Very friendly staff. Cute little gem downtown. Good food and lemonade. Highly recommend if you are looking for a small relaxed environment.

Nice and cozy seafood place. Priced fair, food was awesome. Can get packed quick at lunch but the staff was able to accommodate everyone in a timely manner. Will be back again when in the area.

We have been visiting this location for many years. You always receive the same excellent service and truly great food. This is one of the few places where I eat fish.

This place has character! At first glance you may pass on it, but it's worth stopping in! I was in Dallas for a work conference and passed this leaving the airport, our Uber driver recommended it. We went back the next day for dinner and it was great! The staff there is very friendly! The only fried fish that they have is catfish but there are a few other options if you choose grilled fish.

Great place for fried, grilled or boiled seafood. Highly recommend the fried catfish and oysters on the half shell. I have eating at this restaurant since 1999 but hadn’t been back in over 15 years. It is still very very good!

It's as if you just stepped off the fishing boat right onto the dock-- greeted by the sound of deep fryers crackling, and the voices of friends chatting. This is fish and chips at its best. Many choices here with an easy to follow menu. Burgers and wings served too. Many thanks to the locals who referred us.

We happen upon this adorable restaurant when we were exploring Dallas. I’m in East coaster so I love my seafood and I am very critical. This was delicious and I loved that the batter didn’t have MSG and you could get it without seasoning. I had the shrimp and it was delicious. my son had the fish fillet and it was so well priced. We spent $22 and had two lunches. You order at the counter just like we do back east at the fish shops, and it had the hustle and bustle of a back east fish eatery. Not fancy, but full of locals which is a great sign!

Ordered the whole catfish 1lb fried pickles and a coke. All were excellent the delivery was nice and easy and not confusing. The atmosphere is a nice mix of hearing cooking food, people talking, dishes being collected it’s a friendly and warming environment to eat in would come every day.

I love the coastal ambiance here; it's incredibly laid-back and cool. The fact that you can place your order at the counter and they bring your food to you adds to the charm. I opted for the breaded fried filet and shrimp, and while it was almost not seasoned at all, I believe they did it to let the fish's natural flavors shine. Although, I did find myself craving a bit more salt. Thankfully, they provided an ample supply of tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, hot sauces, and salt and pepper. The hush puppies were amazing though For dessert, I indulged in the coconut pie and chocolate pie, and both were incredibly delicious. They weren't overly sweet but had fantastic flavors. I'm definitely planning to return and sample some of their other dishes.

A Lyft driver recommended the gumbo here. While it was good the steamed seafood basket was better. Free parking and service with a smile!

I’ve enjoyed this place for years. The seafood always tastes fresh. This trip I ordered the gumbo and added sausage. Parking can be a bit tight when it’s busy, but otherwise, I can easily recommend this place.

It’s definitely a hidden jewel in oak lawn. The catfish and fries are worth trying! Nice views of downtown Dallas and city lights. The food is very delicious! The only downfall is the limited seating they have and the service. Well I didn’t receive the best service. They took almost while to take my order so I stood at the counter for the longest. The guy taking orders cared more to deliver food to tables than to take my order. Then when my food was ready I had to go to the counter and get it myself. Almost everyone in the place got their food delivered to their table but I did not. Rather than that it is definitely worth trying and I will definitely be a regular here!

Living near this area and patronizing local businesses, this spot was on my list to try. Deciding to do exactly that on this evening with a lite crowd ordering was a breeze. Food came out fresh, hot, and very nicely presented. A very good serving worth the price. I think I'm hooked on this place. The only con was the tea. It was very weak in flavor.

I’ve been here a few times, and I think the location of this place gives it a great advantage. The food is okay, and the ambiance isn’t bad. However, I don’t think there’s anything particularly special about the restaurant—just sharing my honest opinion. We were a group of four people who stopped by, and the service was fast. The restaurant was a bit quiet that day.

The atmosphere and the service here is really good. I didn't have a single issue with anything besides the quality of the food. I had the four jumbo shrimp with the two fillets and a side order of fried okra. They asked if I wanted it seasoned when I ordered. I told them yes. The food was so lightly seasoned that they could have just skipped asking me that question. The food was extremely bland. I had to ask twice for them to add seasoning. The fish taste like it had been frozen then thawed out in water for hours. There was absolutely no flavor to it. I had to drown everything in hot sauce. The best part of the meal was the hush puppies. Those were amazing.

I am sorry to say, after almost 20yrs as a quick lunch go to, it's food, service, and atmosphere has a bit to brush up on! I hope they are able to with stand this time test.

The decor here is great. I followed a happy hour sign in because the char-grilled oysters and the low-country calamari looked amazing. 6:05. "Happy hour is 3-6." I said, "That's okay. Charge me more. Take my money." "The system won't let me put it in. You can only get oysters fried or raw." ...Or not at all? Rigid thinking. I got the fish tacos, which were pretty, but unremarkable and too spicy for my taste. Slaw was meh, as were the beans. The waitress forgot my drink. You need to order and tip before being seated. I want to like this place, but just can't.
