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. Great food, great timing, and a vibe that's upbeat, welcoming, and just plain fun. Definitely a spot worth dropping into! 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. Ambiance is ok. They have a lot of good looking menu items so I would come back and taste the seasoning of other items 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. This location has a different feel as it is very open and they have Latino seating as well. 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

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

Service (5/5 Stars) - Shout out to Ashleene, girl you're an ANGEL! Ambiance (5/5 Stars) - Laid back but very welcoming. 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. They check on you but aren't intrusive in the slightest. Our server was amazing so if you venture here, ask for Ashleene. She won't steer you wrong. 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. The high quality and care put into each dish is obvious in its flavor, from seafood platters and grilled fish to their specialties. Anaya's is the perfect choice for seafood lovers who want amazing flavors, generous portions, as well as consistent quality. Highly recommend! read more

Anaya's is a laid back, super casual, dare I say hole in the wall space. But wowsy, the food is outstanding. I had the ruby red trout which was nicely blackened and perfectly cooked. The white wine sauce was mouth watering good and the spinach and artichokes were a nice complement. I enjoyed the jalapeño cucumber martini. Not a bite was left from my table of 4. Can't wait to return. read more

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 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 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

Very good fish at very reasonable prices. Service is good also. Can't go wrong !! Atmosphere is casual.

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

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

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

1/25/2025 First time visiting Anaya's and I was very pleased! I started with pineapple Agua Freacas w/ free refills (4.95) and for an appetizer I had a cup of the gumbo ($5.95). The gumbo was very good with shrimp and chicken and okra but the serving size left a little something to be desired. For my main course I had a the fried oyster po boy. The oyster were perfectly and were very tasty, the French bread it was served on was mediocre at best and I would prefer shedded lettuce instead of the leaf lettuce it was served with. All in all it was a good sandwich and I would definitely return. 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

I recently had lunch at Anaya's and ordered the Bourbon Street red fish. I was so disappointed! The blackened fish was way overcooked, not spicy as a traditional blackened fish should be and barely warm on one side and hot on the other. The tail section was dry as a chip and the corn bread underneath was room temperature and dry even though it was sitting atop gumbo. A friend ordered the fettuccine with chicken and she said that the chicken was cold like it had just come from the fridge, diced and put atop the pasta. We had churros for dessert which were worth the trip. I'm sorry to say that I will not be returning. read more

The place is located in an older shopping strip, but the interior itself reminds me of a Fish City Grill. We were sat immediately and serviced soon after. The menu has a wide array of seafood entrees, such as multiple types of tacos, po boys , or platters. We started off with a dozen gulf oysters - honestly, not the best and I really hope I don't have food poisoning tomorrow. They didn't seem to wash/clean them as bits were floating in them, some were dry and some were crunchy, it was an inconsistent experience and I kind of regret it in fear. Beyond that - our actual entrees were amazing. I got the Southwest Fish Tacos - huge serving, incredibly flavorful. I like how they have corn and fresh avocado in them. It also comes with a bean and rice side, however I will say it came out more watery/juicy so I wish they drained the bean water out. Other than that, would be great. My boyfriend got the crusted Parmesan flounder and it was super flavorful and cheesy. My only critique is I wish the portion size was bigger - either add a bigger fish, or more mashed potatoes. They also have good happy hour specials! Server is friendly and it seemed like a manager came around asking everyone how they were doing. We will be back read more
