My husband and I decided to try their new gator bites and they were quite delicious! I wish the sace that came with them was a little better but honestly not much of a complaint because it was still good. I also got the grilled shrimp tacos and those were yummy! I enjoyed every bit of the tacos. Comes with rice and beans and I did not like the rice and beans they were very dry. Had little to no flavor and that was probably the worst part. The service was great. They got the food out pretty fast. Everything was hot and fresh!

The raw oysters are fresh and delicious! The shrimp cocktail was also very good. I enjoyed all the different sauces and lemons available at the sauce bar.

This was our first time to eat here and the staff is friendly and helpful. They suggested items from the menu. My fiance wanted me to try the oysters so we got them on a half shell and they were amazing! I got the 2 shrimp and 1 chicken tender fry basket. My fiance got the platter with frog legs,gumbo, and I believe crawfish. Of course, we tried each other’s meals and everything was amazing! All items were seasoned well and the in-house made sauce was the perfect compliment to the dishes! Yes, it’s a little pricey but well worth the money. We will definitely be back!

We ordered the fried gator bites as an appetizer if you’ve never tried alligator this would be a good option they’re bite sized, easy to eat they give you a special sauce to dip them in and were actually pretty tasty. We tried the catfish and shrimp basket both seasoned well and fried just right and my mom tried the gumbo she said it was good. The atmosphere is very inviting nice chill place to bring the family. We’ll have to try again and get other options but for the first time trying Flying Fish comes in a close second to Fish Shack both have similar menu and taste.

We used to love this place. However, tonight was a huge disappointment. Starting with my call in order- Google hours say you close at 9:30. I called at 8:30 & the Hispanic man who took my order was very impatient & basically rude. Said they close at 9:00, almost like he wasn’t even going to take my order at all!

Went to eat something healthy and fresh. Wasn’t disappointed. Ate the grill salmon first with a side of grilled rainbow trout. Highly recommend it

I’m so disappointed we always go here and never have any issues until yesterday . I ordered from door dash and ordered 1 fillet and 4 shrimp and then a shrimp platter . The food had the taste as it had been cooked in old grease . I instantly got sick . I tried to contact door dash and get a refund but they were not able to provide one how disappointing. I’ll probably never eat here again .

My family’s favorite spot to get some amazing seafood from. The crawfish is our favorite. It’s always seasoned perfectly and taste delicious. There is never a wait, the establishment is always clean including the bathrooms, the prices are decent compared to others in the area. Definitely check this place out.

The fish and food here have always been good. This is casual dining where you wait in line, place your order, get your own drinks and supplies. You get a beeper and when it buzzes, you go up to the counter and pick up your food on a tray. This is basically a wait on yourself restaurant. When you go to pay, you are asked to pay a 18, 20, 22% or more tip. You can choose no tip, but the cashier is noticing. You can tell they are not pleased, if you choose no tip. I suggest you pay cash there for your benefit. The average fish dinner is around 16 dollars. Drinks are 3 dollars. If you have 2 people, I really don’t appreciate needing to tip $8 or $9 dollars to wait on yourself.

We order from here for the first time tonight and although the food was cooked nicely and packaged great, the fried fish and shrimp was absolutely not seasoned . Had no flavor had no taste. If I didn’t have the tartar sauce I wouldn’t have ate it. They should consider training the chef on seasoning food. Probably won’t be back .
