Ocean Bites Syracuse Reviews
Never heard of this place before and seen it on doordash and it was definitely a good decision to order. The fish was cook perfectly and the Mac salad was homemade and had all the right flavoring and spices to it.
Excellent food! Excellent portions! Excellent atmosphere!
Amazing place I could not recommend more! Friendly, attentive, humorous staff. We waited about 35 minutes for a seafood boil and we could not have been more happy or asked for more😍. So many flavors and options, add ons, etc. We can not wait to go back!!
Incredible fish, both breaded and broiled! The guys were wonderful, and the portions were gigantic!! Bravo!!
Food was ready at designated time. EVERYTHING was excellent. Ordered there for pickup a few times. Some may think the prices are high, but you get fresh, perfectly prepared seafood that is difficult to find in Syracuse. Staff is efficient and friendly.
My wife and I's go to spot for seafood. Always delicious, great portions and friendly staff. We usually order to go but the restaurant itself is bright and clean.
We came in having never heard of the place. Place was very clean, employees were friendly and food was excellent. Hushpuppies were cooked just right with excellent flavor. Fish sandwich was almost too much to finish and fries were hot and crispy. Boom boom shrimp tacos were also very good. Will definitely go back and be spreading the good word.
We tried the seafood boil and the fisherman's platter. Both were exceptional and more food than we could eat. Add in the decent prices and we will be back. Very happy!
Clean and beautiful restaurant. Perfect for date night or even to bring the kids if you want an inexpensive yet yummy lunch/dinner. Amazingly friendly staff/owners, affordable and delicious food! If you haven’t tried this place yet, do so soon! You won’t be disappointed! Thank you for a wonderful experience!
My favorite seafood spot in town! It's my go to place when I just want to indulge in some great seafood, corn, broccoli's, potatoes, and a whole lot of flavor!! Nothing better than breaking up shellfish, delving into it, AND it tasting great! Service is fantastic and the portions are huge! I had it to go, but the restaurant has plenty of seating and booths.
I only have 4 stars for atmosphere only because the place is pretty basic and food is all served on paper plates with plastic utensils so it isn't that the atmosphere is bad, just very, very casual. My salmon dinner was AMAZING and came with huge portions of sides, I had enough to save for lunch the next day. My roommate's seafood platter was all fried sea food and that didn't appeal to me but she said everything was really good. Next time we will probably pass on the appetizers. Wanted to find out what crab Rangoons are like when they actually have crab in them but pretty sure these didn't. I thought the crab cakes were ok but my roommate wasn't a fan. So they were fine but not as great as the entrees. If we had skipped apps we would have been in the $20-30/person range (after tax and tip) instead of the $30-$50 range.
The customer service was very friendly and hospitable. They are so welcoming and I love the fact that you can see all ur food being prepared. LET ME TELL U THEY GIVE YOU A LOT OF FOOD. I CAME IN TOWN TO VISIT AND THIS PLACE WAS RECOMMENDED AND WE LOVED IT. MY BROTHER MADE SHRIMP FRIED RICE WITH THE THE LEFT OVER SHTIMP (pic #3) Shrimp lovers heaven!! WE WERE UNABLE TO EAT ALL OF THE SHRIMP. GREAT SPOT VERY CLEAN...MUST TRY IF U LOVE SEAFOOD
The food was very good! The employees were helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. The neighborhood is sketchy and random sketchy people were milling around outside and in the restaurant. This is a grab your food and go kinda place, not a sit down and enjoy family time place. They do have seating but it's not a comfortable place to enjoy a leisurely meal.
We all had the haddock platter. Fish was plentiful french fries delicious. Clam good.. butter was real. Very clean. Plenty of seating. More of a take out place. One free video game !!!
