When you walk in, you find your own seating and place your order right from your seat. If you enjoy cold beers and micheladas, this is definitely the place to order them. The gumbo here deserves a special mention. It's not your typical Cajun gumbo. There is something different about it. It is incredibly delicious and absolutely a must-try. We also ordered the Texas Mini Plate, which came with two catfish fillets, three shrimps, and fries. The portions were great and the prices are very affordable! Overall, highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for fried seafood at a great price!

I've been a longtime customer of Captain Tom's Seafood & Oyster Bar and it's been one of my go-to…read morespots for seafood, so I was really looking forward to my recent visit after being away for a while. Unfortunately, I noticed a big change this time around. The breading on both the fish and shrimp tasted different--much saltier and kind of overpowered the flavor. Not sure if the recipe has changed, but I personally prefer the original breading. That light, well-seasoned coating was part of what made me keep coming back over the years. Hoping this was just an off day or that the original recipe makes a comeback soon

There is no communication from any staff that the weight would be that long nor was there a conversation throughout those 50 minutes, took him about 17 minutes, just to bring us glasses of water that we just tap water put some ice in there. I feel like it can be cleaner. Never like you when there's things that need to be fixed like the door knob in the men's restroom. There's no handle on the inside. But when we did have service, it was friendly and courteous. It's not proactive. It's all reactionary. Food was delicious freshly cooked hot flavorful so give it four stars for the food. It was great, not exceptional. Service I gave a three stars because there's average got more attention after we asked why the heck he was taking so long to get the food The atmosphere I'm gonna give us three need to clean some things up. It'll be faster at clearing tables. You have a more clean atmosphere. I'd recommend it unfortunately in Houston, there are a ton of seafood restaurants so I probably won't be back

Being originally from Mississippi, the "home" of catfish, this place has the best catfish I've had since I've been in Houston. It has a clean flavor which is hard to find and it's fried to perfection. There isn't the leftover, lingering oil or grease. The fries are *chef's kiss* Collectively my family and I had edamame, fries, fried shrimp, fried catfish, oyster poboy, bang bang shrimp, hushpuppies, sushi and coleslaw. There was not one thing we ordered that I would not order again. The amount of food you get for the cost is economical. For all of that food plus three sodas and a beer, our bill was right at $120. Not only is the food great but the service is just as great. It is not heavily staffed but you never feel like you're rushed or overlooked. The food is cooked to order so be prepared to wait for fresh food. Even with little staff and cook to order food, the wait isn't long at all. You can't go wrong with them! 10 out of 10

Everything came out in very generous quantities and perfect temperatures. The fried pickles represented in a light batter that we very much enjoyed. The burger came to the table a perfect medium-rare as ordered. The fish and shrimp were perfect battered, respectively, in a cornmeal and crispy mix. Drinks were refilled as they approached empty status. I really believe this is a gem of a local restaurant and worth a try next time you are in the area.

That said, the service was pretty cool and fast. I sat at the bar and was taken care of right away. I ended up ordering the Alex Botana which is boiled shrimp in a red sauce with lime juice and potatoes... not a fan and the shrimp was not clean. The restaurant itself is vibrant and full of color, with plenty of room and multiple TVs--great for watching sports and just chilling. Overall, solid vibe and service, but missing grilled oysters was a letdown for me.

Rolita and David and the whole staff are amazing and create a positive welcoming atmosphere. The lighting is amazing while listening to smooth jazz. This has been my best restaurant experience yet. I will keep coming back, and I highly recommend this place. I will be back for more.The Chang's Seabass and the White Chocolate Bread Pudding are a must as well. The sushi is completely fresh and flavorful as well. I've never had a bad experience with it. White dragon roll, Ahi Tuna and Watermelon, and the 21pc Sashimi is great. Don't forget about the Dark Chocolate Pots De Crème as well. Overall it has been a wonderful few times back here at Redfish Seafood Grill. I moved back from St Petersburg, Florida and the seafood and sushi here is 10 times better than the food in Florida. Redfish knows how to impress.

BEWARE. My family…read morevisited earlier this week, and my mother (71) and grandmother (89) both got violently ill after sharing a sushi roll here. What followed was days of severe vomiting and diarrhea -- genuinely alarming given their age and how quickly dehydration can become dangerous for older adults. Finding a decent/subpar sushi spot in Spring has always been tough, but this experience takes this restaurant off our list for good. The quality and safety of the fish is not something I'm willing to gamble on again. Proceed at your own risk -- especially if you're dining with older family members. 7/10 Update: Based on owner's response/questions: They were there 7/7 6:41pm. Originally it was just my mother and grandmother and now two other parties have fallen ill. Thankfully not as severely. They consumed the 21 piece Sashimi, chicken dumplings, shrimp tempura, salmon w/veg, Rolita Roll and the "Crunchy Roll" which they all shared and consumed.
