Shrimp fish oyster and clams all very tasty 😋 the oysters are small but with a serving of 8oz it's a perfect amount to satisfy the palate. Price was perfect for the amount of food we got. The muffins are very good. The coleslaw is good the green beans I can do without. Overall a good experience definitely will be going back!! The Restaurant was very clean I like that you can get a clear shot of the kitchen and the staff handling the food. Definitely recommend this Place!!!

Great thick fish filets with French fries hush puppies and coleslaw. Great price. It has become my new goto for family fish orders. Place is a little cramped for seating that's why I only order to go.

Good food, good service and nice atmosphere.

Looking for a seafood place for lunch and glad I found Lighthouse. The decor is charming and the staff were friendly. I had the #2 special (fish and shrimp) plus carrot raisin salad. It was all delicious and affordable. Putting this place in my go-to folder whenever I in San Antonio.

This tucked away hidden seafood spectacular restaurant you have to try!! GREAT PRICES, MOUTHWATERING FOOD & FRIENDLY STAFF!!

Amazing fish and shrimp. Doesn't have fountain drinks. Only can sodas. Except for sweet tea. They do have specials from 11-3pm

This was our first time eating here. We wanted some fried fish. We loved the food it was very tasty and the coconut shrimp was very crisp and delicious.the coleslaw was very good and the corn on the cob as well. We really enjoyed our meal. The price was very reasonable for 2 people. We will definitely come back

Such a cute little friendly place. The food was delicious and the people were so kind and helpful.

excellent service.. very good fish and shrimp!!! I love it.. will stop by again.. 😋😋

It's a small and unassuming restaurant, but the food is outstanding! Many years of experience by staff in seafood restaurant businesses shows in the quality of their food.

My husband heard about this place from Joe Acker from the insurance place down the street. He gave it great reviews. So we went. It was very very good. I has fried fish and class He has gumbo and coconut shrimp. We ate and ate.. The food was perfect.. I told him That was the absolute best Cole slaw I ever had... It was phenomenal... The atmosphere was pretty drab but the food was superb..

We were truly impressed by the food and service of this restaurant 🍴 we hope to go back for a second round soon. Thx Hector and his family and employees.

Fresh seafood taste. First time here. I would love to come back but I live in DFW. Great food

Great customer service and Great sea food.

It was an extremely delicious meal at a very reasonable price!

This place is definitely one of the best places for sea food. In my top 5 for sure. The food,the service, the nostalgic atmosphere reminiscent of my younger days when we were taken out to real good quality food at decent prices. Everything about my experience was great. Definitely recommend it if you're in search of great sea food, and great portions at great prices. Bring the family and friends you won't be disappointed.

Great food very nice employees.

Great experience, the food was absolutely delicious

They always make your food fresh and it is so delicious. My daughter loved it too. She even took pictures of the Holiday drawings on the windows.

What a sweet little Hidden Gem!!! Been here a few times but it had been a while … walked in at 11:04 - super clean and greeted by friendly staff!! The fish was 1000% good - the hush puppies were DELICIOUS!!! A real treat!!! Crispy fries and good Cole slaw … yummmm!!! GO & ENJOY!!! We will be back!!!

Good Fish plates Good Prices and great Service...Gots A little Taste Of all Sea Foods to satisfy Your Taste buds..

Hidden gem for excellent seafood. I took my son and brother for dinner last night and they loved it😊😊😊thanks for putting your love into your food and keeping the prices fair🥳🥳🥳

Good music, delicious food and good prices and service. Ceviche is my favorite

Very clean location ... Food is really good .. Service is fast . Highly recommend it!

This is a fantastic spot. This was my first time here, and we had to order the food to go because we had other appointments to attend to. The restaurant was busy but very clean. They scored a 100 on their inspection. My partner and I both ordered the fish sandwich with fries and I wish I had taken a picture but couldn't wait to eat as soon as we got home. I had to smell the food in the car and there was no way I was going to wait any longer to eat. It was a large sandwich, the fish batter was crispy and flavorful. They gave us both a large cut of fish, it was bigger than the bun. Definitely a great value at an excellent price. I look forward to returning to dine in and try other items on their menu. I'll make sure to take some pictures then.

(04-15-2022) The Lighthouse Seafood. I had the shrimp fish soup. It was very good. In my opinion it was comfort soup. To drink I had a lemonade and it was excellent. The building is small so get there early to get a table. They had 12 tables there and a flat screen t.v. If we're in the area, we'll stop and eat.

Great food and prices 👍👍 very clean with friendly staff. The ceviche tostada is a MUST-TRY! I had it as an appetizer to my fish and chips and I really wish I had ordered more 🤤

Great fish plate 3pc with fries 10.49 very good And fish sandwich You will not be disappointed A MUST TRY !!! and Great Service Definitely returning !!!!

Our first time coming here, the food was very delicious. Coconut shrimp was very delicious as well as the Fish platter atmosphere was awesome. Music was played the oldies if you love oldies you Like I do gotta bring my mom over like I said come on down and wonderful food !!

1st time here. I was blown away at the quality and taste. I ordered the fish and shrimp. It was very good and the price was very, very fair compared to other seafood places. I can honestly say I will be back. As of this writing, they offer takeout and dine in.

Had the lunch special, 1 fish, 6 shrimp and it was very good ! Wish I had ordered me 2 fish and 8 shrimp plate 😅 Definitely recommend trying this spot. Nice, friendly service.

I rate the "food" five stars, not because it's gourmet but because it's consistently good good! In all the years we've been ordering food from this local, family owned business, we've never been disappointed! The prices are fair for the amount and quality of food. We always keep coming back for their zesty fish (it's worth the extra charge).

The food was delicious! I had the fish sandwich and the portion was hugh! Will definitely go again.

Made me believe I was on the coast. The fried fish platter was recommended and it did not disappoint. The breading was light and let the seafood flavors come in.. The oysters, shrimp, and fish were fresh. The coleslaw had to have been made that morning.

Fish sandwich was better then Sea Island, the shrimp was good. Haven’t tried their other menu items. Place is really busy ( Friday) and I recommend calling for takeout. At the time they were short staffed. Will definitely order again

Great fish and shrimp as well as other great dishes!! Also the oldies playing just makes it that much better!!

Fabulous food and gumbo. Restaurant is a bit noisy but clean and comfortable.

Yummy seafood with actual malt vinegar. The decor is beautiful. The service and prices are great.

The tastiest tilapia in Texas! They select the best fish, and they know how to cook it. The fried shrimp was great too. Everyone working there is personable and helpful.

Best seafood by far with gooood prices. You will not be disappointed. Thanks Hector and family 👍👍

Well , I'm always looking for somewhere new to eat .Today I wanted Seafood and found the Diamond in the Rough !! OMG FOOD WAS SUPER TASTY !! Prices are reasonable, and customer service was outstanding !! 1st time to eat here now ,my NEW FAVORITE !!

ABSOLUTELY love the food here ... just wish it wasn't to far . This is what I wanted for Valentine's day . Our food & our view ! Thank you lighthouse it was worth the drive ..

Best fish and shrimp I really enjoyed the meal it was delicious and fresh seafood

Food was excellent! I had the Salmon steak plate, and it was cooked perfectly! Lite,flakey and very full of flavor! Outside parking can be a challenge but doable. Place is small,clean and friendly!The wait was a little long but that's to be expected anywhere on a Friday.. during LENT.

A good friend of mine introduced me to the lighthouse and the owner, and you will always always find me ordering some kind of shrimp!

Came here for a Lunch Date with Bae and WE WILL DEFINITELY BE COMING BACK!!! The Catfish and Shrimps!! THE HUSHPUPPIES!!! CHEF’s 💋!!! Loved the Classic Music and The Atmosphere.. Super Friendly!! I’m Telling EVERYONE of THIS GEM!!

I was craving Seafood and saw this place is 4 mins from my hs so went to check out. Service was amazing the food was delicious. The corn bread muffin was so good. The rice was plain tasting i didnt eat much of that but that wont keep me away. Luv this spot!!

The Ceviche on the tostada is primarily meat, so it does taste more fishy and less taste of onion and tomato, if you like that. The Mexican shrimp cocktail is good, the sauce does have a kick to it and you start to feel it when eating it fast.

Laura Rojas

This was our first time trying The Lighthouse. The food was delicious and service was great. We will definitely be coming back.

Small Ocean decorated restaurant. I do enjoy their fish and shrimp special. My husband didn't care too much for the cocktail as it's liquidy but it did have good flavor & big portion . We tend to like the thicker version of the MX cocktail. Service has been quick and very nice. Cost:Shrimp Cocktail , Fish Sandwich w/gumbo, shrimp& fish special , a fish plate & 3 drinks was $50. 😁

Food was so good I forgot to take a picture. I had the fried fish and shrimp. Everything was really good. I will be coming back for sure!

Roseann Medina

Went to The Lighthouse Seafood at 1211 Fredericksburg Rd. and ordered the fish & shrimp platter with corn, green beans, and a corn muffin (cornbread) & Coconut shrimp platter with fries, green beans, and hushpuppies Totaling $32.12 (which includes a charge for using the card and a to go charge). Although we were stuck in traffic on the way home, the food was still hot and soooo filling!

First time I visit the place and I found a pearl in my oysters! 😁 Fish is really good too. I love their jumbo shrimp and ceviche.

Andrew De La Garza

One of my favorite spots! Their green veggies are hot and taste fresh. The fish and shrimp tasted GREAT! Definitely cheaper than the other spots in town, and they also have similar sized portions. Super nice staff and good food will bring me back all the time. I've hit them up many times during the pandemic. Go pay them a visit!

LETTY D

Our first time here. We first ordered our food at counter, then found a table. We were served in a timely manner. The food was delicious. We will be going more often. I took pictures of plates we ordered, my plate with rice also had coleslaw it doesn’t show in picture- I highly recommend this place!!!!

Teresa

Our first time here and definitely won't be our last. The restaurant is nice and clean. The music played is some nice golden oldies. The employees are extremely kind and patient. We ordered the 2 fish, 8 shrimp, and 2 sides. For sides we both got the coleslaw and fries. We also ordered half onion rings and ceviche with tortilla chips. Fish: perfectly battered and tender. Great flavor. Fries: crispy and good. Tartar sauce: really good! They do give a small cup but you can request for more. Hush puppies: 3 were given and they are crispy and yet tender inside. Packs a great amount of flavor. Onion rings: nicely battered, crunchy, and the taste is perfect it isn't that strong onion type. Ceviche: very fresh and refreshing. Delicious Tortilla chips: sturdy style of chips. I think my hubby should have chosen saltine crackers instead. Sweet tea: perfect amount of sweetness. Free refills. Next time I will try their jumbo shrimp! Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.

Our first time here and we really enjoyed it. The food was great. We had the fish and shrimp platter. The service was nice and friendly. We will be returning.

The Lighthouse Seafood Restaurant is located a short distance due west on Fredericksburg from I-10 freeway, it is the only building on a small triangle lot that makes the restaurant look smaller on the outside because it's an optical blue illusion, but once you step inside you get a good surprise; it's bigger inside. The Lighthouse Seafood Restaurant is a family owned and run restaurant that has been in business for nine years and serves up seafood that is well priced and good. The owners and staff are professional and friendly, with the prices around $10.00 dollars. The food is plenty, filling and good. We will definitely return to try a different plate.

First visit and we’re impressed! Fresh, flavorful seafood with crispy fish, shrimp, and sides. Friendly staff, clean place, and great prices. Everything tasted amazing, definitely coming back again!

Gilbert Garcia

There are many restaurants that sell good fried fish n coleslaw . I will be visiting this establishment more often

benjamineric hernandez

Love the food from here. Awesome specials and prices on family orders are good.

Angela Appleton

Small mom and pop place with delicious food! Drop in and eat with the locals. Perfect example of a hidden gem. 😍

Fried fish was good as well as the ceviche. I wasn't keen on the fries. I don't know if it was because I weren't salted enough or they were on the dry end of the scale. My Pop had the lemon pepper fish plate and he loved it. Like lots of businesses, they charge 3% on card usage, so go with cash if you want to avoid that. Other than that, the food was great 👍🏼

When you first walk in, you think you've made a huge mistake. The place looks like a third world slop trough. But you notice the patrons are looking happy, the place seems lively and then you just might find a couple of employees eating at a table in the corner. So you choke back your apprehensions and place your order. Which may take a minute as the options are widely varied and somewhat surprising. When your order arrives you're immediately surprised at how everything looks somebody's mom made it. Not a commercial assembly line. A neighborhood kitchen. Made with love and heart. And then you get started. Inexplicably it tastes even better than it looks. And just keeps getting better with every bite. The portions are generous, the ingredients fresh and prepared with care. Clearly the people that work here eat here for a reason. And you know you'll be coming back. Soon.

Food was fresh and delicious. It's a little hole in the wall close to Coolcrest. It was some of the best fried seafood I've had in San Antonio.

Small neighborhood seafood restaurant. The fish and shrimp were very good and the portions are generous. I recommend trying this place.

If you’re a Seafood lover, then this is the place for you. They get super busy so please be patient when ordering over the phone. My boss orders the coconut shrimp tacos here nearly every week. I liked the Cheeseburgers. Comes with a thick patty and great taste!

Excellent service, clean, 98 on last inspection, only 10 tables, but the food is excellent. Cerviche, blackend pollock, catfish and shirmp.

It was my first time eating seafood at this establishment. My usual place is Rudy's but wanted to find a place that was closer to my house. The service was great and the employees were very nice and polite. The food was good except for the jumbo shrimp because some pieces were undercooked and I just couldn't finish the shrimp. The fries were excellent along with the hushpuppies and other sides that I got. I would give it another try for sure but may skip the shrimp itself.

Been wanting to try this place very good and reasonable

The food is prepared and fresh. The fish is tender and flaky. The coleslaw was fresh and delicious. The only downside was that the floors were dirty with food that fell out from the tables. But overall, a good hole in the wall restaurant.

Science has made major advances in the cloning of human cells. Similarly, the restaurant business long ago figured out how to clone restaurants which are called franchises. I believe that I have found a clone, however, that is not part of a franchise and will elaborate. First of all let me say that the whomever selected the color palette for the restaurant design was not afraid of it, color that is. The glaring blue boxy building with a large lighthouse painted on the exterior at the corner of Fred. and Huisache slaps the eye into focus like a wet fish hitting one in the face. The interior is of similar color boldness, but with a lime sherbet green made electric under fluorescent lamps that leaves one feeling a little fuzzy and maybe a wee bit seasick. A spartan interior with sparse wall decoration and a concrete floor adds to a galley feel and make it known in no uncertain terms that you are here for one purpose, to eat seafood. The fried fish and shrimp offerings more than vaguely parallel a well known family owned operation that contains "island" in the name. I ordered the lunch special "B" which the menu here lists as #1. The light breading on the mild white fish and the fresh gulf shrimp were wholly familiar to me as I enjoyed crispy bite after crispy bite followed by intermittent swigs from a tall bottle of Mexican Coke. The cole slaw came in a larger serving and was similar, but crispy and fresh versus the island's sometimes mushy and insipid little plastic cup full, the fries were done to the point of a slight brown on the outside with the inside still sporting hot, soft potato, and the hush puppies were good, but needed the flavor boost of a little onion. Dipping my shrimp into the balanced, smooth and creamy tartar sauce with my eyes closed, I could easily have been sitting inside the other place with island in the name and that's saying something both for the fried seafood and the tartar sauce. I would even go so far as to say that if the cook did not spend some time chefing for this island restaurant, then tilapia is the tastiest fish you will ever put in your mouth. Not!!! I did notice on the menu that the restaurant would fry up one of these nasty bait fish whole for your dining pleasure, but I will try not to hold that transgression against them. Prices seems to be relatively comparable, but the menu is not quite as large with as much variety as the island place. They do have one item that is not shared between the two restaurants being compared, however, and that's shrimp tacos; 2 for $6.95 with cole slaw! I have got to get me some of these next time.

David Blumberg

Pretty good fried shrimp! Got the Jumbo Shrimp platter - 6 pieces of fried shrimp. It was pretty good, not what I’d call great. A bit sweet, but not indicative of Gulf goodness. Not a date place, but solid anyway. Cooked perfectly though!

Martin Sanchez

Food was great but I got cold corn on the cob, not sure if that's how they serve it but not so good for me. Shrimp and fish was delicious, but the fries not as hot as they should have been. Still, I would return.

Service was slow for us someone else came in after we did ordered and got their food. We came here because it said they were fast. Food was bland.

Marina Ramirez

Decided to finally try this place out, the food is ok. A good portion of the staff is friendly. Will I come back? If it's one of the last options available to me , maybe.

Joe Dale

The staff was friendly and the food came out hot and fresh. My only gig was that I'm not a big fried food eater. Was working in the area and popped in for lunch. Got there early. As we were eating lunch the place filled up fast. It was obvious this was a popular hang out. Although I did not care much for the fried food I got. It was clear everyone around me definitely enjoyed the food.

The food was decent — we just stopped in on our way to the rodeo — but the service was very disappointing. The restaurant is quite small, maybe around 15 tables, yet the staff had a sign posted asking customers to leave immediately after finishing their meal. Honestly, they should add another sign explaining that you’re not allowed to sit until your order has been placed. It felt very unprofessional and frankly rude to be asked to get up from our table while my husband was still ordering. What made it worse was that there were at least three empty tables and other customers already seated without tickets. The policy seemed inconsistent and unnecessary, which really took away from the experience.

The food is good, but now pricey. Portions have dropped since they first open this establishment. I stopped going and referring people because of the guy at the register. He is very rude and acts like a tough guy. Save your money!

I have been to this seafood restaurant several times and although the fried seafood is delicious. I’ve have always wanted to try the blacken fish. Well I finally did and I was very disappointed, the fish was overcooked, and all they did was just add the seasoning to the top of the fish after it was overcooked. No flavor, and it made me lose my appetite.

Absolutely no family orders can be eaten at the establishment ONLY TO GO!!. That makes absolutely no sense. So be prepared order sperate plates for the whole family. Cashier was rude and air conditioning doesnt not work.. I wont be returning...

Chase M Odell

Painfully bland. The breading was soggy and fell apart, it has a washed-up atmosphere. The service was subpar, there are plenty of good seafood places in San Antonio, this is not one of them.

Dont waste your time or money. Trust me your not missing out. Food was very bland. I was extremely disappointed. The restaurant was uncomfortably hot. They have shop fans that offer very little help. Staff wasnt friendly and owner was extremely rude. I honestly dont know how this place has gotten good reviews. If i could give negative stars i would. I dont recommend this place at all.

I went last week on a Thursday. It was after 1pm and all the food was old, it wasn't fresh and even tasted a Lil spoiled. I didn't even ask for my money back because this place was recommended to me by a friend and me and him even got into a argument over this place. I just got up and left. The place is cool and people are nice but just because you hand me old food wiff a smile doesn't make it good. 🎅🏿🙌🏿

Parking was horrible, the tables are next to the order line , the dining atmosphere was not clean enough for me, the the busses cart with left over food and trash was left at the entrance of the front door, buss girl used the same hand towel for all the tables to whipe down, lunch order took too long to prepare, debit transaction have and additional ser charge, the staff was not so much polite to our party. The food was just fish and oil nothing to special I don't see why it would take so long to prepare. The customers bring the money to the business. There was a huge lack of respect for the customers Lastly the dining room area can be cleaned up

The worst food, service and over price for what they call food. After eating it both of us had diarrhea all day. I don’t recommend at all. Their response when I called was it not us. It’s was the only place and food I ate at that day.

Don't waste your time, money, or appetite. This place was awful and it's beyond me how it could possible have good reviews. The food was extremely bland to the point it was gross! The portion size was good, but doesn't count for much if the food is awful. I've been curious about this place for a while so I thought I'd give it a try but i regret it. My drink was $3 and they charge an extra $1 per refill. The staff wasn't friendly and the place was soo hot it was uncomfortable. I'll never go back. You're better off at a fast food seafood place. Nothing gets much worse than this place.

Giselle Martinez

We came here due to Texas Eats review and thought to give it a try. It was a 30 minute wait for our food after paying and sitting. I ordered steak and shrimp with rice green beans and hush puppies. My son got chicken nuggets and fries. My husband got fish and shrimp with fries and hush puppies. Nothing had seasoning or flavor, not even the breading. Hush puppies were the size for toddlers. For the price payed of $50+ and portions I suggest going to SEA ISLAND this IS NOT IT. All of our food we had to season our selves it tasted like nothing, they also did not have Tabasco. I understand why people ordered to go rather than dining in. All to go containers you MUST pay 25 cents for and they will remind you. The lady that came out on the Food Eats review that works there even got up from her eating to let me know. The man cleaning tables was spraying cleaner without moving the condiments, salt or pepper shakers, yes it was sprayed on top of them. If you ask me, I would NOT use them. Crumbs etc off the tables meanwhile he was cleaning were left on the floor afterwards no he did not sweep or pick it up. Steak was a joke, I ordered medium well and I got an over done and tasted like nothing. A1 saved it, like wise with the rest of the food tartar sauce and the capped lid lemon pepper seasoning was used to save our food and coins. If the floor and ceiling tile were replaced and they painted certain areas, it definitely would look better. Although the service, tables and murals were alright we will not be coming back this place is VERY MID. Again if you want to order food to need to have to season yourself that has no flavor, this is the place for you! I honestly don’t know how people like this place or give it 5 stars. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.
