    The Inside

    While driving back to Florida from Alabama we happen to see a sign for David's Catfish House and decided to stop and give it a try. Right away we could tell that it was a popular spot. Since it was an unplanned stop we did take out. The food was really good. I must give a special mention for the cole slaw which was delicious. The staff definitely gave that southern hospitality. :-)

    Welcoming place, clean, hostess very nice. The seafood gumbo so so robust with flavor and nice kick not overpowering. Good hush puppies(2) with dish. Wow!! I'm stuffed. Shrimp with lemon pepper, perhaps little ease on pepper, but good. Overall nice , yes good place to eat and mist try cup of gumbo. Coleslaw was very good in flavor, but the texture is like eating soggy cereal or bran flakes. They have 2 other side dinning areas.

    best coleslaw ever.

    FOOD -good catfish, albeit a tad bit salty -best coleslaw I've ever tasted in my life -my companion said the shrimp was nothing to write home about. I agree they had a funny taste -first time ever trying fried green tomatoes. they were piping hot, with delicious crust. for some reason, I didn't expect the tomatoes to be tangy. I'd eat them again. SERVICE -seated very promptly -attentive service -waitress brought us dirty, greasy plates to eat our tomatoes off of. when I pointed out that they were dirty, she said "oh yea, I saw that." and promptly took them away and brought clean replacements. (????)

    Good food, don't order wine. The gumbo was the best I have had since leaving Baton Rouge. Had Cajun grilled shrimp- very good.

    I heard lots of good things about this place and I had to try it. What initially intrigued me was…read morethe crab claws, I was kravin' some I asked the host the seat me somewhere I can watch the Seahawks vs 49ers game. He said, pick and choose. My waitress was a very extroverted personality, easy going and socialable. Her name is Lauren (hope I spelled that correctly) But I asked for some recommendations on various things. She gave me her honest opinion about it. Which I appreciates. Most people would try to gaslight/upsell she didn't. I end up getting the pick 3. Grilled crabcake, grilled crab claws and blackened suwait fish. As I waited I observed the decor, it was your standard marina style. Nothing crazy. I got my food in a decent time frame. But wow the food tasted amazing! Everything was so flavorful, I devoured the entire plate. Nothing left but garnishment! However the gumbo was good, not great. Before I left, it was halftime and the Seahawks was dominating the game! Overall, I would comeback, thanks again Lauren for excellent customer service!

    Been there a few times. I know they are a local favorite, but I am not a fan. I don't like hot…read morefood served in styrofoam (my biggest issue). The food is pretty much all deep fried. Not impressed with the amount of imported fish, either. We're on the Gulf Coast, use local fishermen. Service was always mediocre at best as well.

Our query for a seafood restaurant led us here, and at first glance almost decided to leave. The seating was minimal and we had to walk up to the counter to order. While waiting, we realized it is primarily a seafood market and take-out orders for cooked food were the main business. But the reviews were great, so we gave it a try. We were amazed at the quality and quantity of food we got. An order of crab claws and shrimp came with over 40 claws and about ten shrimp, all fried to perfection with the best tasting breading ever! The atmosphere was like old time New Orleans, on the wrong side of the tracks. But relax your snobbish standards a bit, and enjoy your seafood the way it is meant to be served!

    Your food might be good but them little girls attitudes have ruined my appetite!…read more You both should be fired!!!! But you won't be because that's how it is these days, you can treat people like crap and there is no accountability for YOUR actions in the business world! Shame on the owners of this establishment for hiring people just to have bodies fill your space! The Seafood House has gotten a lot my money from me over the years and today you didn't cash in nor will you see any of it ever again! Little lady with the red hair and your rude attitude who doesn't know what real customer service is about with your sense of entitlement issues! Your first mistake was thinking my phone number was yours to have and then to make a point that you will "just get it off of caller ID and then you hang up the phone." Not only that, your eye roll, then you thought you are to good at what you do to get in trouble by your manager was an epic performance from you and the the little girl who is a so called "manager." You both need to be properly educated on how proper customer service should be performed cause girl, today wasn't your day! You and your manager of The Seafood House just got yourselves a real review on social media! Check your "so called" employees and teach them how to treat customers with dignity and respect.

    The good is worth the wait. It's a small but cozy footprint inside with typical beach decor, but…read moredon't let that dissuade you. Once inside you order at the counter and the time you wait is minimal compared to the amount of people inside, the service was excellent start to finish! I can see why this is constantly rated one of the best fish houses as every thing was perfectly cooked and flavored. We had a group of ten and everything was correct, a nice change of pace from other recent experiences. The Bang Bang Shrimp stood out to me most of all but everyone was pleased with their food.

    Scooter's Fish House must be good if it has a line out the door, right?…read more We visited with a party of 10 and ordered a little bit of everything: bang bang shrimp, grilled shrimp, fried swordfish, fries, coleslaw, hush puppies, and chargrilled oysters. Once you place your order at the window, you're handed a drink cup and sent into the chaos of finding a table. The place stays busy, and with the crowd, TVs, and constant activity, it can get pretty loud. If you're hoping to have an easy conversation with your group during dinner, be prepared to compete with the noise. That said, the atmosphere is fun. The restaurant is full of local character, plenty of decorations, and enough going on to keep things interesting while you wait for your food. The food came out hot and fresh from the kitchen window. The chargrilled oysters were the highlight of the meal--piping hot, perfectly cooked, and served with fresh lemon. Everything else was solid and exactly what you'd expect from a casual seafood spot, but nothing really stood out as memorable. Overall, Scooter's is a good place to grab seafood if you're already in the area. The oysters are worth ordering, the atmosphere is lively, and the food is consistently decent. Just don't expect a meal that's worth making a special trip for. TL;DR: Good food, great oysters, fun atmosphere--but not quite destination-worthy.
