If you're in the mood for some amazing fish dishes, head this way immediately! My first time here, will definitely be back. My server Paul was super friendly and very attentive, I never had to ask for anything! The dining area is spacious, there are tvs above the bar, the volume of the place was a bit loud but didn't bother me. The salmon dish I had was absolutely divine. The salmon was cooked perfectly, the spinach was fresh and not over cooked and the mashed potatoes were fluffy and delicious. I visited around 4pm and there was already a nice crowd, but there wasn't a wait. I see this is place having a wait in the evening though. The tables can be expanded so this is a good place for groups as well! The kitchen manager even came out to ask me how my visit was and that really tells you a lot about this place. They really want to make sure you enjoy your time. The prices may be on the high side for some but I believe the quality of the food and the service merits the price. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and will definitely be back! read more

Yum yum yum yum yum!!!! I finally decided to try Fish City Grill and realized I've been missing out! I went in on a Sunday afternoon. Not too many people there at the time so I was served immediately. I sat at the bar while I waited and scanned the atmosphere. This place has a fresh and clean ambiance...somewhat airy. I really liked the feel of it. I ordered the two piece combo which I selected fried catfish and cod fillets along with coleslaw and Cuban beans and rice. EVERYTHING was delicious! I particularly loved the coleslaw. Not your traditional coleslaw with mayo but with apple cider vinegar. I plan on going back to patron again and try their cocktails. Great place read more

This place was very so-so. The fish sandwich tasted exactly like the filet o fish from McDs!! And the coleslaw they serve is terrible! The catfish was also no big deal! It's like this place is scared of seasoning!! My server was very polite, but couldn't recommended anything. Now I know why. You'll overspend at this spot for both food and drinks for lackluster flavor and ambience. Avoid this place and go to any other seafood spot in the city! read more

Excellent food and service! The staff had just received an unexpected meeting of almost 20ppl. Everyone was a little stressed but our service was outstanding! read more

I really enjoyed the fish sandwich and the shrimp cocktail! The service was fast and our waitress was really nice.

All of the food items are VERY large here. We had great service on our last visit, and couldn't have been more pleased. If you are looking for a seafood joint, this is the place to go. They have a good variety of options, and also some land lubber options. The fish tacos ($18) are good, but I would describe them as fish burritos since all the tasty contents are wrapped in a flour tortilla, and then toasted a bit, like a burrito. The serving size is GINORMOUS! Plenty of food for two people, and I'm not exaggerating. It comes with rice and black beans, but you should spice it up a bit with their tabasco sauce. The Fishwich ($15.50) was also ginormous. The fish overflowed out of the toasty hamburger bun it was served on. The fish (cod) on the sandwich and the fish tacos were cooked perfectly - a crispy coating, while keeping the inside flaky, but not dry. However, there could be a little more seasoning or zip added to each entrée. Things were just a bit bland. I'm looking forward to trying out their patio when the weather is just a little cooler. read more

While visiting San Antonio, my son suggested we try Fish City Grill, and I'm so glad we did! The food was absolutely amazing, fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Our waitress was super friendly and made some great recommendations that didn't disappoint. We tried the shrimp and lobster queso with chips, and it was delicious, creamy, rich, and packed with seafood flavor. Definitely something we'll be ordering again next time. The restaurant itself is a nice size with both indoor and outdoor seating. The tables are spaced comfortably, and the atmosphere feels relaxed and welcoming. Overall, this was a great dining experience, we'll definitely be back! read more

Amazing happy hour. Specials seem to change daily. I've never had a bad meal here. Service is always excellent.

First time trying this restaurant and I'm happy we did. We ordered the seafood platter and catfish and oysters. Everything tasted fresh and cooked perfectly. Our waiter Cedric was very helpful and made some good recommendations. I would have given 5 stars but the mashed potatoes were dry. The atmosphere was nice and simple. We will definitely try this place again read more

13 Nov 2024 We really wanted to love this place. The other Yelpers have given this place an average of 4.6 stars. I had the stuffed flounder. I pictured a nice filet split down the middle and stuffed with the scallop/shrimp mixture. It turned out to be something like a small burrito. The flounder was very thin, I must have missed the shrimp and the scallops were huge. I wished they would have been cut into smaller pieces. I used my knife to cut them down. The dish came with the lime rice and julienne vegetables. Rice and veggies were good. The fish lacked flavor. The husband went for one of the items on the chalkboard - redfish with Thanksgiving oyster stuffing. No other sides. He did not especially care for it. We had some tasty iced tea. The sweet is very sweet. My half and half tea was still very sweet. We started with cups of clam chowder. Quite tasty. Plenty of clams. They were out of gumbo, which sounded good in its description. Maybe the fried food is better than what we had. The place is pretty. It used to be a BurgerFi. There is outside seating. We sat inside. Our server Rocky, is dynamite. Friendly, upbeat and there when you need him. read more

Fish City Grill - Nov 2024 stuffed flounder - Seafood Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Fish City Grill is a high quality neighborhood restaurant with healthy seafood meals. There are multiple locations around the city, and we're thankful that there is now one close to us. The interior is bright and casual with a midcentury modern look. The friendly staff provide table service but it feels informal, not stuffy. The chalkboard is a great way to find out about specials and seasonal dishes. The menu is eclectic, with Mediterranean, Cajun, Mexican, and Asian influences -- plus fish and chips. The menu had lots of choices for healthy eating, such as high protein meals with plenty of vegetables on the side. We expect that Fish City Grill will become one of our frequent neighborhood places to eat and relax. read more

New hot spot alert! This place is popping with delicious sea food. They have other non-sea food items but that is their speciality. The cocktails drinks were delicious! They have items that are seasonal on a chalk board menu. Our server didn't make a couple of recommendations to us, especially since some items are seasonal. Overall, the service was decent for it being a new restaurant. We did have to wait longer than 30 minutes for our food, but we were grateful that they brought out the kids food before. That helps keep them calm. I don't know if this should be on here, but do use caution when going to the bathroom because the water was so hot to wash your hands. It was nice that at the end of our service they gave us 20% off coupon on your next meal. We will definitely be visiting again. read more

This is an awesome restaurant. The location at 281 and 1604 by the HEB is smallish making it feel cozy. Every on was so nice. The food is great. They have wonderful gluten free items which I very much appreciated. I had their delicious salad for starters and it was so big I shared it with my husband. Red beans and rice with sausage also gf. Thanks again for the awesome experience. read more

Seafoods platter was awesome! The fried catfish, oysters, and shrimp were on point. Also had the scallops & bacon wrap shrimp, it was pretty good.

Where to begin? We were visiting San Antonio and looking for local, yummy places to eat. We love food, and our 5 year old daughter is a foodie, too! We headed in to Fish City Grill on a Monday evening around 7:30. First off, the restaurant is beautiful! You can tell they really took time to tie in all the details, it is very clean, and a great vibe, too. Our waiter, River, was awesome! He quickly took our orders of fish n' chips, crab bisque, and spicy chipotle blue cheese fried shrimp- and made sure our drinks were never empty. Everything came out fresh, piping hot, and smelling delish! We LOVED everything. The fish had the right amount of breading that was fried to perfection. The crab bisque was flavorful with many chunks of sweet crab. Our daughter GOBBLED the bisque and declared this to be "the best feast ever" - high praise from a seafood lover! The shrimp were unepected and really good, too. I like spice and this was flavorful and an interesting (in a good way!) combination of chipotle, blue cheese, and tender shrimp. The price point was great, parking was easy, delicious food, wonderful ambiance and service- just a perfect dinner overall! If we ever have the opportunity to be in San Antonio again, we will definitely return! read more

Weekday lunch! We were promptly seated and our server was at our table quickly for greeting ls and drink orders. We were new to the restaurant and she surprised us with a welcome sampler of their 4 soups and fried oyster mini tostadas. Very nice idea and soups and oyster were excellent. We had EXCELLENT clam chowder and grilled fish sandwich (haddock) and fish and chips. All great and F&C was a large order of fish! Shout out to our server Kit!!! We'll be back! read more

First time diner at Fish City Grill in Alamo Heights. Our group of 20+ women thoroughly enjoyed the restaurant's hospitality, delicious fresh seafood, and fantastic service. Fish City was well prepared for our arrival and was most generous with tantalizing appetizers. We certainly will return! read more

Wow!! How have I missed this little gem!! Had a craving for some kind of fish This popped up.. WOW!! Is all I can say! We have never been here. Because we hadn't been, for first timers, you get a sample plate of their soups .. let me tell you !! Their chefs are legit!! I had their salmon off the hook! Treat yourself! Support local businesses!! You WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!! Michael was our server, top notch! Enjoy!! read more

Nice atmosphere.... Bartenders are nice and manager was very nice .. Crawfish- not good Boiled shrimp- decent Snow crab- a joke! No cluster just pieces of tiny legs ! Explanation- ran out but will give discount! Umm how about just say we are OUT! Gumbo- limited meat and room temperature! Needs to have more meat at least hot enough to have to blow to cool off! Especially with roux based gumbo! I've tried three Fish City locations and the one down on 281 is by far the best in San Antonio! I'm a person that travels for a living for work and dine out 5 times a week! Overall- give this place a try ! Or should I say this location! read more

Had high expectations with the overall great reviews. Maybe I hit a bad night but food and service were disappointing. Or maybe nobody around here has had good seafood. Had charbroiled oysters followed by blackened catfish with shrimp. It all literally smelled like burnt hair. Empty seats were filled with dirty dishes throughout my dining "experience ". Wouldn't recommend. read more

Incredible meal from start to finish! The staff was so welcoming, and since it was my first time, they offered me a sample of their smoked fish dip, which was fantastic. I ordered the salmon, and it was cooked perfectly--flaky, moist, and so fresh with no fishy taste. The addition of fresh garlic chunks and spinach was delicious. The ambiance and service were also top-notch. This is a small business that truly cares about its customers. I will definitely be returning soon! read more

This used to be a great place. Now they keep taking the most popular items off the menu (jalapeño soup for example) and serving trash fish now like branzino. Ruining a great restaurant trying to cut costs. Greed destroys things. PS last time I was there -everything tasted like it had preservatives or chemicals on it. read more

First time trying Fish City Grill. Will not be the last. We dined at their location near Alamo Heights in San Antonio, TX. Very nice interior with an outdoor dining area as well. The food was awesome from the gumbo, the dirty rice, the red beans and rice, and the two fish dishes we tried. I would say one of the top 3 gumbos, dirty rice, and red beans I've ever tried. Glad they have a location in Lakeland, FL since we live in Orlando. I'm taking a bread pudding back to my hotel to hopefully be able to add that to my list of excellent food. I'm a big bread pudding fanatic. The only thing better than the food was Sam, who was an amazing host. Try it, you'll love it read more

Ordered 100$ of gumbo for delivery an nothing but broth no meat no okra nothing. An would not refund me.

Sam was a fabulous and wonderful waitress. Knew when to come to the table. Food was delicious and hot!!! Sat outside and enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. read more

The family has eaten here twice now and the second time proved that the first was no fluke. The food was great and the service was exceptional. I have had the lobster and shrimp grilled cheese (pretty good) and the blackened redfish (great). My wife had the scallops on the recent trip and raved about them. My kids got the "damn good bacon cheeseburger" (actually really good for a fish place) and have also had fish and chips which got the thumbs up. Fried pickles were ordered as an app both times. What brought us back so quickly was the service. There was a very small issue with an order the first occasion (not enough of an issue for us to point out), but our server, Sami, noticed and let us know that was not acceptable and made our overall experience that much better. We'll be back as there are many menu items I am looking to try! read more

We go to one fish city or another every weekend but won't be going very much going further. They have redone the menu and it's ridiculous. They have taken off atleast 5 things I usually eat, portions have shrunk tremendously, prices have hiked and overall the service isn't that great. There are a few servers we really enjoy but they are few and far between. Also the menu seems to be leaning towards a bar atmosphere not making it that family friendly which I also think is a huge mistake. All and all I think you're making a huge mistake with this new concept. read more

Took a chance on Fish City Grill and came away very impressed. The service was outstanding and they took excellent care of us while dining. The atmosphere of the restaurant is great with an intimate feeling, but not being overly stuffy or loud. As for the food, they have a wide selection of great options, including the fried oyster mini tostadas, chowder and fish sandwich. The chowder was especially good and I highly recommend getting some! read more

Good lunch with excellent service. Upscale, simple, modern decor with nice feel. The server, Kit, was superb - 5+ stars there. The Jumbo Lump Crab Cake was just that - tasty jumbo lump crab. The Shrimp Po' Boy was alright; however, not exactly a 'Nawlins' Po' Boy even though advertised as being served on Gambino's French bread. read more

I would highly recommend fish city for a casual evening. It has a very clean and nice atmosphere. They offer an arrange of seafood dishes. They have crab legs, specialty seafoods entrees and gourmet chowders. We love this place, wonderful price point, I will definitely be visiting again soon. Servers are welcoming and knowledgeable of the menu. If you like beer or cocktails they offer those things as well! read more
