Seafood Seller & Café delivered again. The crawfish were seasoned perfectly, and the shrimp‑and‑grits hit that rich, comforting spot without being heavy. The service was great from start to finish, and the price was right -- real value for quality food. This place stays at the top of my list. read more

This is the first time I've been at this restaurant and we were there celebrating my son's birthday. I highly recommend this place for the food and their service. Probably one of the best seafood restaurants I have ever eaten and the jalapeño cornbread was delicious. I also had a crabcake with a side salad and fried green tomatoes so good. If you want good food and fantastic service, you've got to go to seafood seller and Café. I will be returning. read more

Short 20 min wait, Our server Destiny was fabulous. Wife said the fried shrimp were perfect and the BOGO Crawfish and Oysters were great. I would skip the green onion on the steamed oysters next time though, they were an overpowering flavor but all in all, EXCELLENT read more

Pros: The food was really good. We had the crab balls appetizer which was excellent. I had the gumbo soup with a side of beans and rice and my wife had the blackened grouper dinner with a side of collard greens and red beans and rice. She said it's the best grouper she ever had. I would definitely return. Cons: Music was way too loud making conversation difficult. The wait staff was not very attentive. Glasses not refilled and used dishes left on the table and they did not check back at all. They need to work on this. This would have been a five star review had these things been remedied. Service is just as important as the meal. read more

Had a wonderful lunch experience here today. Thanks in part to Vanessa for her outstanding suggestions and southern charm service. She was great to help us out with the menu as it was our first time here. We're in Ocala frequently and we just learned of this place. Reminds us of Pappadeaux in Houston. Best seafood meal since being in Florida. We both had the stuffed flounder and it was loaded with crab!! Just amazing! Will return for sure. And those beignets -- felt like we were in The French Quarter. read more

Fast friendly service and unique ambiance sets this cajun restaurant above others. We started with a cup of gumbo. It was chunky and flavorful. I chose the fried oysters, medium fried. I've been eating oysters nearly my whole life and this was the first time I was I asked how I wanted them fried. They offer light, medium, and hard. My husband chose the catfish and it was hot, flaky, and perfectly spiced. We finished with the bread pudding. Yum! Will return for more! read more

Really enjoyed my meal. The gumbo has an authentic tasting roux. The onions were a little firmer than expected in the French Onion soup, but the broth was very tasty. Fish dip is amazing with a spicy kick. Sellers hot steamed shrimp is amazing! It's served with a a nice baguette to dip in the sauce they cook the shrimp in. It has beer, butter and Cajun seasoning. Wonderful! Service is good. read more

They also had a buy one dozen get one dozen free oyster special but the waitress did not know the species of the oysters when I asked, she said Texas so I passed.

Great food. Friendly service. Good vibes. We were finally able to make it to this place. We ordered the oysters with cheese and bacon, a pound of boiled shrimp and a shrimp poboy. Every thing was served hot and delicious. Our server was attentive and very nice. We will return to try some more things. read more

The food was bad. I had the red fish dinner. So disappointed.The service was horrible. The kid that brought the food leaned on top of the food. The manager insults those that make a review he doesn't like. Rude and very unprofessional. Silver Springs Blvd is in the process of improving. This business isn't it. read more

We stopped here for lunch because we wanted Perl and eat shrimp! They were delicious and then we ordered an entree of crawfish etoufee which the hubby and I split. It was our waitress' birthday and she recommended the pretzel brownie with chocolate ice cream which was great too! Give it a try! read more

Heard it's expensive ... not Good food and great service Price was not scary ... close to expected read more

I can't put my finger on it but this place is just a little awkward. The food is actually pretty good but there are no windows in the place, the decorations are cheap Mardi Gras themed and the waitresses, while they were very nice, were clearly not fluent on the menu. read more

I stopped in for lunch and was surprised how full the parking lot was. I always take a full parking lot at lunch time as a good sign. After bringing my water my waitress let me know that some customers find the blackened catfish salty sometimes. I appreciated her warning but ordered anyway. Parts were a little salty but balanced with the hot sauce perfectly. When I saw the fired okra it was lighter than I expected and I was a little worried. However, it was the perfect balance of batter allowing the flavor from the okra to still come through. I will definitely add Seafood Seller to my list of stops when I'm in the area! read more

Went to Cajon Jimmy's for our anniversary and honestly wish we had just stayed home. The whole night felt like an afterthought. The place was loud, the service was slow, and it definitely didn't feel like somewhere you'd want to celebrate something special. We waited forever for our food, and when it finally came it was pretty underwhelming. For an anniversary dinner you expect at least a little effort or atmosphere, but this just felt like any random stop on the side of the road. Kind of disappointing when you're trying to make a night memorable. Wouldn't recommend for a special occasion. read more

So happy Ocala finally has a great place like Seafood Seller! Most flavorful crawfish I've ever had everything was full of flavor and fresh!! Collard greens were to die for! The service was excellent and the restaurant its self is clean, relaxing and upbeat all in the same!! We love creole and cajun food and we can't wait to come back!! read more

The seafood seller Ocala is a very good casual Cajun seafood restaurant. The blue crab balls and boudin balls were excellent. The crab cake dinner was one of the best I have had. We also had blackened redfish and jambalaya. Our waitress Destiny was very good and helped us with menu. She was a pleasure to have as our waitress. read more

Delicious. Had a Crawfish Po'boy, it was piled high with crawfish as a side I took the red beans and rice, so good. I will be back. I have a soft spot for Cajun goodness. read more

We went there last night After being to their original location was eager to check it out. The restaurant is very nicely decorated, seating was limited as the restaurant is about 1 /2 the size as the original restaurant. There was a 25 minute wait. Once seated our server was very polite and friendly. She took our drink and appetizer order and they came to our table promptly. The oysters were delicious as well as our meals. The noise level was incredible low considering the restaurant was packed. Definitely worth a visit!! Sorry for no photos but we were having such a great time I forgot to take pictures. read more

Seafood Sellers was really good. It's more of a Louisiana base type food but everything I had was super to chowder was excellent. I suggested you go and enjoy yourself. read more

The food was great. Service was great. The price was reasonable. I don't live here, but if I did, I would eat here a lot. I got the fried shrimp, jambalaya and red beans and rice and everything was great! I'd highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Food is amazing. It's what all restaurants should strive to be . It's unique it's a great value and it has a wonderful atmosphere The only issue in my opinion is the location has gone through so many bad restaurants it gets overlooked easily. If you were to only judge customer service, quality and value its a perfect 5 read more

This place is awesome, and the food is to die for! I had the best seafood gumbo that I have ever had and don't even get me started on the fresh oysters. I'd heard some time ago that they have oyster specials now and then, buy one get one free kind of deal. I've gotta look into that because I will probably be there all day. They are also kind and very professional. The waitress was so nice. I also recommend the bloody Mary. It has huge shrimp in it as well. if I could eat at this place every day I would!!! read more

Friendly attentive staff and bartenders. Nice bar and dining area with booths and tables, nothing fancy. Plenty of parking. Food was good, freshly prepared and cooked to order. I'm probably spoiled from dining in New Orleans and Louisiana most of my life but the Cajun/Creole cuisine was nothing special. No complaints, just average in comparison. Prices are reasonable. A nice new place to dine on fresh seafood in Ocala. read more

food - so delicious! Service - attentive, friendly A casual, happy place No reservations so go planning to wait. That works! read more

Really good food, the grouper, the hogfish , the gumbo were all very good and the portions were satisfying. Not a lot of ambience but I will go back. Also, very good service. read more

Went here because the Crystal River location is amazing! Well this isn't the same unfortunatelyGator bites were alright. Got the grouper which was our fav, and it was overcooked and a little tough. Got the sellers shrimp which was recommended by the server, it was cold and the sauce was just plain butter.. asked for Cajun seasoning and she didn't bring it for around 15 mins, then I had to ask again, ugh!!! The hush puppies were the best thing we had!Sooo upsetting because we loved it when we ate in Crystal River ! $85 for a veryyyy MID dinner. Worth the drive to go to the other location for sure read more

Horrible customer service. We paid $20.00 for a dish we did not order. We were told to read the menu..We did. The music was so loud you could not hear. They took no responsibilty for the error! Average food! Avoid this place! They don't care about their customers. read more

The location is as good and well run as Crystal River! We will go back soon! The staff is well trajned and the manager Emily is very attentive to all aspects of the operation read more

Our boat captain (shout out to Captain Reef) at Silver Springs recommended this restaurant. Everything was AMAZING. We had gator sausage corn dogs, gumbo, mahi tacos, and to die for dessert. Our server, Emaleigh was absolutely phenomenal! Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

This was the first time to Ocala's Seafood Seller. Got there before the rush, still was a good crowd and waited 2nd in line. The wai was short and once seated the outstanding service began. Our waitress, even with all her tables was on point. The appetizers and the meal were quick and delicious. Table were spaced out nicely so you weren't right on top of each other. Great atmosphere. I work in the restaurant industry as a vendor and my first thought is they care. Great place. Thanks read more

So so glad these wonderful folks decided to open a site in Ocala. They really understand what southern Louisiana seafood is all about. AND their wait staff know a thing or two about southern hospitality. This place will be my go to for seafood in Ocala!!' read more
