On a busy Saturday evening I was seated quickly, promptly served, and the food was excellent and fast. Crab cakes had a perfect ratio of breadcrumbs, they have a very meat only heavy cake, which is my preference. Highly recommend the seasonal Blackberry Mule, it wasn't sweet but very balanced.

A good casual seafood spot in the middle of Main Street, more so when it's not struggling to handle a ton of people. Compared to similar restaurants on the street, it doesn't stand out much, but walking in immediately gives you that old-school, all wooden charm of a storied Gulf Coast establishment. We came during the city Christmas event, and they were doing their best to handle the masses with what felt like a skeleton crew...it felt like only 2 people were serving the entire floor, with bussers and cleaners flipping tables like a NASCAR out crew. When we finally got a table, it was a solid 10 minutes before a server came by, but he was in good spirits, and thanked us for being patient. My clam chowder looked a little empty, but had plenty of flavor. The catfish came out golden brown, yet tender enough that my toddler devoured it. Honestly worth a visit on a regular day, when all of DFW isn't on Main.

Located on Historic Main St. in Grapevine, Big Fish offers a great variety of seafood in a fun, seaworthy atmosphere that almost makes you feel oceanside. We had the fried shrimp and fish baskets with waffle fries — everything was cooked perfectly, served hot, and with a smile. To finish, we shared the bread pudding, and wow — what a treat! A generous portion topped with Whiskey Cream Sauce that paired beautifully and gave it a smooth, rich finish. We left full, happy, and energized. Good food, great service, and fair prices. Definitely a keeper!

Great first time here. Food was delicious and plentiful. It was busy and had to wait, had to wait for service a bit all night but maybe 1 extra person busy days could help customers needs. There's a lot of seats in a narrow restaurant, so you may feel a little squeeze or in the way.

my wife and I and my daughter and son in law wanted good seafood because we are from Maine, and we found it. I got the crab legs special, they were sweet and tender, with plenty of butter

I stopped by for a catfish takeout dinner. The service was quick & the food was good. The bar waitress was very friendly & attentive. Had to use the restroom which needed attention.

I was in the area and decided to stop by and have some lunch. It’s a cute, small restaurant that wasn’t too busy. I ordered the shrimp and crawfish etouffee - it was a decent portion size but there wasn’t any flavor at all so it was mediocre. Husband order the shrimp and crawfish pasta- now this plate was really good. Service was not good at all. Never received a refill and the waitress was nowhere to be found. Pretty disappointing. Side note: the toilets don’t flush.

I have to be honest the serving sizes were very small here for the price. The host staff was very slow to seat, even though there were open seats. The wait staff and the bartenders were fantastic. Overall, the food was average at best. Would not recommend unless you’re only gonna sit at the bar and you were only gonna eat appetizers and drink

I’m sure this place has better dishes, I just happened to stumble on the ones that weren’t for me. Had the popcorn shrimp and crab cake dinner. For the shrimp, I know vein/deveined shrimp are a personal preference, and mine is definitely deveined. The grittiness is like finding bits of sand in every bite. The ones without the digestive tract were okay with the sauce. The crab cakes were okay. They do not look appealing and felt more like a crab flavored pancake. I wouldn’t order them again. The most flavorful thing in the plate was the rice.

The food was okay overall. According to my sister the fried oysters were great. I ordered a simple shrimp basket and the shrimp were good but nothing special. The drinks were just okay as well.…

Dissapointed. We stayed at GWL and decided to go out for dinner. We ordered buffalo shrimp(good), Caesar salad(dressing had no flavor), redfish(very dry and lacked seasoning even with cream sauce) with potatoes, under cooked vegetable melody blackened catfish po boy and fried catfish with waffle fries. Decided to give the dessert a shot because it looked so good online. It came out looking great, but the sauce and cake just lacked taste. Just wasnt worth it.

I was hoping for some good seafood, but my first visit to Big Fish Seafood Grill & Bar didn’t quite live up to expectations. When I walked in, three servers were gathered at a table joking around, even though the restaurant was fairly busy. They eventually came over and seated me, but the first impression wasn’t great. The booth itself was also uncomfortable — the seat cushion felt worn out, like the spring inside had given up years ago. Since it was my first time here, I asked a few questions about the menu. My server was friendly and helpful, so I decided on the catfish and shrimp plate. Before ordering, I asked if it was enough food for an average adult, and she assured me the catfish fillet was “pretty large.” Unfortunately, when it arrived, the portion was incredibly small — so small that even my server admitted it was unusually tiny and offered to “take care of it.” A few minutes later, she brought out another fillet, which was a normal portion and much better. The problem came when the bill arrived: “taking care of it” apparently meant charging me an extra seven dollars for the second fillet. I didn’t expect to be billed extra for what was clearly a kitchen mistake, especially after the server acknowledged the issue herself. The food itself tasted fine, and the shrimp and catfish were cooked well enough. But the experience left me disappointed. I never saw a manager during my visit, and the overall operation felt a bit unorganized — almost like a group of teenagers were running the place at their own pace. Hopefully, my visit was just an off night, and others have better luck.

The atmosphere was fantastic! The appetizer was delicious along with the sauce as well. I LOVED the drinks as well along with the live music. The only thing I dislike was my meal. It was lacking Spicy Nashville chicken sandwich I had a taste and the mashed potatoes were too dry. Not creamy at all. Even if I was to minus the spice on the chicken sandwich, it lacked a lot of sauce in my opinion. The sever however was great and VERY attentive. I may go back and just try something different.

The staff is here is awful. Paul the waiter and a couple other waitresses are phenomenal. I usually come here once a week or every other week. I get off work relatively late and head there right after work. I was told that just as long as im there 30 minutes before closing I will be served. This is now the third time they've turned me away when I've been there well before the 30 minute mark. I've tipped Paul $150 on a $120 tab and I usually tip the waitresses 30-35%. So unfortunate that I will not be coming back to this restaurant again.

Didn't get to eat at all. Asked hostess for a booth and she said all full so sat us at a table in front of door. It was a blustery night and it was cold outside so every time the door open we got blasted. As we sat, we saw an open booth and the next couple after us got it! Then another couple left another booth and we asked for it. Said we had to ask server to change. Server came over and he was very gracious and he said he'll take care of it and get it cleared. Shortly after he left another couple came in and the hosted seated them in that spot. Just get rid of the hostess. We then just left and went to Jake's down the street and their food was great. We typically eat at Big Fish once a month and enjoy the food but that experience just turned us off. For reference it was the night of January 16th 2026.
