Came for a late lunch on a weekday after browsing for restaurants in this area. We were seated immediately and waited on quickly. The waitperson, Kevin, was very helpful and made some recommendations which turned out to be great! I had the special, which was blackened redfish with a couple of shrimp, an incredible butter sauce over creamy parmesan rice. It was amazing and I ate every drop (wishing I had some good crusty bread to sop of the leftover butter sauce). It came with green beans which were obviously fresh and well-seasoned. They were a little too crisp, so didn't finish those. DH had a shrimp and scallop dish that he absolutely loved. He said the scallops were amazing and cooked perfectly. He sopped up every bit of that, too. Really liked this place and wish it was closer to us, but we'll be sure and make our way back soon! read more

I love Fish City. The food is always fresh and delicious. The oyster nachos are a Must! They are fabulous and mouth watering. I also love the battered haddock. The service and team are always great, welcoming and accommodating! I highly recommend. Delicious! read more

Lively bustling but still able to visit easily. Redfish from the board was outstanding. My friend raved about her salmon. Server attentive at just the right times. read more

Amazing experience at Fish City! Only had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. Our server was amazing and the food came out very fast. It was my first time here and they gave me a sampler plate including the best jalapeño soup I've ever had! Very cute date vibes but also perfect for family dinner. Had intimate seating as well as group seating with plenty of lighting! Definitely recommend if you are in the mode for fish and want to try something new and fresh! read more

Great quick service! My dad got the gumbo! I got the honey chipotle shrimp tacos! It was outstanding!

My review is for the facility at Walnut Hill and Skillman. This is my favorite restaurant because of so many reasons. Every person on the wait staff is outstanding, friendly, caring about your satisfaction with the food, and very knowledgeable about the changing menu listed on the chalk board. The management is top quality and takes the time to visit with the customers whenever possible. The bartenders are well trained and, for example, I like my margaritas made a certain way that includes olives forward and set over the salted rim. Every time I've come there, they always remember that. It makes me feel very "special" as I'm sure all of their customers must feel because they really care. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. read more

Everything was delicious, from the fish and chips to the beer battered shrimp and the servers are very nice and courteous. Great atmosphere!!! read more

What a great experience! Our kids were at a meeting nearby so we stopped in for a quick drink and a snack. Fortunately we found the last two spots at the bar. The bartender was very helpful in drink selection and food recommendation. On top of that, when she found out we were first-time customers, she brought us a sampler of their four soups and two oyster nachos. Our favorites were the calamari and the crab bisque. The food was outstanding and so was the service; we will definitely be back. read more

Good service and great seafood food. Plenty of ambience! Every time we are welcomed back.

The kale salmon salad was perfect with perfectly cooked fish and dressing light so other flavors could be tasted. Service was attentive without being pushy. Music was background so conversations could be had without shouting. read more

We usually frequent a different location but this will definitely be our Fish City Grill from here on out! It looks so small from the front entrance but you walk in and it is pretty good sized. The bar is very large and everything feels open. The bartender Lanita was so kind and helpful. She convinced us to try one of the menu board items and we were happy with everything from drinks to good and especially the service! read more

Hello. Today was my very first first time visiting here. The fish and chips were amazing!!! My food was hot, tasty and delicious!! My server Kevin was awesome! Very informative and polite. Very tentative to both my guest and myself. We were both sitting there long after we were done thinking of family and friends to invite to eat with us because we surely will be back! Also, Manager Jessi came over and talked with us and she too was very nice and friendly. We will definitely be visiting again real soon. Thank you so much. Chef Renee read more

Service was great. I got the crab stuffed flounder. It was delicious. The lobster grilled cheese is amazing. It was oooey gooey. The bread was crunchy. Definitely try it. We also ordered a few oysters. They tasted very fresh but were a bit tiny. We went on a sat around 5 to beat the crowd. Glad we did by the time we left at 6:30 place was packed. read more

In the past, I felt I probably should write a review based on multiple visits, but upon my latest one to give this place one last chance, I am compelled to type. Good news: 1. Service: attentive, punctual, and courteous. 5 stars. 2. (Food-wise) the Jalapeño Soup is just spicy enough not to burn most diners' palettes. Flavorful, but, personally, I need more spice. Personal preference only. Bad news (on my latest visit): 1. This place continually smells "fishy"/"seafoody". Even a seafood-based restaurant should not emit a cavalcade of seafood wafts when one walks in the door. That tells me one thing: certain items are not particularly fresh. 2. Never order "specials." This is a general rule when dining at most restaurants, as they are typically loaded with product the restaurant is trying to unload (pronto). But something is terribly wrong here. I ordered something that I felt should not suck: "Fried Buffalo Cauliflower." Texture? None. I ate one piece -- strike that -- I swallowed one piece without even chewing, because no mastication was needed. FRY YOUR FOOD! 3. Stepping out of my comfort zone this time, I ordered pedestrian fish tacos -- I never order tacos at a restaurant as a general rule, unless I know the chef can execute them properly -- because every other fish-based dish I've tried here previously (without breading, a tortilla, or the like) I've ordered has been awful. These things were not as advertised. A) The portion size was far too large (gargantuan) for one person such that the waitress immediately asked me if I'd like a to-go box upon presentation; B) the fish, much like the cauliflower previously mentioned, was supposed to be crispy (and was not); and C) the "spicy cabbage" was sweet, as well as the sauce served with it. I don't want dessert for my main. Sorry. HOWEVER, I will say that the food came out very quickly. Is that a good thing? One might think, 'Oh, how fast!' 'Wonderful!' NO. This drivel was assembled far, far in advanced, microwaved to a mediocre temp, and served. Trash. 'Do you want a to-box?', I was asked again. Only a fool would have said yes. I'm finished with this mini-franchise, regardless of locations. I was dragged into this latest foray only because I was hog-tied, against my adamant objections. I had to eat something, hungry, after all at the culmination of a day (in the end, just the soup, one piece of cauliflower, and 1/8th of a piece of taco in my latest visit). I've tried many other dishes when dragged into these places, and have always left feeling, well, this isn't "Fish City" -- it's Fish Sh*tty (pardon my censored "French"). Those out there who know French know the "M" word I would have used. I will not patronize any location again. I've tried and tried to like this local-medium-ish franchise, but...too many strikes over time. You're out. At least I didn't give this review one star so as to consider this review as spam. Find a better seafood spot in your locale -- there are plenty. read more

Always great food and service! Kevin always remembers us and knows our order! We always ask for him.

Ok this place is amazing! Same price as Red Lobster with higher quality food. Let's start with the Rainbow Trout full of flavor can with spinach and rice. A plate full of blackened trout. It's gone! I ordered the scallops and jumbo shrimp. It's gone! The flavors melted in my mouth. Jumbo shrimp wrapped in apple wood bacon oh my Lord. The drinks so good twisted citrus martini and I slurped and sipped in minutes! It's gone! We ordered key lime pie to creamy! Finally the service with Carla she was so sweet and our food was delivered hot. She kept our drinks full. I will definitely ask for her when I come back. read more

A friend and I came here for lunch. We made reservations ahead of time, and I'm glad we did! It was a random weekday, but this place was packed. Once we got seated, our server came to explain the specials. The service was really great--everyone was very friendly and informative throughout the meal. We ordered some oyster nachos to start (per recommendation from our server), and I got a maple grilled salmon with brussels sprouts (one of their specials) for my entree. The oyster nachos were delicious! I'm not normally an oyster-lover, but the deep fried oysters that came on this dish were perfectly crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. My salmon was pretty good. It was cooked perfectly, but the dish as a whole was a little too sweet, especially with the corn pudding underneath. The brussels did not disappoint. Overall, great atmosphere, great service, and tasty food! read more

Had takeout. Shrimp po boy was delicious. Little tasty fried shrimp in there with a decent mix of pickles and onions. Hush puppies on the side were decent as well. read more

This place is really good, but the real reason to come here is the oyster nachos, they're AMAZING. The oysters have such a unique breading and are super tender. They're topped with a pico and some kind of spicy,creamy, chili sauce. I ordered the seafood sampler platter with the blackened catfish, grilled shrimp, grilled oysters, and I subbed for garlic wilted spinach and seasonal vegetables. So first off, I've never had a grilled oyster, but I'll be back for them for sure. They're so very flavorful and shockingly not chewy. Of course, the shrimp were great bc it's pretty hard to mess up grilled shrimp, and the backend catfish was very flavorful and moist. I love this place, I love the service. I do know that sometimes there is a pretty long wait to be seated, but the food (especially the oyster nachos) are worth it. *shoutout to Marshall, great waiter, very on top of it and friendly. read more

Boy, what a treat to be back, post-tornado! Loved the Snapper and Etouffe specials. Conner was the BEST!! read more

OMG, I am doing a second review on The Newly Rebuilt Fish City Grill. After the Tornado a few years ago, it was totally destroyed the entire Place. So Sunday, I meet my Son and Hubby for a Birthday outing. The place is Beautiful and we got a warm welcome. The food was great. The presentation was on point. The all new Staff was very kind. We ate and enjoyed it all. So my hubby love bread pudding. So he ordered it to go. I am not a bread pudding fan. He said it need a little work. It was a bit too thick and needed fruit or raisins. Not his favorite. Sorry! Everything else was OK! One Love!! read more

The second night RE- open i had fish and chips at this neighborhood restaurant . Lots of people coming in were expressing how happy they are to have the restaurant open again (after the tornado destruction had closed it).

I had ask a wholesale fish salesman for recommendation of best fried fish and this is the place! I enjoyed it and will come back for more menu temptations! read more

We had blackened catfish that came with veggies, rice and hush puppies. Absolutely delish!! My friend had a kale salad with salmon. She loved it. The fish is always super fresh and perfectly cooked. Their frozen margaritas ($5) are the bomb!! Not only is the food awesome, but so is the service. Mike waited on us and he was on top of his game. He was very attentive, courteous and fun!!

We went to Fish City Grill tonight for dinner. We went early so we were seated pretty quickly. It's a casual atmosphere located in a shopping strip with plenty of parking. Our server, Marissa, was fabulous and knowledgeable. We had lots of questions since it was our first visit. The food was absolutely delicious! We ordered appetizers, entrees and desserts. The crab bisque and roasted jalapeño soup was creamy and delicious. The oyster nachos looked amazing and my friend reported they were out of this world. I highly recommend the fish tacos but ask for extra sauce! Delicious. The shrimp and grits looks beautiful and my friend reports it was tasty. For dessert - try any of the following because they were all the perfect final course: Bread Pudding, Apple Cake and my personal favorite Peach Cobbler! We will definitely return! read more

Very Mid, don't believe the hype. I got a seafood boil and crawfish, they didn't give me my crab legs. The seafood barely had seasoning and it was bland to be honest.
