Had a taste for catfish and fries and went to this place after passing by it for years. The food was great, hot, and fresh prepared to exact order and the manager and waiters were very pleasant and friendly with quick service. Even at 9 PM, the mood in the restaurant was lively and active. They also had a good selection of beer and adult drinks, including some top shelf brands. I will be visiting this location more in the near future. If you have a seafood appetite, this is your place to visit as the menu is extensive! read more

We went here for dinner on a Saturday and had an excellent experience. The restaurant's food is consistently good and this time was no exception. The wife had the shrimp cocktail which she loves. The kid had catfish fillets and although she is a picky eater, she ate them with ketchup. I had fish tacos and they were really good. The fish was blackened and served with Cole Slaw on the side. I also ordered the onion rings which are among the best in Dallas. Service is fast. There is always someone rotating throughout the restaurant to pick up dirty dishes. It's a well-oiled machine. Prices are very reasonable. This restaurant remains one of our favorites. read more

I tried this place late one Saturday night. When I arrived, the parking lot attendants were blocking off parking spaces to valet parking. I thought there was something special going on, but it wasn't. It was just away the establishment makes additional parking in the front of the restaurant, but there is sufficient parking in the back of the restaurant if you don't mind parking yourself. We went for oyster shots which wee about $10 per shot which included an oyster ZingZang, and your choice of vodka. The service was fast and friendly, but I highly recommend you pay for a side shot, for the oyster shot alone is not strong. We did not purchase food so this rating is based on the experience, bar, and service. I didn't think it was fair to give them a four because we did not eat. My plan is to return for a full meal and update this review if needed. The ambiance included a live band and people dancing next to the stage. .The items that came out of the kitchen all looked tasty and the menu prices were reasonable. This place specializes in seafood: boil, grilled, and fried. The plates ranged from $10 to $30 books. read more

Spoiler alert -- I am not a seafood lover. Unless it comes out of a can. But my friend is and we went to Fish n Tails on a Tuesday afternoon for their lunch special. She had the Catfish platter -- two decent size pieces of catfish and fries. Her plate came with tartar sauce and ketchup. I had the hamburger po'boy and fries. Mine came with ketchup and a mystery sauce. Probably ranch. The fries were steak fries and perfectly cooked. She loved the catfish and I enjoyed the hamburger although it was a bit messy due to an abundance of mayo. We both had iced tea. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Service was quite good. Tables were bussed efficiently especially considering that the place was quite busy for that time of day. Ambiance? Well, it's a fish joint. You order at the counter. You get your own drinks. You find a place to sit. And you eat. And you eat a delicious and fairly priced meal. Just a suggestion. The menu is on a board above where you order. It's dark and a little bit difficult to read. And it's extensive. Take a look at the menu on their website to get a general idea. Parking can be a little tight near the door. But it's a large lot. read more

Best Happy Hour in DFW! The seafood boils are amazing and the ousted are super fresh!

The service is very casual, you place your order at the desk. The menu is likely too extensive. We had the catfish with oysters and mahi mahi with crab. The catfish was average. The oysters were subpar. The fries and hush puppies were fine. The mahi mahi was subpar. The service team appeared on edge, maybe just post holiday fatigue. We will wait a while and try another location. read more

You have to eat with the old folks (before 5) if you don't want to stand in line to order. We ARE old folks, so it always works out for us. The service is always good, fast, and friendly here (and at the Garland location). If onions give you reflux and you think cilantro tastes like soap, you're in luck...you can order the shrimp cocktail without those. As you can see, they don't skrimp on the shrimp or avocado and even the mild has a nice little spicy kick. The pineapple salmon has a creamy pineapple sauce that is so good. The salmon was a little over done but still well seasoned. The side salad is always fresh and is plenty to share. If you leave here hungry, it's your own fault! read more

I finally visited fish and tails and will share with you MY personal thoughts and opinions. I arrived after 4:00 pm happy hour had started. I seated myself not knowing to order at the counter BEFORE seating myself . Signs should be posted alerting new customers to place order at counter. The manager was at the bar and he took my food and drink order. The fried fish and oysters were delicious, Tartar sauce wasn't to my liking and fish without it is like fries with no ketchup. It would be nice to have good music during happy hour. Their prices were affordable and very decent for my purchases. The restaurant was clean. The attendants were cleaning and replacing condiments as each table cleared out. Staff were NOT friendly nor welcoming. The manager was extremely attentive and welcoming but staff were very different. I normally do not tip when I order, seat or get my own condiments. I never understood the reasoning of tipping just because you purchased food at a restaurant . There was a tip jar near me when I placed the order and Due to the courtesy of the manager I placed money in the tip jar. The tip jar read that the tips would be shared amongst staff . I regretted placing anything in the jar after finishing my meal. When I asked questions or for help they responded but definitely grudgingly. I will definitely go back to Fish and Tails. Hopefully, staff will be in a better mood but the fish need no changes because it was good!!! read more

Ordered whole grilled catfish with fried okra and onion rings to go. The grilled fish was really good. Although I requested that the okra and onion rings be fried crispy, they weren't. I don't really care for soft okra or onion rings, so I placed them in my air fryer. That solved the problem. read more

Fish N Tails Oyster Bar - Grilled whole catfish, fried okra, onion rings - Seafood Near Me - Dallas, Texas

My radar is always up for good fried catfish at a decent price, and on Tuesdays for lunch (the daily special), this place delivers handsomely. For $9, you get two hefty nicely fried catfish fillets (about the same size or larger than Big Shucks), two hush puppies and your choice of fries, onion rings, or slaw. The quality of the food and the cook is very good, especially for the price. If you come here on a Tuesday between 11 and 11:30, there's a decent chance you will see me sitting at the bar (the best place to get service when you need anything) happily eating catfish and watching ESPN. read more

Happy Mardi Gras y'all!! We stopped in for dinner on Fat Tuesday for dinner and drinks to celebrate, the atmosphere was lively and the restaurant had a really good crowd and everyone was having a good time. I ordered a hurricane cocktail and it was pretty good for the most part but the juice that they use was a bit thick and syrupy for my taste, it actually tasted a little better once the ice melted a bit and I gave it a good stir. They were not heavy-handed with the liquor, which is a good thing, because that can sometimes make a cocktail taste like medicine. Overall it was a decent hurricane and a good compliment to my meal. They did have crawfish but due to a paper cut on one hand and a snagged cuticle on the other, I opted for a safer choice and decided to get a fried seafood basket!! I got the catfish and oyster basket, it comes with hush puppies and I chose the onion rings as my side. Everything came out super hot and crispy, the restaurant was pretty busy so your food is not made until your order is placed and there is nothing like a piping hot meal. The breading on the catfish and oysters was crisped to perfection, well seasoned but my order was supposed to include four oysters and one of them was so tiny that I thought it was just some extra breading that had fallen off of something else. It was after I ate it, I then realized that was one of the oysters they actually counted as a complete piece after counting the remaining ones....boo! The hush puppies were crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside just how I like them and the onion rings were golden and crunchy. I'll definitely be returning to try more of the items on their menu, especially now during Lent season. read more

People, this is really good seafood!!! Easy to get to, but parking can be tight as this place is full some nights. You order at the counter, get your drinks to the right and find a table (or cheat like some and have someone stake out a table. Be prepared for large groups/families around you of all ages. It can get a bit noisy. There are some sports on the multiple TV screens around the dining room. I ordered the Combo catfish (2 plump, flaky with crispy cornmeal batter), 2 hush puppies, fries and 3 butterflied shrimp plus I added another shrimp. My GF had the friend oysters and onion rings. The food was really good! Prices were reasonable and we'll be back! read more

Tasteless fish. Add cayenne at least. They fry it up real nice but it has no flavor. I'll stick with Big Shucks on Mockingbird.

Food is awesome , plenty of fried seafood but also more. Full bar with a tasty house margarita. All for a reasonable price. The atmosphere is somewhere between a Walmart and a Mexican fiesta but everyone is having fun and a good meal. Always packed so you know the food is good. The excessive florescent lighting is hard on the eyes, I wish they would re work the lighting in here but I still enjoy a drink at 4he bar and a fries basket read more

Came in to try the sea food since I had never been here before. Tried the shrimp po-boy and it was ok it was so so. Really didn't have any flavor. The fries had absolutely no flavor. My friend had the coconut shrimp and those were good you could taste flavor as soon as it hit your mouth all in all its about a 3 1/2 because of the shrimp read more

This company does decent catfish, but they have norijght to call themselves an oyster bar when the oysters served are the size if a nickel if you remover the breading. it doesn't matter how many you bu, tiny immature oysters do not have oyster flavor. I've included a photo of three of these oysters fully breaded by a fork and crackers to show I'm not exaggerating. Im suspicious of the photos with better oysters as I've never gotten normal oysters at this restaurant on Garland Road. read more

This place was a staple for my family and I to dine every weekend, through the years the customers service has declined unfortunately.

I absolutely love this seafood place! The food, ambience and service is always amazing.

The restaurant is very spacious inside and has a lot of food options to choose from. The lady who helped us was very patient. It wasn't very clean, still crumbs on the seats and tables. Food wise I'd say it's bland. The food was cooked well, but very tasteless, at least for the fish basket I got. They do give a good portion of food, but this would be better for someone who isn't a fan of spicy food or too much seasoning. I've heard other locations are better so maybe I'll have to try there. read more
