Elijah's Cafe: Comfort Food at Its Finest in Woodville, TX

Excellent comfort food, great service, and the menu has a good variety. I came to this place twice for the food and service. The food is delicious and the portions are fair for the price you pay. The waiter I had on the first visit was a young man with excellent manners. Im not from the area and was impressed by so many young adults saying Ma'am and Sir often. I wish most people had these manners. I returned the next day and got the fried catfish that came with three sides plus a roll and cornbread. It was yummy! Service is fast and ambience is friendly. I highly recommend this place.

Just popped in while passing through. Great food and service! I had the grilled chicken with broccoli and corn. The chicken was well seasoned and cooked to perfection over a bed of rice. My wife had the blackened talipia with corn and yams. My son had the chicken strips and said, " Dad the chicken strips taste so different.... You can tell they aren't frozen!" What a gem of a restaurant in a small town!

This was not my first trip to Elijah's Cafe, nor will it be my last! The waitstaff are friendly and helpful in their recommendations, and service is generally quick, though they can get quite busy at times. Upon a recommendation from our waitress, I ordered the Sweet Heat grilled catfish - three catfish filets with habanero pico de gallo on a bed of rice. Possibly the best thing I've had there! The catfish was excellent, and I'm not generally a huge fan of catfish. This dish, however, is worth a try and I'll likely order it again.

We got the steak and shrimp special with onion rings and carrots with blackberry cobbler! Oh so good!!!! We will go again!

Ignore the food snobs. I've traveled around the world and have a discerning palate. I'm not a picky eater but I know quality food. The food here is some of the best I've ever had anywhere. It's a nice surprise to find such good quality in a small town. It is a must whenever we visit Martin Dies Jr. State Park. I can't recommend a single thing because everything is amazing. The last thing I had there was the meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Amazing. Okay there is one standout - the cobbler! If you don't order anything else, at least get the cobbler. Some of the best I've ever had. Even if you have to drive a bit to get here it's completely worth it.

Pros Great food and service Prices are really a good deal Central location Cons Does not honor Yelp coupon they have It was a little warm inside, but this has been a hot summer
