Chicken wings , liver
Marquietta R.

Had the combo where I got to choose 3 items for 11.99. I chose the chicken wings , liver and fried oysters. The chicken and oysters were so good and fresh. I wasn't crazy about the liver this time but maybe it was a one off. Other than that I really enjoyed everything.

3 piece whiting fish with fries and lemonade
Tisha L.

I really like this place! I had the 3 fish combo and it was cooked to order, seasoned, and crispy. I had a good customer experience. This place gets a lot of business which I don't mind because I know the food will be fresh. Don't worry about the wait time they move fast and very nice. Make sure you get the Lemonade it's delicious

Whole Wings, 6 Piece Whiting, Medium Fries

Hot and fresh fried chicken could just a little more seasoning! Fries nice and crunchy not flimsy! Ranch needs work definitely isn't wing stop ranch! Needs a better hot sauce! Also had the cut wings(hot lemon pepper and honey gold) with Cajun ranch fries!

I absolutely love this place! Everything that I have eaten from her has been good. Tonight we ordered the 20 piece wings half lemon pepper and half hot lemon pepper with fries and for my daughter I ordered her chicken nuggets. Let me say these aren't your typical basic chicken nuggets. It's actually strips of chicken breast cut into bite size pieces and seasoned very well. My daughter loved them. Everything is cooked to order which is a plus, but expect to wait at least 15 minutes for your order or you can call it in. The prices are very reasonable. The parking can kinda be messy since they are located out (right next to) a gas station, but it's well worth it for fresh hot chicken wings! They also serve fish, shrimp, burgers, gizzards, gyros, and all types of appetizers. I can definitely vouch for the wings and seafood. Maybe next time I'll try a sandwich ‍

Sold as Catfish.

I am absolutely mortified after ordering 2 catfish combos 07/08/2023 and to discover what I was eating was not US catfish. I have eat enough catfish in my life to know this isn't it. Sharks do better better to the community that supports you. I will never eat at any of their locations again. If you are interested in what the fish is; it may be Swai. A very well known and cheap sub that is passed off to customers as catfish. Google it. Restaurants all over the US have been getting over and add Sharks to the list.

Minimal outside parking. No A/C But the food is delicious. I ordered a catfish sandwhich and it was fresh and well seasoned.

Horrible! I have been going here for about two years, every Friday I come here and get cut wings lemon pepper flavored, I have never had my wings breaded, I pick up my order, I get home and notice that my wings had no lemon pepper on them, they were only breaded plain wings. I called back to ask if they could remake my order bc they had it wrong, the woman who answered who claimed to be the manager got smart with me and hung up, she refused to fix my order after they messed it up, needless to say, after 2 plus years, they have lost a customer!!! Down below is what I received! I am disappointed at sharks, our order was $30 and needless to say my whole order was incorrect!

Philly Cheese Steak and Fries
Cerissa B.

I ordered Shark's for delivery. The Philly Cheesesteak combo came with a Drink & Fries. And I also requested mayonnaise. When it was delivered there was no Mayo on the Philly Cheesesteak neither did I receive my Pepsi. I attempted to call the delivery driver back but I received a voicemail with no call back. The food was okay.

Can't believe it took us so long to try Bayonet! Overall, we were completely blown away. Every dish…read morefelt intentional and every bite was delicious. We had the oysters (the selection was unreal), the branzino, the tuna burger and the peas & carrots side dish. All incredible. But the real star of the show was the coconut cream pie. Truly, do not go to Bayonet without ordering it. Quite possibly our new favorite dessert in Bham. The tableside martini and coffee service were such a fun touch, and our waitress was amazing. She helped us navigate the menu perfectly. Ah, cannot wait to go back.

Upon arriving, the dining room was a bit cool, so a light sweater might be a good idea…read more Our waitress was excellent--friendly, knowledgeable, and very familiar with the menu. She guided us through the oyster selection, and every variety we tried was fresh and tasty. The oysters were easily the highlight of the meal. The only downside was the exceptionally long wait between the oysters and our entrées. We ordered the snapper, tuna burger, and zucchini squash tart. All three dishes were well prepared and enjoyable, but none really stood out as particularly memorable. We finished with the coconut cream pie and a French press-like coffee, both of which were exceptional and a perfect ending to the meal. Overall, Bayonet was a good dining experience. The meal started and ended on a high note, and with improved pacing from the kitchen, it would have been a better experience.

For the love of God, don't believe the news articles and the James Beard nomination. This place is a ripoff. If it was ever good, it's gone downhill faster than a shopping buggy. The food is severely subpar and overpriced. The half lobster appeared to be a third lobster and cost as much as a whole lobster. I've had better hush puppies at a roadside barbecue joint. I've never had tiny "seared" scallops dumped into a half inch of beef broth before (how can they still be called seared when they're submerged?!?). Remarkably low quality cuisine. Please don't waste your money unless you're an unsophisticated rube. My cocktail was alright, but very small in volume compared to most other restaurants. The decorating appears dingy and the booth seats hurt your back. My wife said the bathroom had "trash everywhere." The waiter was very nice.

We love this place - it is the best seafood place in Bham - the steamed crab claws are amazing !…read moreThe oysters are freshly flown in . I have not tried any other location in years - bc this place is always such a treat . I have tried some of the newer $$$$ seafood restaurants( bc my son wanted to go ) but I have always left disappointed. The fish market gets your food out hot & they do have great service , (this is why they're still in business.) I've been eating here at least 30 years - I like the casual ambiance & the oysters are to die for . In my humble opinion, this is the only place to get reliably great seafood ( & it has reasonable prices)

We were seated promptly handed menus and about 30 seconds later approached by the waitress for drink orders. We asked for a drink menu as there was nothing to advertise what drinks they were serving. She returned with 1 drink menu for all 3 of us and stood there waiting until we decided. We asked for some time so she left and returned about 2 mins later. We ordered drinks and she returned 2 mins later to take our food order. We ordered appetizers, salad and main courses. The drinks came quickly, the salads came right after and then about 3 mins later, the appetizers came out. 3 mins after that, the main courses arrived so we had plates stacked everywhere on the table and quickly tried to finish our salads and appetizers before the main dish got cold. The waitress never returned to the table until she brought the bill. The plates were all cleared by someone else. We saw her leave a bill at the table next to us and wait until they checked it over and figured out a payment method, so when she arrived at our table we just handed her a credit card. The food was average but the overall experience was terrible. I realize she was probably new and this may have been her first night but some training would go a long way! For $180 dinner, we expected a lot more.

For drinks We got a old fashioned for hubbie, me a lemon drop and a Watermelon dream for my son This was the first lemon drop that I liked!!! For apps we got gator bites , fried calamari, and squid . The gator bites were good and tender, and the calamari and squid were fried lightly. Entrées, I got the snapper lemon grass. My son got a catfish Po boy that I swear was half a French loaf, and my husband got the platter with fried oysters, butterfly shrimp crawfish fries It was a lot of food and we had to take some home We still got dessert, though, which was a cream Brûlée I have just a few tweaks 1. You need to have somewhere with the dessert stated on your menu. Second, the butternut squash that I got with my fish, should've been done a touch more. It was still good. It just needed to be done a touch more. 3. Please fix the handicapped bathroom. It didn't want to lock . Regardless, it was a wonderful meal!! Our server was pretty on point. She was friendly. She was fast no complaints and she got tipped very well. I think her name was Briana O!! She was an excellent waitress! All in all, I think everyone enjoyed their meal . It ticked off all of my boxes service friendly /professionally, service fast/ asked about drinks/reasked/bathroom was nice/clean Thank you and We intend to come again!!!

Phenomenal dining experience!!…read more Service was top notch from the hostess and host, our waiter and all of the runners. Attentive without being obnoxious, in depth explanations of items on the menu with great recommendations! We started with a half dozen raw oysters and the pork belly. Oysters were very fresh and the seasoned crackers were a nice touch. The pork belly was quite possibly the best we've ever had and we're slight snobs about it. The fennel and orange mixture was a unique blend that really complemented the smokiness of the pork belly, Our steaks were melt in your mouth good. Cooked perfectly! I wished I could've just taken a massive bowl of the macaroni and cheese home. The char on the broccolini balanced the richness of the macaroni. They were sadly out of the crème brûlée, so instead I had the vanilla and peach gelato, while my husband had the chocolate l'orange cake. The vanilla gelato had the perfect rich vanilla taste. The peach didn't taste much like peach, but the flavor was still good. The cake was light and fluffy with a great balance of chocolate and orange. The candied orange peel on top was a nice touch! The atmosphere is pretty busy so it was louder than I was expecting. However, the ability to see the wine cellar, fridge of aging meat, and a window to stop in to look at the kitchen was a lot of fun. Highly recommend!

We've dined at Armour House several times and always enjoy it, but this visit finally prompted me…read moreto leave a review with a bit of feedback. First, the food: truly no notes. It's spectacular every time. The rotating menu keeps things fresh and interesting, and every dish we've had has been thoughtfully prepared and consistently excellent. The kitchen is clearly doing something special and it's a big reason we keep coming back. This visit, however, the service was unusually slow. Our dinner lasted about two hours (7:30-9:30) on a night that didn't seem particularly busy. There was a noticeable lull in the dining room with quite a few open tables, yet it still took nearly 40 minutes between finishing our appetizers and receiving our main courses. The pacing just felt off compared to past visits. Valet (which I understand isn't directly run by the restaurant) was also a bit slow -- about a 15 minute wait to get our car at the end of the night. All that said, Armour House is still a really special spot with incredible food and we'll absolutely be back. Sharing this feedback because we've had such great experiences here before and hope this was just an off night.
