Service didn't even deserve a 1 star! Worst experience with seafood ever! Shrimp was cold and rubbery. Slaw was bitter tasting. Hush puppies were stale. Even the waitress was not on her job had to ask for refills and silverware! And to top it off they didn't want to make it right! When I asked to speak to the manager I was told he was on break. Your the manager you can help a customer and then go back to break? We were a party of 6 and you just lost 6 customers! read more

Great Seafood!!! I grew up calling restaurants like this one Fish Camps. I deeply recommend to get your fish salt and peppered, it takes the taste to an entire new level! read more

Good food and I enjoy the fish and popcorn shrimp bake potato or sweet potato delicious

I ordered the broiled red snapper from this place and it was the most horrible fish that I have ever had. I have never had red snapper that was this tough. It was like trying to chew a piece of rubber and I have never had it come with dark nasty fishy tasting meat attached. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else! read more

There food is amazing. The restaurant has such an amazing feel to it with a southern swag to it. The hospitality is magnifique. I got a chance to grab some takeout on 3/7/2021 read more

Since the tornado came thru we have to travel a little farther to eat seafood. Our local spot was damaged and won't be opened for several months. My wife wanted a bowl oyster stew, I had a craving for some shrimp.All though we never viewed the ocean any where we did get something caught from it. Once in the door we where seated very quickly. This place was crowded.I think if it could swim or walk they cook it. A bowl of hush puppies were brought out to our table with our drinks.A salad bar, blooming onion, shrimp cocktail was one of many appetizers could be had before than main dish.My wife's oyster stew was a huge bowl, very hot but had little bitty oyster's which I ate for her.She just like's the stew. My shrimp plate was good and a plenty. Most plates looked pretty full we saw being delivered. I work near by, sometimes we get a family pack from here. 20 pcs baby flounder, 6 baked potato's, a box of hushpuppies and a bag of slaw,tarter sauce,butter and sour cream. Not a bad deal for 20 bucks. we'll feed 10 to 11 people off of 2 orders easily. Good family style atmosphere,good service.good food. read more

The last time I visited the restaurant I basically got to build my own platter due to my allergies and dislike for coleslaw. I probably should have written a review. But this time I couldn't substitute the coleslaw for hush puppies or get the large platter without one of the choices (because I'm allergic to it). I would rather have a customer spend more than tell them no we can't substitute for your allergy, but the loss is on them.. I guess that policy works but I won't be pressed to visit again for a while. I might drive to Greensboro and visit Libby Hill instead. read more

Just got seafood platter, cant say enough about this place, good service, laid back atmosphere. Went there after spending the day on High Rock Lake fishing. A local fisher lady told us about it. I currently live in Maryland and in my opinion this place had better to offer as far as seafood. The seafood platter size looks as if it came off the set of MAN vs Food, and for only $10.30...... I forgot to post this review, but was talking about this place to a co worker. It's definitely worth a trip to if in the local area. read more

Very pleasant experience. The place was clean and neat, the waitress was friendly and polite, the food was good, and the prices were fair, (a little better than fair). Will be back if we are ever in this area again. read more

Never really understood why people really flock here like they do. I mean this is the same stuff that comes to the barbecue places around here. Simple Frozen Seafood off of food service trucks. They are still open for to-go orders during the virus outbreak. Stop by here got a simple flounder and shrimp combination did not notice any difference from the barbecue places. Really more expensive also then the barbecue places. In fact I would have to write the Village Cafe in downtown Lexington for having better Seafood. I remember when I ate in here they do have really great waitresses. And the owner is very courteous here. Wish it was from the seafood trucks from the coast and not the food service trucks like every establishment is doing in town. But the locals flock to this place quite frequently. I really can't say they get my three C's of restaurant excellence. They lose out on cost-effectiveness can be a little pricey here. But cleanliness, and great customer service are here. Nothing Captain Fantastic. But worth a try. read more

Just ate, was not pleased with the food at all but we ate it. The shrimp was mushy, the baked potato was not hot, My flounder was just fried but mushy. The hush puppies were not very warm. Have ate here before and was better. read more

Service has gotten poorer and poorer. The food was great, over the past several months we have 1.Had a waitress come back and ask us what we ordered??? Isn't that the primary job of a waitress? 2. Had a waitress tell us her life story, not sure why. We just wanted dinner. 3. Then today (Mother's Day), we waited and waited for our drinks for the last to join our table 20 minutes, salad bowls finally arrived after the entree. I had to demand the salad bowls. Our waitress did not check on our refills until we were ready to leave. First day maybe? Again our food was excellent, they really need to work on the service side if the management is interested at all. read more

Best seafood in town. You definitely get large portions, affordable, clean, friendly, fast service

In the past food was ok today popcorn shrimp was like eating hard pretzels. I have never eaten shrimp that hard.If I had wanted crispy I would have asked for it. read more

Great food. The fish is very fresh. Very clean casual restaurant.

Deep fried seafood, that taste like mush! The service was excellent, however we just couldn't get over the poor quality of the food. We won't be going back. read more

The food is good but nothing that makes it stand apart from any other seafood restaurant. They get only 2 stars because I detest Margarine. I asked the waitress for real butter and was told that had none on the premises. I will likely not be returning here because of this. read more

The seafood is amazing, the staff is awesome and it's CLEAN. The management also took care of a simple mishap with our order with sincerity! Love this place and will definitely be back! read more

Sam at Ocean View is awesome I look forward to seeing her smiling face when I pick up my to-go orders every week.

Great little (not so little inside) family dinner place. Clean, great service, good food, ample portions, options beyond fried seafood. We were very pleased and I would not hesitate to come again. Helpful hint; save some time for a nap after dinner. read more

Loves this seafood, only complaint I would have is when ordering take out they need to come up with a different way to pack the fries, they put everything on top and the fries are not good and soggy. read more

I have 2 problems with Ocean View, they don't deliver and they don't have a stoplight in front.The food is good and the people friendly. If they moved to the other side of town, the wouldn't need delivery. Great restaurant!! read more

While I love the seafood, I was surprised to call in an order of a 3-item combo yesterday to pick up and told the lady I wanted to come in to pick up and make a salad bar to go. Cannot do that. The owner does not allow that. Well, that makes no cents -- and yes, I meant to write that as such -- because it makes no sense not to allow someone to make a salad bar to go. If someone is eating in and they order a salad bar with a meal, chances are they may go back 2-3 times. Someone picking up take-out: it's a one-time trip to the salad bar. Needless to say I canceled the pick-up order. Many folks are single -- younger and older -- and do not want to come in and dine alone. You should consider this. When you change this policy, let me know here and I will be back. read more

Very disappointed with the food!!!! Crabs legs cold baked potato brought out after meal poor response from manager I would never recommend this place to eat!!!!! read more

I wholeheartedly agree with Christopher!!! They served us some kind of horrible whitefish and lied and said it was Canadian Flounder. I sent it back, and they took off of our bill, because I order the flounder with shrimp. So they charged me for a shrimp dinner instead, We didn't save that much, and the shrimp wasn't good. We will never never go back. The fish I ordered didn't resemble any kind of flounder I'd ever had! read more

We found this restaurant while taking a weekend drive to see High Rock Lake. It looked like our kind of place but it was closed. We came back yesterday for dinner and found we were absolutely right! Inside the restaurant they have a water feature that was neat, along with a casual nautical theme typical of most seafood restaurants. It was clean and we were seated quickly. The waitress was nice and attentive to our needs. My wife ordered the large two item combination of fried catfish and clam strips and I had the two item half size combination of perch and clam strips. We were given a bowl of hushpuppies to snack on while we waited, which were tasty. Our meal arrived soon after hot and fried to perfection. The large combination was huge and even the half size was a plenty, so we both took home leftovers. The prices were on par with the same meal at any other seafood restaurant we have dined at. It was a great experience overall and we will definitely return! read more

place smells damp, seafood is fried and tasteless (no seasoning at all). asked for a knife that was sharp because food was so hard to cut, did not get one,, wanted real butter for mashed potatoes was told the oil spread was butter. parking lot is always full portions are large, just don't understand the appeal. read more
