Had the catfish dinner with two sides: baked beans and greens. My wife ordered Catfish shrimp and Fries. I guess we weren't in... the mood for ribs this trip so I will need to get back to try those. Everything was great except the beans were too spicy forme or my wife who usually likes spicy food. The catfish was delicious though. Read more
First things first. Located inside the National City Public Market. You have to walk inside the market to get to Smitty's.... Orders are not taken on the phone. Order directly through their website link. If you are new to soul food or Louisiana ribstyle, then this eaterie would be good. If you are familiar with at least 5 styles barbecue and da real deal soul food, thenthe food and money value are not aligned. Actually, my one time may likely be unreturned. I was in a party of two but I shouldhave just ordered one plate with two sides to give the food a taste test. Fifty bucks later, I'm a disappointed eater. I orderedpick up. It is apparent that all the food is pre-cooked and perhaps they have not mastered how to keep its freshness through theheat up process prior to serving. I was 6 minutes away. Hungry like a roaring lion on the African terrain. The inside of theribs were cold. The other dishes were lukewarm. Although the ribs were tender and flavorful. The mac&cheese was mushy. Asharper cheese is recommended to blend. Or better yet a bechamel sauce and seasoning. Yet, I liked the texture of the pasta. Youknow how when beans get to the bottom of the pot and get mushy? Yep, that's what I was served. Mushy and dryish. But I can seewhere they were going and it would have worked out perhaps maybe just not on this visit. And the corn bread was so dry that itcrumbled to smithereens. Now, greens are the easiest vegetable to make tasty, but an easy vegetable to make bland. These were onthe bland side. I must be clear the meal was not Louisianian style. Being from Louisiana and cooking like a Louisianian aredifferent. I'm just sayin'. Louisiana is known for flavor. And a ten on two. I know intimately what is expected from a Louisianian culinarian. Today was not that day. I want to support. And I will. But not fiscally. I'll get the word out butremember you're on your own. Since there's other eateries in the public market you may have a better cuisine Read more
