I'd just dropped off my client and, on a whim, decided to swing by Anay Seafood Scratch Kitchen near his place. As I pulled in, the very first thing I spotted was a sign: "Hot Boiled Crawfish Here." Well... ALRIGHT!!! I hadn't had any mudbugs yet this season, so it felt like fate. The service? Fantastic. I was just telling the waitress I was hoping for crawfish when the manager strolled by and said, "We've only got 2 lbs left." Without missing a beat: "Those must be mine." And wow--what a score. Perfectly spiced, nice and firm, served up with a couple of boiled new potatoes. A little bit of everything size-wise--big, small, mostly medium--but every single one was delicious. Washed it all down with a cold draft Shiner... couldn't have been better. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food, great timing, and a vibe that's upbeat, welcoming, and just plain fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely a spot worth dropping into! read more

Anaya’s Seafood Scratch Kitchen - My 1st Mudbigs of the Season - Seafood Near Me - Plano, Texas

So 3 times in a week-yeah, it's that good. I hate etoufee I hate crawfish I hate celery And I don't care very much for bread pudding. So why did I order this?!? 'Cause it is freaking awesome! The etoufee is made with crawfish then they put some fried on the side for texture. Perfectly cooked rice is in the middle with fresh scallions. I sat there loving the celery. THE CELERY! When was the last time you read a review about how great the celery was? My only "complaint" (if you can call it that) was that you only get one little piece of garlic bread cut in half. So I rarely get dessert but the bread pudding sounded great. It is served hot, but not so hot that all the ice cream melts. This has raisins but I think they may also have se Ocean Spray Craisins. I could be wrong but there were two different colored things in there. So the main point of my review is even bad stuff is WONDERFUL here read more

Service good. Had a soup and mac, the soup was over salted and the Mac was under seasoned. I was able to add salt to the Mac but couldn't take it away from the soup. Soup tasted good overall I just couldn't eat more than half Service was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is ok.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a lot of good looking menu items so I would come back and taste the seasoning of other items read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was very quiet and relaxing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was superb. You can get any dish prepared exactly like you want it to be. Their seafood and fish is delivered fresh weekly. Another wonderful visit. The crab claws were amazing. The firecracker shrimp was amazing. From the soup sampler, I could not pick a favorite as they were all very delicious and flavorful. This is truly a hidden gem. read more

Our first time visiting Anaya's and we very much enjoyed the dinner. Service was outstanding. Our server was Luis who was attentive and quick. Because we were first time visitors, we were given complimentary soups ramekins with four kinds of soup. The fried calamari was fresh and tasty. It's served Rhode Island style with banana peppers. The fish and chips was also very good and that was also fresh. Hand cut steak fries were a nice touch. read more

Anaya's is a staple for my family. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is always clean and busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is always helpful, friendly, and informative. They go out of their way to make sure that you're happy with your meal. I've tried several of their dishes and never been disappointed. My favorite appetizers are the calamari and firecracker shrimp. Well seasoned, fresh, cooked perfectly. I also order the seafood trio . I like the fish blackened, but alternately order the trio fried. The bread pudding is delicious if you get it before they sell out. I definitely recommend Anaya's for a great meal experience. read more

My wife and I stopped by here during a date day for a drink and appetizer. We sat at the bar and I ordered a spicy mezcal margarita it was delicious! My wife ordered a blackberry French 75 and really enjoyed it. We ordered the calamari, it was piping hot, fresh and had both the rings and tentacles. Also had banana peppers. It came with a lemon dill aioli and a sweet thai chili sauce. I loved the calamari with aioli and my wife loved the Thai sauce. The portion of calamari was great! Would definitely recommend this for everyone. The manager came over and gave us free tasting of 4 different soup. They were all tasty but my favorite was the roasted poblano creamy soup. The hospitality was very nice and everyone we dealt with was attentive. They also have a great kids menu. We will have to comeback with our child next time! read more

When you dine at Anaya's my recommendation is to check the menu on a blackboard that covers one entire wall. Some items on that blackboard are not listed on the printed menu. And for myself personally I picked the wrong Wednesday to stop in for lunch. There was no ravioli at all. And the chocolate cake that's looking so delicious in Yelp photos for this location, not available either. I selected the Herb-Pecan Crusted Haddock served with sweet potatoes and seasoned vegetables. My discovery was that haddock and cod look and taste exactly the same to me. Service was friendly and quick. No ravioli though and it looks so good in the photos. read more

This was my first time to this location and it did not disappoint. The food is simply fresh and delicious. Met some friends for lunch and had the shrimp nachos but with the dynamite shrimp. The chips are amazing and hold up well without getting soggy. The toppings are perfect which include cheese, beans, pico de gallo, avocado and sour cream. You have the option of grilled, blackened or the dynamite shrimp! It's just a fantastic dish. Our server was amazing and checked on us frequently. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location has a different feel as it is very open and they have Latino seating as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've also had the cedar planked salmon and a few other items at the Addison location. Be back soon! read more

Went to Anaya's by my office for a quick bite. I was tempted to get the crawfish as they are in season but got the Bourbon Street Redfish instead which was tasty. It was served on top of a nice fresh hunk of cornbread that soaked up the gumbo nicely. They heard it was my first time visiting and brought me a sample of four of their soups which was a nice touch. I enjoyed the clam chowder and the poblano soup. Next time i will get the fried mac and cheese appetizer cuz who doesn't like that? read more

Ambiance (5/5 Stars) - [[HIGHLIGHT]]Laid back but very welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food (5/5 Stars) - Every single dish was delightful! If you're new to this place, dont be shy to tell the staff. They bring a 4 soup sampler for you to try and whet your appetite. The star winners to me are the: Garlic Parmesan Flounder and the Crab Mac & Cheese Cakes. But honestly you can't go wrong with anything here. The food is cooked to perfection and each bite is a savory, hearty joy to your taste buds. And again, the staff are just so sweet and welcoming.

I think the only thing i liked was my Mexican martini and the free sampler soups at the beginning. Sometimes I do realize going an hour before they close brings the lesser service/experience, but two things stick out. One my fiancé is allergic to shellfish and we made it clear to put the shrimp that was on the special dish off on the side (plate) , but it still came with the shrimp on top so the order had to be redone. Then I found hair in my rice. They did try to make up for it by bringing us an another round of drinks on the house which we appreciated, but the two things I mentioned still impacted my experience. read more

The food was excellent my husband had the seafood Omelette and it can with seasoned potatoes he said both were excellent very flavorful Omelette cooked just the way he wanted. I had the Special of the Cajun Crawfish tacos. There were 3 race just stuffed with fried crawfish and other vegetables I loved them great flavors and textures. Since it was our first time at Anaya's we were served samples of their 4 soups. It was hard to pick a favorite as all were delicious a Seafood Gumbo, a Crab Bisque, a Clam Chowder, and a Poblano soup. We have added this as places we would come again and already shared it with some family members and friends read more

Not to say im a fish snob BUT! I say I dont eat seafood if I can't see the sea its out of LOL. That being said WOW we were seated faster than the door could close and our waitress was quick in tow with menus specials and a drink order then the manager stopped by with a flight of their house soups beyond NICE TOUCH and I say they all were really good. So good I ordered a cup of the gumbo . Now I came for the catfish and I was not disappointed had the full Monty half fried half blackened fries slaw and hush puppies hmmmm all prepared perfectly. My wife gad the salmon cedar plank and loved it [[HIGHLIGHT]]all set in a charming setting[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

New for us. We had the dynamite shrimp and the flounder. Both were very good and the prices were reasonable. Good value and food

I judge restaurants by their Caesar salad. They're deceptively complex and easy to get wrong especially when it comes to freshness and ratios. After years of ordering them everywhere, Anaya's wins--especially with the blackened salmon on top. Absolute perfection. The service is consistently great. My only ask would be a rum drink in the soft serve machine. read more

We took my mom here for a birthday lunch as she wanted oysters. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small basic setting, but clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was just average and the service was decent, but we were rushed to place our order, although we told them it was everyone's first time. The drink & brownie a la mode were the best part for us. The food was just average. The did sing happy birthday but in a flat, mundane manner. read more

How could I have almost missed writing a review for such a great seafood restaurant in the Dallas-Fort Worth area? Anaya's Seafood Scratch Kitchen is consistently superb. I return because of their consistently good food, service and overall experience. Entering, one is greeted by several friendly servers and a comfortably cozy atmosphere. The food was consistently delicious, with its freshness, flavor and perfectly cooked dishes.

We enjoyed Anayas this past week for our anniversary meal. We usually go to a very pricey steakhouse but this year decided to opt for a change. I'm glad we did. My husband had the Bourbon street red snapper. It was wonderful. I had the Ruby Red trout. I loved it! We both had margaritas. The bartender didn't skimp on the pour. They were very tasty. We did order the flan to take home for dessert since we e were stuffed. This I was dissatisfied and disappointed. I've had much better flan. Ty r strawberries on top look nice but overpowered the flan [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining room was large enough with the music volume perfect. You could hear it but didn't have to struggle to hear the person across the table[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Love, love, love Anya's!!!! My friend brought me here and after just one meal, I was so excited to come back again asap. So, I brought my mom when she came to visit for a few days and she enjoyed it so much, she wanted to eat at Anya's almost everyday! The cream of poblano soup is to die for. But honestly you can't go wrong with any of the soups. We are so glad they brought out the little soup flight sampler because I would have never known how good the clam chowder and poblano soups were. Seriously, the poblano soup is so good I'm required to bring some home when I visit for Thanksgiving AND Christmas. The specials are always so delicious but don't miss out on what's on the menu! No matter what you order, you're going to be happy. And the drinks are perfectly made. Service is always great, they have a very friendly staff and they give nice suggestions! If you love seafood and Mexican cuisine, this is a must to visit! read more

Excellent meal and the service was wonderful. I ordered grilled shrimp fettuccine. The order came out very quick and was cooked perfectly. I didn't even have time to finish my $5 house margarita. The portions were good. I brought home a nice portion of my fettuccine, but ate all of the shrimp. The only negative point in the evening was the people waiting to be seated were standing right beside our table. There was no other place for them to stand. read more

Very good seafood at an affordable price. Nice cozy interior. Had a TV but only had news on. Service was very good and offered suggestions. Ordered the crab and shrimp queso to start. Lots of crab and shrimp. Could've been spicier but was tasty Went with the fried catfish and shrimp. Big piece of catfish with a great batter. 5 shrimp were also very good. Cole slaw and fries were also very good. Hush puppies were small and kind of bland. The waitress recommended their house hot sauce and it was awesome. I will be back read more

Cozy little seafood place with good service and daily specials. I wish I could review their regularly available dishes, but I find something tempting on the specials menu every time. A flight of mini margaritas is a fun way to start your meal - they're beautifully garnished and come in a variety of flavors. I enjoyed a hearty portion of shrimp with scallops and spinach recently - delicious! Salmon with a Greek yogurt and dill sauce came atop a nice bed of mixed greens - both healthy and satisfying. Tuna poke bowl was packed with flavor and nourishing veggies. Ask for a booth for a more intimate experience. read more

We came here for the first time on 01.12.24 for a very late lunch after a long Super Bowl evening. The staff greeted us warmly and we took in the surroundings. Cajun/Creole as well as Mexican-style seafood as well as Southern-style seafood while Latino music is playing - we're in. We started with the Happy Hour chargrilled oysters, which were insanely delicious. They came out super hot and super tasty. My woman opted for the Dynamite Shrimp Tacos, which she raved about. The portion size was perfect for lunch. I had the large Mexican Shrimp Cocktail, which was prepared tableside. The cocktail was made with house made seasonings, tequila, a house made tomato sauce infused with Jarritos soda (amazing), avocado, cilantro, and crab meat. Oh, and the shrimp were huge! This was likely the best shrimp cocktail I have ever had. And I have had a few. The food and dining experience here were great, and we hope to come back soon. read more

Well, I ordered our crab bisque before Dave our waiter brought out the awesome soup flight for each of us. The flight included samplings of the crab bisque, shrimp gumbo, cream of poblano and New England clam chowder. I ran Dave down and said, "Can I please change our soup orders?" We ended up ordering the New England clam chowder and the Cream of Poblano soup. Now the gumbo and bisque were still mighty fine; but after tasting the other two, I knew we needed to get those. I believe we could have licked the bowls clean of those flavorful, HOMEMADE, creamy soups. I love the fusion of the Mexican style mixed with some southern riffs along with delightful Cajun and Creole flavors. It may sound all over the place but all of the seafood is delicious and this family-owned business pulls this off well! The big star of our small meal was the Oysters Rockefeller. Oh my goodness, were those gulf oysters ever so plump and delish with all of the extra toppings that were piled on. Wow! Those beautiful jewels were still bubbling when they arrived at our table. You would not NEED crackers with the oysters but we still devoured them, of course! We stopped in around 11:30 on a week day and it was a light crowd, but I think most everyone there were REGULARs and greetings between the staff and customers were very congenial! Hubby and I have this on our list and have already shared with our other dining people and I cannot wait to come back and would enjoy visiting the other locations. read more
