Don't doubt me, it's a 5 star places between location, parking, food, atmosphere, and service. Tonight was a fish eat out and we hadn't been to The Star for a evening meal yet. Take advantage of Blue/Silver parking garages or valet nearby. Short walk from either garage. We made reservations via Open Table just to be sure to get in. Try one of their specialty drinks worth the extra price. They feature several meals which you only have to choose the protein to go with it. Be very hungry or better take some home as leftovers. You must leave room for dessert. We went for the French Toast Pudding (pieces of toast with vanilla ice). Too yummy to describe so look at the photo I posted. read more

Tricky Fish - Fish & Chips to go, but one? o_O - Seafood Near Me - Frisco, Texas

Such a fun place! First, the bar has a good selection of beer, wine and specialty drinks. Tried a local Amber at the bartender's recommendation that was marvelous. Next the food...yum! I had the redfish with warm spinach and fried onions. My friend had shrimp and grits. Then we shared a great dessert. Everything was perfectly prepared. Finally service...our waitress and the bartender checked on us just enough. They were friendly and efficient. I will be back soon to try some of the other entrees. read more

If y'all are looking for AMAZING quality seafood and cocktails- THIS PLACE. Holy wow! We went to celebrate my girlfriend's moms birthday last night, she had been wanting to try it for a while. It was a Monday night, so we were one of the few tables. The atmosphere was really chill, kinda a more upscale casual. We were greeted immediately by Anna, and she got us our waters asap. She was informative of our question about their smoked old fashioned, that was awesome. They have the coolest method of making and serving it and it was delicious! The food was also incredible, everything melted in your mouth, no joke, I've never had better catfish, shrimp, and don't even get me started on the fried okra. Unfortunately I was allergic to everything else but my girlfriend and her parents are already ready to go back, as well as me! So yeah, don't walk... RUN to Tricky Fish at the Star! And definitely ask for Anna :) Oh p.s. the manager, Cody, was also very friendly and had a real good energy about him! You can tell he cares about his staff and restaurant, which being a server myself is a huge deal! Def coming back!! read more

Food is great! They do have some great lunch specials, which is not common at restaurants at the Star. Service is always consistent!

I ordered the fish and chips and Caesar salad, the fish and fries were good, but their Caesar salad needs some work, okra on a salad ? Not ok! read more

Tricky Fish had been on my list to try since I've heard about them and I'm glad we finally stopped by!! We came in during lunch time on a Sunday, and they were not too busy yet. We ordered the fried calamari to start. The calamari came with fried banana peppers and okra. The seasoning on the okra is pure chef's kiss. The whole appetizer was so sooo good!! I can't stop thinking about it! Highly recommend getting this appetizer! Soooo much flavor and the calamari was cooked very well! Not chewy at all! Just the right texture! Next came our entrees. We ordered a fish and chips for the kids, which comes with one huge fried fish. The batter and fish were cooked very well. I'm usually hesitant about fish and chips since it's usually a pretty bland dish imo, but at Tricky fish, their batter has flavor! Lol... my kids devoured it along with the fries! My husband had ordered their crawfish ettouffee which he really enjoyed. I ordered their special that day which was a grouper with chimichurri sauce, roasted potatoes and some seasoned carrots. OMG... I've only had chimichurri sauce with beef and never had it with fish before. Sooo freaking amazing!! All of the flavors of this dish work so well with each other. There wasn't one thing that we didn't like there!! We'll definitely be back to try other dishes! read more

Great food and atmosphere, across from The Star in Frisco. We came across this location and will definitely be returning with friends.

The food was good. The etouffee was a little spicy, delicious. My kids didn't like the chicken strips because the breading was the same as what you'd use for fish. The Mac n cheese was good though. The rum runner was delicious! It's loud, which is fine for small groups - wouldn't recommend if you're trying to have a lot of conversation though. There was an outdoor option which was much quieter. Service was great. read more

Wonderful service by Mario and bartender. Food was fresh and delicious. Had the oysters on the half shell, gumbo and fish and shrimp. Mario was very personable and helpful as we perused the menu. We will be back! read more

Food, Service and ambiance was a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back with family and friends.

5Star, great food, great staff... I love the drinks and will be coming back. Catfish PlatterBoudin

Tricky Fish gets 2 stars for the really good food only. Family was there Saturday for a late lunch. We never got our appetizer of calamari, french fries instead of cole slaw that was ordered with one poe boy. Husband was served incorrect fish with shrimp etouffe. He is allergic to shellfish so not what he ordered. It had to be sent back. No ketchup or ranch for fries as the waiter forgot about it as well. It was our daughters birthday so very disappointing Needless to say we don't plan to return read more

Went for the crab cakes (awesome!) but, y'all... I was instantly ADDICTED to the Ginger Peanut slaw!!! I DON't even LIKE coleslaw. My husband was shocked! They have four kinds of slaw... the Mae Ploy slaw was a little sweet and spicy, also phenomenal. WHO KNEW I am a slaw person?!? I'm gonna Door Dash a pound of the Ginger Peanut slaw just by itself! Ray offered to hook me up with the Ginger Peanut slaw and I am grateful. Our server, Daniella, was excellent and so friendly. We will definitely be back! read more

Menu needs to be more detailed. I ordered salmon with lemon butter orzo but I got orzo with other unmentioned ingredients like tomatoes, sliced red onion, some purple cabbage and mushrooms (I hate mushrooms and they were never mentioned, not even when I asked the waitress to describe it).. The orzo was inedible for me so I asked for a different side and they brought me room temperature "loaded" mashed potatoes. I took two bites and left it, just wasn't feeling it. I basically paid $23 for a small piece of salmon. The salmon was good. For my drink I ordered a mule but it was pretty much all juice. I had to ask for a side of vodka because I could not taste any in the drink. We also ordered calamari as the appetizer but note it's calamari and banana peppers so half and half with hard to eat okra on top. The calamari was good just barely any there. Positive things, the waitress was nice and attentive, my husband liked his butterfly shrimp (his sides just ok) and my kids enjoyed the burgers and fries. Over all we did not love it and will likely not be going back. read more

It's pretty good. We sat at the bar. Service was great. Beer needs to be ice cold. Sadly, the beers we ordered were not. Spicy margarita was really good though. The food was good but, disappointing too. We ordered the tricky fish. One with mahi the other redfish. Both needed extra spice. This place has a nice atmosphere and the service was good. Wish the food was better. read more

Such a great place with fresh seafood. I was immediately greeted and seated upon arriving. I asked the waitress for a recommendation and she suggested the Kitchen Sink Gumbo. This was under the appetizer section but the bowl was plenty to fill up and all for under $15. The view is great considering that you're looking at the training facility for the Dallas Cowboys. read more

Had the crab cakes and they were so fresh and cooked perfectly. My husband at the red snapper blackened with orzo pasta and it was equally as delicious. Their painkiller cocktail is amazing. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back read more

I had no idea this place was here. I love a good seafood place. Tricky fish is definitely a place I'd recommend giving a shot. Love the fact that they have patio seating and prices are fairly reasonable. Seems to be a place that will grow as it has a lot of potential... especially in this location. The shrimp and crab bisque was AMAZING!!! Loved it. I also got the fish sandwich which was Abita beer battered cod with fries. Fries were very tasty and well seasoned. The cod was decent I wanted more flavor (salt and pepper would've worked) but it was not a bad fish sandwich and I'd definitely get it again and return! The only con I have was experiencing a very rude waiter/server... her name was Marleen. If she's not there, I'm sure you'll have a great experience. The manager was extremely nice and hopefully having a rude server won't ruin business here. I'd say fix that fast before she ruin reviews. She's a vibe killer for sure and did not seem to care about providing great customer service or even being courteous to say the least not one bit. read more

Service and food is excellent, come early or make a reservation but it is great for family or date night.

Best fish & chips, and fried oyster around town! Fish was huge size but very moist and crispy. Oysters were also very good. On the other hand, Cobb salad was little too sweet. Thai chicken wings were good but didn't taste strong Thai flavor. read more

Located at the star, so parking isn't an issue. Service varies, the most recent visit, my waitress was not pleasant and welcoming at all but other times I've had great service experiences. In the future I will not allow her to wait in us. The vibe is very casual inside. Okay on to the food ... delicious! I go there because the food is flavorful and consistent. The margaritas are good too. The redfish and Mac and cheese are favorites. The French toast Sunday and banana pudding are both good if you have a sweet tooth after dinner. read more

Love Tricky Fish. Food is freshly made and dishes are interesting, flavorful and delicious. Servers are friendly and pay attention to the details. Restaurant offers tables and booth seating as well as a large bar. I've tried the shrimp and grits twice. Tasty. Highly recommend. read more

Food was absolutely terrible, everything ordered had no flavor. Only thing that had Flavor was the Mahi Mahi and it was not fresh by any means.

Tricky Fish - Catfish and Shrimp Platter with fries and dirty rice - Seafood Near Me - Frisco, Texas

To start: limited street parking but attached garage was easy to navigate. Drinks: limited beer selection - cocktail menu looked okay. FOOD: very average - like Applebee's of fish. We started with calamari- too much breading for my taste and breading bland. I had gumbo- fish in gumbo good, but gravy had heat and no flavor. My sister had bacon wrapped shrimp entree- good flavor, a little soggy. My daughter had fish tacos with mahi- mahi was too soggy for tacos. The pico had SO MUCH onion, it was unpleasant! Service: servers were nice. One entree came out 5 minutes after all the other food- given that it was not busy at all, this was unexpected and annoying. If you are at Ford Center for an event, this would be okay to grab a bite - but don't go out of your way to come here! read more

Food was delicious. Portions large. Friendly staff. Will definitely go back. I had the fish and chips. Couldn't finish. Delicious!

Delicious seafood plates. Ambiance is so chill overlooking the Star at Frisco. The fish and chips are yummy and the shrimp place comes with rice was also very good. Prices are very reasonable too. read more

We ordered beers, etouffee and shrimp and grits. The ambiance is fun and family friendly. The Manager was so nice. As a lover of all food from LA, I felt like the etouffee was over salted, which ruined the plate. I had heard this already but wanted to try it for myself. The shrimp and grits were delicious. A tad salty but not like the etouffee. We'll be back to try other dishes. read more

Love this place! Food is great and service is the best. The manager is so kind and friendly. The staff is wonderful.

I was pleasantly surprised how good the food was, and our server Ms. Sydney was awesome! Definitely will be returning next time I am in the area! The drinks were on point as well. Restaurant itself was very clean and comfortable. The other staff were friendly as well. Only reason I won't give it 5 stars is because we don't have one near me in Rockwall, TX. read more

Ok here's the thing, the food is good there. But this location I've tried twice and each time has been a super let down. I've frequented the location in Richardson a bunch I usually go there about 10x a mth, this other location I've only ever been twice. The servers are nice, the food is always good but there's just always an issue. The first time was when there were about 4 people in the resturant and my food took about 25 min and my drink took so long my husband was on his second round and I ordered my first round with hi, and then when it came it was aweful the bartender tried to fix it and made it worse I ordered another drink completely, of course still paying for the mini sip from the aweful drink. When the check comes and we told them we were tax exemption see managers and owners hovering over the computer trying to figure out what it is and if it's legit, so that took a long while. I received an email over the weekend about 20 percent off we were headed to a game in Frisco so we thought why not give them another try the 20percent off hopefully makes up for the aweful drink I wasted money on last time. Food came out fast, service great, there was a male manager super friendly he always comes up and talks to us and our son. But of course check time comes later and everyone's confused again about the tax exempt, they said they can't honor 2 discounts at once I told them tax exempt Is not a discount it's a right, tribally, I don't pay a single sales takes in the USA. My status is that of a tribal nation/diplomat. It's not a discount they said they could honor one or the other. I was highly dissapointed. I could have went anywhere in this city on Labor Day the only day my husband and I are both off work and we came there and they don't honor our right to exemption because they are categorizing it as a discount. When the manager came over she apologized and said nothing she could do. I to,d her to call the other location(s) heck even FT worth and they all never have a problem finding the button on the POS system, they just take my ID entree my govt. Tax Exempt ID # listed on there and that's it. She said okay I will give them a call next time, as they give me the bill anyway. It's literally a violation of my rights. The only reason why the complaint didn't get taken up w/ our tribal govt offices is because I absolutely love Tricky Fish in Richardson and if it wasn't for Cindy and the other 2 managers that are so accommodating and non discriminatory I would never frequent this place again. read more

We had a large group (13) and T]the food was very good as was the service. Next time I'll ask that they dial back the salt on the shrimp and the fries. Overall a very good experience. read more

Tricky Fish - Fresh, hot and delicious. - Seafood Near Me - Frisco, Texas

Stopped by Tricky Fish while at the Ford Center for a sports event and it was one of the few restaurants during half time that was able to sit us without a wait. We had the cat fish platter and seafood tacos. The cat fish itself was very yummy, the only thing I wish was that it was fried for a little bit longer as it was a bit mushy. Still super yummy the way it was. The seafood tacos were also tasty and were topped with a nice cheese that really rounded out each bite. The Mai Tai was a bit disappointing, but I think that was just because the staff was being hit with rush hour and put the drink together. Overall, I still think this restaurant is worth coming by. You can tell that the management really values each customer. They go out of their ways to open the doors for you to the restaurant and stop by your table to say thank you for eating with them. read more
