    Catfish from Murdocks
    Danielle H.

    Murdocks is my go-to for fresh seafood in Kansas City. I drive maybe 20 minutes from south Kansas City and I don't think twice about it. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. The seafood is always fresh and it's fairly priced. Great establishment!

    Fresh Catfish nuggets and whole catfish
    Bridget C.

    When I come to visit, I have to make this one of my stops. You get the freshest seafood here and they have plenty of employees to serve you. Christmas Eve was no exception, due to COVID-19 only 6 people are allowed in at a time,but they really hustle to help everyone get in out the cold. I love to come and get the whole Catfish steaked, the pieces are always meaty.

One side has the bar area, and the other side of room is dining tables. Feels open but not separating. The food was truly exceptional!! The seasoning was spot on-- so tasty and with that zing of heat that is just right!! We would most definitely return on another trip through the city!!

    Swift's Cajun Cuisine Food Truck Review…read more I tried Swift's Cajun Cuisine and ordered the fish with fried rice and shrimp. Unfortunately, the food was just okay for me and not something I'd personally return for. The fried rice was a bit spicy and it actually tasted like it picked up several different flavors from the grill it was cooked on. I also added shrimp after placing my order and was basically charged a dollar a shrimp, I received five shrimp, but honestly, that extra purchase wasn't worth it for me. The chicken was the best part of the meal and was actually pretty good. However, I bought the chicken intending to give it to my daughter, who has a fish allergy. After purchasing it, I asked whether the fish and chicken were fried separately and was told they use the same fryer and peanut oil. That's definitely something I should have asked beforehand, so that part was my mistake. Overall, I didn't really enjoy the meal enough to feel it was worth coming back for. This is just my personal experience and taste but unfortunately, Swift's Cajun Cuisine food truck wasn't a hit for me.

I mentioned the sort of oysters just as a reference (and yes I was asked this) We each had one of the following: Aphrodite, Birthday Girl, Blackstone. Delicious. Like a mouthful of the sea in one bite. We also had the Molten Scallop and Shrimp Dip. Warm. Deep flavor. A stick of butter? Maybe. Who cares? Yum. Butter soaked crostini. Oh yeah, cocktails. That came first. I had a Saffron Honey Manhattan. Super balanced. She had a Rose Spritzer. gin, lemon, St. Germain, and... stuff. She had the Norwegian Ocean Trout. Expertly prepared. Perfect skin. Perfectly medium and soft. So good. More nuanced than salmon? I had the Chicken Fried Halibut Clavicle. I would normally order lighter and more toward raw or lightly cooked dishes. Having someone prepare an underused part of a fish... in the Midwest? I had to do it. Photos won't do that plate justice (because it was deep fried), but let me put it this way: if you're a "white meat" chicken person, you're probably happy with a halibut filet. But if you're a chicken thigh person... this is your order. Clavicle bones are angular and sorta fluted so a lot of the meat is contacting bone. Insanely moist and flavorful, but just as snow-white. Atop a bed of country mashed potatoes and sage gravy, and collard greens. Loved it. More food than the photo shows. Wow. I didn't expect that. Must have been a large fish to begin with. The counter downstairs looks cool, but the view from above provides a grounded sense of space for downtown. This place looks good on Parkville... but Parkville looks good on this place. We have lived here 13 years and have longed for a proper place to occupy the best physical space in the street. Nailed it. A great date night made better by our experience here.

We shared the mashed potatoes and spinach, and enjoyed sparkling water with our meal. What really stood out was the exceptional service. We didn't arrive until 9:20 p.m., just 40 minutes before closing, but we never felt rushed. The staff treated us with genuine kindness and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The food was outstanding. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. You would never have guessed they were close to closing--the quality was just as impressive as if we had been there much earlier in the evening. If you're looking for amazing food, outstanding service, and a restaurant that consistently delivers a great dining experience, I highly recommend Eddie V's. We'll definitely be back!

The service was attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the entire meal. I started with my go-to appetizer, the calamari, which is consistently one of my favorites. It's always perfectly cooked and never disappoints. I also tried the 24K cocktail, and it was refreshing, smooth, and absolutely delicious. For my entrée, I ordered the lamb chops, and they continue to be the best lamb chops I've had--perfectly seasoned, tender, juicy, and cooked just right. We paired them with the crab fried rice and the lobster mashed potatoes, and both sides were incredible. The crab fried rice was full of flavor, while the lobster mashed potatoes were rich, creamy, and the perfect complement to the meal. Every bite was delicious, and the level of service matched the quality of the food. The staff is always warm, accommodating, and genuinely makes you feel like a valued guest. It's one of the reasons we continue coming back. Eddie V's has become one of our favorite special occasion restaurants because they consistently deliver exceptional food, outstanding service, and an elegant atmosphere. They simply never disappoint.

    I love a good seafood boil!…read more This has honestly become my go to spot. They have good customer service and I enjoy how they make their boils. The place itself is clean and I appreciate the whole graffiti-esque route they took to enhancing their spot. They have a marker by the door to let you right your name or really anything just about anywhere in the restaurant. The restroom however was not the best; although it was clean, it smelled absolutely terrible. I couldn't even stomach it and had to leave without using it. I ordered the number 3 with all eggs and it was good! Sometimes they can be a bit heavy handed with seasoning which overpowers the taste of the dish so make sure you clarify everything when ordering. I recommend this spot if you haven't been yet just make sure you use the restroom before coming in!

    This was a first time visit. Just down the street. Read Yelp reviews to decide…read more The place is clean and has plenty of ambiance. People have written on every inch of interior walls, lights, and paneling. Very cool and historic too. You order at the counter window and seat yourself. Self service on mints , napkins, and plastic ware. Lots of tables and booths for seating. Food was ordered then delivered to our table. Steaming hot and delicious. All the requested sauces were delivered to the table. Steamed oysters with real garlic and real butter sauce. Yummy! Egg fried rice delivered steaming hot and plenty to eat. Fried large shrimp with delicious hot sweet potato waffle fries. Fried catfish lightly crusted and flaky with plenty of home made fries steaming hot. Too much for us to eat so there were plenty for leftovers except the oysters. too good to leave. Prices are fair for so much quality food. Rice 10; fish and shrimp baskets 15; a dozen oysters 18. Total of $ 73 and I left a 10 for a tip for quality and quantity House specialties are steamed seafoods sold by the pound and include potato and corn in your selected sauce. I would definitely recommend this place and will come back when I can. Don't forget to bring a magic marker and write your name on the wall.
