The shrimp kebab was not made fresh which was disappointing. I expected better from this restaurant. Service was fast but the staff was not communicative. Only a few tables with customers. Several dirty tables. On North Lake so nice set up but won't go back. read more

Having been to the Little Rock location several times, I had high expectations for this location. I ordered the grilled red snapper platter, which comes with red beans and rice, as well as grilled vegetables. The veggies were super garlicky, and the red beans and rice had a weird taste of cloves or all spice which was a bit much. The fish was grilled perfectly, and the chimichurri sauce on it had a nice kick, although it was also very garlicky. All in all, the layout was good as was the usually high selection of condiments for any seafood meal. read more

Flying Fish - Grilled Red Snapper - Seafood Near Me - Coppell, Texas

Fun atmosphere right over the water. In Dallas getting truly fresh fish is not going to be a reality but I can say it did not disappoint. For this price point it is hard to beat. It is a walk up and order place. Large inside and large outdoor patio. Wait was 10 min at the busiest times. Beer and margarita options are popular. Often boiled crawfish when in season. read more

The set up and area of town made this option the best fit for our family dinner. We did not love the options, as many lacked seasoning. The fish, shrimp, and other items we tried under seasoned. There is also some confusion about the sauce options. They advise it's passed the drink station, but what they don't tell you is they supply you will sauces as well. Then you end up with double sauce and it's very wasteful. The service is all on the front end, so tables were cleaned up but no real table service for additional drinks, etc. it was all self service. read more

A surprisingly little restaurant that really did feel like we were close to the beach while eating here. I ended up getting the catfish gumbo and the boyfriend got the crawfish po boy. I honestly didn't care for the gumbo too much. My rice was a bit dry and tasted like I got the last bit of an older batch right before they refilled it. The gumbo itself was okay, but I felt like it could have had more meat in it and some more seasoning. What I did absolutely love was the catfish. I would come back and just get the catfish platter. The boyfriend liked his crawfish po boy but I convinced him to try the oyster po boy next time. Extra brownie points for the sauce and condiments bar. I love being able to get my own lemon slices and tartar sauce. read more

I wish I could give more stars because the ambiance was amazing. Great views, great vibes, and good service;however, the food tasted like lake water-not in a good way. We had the crab legs and shrimp which were covered in Cajun seasoning but had the salty, nasty water in them/taste. My husband had the Hogwallow basket and the oysters tasted like fish poop and had the same flavor, the catfish and shrimp were both super fishy. The best part of the meal besides the view was the kids chicken strips and sauces. read more

I am a seafood fanatic and since moving to Texas have found almost no sushi places that consistently deliver fresh fish and an interesting selection of rolls. This place hits all the key areas delicious fresh fish interesting rolls good service. The only downside is it can be hard to get a seat, but that's just because their food is delicious. read more

The food was yummy. Came out nice and hot. I got the oysters with shrimp and added a fish on the side. My friend got the new hot sandwich with the chicken. I think next time he will get it with the fish instead. I tried it and definitely too spicy for me. Wasn't busy when we came. The decorations were fish/fishing related of course. Service was great. read more

We visited a Flying seafood location in east Texas and Louisiana and figured we should give this casual dining spot a visit too for comparison sake. I am glad we did. The food was very similar indeed. Very good food and great counter service with AYCD soft drinks, lemonade, and tea bar. Menus are similar in the starters, fried seafood baskets, , poboy loaf, and grilled seafood plates. I had fried pickles and their boiled, excellently seasoning, potatoes. Red beans and rice were good but I added hot sauce for that extra flavor kick because I can! All Tables are set with crackers, and bottled hot sauces for that reason. Hubs raved about their delicious seafood in particular the shrimp and oysters, fried to golden crispy goodness, he added. The catfish filets were not truly filets in my opinion just small pieces, if expecting true 4-finger sized catfish fillets, not here. The condiment bar is the basic ketchup, sliced lemons, etc. self service of course. read more

We had the grilled mahi-mahi played with nicely grilled yellow squash and zucchini with side of beans and rice. It was cooked well (not dry ) and had a good seasoning flavor. We finished it all so it must've been that good. The decor had the feel of a fishing pier with accessories hanging on the wall and pictures of caught fish from customers. There was an outdoor covered deck with more tables. It overlooked a nearly dried out pond that felt like being next to the water. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and look forward to coming back again. Service was minimal since it was mainly get your own drink and condiments, and pick up at the counter. read more

Cool setting. Good food but pricey. Serve and seat yourself. Cute area. I had oysters and peel and eat shrimp. Loved sitting outside and looking out at the little lake. read more

The location is great for the surrounding area. Six of us went. And the seafood dishes are average. Nothing stand out. Place was clean and the service is friendly. read more

This location is near my work and I have been here several times. It's a great location in The Sound on the lake. The back patio is very open and relaxing with the view of the lake. The menu is vast for their basket combos to the grilled fish. You can't go wrong and I highly recommend you stop by for a visit. If you have trouble parking on the street, directly across from the restaurant is a free parking garage. Enjoy. read more

This place is great for a variety of Southern seafood type dishes. My husband & I shared their Snapper Veracruz dish, & it was amazingly yummy. Glad we also decided to share, as the portion size was HUGE! (Go big or go home when it Texas, I guess. lol) wish it wasn't so hot outside so that we could have lunch by the lake. Nonetheless, we had a good time. Will come back with friends & family. read more

Flying Fish - snapper veracruz - Seafood Near Me - Coppell, Texas

I stopped by this place with my family while on vacation. The location is adorable! It has both indoor and outdoor seating. If the weather is nice, I highly recommend the outdoor seating! It's right by the water so it has a very nice atmosphere. You order inside and find your own seating. We ordered the shrimp/catfish basket, shrimp tacos, grilled red snapper fillet, and oysters. All the seafood tasted so fresh and everything was delicious! If it's your first time, the menu might be overwhelming. Feel free to ask the people at the front! The guy taking our order was extremely helpful in providing recommendations :) read more

I have been wanting to try this place for years- now, I vow to return sooner than later! My gah, Juan and Bevelin made our experience a true VIP moment. Clean and bright restaurant with a majestic view of the water way. Loved the outdoor area too! The menu is extensive and the variety is va-va-voom wonderful. Juan was at the register and helped us order some some tasty dishes. He was patient and polite. We ordered the lobster stew, very tasty, I had never had a stew like this, it was definitely jam packed with veggies and lobster. Fried okra, grits and gumbo, chicken and shrimp basket all wonderful choices. The grits were something I had never tried- they were fried into a cake. Crispy and interesting. Worthy of a try!! The outdoor patio is where we enjoyed lunch, it was breezy and beautiful. Bevelin and Juan delivered our food with a smile. Juan hooked us up with margarita samples and a giant mango margarita!!!!!! It was not only beautifully made but tasty as all get out. Perfect for a summer lunch. Thank you, Flying fish, you made our day! Great food, service and it was perfect! P.s. bring your fishing pole- we made a friend while lunching. He was fishing off the restaurant balcony. Nice! read more

Look don't get me wrong. This place has the best gumbo. I know places want to cut corners and save money. But this amount of okra is disrespectful lol it's to much! I'd rather have more rice. Okra is ok, just not 50%of my gumbo please. read more

We wanted seafood and were in the Grapevine area. As I was searching, I came across this place so we decided to go. It's in a cool spot... it was dark so I couldn't see everything that was around. It looked to have some entertainment, walking areas, etc. Cool place to hang out outside. We went inside and ordered at the front and found a seat. There were several other people dining that evening as well. We got poboys, Catfish, and shrimp between the four of us. I also ordered the stuffed jalapeños... they were just OK... seemed overdone. I did enjoy my poboy though. Servers were cool... no issues. We will definitely go back if in the area. read more

Okay I LOVE this place. First off, the menu is ginormous. Great news for a seafood lover like myself. The Po' Boys are SO good. I mean: AMAZING. I ordered the fried oyster po boy and man was it good. Lots of oysters, perfectly fried and delicious. If you come with family, you HAVE to order the fried whole red snapper. See the pictures? It tastes even better than it looks. My dad and I are big time seafood lovers and this snapper was by far the best we have ever had. Even the hush puppies are delicious. The staff is so friendly. I loved the snapper so much that I went back inside to let the chef know how amazing it is. The views are lovely and there is ample seating both outdoors and indoors. This place is a gem! Be sure to stop by! read more

Y'all!!! I've been craving frog legs for YEARS and haven't been able to find a place that has them, let alone be THIS GOOD!!! My God!!! Also, I'm a hot sauce connoisseur and they had SUCH a variety!!! I absolutely tried them all!! Came in on a day that it was storming, so we didn't get to see the great water views since this sits right over the water's edge. Great indoor and outdoor seating. I love the interior! You can bring a Big Mouth Billy Bass (yes, those ones) and they'll let you hang it on their wall! They'll hang your pictures of any catches you got!!!! Lots of personality!!! The menu is so expansive, it'll take you a couple times to really try everything!!! Husband got the blackened shrimp and he loved it!!! Will defo be back!!' read more

Fried baskets were great, langoustine lobster roll were delightful, the boiled crab might need some tweaks (overcooked and little salty, the meat doesn't slide off as easily, my son raved about the boiled shrimp, fried pickles and calamari, my daughter enjoyed a well cooked cheese burger. Overall, food was great and all reasonably price. The lady on the register was friendly, efficient and had a good command taking orders, checking customers out, arranging which meals should be called to the kitchen first, she was friendly and funny, and efficient, within minutes had orders ready for the customers! Located in Cypress Waters, good view, nice welcomed breeze to unwind on a Friday night, after an August day with high temps of 103 degrees. read more

I found this place on a hunt for shrimp in Dallas that didn't taste frozen and wasn't boiled. Shell Shack's locations are either inconvenient or inconsistent. I was pleasantly surprised by Flying Fish. Beware, close parking is limited. I've been lucky the 3 times I've went. However I believe there is a parking garage (I'm not sure how much or if it costs anything) but it's a little walk from the restaurant. I was taken aback the first time I went in because I thought it was like a normal full service restaurant. You actually walk up to the counter, order, get a buzzer, get your own non alcoholic drinks, and sit wherever you would like. 2/3 times I was served by the gentleman with the hat and no glasses. You'll know exactly who I'm talking about when he greets you. He's an absolute gem and has the BEST customer service skills. Although it's self serve for the most part, he jumped in and helped when other cashier wasn't so friendly. I ordered and went straight to my table. I totally forgot about getting my drinks so I went back up to verify if I needed to wait for alcoholic beverages or if they will be brought out. He made one immediately for me, said he would bring it over, and then pointed me to the fountain to get my other drinks. When my order was ready, we had 2 huge trays. Instead of me making multiple trips, he grabbed one and walked it to my table. Everything we've ever ordered has been pretty good. I typically order some variation of shrimp and my only complaint is that it could use a little bit of seasoning. I wasn't a huge fan of the tomato sauce that they serve with it (it's kind of brothy). I honestly end up eating it with cocktail sauce and call it a day. The shrimp are never mushy which is why I love this place. For the veggies lover or those that need to have something healthy on the plate, try the grilled zucchini and squash! It's cooked perfectly and squeezing a little lemon does the trick. The veggies on the kabobs should you decide to try it are very soft. I wasn't a huge fan of the tomatoes on there and the zucchini lost its crunch. (If you haven't noticed, I have texture issues haha!) I'll wrap this thing up and say, if you're not sure if you want to try this place, sign up for their e-mail club online. Once a month I get coupons for Buy One Get One Free Entrées (there's like a $12- $14 limit) or Free Jambalaya. It's great to use it to try something new without feeling guilty for burning a hole in your wallet. Hope you love this place as much as I do! read more

I have gotten food to go from this location three times in the past, it was OK, I didn't have too many complaints, but eating in was a totally new experience. The ordering process at the counter seemed daunting at first, but was so easy. We placed our order and it was ready fairly quickly. You go get the food yourself and return to a table you also pick yourself. It was great. The food makes it. The tables were clean, there were napkins and condiments waiting on the tables. We ordered raw oysters, fried calamari, fried catfish jambalaya, boiled crawfish, and banana pudding. No complaints on food flavor, portions, prices, anything. It was all so good. read more

This place was just ok. It's new, so hoping they have worked out the missteps by now... The jambalaya was spicy! I totally dug it. The trout almandine was good. The fish was pretty thin but it was cooked nicely. The side of boracho beans was very good :)' The lobster stew came out ICE COLD, we complained about that. The manager was very cool about it, made me a new one no questions ask that was HOT. It was pretty good. Like to try some other dishes in the future. Will return. read more

Have never been disappointed? Easy to order; loved the blues music being played and the gumbo & grits are outstanding.

I've had this Flying Fish bookmarked forever. I want to sit on the patio overlooking the lake and have a meal. The day we arrived, it was 34 degrees and a 30 mph wind. So much for the patio idea! I think it was the manager helping us. Very nice, knew the menu in and out, good guy. I picked the trout almandine. It was excellent and very tasty. The grilled veggies were ok but pretty bland. Need more seasoning. The fried okra was perfection on my fork! Mikey, unfortunately, picked his favorite, fried oysters. The oysters were so small you couldn't taste them. The deep frying dried them out to almost nothing. The seasoning in the batter was really good. I tried several of his oysters, and the seasoning was great but absolutely no oyster taste. Sorry Mike. It's a great location, and maybe it will be warm next time! read more
