This location didn't deliver to what I'm use to getting from this restaurant. We were welcomed as we entered the restaurant. Our server was BEE and she was attentive to our requests. She made sure she got our large order correct. I enjoyed the decor of the restaurant as well as the music. This a comfortable atmosphere. Our food and drinks came pretty quickly with warm cornbread. Our ribs were overly cooked. I'm use to having the meat fall off the bone. The catfish was fried to perfection with the perfect blend of seasoning. The greens and Mac n cheese were delicious. This location does offer QR code pay. Apple Pay and google play is welcome. Credit cards and cash is also acceptable. There is public parking on the street and in the back of the restaurant.

Catered my buddy's 50th birthday. The catfish blew my mind. I guess I never had catfish before. I don't eat fish much, but I can't quit thinking how delicious it was.

I called in to place a to go order of a full rack of baby back ribs wich were good, however the side dish of candied yams were partially uncooked, the Coleslaw was no more than cabbage with a spoon full of dressing poured on top of bit, and the corn bread muffins were burnt and over baked. I Do love the Oceanside location, always a great meal,but I will never visit the Lake Elsinore one.

This place was amazing I can’t wait to go back and bring friends. The catfish was the best I ever tasted. I ordered a peach Long Island tea and let’s just say I only needed one since it was family day but best believe I’m coming back and did I mention it was HAPPY HOUR ( doing a happy dance) The cornbread was perfect . The atmosphere and the customer service is top tier..
It is insanely hard to find good BBQ. At most places, the meat is alright but those side dishes are poor or worse. Barbecued meats are good and the sides are Head and shoulders better than almost any other place I have eaten.

Omg! One of the best BBQ places in town...or any town for that matter. Hubby and I had two deliveries and everything was packaged beautifully and delishious. We finally went to the restaurant, and the food and service was outstanding. If you are in Lake Elsinore, you need to try Felix's.
Jesus H Roosevelt Christ this place is GOOD.By far the best BBQ I've had in decades.The large tri-tip meal was more than enough to feed me and 2 kids with leftovers. Meat was perfect; tender, hint of Smokeyness without being over powering with amazing BBQ sauce. Corn bread was caramelized on the outside but still moist on the inside, mac-n-chz was legit, and I'd never had braised cabbage before but now I'm in love. Aaaaaaand this place not only had fried green tomatoes but does them right. Need I say more?Excellent food, new family favorite, worth every single penny.

Well omg, if you’ve ever had southern cuisine actually while in the south, eat here, you’ll think you’d died and gone to heaven.Been there several times and the food is consistently excellent. Wild caught Delta catfish, collard greens, black eyed peas and more, oh the mashed potatoes and gravy all tastes, just like you were in the south somewhere YUM!You know that edge, of flavors that pushes authentic food over the top!?! They have it!
So far so good the oxtail are great and Mac and beans and rice is

Early this afternoon, my brother and I went to Felix. We ordered two sampler platters. One platter had a double portion of catfish niggets (barely any nuggets & super small), brisket, baby back ribs, fried okra, braised cabbage, yams, and collard greens. Normally, we have cornbread muffins; however, there were no muffins. We got butter but no muffins. What sense does that make?The second sampler had tri tip, pulled chicken, baby back ribs, and catfish nuggets (4 very very small peices of catfish. Like 1 peice was but up into 4 small peices), yams, mac n cheese, hoppin john, and baked beans. We also got a slice of pecan and sweet potatoe pie f0r dessert. We got butter, but no muffins. We also had to ask for our drinks which were 2 Shirley Temples.Normally, the food is excellent; however, today the food wasnt no where near worth the $100 including the nice tip left we spent. We are going to pass on returning and take the drive to the San Marcos or Oceanside locations. The food at both locations are consistently excellent! The meals come with decent proportions & always has cornbread muffins on our to go orders.I know times are tight, but come on man. How do you serve bbq with just butter, hold the cornbread muffins.Highly faithful, and extremely disappointed customer.

Went here Friday night and it was so good, as usual. I had the Shrimp and Grits. Wow! Seriously the best I have ever had! Hubby had the brisket and loved it. We both loved the cornbread (always good), the fried green tomatoes, and the collard greens. What a hidden gem in Lake Elsinore! It never disappoints!

My family and I came here for dinner and it didn't disappoint! Hubby and I shared they're sampler which came with 4 meats and 4 sides for only $32!! So much food for an awesome price. My daughter got the kids hamburger with fries and she loved it. They're corn muffins we're fresh out of the oven and had crispy buttery edges. Our waitress was awesome, showed great hospitality and gave her recommendations. We will definitely be back again!
Beemeful ..
My wife and I went to Felix's today.She had been talking about this place for awhile. First off It took a long time to get our drinks, then it took awhile for someone to come over and take our order. I ask for a sample of Mac and cheese because you never know... (noodles were overcooked)The food was very salty and the service was poor.

I usually order Felix's through doordash or UberEats. If you're gonna order delivery from them, this is how it works: whatever you would like to enter in your order notes, just don't. Even if you say please and thank you, just not gonna happen here. The only way you'll possibly get what you'd like in your order notes is if whoever is working is just feeling good that day and just happens to add stuff. But yea, if you specifically ask for something like, idk, utensils, condiments, they will make sure that they don't add that stuff without fail. That said...I've only ever dined in once. There is a good sized dining area inside. This is situated along Main Street, so there is street parking.Typically, I always order the same thing here-fried catfish dinner with one or two sides, one of which is usually their Mac n cheese.The catfish here is solid. Not my favorite but solid and world's better than AJ's-the only other place in this city that serves fried catfish. You will get a pretty good portion, fried pretty good. Served with a lemon. Prefer hot or tartar sauce? Don't order delivery from here, or just make sure you have your own sauce.Mac n cheese here is actually pretty good as well. Doesn't necessarily ever really taste fresh but it does taste cheesy. Meals are usually served with two pieces of cornbread. Hopefully you get it fresh and odds are you will. They have some of the best cornbread I've ever had. Not some, they do have the best. You know how some places serve rolls, bread and other ish with their entrees and you could probably careless about them. Not with this cornbread. One time most of my order was ready but they were waiting on a fresh tray of cornbread to get done. My uber arrived so I had to tell them to forget it. I was so frustrated, I had to put in another order days later to get my cornbread fix.

My family and I have ate here 3x. Twice we dined in and once we ordered food to go...The food and customer service all 3x were awesome! My favorite is the fried catfish, fried okra and baby back ribs! I highly recommend
