    I love catfish but never order it here. One of my absolute favorite meals in the world is the Charbroiled Chicken from Leon's. The chicken is great but the bed of rice is fantastic! If you have any room left, try the caramel pie for dessert. There is something about this place that is special to me. Maybe it is because we ate there after church for lunch for years. Either way, it tastes like home should whether I eat there on Sunday or not.

    Good catfish plate and they leave a pitcher of tea on the table no doubt to save time. I was there at 12:15 on a Sunday and the church crowd had packed the place. Service did not suffer. Pine Bluff is off my usual route between Texas and Tennessee but Leon's is worth a return trip. It would be nice if they had Wi-Fi but I'm told the owners are so backwards that they don't even have a FAX machine.

    DANGER! Just left this place. It was absolutely gross. Zero star rating. Marked one only because must do so to post. The hush puppies are served with nacho cheese?!? The boiled shrimp were the most bland I've ever had, and they are served cold, as opposed to fresh and warm. The fish was also bland and a bit slimy. The best thing on our plates was the baked potato wrapped in foil. $65 dollars later for 4 and I feel completely robbed. Told staff when they asked the food was not good, and they simply said "I'm sorry." Traveling through and will never stop here again.

    Hush puppies are great but fish is lacking in meat. Sometimes all I get is fried bread and no meat. Also very dry. Reminds me of cardboard. I've gotten sick two times in a row and don't ever plan on going back. In my opinion, it's overpriced and lacking in the taste department.

    First of all, the map on Yelp is wrong. Leon's is in the Chapel Village mall on Camden Rd. just a few blocks off the expressway exit 39 - NOT on Chapel Hts off Sulphur Springs. Attentive staff: we were given the special as we were seated. Iced tea and hush puppies arrived minutes after we sat down. Those hush puppies were gone by then end of the meal; crispy and delish. We had the fried catfish, which was thin and crispy, not oily or heavy. Sides: baked potato (at 11 am) was the basic potato, and cole slaw was fresh. Gumbo was flavorful and well spiced, good but not great. Our kids had the popcorn shrimp, which was also fresh - no strong smell. The seasoned fries were good and crispy too. We will stop by again if we are in the area.

    The catfish is delicious! We love catfish and this is by far the BEST we have ever had. You will not be disappointed! Try the onion rings, too - a light and yummy homemade batter makes these especially tasty. The food portions are large, it is very reasonably priced and the service is very fast and courteous. Great place!!!

    A coworker of mine insisted on stopping off at Leon's for "the best catfish you'll ever have" and surprisingly that assessment was pretty much dead on. And it's not based on limited exposure to fried catfish (which would push Leon's to the top by default) since I've had the privilege of travelling throughout southern Arkansas and Texarkana. This was actually the best fried catfish I have tried and it was very cheap. The breading was surprisingly light and the pieces of fish were thin so that you didn't feel as though you were eating a big piece of fried mystery fish. The six piece meal is a great starter and they give you the option of asking for more and "upgrading" to the all you can eat for only $2 more. The nice thing about this was that the catfish wasn't sitting under a heat lamp like most buffets or all-you-can-eat joints. The second helping is fried up while you waited. Your experience at Leon's begins with (unsweetened) tea, coleslaw, and hush puppies. The coleslaw is vinegar based and a little on the sweet side but decent. The hush puppies came with a nacho cheese reminiscent of the movie theater variety cheese. The jalapenos gave the hush puppies a slight kick which distracted you from the fried cornbread flavor. They are addictive and could easily fill you up if it weren't for the short wait time until your entrees come out from the kitchen. The special that day was chicken fried steak which came with flavorless mashed potatoes dripping in white gravy. The steak and potatoes didn't really stand out other than the lightness of the fried steak, much like the catfish. It was accompanied by overcooked sweet carrots and buttery green beans. The dinner roll was very dense and provided a much needed palette cleansing between the different fried dishes. The staff is very friendly and make the whole meal much more enjoyable. The homemade pies were tempting but I was too full to try them. If you're in the area this is definitely worth a visit, especially given the alternatives. If this is your first time having fried catfish you won't be disappointed, at least not until you try it somewhere else.
