Food- oysters were extremely overpriced. Service - excellent Ambiance- about the same as any fast food joint. Disappointing at best. read more

Good food..it was late and the lobster roll and tacos were good. The service was pretty typical since the restaurant was closing. Could be cleaner..could be updated..chairs and tables are a bit worn. But otherwise food was tasty. read more

Atkins was recommended by a friend who grew up in Waxahachie. We were met by a cheerful staff and server Cassidy. I have lived in Grapevine for the past five years and have been looking for a "fresh" seafood diner and market ever since, without success. I'm happy to report, my search is over!! We were informed that Atkins has access to fresh seafood (through a relative with a boat!) from the Gulf. Our servings of Calamari, Lobster Roll and Salmon were exceptional!! You could pay a lot more at other places and not enjoy the quality of the seafood we had here. They will even prepare the raw shrimp they sale in their market, to your liking (P&D, tail on-tail off, etc.). Atkins is well worth the drive and I can't wait to return for the crab cakes and fish tacos!! read more

Maybe better than all the lobster rolls I had in Maine?? Corn chowder? Yes please! The service as phenomenal as well! read more

Service was friendly. The seafood was delicious. Really wasn't expecting such good seafood inland. We had fried shrimp, shrimp bacon Caesar wrap, cajun crab legs, and shrimp burger. You could also buy fresh market seafood. Don't leave without getting dessert. Peach cobbler was amazing and key lime pie was so good we went back the next day and bought a whole key lime pie to take to a rehearsal dinner. read more

Wow. We have lived in Texas for five years now, and I will say this is the best seafood place. I have been to so far. I got the red fish Poboy, and the fish was cooked to perfection. We were a little hesitant in ordering the New England clam chowder Because we are from the New England area. We know what good clam chowder is. But they claim they made theirs fresh so we gave it a try and we were not disappointed. It was very good. We went there around 5 o'clock on a Saturday night and there was plenty of seating. The weight staff was super nice and super friendly! It is also a bar so there are TVs with sports on it around the seating area and the bar area. Overall, this place is a 10 out of 10. It was a pleasure to eat there. read more

The service and food here are always great. And if you don't know, their fish is always fresh and based on what the family fishing business brings in off the gulf and their local suppliers. We had the Fish and Crab Cake combo with spicy friend Redfish, and the Fish and Shrimp with fried Redfish and fried Shrimp. Both were awesome as always, the hushpuppies were good, and the drinks were great too. We had never had the Ruttin' Buck or Red Snapper drinks before, but both were really, really good. I would highly recommend getting a real drink instead of just ordering beer. You can get that anywhere. Atkins is small, but also has a great patio, and the food comes out pretty quick so the place turns over tables quicker than you might expect. With that said, they never rush you and it's a great place for a date night or dinner with the family. read more

Atkins and I've Fort Worth on occasions. But tonight was the exception we happen to be in Midlothian and decided to grab a lobster roll to go when we got there. We saw there was room for us so we told her we had placed an order to go, but we really would like to eat there. She was very accommodating. Once we sat down, the manager came over to us and informed us that we were taking up a table from one of his waitresses and that next time we won't be able to sit there and eat our food after we've ordered to go. We said nothing they brought us our food. We ate ordered a tea. And because we had already paid for our meal when we ordered it to go, we left five dollars on the table for the tea. We had already left a tip. The manager chased us down in the parking lot to pay for our tea. When I went back to confront him about the humiliation, he had caused us. He would not come out of the kitchen to talk to me. This is the only recourse I have I hope the owner Trace Adkins reads this message Jerry was the manager and I'd appreciate a response. read more

Atkins Seafood - Bacon avocado shrimp burger with sweet potato fries - Seafood Near Me - Waxahachie, Texas

Delicious seafood and great service! Very fresh! Will definitely go back! Highly recommend

Wonderful customer service and delicious food. The fish, shrimp and oysters are fresh and lightly breaded, seasoned perfectly. Nothing frozen. Good coleslaw and the fried okra was yummy. The hush puppies are different. They are on the sweet side. Lots of choices to choose from and they have non-fishing items as well. I hear the gumbo is very good too. Looking forward to going back to try something different. read more

We went last night for dinner and had an excellent meal. I'm not a hush puppy fan and these were excellent! I ordered Key Lime Pie for dessert and they make it there and it was so delicious! Our waitress was great and the service was excellent! Definitely will be back! read more

Great food at a reasonable price, will return to this place when I am wanting seafood again

Excellent food! Not overly breaded frozen fried shrimp like a lot of places serve... but fresh with just the right amount of spices! The fried fish was light, fresh, and again not overly breaded! The service was excellent as well! We'll be back! read more

The food here has been excellent every time we have been. Great drink selection at the bar too. Service is good. The Ambiance is just what you want, whether you are hanging out at the bar, or enjoying e delicious meal. read more

Nicole was our server and she was very good helpful and friendly. She checked back periodically to make sure everything was OK and if we needed anything. My husband had the fish of the day piccata style and it came with vegetables and rice pilaf he said it was perfect. I had the salmon and I got to pick two sides and I picked vegetables and garlic bread. Both were good. The salmon was OK nothing to write home about. I had a hurricane drink and it was different than what I was used to, but OK. My husband had a draft Yuengling which he has had before and likes it. We decided to eat outside as it was a nice day and I'm glad we did. read more

So we were visiting our son here in Waxahachie one Saturday and decided to dine in here at Atkins before heading back home. The inside is pretty small and with that being said it can get loud, especially if there is a sporting event on. The service was a bit on the slow side that day, but it was packed, so I will give them that. The wife likes this place and but when I took my food to go and finally ate it when I got home, there was nothing great about the food. It was average at best. It reminded me of Aw Shucks in Dallas and I don't like Aw Shucks. This place gets a lot of business, so someone likes their food better than I do. read more

I guess I didn't write a review of Atkins Seafood when we had lunch in the prior location. I have to say that I had a little rush of nostalgia for it when we were seated in the new place. Missed the fish on ice staring at me, I suppose, and that feeling of ceiling space. It's been a long time ago, I know. The new place is nice; but seems already out grown. Seating was tight when we were there on a weekday in the middle of the afternoon. A party of five big men was seated on the stools facing the big windows and they didn't seem too keen on not getting a table. The aroma of fried fish won out probably as they all took their precarious seats. It was way too hot for the patio. Everybody was staying put. It was loud. It was slow. And ultimately, my first crab cake, when it finally came out, was sadly, grossly undersized and undercooked as compared to my husband's. I asked about how loose and Mayo-ey it was and the waitress sent it back. The second one was perfect! A truly tasty firm crabby crab cake. However, I still wasn't real happy with my nickel size fried oysters. I was worn out from the crab cake discussion and didn't ask what kind they were. They actually were crispy mini taste treats and not overcooked. Still, $15.50 later and I was not, you know, feeling it. On the other hand, my husband chose wisely. His combo basket ($18.75) with fried Cod- one of the fishes of the day - and a crab cake with Cole slaw, onion rings, a hushpuppy and Remoulade was absolutely delicious, he said. The Cod was firm, flaky and the batter crispy, not greasy. The onion rings were also very good. Our waitress honestly was overwhelmed at times. But I liked her and she was doing her best. I'm sure the food must be prepared fairly consistently or Atkins wouldn't be as busy as they always seem to be; but I left disappointed. I would like to mention the Atkins Seafood Store, though, which occupies the old space at 300 Ferris Ave. We dropped in and they still have the same wonderful fresh and frozen fish for sale and services to offer. read more

This place is solid! Great service, clean facility, awesome food!! I had a salad with the house vinaigrette, super good. Fried shrimp with a crab cake and fried okra. Everything was awesome! Gulf shrimp, spicy fry, so good. A crab cake that consists of crab meat?!? This thing was great. The fried okra was even excellent. Highly suggest this spot! read more

Food and drink were served fresh, fast and good at the bar!! I like how the fish changes by the day and it varies between fried and baked.

This place is great I mean the cozy vibe well only the lights lol but other than that the food is great even if it's expensive. tho the service is pretty clumsy but it's ok they were trying their best :) read more

DEFLY a strong 4.1on the star rating...it's a small restaurant with Great energy & food . My Biggest Qualm was the 'Singular,' hush puppy that came with the entrees... thought it a bit -cheap- to have 1 ssmmaallll Hush puppy on plate. 3 would be ideal as they are DELISH! Or if the point is to assure there is no waste confirm w/client whether they would like the hush puppies on their plate? My skinny margarita jist' ok... put off by the use of o.j. To replace the sweet aspect of skinny cocktail. But would have been BETTER W/O, that addition, maybe a tad of some agave??? My Salmon cooked to perfection black bean salad tasty! My husband had the fried fish & shrimp it was ok. A bit too greasy. Overall, a place we would return to. read more

Loved the food. Great selection. Highly recommend if you are in the adorable town of Waxahachie.

Straight up the best fish and shrimp I've had in Texas. A bit pricy, but no exaggeration they know how to cook some fish, shrimp and salmon. Excellent meal all the way around and the best Buffalo shrimp anywhere completely saturated with Buffalo sauce, perfectly crispy and delicious sweet potato fries. Good service, good shrimp appetizer. We sit outside with a heater and the inside was packed. The "spicy fried" fish was seriously the best cooked great seasoned and fresh tasting. Even the fountain diet Dr Pepper tasted great and for me that's usually not the case for fountain soda. This is the 2nd time my wife has been here and she bragged about the nice portion of salmon on her salad and how perfectly cooked and seasoned. It's a hit for me and now one of my favorite places in Waxahachie read more

Drive to Waxahachie for a date and we picked Atkins on a whim. Very glad we did because the food was amazing. We sat at the bar so the service was top notch. Great ambiance for the evening too. We got the seafood platter with the blacked red fish. I live just outside of Houston and we don't have a good seafood restaurant like Atkins read more

My husband and I come here once a month or more. He loves seafood and I'm a vegetarian so finding a restaurant we can both eat at is trying to. If anyone asks me for a good salad in Waxahachie...it is hands down here. The salad has berries, feta cheese, and almonds. The servers here are always gracious and friendly. My husband loves the grilled fish...freshly caught from the gulf. read more

So it is now 2021 and Atkins Seafood is still killing in the kitchen and customer service! I always get the blackened fish basket and they usually have a mixed veggie side special that I get with it. Along with hush puppies, which are delicious and a sweet tea. They typically have a great dessert as well. On July 6th they will be moving just up the street to a new and slightly bigger building! So keep your eyes peeled for that move and remember. There is a lot of construction going on in the area right now but I think they may finally be almost done! The traffic in Waxahachie is getting a little Cray Cray on the weekends so, prepare yourself! Fresh food and kind service! read more

Tried Atkins for the first time. It wasn't the easiest place to get to with various roads shut down in Waxahachie and the parking is limited and spaces are small. The place is also small- we were lucky to get in when we did because it filled up pretty quickly. They are moving to a new location though! The new place is easier to spot (sorry Hachie residents, your hidden gem isn't going to be so hidden anymore) and looks like there will be plenty of parking. The menu is decent with something for everyone. I saw a burger option for those that don't like to eat seafood and plenty of seafood and non seafood options for kids. Something I did expect to see: the Gulf Oysters. Something I didn't expect to see :Blue Point Oysters!!!! Love having the option to eat oysters that don't taste like mud :) My husband got half a dozen and they came with the standard saltines, horseradish and cocktail sauce. I went for the Scallop potato bisque. it just sounded interesting. It was creamy and savory. Even though it was 95 degrees outside and not at all soup weather, I thoroughly enjoyed it. We both got fish poboys. My husband got his blacked and I took mine the way it came. Wonderful!!!!! Very glad we found this place. Will definitely be back and I can't wait until they open the new location read more

Atkins was the most authentic dining experience I had on a recent trip to the metroplex area. I'm not talking about regional cuisine experience, I'm talking about hospitality and good people experience. Texas really isn't much different than California which their large restaurant chains and the same fast-causal restaurants that are found in every other state. This place was different. It was packed with locals who loved to srrike up a conversation. We met a few locals who loved telling us about how many Californians are moving to Texas. Anyway, nice place for lunch in Waxahachie. - They're moving to a new location, so your GPS might send you there by mistake as construction is many months away from completion. Call first. - Fish in the fish tacos were really small pieces. - Best hushpuppis I've ever had. read more

Gumbo was subpar, very watery, and the sausage tasted old. My fried okra half cooked half raw. Our blackened po boy came out cold with the sweet potatoes fries. Their hushpuppies were good, and their fried fish batter was decent. The server tried fixing our food but we just let her know that it was cold. She brought us a complimentary dessert to apologize. The music inside was very loud and we couldn't hear each other, but overall it was okay. read more

Dined on a Friday afternoon around 2:30pm, ordered the large fish basket w/2 fillets. Included 1 hushpuppy and 2 sides (fries, grilled veggies). Initially, was shocked @ the price ($18), but figured the portions must be huge. Nope. After a 20-minute wait, my food arrived. The veggies (diced zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes and onions) were the best thing on the plate, followed closely by the hushpuppy. The fish was fresh, but the portions (for the price) were marginal at best. I dunno -- maybe they were imported from Midlothian. The peach cobbler was tasty but soupy. And the atmosphere was tiny bar w/a side of dining room. If you're looking for THAT place to get fish & chips in Hachie, keep looking. read more
