Bankhead Seafood has great seafood, good flavor, and a really nice rooftop vibe. Food came out fresh and hot. Definitely a spot I'd come back to. read more

We've been wanting to try out Bankhead Seafood every since we heard that Killer Mike and TI were purchasing it and updating it, now we finally have. It's in the same exact spot that it always has been, but definitely has had a much needed face-lift, that also includes a small rooftop. Parking is very limited, so I'm not sure what the options are if they are packed. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon, around 3pm and the place wasn't too packed, but we got the last available parking spot. When we arrived, we were greeted and the ordering process was explained to us. You select your seat and then order that the counter or the bar. The restaurant is cute and colorful inside. There's probably 8 or so booths for seating and stools at the bar. We ordered whiting basket, hushpuppies and catfish sandwich basket. The fish and the hushpuppies are the stars of everything! Our fish was fried and seasoned perfectly, both my husband's whiting and my catfish on my sandwich. You will not leave hungry! Although it's not cheap, they give you a lot of food! The hushpuppies could've came out the grease a few minutes earlier, but they were still really good! I'm a sucker for a hushpuppies with corn and a little sweetness! My only dislikes were the fries and the cheap ketchup, other than that, everything was really good! We'll definitely be back!! read more

Bankhead Seafood is one of those spots you go to for the drinks, the music, and the vibes--not necessarily the food. The setup is pretty casual. You order your food at the register, grab your drinks, and find your own seat. Just a heads up: the parking lot is small and there isn't much additional parking nearby, so plan accordingly. I ordered the whiting with hush puppies and added mac & cheese because I just knew it was about to hit. Unfortunately, the food missed the mark for me. The fish wasn't fried right--it lacked that golden, crispy crunch that good whiting should have. The mac & cheese was also underwhelming and didn't have much flavor. Now let's talk about what they got right: the drinks. Every cocktail we tried was really good and honestly saved the experience. Would I come back? Yes--for drinks and vibes. If you're pulling up expecting the seafood to be the star of the show, you may leave a little disappointed. read more

This review is based solely on the takeout that was brought to me, so I'm focusing strictly on the food. I had the Fried Whiting, Mac n Cheese, Coleslaw, and Hushpuppies. The fish was cooked well with a nice crunch, but it lacked seasoning and tasted like a standard store bought fish fry mix. I was hoping for a more distinctive flavor that would make it stand out. The Mac n cheese was good, but not unique. It had a flavor similar to Kraft or Velveeta cheese. The hushpuppies had corn kernels in them, and tasted the most homemade and authentic out of everything I tried. Unfortunately, the coleslaw didn't work for me at all. It had a very bitter and sour taste, and it seemed to be missing the creamy balance I usually expect. It was not good at all. Overall, the food was OK, but other than the hushpuppies, it all tasted like it leaned on pre-made or familiar ingredients rather than a distinct memorable flavor. read more

After seeing the pics online I had to drive from Gwinnett for a fish sammich and it did not disappoint!! The staff was friendly, the food took a minute but I really didn't mind, the place was clean and security directed us to the parking spot. I'll be back to checkout the rooftop and get another fish sammich!! And a Killer Mike sighting what beats that?? read more

First time here at Bankhead Seafood. They are a little slow. No Drinks or tea this day just lemonade and kool-aid. Not sure if you can get free water but they had their own branded water for 3 bucks a bottle. We went before the late crowd. Parking is very limited. The food was worth the wait though. Best Fish Sandwich I have had in years. read more

Salmon Philly, fries and water....pretty good!! The staff was pleasant and polite. The decor was modern and pretty chic. The sandwich roll was nice and soft, complimented the salmon well. The sauce was a little spicy but Im not a fan of anything spicy, so it's probably just my wimpy tastebuds. I did however expect more dressing on the sub, lettuce, mayo, and pickles but it still hit the spot. The crinkle cut fries were nice and crispy but due to the fact that we didn't want the special seasoning they were pretty bland. Overall, it was a great experience and I'd definitely go back! read more

Iykyk world famous made famous by a shout-out on Goodie Mob Soul Food song back in the day! I used to come here when Mama Helen Harden had this place on lock with the $5.50 fish plate with hush puppies before she passed and the new ownership by Ti and Killer Mike. I used to happily wait in line for 15 - 20 minutes with no complaints.This is my first time visiting the new building on 5-15-2026. They did a great job with the new building and the customer service is top tier. I got the delicious big ass fish sandwich it's huge combo with seasoned fries and the grape koolaid. I got my mom a order to go also she got whiting and shrimp and hush puppies. On our way out of the door some guys were taking a picture with Killer Mike. I waited until they finish and gave Killer Mike a what's up and congratulations on the Granny's and told him that I rocked out at The Tabernacle and One Music Festival with him he dapped me and nephew up. Great experience. Definitely worth the trip not a disappointment. Pull up and check them out for yourself! read more

Good price and drink price is reasonable. I was looking for seafood boil but they do not have any of that. The food was good but I'd say it's time to change the grease when your food comes out with heavy saturated oil throughout the food. read more

Bankhead Seafood was a good experience. The food was fresh, well-seasoned, and came out hot. You can definitely tell they take pride in the quality of their seafood. The restaurant itself was clean and had a comfortable atmosphere, which made the visit even better. The bartender was attentive, polite, and made sure everything was taken care of without us having to ask. Overall, good food, good service, and a clean environment. I'll definitely be back. read more

The service and vibe was immaculate. Its so hard to find a spot in Atlanta that has good customer service. The food was good. Some pros and cons. Below is the details: *Crab Claws : the garlic butter was great. Some of the crabs where perfect and soft and most if the crab tasted over cooked and harder the chew and eat. 5/10 *Mac & Cheese : flavorful, and baked perfectly. 10/10 *Fish Sandwich: crunchy, big serving and fresh! The only con was the old fries served w/ it. 7/10 * Peach Glazed Salmon: the salmon and glaze was bomb! The mashed potatoes were flat and also seemed old. The green beans w/ turkey neck was BOMB! 8/10 May come back and this time will try the fried fish basket, it seems to me the most liked meal on the menu. read more

Food, and Service. My husband and I first time experiencing this restaurant. The customer service and security were on point!! I must say TI and Killer Mike did that with re-opening Bankhead Seafood!! Everything we had was good from beginning to end. read more

Food was hot and delish. Staff was warm and friendly. Our needs were met and we were checked on continously.

They changed their model to an "elevated to go experience" - whatever that means. But the food is served in to go containers. Smh. You have to basically pay 18% to eat in PLUS 5% to order from the bar. We did both so an extra 23% was added to the bill. INSANE! In addition, the menu is now super small with maybe 8 or 9 options. The dirty rice looked like dog food and the macaroni was overly dry. I doubt that neither TI nor Killer Mike is feeding this to their families. This was sad. Real sad. The 23% automatic gratuity made it feel like a robbery. Smh. Def won't ever even think about coming back to this place. read more

Oh my is this place hitting! We came here decades ago when the line was wrapped around the parking lot and you could not sit inside. The food was a lot of fish with fries for about $3. Now, Ti and Killer Mike have bought the place. It is an upscale Bankhead Seafood with the fixin's. We sat down inside and ordered 2-piece fried Catfish, 6-piece shrimp, 2 hush puppies, fries and Cole slaw. I could not finish it all. When I tell you they did their thang, they did their thang! Way come back to where I first fell in love with Atlanta, the AUC and soul food eating! You can not beat their great customer service. The soothe sways of R & B playing in the background is a perfect trendy atmosphere. True Atlanta feels. Check them out. It will not disappoint. C'Lena the server took really good care of us. She is the bomb!!! read more

First visit to this renowned eatery, ice tea and lemonade super duper sweet, only $3 bottle water available to dilute it. Everything is served in to-go bags, even when dining in. Shrimp were decent, fish and hush puppies fried way too hard. read more

I visited Bankhead Seafood today for the first time and please let me say, it was a great time. I had a great time the service was outstanding. C Lena was a gem if you visit ask for c'Lena.

I recommend giving this spot a try and enjoy some good food, great service and a excellent time. read more

My sister in Baltimore put the idea of fish in head this morning while wishing her a Happy Birthday. I had errands to run. All were on the Westside. So I thought I'd give this a try. While I've loved the old place for years. This is not it. I ordered the Bankhead platter with pollock and shrimp. First off the shrimp was definitely not fried long enough and the pollock was fried way to hard. The flavor was there. The cooking was not. The fries were very soggy too. I told my waitress and got a "sorry about that". They only have corona and one other beer. Nice bar setup. I have to say I'll be looking elsewhere for a fish dinner. So $35 later I went to McDonald's for something quick after I left. I will say the staff seemed very nice. read more

Thee best catfish sandwich I've had. I removed the cheese and added hot sauce. It was so filling I couldn't finish the side I ordered. From the bread to the crispy fish and special sauce everything was great. I ordered to go and the food came out in 15 minutes or so. I'll definitely be back and it looks like they have a roof top and patio. read more

Great food. Great customer service. The environment was very clean. I was happy with the experience.

Glad to see the place revitalized. Love the rooftop addition. Great new ambiance. Went for a party and the staff handled the large group well. Crab cakes were a hit and the drinks were delicious. If there you must try the fish for the famous recipe. Parking available behind restaurant or lot across the street. read more

Great service, delicious food. I visited this establishment for the first time and had a positive experience. My waitress was very attentive and made sure I had what I needed. The atmosphere is bright and welcoming and the hostess greeted me with a smile. I ordered the shrimp basket which came with shrimp (seasoned well and crispy), hush puppies and fries. I also tried the mac and cheese and green beans and everything was tasty. There is a bar area that is quite large and plenty of open seating. There was music playing but not too loud. Overall I had a pleasant experience and will be back. The parking is not great so be prepared. There is a police officer outside directing traffic but the spaces are pretty tight. Give this place a try, I think you will be glad you did! read more

The "new" Bankhead Seafood was just OK. I was hoping for more. I do realize that they are probably still in the infancy stage and trying to figure it all out. I went in for lunch and was not sure on if I should seat myself or wait at the host stand since no one was standing there. I asked someone at the bar who told me that someone would seat me. The inside is nice. I imagine that the restaurant becomes a party spot on the weekends. The bartender made delicious cocktails. I ordered a gin gimlet...several times lol. The food was not as good as I hoped for. The fish was fried a little too hard and tasted like Captain D's. I cannot remember the name of the fish used but it was similar to cod. Again, I give grace because I believe they will get the recipes together. The server, however, was top notch. I wish I could remember her name for a shout out. I am a native Atlantan and remember the original Bankhead Seafood. Food was really good back then and hopefully the "new" spot will get there. read more

Always want to come here back when I was a youngin'. One of Atlanta's staple. It shut down and T.I. and Killer Mike partnered with the family of this historical spot to bring back Bankhead Seafood. Clean, good service, and great seafood for decent price. Food made fresh to order. Ambiance is nice, 2 floor building. Get here early cause parking in limited. Best seafood near the Airport Area. read more

Love the history and bringing this black owned business back to life but the food is not good IMO. I'm sorry! I wanted to love it. But it's not seasoned, like at all. We got the perch (I think), whiting, and shrimp. The best thing were the hush puppies. The fries were good too. It just was not memorable at all and not food I would purchase again which is disappointing. The service was great though which is always nice to point out in Atlanta. Food was packaged well. The inside was decorated well - great music (which wasn't too loud). If you have low salt diet or not big on seasoning, this is your spot. If not, you'll be disappointed. read more

Rika was a whole vibe! We came in, sat down and ordered water and an Arnold Palmer. The drinks came quick and were refilled even quicker. The music was great! I had the shrimp basket w/ seasonal veggies and bae had the Bankhead Platter w/ the catfish and a side of mac and cheese. The food was so good. Everything was so fresh and delicious and I ended up having enough shrimp for leftovers the next day. Will definitely be back again. read more

Service was exceptional and portions are large, but the food arrived luke warm food, and they had FOX News streaming at the bar. They make parties of two sit at the tiny hightop tables. We sat at the bar instead. A teen walked up on me in parking lot like he was up to no good, then suddenly turned when he saw a another car pull up. Typical Bankhead drama. read more
