    Bourbon Sherry Linguine
    Mark H.

    Large open bar at entry that can seat @ 40 patrons with smaller 2 seat tables in bar with a smaller dining area. Possibly a heavy focus on bar as it's a two page only menu with alcohol on the front, food on the back. Prices seem very reasonable. Old fashioned will set you back $13, glasses of wine in the 10-13 window. Great for fish fans with fried catfish and standard cod fish and chips and more classier dishes like blacked redfish, mahi mahi, shrimp and grits and more. I started with Boudin Balls which had 8-10 in the order. Took me all to decide if I liked them. For me missed the sausage profile and dirty rice texture but this seemed a different take served with hot "gravy" versus roumelade. I also missed the holy trinity flavor profile of peppers/onion/celery Surprised with jalapenonhush puppies which is complimentary to all tables. These were excellent. My entree choice was bourbon sherry and shrimp linguini. Sauce was fantastic. Generous shrimp portions. Possibly go to 8-10oz of pasta as I had a lot of sauce left would have loved more linguine. A couple of the shrimp were not completely cooked. These were larger profile shrimp and was a missed step. Staff was abundantly attentive. Mattie the hostess was wonderfully polite and friendly and even brought me my glasses I left at hostess stand when I looked at menu trying to decide if I would give this place a try. Someone please thank her for her smile and hospitality. It was originally created and launched in 2016-2017 by Razzoo's Cajun Café, an Addison, Texas-based restaurant company. After its early growth, it was later spun off/divested from Razzoo's in 2019. Following the spin-off, former Razzoo's president Chris Degan took control and became CEO/owner/operator of Tricky Fish. I think he is up to something good here. Couple little things and it's 5 star and when I'm back up in DFW for a convention center show I will likely check back.

    Hits and a few misses. Fate brought us here. We were in the "neighborhood" and my sister needed to use the restroom so I decided to check out the menu. We have been here before but couldn't remember anything about the experience. (Not a good sign) We opted to have lunch. The beer battered cod caught our attention and the Parmesan Haddock sealed the deal. We started out with a side of the Fried green tomatoes. They were ok. Needed some "tanginess". Our waiter brought us a few hush puppies. Cheddar style with a little heat. Delicious! I ordered the Parmesan Haddock served over linguine. (Asked that the fish be served on a separate plate). The Haddock was a knock out solid home run. Flaky and tasty. The best tartar sauce ever to hit my Lips. Unique in every fantastic way. It's a must try. The linguine was ok. It's was missing tomatoes noted in the description. I also tried a cup of the kitchen sink gumbo. Major miss. Lacking flavor. On a rainy day you want your gumbo to have flavor. The toasted beget was slightly "burnt". My sister really enjoyed her beer battered cod. She's not a huge seafood/fish lover but enjoyed her sandwich and she bragged for 20 minutes on the Mac n cheese. The banana pudding is from another planet. It was delicious! Service. Greeted warmly and seated quickly. It took way too long to get tartar sauce. Asked for extra when ordering...especially for the sandwich and none was brought out with the food. A slight oversight but when we reminded our waiter it was still forgotten about and we had get up to go it. When the dessert was brought out our waiter cleaned the table and took our silverware. No biggie but an inconvenience.

    The food was good and the service is nice. I got my food to go and the mahi mahi was dry, but maybe it cooked more on the drive home. The vegetables and mashed potatoes were tasty.

    Tricky Fish is a coastal cajun restaurant near Whole Foods. They offer lunch and brunch specials and cocktails specials daily. The food is great, very well seasoned with lots of flavor. The dining room is large and open. They also have a wonderful dog friendly patio. The service is good, the staff is very knowledgeable about the menu. Overall, really great.

    Bourbon Sherry Linguine
    Ashley A.

    We recently visited Tricky Fish for a celebratory lunch honoring a great friend, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Our party of 11 truly enjoyed every last bite. The food was absolutely delicious, and the portion sizes were very generous. Started off with their sample of hush puppies and a side of butter. Highlights included the Kitchen Sink Gumbo loaded with shrimp, fish, chicken, andouille, and rice; the rich and flavorful Bourbon Sherry Shrimp Linguine each dish was prepared beautifully and full of flavor. On top of the great food, the service was outstanding. Cristal and Pantera took excellent care of our large group, keeping everything running smoothly with friendly, attentive service. This was the perfect spot for a celebration, and we'll definitely be back. Also they add 20% gratuity to eight or more as a group automatically

    Fried Green Tomatoes -with blackened shrimp
    Tonya K.

    It was our first time here. It is a nice sized and bright space. Nice & attentive staff. Mostly tables vs booths (only seats 4 btw). My etouffe was tasty and mild Spicy (default). The kids meal was good quality & portion for my 7 y/o & came with a drink. Redfish dish was a good portion and tasty; okra was crispy fyi. The fried green tomatoes with shrimp and a nice shareable size and fresh. Bloody Mary was a hit. They do have week day happy hour food & drink specials which are tempting. Definitely worth a try if I'm a seafood mood.

    First time here for lunch at Tricky Fish. Was greeted with a smile upon entering and seated immediately. It has a nice bar area as well as tables. I was here right at noon on a weekday. I ordered the Fish & Chips which comes with fries and slaw. The plate/tray with the fish was presented well. The fish was delicious. It was hot and crispy. I liked the tartar sauce, it had a little heat. The slaw was ok and the fries could have been a crispier (personal preference).

    Repeat customers! Service is always friendly and unbeatable. Tonight was no exception. Crystal was awesome! 30A Queso with shrimp added was a nice starter along with the hush puppies during their happy hour. Good deals during happy hour! Family gave thumbs up on the Fish Sandwich with coleslaw and grilled Mahi Mahi with loaded mashed potatoes & grilled squash. Now, to the current special. Crab Stuffed Shrimp = OMG!!! Orzo pilaf with spinach, mushrooms, & grape tomatoes in a lemon butter sauce!!!

    Happy hour always goes well! The service is always great! All my bartenders are just wonderful! Today is St. Patrick's Day!!!

But from the very first phone call, Sophie at Blackland Distillery showed nothing but grace and patience. She allowed us to keep pushing back our reservation without a hint of frustration, and that alone deserves a standing ovation. When we finally arrived, what could've been a ruined evening turned into one of the most memorable nights we've had. Every single person we encountered at Blackland was incredibly kind and welcoming. Marshall greeted us with warmth, and Jeremy? He's not just a bartender--he's a cocktail artist. The drinks he crafted for us were next-level, easily some of the best we've ever had. He truly understands spirits and how to elevate them. We were genuinely torn when it was time to leave for our dinner reservation at Wicked Butcher--honestly, we could've stayed sipping Jeremy's creations all night. Before we left, we got to meet Sophie in person (she stuck around!), and by that time, we had sampled every single spirit Blackland offers. Each one was exceptional--smooth, bold, and full of character. Take home message: Top-tier spirits, an amazing vibe, and a team that genuinely cares--Blackland Distillery turned a stressful day into an unforgettable celebration. We'll be back... and next time, we're staying all night.

However, I find the food to be quite a let down, not worth the price. I had the sourdough and it was good. I had the steak and fries for the main course with the upgrade cuts of steak. The fries were well seasoned however not all was good evenly and some over cooked and some undercooked. The steak was okay, the sears were bad and so was the overall flavor. Overall, I think it's a great place for a business meet up and if you are standing at the property but nothing too special. Note: this was lunch menu and I heard the burger here is good so many you can try that but I wouldn't recommend the steak at all.
