This was only our 2nd time here and I am not sure why... I have a feeling #3 wont be far behind. The food is fantastic. Period. I am not a big fish person and hubby loves something fried so a healthy fishy meal isn't our first go to, but we went outside our normal tonight. And we left so satisfied. For apps, the mac and cheese bites with crab. This should feel heavy but it doesn't. Moist and full of flavor. We did the crab fingers (special on the black board... pay attention to the specials they are fire). Tons of crab for the price and the chowder type sauce was so good. I just wish I had more bread to soak it up. Dinner was the tuna with mango sauce. I got mine rare and it was perfectly cooked. The filet was well seasoned and the sauce complimented it well. Large portion of tuna. He got the special (do not sleep on the black board) flounder stuffed with crab and shrimp. Absolutely amazing. I have never ever ordered flounder before but I guarantee ill order it if we return and its a special. Service was fast snd everyone was attentive. Cant wait until we go back. read more

This place has been highly recommended with rave reviews, but unfortunately, the food did not live up to the expectations. Our server was very attentive and welcoming! The menu pricing is fair given its seafood but not super affordable either. We started with the Oysters Rockefeller. The oysters were massive! However, I wasn't really a fan of the sauce, and especially not the lettuce. Because the dish was served hot, the lettuce was soggy and impacted both the texture and taste of the overall dish. The best thing, in my opinion, were the Mac and cheese crab cakes. A truly genius combination. Lastly, the fried catfish was just okay. It was kind of bland but not super crispy either. The portion is really big though. The fries on the side were soggy too and could have spent a couple more minutes in the frier. read more

Met a friend for dinner on a Friday evening. The happy hour for drinks goes until 7, even on Friday. Love that. We had blanco margaritas. My friend loved hers, but I felt it was more sour than needed. We got the dynamite shrimp and crab fingers as apps. Shrimp was awesome! We devoured it before I snapped a pic. Crab fingers were good too. Entrees were delicious! Trout with a white wine sauce and capers and artichoke hearts. The fresh spinach on rice was a perfect accompaniment. I ate the whole thing. Not heavy or too rich. My friend had the salmon. Also cooked perfectly and the veggies were well seasoned. Service was just ok. They got busy while we were eating and I think the staff was overwhelmed. All in all--quality food and worth the visit. read more

Food and drinks here were amazing with great selections. $5 for a Bloody Mary?! Can't beat that price, but not only that, it tasted really good. The food tasted home cooked and flavor was not lacking. We did the soup fight and chowder was probably our favorite. Fish and pasta dish were also fantastic. Service was also great. I can see why they get packed. We went after lunch rush hour and there was still a bit of a wait. read more

This place is wonderful! The calamari appetizer is really tasty and crispy yet tender inside. The fish and chips were good too. The dynamite shrimp tacos were alright, nothing too spectacular about it. The Bourbon Street Texas Redfish had many interesting elements to it but the gumbo itself lacked some depth of flavor. I think it seems like a hit or miss depending on the dishes but the overall quality is still there. I'd go back to try more things as they do have a great extensive menu for a seafood restaurant. The service was good and they even had live music when we went. read more

We've ordered takeout from Anaya's before and decided to dine in this time, and it was a great experience. We were greeted and seated right away and given a few minutes to look over both the regular menu and the chalkboard specials. Since it was late, we skipped appetizers, but our entrées came out in about 10 minutes. I ordered the salmon, which was a generous portion and cooked exactly as requested--moist, flavorful, and well-seasoned. The mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables on the side were also tasty. Everyone else at the table enjoyed their meals as well. We'll be back. read more

We made reservation to celebrate an early Mother's Day dinner the day before Mother's Day. We asked for a booth. We were guided to a booth that was so limited in space for adults. We were 4 in our group and we are not big people but that booth was tight and no breathing room for adults to sit across each other. There were 2 other empty booths and i asked why we couldn't sit there. The waitress said it was reserved already and I thought what about us we reserved a place to eat also. They mentioned the patio was available but with our allergies that was not an option for us and we had reserved inside sitting. We had been to this location once before and food was good and did not have an issue with booth seating. Perhaps it was that one booth (last one in back) with a problem or next booth pushed their seat back too far to limit space in other booth. But restaurants should check before placing people in seating that is not appropriately spaced. We decided to leave since they could not accommodate our reservation with decent seating. Very disappointing since we were there for a special occasion. read more

Came for lunch on Saturday with my sister while she was visiting. It was not super busy as there were only 3-4 parties when we got there. After a while more people filled in. Even with that our waiter was super friendly and attentive the whole time. We started with the crab fingers which came in creamy lemon garlic butter sauce. I tried the catfish and shrimp combo, both blackened. I ended up using the leftover sauce from the crab fingers to put on my catfish and shrimp. The sauce took it to another level!! My sister got the special with salmon, shrimp, a mango salsa, and roasted potatoes. She ended up using the sauce from the crab fingers as well. will definitely be back to try more of the menu. read more

I can honestly say everything was great! From derive, to food & drinks, as well as ambiance and service. I've come across this place a few times on YELP and finally decided to try it out today. The staff was great from the moment I walked in they greeted me and were friendly. The menu is not overwhelming but has a lot of variety to choose from. I had the Dynamite shrimp for starters and the Baja tacos as my main course. The Dynamite shrimp were amazing, cooked just right and not too much sauce making them soggy. It came with a spicy dipping sauce as well that paired well. The Baja tacos were beer battered with the perfect crunchy crust. The slaw on these tacos was crunchy and seasoned just right. Honestly, everything was great. I have absolutely no critics. I also had the black berry French 75; one of the best I've ever had. It was also on there all day Saturday & Sunday drink happy hour so it was only $7.95! I can't wait to visit again. read more

Pulled up to Anaya's Seafood Scratch Kitchen with my wife and from the jump -- seated fast, staff was friendly, good vibes. We started with the dynamite shrimp and hushpuppies -- shrimp was , easily a 9.5/10. Hushpuppies were solid but nothing crazy, just small. I ordered the Ruby Red Trout -- super flavorful, light seasoning so you really taste the fish, and the sauce tied it all together. My wife went with the Bourbon Street Redfish -- sounded better than it tasted. Not bad, just didn't hit the way we expected. She gave it a 7. Didn't get dessert, but overall? Great experience. Food looked amazing, service was on point, and we'll definitely be back. read more

Went in and had a seat, from looking on the app, the food looked amazing. I ordered the crab cakes and definitely loved it. It's very fulfilling. Then I ordered the redfish... the gumbo was good. The cornbread was kind of dry but the spinach was flavorful. However, the fish didn't seem to have much flavor especially for it to be blackened. Our server sat us down and took our drink order, did not provide any straws. We had to get up and go to the bar to get our own straws just to enjoy our drinks. She came by to take our order and she gave us different hot sauces for our food, however she wasn't very attentive. The ambiance of the restaurant even on Sunday is chill but it is noisy especially because the music is low so you can hear everyone's conversation. However it's not that I wouldn't recommend this place I just wouldn't recommend going on a Sunday or ordering the redfish. read more

Anaya's Seafood Scratch Kitchen - Bourbon Street Texas Redfish - Seafood Near Me - Richardson, Texas

This is my new favorite spot. This family owned and operated restaurant that has everything. Friendliness, quality, service, variety and affordability. I only advocate if it's true. Dishes are delicious and well plated and could pass in a high end restaurant. Service is impeccable. Drinks are plentiful from a good selection of wine to a frozen cocktail. I can't remember seeing food returning to the kitchen and if it does the customer satisfaction is always important to them. They have different locations and the doors are always revolving. read more

Date night at Anaya's in Richardson last night for pre-Valentine dinner because who wants to fight crowds on the actual day?!?! This was our first time to eat here at the recommendation from a co-worker of my dearly beloved. I went on the website to review the menu and see what options they had for Gluten Free. Can I tell you I was all giddy and excited because they literally had a FULL Gluten Free menu, not one or five bland items or a salad with a piece of grilled 'something'. I'm talking FULL GF MENU!!! Appetizers GALORE... and soup CHOICES not just one. I mean it's been almost a decade since I have had clam chowder, I could have BATHED in it! DELICIOUS!! We had the chargrilled oysters, which we are generally not a fan of, however, these were divine!! Lightly grilled, juicy oysters, the perfect amount of melted parm, just yummy!! My dearly had the Red Snapper St Charles style and subbed the grits for garlic mashed potatoes, he said it was amazing! I had the Ruby Red Trout, just as it came with white rice. We each had a cocktail, he had the Blanco Margarita and I had the Blackberry Lemon French 75 Martini, fantastic!! OMGawsh when I tell you to go eat here, RUN don't walk and don't delay! The staff is friendly, the food comes out HOT AND FAST!!! Leo was our server and he is friendly and knowledgeable and so nice!! Will definitely be back to Anaya's in Richardson!! read more

We used some of this weird lawless airport time we called the 2024 holidays for a quick jaunt to Dallas area. We stayed in Plano for kiddo activities and picked Anaya's for dinner one night because it was close to the hotel. It's located in a strip center, well lit, kinda tucked in the corner. Inside is cozy, and decent amount of seating. As far as food is concerned, everything, and I mean everything was absolutely fantastic. We did the margarita flight - the dragon fruit and the watermelon ones were my favs. It was our first time so they offered the little soup sampler - we had a bunch of fun ranking them, and even then saying one was lowest on the list was laughable, because they were all amazing. Kiddo settled on a bowl of clam chowder, I got a cup of chowder and the special - a Parm crusted flounder with asparagus, and hubs did the same entree with char grilled oysters. Did I mention everything was amazing? We were too stuffed for dessert, which we have mild regret over not being able to try, but c'est la vie. So, we ordered a boatload of food and drinks, and y'all, the bill wasn't an arm and a leg. In fact, it was super reasonable. We had a great experience from food to service (they are super nice, anyone you interact with). Next time I'm in town, I wouldn't hesitate to take a side quest for Anaya's - this place is an absolute gem!! read more

This was all right! I usually go to Thai Thumbz next door if I'm in the area, but they're closed on Sundays. Waitstaff was super courteous and knowledgeable about the menu. I had a dragonfruit margarita, crab cakes, and the mahi mahi special. I seldom drink, but the margarita was an absolute standout. They used a generous amount of tajin on the rim, garnished with fresh mango and mint, and the blended concoction of dragonfruit (and I think watermelon) was so, so good. I've been to the OG Marianos, and honestly, Anaya wiped the floor with them on this blended marg. Sorry not sorry. Really fresh, balanced, and delicious. An absolute gem. And you don't have to drive to Arlington to get it, which is a huge bonus. The crab cakes were meh. They weren't completely warmed through and not crispy enough for my preference, but they were okay. The mahi mahi special was very good. It was a generous portion of fish, panko-crusted, served atop a rich, cheesy mashed potato patty of sorts with wilted spinach and a really nice pepper-peach relish. The fish was a little overcooked for my taste and had a rather firm hand, but on the whole, the flavors were well thought out and it was a really nice dish overall. The two grilled shrimp atop were totally underseasoned and forgettable, but the rest of the dish was so nice I didn't mind. I ordered some hush puppies to try (and to soak up some of that margarita, because hello, absolute lightweight) and they weren't done in the middle. :( In all - dragonfruit margarita was a complete stunner, the mahi mahi was good, and the appetizers were less than stellar. My server was really attentive and kind, and I appreciated the recommendation for the drink and main course. Would come back, but would probably try some different appetizers next time. read more

Wowza, this place is yumazing!! The food was delicious, waiter-Jesse was amazing and I can't wait to go back. I was able to enjoy brunch where mimosas are $4-yes please, I'll have another. The ambiance was great in an ocean style theme. Food came out fast, fresh, and most importantly delicious. The clam chowder was one of the best I have tasted in Texas. Still cannot beat the PNW but, it was a close 2nd!! Which is great because I will not be going to Seattle anytime soon. I ordered the salmon Benedict and my partner had the seafood omelette enchilada. Both were delicious and very tasty. The salmon Benedict was perfect with 2 poached eggs, and delicious hollandaise sauce to delight your tastebuds. My pals ordered the crispy calamari and it was yummy too. Cannot wait to go back again. This place is a hidden gem and the prices are great too. I really enjoyed my time there and cannot wait to enjoy another brunch out with my gf's. Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos-but, i Highly recommend-you will not be disappointed. read more

Now my sister told me about this place. That's around the corner from my mom's and I was just looking for something good and hearty, and I'm a pescatarian so this place is literally right up my alley from oysters to muscles to clams. I mean you name it, I was overly satisfied and I just was amazed at the food. The presentation was beautiful. The staff there they were super friendly. I loved how they were easily able to recommend all of the good, tasty things. All of the good sweet treats that they had to offer. I mean, you walk in there and youre immediately met with the smells of the different foods of the sea, nice and seasoned, buttery, and also the laughs and fun energy being had inside! Food definitely is my happy place!! read more

Can't wait to return! What a hidden gem (in plain sight) to add to our list of favorites!! From the moment you walk in the door, you feel their charm! This is such a wonderful seafood restaurant with loads of selections on its menu! Don't forget the specials board on the wall--it apparently changes every couple of days, so you don't want to miss it! Our server was Leo. A nice young man that introduced us to the specials and answered any questions we had about the menu, he was very knowledgeable, and we appreciated his enthusiasm and love of the restaurant. The menu is jampacked full of so many options that it's really hard to choose... Since it was our first visit, the owner, Miguel, brought us a little sample of their soups, and they were wonderfully delicious! We can't wait to order soup next time! We ordered the mahi-mahi tacos; they were incredible--even the picture reflects freshness! They were flavorful and satisfying! We also had the coconut shrimp, the best I have found in years! We have enjoyed incredible coconut shrimp in Hawaii and St. Kitts (West Indies), and this is right there with the best of them! Ohhhhh, the dessert--what to choose? We went with Keylime pie, which was incredible, creamy, and fresh, and the portion was huge! We also had the peach cobbler à la mode, which was also fresh and flavorful and left us wanting more (but there was plenty!). Looking for your next favorite seafood place? #ThisisIt They have several locations, so no matter where you're located, it's definitely Worth the drive! Thank you so much to the ANAYAS restaurant team!! we will be back and will bring our friends! Thank you! read more

I did not have a good experience at this place. There was still a number of tables in the main dining area but our party of 3 were seated in this back hallway close to a group having some sort of birthday celebration. And honestly it would've been fine if it wasn't for the fact that because the waiter was busy handling the very large group, it took a really long time for us to order our food. It was also very hard to get other waiter's attention since not a lot of employees were walking in the back area. I ended up getting garlic parmesan flounder dish which was nothing to write home about and thought it was pretty pricey for what it was. read more

We dined at their Plano location and we were very pleased. The service was very attentive. We were given small samples of their soups (4) since this was our first visit. All of them were very good. Our entrees were very delicious and were attractively presented. Even though we dined early 4:30, there were a good number of patrons. A musician started playing just before we finished our dinner. The music was a nice touch to the atmosphere. We plan to return. read more

We went here for the first time, and overall the experience was good but the food was just above average, not amazing. We ordered the crab cake appetizer and a cup of gumbo, and I will tell you this crab cake was really good!! They did such a great job, super generous on crab, and the aioli and salad they give on the side are great for flavor contrast. The gumbo was alright, there was a lot of shrimp but nothing special. Highly recommend the crab cake though! For entrees, we got the Ruby Red Trout and Fried catfish. The trout comes on cornbread with spinach, Cajun sauce, and a bit of shrimp, scallops, and crawfish in the sauce. The fish itself is definitely red trout and was cooked well, crunchy on the outside while the meat was tender and fresh. The cornbread was also really good, I liked it a lot more than I thought! The only weird part was the shrimp and crawfish in the sauce, they were a bit cold while everything else on the plate was hot. I also didn't feel this was truly blackened trout, more just trout that was cooked well but not necessarily the Cajun blackened flavor I was looking for. The fried catfish was crunchy but lacked some seasoning in my opinion, and the catfish tasted very catfish(y?) like almost gamey, which is normal for catfish but if prepared well, you don't taste it. The hush puppies were great, but we weren't a big fan of this entree overall. Portions were huge however! The interior is nice and clean, and service is also great and fast! For Cajun style seafood, this place is not bad, but I would mostly recommend the crab cake appetizer and their hush puppies. The price is a little high, and I would say the smokiness and strong Cajun flavor was a little lacking. After Fishmongers closed, I am still looking for a good go to Cajun place, and have tried other options but none were quite the same. This place is overall still good, above average, but nothing too stand out to me. read more

I've been wanting to try this seafood place out for awhile now. I love seafood and there aren't many just seafood restaurants around. We ended up going to the Richardson location, because believe it or not this one was closer to us than the Plano or Frisco location. Pulling in I didn't even realize I was in Richardson. We walk in and are greeted instantly. We made reservations for 4 because we were unsure of how busy the place was going to be. Lucky for us it wasn't crowded. The interior reminds me of a Florida style beach restaurant. Our server was decent; very nice, asked if we had been there before. We all said no; and she offered us a soup sample. Moments later a chef/and or manager came out to explain all the soups. There was a chowder, gumbo, poblano, and bisque. I thought it was real nice for them to do that for first time customers. Out of the 4 the poblano and the chowder were my favorites. The bisque honestly tasted like queso dip (not in a good way) and the gumbo was missing something. We started off with the fried calamari, hush puppies, crab claws, dynamite shrimp and the oysters Rockefeller. All came out super fast with great portion sizes. Calamari was cooked well; the Thai sweet chili sauce was the best sauce for the that, the hush puppies were great loved the sauce with it; just wish they were bigger. Dynamite shrimp was yummy, the crab claws were good. Unfortunately the crab was cooked too long because they were easy to slide off with your teeth; the sauce was good! The oysters were decent for Texas. Drinks were really great! Entrees were all tasty. I got the flounder and it was prepared perfectly and my husband got the redfish special and it was amazing. I really loved the poblano cheese grit cakes with the andouille sauce. They need to keep that one on the menu. They give nice portions of the actual fish. For a seafood restaurant around here, it's a decent one. read more
