    Mermaid Oysters
    Elizabeth H.

    When you go on a business trip and forget that it's St. Patty's Day, oooooooofff! Lolol After a long day's travel, I made it to Waxahachie and was in dire need of a good meal. Yelp brought me to Fish City Grill. I happily arrived to a confusingly full parking lot at 5:30pm. To then see everyone in green shirts. Fortunately, I was able to grab a single seat at the bar. The bartender was attentive and conversational. Got my signature dinner drink order in- a dirty Sapphire martini. And it was weird??! Confusing flavors. Vermouth heavy and slightly sweet. I started with 3 of the special Mystic Mermaid Oysters. These were fine. Clean. But too much oyster liquid remnant in sand. Did not have much flavor. Then decided on entree. The bartender was very helpful in recommendations towards the menu. I ordered that night's special. A blackened Redfish with crab sauce and shrimp, atop a parmesan rice and green beans. The blackening on this fish was hard seasoned- great. Cooked to flaky. Shrimp tasted Well. Same for the rice (not cheesy) and green beans. For the atmosphere and vibe in expectation walking into Fish City Grill, I give it 4 stars. For seafood entree and app overall I give it 3 stars. Drinks 2 stars. So will vet it out at a 3.5 star rating if I could. Recommended spot for an enjoyable meal in Waxahachie!!

    EVERY SINGLE THING WAS AMAZING! crawfish was so good nitro side of butter with side seasoning sprinkled in! The redfish and trout were also amazing but the char grilled oysters were the STAR OF THE SHOW we ordered 3 rounds of them! This place should have way higher rating

    We've been going to wherever this restaurant is in DFW several times a year for a long time. Mostly the Dallas area and Mansfield, so we were happy to see Fish City Grill join our community! They've been here over a year now and I must write my review! The first thing I want to mention is how exemplary the service has been every time we've been here. Stellar. Our every need met. Always gracious and flexible. The other standout was a welcome tasting appetizer platter that I hope they're still doing for first timers. Two Fried Oyster Nachos and sample cups of Gumbo, Clam Chowder, Crab Bisque and Roasted Jalapeño Soup. It is a remarkable intro to their flavors. They also have Happy Hour. The menu has probably changed; but the Shrimp and Crab Queso for $8, a full portion - well, don't deny yourself if you're a queso fan. I had some amazing Grilled Oysters during a Happy Hour. We don't drink, but hey, the food! Right? If you miss Happy Hour, any of the soups are wonderful and those Oyster Nachos. Our wait staff was lovely that first time and let us chill out for a little while before the entrees arrived after we consumed the introductory platter and then the queso. This place really hums. Get a booth if possible or sit outside on the gorgeous patio facing the pond and fountain. It's a little more quiet. Fish City Grill always has terrific chalkboard specials. Read them. Even ask your waiter if there's anything else. Then peruse the menu. It's hard to beat the quality or freshness of the seafood here. That's where being a multi-restaurant entity has its advantages. From Oysters to Crab Legs to Catfish to fish from Gulf. And they know how to cook what you want. A personal favorite of mine I've had here is the SHRIMP & CRAB STUFFED FLOUNDER with Caper dill beurre blanc, seasonal veggies, and lemon basil rice. ($21.99) It is so tender. My husband has been leaning towards the pasta lately, SHRIMP AND CHICKEN PENNE ALFREDO with Roasted basil tomatoes, cremini mushrooms, green onions, and Parmesan cheese ($17.99) which is amazing! We both like the SEAFOOD PLATTER Catfish, Shrimp & Oysters. ($23.99) A filet of catfish, with Shrimp and Oysters and cooked however you want. Perfect every time. I usually ask for fried seafood, and substitute for my fries. They let you pick a different vegetable, no charge. It's no mystery why we eat here. The food is outrageously good. True, we don't do it often, but it's always a good experience and they give back to Veteran's on Veteran's Day with $20 off the Veteran's meal. Thank you! We'll be back.

    The entrance!! Where I sat and waited for my order .. great specials !!

    I've become the TOGO queen due to my high levels of social anxiety!! This particular restaurant use to be a favorite of mines years ago when I use to attend school In the highlands in Arlington, and they were located there . If I wasn't there for my lunch break , then I would definitely stop by there after class before heading to one of the bars located in that shopping center. It had been some years since I last had the opportunity to eat at this restaurant, so when I learned that there was one in the city that i recently moved too. I couldn't wait to visit them again. In the past I would always get the fried oyster nachos . Only lately I've been on this fried catfish craving, and I have been trying to experience catfish all around the DFW!! So this time around I got the sampler, it came with fried catfish , fried oysters , fried shrimp , sautéed spinach and mashed potatoes!!! 9/10!!! The Food was fresh and yummy !! I didn't give a 10/10 due to the portion sizes , I personally feel that for the amount that I paid I should have received bigger portions.. it felt like I was having a kids lunchable lol!! The restaurant was busy and they had live TVs on , so many were enjoying the game . You can tell it's a popular spot that has a lot of regulars. The staff was friendly and attentive. Do I recommend? ABSOLUTELY!! despite the portion sizes . The food is delicious and the atmosphere was welcoming.

    Peeps. I like this location with the outdoor seating looking at their pond on a nice spring day. The blackened red snapper special with the Parmesan risotto went hard. Bre, my server, was very chill and attentive. They got me "hooked" for lunchtime for sure.

    I tried their fish sandwich with fries for lunch today, and everything was excellent. Our waiter was fantastic, the calamari was delicious, and we finished with a perfect key lime pie for dessert. They never disappoint!"

    I ordered the catfish. This was my first time trying catfish and it was good. Not my favorite fish, but glad I tried it. The tartar sauce was very good and fries delish! The Cole slaw was fine but not mayo based..I think maybe just had a vinegar in it..it was just okay for me. Overall I liked it, I would be back.

    The food was fantastic and delicious! I was completely full by the time the main course meals came out. My husband and I decided to sit out on the patio area, which was peaceful and beautiful. I think what would have set the tone even more is if they had music. Service was okay. My husband had to go in or ask other employees for items since our waitress wasn't anywhere to be seen. However, overall it is worth going and enjoying you time. We will be going back again!

    We were looking so forward to trying Fish City Grill and we really enjoyed the ambiance. The outdoor patio is really nice and open and comfortable. It was clean, the service was great. The weather was perfect early in the day for enjoying the patio. The music was on point too! On the other hand, the food left a lot to be desired. Specifically, my husband had the fried Cod, which was an added upgrade and it was not good. I ordered the seafood platter with fried oysters(yummy), grilled shrimp and blackened catfish. side of seasoned potatoes and it comes with french fries. The potatoes had zero flavor. They looked like they would because there was plenty of seasoning it seemed but i honestly cook better potatoes at home. At the end of the meal we spent almost $80 and were super disappointed. Our server was great, i cant remember his name but he did great. They do have specials that maybe would have been the way to go, or i know people that ask their server what they recommend or think is good. None the less i hope this place gets better, i don't think it has been opened too long.

    On Thursday, February 12, 2026, I was blessed to be able, to attend an luncheon meeting with some…read more individuals, that I met, at this really nice restaurant, with some delicious food and mouthwatering peach tea. Our waitress, was very nice and she made sure, that we all, had everything we needed to enjoy our meals. The food was cooked hot and ready to eat, that the wonderful waitress brought out to us Since, we were in the restaurant area that is used for meetings, there was no additional, music or any other talking, that was in the main restaurant dinning area, that interfered, with us in the luncheon meeting. The food is really good their, everyone enjoyed their food meal, that they ordered. I recommend, this restaurant and I will be returning.

    The food was excellent, but the atmosphere and service felt unusually heavy, which made the visit…read moreless enjoyable than it could have been. Food The entrées and sides were the highlight of the visit -- well‑prepared, flavorful, and worth the price. *Garlic Caper Salmon -- ***** ($22.00) Perfectly cooked, great balance of flavors. *Blackened Rainbow Trout -- ***** ($20.00) Seasoned well, cooked just right. *Iced Tea -- **** ($2.99) solid, nothing to complain about. *Banana Pudding -- **** ($8.00) Tasty, comforting dessert. *Bread Pudding -- *** ($9.00) Decent, but not as strong as the other dishes. *Service & Atmosphere This is where things fell short. The service felt detached, as if the waitress was distracted or simply going through the motions. The overall vibe in the restaurant -- felt unusually downcast, which affected the dining experience. *Would I Return? I would absolutely visit this franchise again, because the food is worth it. But returning to the Burleson location specifically is questionable based on the atmosphere and service during this visit.
