fish city grill

absolutely love this place. the staff is friendly and the food is fresh tasting and delicious. if you like a bloody mary then you must try one from here. the grits are the best i've had. hard to go wrong with anything on the menu.

not good today. been there three times. first 2 times were good. this time the appetizer was cold and asked to have it warmed. came back cold again. main course average.

one of the best. my boyfriend and i stopped by because we were craving seafood and it was the best decision we have ever made. our calamari appetizer was so good and was gone in 2 minutes. the service was fast and our waiter never let our water drop past half empty. the fish and shrimp were probably the best we have ever had. the prices are also pretty reasonable. we will definetely come back soon.

went there this evening. ordered 6 blue point oysters, fried pickles, and a crab and shrimp boil for two. the boil did not have any seasoning and cost $10 more than where we usually eat, and was same portion as for one person there. i don't think the shrimp was cooked thoroughly because it was a little mushy. the oysters were the only good thing we had. also their plates left a mildew smell on our hands that we can't get rid of.

we do enjoy this great little seafood place!. date: 7 nov 2014, tonight we wanted to stretch out for some seafood. we don't visit this place all that often but when we do we really enjoy the grub. we have found fish city grill to be consistent on great service, meal specials, and tasty fresh seafood. the evening began by elyse (waitress) sharing the meals of the day organized by manager/chef chris. the staff prepared a wonderful meal for us to include steamed oysters, house salad, claim chowder, and two delicious salmon entrees. the crew sure can serve up some tasty flavored food...we were definitely pleased with the flavor of our entire meal. thanks to the fish city team for performing so well on this evening...hat's off to manager carlos hernandez, waitress elyse, cooking team roberto, alex, jose', and louis for a well prepared meal. we will sleep well tonight.

outstanding!!! good gosh...crab, crab, crab. all you can eat--crab!. 26 may 14. on this evening we decided to hit this restaurant for "all you can eat crab legs." wow, the crab was outstanding! the flavor of the crab meat was sweet all the way through. most restaurants have a hard time cooking crab requiring one to use a dipping sauce or melted butter. the wait staff and kitchen kept the crab coming with no delays. we often visit this restaurant and have found it to be quite consistent with food quality delivering a wide range of food choices to consider. i would highly recommend this place to bring friends and family to enjoy a wonderful reasonable meal. the staff no doubt has it's act together cooking and serving. thanks again fish city grill crew (chris hillhouse-general manager and waiter-scott) for serving up us another great evening meal.

awesome seafood and service. 23 oct 11. this restaurant can sure cook up some great seafood. the service and food choices made for a wonderful experience. the staff (chris hillhouse-general manager, chef john, and waiter pablo) went out of their way to serve up a superb meal. the staff prepared steamed oysters even though this option was not listed on their menu. the meals we ordered consisted of steamed oysters, oyster nachos, claim chowder, gumbo, salmon, and shrimp prepared in several different ways. the desserts were quite tasty...so be sure to leave some room to enjoy a bit of fish city grill sweetness. we will return some day soon as this place is sure to be a local favorite for many. thanks fish city grill crew for serving up a great meal with attentive service.

eh, this place is ok. i sat at the bar, drinks were weak, i didnt completely trust the fish i got but it was ok. i definitely wouldn't get oysters from here. it smelled extremely fishy inside, i won't be back.

blackened tilapia on cheese infused grits. my fish was undercooked. really did not enjoy my meal.

fish tacos are the best still the best. our children love the popcorn shrimp. my wife likes the specials.

terrible food.. i sent back a shrimp meal b/c the shrimp was obviously spoiled. i was told by the waiter that he asked two other waiters to smell it and said it smelled fine. i'm a 12-year veteran executive chef with a phd in food science, and i was flabbergasted! with this kind of attitude and lack of attention to detail, i would be surprised if someone hasn't gotten ill.

wheres the fish. lots of money for very little food. lots of filler very small portions of the real seafood.catfish fillet was thin and small taste was good.
shrimp was good but only got like four. got lots of rice any asian would be glad with such a good size portion of rice.

fish wish. i think the daily specials are the way to go at fish city grill. everything looks great here from the dark roux gumbo, the shrimp and grits, to their cod based fish and chips, all of which my friends had. they said that the deep dark brown roux and a good file (sassafras) flavor to it. just the way i like it. when asked if the fish and chips were as good as those at zeke's, she honestly said that they weren't. i guess that was a loaded question. i don't think you can find any place that will beat zeke's, but the one's here still were top notch by looks alone and quite good flavor-wise.

i had the black pepper crusted ahi tuna with lemon aioli. it arrived on a nice buttery bed of white rice with equally buttery sauteed green beans. this was one of the best grilled fish meals i have had in recent memory. the tuna was flaky and juicy, accentuated by the lemony aioli sauce; it was just what i was craving for. once again, this was a blackboard special, so it is not on the menu, but if everything on the fresh fish menu is like this, i don't think you can go wrong.

we then finished the evening with peach cobbler. this was not the heavy syrup laden cobbler that i have had in the past, but had several slices of peaches in a lighter sauce. the dough was light as well. neither thick nor exceedingly thin, the crust had the right bite to it. the ice cream was good. probably was blue bell and that is not a bad thing. we all enjoyed the dessert immensely.

this restaurant is not very big by any stretch of the imagination. the bar takes up a lot of space and is the focal point upon entering. there is a couple of rows of booth seating at right angles along the front and right side of the restaurant as well as a number of tables at the center. i kind of felt crushed by the setup even though it was prior to heavy dinner service. there is a divider between the bar and the tables that was not very photogenic, therefore i skipped taking a picture of the area.

the server was very attentive to our needs, bringing us malt vinegar, replenishing our glasses and checking up on us at various times throughout the meal. i guess the best thing that can be said about fish city grill came from my friend who said, "we found another good restaurant. i agree wholeheartedly.

slow roasted pot roast. tastes like awesome!

really good place to eat. half shells is a unique look and feel within the chic shops of legacy area. it's a relaxed bar setting with stamped cement and rustic feel as the decor. it has an instant appeal. chalkboard walls and boards are used throughout the restaurant to list the daily catch and specials.

the blackened tilapia and cheese infused grits were really good. the blackened spices were blended just right with the fresh taste of the tilapia. the grits were very good. the bits of real bacon were a nice touch. my server was top notch. he was attentive and caring. he asked that i come back and bring the family. it was done in such a nice way, that i will probably take him up on it.

fried dill pickles. the fried dill pickles are mouth watering good. .

two words: awe some
