Saw an Instagram ad for their $1 Cajun Oysters on Thursdays. Looks awesome and a local Family owned business so I wanted to support. Went there with my wife and daughter and had a great time. 30 oysters, 2 bowls of the butter steamed clams and 3 beers ! Service gas fast and very friendly even though they were busy. There were TVs for Raiders football and beers on tap. The restaurant has a lot of charm to it and the ambiance was nice. Felix , the person I saw in the Instagram ad came out to say hello and I got a Lucy with him. Fix suggested the Lobster plate in addition too for next time.
Rosy's Fish City has been on my food destination list for a while. I absolutely love supporting small local restaurants, take me to any hole-in-the-wall as long as the food is great... sadly this place was a miss for me. I'm hoping it was an off day or maybe I just didn't order the right thing. We came on a weekday night with the family, spacious dining area with lots of seating. Restaurant was clean and we were greeted warmly. We ordered the fish tacos, clam chowder, garlic bread and the fish and chips plate. Everything just didn't taste right and we weren't impressed. It's not that it wasn't fresh, it just left a coating of oil in our mouth and the food didn't taste seasoned. The clam chowder was chalky and lumpy, the fish and chips didn't have a crisp bite, and the coleslaw was a hot mess. The garlic bread was hard as a rock, I think only one slice out of the whole basket was edible. The fish tacos were basic but not tasty. The quality of the food was lacking and I'm so sad because I really wanted to love it here. Our bill felt pricey for what we were served and the majority of our group would not come back. I'd like to give it another try and see if maybe I order something else if I'd change my mind, but for now, this place did not live up to the hype.
Showed up on Saturday, right at noon service was phenomenal young lady that waited on us explained the menu and what are the favorites and popular items, started off of crabcakes very crispy sauce was great. Anything fried is fantastic. Portions were good. Grabbed their well cooked mashed potatoes were flavorful, bacon, green onions., the other half she got the lobster tail clam chowder and shrimp plate. Everything was flavored great portion clam chowder was on fire that day. Fantastic service was perfect. Pricing was perfect. Will be looking forward to going again.
The good : Customer service is friendly Lots of seating available inside Plenty of parking available Credit card and debit card accepted They do offer lunch specials They do offer a discount if you are paying cash There are 2 TVs showing soccer game Prices are reasonable The bad: It's HOT INSIDE THIS RESTAURANT The server himself was sweating and that was gross $4 service fee for using a credit card (see receipt) Margarita was not good at all Food did not seem seasoned very bland I got the loaded clam chowder bowl/lobster bowl Paid $37 Clam chowder tasted like flour mixed with milk Lobster was not seasoned Shrimps are super tiny And I didn't except French fries in the bread bowl I came I ate I yelped On to the next
Tiktok shorts got me interested In this place. I went on a Monday for lunch. A lot of empty tables. Service was brisk though. I ordered the clam chowder bowl with lobster tail, beef nuggets, shrimp, and cheesy fries. My friend had the 2 fish tacos sandwich with fries. The clam chowder was bland and tasteless, not good. I did not try the bread bowl. The lobster tail was a pretty good size, and cooked perfectly, accompanied with butter oil. The shrimps tasted good with the cocktail sauce, but the few pieces of steak littered throughout the fries were too few, although they tasted good. The fries were smothered way too much with 2 different cheeses, and I had to peel the cheese off to enjoy the fries. My friend enjoyed the fried fish tacos with avocado, and were prepared with fresh ingredients. Ambiance wasn't the best, and the food was just average. I wouldn't come back again.
I was pleasantly surprised with the service and food during our visit. The waiter was over the top helpful and was ready to get us what we need when we asked. The ambiance was a bit off in this place, there is a random bar towards the back of the restaurant and a couple tvs scattered throughout. It was a bit dingy, but we didn't mind. We ordered the fish and chips. The fish was okay, but the fries were definitely overcooked. We also tried the fish tacos, they were very hearty! There was an abundance of fish and slaw on the taco. I apprecaited the tortillas that held up to the food and didn't fall apart. The potato wedges were good. They have an expansive menu, worth a trip back to check out something else.
Number One. The place was very clean the bathroom, very clean, loved it. I love when a restaurant is super clean. The Waitress, Very, hospitable and Very Attentive!! The food was very delicious cooked at profession. Well season well. Cooked simply loved it. It was our First time there. My Son and I. Another thing. It's not too pricey. I highly recommend this restaurant. I can't wait to go Again With My Husband.
Presentation wasn't the same in person as they show on instagram. Cost too much for the food to not have enough seasoning. Smells a lot like cleaning products and bleach. Can't smell the food being cooked at all.
Not too bad for a Friday evening! not busy at all, BUT as it later, 6ish it started to get busy with seems like the Regular Customers. This has been around for quite a while & I've been going here with my parents when I was little, I'm glad that it stayed in business even after Covid. This place is definitely a family oriented restaurant. Everyone that works in this place is super friendly & happy to answer any question you have about the menu, they re also On It with refilling & checking in on us to see if we're good & if we need anything. Lots to choose from on the menu, so it could be a little overwhelming but, I guess you'll have to go & know what your craving, that way you don't just start ordering everything and anything on the menu. The food very flavorful & pricing is not too bad for the portion sizes.
Finally got a chance to check this place out. The service was friendly but a little slow. There is ample parking in back. The interior is spacious with plenty of seating. We thought the claim chowder was just ok. The bread and the lobster was very good.
I kept seeing this place on Instagram and decided to give it a try. There's a large parking lot in the back, which is convenient. The restaurant itself is small, and seating is self-serve when you walk in. However, with minimal staff, service was noticeably slow. I ordered the clam chowder, Cajun crab, and pasta with vegetables. Unfortunately, the food didn't taste fresh, and the flavors were underwhelming. The crab had a strong, putrid ammonia smell, making it completely inedible. I sent it back and chose not to order anything else. My date had fish and chips with a side of clam chowder. The chowder in the bread bowl was decent, but the fish lacked seasoning--overall, just okay. We also ordered margaritas, which tasted like overly sweet Slurpees. The server later explained that they don't use hard liquor, only wine, which explained the odd slushy taste. It felt a bit misleading, but we paid and left. Overall, the experience was disappointing, and I wouldn't return.
Mom & pop Seafood spot right on Story Road. Lots of regulars come here, so you know it's good food. They have good music playing and there are many TVS to watch sports.
Finally got to go in and try Rosy's. I've only tried the fish and chips thru delivery and it was perfect for me. This time GF and I did dine in for lunch. We ordered one the lunch special which was an a seafood platter. It came with lobster tail, grilled beef nacho fries, shrimp, cheesy bread and clam chowder. Nothing on the platter to rave about it was just ok. I went for the fish and chips lunch special which fish is on point fries was ok. Rosy herself I believe served us and place is actually roomy, but doesn't seem so from outside.
Heard they have $1 Cajun oysters on Thursdays 3-9pm so decided to check them out! Service was great! They were very nice and friendly. Love the ocean decor on the walls. 2 big TVs to watch games. -Cheesy garlic bread was honestly soo good -Clam chowder was solid. I like how they add butter & cheese to the top part of the bread bowl, though it has a little more bite to it compared to the cheesy garlic bread -$1 oysters can't go wrong!! They also offer pico if you want They have other specials throughout the week too like $1 wings on Wednesdays 3-9pm read more
My mom recommended that we try this place because she saw it advertised a lot. Happy hour is where it's at! There's so many options to choose and the staff can help you navigate what to get. I've gotten some of their suggestions in additions to what I want. I eventually took my friends here too! read more

I've lived near for the past few years and I've always by this place. I decided to finally give this place a try. I love the complimentary garlic bread. Snapper Veracruz (3/5): This comes with a tomato sauce. I dislike tomatoes for it didn't sit too well with me, but the fish was good and great with the garlic bread. read more

We have been wanting to try this place and we finally did. There was plenty of parking in the back of the building. We were seated right away, but we went on a day that was 90 degrees and I am not sure if they have ac, but it was hot in there. I got a piña colada and it was good. The calamari was also good. The fish tacos were salmon, which was a first for me and the salmon was dry so I couldn't finish two of them. Since it was hot in there I couldn't enjoy the clam chowder, so I wouldn't know if it was good or not. The service was ok. When we got there, it was only one waiter. I will probably be back but get a different dish. read more

Visible from the busy street, Rosy's is well known in the neighborhood and for some the place to stop by for lunch or dinner. Rosy's has a large Menu that includes hot or cold seafood creations, pastas, steaks, caldos, veggies & chowder. We enjoyed the 7 Mares Caldo, Fish & Chips, and Clam Chowder so I can dip my toasted bread. On another occasion we shared the Fish & Chips family platter over some cold beverages. Gals work hard to take care of you while the chef is whipping up so good plates! Dining area can accommodate larger groups with family style platters and parking is located in the back. We will stop by again read more

Came here because TikTok hyped it up. Food was unseasoned and greasy. Seafood did not taste fresh. Had the fried calamari and the lobster steak clam chowder. Calamari did not taste fresh. The calamari was very hard and chewy. The lobster was overcooked and unseasoned. Shrimp was also unseasoned and greasy. There were bits of fatty dry steak that tasted like it was precooked and microwaved. French fries were also stale. The clam chowder did not taste like clam chowder and was also unseasoned. I doubt there were any clams in it. It was overpriced for the quality of the meal. read more
First time here and definitely not the last. Food, service and ambiance all exceeded my expectations. We went during brunch they offer a breakfast and regular menu . Food was very tasty and fresh. Plenty of parking in the rear. read more

Rosy's Fish City was a big disappointment. The pictures on Social Media made it looked good but the food was not what I expected. It was so random. The lobster dish on top of a bread bowl filled with fries, some shrimp and meat was so random. The clam chowder was too thick for my liking. And boyfriend's fish taco dish was so random. A plate of steamed broccoli, fries, a bowl of chowder and the fish tacos were salmon. We were not used to having salmon as the fish for fish tacos. Usually it would be some rock cod fish. The lettuce in the fish tacos were too much. No cilantro or anything to make it stand out. And the ceviche came out served in a plate and not in a bowl but the ceviche was the only thing I liked there. Overall, the food was ehh ok but will I be back again, I highly doubt it. read more

This place is definitely one of a kind. I really miss what it used to look like. I remember they had whole cakes in glass dishes on the counter and I wanna say they had an aquarium. I would go with my parents when I was small.The menu definitely has a lot of options. I have to go back to try some more dishes. I got the seafood pasta which was delicious and it also came with a cup of clam chowder with a side of garlic bread. As for the super Michelada this doubled as my appetizer. When I come here, it just feels like my childhood and has a very special place in my heart. read more
I saw a Tik Tok ad for this restaurant and decided to make a stop. The ambiance is what you would expect in a minimal cost seafood restaurant. The prices on the menu are surprisingly affordable. I ordered the oysters Rockefeller and a clam chowder bread bowl with fries. They had lobster and steak for $37, but I was not in the mood for that much food. The oysters Rockefeller were not that great. They were a little burnt and the sauce just didn't have the flavor I am used to for this dish. The clam chowder was not very flavorful, although the bread was tasty. I was actually disappointed with the chowder and did not finish. The service was pretty good and the waiter was friendly. I was hoping, for the price, this place would be a good option for seafood. However, the food was just not very enjoyable. read more

Ambiance is nice and spacious plenty of parking in the back. Service was quite short handed as there was only two and we had quite a bit in our group but also the restaurant filled up after an 40 minutes. It is definitely not their fault but we never got refills. It was difficult to get anything like sauces, lemon, or anything else. Food: clam chowder was very bland, fish sandwich had a THICK pieces of tomato and so it was more of a tomato sandwich then fish (bland as well), calamari had lots of chunks so there were parts that were crispy and some soggy. Potato wedges are random cuts of red potatoes fried and unseasoned. Not sure if I'll be back. read more
The seafood we had was pretty delicious! It was a special item, featured in their digital menu. We had a bred bowl with fries/stake/shrimp/lobster and clam chowder on the side. It's like a "surf n turf" with some extra items. We also had giant oysters as appetizers. Service was a bit slow but they were friendly. The restaurant filled up quickly around dinner time. read more
