Horrible, absolutely just horrible. Staff were extremely rude, my partner and I paid $30 for 2 whole plates and got little portions and raw fish lucky I don't report this to higher authority.staff took forever, let our food get cold. Left us feeling disappointed. read more

First time. Beautiful spirited host, chef, and crew. My wife and I loved the food. Small portions but well cooked & seasoned. We plan on attending again. We enjoyed the company of fellow Californian of diverse backgrounds. The 4 was only because of my fish portions, but the hostess was willing to supply more greens. Go and enjoy the HUT! read more

Decided to try this place again after 4 years (last review on google) and what a mistake. Ordered off door dash (3pc fish, 6 LARGE shrimp and 1 side) for $18.00. I included a pic of one of the supposedly LARGE shrimp next to a package of tartar sauce. Suppose to be 3 pieces of fish and got ONE small / thin piece of fish cut into nuggets, old and dry as hell. All I can say is NEVER again. Don't even understand why yall want to continuously put out this bad food year after year. 4 years and the same bad experience. Don't make any sense !! read more

The Fish Hut Market - LARGE shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Hemet, California

Ordered through DD and food arrived fresh and hot. Fish and shrimp were tasty, would orders again. red bean and rice wasn't that great to me but my mom loved it. We also ordered chicken strips and fries which were pretty tasty and handmade. Only thing I didn't care for is that the chicken tasted like it was cooked in the same oil as the fish. read more

The Fish Hut Market - Fish and shrimp with Red beans and rice - Seafood Near Me - Hemet, California

I've been wanting to come here for quite some time. Since leaving San Diego, I miss having a larger variety of meals... let's face it... Hemet is not known for its ethnic food. I came and was immediately greeted. The server was speaking to a child wishing them happy birthday, and a young man emerged and offered the child a piece of cake. How sweet is that? I loved it. This review will be factual to me... so forgive me to the owners "if" I am incorrect. I ordered two fish plates to go, a 5 piece whiting and a 5 piece red snapper. I asked the sweet young lady if the potato salad was made there and she assured me it was. I don't believe it was. My first clue was .. I know the taste of store bought potato salad. I am not saying it was bad.. I am just saying it was store bought and then they added shredded carrots into it. Very unique. I was also told the greens were fresh and made there. That is also incorrect. I know canned greens when I taste them. I grow my own so I 100% know the difference. Again, the were not bad, just not fresh leaves. I love the turkey they added into it for flavor though. The Mac N Cheese was actually really good because I liked the cheese they use. I did enjoy my meal, it just wasn't the "I feel homesick and don't feel like cooking myself" taste. The fish though! The fish was delicious! That lil baby in the back did her thing. The service was my favorite part of coming here. It was so sweet how they treated that little girl. I could feel the love from the 3 that I interacted with. I will absolutely come back to try some of the other side dishes. Thank you for being open and feeding me. read more

You pull up . And you're worried..... but your dad says these are normally the hidden gems... so we go... and unfortunately it was very disappointing. The fish was extra fried so crazy there was no fish to the cod.. and the service was okay the lady was nice. But [[HIGHLIGHT]]overall ambiance to the place was exactly the way I expected the food to be .. no detail.. no care.. crap...[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

First, The customer service was impeccable. I ordered a sampler meal and everything was delicious especially the fried Catfish, it was seasoned well, crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. I've officially found my new favorite Seafood joint. Thanks again Fish Hut read more

New to the area and was referred by a man who we met at another local seafood restaurant. My husband and I are truly disappointed with the food overall at The Fish Hut Market. My husband and I ordered the sampler and the shrimp seafood boil. The fish tasted like it was friend in old grease, the sampler was a very small portion and the alligator bites were burnt. The seafood boil was a 2/10. The best part of the boil was the corn. The sauce was flavorless and the potatoes were rubbery. The location was hard to find as the sign outside is warn and you can only read "hut" and even that is faded. The server was friendly but the overall experience was not pleasant. read more

My favorite restaurant in Hemet the food is always on point I get the seafood boil almost every time and they NEVER miss

Catfish was delicious! The collard greens are amazing! And the hush puppies...perfect!!

10 out of 10, everything made fresh, seasoned so well. Such a gem in our town! Can't wait to come back.

This gets 5 stars for the pure deliciousness of their food!! I had the 10 piece shrimp (grilled) that was superbly flavored, spicy but not burn-y. The red beans and rice were the best I've had anywhere, also just spicy enough. We split a peach cobbler, hot out of the oven- both sweet and spicy, with a topping more like pie crust. Yum! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Know going in that this is in an old, small building, undecorated, with only 4 tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Who cares - I'm here for the food![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

It's always a gamble with the quality and overall service with this place. Ordered from DoorDash and my order of smothered pork chops wasn't correct, nor did the meal come with rice as indicated. I ordered Mac and cheese and the yams for the sides and they gave me two yams. The yams are ok but certainly not good enough to replace Mac and cheese. Had a poor experience the last time I ordered as well so I waited over a year to try again. Sadly still a disappointing experience. Again, it will be a gamble if you order here. Sometimes it's decent and other times you'll end up disappointed that you wasted your money. read more

First visit to The Fish Hut Market after a friend suggested it. There is no street parking in front so you park behind the restaurant in a small area shared with a Mexican restaurant next door. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fairly small customer area upon entry with only 3 or 4 tables and chairs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seemed like take-out orders dominated versus dine-in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You place your order at the counter with most everything freshly cooked to order. The friendly hostess made some recommendations for first-time visitors which we appreciated. We ordered combination meals of both red snapper and catfish with a basket of alligator nuggets to share. My catfish came out nice and hot with a delicious, not too heavy batter. Very good! Likewise the red snapper was perfect in every way. The alligator nuggets were tasty and the batter was nicely spiced although it was applied too thick and heavy taking away from the gator flavor itself. Our sides of baked candied yams and potato salad were very good as well. Overall, four happy Yelp stars for The Fish Hut Market in Hemet. read more

Being very familiar with the type of food there were some things I liked and some I didn't. I tried their sampler platter as I figured it would give me the best overview of their dishes. 2 pieces of fish, 2 oysters, 2 shrimp, and 2 alligator with fries. The fish and the oysters were perfectly done which is a bit of a surprise as I have had many overcooked oysters in a lot of these types of places. However the shrimp was overcooked and the alligator was rubbery. The fries were well done. They use a very spicy Cajun seasoning that I found quite enjoyable. This is just a small place and you order at the counter then take your food to go or sit at one of the tables they have. Nothing fancy, but well kept and clean. The person behind the counter was friendly but also right down to business. It was definitely worth going back to and giving it another try. read more

They stated that they would call when my food was ready. An hour later I called to see what was taking so long, and they had forgotten to enter my order. I prepaid in person. They said they were sorry, and sent the order through a delivery. Food was good but I am reluctant to try them again. It took 2 hours to actually get to eat. Tawana I called and left a message to call me. A female took my name and number, this was in response to your request. This was 2 weeks ago. read more

I haven't been here in a while. Good the know that the food here is still great. I got the red snapper and the catfish and it was perfect. The sides are still some great. The greens and yams are always as good as moms. read more

The Fish Hut Market - Red Snapper, Mac N Cheese, Sweet Yams - Seafood Near Me - Hemet, California

Upon entering the hostess Miya had me at "ROLLTIDE" iykyk ! As a Southern Pacific Islander girl raised in San Diego now living in Temecula (since 1999) we have seen soul food restaurants within a 15 mile radius open then right when we start telling people about the spot they end up closing!‍...came across The Fish Hut Market. I wanted some southern soul food that will hit this islanders soul! Well hunnay "The Fish Hut Market" did not disappoint! Let's talk about this food we ordered...fried catfish, Mac n cheese, red beans n rice, and yams! The flavor was on point, the portions were more than enough and you can't beat the price! Money well spent! You know when the owners are from the south when you hear the young lady (Miya) address her mama with "yes ma'am"!! The best part is knowing that Ms. Tawana (owner) served in the Marine Corps...so you're not only supporting a local family business but also a veteran US Marine! now go get your life at The Fish Hut Market! Tell'm "Rolltide" sent you...(there is no discount attached) just letting them know they have a new family member . FYI.. I am paying customer and was NOT paid to post this review. read more

I love the customer service, very goofy individuals , definitely love the food been coming here for years but it's been couple and nothing has changed good food good energy, mya and darius are my new favorites read more

Started this review long ago, surprised I didn't finish but I'll share what I started... I'm rooting for this place. The customer service is great. Family-owned business. I don't live in Hemet but drove out there from Lake Elsinore to try it out. I got the fried catfish and fried shrimp. Fried shrimp was amazing. One thing that bothered me about the catfish was that the breading, the fried part just fell off. This was from a few year's ago, things may have improved. They're worth giving a try and I will go back to see how things have changed read more

Hands down the best service and let me tell you that catfish, okra were delicious. Thank you again for being so kind. I'm definitely returning Love ya, Jeanette Alicia Brown read more

Give very small portions. We ordered the alligator basket for $16.99 and we got 8 small pieces that were smaller than half a damn nugget. We had more fries than anything. Oysters are very small as well. We waited an hour for pretty much a kids meal. read more

Establishment is centrally located. Shared parking lot with adjacent restaurant. This place had good reviews so I ordered over $60 worth of food including Red Snapper, Mac & Cheese, Greens, Shrimp and Oysters with Red Beans & Rice. First and foremost fish seems fried is yesterdays oil, overcooked, over seasoned. Quality of food was disappointing! read more

I visited this place a couple years ago and I didn't really like the flavor of the food... I didn't hate it, it just wasn't my cup of tea. Fast forward to July 1st, I decided to go back because I bought a Groupon for them and I'm glad I did! The food has much more flavor than before. I ordered the catfish and shrimp family meal along with 2 boils. I added potato salad and Mac n cheese as well. Also got some banana pudding! The fish and shrimp were great: seasoned well and very tender (not over cooked). The Mac n cheese was delicious and had the right cheese('s) there. The seafood boils were good, I just wish garlic was added to the sauce. I only got the taste of seasoned butter. The Cajun fries were nice! And my favorite of all had to be the potato salad! Very reminiscent of the way my mom and grandmother used to make it. The banana pudding was amazing and I'd buy it again and again! I'll be coming back (and not just cause of Groupon haha) because I really enjoyed the food. Nice to have a fish joint in the neighborhood and not have to drive all the way to la for it. Oh and I forgot the most important part: their customer service was excellent! From the young man that took my order, to the young guy that cooked my food and politely explained to me that my food would be out soon, and to the young lady that was cleaning up during closing (yes, they were all young, at least in my eyes... I'm old lol). It's not often you're around respectful and kind young people nowadays, so I truly appreciate how they all were. I don't really have any cons about this place, except next time I will make sure I order over the phone haha! It took a while to cook the food so now I know to make a phone order first. *bonus They recently had a "free food day" and I got to try other different foods from them! So the next time I go, I know to get their gumbo, fried okra, greens and sweet potatoes! read more

BOMB BOMB BOMB food and REALLY friendly service. Great people. I forgot to write this review when I first tried them so I'm writing it on my way there.

UPDATE: just got the Oyster Po Boy *BEST* Po Boy I've ever had better than the ones I ate in New Orleans. read more

I know... i know you're hungry.... Don't do it... You will be at the crib swinging like Cuba in Boy in the hood... Small side portions, fish has no flavor.... I mean it tastes like cornmeal if that's the flavor they were going for it definitely will clean a pallet. Service was kool i gave a tip but for 80 dollars and everything was lukewarm naaaa... read more

Just went here. Uhm.. NO.. just no! Not sure where all the 4 and 5 star ratings came from but this place is not it. Ordered the 10 piece fried shrimp with cajun fries. Shrimp was super overcooked with no seasoning and the fries were burnt. Never going there again. No excuse for serving fries that look like that! The one star is for the girl who took my order because she was nice. Fire the cook! read more

The Fish Hut Market - Burnt Fries - Seafood Near Me - Hemet, California

1. This must be a new establishment. I was there when they opened at 1130 2. I ordered crab boil. That was a mistake. I was told that it would take 30 minutes. I was fine with that. 3. I came back, expecting my order to be ready it wasn't. I was told that it would take time. The potatoes needed to be cooked, then 30 minutes the corn needed to be cooked mind you this is one hour of waiting and all I got was a free water. 4. You see other orders going out. I left after one hour and thirty minutes. I asked what was going on and was told it takes time. I asked for a refund. As of today I was never refunded any money from THE FISH HUT. THANK GOODNESS MY CREDIT UNION HONORED THIS TRANSACTION. THIS PLACE NEEDS TO CLOSE DOWN OR GET SOME HELP As a matter of fact no one came in acting like a child I never cured at you. Only the devil in you know the truth. Even with your reviews your food is microwaved and probably can't be eaten I will you nothing but the best business fail quicker than my comments. You need help no one wants to have crappy food delivered do not contact me I said what I needed to say. Hopefully the customer can eat the food that you Prepared for them read more

If you want the best gumbo in the Inland Empire, this is the place to get it! The food here is amazing and the staff here treats you life family. I absolutely recommend this place, if you're looking for good, authentic southern cuisine. I hope this establishment thrives for years to come! read more

If you are looking for fresh seafood keep driving I'm 65 years old and know that I was served old I mean very old seafood I tried the most expensive seafood platter they forgot about my shrimp but maybe that's a good thing everything was stone cold greasy food I have ever eaten as I threw away 22 dollars of food that was inedible you would think on a late Friday afternoon they would have fresh seafood and knowing how to fry fish it isn't that hard I think they fry everything and leave it in warming treys the outside coating was wet and falling off the fish and also tasted like a dead tuna fish a fishy taste that you could only do one thing with is throw everything away and learned a valuable lesson my First And Last visit to this establishment period read more

The Fish Hut has saved me the past few months from starving I am a Disabled Veteran with cancer . I could no longer cook for myself. I prayed to find someone who could cook with some Sothern seasoning . I highlyrecommend this Restaurant. Ivy F.this is not just Food its Food made with LOVE‍ read more

This place is fantastic. Fish is awesome and they have a huge menu with southern classics (crawfish, whiting, snapper, catfish, front legs). Fish is served nice and hot and should still be warm if you are coming from out of the neighboring towns. The owners are super sweet and nice. I came for the first time and will definitely make the trip a at least couple times a month from Murrieta. It's well worth it. Side note: Red beans and rice was so good. Getting a Po Boy next time. Second side note: They got gator as well. read more

This is the worst restaurant I have ever been to they gave me over cooked hard fish . She was a decent server. A lot of the time you go to a hole in wall type place their food is pretty good. But this was just sad to sale someone the food you guys sold me. I wish you well. I really try to support my black owned business . But if it's not right I can't support it. read more

If you are hungry for some good food. Go see Derek's and Amya and order some Red Snapper. The service is good and the people are so friendly. read more

A hidden gem. The location is sort of hidden but the food is wonderful. Kind of a Cajun vibe with collard greens Mac n cheese and the catfish was slay. read more

So upset with myself for not stopping to try this place sooner. No more driving to Moreno Valley, Perris, or even worse Pomona to get some great fried fish cooked fresh by the pound. It can be a little hectic stopping in if traveling from the East, but believe me it is worth the hassle. The owner is awesome, too which explains why everything is top notch. I'm impressed with their large variety of offerings and more than fair prices as well. I was sold once I saw they keep alligator on the menu. Plus the service is great to. It's not a full service restaurant or anything, but there's enough spa e and tables if you choose to dine in. Today I had the catfish which was a nice thick filet cut and shrimp. The catfish was fresh with no swampy/extra fishy taste at all and the shrimp were cooked just right without being overcooked. I'll definitely be back every time I don't feel like pulling out my outdoor deep fryer or dealing with fried fish smell in the house. Do yourself a favor and stop by. read more

Small portions , red beans and rice is watery, greens , heck glory makes them better, fish all cooked in the same batter . We ordered red snapper and Talipa taste the same. Just horrible read more

Excellent catfish, cod, shrimp! We love their poboys! Cole slaw has a nice Cajun zing! Our favorite place for seafood!tovbog-gebji5-xewWej
