    Close up of the whitefish. This fish is my favorite here! Not over seasoned whatsoever. Fresh tasting and hot.

    I have been to this establishment many times, even as a little girl when we would visit NC. The food is consistently hot, fresh and flavorful Nothing ever tastes previously frozen. But I do have one complaint....this last time my mother and I did a pickup order, the popcorn shrimp were over seasoned. It is rare that I say this about most food establishments, but it was a bit salty to my tastebuds. If it weren't for that, I would give them 5 stars. They have daily specials and usually more than 1 each day. Some specials are all day and some are lunch time 11 am to 3 pm.

    Had a nice lunch at Mayflower on a Tuesday around noon. The parking lot was almost full so we thought it would be packed inside but the space is huge so it didn't feel crowded at all. Nautical theme decor was cute if a bit kitschy. Service was friendly and welcoming. As for the food, I have to start with the tartar sauce! I can't enjoy fried seafood without really good tartar and the Mayflowers is excellent. Perfect balance of savory and sweet from the pickles and seasonings. Loved it. We had fried whitefish, jumbo shrimp and baby flounder. We chose baked potatoes for our side. The platters come with hush puppies and slaw. Puppies were ok but I didn't love the slaw, bitter tasting to me. All in all a tasty affordable lunch. I would revisit if in the area again at lunch time for sure!

    First visit and definitely won't be my last. The food was amazing! Portions were really large and our service was just as great. This lil restaurant located on Freeway Drive in Reidsville, was extremely clean and employees were friendly. I had the broiled salmon and my son had the broiled catfish. We ordered a side of hush puppies and they are without a doubt the best I have ever had, not hard, crunchy, like so many other seafood restaurants . Highly recommend this location for families and groups. Tables are spread apart which is a huge plus. Great experience and reasonably priced.

    MOUNDS OF FOOD! GREAT COLE SLAW! Waitress "Aby" was super nice and gave WONDERFUL SERVICE. PRICES ARE VERY REASONABLE! We drank ice water, my husband ordered the large clam strips, and I only ordered a baked potato. (The pictured white fish was a friend that was billed separately.) ($15.92 BEFORE TOP) THEY DO CHARGE A 3% fee for charge cards!!

    With a pleasant, casual atmosphere, super nice employees, and fresh, delicious seafood, this is my favorite place to eat in Reidsville! One of the things I like the best about this restaurant is that the menu offerings are not complicated. You can just get one type of seafood, fried or broiled, or can get combinations of several, with less hidden calories than food at some fancy seafood restaurant chains. We ordered broiled jumbo shrimp, and a combo of broiled flounder, shrimp, and oysters, with sides of fresh salad, mouth-watering hush puppies, and large baked potatoes, and all the food was very satisfying. The portions were generous for the amount of money charged. Our super nice, attentive server (the one who moved there from Florida) really cared about making sure our dining experience was great. The colorful, beachy décor on the wall created a relaxing environment. Nice place!

I have always loved their salad and jumbo shrimp. The salad was so different that it might have come out of a vending machine... not good and obviously not fresh. The shrimp were not as large as always before. And they had destroyed the shrimp sauce (which was even worse. The sauce is a major factor in how good the shrimp tastes. It was obviously watered down, too much horseradish to cover it up, and ANY brand (even the cheapest) off a grocery store shelf would have been much better. I was so disappointed that both items that I drove 20 minutes for had been noticeably changed and not worth going back for. Even the service failed. After assuring me that I could finish my salad before turning in my order, my food appeared before my salad was half eaten. Having to voice this negative report is almost as bad as losing my favorite place to eat.

They're super seasoned and buttery. It was a nice introduction. The place stays pretty busy but I had no issues being sat either time I've visited. Most people seem to go for the oysters but I'm not a raw oyster girl so I tried some favorite entrees both times. The first time I got the shrimp and grits-it was different than a normal shrimp and grits-this was a grit cake in a nice spicy cream sauce with shrimp. I would say it was pricier than most for shrimp and grits I've had for the portion size but no complaints. This most recent time I got a harvest salad and the crab dip. Both were really good-I would have liked toasted bread for the dip instead of the loaf bread provided. They have great specials and I'll definitely be back.

The layout of the restaurant was interesting with large central bars. The menu is the star at this restaurant being a seafood lovers dream. Aw a walk in it took about 45 mins to get seated but with Adjacency to good local bars time flew past. The service you received was as good as could be expected with a busy bay. The shrimp cocktail was tasty but the shrimp are extremely small and only 6 so definitely not a shareable. I had the chargrilled oysters and they had great potential. All the flavors were there but they were left a bit too long to cook and half my order was burnt. The soup was phenomenal, as was the peel and eat shrimp. I would love to go back on a day that isn't as hectic and hope for better oyster. The potato salad did make up for a couple of the black shells.

I'm so thankful I thought of it last minute, after leaving the gym!! I called to see if they could accommodate two in an hour & a half. Todd politely answered the phone and said he could make that work. We arrived right at 6:30 and Todd, who also happened to be the host for the evening, gave us our choice of two tables. The atmosphere is busy, lots of people chatting, but you're still pretty much able to hold your own conversations. Jake was our delightful British (I think) waiter. He brought us our beverages and described what had to be 5-6 specials for the evening. Everything sounded delightful, but I've been wanting that fried flounder since day one! Jake even brought us a sample bowl of hush puppies with butter. YUMMM!!! The dinner came within 10-17 minutes, nice & hot! Everything was pretty tasty. My flounder was a little bland so I requested some salt & pepper to add more flavor. I got the chili sauce on the side because the fish is the star, not to be covered with Thai chili sauce. Todd was cleaning empty tables near us and stopped by to make sure we enjoyed our meal and would come back. We definitely will!!! Thank you Todd for helping make our girls night dinner delightful!

We had a very nice waitress but we didn't get any water refills. The chairs aren't the most comfortable and the seating is a little tight, but the quality and selection of seafood is excellent if not the best in Greensboro. I would definitely recommend making a reservation. I wish I could give the restaurant 4.5 stars, truthfully it just slightly missed the mark of a perfect 5.

The wait is worth it. The onion rings are good - I forgot to request extra crispy, but since I didn't finish them, I took them home and used the air fryer to rewarm them the next day. Man they were greasy (thank you air fryer for caring for my arteries)!!! But very crisp like I like. I'm not one for a lot of batter in my seafood, so I opted for the salt & peppered version. It's a lot lighter and tastes good seeing it is the only seasoning you'd need on fish. This visit I opted to try the broiled jumbo shrimp with my combo (with an up charge) and I'm so glad I did!! I think next time I'll get a broiled platter and skip the fryer! Seasoning was delicious!! #OldBay Looking forward to another visit soon.
