The service was okay, but I've been grading on a huge curve during the pandemic. If you can come and risk your life so I don't have to cook garlic bread, not gonna bitch about you forgetting something. I am concerned that the kitchen may or may not be all microwaves. The food was all on par with the "free breakfast" at a Holiday Inn Express. The "lump" crab cakes definitely were made at a large processing facility and were devoid of all taste and flavor. They were these soggy, sausage patty sized discs of culinary defeat with pre bagged dipping sauce. No way I'm calling that a remoulade. I've seen larger portion sizes for the $16 crawfish Étouffée in a jar of baby food. It was okay, but for that portion size that better make you wanna slap yo mama. My mates seafood enchiladas had the presentation and execution of a baby doing the cooking. I noticed most of the clientele were septuagenarian and octogenarians and anecdotal experience has shown this demographic is just happy to be out of the house! Good food or not. I'd have to be extremely famished and all of the neighboring food establishments in a 5 mile radius would have to be closed, gas stations included, for me to return here. read more

Maaaannnn oh man! We have missed Rockfish!! We had The Bomb for an appetizer and they were absolutely delicious!! Ooey, gooey, hot and fresh! The perfect combination of cheese, green onion, bacon, shrimp pieces were so good that we were fighting for the last one. The onion petals were the icing on the cake! My husband had the shrimp poboy and absolutely loved it. I had the Santa Fe tacos, extra aioli and they were *chef's kiss!* We cannot wait to go back soon! read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Houston, but their service isn't the best at times. The last time I was there I got a fried seafood platter with fried fish & shrimp and French fries & hutch puppies. It was good as usual; very crunchy and flavorful. I always get the blueberry crème brûlée, but I was informed that they took it off the menu. My family and I all ordered alcoholic beverages. For some reason, the waitress only wanted to check my ID. I laughed and questioned why she didn't check anyone else. She went on to say it was company policy, blah blah blah. I let her check my ID. After all that nonsense, she forgot to bring me my drink. They're not always this unprofessional, but they do disappoint me sometimes. All and all, the food taste great! read more

Delicious good and good atmosphere! My wife and loved the taste of the deferent dishes and we tried a lot during our many visits there.

Ken was fantastic the food A-MAZING!! we will be back, everything was so delicious. The staff knew we were first timers and made sure we were taken care of read more

Rockfish Seafood & Grill - Atlantic Salmon - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

Service was average and I was excited for the food after hearing great reviews but unfortunately our experience did not live up to the hype. My husbands redfish was good but his sides (red beans and rice and creamed corn) were not seasoned at all. I got the 12 piece shrimp & corn with their house/combo seasoning. The shrimp was very over cooked. We also shared the clam chowder which was okay. All in all nothing to rave about, happy we crossed it off our list! read more

Had their Fish and chips, but switched fries out for cream corn was great, we will be back and try something else. My wife had rainbow trout she loved it. It's close by and been here years ago and we forgot it" . Will not forget about it again. read more

NYE dinner, I had redfish etoufee and my wife had the crab and artichoke stuffed salmon. Wow that was great! We started with some of the better calimari we have had in a while. The key lime was wonderfully tart and fresh to cap it all off - it tasted like the genuine Key West stuff! Been to this place many times and it's always good but tonight they outdid themselves - kudos guys!! read more

Last Night for Dinner, we went out and Celebrated a 252nd Monthiversary with friends of ours, Earl & Mary Ann. It's not theirs, or ours, but 'Rockfish Seafood Grill' (Champions). It's their '21st Anniversary' and they advertised some Specials that we are taking advantage of ... $2.00 Margaritas ... and of course some Food Specials. My Wife had a really busy day from early in the morning until the time we left for dinner. We met Earl & Mary Ann at Rockfish at 5:30 pm and they already had a booth ... the really nice Round One in the corner. My Wife and I ordered our Frozen Margaritas, which our Server, Jennifer, brought out pretty quick (guess she knew we were thirsty). We toasted with our Friends and wished Rockfish 'Happy 21st Anniversary'. These Frozen Margaritas are Strong on the Lime and are Very Lime-ee-licous ... with a Kick. We Love That. After we drank those, we looked over the menu and decided to order Appetizers. 'Jalapeno Hush Puppies' ($1.00) all around, served with Whipped Butter .. we also ordered another round of Frozen Margaritas. Those Hush Puppies arrived really fast and are served in a Boat Dish consisting of 7 of those Puppies. They are Fried Perfectly and really Spiced up with those Jalapenos ... Nice Heat and Delicious. As we were eating those, we looked over the menu and the three of them ordered the 'Shrimp Basket'; Fried & Grilled; with Crispy Fries, Apple Cider Slaw & Jalapeno Hush Puppies. I am having the 'Cajun Pasta'; Grilled Shrimp & Chicken, Andouille Sausage, Onions, Peppers, Penna Pasta with Cajun Cream Sauce and Garlic Bread. While we waited for our food, we drank more of those Frozen Lime-ee-licous Margaritas and ate the rest of the Jalapeno Hush Puppies ... and that Whipped Butter is Good Dipping. Rockfish is now packed with people throughout the Restaurant and the Bar .. and it looks like everyone is drinking a Margaritas. In a pretty short time, our food arrived and those Shrimp Baskets look really tasty. They all Loved'em. My Wife usually orders Grilled, but tonight asked for them Fried and she said they were Delicious ... lots of Flavor and a Very Tasty Breading. I had some of the French Fries and they are Seasoned with Deliciousness ... really good stuff. My Cajun Pasta is in a pretty big bowl and the Aroma is making me hungry. This is Spicylicious ... and a lot of Spice it is, with lots of Shrimp & Chicken ... and that Andouille Sausage adds just the right Flavor to this already Delicious Dish. I made the Perfect Choice for Dinner ... and I ate all of it by myself ... I didn't share. My Mommy would not of liked that, but she would of understood. This was a spur of the moment decision to eat at Rockfish and we are glad we did. Rockfish sent out an e-mail the evening before and we knew we were going to have a really busy day but decided to squeeze it in anyway ... glad we did, and glad our friends were able to meet us there. Our Server, Jennifer, was Great and earned the Dollar-Bow-Tie Award and that she is going to save it. Other Servers, the Chef and even the Manager and an Assistant stopped by our table and spoke with us ... nice touch. A Big Round of Applause for all the Rockfish Staff ... Thank You for all that you do, dinner was Delicious as were the Margaritas. One way to find out about any Rockfish Specials is to sign up with them to receive their e-mails and/or texts. They do have lots of Specials they run and you don't know when ... so, get ready to enjoy a Spontaneous Meal. You will be glad you did. Check-em out on-line ... and on Facebook; Rockfish Seafood Grill ... and choose the one close to you. When we returned home my Wife was ready for a good nights sleep ... and that she did. Love You Baby. read more

By far, the BEST raw oysters I've ever had, hands down! They are also the BIGGEST! Everything i've eaten here has been excellent. Highly recommend this business. read more

One of my favorite spots to eat. I love their boiled shrimp all in flavor. They have a few other dishes that are pretty tasty too!

I've spent about $130 here in the last two weeks via DoorDash. It was worth every bite! I've had the rockfish appetizer, shrimp & grits, and Cajun pasta. Everything was excellent. Well seasoned & piping hot, even with the delivery. My son enjoyed the kids fried shrimp & fries, too. We are new to Houston & look forward to dining in once things are closer to normal again. If you're on the fence- definitely eat here. You will not be disappointed! read more

Amazing food and even more amazing server Ken. He was super friendly and informative and very attentive. The food was incredible and the ambiance very chill. My new favorite eats. read more

Waited 50 mins for Togo dinner which wasn't complicated. Service is terrible. Extremely short staffed. Pass on ever returning

Rockfish has some great staples that are always delicious - fried shrimp po-boy, gumbo, any salad with their shallot Vinaigrette and pecan crusted trout with rockin green beans (these are SO delicious- who knew green beans could be craveable!) Love the big windows - always a great experience. read more

The grilled salmon was awful!!!!! Dry and over cooked and tough! The green beans were over cooked and burnt and cry and the red beans and rice had no flavor!!! I asked for peach tea and I got some weird tasting tea! Y'all food was not at all what I expected! I will not order from Y'all again!!!! Yuk! Take more pride in your cooking! read more

Love this place! It's our go-to place for seafood in Houston. Great hometown oceanfront vibe (without the ocean).

Rockfish has started doing monthly seafood promotions and advertising via Facebook. The one day a month shrimp special is a dozen shrimp with corn and potatoes for $7.99. For some reason for a seafood place, they always overcook the boiled shrimp. However, the once a month four day dungeness crab special is perfect. It was $23 and now $24 but worth it and very delicious. We love the all in spice which is a combination of garlic butter, nitro and lemon pepper. Salty and spicy. Hmmm mmmm The service is really friendly and we have made rockfish a regular place to come bi weekly. Also if you don't like corn and potatoes you can substitute a side. We love the green beans with bacon and onions or the asparagus. read more

Rockfish Seafood & Grill - Coupon!!! - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

I love this restaurant. The food is always great. The drinks are too. I would eat here everyday if I could.

Rockfish Seafood Grill, located on Cypress Creek Parkway, formerly known as FM 1960, has been in business for several years. Throughout the time they have been serving the community, the food has continued to improve but the service has been on the downslide. However, do not let the service prevent you from stopping by and experiencing their offerings. The food definitely makes up for their poor service. Recommendations: Seafood enchiladas - enchiladas stuffed with shrimp, salmon, peppers, onions, and cheese. Topped with a delicious crab cream sauce and served over a bed of rice. Fried green tomatoes - well seasoned, served piping hot, and served with a tasty creole mustard sauce. Key lime pie - although it is slightly overpriced considering the small portion it is consistently delectable. read more

Rockfish Seafood & Grill - Well seasoned fried green tomatoes with a side of creole mustard sauce. - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

The customer service here is always amazing, and the food is always exquisite! I've been coming here for years now and I love how the menu is constantly changing depending on the season. The tilapia special is always a must, they have so many different flavors and combinations that you can choose from. Sometimes they don't have an item on the menu that I love and they accommodate and make it for me at my request if they have the ingredients available. Another fave of mine is the baja shrimp tacos with the side of rice. And for the days where I'm feeling healthier foods I go with the Asian salad and add the baja shrimp on top, never fails! read more

My Dad and I ate here today. We both ordered the same thing. Crab stuffed blackened fish. The fish tasted really fishy to me. About 45 minutes after getting home, we both got sick. It's been so awful. Will never go here again and do not recommend it. read more

The shrimp and grits were great. I also got the clam chowder and it was good too! Would recommend!

The wait staff was very attentive and polite. My guest ordered fried fish, and I ordered boiled shrimp with a hurricane. It was delicious and I really enjoyed the spicy seasoning I requested on the side. read more

Food is very good. We ordered Catfish & Salmon dishes and both were delicious. The server was nice and helpful. The reasons why I'm giving 3 stars are: The interior decoration & furniture look dated and the place needs renovation. The silverware were wrapped in old/worn looking dusty napkins. read more

Pleasant people, greeted us immediately. Comfortable atmosphere. I had the jalapeño soup, very tasty and flavorful followed by Shrimp and grits. Yummy! Husband had the clam chowder and loved it along with Fish and Chip that he always enjoys. Recommend this place. read more

1st timer... I went in with the expectation of boring over priced cuisine, but was I wrong! The service was friendly and pleasant. The menu was clear and informative ...process were surprisingly reasonable. Reason for the surprise because for process that nice the food was even more pleasing. I had the Cajun Stuffed Flounder with Ponchatrain sauce on rice pilaf and a side of sautéed spinach! This dish was so flavorful and plentiful I couldn't believe it. I'm normally one not to order a desert but this experience was so nice I indulged. Besides I could afford both with those prices! Long story short ...I will be back Rockfish! You can count on that! read more

Good food! Came in on a Saturday afternoon and service was decent. They should probably invest in ceiling fans because both servers were sweaty and it was quite disturbing. The restaurant has an old diner type of feel to it due to its decor however I thought the name of the restaurant would call for a more contemporary setting. I thought about ordering crawfish but our server said it was just OK and not spicy enough so I opted to order ravioli instead. I cleaned my plate and so did my lunch date! The menu here is full of other gems I'd like to try. read more

Rockfish Seafood & Grill - This was either crawfish or lobster ravioli... I can't remember. 'Twas yummy though! - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

Great food and great service. We started off with an appetizer and Bella recommended The Bomb and it was the bomb af! Very very good. After that we each had the snow crab platters (added in sausage). It was more than enough food! The crab was deliciously sweet and fairly meaty (for snow crab). We ordered ours with the garlic butter sauce plus the Nitro seasoning...holy crap that Nitro is no joke! It was hot, but we liked that! To top off our experience, Bella made our evening very enjoyable. She joined right in with our jokes and laughs and made it a very fun evening! We will definitely return! read more

As usual, i only review places that i've been to more than once, in this case, more than i can count on one hand. Never had a 5 star experience, but have never had less than a 3 star time. This location prides themselves on cleanliness and upholds a most comforting and modest opulence. On the strip of Champions Forest, Rockfish stands out with their neon lights and big glass windows through which you can see the magic stirring inside. Seafood Gumbo is a must for any seafood restuarant menu, i've had better but they stand above average with ease. Remember, my blood's creole, i can eyeball a front. Their fish will have you nibbling your nubs after you finish eating. Plainly, there's nothing on the menu that's not worth trying & being satisfied with the style, taste, and texture. The chefs here are very engaged per my experiences. There sits a bar that has nice projection screens so "you can watch wuttevah you liiiike." Let a staff mem know & they're prompt about their service A to Z. Cant tell you much about the drinks. Cant lie about the best times to visit, i've never had to wait to be seated for 2. If you know me well, you'll know that i dont make promises, but i confidently say this is a great spot to take your date if you're in the area. Rockfish & Roll! read more

Rockfish Seafood & Grill - Rockin' with the Besst - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

I sat here trying to come up with a reason to not give this place a five star rating. But I couldn't. When I rate restaurants, I rate based on that type of restaurant. I don't compare Rockfish to Perry's or James coney island. That having been said, I tried Rockfish years ago and wasn't that impressed. Recently however, I have come to really like this place. I absolutely love the shrimp and grits. Their salads are above standard. The gumbo is good. It isn't like some gumbo I have had (or make) but it's good. The staff is,,,, cool is the best word I can come up with. I asked our waitress to help me decide between the shrimp and grits or cajun pasta. Her advice was brilliant. "Get the grits this time and pasta the next.". Simplicity in its truest form. Inside is nice. Peaceful and quiet. I'm sure that's because of covid. I saw a lot of take out orders being picked up. In short, this place is a much overlooked alternative to mexican food and sorta italian food. For years, I snobbishly avoided it. Now it's a regular. I definitely highly recommend it. read more

The family went to Rockfish for dinner a couple nights ago. The location (mini mall) and decor (somewhat diner-esque) left me not knowing what to expect. However, we all had a wonderful meal! We started out with some drinks, since it was still happy hour, and the jalapeno hushpuppies, which were good with some spice. I got blackened ahi tuna for dnner, and it was an incredibly high quality piece of fish, seared raw perfectly. I enjoyed the two sides, mashed potatoes and asparagus, but found the bed of rice it was on redundant since you get the other sides. My husband enjoyed his mahi-mahi quite a bit, one son had the fish and chips (quite a large portion), the other had the crab cake dinner, which I snuck a bite of and found it to be good with a lot of crab and little filler. The service was good and the prices very reasonable. We will certainly be back! read more

Sometimes I feel weird reviewing big chains...but, I'll get over it. This place is pretty decent for "chain" seafood. It's definitely a notch above Red Lobster. I tried their roasted red pepper crab bisque...yum! It was a bit steep pricewise (~$4) but so creamy and very tasty, nonetheless. I had been here before and tried the creamy jalapeno-whatever soup and enjoyed that as well. There's just something about cream and soup that go very well together. This time for my entree I had the stuffed flounder with the stuffing of crab/shrimp/sausage/crackers (~$11). I subbed skillet potatoes instead of rice, which they so readily allow. It was pretty delicious--I'm a sucker for stuffed seafood. They took a really big piece of flounder and folded it in half and filled it with a nice amount of stuffing. The same type of thing from Red Lobster is kind of sad in comparison. I don't mean to hate on R.L. (love the cheddar bay biscuits), I'm just using them to help judge. The potatoes were pretty good as well. They actually have a plethora of sides that look really appealing so it's hard to pick just one. My bf had a sandwich with blackened catfish and waffle fries and veggies. The sandwich was really good too, the tartar sauce was great. It might seem strange to comment on the sauce, but it had dill in it or something. Really liked it. Our server was really nice and friendly, he didn't try and rush us out of there or anything. While it's not the cheapest or most awesome seafood ever, it is still pretty dang tasty and definitely a good place to go if you've been craving seafood. They have a lunch menu for the weekdays which is more affordable and has a good selection of food. One strange thing about the menu, all the prices are really odd numbers (like $11.41 or something). We wondered if that would add up with the tax to come out to whole numbers...nope. read more
