    Clam chowder
    Jerry W.

    We've gone to another Anayas so we're familiar with the menu. The fish and chips were really good and well seasoned. My wife enjoyed her meal as well. I was surprised the place wasn't all that busy. Perhaps it's the location. It's actually easier and quicker to get to than the other store we've been to. We will be back.

    Lettuce appears rotten.

    From Bad To Worse I ordered salad with grilled salmon cooked medium. They brought out salad with blackened salmon. When I said it wasn't what I ordered the guy was rude and with an incredulous tone said," You didn't order blackened?" He said it as though I had made the mistake. Then they brought a salad with salmon somewhat grilled. The salmon had been cut or broken open. It did not appear to have been cooked to medium. The parts you can see in the photo appear to be closer to rare. Also, the lettuce bordered on not fresh to rotten. We pointed it out to the server and sent it back. We asked that it be removed from our ticket and asked for the manager. We pointed out the problems to the manager and she wanted to offer something else. We said we wouldn't eat anything from their kitchen and she left. We waited for the check when the manager reappeared. She began to say that they use red lettuce and that's what we saw. Rather than accepting responsibility for serving rotten food she tried to blame us for not knowing what old lettuce looks like. She kept harassing us and going on and on. She was very rude. I'm unloading some photos. My wife who is a foodie and gourmet level cook was there. She is also a registered sanitarian. We know the difference between red lettuce and old rotten lettuce. The salad is priced at $17.89. It should not be old or rotten.

    Mixed feelings on our dinners. However, service by Felipe was great. The crab cake appetizer was two large cakes and a small salad. The crab meat was gray and bland. The special grouper Oscar was ok but I didn't care for the hollandaise sauce. The big plus for the night was the blackened catfish and shrimp combination. It is served with fries and delicious coleslaw. I recommend the combo.

    This is a nice local restaurant with seafood. I had the gumbo and a catfish only. Everything was delicious and seasoned well. They also had happy hour everyday with different options on their menu. I look forward to visiting again.

    Margarita flight
    Jaquita L.

    Decided to come here for brunch and the three stars are for the service, which was good and the food didn't take long to arrive. Now on to the food: Margarita flight 5/10: I only drank 2 out of the 4 because I didn't care for the flavors of the other 2 and I'm not a fan of Tajin in my drinks. Catfish and shrimp 4/10: the portion size was nice, the fries and fried shrimp were good. The fish grilled and fried were disappointing. Lack of flavor on the grilled and fried fish.

    I had the cedar plank salmon with a French 75!!! Deeeelish!!!
    Jessikay J.

    The food is delicious...& my French 75 was superb! I've been here a couple times already and will continue to come back!!

    Seafood gumbo
    Louis F.

    This place is amazing , the price is also amazing and I'm definitely coming back. The catfish was fried perfectly , the gumbo was flavorful and my son said he enjoyed his grilled shrimp. The service was awesome and fast. Everyone was so nice and such a mature atmosphere I will be back!!!

    Salmon Salad
    Sherelle L.

    Went for a weekday lunch break and we were super excited since this place has so many good reviews! However, it turned out to be mid. The time and food here was not memorable to us. I got the salmon caesar salad and for the price I would have expected a different bed of lettuce not just romaine. The salmon was cooked well though, and the sauce was good. His meal needed more sauce, and the piece of chicken was small. Maybe we ordered the wrong things? but we will most likely not go back any time soon

    My family and friends have been attending Anaya's seafood for years literally one of the best the food is fresh. We often stop by and also purchase takeout orders that way we don't have to worry about cooking at home strongly recommend!

    Catfish & Shrimp

    We enjoyed our meals. The crab cakes and hush puppies were on the starter menu. They were very good. The crab cakes were flavorful. I was told the catfish and shrimp were very good as well. A new place for seafood.

    Seafood Enchiladas
    Aaron H.

    All day Happy Hour on Saturday & Sunday, say no more! On a recent date night, the misses and I had a chance to try Anaya's after recommendations from a couple of friends. A smaller establishment Anaya's fancies your seafood lovers who enjoy cozy and quaint environments. Whether it's date night or grabbing a quick meal, Anaya's vibe caters to all. A pleasant surprise as well, all cocktails during happy hour at $7.95 an unbeatable tag for quality. Upon recommendations from the staff and a neighboring table, we opted for Stuffed Crab & Salmon, along with Seafood Enchiladas and Bang Bang Shrimp as an app. The seafood sauce on the enchiladas had bit of a kick however the flavorful profile was undeniable! However the highlight was a speciality item in the stuffed crab & salmon, so good the misses didn't like my fork coming across the table. Service and wait time for food were excellent for a Saturday evening. We'll definitely be back to try other menu items and enjoy happy once more. Kudos Anaya's

    Crab and shrimp queso!   You can't find anything this good in Dallas!!!!!

    Friends this place is awesome! Tucked away from the main Beltline restaurants it's a diamond worth finding! We had incredible tropical drinks (tried 4 different ones that were all awesome.....we also go there for happy hour and they were only $7.95 or something! WELL worth it). Server was Kevin and he was SOOO attentive! Took time to give us details about their menu and the board and we never lacked for anything! Great job Kevin! Now the food is where this place REALLY shines! All fresh made from scratch the portions are large, filling and absolutely delicious! We had the crab and shrimp queso served with fresh fried flour tortilla chips, the AMAZING poblano pepper soup (a MUST have) crab cakes and dynamite shrimp tacos. I can't say enough good about Anaya's. It was quiet enough to have a good conversation and was a perfect date night! I hope everyone will try it! We need these good restaurants to keep popping up! Beautiful job Anayas!!!!! Keep up the good work!

The chairs were way too short for the tables, which made sitting and eating uncomfortable. On top of that, the table we were seated at was extremely small and could barely fit all of the food we ordered, so everything felt cramped. Our waiter was also barely around, making it difficult to get refills or ask for anything we needed. The food itself was still good, which is why I'm giving it three stars, but between the uncomfortable seating, tiny table, and lack of attentive service, it wasn't a very pleasant dining experience overall.

As I pulled in, the very first thing I spotted was a sign: "Hot Boiled Crawfish Here." Well... ALRIGHT!!! I hadn't had any mudbugs yet this season, so it felt like fate. The service? Fantastic.

Washed it all down with a cold draft Shiner... couldn't have been better. Great food, great timing, and a vibe that's upbeat, welcoming, and just plain fun. Definitely a spot worth dropping into!

I sat there loving the celery. THE CELERY! When was the last time you read a review about how great the celery was? My only "complaint" (if you can call it that) was that you only get one little piece of garlic bread cut in half. So I rarely get dessert but the bread pudding sounded great. It is served hot, but not so hot that all the ice cream melts. This has raisins but I think they may also have se Ocean Spray Craisins. I could be wrong but there were two different colored things in there. So the main point of my review is even bad stuff is WONDERFUL here
