    Popcorn shrimp, rice, okra, fries

    Everything fresh seafood - eat in or take home. Seasonings. Desserts. Very welcoming. Staff helpful in making your selections. Very clean, nautical atmosphere. Select from iced, fresh seafood in glass display cases.

    All kind of goodness

    This place is amazing , service outstanding and like right off the dock on the east coast: very much enjoyed and worth it

    Food was good and nice size portions, also available is Cajun classics like gator, turtle meat that you can take home to cook. Cool little place and different than your average seafood place.

    Fish, chips, coleslaw.

    Some of the best fried shrimp I've ever had. Had been hearing good things about this place and it didn't let us down. Great fresh seafood for dining in or takeout. It's a no frills set up and they have steady business. Wife went with her go-to of fish (tasty cod) and chips, while I mentioned my fried shrimp; can always tell when the seafood is fresh. Each combo plate was $15 and came with a choice of two sides, which were ok. Also had a $5 starter of boudin balls -very good. Service was peppy and helpful. They offer all manner of seafood to cook on your own: fish, octopus, squid...all sorts of critters from the seven seas! Def will be back!

    Variety of seafood choices, both fresh and frozen. They also offer prepared meals cooked to order. Hubby and I Stopped in for lunch on this cold and dreary day and was immediately greeted by a smiling young lady behind the register who was very kind, patient and caring. She offered their specials of the day along with a variety of beverages to choose from. After placing our order, we found a perfect table for two to enjoy our meals. The place was clean and had adequate seating for its customers. There were several persons dining in when we arrived. We ordered the Shrimp Po' Boy and the fried shrimp plate, both came with two sides. Within 10mins our meals was prepared and brought to our table. It was served hot and looked quite tasty. The roll the sandwich was served on was soft, fluffy and overflowing with shrimp. The size of the shrimp were large and fried perfectly. Moments later, the young lady checked on us to make sure everything was to our liking. Indeed it was. After finishing our meal, we toured their seafood counter looking over their seafood choices for future buys and quickly discovered their prices were out of reach for our pocketbooks! Our overall experience at this location (Alcoa) was exceptional.

    Canadian salmon and wahoo sashimi bought at their fish

    Amazing. The wahoo tacos were incredible (corn was okay, standard. Fries were delicious). They have an amazing selection of fresh fish. Took a piece of wahoo and Canadian salmon home after lunch and it was delicious! Highly recommend

    Fries Shrimp with season broccoli and fries.

    This location is on par with the Kingston Pike one. It's small and quiet, and very basic. The employees are all very friendly and efficient. My wife and I ordered lunch; she, a shrimp Po' Boy, me, a shrimp plate. I had my large shrimp fried with French Fries and broccoli. My broccoli was seasoned with garlic and thyme. Your choices are endless. I could have the shrimp prepared one of several ways. There are numerous sides. Once I selected broccoli, I had more choices on the seasoning. I also had a beer (bottled only). Our meals were cooked fresh and promptly delivered by the kitchen staff. My shrimp were lightly breaded and cooked just right. My French fries were hot and (fairly) crisp, and my broccoli was seasoned as requested and served al dente. Overall, a very good place for lunch when you're in the mood for seafood.

    Cooking perfectly!

    I've been looking for places that have octopus and on the window it said $10 for a pound or $20 for…read more2 pounds. So he weighs the block of ice with octopus in it so I ended up having to pay $34 when there's at least a pound of ice there I definitely didn't appreciate having to pay extra for ice that surrounded the octopus cause there's no way in hell this is 3.5 pounds of octopus. But they do have a bunch of different kinds of fresh fish, different kinds of frozen crab and a few different things in the freezer section. They also say they have sushi grade fish.

She recommended the shrimp dock and I'm happy to say that they were delightful!!! Customer service was wonderful because she was very helpful, sorry I don't remember her name. We didn't know what to order and asked for her recommendations. She knew the menu well because everything that she recommended was amazing!!! I ordered the popcorn shrimp and blackened salmon with fried okra and Cajun corn. My mentee ordered fried catfish and coconut shrimp with Cajun corn and crab rangoons. The restaurant was really cute and they have seasonings sitting off to the side that you can add to your food.

And being an Army brat (and Army veteran) helps. And I love the Sunrise Supermarket - I've shopped there every week or two since they opened. I buy a lot of fish at the fish counter, and never had a bad experience with their fish (of course, I know how to buy fish, and occasionally I need to speak a little Spanish, which I can). The produce section is wonderful. I wish I knew how to cook a tenth of what they sell in that store! In contrast to what several reviewers have said, I've never experienced or observed any discourtesy to anyone. Sure, there are occasional difficulties in communication, with so many nationalities represented, but that's part of the fun of it. I fairly often want a Chinese item that doesn't have a satisfactory English name, so I find the Chinese characters on the Web and print them out, and find somebody in the store who can read Chinese, and promptly am led to what I want. (I just discovered sha cha sauce that way.) Checking my shopping list now - sesame oil, some fresh squid to stir-fry and a pompano to steam, some frozen Chinese dumplings, a bottle of nước mắm, a bag of bean sprouts, a Mexican squash. And by now the 2026 Chinese calendars should be in.

Still pretty formal, but more desirable for us versus formal dining. 4. We had 6 different cocktails and all were great. 5. Food wise, we started with deviled eggs, then a wedge salad, finishing with the Surf/Turf. All were great. I personally didn't love the relish on the deviled eggs (sweet), but it worked. 6. If I have any constructive feedback, I'd ask the manager, Brad, to stop pacing through the lounge. During our 1.5 hours there, he walked through the lounge in front of our table, at least 20 times and it became a detractor for us. Occasionally we'd see him seat a customer instead of the hostess, but otherwise, not sure he was actually adding any value with pacing. I'd suggest sitting back and observing, and helping when needed rather than hovering and pacing. The lounge is just too small to not notice.

    Not every restaurant earns repeat business because of the food alone. The places that truly stand…read moreout are the ones that understand hospitality at a higher level (true attention to detail), professionalism, and how they handle the moments that don't go perfectly. I have frequented this restaurant regularly with friends and clients and have always had great experiences, which honestly made last night stand out even more. Without getting into specifics, an issue came up during dinner. What impressed me was that before we even had the opportunity to mention it, Madison (our rock star waitress) had already noticed it from across the room. She approached the table discreetly, acknowledged what she observed in a professional way, immediately involved management, and the situation was addressed promptly and respectfully. That is the difference between a place that is simply "nice" and a true 5-star experience. Anyone can deliver good food on a good night. Real customer service is measured by awareness, urgency, discretion, and how a team responds when something is off. Madison's attention to detail and the way the staff handled the situation reinforced exactly why I will continue coming back with friends and clients. Mistakes happen everywhere. Professionalism like that doesn't.
