Scallop
Kit T.

Nice atmosphere good food. Loved the dip and mocktail. The service was also pleasant. However the rice & beans was on the saltier side.

Great outdoor seating
Dennis T.

Back in Waco this past weekend with the boys. Went to Fish City Grill for lunch. The weather was beautiful so we decided to sit outside for lunch. As you can see very nice outdoor seating, with nice view. Was greeted by Kailah, she was very attentive and friendly. My wife and I split the Sea Bass, was large entree to share. Served with potatoes and green beans that were seasoned and cooked nicely. Kyle had the lobster and shrimp cheese grits, surprisingly very tasty. Has a great experience, would totally recommend if you are looking for good seafood.

Combo with broccolini and spinach
Susan D.

We were served at the bar by Jose. He was so friendly and helpful. He stayed busy behind the bar and kept up conversations with several diners while providing excellent service When he found out this was our first visit he provided us home made potato chip with smoked trout. It was the perfect start. I ordered the half order of catfish. The fish was huge. It was perfectly fried with a nice crunch My hubby ordered the combo plate with cod and shrimp. He subbed wilted spinach and broccolini for the sides He was a fan of the fish and shrimp. The spinach was really tasty We finished with an in house made bread pudding with a whiskey pecan sauce. It was the best I ever tasted

Shrimp and scallops
Garret F.

Overall we enjoyed our meal. Nothing special and nothing bad. Service was attentive and helpful. Scallops were cooked perfect, shrimp was a little salty and overdone. Crab cake was tasty. I wasn't a fan of the plastic ramekins for the price we paid and it didn't do justice for your attempt plate nicely.

"Nomijto" or a non-alcoholic mojito.

Haven't been to this location before. We really like Fish City and this location did not disappoint. Clean, quality service and quality food. For the first time ever, I tried a non-fish dish and went with their roast beef. It was excellent. Just like Grandma used to make. Amazing thin onion rings on top of a large portion of fork tender roast with mashed potatoes and a few carrots. Amazing flavor and portion. My wife had the seared ahi tuna tacos. They were cooked perfectly with a nice citrus flavor and came why Cuban beans and rice (think dirty rice). Service by Ty was excellent. I highly recommend this location. The non-alcohol mojito was excellent and the golden margarita was amazing with a slight hint of orange.

Wow what a great discovery. Plenty of choices on the menu and I wasn't sure if I should get the gumbo or the New England clam chowder and a waitress offered me a sample of both being in Texas. I normally would go for the gumbo, but the New England clam chowder tasted really great. I then had the grilled oysters which were very tasty and ended the evening with a really large serving of a Caesar salad I plan to go the next time. I'm back in town.

Pot roast
Darcy M.

Amazing sandwich, amazing service, and a fun vibe. I'll be the first to say I'm not a seafood fan and only came here for my family. Often I find land food always tastes disgusting at mainly seafood type restaurants but my expectations were blown away. I had the most delicious chicken sandwich with pesto aoli. I was so happy with my land food in a group of seafood eaters.

Fish & Chips
Rigo M.

First time here and walked into a very peaceful and upbeat restaurant. Fish and chips were excellent and flavorful. Wait staff were very friendly and helpful since this was my first time here. They have very large chalkboard menu that is their daily special so make sure to check that out before ordering from the restaurant menu.

We have been here twice before & it was good! Today we had a Christmas gift card and chose to use it for this restaurant. From the server to the food it was not good. The outside patio is nice to look at the water. But I had crab and potato and corn on my mind & my hubby had scallops. His was good. I got my crab but had to keep asking for the potatoes. The server finally brought them & it was 2 tiny red potatoes drenched in butter. Then she proceeded to tell me they had no corn. I was very disappointed that I was not told until after I got my crab with zero side dishes for about 15 minutes. Then I got some zucchini and carrots again drenched butter. I still got zero sides because I couldn't eat them. The crab was just ok. The server was friendly but did not do what she should've done as a server. The manager apologized. But I'm just unhappy and won't be back unfortunately.

Seafood platter

Wait staff were very friendly and efficient. My waitress gave me a great suggestion on how to prepare the various items on my platter, the fish, shrimp and oysters were prepared expertly! The restaurant was well lighted and clean. I would recommend this place for a nice evening out as well as a great way to end a long workday!!

The ambiance is nice, there is a louder sports section with tv's and a projector and then to the side you can find some quiet booths. Definitely want to come back in on a Sunday for the roast.

I…read morealways forgot this place was here, it's super convenient to us but the location was easily forgettable as it wasn't really visible from 79. Ticked away in a little complex without 79 visibility along with a couple of other places that don't seem to get much traffic either. Finally made our first visit so we could try "the best fish & chips" in the Austin area. I was surprised how big it was, they have a patio, a bar area and lots of tables I was shocked as from the outside it looks tiny. Service was fantastic which was shocking with them closing soon. The service was enough to want me to go back hopefully for us in this area they end up somewhere close by as I know how hard it is to find good workers. Pretzels were good! Onion rings were our favorite! Their version of the Philly was just okay, was very plain with not much flavor hubby didn't even finish half. But the star of the show was the fish and chips. My son was over the moon! Couldn't even finish half of it and he wanted to haha. Sad to see they will be closing their doors but hopefully the owner has something else up his sleeve as they were onto something with this place.

I have been wanting to come here for years so you can imagine my excitement when I called to make…read morereservations about a month in advance and they were able to fit our large party in! They have a designated parking lot making it super easy to visit here. They brought us to our table right away, which was this beautiful large family table set in its own alcove, so it felt very special and away from the main hustle and bustle of the restaurant. The vibe was like a modern upgraded diner. I had struggled deciding between going at brunch time or for the dinner menu, but I am super happy that we decided to do brunch because we got to enjoy the famous Jo's Buttermilk Biscuits with the flight of butters. All of the butter was great, but I especially loved the blackberry butter. The biscuits were so good though, that you didn't even need butter at all, they were just so light and fluffy. Not dry like your typical biscuit that you'd get at any other restaurant! For the main meal, I picked the crunchy French toast, which was perfectly crispy on the outside but nice and custardy on the inside. I love the use of the cornflake cereal on the outside, I don't think I can go back to any regular French toast after that! They have some seasonal drinks available, so make sure you ask your server. On our particular visit, we tried the 1905 latte which had a toasted marshmallow syrup inside and surprisingly was not too sweet despite being marshmallow. The restaurant is connected to the little merch area/market where you can buy a lot of of the Magnolia merch if you can't make it over to the Silos. The decor and feel inside is so beautiful, as expected if you're familiar with Joanna's work! What a treat to be able to visit here and may they last for a long time!

I was disappointed with our experience. We were seated at a table where the bench seat had a large…read morecrack, making it very uncomfortable to sit. On top of that, the air conditioning vent was blowing directly onto our table the entire time. After being seated, we watched several employees standing around chatting while we waited nearly 10 minutes for anyone to acknowledge us. No one greeted us, offered coffee or water, or even said hello. Eventually, our server arrived, and she was wonderful and very friendly. I ordered the Kind Breakfast, and my husband ordered the breakfast tacos. The presentation was beautiful, and the food looked delicious. Unfortunately, both of our meals were served cold. My eggs, bacon, and toast were all cold. Thankfully, my plate included a fresh salad and tomatoes, which tasted great because they were meant to be served cold. Overall, it felt like the focus was more on being a popular tourist destination than on providing attentive service and ensuring the food was served at the proper temperature. I had expected a much better experience.
