Another great weekend and another couple stops at Fish & Tails here in Rowlett! Jason and I had a million errands to run Friday, so we stopped in for a quick bite to eat. He got the fish tacos special and I'm telling you -- absolutely fabulous. The food was light but still filling, super fresh, and definitely something I'd recommend trying. We also ordered the fried pickles, which are spears (normally not my favorite style), but the breading was SO good that it completely changed my mind. And of course, I had to try the fried rice everyone talks about... and wow, they were right. It was REALLY good. At this point, we'll absolutely be back for the fried rice and fried pickles alone. Great food, quick service, and another awesome experience! read more

I was craving fried catfish so my babe and I stopped by. It was a Sunday afternoon so it was getting a little busy. The interior was clean with a casual vibe and the staff were kind. I ordered the catfish and shrimp fried basket and a margarita, all of which was delicious ! My babe ordered a fried whole catfish (the main reason he loves this place), sausage, red beans and rice and a margarita. Everything was good except the red beans and rice... it was literally red beans and rice mixed together. Overall it was a great outing, with great food. We really enjoyed hanging out on the patio while eating. We will definitely go back read more

This is the second location we have visited. We ordered the fried catfish/ shrimp combo, Shrimp Salad, Cajun shrimp pasta Everything was good except the pasta. It lacked flavor. Due to the other menu items and great customer service we will be back read more

Fish N Tails never fails! This location is just minutes from home & so far one of the best locations we've been to. And I've been to at least 6 different ones... They have plenty of seating for larger parties, and customer service is always good. read more

Service is so bad!! I think that the food is 80% of why I go to a restaurant and service is the other 20%. Why am I paying these high prices for these people to treat me so rude not coming here again!! read more

How have I never been here before? A date suggested it and it was amazing. It gives you the fast food vibe at first because you order at the counter but it's anything but! We shared ceviche and it was great. I had the mahi-mahi with vegetables and pineapple rice, which was absolutely delicious. Looking forward to my next stop there. The service was great. read more

I can agree with the previous review of how they bring out food. It is all over the place. We ordered a half a dozen of raw oysters, half a dozen grilled and seafood boil. The oysters came first and last and there was no timing so everything was on the table. The food was delicious. I did order a margarita and I did expect a bigger one than that what was given but it did the job. The service was ok. No one checks in on you. read more

We ordered two shrimp fried baskets. Both baskets were way overcooked, food was very dry and tough. On one basket we requested onion rings instead of french fries, so they gave us three onion rings. Overall, for the price that you pay, it's not worth it at all. Definitely we won't be going back. read more

First- they brought my side of rice and veggies first...I ordered half order of raw oysters, crab boil spicy, and side of rice and veggies. Second- the crab they have is some of the most difficult I've ever experienced breaking. I barely got meat because the crab would not crack correctly. Today I found out crab shells have a membrane... I really wanted to like this place but nah read more

I absolutely LOVE this place. I am a foodie and I like to go to a bunch of different restaurants and try new places. However, this is one my my go-to's. The staff are always so kind, they keep the place clean, and the food is excellent. I never leave there feeling like I need a nap from crappy ingredients. Highly recommend! read more

This was our 2nd time trying out this specific restaurant as the 1st time it didn't impress me. The order line moved very quickly. The service was attentive and courteous. My wife ordered the Red fish and again she had no complaints. She said it was not anything special, but for the price acceptable. The first time I ordered from here, I had the 3 catfish plus shrimp fried plate. The sizes were good, the fish was undercooked, which I didn't appreciate. I ended up throwing my plate away as I was disappointed. The second time, I ordered their combo cajun boil. I ordered it spicy. I didn't expect for Tajin to be their spice of choice. I was not amused. I really wanted to like this place, but honestly don't see myself going back. The restaurant was loud and lacked any ambiance. To each their own. Personally, taking off my local restaurant options list. read more

My first visit to fish and tails. Delicious seafood , fries and coleslaw...and a very nice wait staff. Very clean! It will become my favorite fish restaurant! read more

Honestly I have no complaints about this Fish N Tails location. We're are familiar with the food and how you order from this place since we've frequent the one in Richardson. This one is definitely smaller than the Richardson location, but it's newer and nicer. So after placing the order, we grad some drinks, headed to the table and honestly shortly after that, the food started coming out fresh and hot. The customer service and servers at this location were great! The food was also great. I like how they cook the fries well done, I don't like limp fries. This will probably be our new location for Fish N Tails. It's quite a hike from the house, but so was the Richardson location. *** Tip *** Just in case you don't know how this place operates, I will give it a run down. You walk in and there is usually a line already in place for food orders. I recommend sending others from your party that aren't ordering food to go and find a table big enough for your party, because it is pretty much first come first serve, you have to seat yourself. We got so lucky last night that we had part of our party of 9 that got there about 5 minutes before we did, and grabbed a table big enough to hold us all. The cool part about this place is that if you can nab a smaller table and add it to your table to suit your needs, It's all good, they don't mind. We were able to nab more chairs from a couple that were leaving. Anywho, once you place and pay for your order, they give you a number for your table and you place it on your table and all night that is your number for any other orders you may have for the rest of the night. They do have a separate bar for your beer, cocktails and margarita needs. The menu is pretty extensive, so study it before you go, LOL!! jk! Besides catfish fillets, they do have beer battered cod for fish and chips. You're welcome! read more

The ambiance is wonderful. The food was bland. Had the oyster poboy. Like I said little bland. Put a little cocktail sauce made it a lot better. But it didn't come with the order. It was a little to cold inside for my comfort Probably want be back unless I am nearby in Rockwall. But to many other restaurants to try in the area read more

My Mahi Mahi was very dry and overcooked. Ordered red beans and rice and it tasted bland like someone just dumped rice and beans together no flavor this is my second time visiting with poor food. I will go somewhere else next time read more

They have great beeritas! I got the fish tacos. They were good but needed a bit more sauce. read more

Pros: Space was nice. The Buffalo shrimp was really good. The crawfish is lacking any flavor. Ordered it spicy but it tastes like they just coated it in chili powder. Im not a steak fries person, and that's what they serve for fries. The fried rice looked good, but I didn't order any. read more

This place was awesome. Loved their selection of hot sauce and that each table has a bunch of crackers on it. I hate begging for hot sauce places. My dad got the poboy and said it was amazing. Will be baccccc read more

We have driven by this place for years, but never stopped in. I didn't have high expectations, but was really impressed with the menu variety, and the food was delicious. The Mahi Mahi was a little slow to arrive. Other than that it was great. read more

The food was very good But you guys need to clean that soda machine!!!!!!!!! there was black MOLD !!! on it and that can get someone sick ! if the mold is there and can be seeing I cant imagine what the inside looks like . read more

This place was clean and quiet. The service was good and the bartender has a great personality. Now the issue is the food. I got a dozen raw oysters a piece of fish and a margarita. The fish was fried and came out hot. Great cornbread batter just no seasoning. I added Tony's but if I have to pay for it and season it I might as well get paid for doing it. The raw oysters were not appealing to the eye it was a little sketchy because of the appearance. The ice was already half way melted they place a plate over the oyster which covered 4-5 oysters. It would have been better placing it on the side. Margarita was okay for a premade mix. I would have like one freshly made. They were far from busy. It's not the location, it's not the service, the place was clean! It is Literally the food here. read more

My husband and I had fried fish. Gumbo as an appetizer. We had the key lime and turtle cheese cake for desserts. The fried fish was crispy and perfect. The Gumbo was not good at all. It didn't have the traditional taste of gumbo. The desserts were just okay, nothing to make us want to eat it again. read more

Save your money and time and go elsewhere! The snow crab was IMPOSSIBLE to crack open and not good quality at all. The Friday lunch was fish tacos with rice and veggies - 1/5. The only edible thing on the plate were the tortillas from the tacos. Fish was soggy and lacked flavor. Veggies and rice were wet - don't know if they just stuck it in the microwave and served it because that's definitely what it tasted like. read more

The food here was super delicious!! I do wish that they would take your order at the table instead of having to walk up to order, but it is what it is. I got the grilled catfish and was super impressed. Great space for work meetings with a room that has closed doors if needed. I will return on my own so I can enjoy the food without the workplace chatter. read more

Love the service the food the atmosphere! Much better than any other fish n tails locations!

Service and the food were great! Good portions! Plus fresh and very tasty! Lots on the menu but all the choices I've made were good portions and delicious! I've had the salmon, catfish, and shrimp cocktail all delicious and big portions! read more

Tried out this place for the first time. Got to say that my catfish shrimp combo was lack luster. Honestly it lacked flavor. It was very bland. Hush puppies were mediocre. I order a draft beer and I could not stomach the taste. It was either old or flat or both. I had to send it back and ask for a bottle beer. It had a nasty taste and it was all I could do to not spit it out. The restaurant was nice and clean. It had a big crowd and the server girls were great. They kept checking on our table and replaced my beer quickly. Thank you for good service. Just not certain that I will return. Pier 101 is more expensive but has better food. That's all I got to say about that. Cheers. read more

Went tonight and we both had the catfish and oyster basket..we were shocked at how the portion size was cut way down...we had a very small piece of catfish and 4 of the tiniest oysters we had ever seen. We never leave hungry but tonight we surely did. Very disappointed tonight. read more

Beware-Catfish was not catfish- I don't know what shipment they received labeled catfish!!!! The fish was flat & mushy. The batter peeled completely away from the fish. No hush puppies. I wish I took a pic to show you guys!!! The shrimp had no flavor whatsoever. I wanted to give this place another try-it was worse than the initial visit. We will not be returning. I wasted over $70 for 3 catfish baskets and 1 shrimp baskets. read more

Service is eh , it depends who's up front taking the orders. The food is always delicious !

I ordered food from this place before. Today, I placed my order, my regular order that I do as always. They gave me a SPOILED Agua de Jamaica, SPOILED.. I can't imagine how many more people they are giving this to.... Gross read more

A sweet local joint tucked right over the bridge! The service was so quick; we were pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere is cool with plenty of seating inside & out. Everybody cleared their plates with ease. My dad said the Diablo is spicyyyy (in the best way). The fillets could've had a bit more seasoning, but the fish was soft and flaky on the inside & crisp and crunchy on the outside. My mom really enjoyed the orange spicy sauce provided on the side of her fish tacos! Definitely would recommend this rising establishment! Hope you stop by and enjoy! read more

I'm pretty upset with my encounter with this restaurant today. We spent $147 for crab boils that we're not cleaned and tasted fishy and old. My boyfriend ate 1 leg and sent his back I had two and sent mine back. He got a fried shrimp instead I decided not to eat anything else as I was worried about the quality overall. First we were given a 50 gift card, which we declined. Then the manager "cancelled" the transaction and refilled us but for the wrong items so instead of the $78.40 I was owed I only got a $54.40. Buttttt I actually didn't get any refund I now have both $147 and $92 for the new transaction pending. At this point I think I deserve a full refund OR at minimum the $78.40 I was originally supposed to receive. read more
