Reviews of Riverside Seafood Market
Fonzo Afre (Mr. Real Reviews)
Pretty good seafood at good prices. My wife torn up the blue crab and spicy crab legs! I enjoyed the buffalo wings w the grilled shrimp. The fish she got was dope; nice and spicy how I like it 😋 definitely worth the buck and the 2$ deal. The seafood tasted like it was properly sourced and cleaned. Definitely a spot I'll return to 💪🏾 …
Melissa G
We got the fried oysters. So good. The crab boil with potatoes. It was good but I wish it was cooked in the sauce more like the potatoes n eggs. But I will buy again. The shrimp Alfredo was bomb. Enough for two even 3 people n they do not short you on shrimp. Place was clean. Staff was polite and friendly. We will be returning!
Stephanie Paul
Delicious shrimp pasta and seafood boil. Great value for the cost and arrived via delivery still hot. Good seasonings and loved the garlic butter sauce.
Matthew Landon Heller
Prices are twice what they are in other photos on here. Clean oil, fresh fried food, they take WIC which was interesting. Polite staff.
L- Anderson
Love Riverside, been going there for years. I had stopped because of the price increase, but they made a slight change. So, I am dining there again. The staff is polite and friendly. Love the cooks, the food is always fresh and ready just when they say. The restaurant is always clean that's what I love most. Keep up the great job!
Markeyda Hill
My daughter and I are from Cleveland and we stopped here because of the reviews and they didn’t disappoint. If ever in Tampa again we will come back.
Deb Gray
It says it has homemade deviled crab. It does, but it's not the usual deviled crab roll that you get in Tampa. It's round instead of football shaped and it doesn't taste anything like the deviled crab roll I was looking for. And it was frickin' $9. On the plus side though, it had plenty of crab on it, wasn't all breading like some are made, which explains the price. If you're really into crab it might be a good choice for you. If you're looking for a good Tampa deviled crab roll, this ain't the place. Also had the conch, again, not what I expected. Was expecting a piece of conch fried and served. I got a conch mixture, that included breading and green pepper and I don't know what else. No kind of sauce to go with it either. All in all I didn't enjoy the experience, however if you don't have any preconceived notions on what you're wanting this is probably fine. It was fresh and the crab roll did have plenty of crab inside.
Julian Waits II
Absolutely amazing time every time! Pasta is insane, seafood is definitely high quality, and the price is one you cannot beat! If you are ever in the area and you've not had Riverside do yourself a favor and go inside!
Annie Daniels
My brother and sister in law come from Ft. Myers and go here every time, this time I went too and I'm glad I did. I had plenty of crabs, shrimp, potatoes and corn. The food was delicious!
Mrs. Roseshall Burgos
Our Order Was Quick And Fresh. Delicious Basa Fish, Mild Wing Dings, And Yellow Rice.
Natalia Wilson
This is for the Zephyrhills location which recently open. The food was absolutely tasty and fresh. I have to keep coming back. Everyone of the staffers are super friendly and courteous. The inside is super clean and inviting. Excellent food and great prices. Best seafood place in Zephyrhills for sure. Please check them out.
Walter L. Jones Jr. (Wait)
The fish and shrimp platter was off the chain. They do have some extremely good food worth the money
Dorothy Wade
First time there the cashier was very friendly and professional!! The cook was on point fast as well as the food thank you guys
Raymond Zeringue Jr
The food is great. The orders are Always correct. And I personally have been getting fried shrimp from this place going on 20 years this year!! My personal opinion, they have the Best Fried Shrimp out of Any restaurant or seafood marketplace in Tampa!!! Yes I said it!!!......*Hidden Gem.
Jim De Mauro
The food is great and the staff very friendly and helpful. We will come back again. Don't expect a spotless chain,franchise. This is a,one of a kind experience. IF you're picky, take your food to go!
Vanessa Bailey
This is my place for seafood the food is always cooked to order and 🔥 when you get it.
Helena B
Decent seafood just wish the consistency was better as sometimes it's perfectly cooked next time over cooked especially when busy.
Mind Water
Food was Awesome and Good customer service ❤ having lunch with My Dad. Glad he suggested this restaurant
Erin Brown
Our waitress was very sweet, but the food was not worth it. The appetizer came out and she said it was very hot. Well the plate was hot, but the dip was cold. My husband ordered the scallop/shrimp pasta and it was cold too.
Cary Christian
A diamond in the rough. This 0lace ha great fish and shrimp selections and platters with fries.
Mesha Covergurl
Food is always fresh and Hot. My Go-to spot for Fried fish and Shrimp. I asked for it to be fried hard and man oh man was it amazing 🤩🤩🤩. The Crab cakes are amazing as well, reminds me of being back home.
Dman9fp 1
Still good & fresh. But just like pdq, don't show up Hungry and expect to be satisfied without paying a small fortune xD
Will J

laysa bano
The food was amazing I’m glad I found them. Quick and easy. Food was fresh to order my favorite was the conch !!!
Lyn Evenson
Oh my goodness!!! If you are looking for an up-to-your-elbow crab feast or a "I'm supposed to eat all of that?!" fish platter, then you MUST go to Riverside Seafood Market. Prices are excellent for the amount of food you will get. Everything was cooked perfectly. The biggest complaint from my group was there was too much food to finish it all.
Great job!!
Blackgurl
Snapper (which I love and is hard to find) with broccoli, yellow rice and red velvet cake for dessert 😋😋😋
Absolutely delicious...I enjoyed it to the fullest...😊 …
Darren Hanley
Nice clean restaurant and friendly staff. The food and service are on point
Brenda Wright
We frequent this place because the food is always very tasty and the portions wonderful.
Art Palmer
I had the shrimp and oysters, my wife had the shrimp and wings. Shrimp and oysters were lightly battered and properly fried - no hint of greasiness at all. Wings were naked with house wing sauce. All around good food, pleasant people and fast service. Would definitely return!
Lady T Coleman
If you want some fried oysters, this is the place to be. The shrimp are small for the price. They are very heavy handed with the salt. Overall not a bad experience. Customer service was okay, no one looked happy to take your order.
Linesa Thomas
Prices are different online. Garlic potatoes are nasty.
Felecia White
Awesome seafood. Love the shrimp pasta with 15 nice size shrimp. That sauce was the bomb! Dish was a little spicy but I was able to stomach it since it was so good.
There are also face masks being sold at this location by someone other than the restaurant owner. He has a good deal on them. What I didn't like was that tough garlic bread. If they change the kind of bread, it will be Perfecto.
Marie Taylor
Everytime I order fish/shrimp request light seasoning ! They always put too much seasoning and over cooked. Different cooks make a great difference. It's average and over priced for the quality.
Jaunetta Owens
I love to go here on a Friday an get me some good fish an shrimp fries sooo good an hot.
Efrain Castellanos
Fresh fish, shrimps and seafood. I have known that restaurant for 10 years. The food is always good and freshly prepared. The portions are generous and the prices excellent. My favorite, shrimp rice. You'll like it.
Quincy Beasley
I was visiting Tampa and my cousin took me here. OMG! It was my 1st time trying basa and it was so frikking good! I've never had a fish like it! The place was clean, staff was good, & our order was ready way faster than I expected.
Yolanda Barrows
Services is really fast. Had the whole snapper platter which was seasoned very well however, the size of the snapper is not worth the price. I also had a crab cake...stay away for it. There is no crab in the cake, it was all batter. Definitely not worth the $6.
Jeremy Loveland
Wonderful food for a reasonable price. It was a little spicy for my wife. So if you can't handle spicy ask them to go lite on the peppers.
mario aldana
Good friendly service. Food is okay, not very tasty. Clean location with good options. Cooked food as well as raw fish.
Rodney L
The yellow rice and black beans here is very good. I no longer purchase seafood here because the price for 1 basa fish is $8 without sides, and it's cheaper at Fresh and Fun seafood on Busch blvd. The demand at Riverside is very high and so are the prices, unreasonably high. They sell half a corn as a side for $1.99, unacceptable! To whom much is given, much is required! They need to do better by customers who keep them in business!!!
Maris Jeffery
The fried fish & oysters were good and the staff and the kitchen itself appeared clean. The rest of the place was dirty and condiments were only available pump style with tiny serve yourself containers & lids that people stirred around while picking out of a large open bin. I ended up throwing mine away because I couldn't convince myself that they were clean enough to consume. The wait was just 10 minutes, but the waiting allowed plenty of time to notice just how dirty things were, inside and out.
Taahira Waugh
I loved it! When my visitors from Ohio comes through, I bring them here. Shrimp pasta was really good!
denisse rodriguez
I like the food here, delicious flavors, fish it's always made to order, so really hot.. they do have shrimp, 🦀 crab cakes, oysters and raw fish you can buy and do yourself at home as well😋
Eunice Paige
The Devil Crab was delicious. However, my Shrimp had a sprinkle of too much seasoning salt. On a whole this is one of my favorite GOTO Seafood Restaurants when I visit my hometown, Tampa, Florida.
Gill Prince
Food is good and so are the prices.
erica hinds
When I do eat fried fish I want it to be delicious. And this place is excellent. You can also buy fresh fish. The food is very well seasoned. Clean, prices are good and customer service was on point I would highly recommend
DaNubia T
Best devil crab ever big fresh and full of REAL CRAB MEAT not that imitation crab meat restaurant always clean everytime i visit and the staff friendly
Corey Brown
There is always a way even if you call in the order, but that is a result of the food being so delicious! Good things come to those who wait!
The staff there is courteous and nice and the fish is cooked fresh right in front of you. Crab cakes ( I guess devil crabs) we're cooked right in front of me and was still piping hot when I got home.
I've never bought the fresh fish there but it looked - well fresh. Fried fish is not the healthiest choice but this is a great occasional treat.
Latifah Akram
Clean, excellent service. Change in payment methods. Machine wasn't working.
P. Rivera
Best food around. Family came to visit for the week in Florida and was invited for dinner by owner. He is a family member to my in-laws.
Nevertheless, great people, really nice staff and the food is the best I've had in awhile from any seafood joint.
Thanks we had a great night!
Loretta Raspberry
Visiting Tampa. I always stop by to get my fried catfish
Torey Blount
I enjoyed how fresh everything was when served. She was nice and took her time to make sure you get the best experience.
butterfly Butterfly diamond
I love this place food is good. This place rocks on the seafood. I'm going back when I go back that way again.
William Bigsbey
One of my favorite spots! I hadn't been there in a while but it felt like I was here yesterday! Food is fresh and made to order. Even the customers are laid back and friendly. If you're in the area just check them out. Nice portions and friendly prices!

Crab cakes and Devil
Crab both had excellent
meat!! Cooked to much dough dark fried.
Queen Everyday
I heard a lot about this place so I made it a point to stop by and check it out. Needless to say, it was not what I expected. The prices were decent and the amount of food; however, the snow crab feast was lacking freshness. The crabs and shrimp were actually delicious and nicely seasoned. Unfortunately, the potatoes, eggs, and corn lacked the same freshness! Instead these items were old and disgusting in taste. We also ordered the cheesecake which wasn't very flavorful either.
Shelbey Lukowicz
Seafood was definitely fresh and delicious. Ordered the blue crab plate and 2 could easily share, maybe even 3. I don't normally dunk my lobster, crab or anything else in butter, but this dish had tons of butter and bay seasoning salt on everything. It was deeee-licious! It was on the rich side for me, but very good. It is best to do take-out, which my party of 2 ended up doing. There are only 3 booths and food is served in styrofoam with plastic utensils. Obviously not fancy, but good food. The place had a constant flow of patrons.
Shay Davis
Wow! What a great seafood stop! It is a seafood market as well as a meal spot. There are a few booths and tables if you want to dine in. The employees are super friendly. Best sweet tea I have ever had! The seafood is so fresh! The fried clams are the best I have ever tasted. The fried items are not greasy and they are perfectly seasoned. Reasonable prices as well. Fast service.
evelyn tincher
I want to let everyone know that I am giving 3 stars for a 4 1/2 star restaurant . My husband and I ordered the fish and shrimp. The shrimp was good,great flavor. The fish was terrible, we ordered the Whiting and it was salty and very very fishy. Whiting is our favorite fish, we actually eat it often, but this fish was not the best. We also ordered a deviled crab EXCELLENT!!!!!!!! I all I can say. Equal to Seabreeze. Will most definitely buy again and again. I am sure today was just an off day for the Riverside Seafood Market. Will definitely be going back.
navy_seal_officer_1969 “Senior Chief Hurricane”
This place does it RIGHT!👍 Family owned and operated and their fish, shrimp and crab dishes are TOP DRAWER👌🏼
Seasoned absolutely deliciously plus the food is always H🔥T and amazingly fresh too. Give them a try today... You will NOT be disappointed with anything you might sample from this business!!!🤩😍😁
Raymond Sweet
this place has great fresh seafood. I had the conch fritters and whiting. But as with most fish and french fries don't let them go cold. They have some sauces to choose from like tartar sauce and cocktail sauce. The staff is friendly and conscientious. I almost received the wrong meal, but the cook spoke up. I went on a Thursday afternoon.
Chenae Baker
I love the shrimp pasta the devil crabs the side eggs the snow crab legs and the base. Its all cooked fresh. When you walk in you are NOT overwhelmed by a seafood smell. NO flies inside. I would recomend
Lakesha “Lady Gadsden” Gadsden
I like their food.. But not the snow crab feast... It taste like pure butter, no seasoning. But their wings, shrimp and fish was good.
T
Always perfectly fried conch and fries. I'm sorry I haven't gotten past the fried conch, it's so good! Not oily or greasy. Next time I go I'll try to order something else... No promises but if the rest of the menu is anything like the conch... 👍 I'll get back to you all later 😊 …
missi porter
NICE SIZE CRABS BUT HATE THAT FAKE BUTTER 🧈 …
Juliet Narine
This place is definitely a 5 star establishment. The food is great and worth the money you pay. Customer service is also great. Staff is professional and nice at the same time. If there is a slight mix up, they have no problem making it right. You can call in, dine in or take it to go. This place is a nice and clean establishment as well.
Natalia Brown
First time ordering, I wasn't told when my food would be ready after I put my order in. I waited about 20mins for my food and received a cold container and food, I I should of asked how long it will take for my order to be ready then again the workers should have done so💁🏾♀️ over all they did give me warmer food and the food was delicious, a little too much butter for me but that's just me overall it was okay in my opinion.
mark gillyard
first time ever going here, menu was simple so I was able to go through it pretty fast and decide what I wanted. Guy at the counter was as helpful as he could be. Food came out at a respectable pace and pricing was about average. The food itself was tasty, not amazing but it wasn't bad either. I'd go again.
Eastside De'great
Very pricey! A deviled crab was $6.99! The prices are more in line with what you'd expect to spend at a beach front seafood restaurant that offers a nice relaxing scenery.
Antoian Carey
My family and I, love eating at this location. The service is super fast and customer service really good. The bathrooms are very clean we love coming back here. We do recommend this place for anybody to come eat. This is one of the best location we've been to. Only thing that would make this place better if the food was free! 😎😃 …
Alva Atkins
My favorite is the Shrimp Pasta it's very fulfilling. It's a must try!
Love ❤ Fish 🐟 Sandwiches too!
Elizabeth Gohde
The sales person possibly the owner of the spot I visited was rude and made me feel unwelcomed.
Kristen
Food was FRESH and very yummy 😋 ! Workers were very nice! The only thing slightly dirty were the tables but seems like people usually take it to go anyway! We did! Great food! Great service! Highly recommend😊 …
Amanda Bartley
I love their fried shrimp. Their fried are a hit or miss but I still enjoy their food from time to time
Jeanne Edouard
MY WHOLE FAMILY LOVES THIS PLACE. We’ve gone so much that the workers have become our friends. They remember faces and greet us accordingly and ask how we’ve been. I wish the place itself was bigger for dining in but it doesn’t take away from the great customer service and great food!
Elizabeta Martinez
Everything was really good. I ordered the wings and shrimp as well as some fried fish. The fish in particular was incredible. I highly recommend it.
Ian Cahall
Bought dinner carryout here one night about a week ago, and it was top-notch. I got the Fried Shrimp meal with fries, cole slaw, and hushpuppies. There wasn't a bit of it I didn't like. The shrimp was a hearty portion and tasted delicious without any sauces or additional seasoning. This place's prices are extremely competitive and I will definitely be trying one of their larger group meals for the next time I've got company. I'd recommend this to anyone that likes seafood with out all the pretentiousness that comes with a place like Red Lobster.
John Dandle
Me and my wife always order their shrimp, and it is OUTSTANDING. Some of the best fried shrimp I've ever had.
Will always recomend this place!
Kiki FL
Ive eaten at this place on average once a week for at least 5 years and Ive never had a meal I didn't enjoy or a negative service experience. I almost always get baked fish with rice, broccoli, or coleslaw sides. Ive tried the steamed crabs, really like shrimp scampi and shrimp pasta and only occasionally have a fried fish meal w rice& broccoli. Even though most of their meal options are pictured and advertised as fried and with french fries there are some options for non-fried food.
Maria Santiago
My fav dishes are the shrimp pasta & fried red snapper. The food is tastey & fresh. They are professional & clean.
Gregory Redd
I had the oyster and shrimp platter very good portions excellent price or recommend it to all my friends however I have the salad and the blue cheese dressing out-of-date
David Joaquin
It wasn't what I was expecting, but it was delicious. Mostly battered and fried food. Generous portions. I recomend having them go light on the post frying seasoning. It was a tasty seasoning. Mine was just a little over done with it making my dish salty. Good old southern fried seafood. I'll come again. Heading back to MI though:(
Tammy Robinson
Food was good. The only drawback was there is not enough dine-in seating and the tables they do have are small. There were 4 adults in our party and we could not sit comfortably at the table with our food.
MIKE DISCO CYCLOMANIACS
Always pass by this place so I had to stop in. They serve hot food as well as fresh fish on ice. Great stop to stop in and get some fish for the grill. I recommend you go in and get you some fresh fish. 🌀 …
Jackie Velez
Great place to eat the food is fresh and hot. Staff was truly amazing 8
Lady Crawford
Everything was delicious except the deviled crabs... This was my first time ordering from them and I must admit... It was AWESOME!!!! I will be ordering from them again
Jacinta Pinckney
Great food! Clean establishment. Needs major work on customer service. Yikes!
Had fish sandwich, fries, and clam strips. Seasoned very well. Presentation of food nice.
Harvey Jones
Food was fresh and tasty.
Mark Jones
Underpriced! Yes I said "UNDERPRICED"! Love the food and the employee's are very friendly. Every time we come to Tampa we eat here. In fact when we got in town today, we stopped here first before checking in to our hotel. Simply the best!
Regina Tidwell
Being pregnant and craving crabs led me to this place. It quickly became and still is my absolute favorite restaurant.
I order using uber eats. They are always consistent and have great food!
Today I ordered through uber eats again and my order had a mix up with rice instead of pasta. I called them for help, but felt very discouraged due to other uber eat restaurants being really unprofessional and rude to me before. I really didnt expect to be helped, but thought it was worth a shot.
I was so pleasantly surprised when the eprson that answered the phone immediately got the owner. The owner was so extremely flexible and generously got me the correct order sent out. He was the epitome of professionalism.
I literally almost got teary eyed (darn horomones 😋) because I already LOVE this restaurant, but I am a self proclaimed loyal family member now 😂
It felt amazing to be listened to and taken care of. It was a refreshing experience.
This was the first time a mistake was ever made out of all of the times I've ordered and the owner handled it perfectly.
I know that perfection does not exist but this place is pretty darn close ❤
Patricia Sainsbury
If you don't know about this place you should know! Do your self a favor and go get some seafood now. I love the shrimp pasta, fried clams, fried fish and the crab boils.
Kysha Mordica
It was wonderful! The cashier was very pleasant. Fries, fish and shrimp was fried perfect!
Princess Bee
I must have caught them on a off day because the fish and shrimp was really fishy. I have eaten at Manny seafood places so I know what fresh taste like and this was not it.
Lyne
Best fish and shrimp hands down !!! Actually EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING including the service !! The place was pretty clean and the people were friendly!!! I will definitely be back ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Milagros “Millie” Garcia
Awesome little place for some really great seafood. Always fresh and tasty. They never disappoint. Been going here for years!!
Lysz Simmons
Food was amazing. Hadnt been in a while. The shrimp was amazing! The only thing was the whiting fillet had a few bones in it. It is understandable sincr its fresh from the showcase. But the food was great and i wish i lived in tampa to go again.
Ashley Dolan
Food was good, fresh made to order seafood. Cute little spot. The food was a bit too greasy but other than that flavor was good I'd return again.
Lee Irving
A great melting pot of different cultures all coming along to make great food! Pro: you can order anything there off the menu with EBT just pay 2 bucks to cook!! I mean Anythinggggg!
Jeanna Edouard
Always great hospitality and great food. Sad we moved away because no other seafood compares!
Precious Stew
I paid over 17.00 for a fish dinner. Three pieces of fish and one side. When I put in the order I assumed it came with 2 sides the additional coleslaw was additional price and the drink small drink was a separate charge.
This was more than a rib dinner.
Stephanie Rivera
Real DELICIOUS crab cakes 🥰 …
Altamese Williams
Very good food, but the crab cakes have very little crab meat and tastes like corn bread.
Robert Haynes
Love this place. Bring all my family and friends. Ever time family or friends visit from out of state, this is the first stop they want to go to. Tried other seafood places and this is one of their's and my family's favorite stop. Encourage all to try. Way to go Riverside Seafood.
MzLaw Law
Food is always good and hot. You get enough food for the price. I tried Mr And Mrs Crab before and this place is much better to me, just my opinion.
Tyler Tran
Such an amazing place if you are trying to find fresh seafood straight from the ocean. The customer service was friendly, and I got my food right away. If I could give more stars I would.
Daniela Figueroa
I've ordered with uber eats the shrimp pasta with corn & a roll twice.. & both times they didn't disappoint. Very filling portions for a great price.
Jim Keeney
Just went there for my second time. first time had crab feast was excellent. Just got a two-piece fish and it's the best fish I ever had.
Robert Alexandre
It has been my experience that if you want quality seafood that is adequately proportioned to cost and reasonably priced, local fish market/ restaurants tend to have a competitive edge over specialty dining establishments that include seafood items on their menus. However, choosing one over the other is not without compromise. Ultimately a decision has to be made and there are several things that should be considered when making said decision. There are three components that help me to decide, Taste, Portion, and Cost. Taste is relative obviously, nevertheless, Cost and Portion are often dictated by the venue. For example; at a Red Lobster I can expect to pay roughly $25 - 30 for a meal containing a four ounce piece of fish (mind you that price may increase dependent upon market value). At that price point though, I expect a much more gratifying dining experience; particularly one the you might come to expect from a franchise of that caliber. Conversely, at a local fish market I can expect three times the portion size than that of Red Lobster but the dining experience is essentially limited to tedious seating accommodations.
Riverside Seafood Market is the rule and by no means the exception. Nevertheless, what the establishments like Riverside lack in decor they over compensate in quality, taste, and portion comparatively speaking. Having said that Riverside obviously failed to win me over on the merits of their decorum, however, in their defense to expect anything more from a local fish market is simply unrealistic. Assuming that you love fish as much as I do, I can assure you, once you move past the ambiance the variety and the taste will effectively win the approval of your taste buds, stomach, and your wallet.
I've been to Riverside Seafood Market a hand full of times and have always left a satisfied customer. This is actually my second favorite seafood joint in Tampa. I usually pay them a visit when my first choice is closed or they've sold out of my preferred dish. To date I've had their Smoked Mullet, Mullet Dinner, Fried Clam Strips, Fried Oysters, Fried Conch, and Homemade Conch Fritters. I am extremely partial to the Conch Fritters, in a word the are succulent! If you want great tasting seafood patronize Riverside Seafood Market.
Nataki Jordan
The service was great. The seafood was fresh. It wasn't the best I've ever had. But it was good for fast food seafood. The smoked mullet was very good!
Keysha James
Food was good. System when down so I cannot give a true assessment
Robert T. Haynes
Really good food. Menu for adults and children. Nice service. Needs more seating though.
Deborah Singletary
Very nice portions. And the food was excellent! How the recommended nice location easily accessible. Walter Jones Is Awesome!
arthur boyd
Really love this place attendant at the hotel we were in and Tampa Florida told us about it this is the place the locals eat. It's off the beaten path the food was fresh and very hot I had the shrimp my wife had the wings must say a very filling and satisfying meal we will be going back when we are back in Tampa
Guy Moulton
Very expensive, in a bad neighborhood. But the catfish and fries were good.
Mrs. Redmond
Awesome cooks great customer service food is delicious they just too heavy on salt.Please let them know if you have any type of salt restriction.
gretchen lee
Excellent food. Fresh & made to order. Worth the wait
Kathy Williams
Very good service, food delicious a little pricey but I definitely will be going there again. Thank you Thank you
BL Queen
I appreciate food is made to order. I haven't dined here in a while. Was disappointed w/fish combo. Menu says 3 pc fish however it was a piece of fish cut into 3 strips. Smh.
McKeeva Moore
The seafood was overcooked but I bought some fish separately and it was phenomenal!
Girthy Rankor

Love this place. Placed an order off of uber eats and I have now added it to one of my favorite seafood places (coming from a florida girl born and raised) . I had the shrimp pasta and shrimp scampi 100% on point...delicious !!!!
Latricia Carson
Convenient take out and the crab legs are delicious!!!
lily mcbride

Fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced. Conch is on point, and i've never had better hush puppies in my life. Highly recommend!!
Misti Russell
Fresh fish or fried fish. Not much in between. Extensive menu, but again, everything is fried. If you're looking for something healthier, it's not possible to buy at this place.
Terry Jackson
Minority family business owner, who really know how to cook all types of seafood. Carry out or sit in the food is delicious. They get a lot of business in town.

Rhodia Akins
My visit to the restaurant was pleasant and most of all the food is very delicious, feeling,and plentiful. Most definitely a recommendable 5 star seafood market.
Tamon Williams
The best thing about this place is that they take food stamps and cook your entire order for $2. The staff are friendly and very personable. Its a seafood joint and it smells just like the ocean but the food is OFF THE CHAIN. A little pricy but worth it.
Lorenzo Davis
Really small restuarant but it puts out big flavor food that is worth the line. Shrimp scampi is my fa favorite!
Marysol Crespo
