A friend recommended Nate's knowing how much I love seafood. So, we decided to eat there Sunday afternoon for lunch. It was a delicious and very satisfying experience. Our waiter ( guy with braids) was extremely helpful, friendly, and informative. ) I wanted a kir royale ( they couldn't make because they didn't have chambord). However, he and manager came to the table to offer options. I tried a French 76. We ordered calamari which was light, crisp, and fresh. It was delicious and prepared perfectly. I ordered the stuffed flounder ( substituted red fish for flounder) with the Ponchatrain sauce ( shrimp and crabmeat in creamy sauce) which was delicious. I kept the potatoes with peppers ( prepared beautifully ) however, I will try another potato dish that I don't think will compete or overpower the fish. The fish was hot, flaky, light and delicious. They also serve a dish of garlicky, buttery dish of bread and hush puppies as an appetizer.Loved the bread dish. The service, food, ambience are well worth the drive. I can't wait to go back to try other dishes that they offer. We were too full to order dessert. Maybe I'll get one on my next visit. read more

Our first time here and it wasn't what we were expecting. Kind of divey, unassuming yet funky! I'll have to try their other dishes another time. We saw a lot of people ordering the seafood boils and went with that. Got the crab combo and came with some snow crabs, crawfish, Dungeness crabs and oysters with a side of grilled veggies. For spice level we went with turbo, and their desi Bon temp sauce. Food was great. I love how big the crabs were. I did not eat the crawfish only cause I don't care for them. My bf enjoyed them though. I do think service was a little lacking but very friendly so not a big deal. I'd be down to try some of their other dishes but for my first time here. 8 think it's a good seafood joint!!! read more

We came at such a good time at noon on a Saturday before it got busy. The dim lighting with all the tables occupied gave me the vibe that this is the spot for crawfish. The seasoning and sauce for the crawfish was perfectly flavored. The oysters were fresh and the crab fingers were delicious. Our waitress was so nice and welcoming. read more

It's been years since I've been to Nate's. Went with some co workers. It was about 10 people. When I first got there it was pretty packed but the good thing is there is valet. Our reservation was at 6. We were seated right on time at a big table in the back. I will say for all of us we only had one waitress but she did really good with our orders. We had several appetizers like onion rings and hush puppies to start with. For my meal I had several options that I was torn between so I asked the waitress opinion. Out of my choices she suggested the creole seafood pasta but with the sauce from another pasta. It was a great recommendation. It was so good I cleaned my plate. read more

Nate's Seafood and Steakhouse - Seafood creole pasta - Seafood Near Me - Addison, Texas

This place is very busy so be prepared to wait a bit. The parking lot itself fills up so get there early if you'd like to avoid having to valet. After we were seated, we got the gator nuggets. They were good, not very fishy and had a good texture. We didn't get any silverware or little plates and it was busy so we ended up eating it with our hands. We also ordered drinks which took a long time to get to us. I ordered a cup of seafood and the crabmeat and shrimp etouffe. I expected the cup of gumbo to be an appetizer but it got there after my entree, which kind of threw off the meal a bit. I liked the taste of the etouffe and the amount was a generous portion. One thing I didn't like was that it had crab shells in it so I kept having to pick them out as I ate. My husband got the chicken po boy and he said he thought the gator had been seasoned more than the po boy. I finished my meal with the gumbo and I didn't much like the taste. It wasn't very flavorful. Overall, this place was a mixed bag. It's obviously very popular and I tasted some things that were very good but others that missed the mark. read more

This restaurant delivers consistent great tasting food. We have stopped in numerous times. We stopped in as a party of 2 yesterday (Valentines) and wait was quoted about an hour and got seated in about 45min. Our server was attentive and nice. Ordered crawfish and shrimp and grilled oysters. Everything was great, shrimp was a little overcooked but overall enjoyable. . The bread and hush puppies they bring out is delicious. Also, they went around and handed the women dining a single carnation. Very cute! We will be back. read more

Address: 14951 Midway Rd., Addison, TX 75001 Date Visited: January 17, 2026 I'm in town on a business trip to the Dallas area from Southern California and decided to try Nate's Seafood. Overall, I'm giving it 3 stars -- good experience, fair prices, but the food was hit-or-miss. What we ordered (with prices) * Half & Half Platter ( 1/2 fried shrimp & 1/2 fried oysters) -- $26.94 * Seafood Gumbo (cup) -- $7.95 * Stuffed Flounder Atchafalaya -- $36.95 * Hamburger Po'Boy -- $14.95 * Michelob Ultra Draft (2) -- $11.90 (about $5.45 each) * Abita Root Beer -- $4.95 * House Cabernet (glass) -- $8.00 Food review I had the Half & Half Platter (fried shrimp and fried oysters). * The shrimp were good -- crispy and enjoyable. * The oysters were just okay, nothing special. * It came with a side of jambalaya, but unfortunately it was pretty bland. I also ordered a cup of gumbo, and that was another letdown -- very bland and lacking the flavor I was hoping for. My colleagues had mixed feedback too: * One ordered the Stuffed Flounder Atchafalaya and said it was okay. * The other got the Hamburger Po'Boy and said it was excellent -- very spicy and really good, probably the standout item at our table. Ambiance & service The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, and it was very busy, which is usually a good sign. Service was good and everything came out in a reasonable time. Also worth mentioning: the Michelob Ultra draft was served in a chilled glass and was ice cold, which I appreciated -- and the prices felt very fair overall. Final thoughts I'm glad I tried it, and I might return, especially since the prices are reasonable and the vibe is lively. But I wouldn't go out of my way to come back -- I'd probably only return if I was nearby again. read more

Nate's never disappoints! We have been coming here for over 10 years and it just keeps getting better. When you order crawfish, I suggest you get the JP juice, grilled sausage and corn and potatoes. Yummy, enjoy. read more

Came here with my mom and brother before doing our Father's Day remembrance thing for my thing since my father is no longer with us. When we came in, my mom said that this is exactly the thing he would like. They were playing the right music and they had different decor my Dad would have liked-- everything else BESIDES the food was a miss. My brother and I shared a seafood boil worth $80 bucks and my mom got an order of Etouffe and we all shared an order of fried mushrooms. Rude and uninformed waitstaff, impartial hostess, dirty tables and food/items on the floor like napkins and lemons/lime rinds ESPECIALLY in the bar area where you walk through the patio to go inside to the bathroom............. read more

Gumbo was awesome, ettouffe was different than what we are used to, but still good. Fried seafood was great!

Went here for the first time and the overall experience was not good. I ordered over the phone with what sounded like an old lady. She was rude and unfriendly. Being a first time I was asking her different questions and one of them if they mix any alcohol in the batter of a catfish like some other seafood restaurants does. She answered as if I asked a dumbest question in the world! Catfish was just okay and nothing special. Had a very strong "fishy" taste. Fries were just okay as well. Upon checking my receipt afterwards, I saw $1 was added under "Take Out." I don't think this "extra" charge was mentioned anywhere on their menu and/or in the store. They should clearly mentioned any extra charge instead of just adding and then charging it without customer's approval. Not sure if I will try this restaurant again or not. read more

So I stopped into Nate's seafood today to try their crawfish. Being from Louisiana they hit a lot of big marks for me! Loved that they do it the traditional way! They were dry seasoned not long soaked. Not the worst thing in the world but definitely really salty! Definitely loved that you can add mushrooms!! Not a lot of places have that option! The thing that got me the most was the price for quality. They were on the menu as "market price" however they were definitely the highest priced that I have paid out of the 4 places I have gone to in DFW just this season. (11.99/lb.) Unfortunately for the price their were a lot of teeny tiny ones, lost of medium compared to other places being priced at 7.99 for way bigger crawfish. I rather take the extra $3 a pound I paid and put it in the gas tank for a trip to bourbon street b&g in Euless! Service was superb though. Ambience is exactly what you're looking for when you're eating good crawfish. Would absolutely return for a quick fix in a pinch!! read more

Disappointed. Came for the crawfish, they were sizable and spicy but unfortunately very muddy, all I could taste was dirt like they had not been rinsed. Also were more brown than red, I've never experienced a more dirty crawfish and would have loved these had they been cleaned or rinsed properly. Also got dinner salad and some catfish bites. The salad was weird, the blue cheese dressing was super watery and the salad was just spinach, no other toppings, not good. My husband cannot eat spinach so I wish this choice of green was listed on the menu. The catfish bites I had hoped for better quality, these were more scraps than nuggets. Service was great! Cool dark ambiance inside, I wanted to love this but was really let down by the food today read more

LOVE IT here! I'm a sucker for a quaint dive bar, and this place certainly delivered. The bar and the servers have a lot of personality. The menu is massive!!! so much that it was difficult to pick but I have no regrets about my selections. I tried crab fingers for the first time and they were not what I expected, but everything I wanted! The oysters were amazing too. And I typically don't like alligator bites, but the broiled versions were perfect!!! I will definitely stop when I return to town. read more

Food was decent no where near what it used to be. Service on the other hand is a different story. Our server Breann was awful. She had no personality whatsoever and never once was nice. We didn't even get the seafood gumbo that we ordered at the same time as a salad, which did come out. We also asked for an extra side of turbo seasoning, a second pair of crab crackers, and the hush puppies which we never received. The waters we were first given also had black specs in, which the food runner replaced for us. Have loved this place for years and always came in to see Dustin, who was amazing! As a server and bartender I am disappointed in the service we received. read more

This is a hidden gem - for sure! The restaurant is filled with trinkets and pictures plastered all over the wall. They've got plenty of TVs so can easily be a great sports bar as well. The menu has everything you could want, from fish, to gumbos, to boils, and everything in between. The food was solid! We'll deff be back! read more

Not even trying to be funny but i feel robbed mind you we're foodies eat all around the metroplex . 1. We came for lunch they had an advertisement for a $19.00 N.Y. strip my husband doesn't like seafood and we do so thought that would be good for him . Get there mind you the social media post was posted two days ago so he just got the regular dinner one . It was $44 (price was not on menu so we were surprised )not seasoned mostly fat . He asked for extra seasoning they gave him a seasoning cup . 2. Service was really slow . Waitress checked on us maybe 20 min into visit and then may 25 min after we already done eating . I asked her could the bartender make a certain drink and she said no we can only make what's on the menu . lol 3. The lady in the front regardless of her age was very short and rude . She should not be in the front greeting people . 4 . My bill at the end was $167 i have depend less at a high end steak house my daughter did get a seafood boil but even then the sausage tasted like ekcridge sausage and her shrimp were overcooked . Then for yall to upcharge to get a specific seafood boil seasoning is outrageous I don't paying good money for matching food and service . I could have went to Razzoo's and gotten food the same quality for a way better price . read more

Love love Nate's! Have been going for years and always good. Always a friendly crowd with regulars at the bar. Met my husband for a couple drinks and appetizers recently. Service was great as always, just had the Shrimp Cocktail which was AMAZING! Shrimp so fresh and meaty and I love their cocktail sauce which has extra horseradish:) ordered the Shrimp Embroche the first order came out fried with the bacon too crunchy, they gladly put in another order for us to broil, which was better, but in my opinion bacon was still crunchy:/ love their garlic bread and hushpuppies, but the hush puppies were a lil too greasy this time.. No worries will still return when I have a hankering for Cajun food! read more

I'm from Baton Rouge, Louisiana and the Cajun food here is no good. The complimentary bread sticks and hushpuppies were good. It goes downhill from there. The fried catfish nuggets were bland. The seafood gumbo was disgusting. The roux was burnt to hell. My table got 3 cups of gumbo, and only 1 cup tasted good (the rest had burnt roux). I don't understand why the cook doesn't taste his gumbo to make sure it tastes edible. I got a seafood platter. The fried catfish was ok. The crab cake was good, but a little bland. It did taste homemade at least. The fried oyster was nasty and the breading was bland and falling apart. The jambalaya was very tomato-y (I guess it's creole and not Cajun jambalaya). If you've ever had real Cajun food before, this place will not be up to your standards. They can't season seafood right, and their gumbo roux is burnt most of the time. read more

What a lively and fun place. The food is extremely good but very spicy so be sure to be aware of the Cajun undertone. The service is always good and it's very loud and fun. Lots of people usually.

Nate's Seafood & Steakhouse is a must. I went the other day with my best friend, & the food did not disappoint. Yes, it's a bit of a drive but it's absolutely worth it. It has that true mom & pop, hole in the wall vibe, & that's part of the charm. I genuinely enjoyed myself and I'll definitely be back. They have a great lunch menu as well. Our waitress, Chris, was amazing, honest about the menu, full of recommendations, & just overall great energy. The food was flavorful with generous portions. The place was clean, the aroma of fresh food cooking hit as soon as we walked in, and the staff greeted us right away. My only issue was with the crab, there were a few shell pieces in it. The crabmeat could've been picked a little better, especially in my stuffed shrimp. It wasn't terrible, just noticeable. Other than that? The taste was 10/10. Also, the alcohol beverages were good too. read more

Love it. Food has changed lately don't know why??! Please get back on track..30+ years We don't like change especially bad. Seafood gumbo...really dark burnt and rise crap bag shrimp suck! Fried shrimp...what the?? heavy soggy breading in weird. Nate will regroup. (even wait staff agreed with me). read more

I had heard a lot about this place and wanted to try. The food was excellent and tasty. The only negative of the food were the sweet potato fries. They were very thin and small so it was very hard to taste them. The snow crab and the fried oysters were fantastic, very tasty and generous portions. Our waitress was very friendly and guided us with her recommendations. The food came very fast and even though the place was crowded, it didn't take us more than 15 minutes to get seated. I'm definitely coming back again. read more

Pretty good seafood boil! The taste of the gator was good but it was some of the chewiest I've had. I enjoyed the redfish, it was seasoned well and the blackened shrimp that came on top were delicious! My boyfriend didn't like the seafood pasta, the sauce was kinda heavy on the tomato and not what we were expecting. This restaurant is pretty busy and parking is really limited so that was a bit frustrating. read more

We got a great deal for our party of two. I was craving a seafood boil, we ordered the Crab Combo with additional shrimp. The half pound orders always leaving you wanting more so the additional shrimp was a bonus. They did provide an additional amount of sausage. The only downside is our mix choice of adding the rub and the dipping sauce. It was extremely salty and so hard to eat with an already spiced sausage. The turbo heat was super good but as mentioned the overwhelming amount of spice took away from the meal entirely. The starter bread is not bad just don't hold off on eating it since its drenched in butter, once cold it tastes bad and mushy. I would return, great service and atmosphere. I just hope the consistency of a good meal outweighs the bad days. Seafood boils are not cheap and need to made good every time. read more

It's really hard for me to leave this review. I just moved back to Dallas and prior to move this was my favorite spot. The food was not cooked well. My waitress with braids seemed angry and irritated to serve us. She had guests in back disrupting out dinner. It's very sad because the place was almost empty which is rare. I raved about this place to my business partner. He was just as disappointed as I was. read more

Great food and service! Definitely authentic to Cajun food. Never disappoints, we absolutely love this place.

This will always be my go to spot for crawfish. Their main dishes are also good but I always save room to savor all the crawfish I can. I like how they don't bathe their crawfish is a lot of butter and garlic like other seafood places. They keep it simple with their touch of seasoning and it's so good. I always order their turbo heat with extra on the side... for those who like spicy. I also really enjoy their hush puppies and garlic bread that they serve as appetizer. It is scrumptious and so unhealthy, but you cannot get enough! The hush puppies have the exact texture and a sweet taste to the them. The only downside to this restaurant is parking. On the weekends when it's busy they offer valet, but even then you have to fight for a spot and wait can be long so I'd recommend going when it's not rush hour. read more

Everything was good. They seemed to have a little trouble on spiciness of crawfish. All pretty bland but still good.?

Nate's consistently offers good cajun seafood and cuisine at a price that's slightly less than that of Pappadeaux. The staff is always friendly and the service is very good. I'm a fan of the gater bites, the shrimp, oysters, the gumbo, and the dirty rice. I have not had a boil here yet, but it's on my list. Every time I come here, I see other people eating the boils, and they always look great! This place is a bit of a dive so it's very casual and no frills, but a good casual dining spot with good food. If you're into salads, don't get the blue cheese dressing. You'll be disappointed as it tastes watered down. Also, not a fan of having valet when this place has plenty of parking in its private parking lot. read more
