Some of the best seafood in Plano. Service was excellent! Love the Happy Hour too. I'll be going back soon. read more

There isn't one bad thing or criticism I can offer. The seafood is of top-notch quality. From the owners to the waitstaff, they always make you feel welcome and are always pleasant. We know just about all the servers by name and they know us as well. One of the brothers/chefs often visit each table to make sure you are satisfied with your meal. Now let's talk about the food. First off, they only serve the best. Whether it's oysters on the half shell or blackened redfish or their incredible soups, there is no better place for seafood !! Don't forget about their Ruby Red Trout. It's amazing ! Anaya's put places like Pappadeaux's to shame. If you haven't tried Anaya's, you haven't had extraordinary seafood ! Shout out to Miguel and Diego, Leo, Tony, Brian and the rest of the best waitstaff I've run across. Thank you all for making every meal memorable. read more

Anaya's Seafood Scratch Kitchen - Ruby Red Trout in the foreground - Seafood Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Seven of us went out for dinner and we chose this restaurant as nobody had been here prior. We were greeted quickly and our waitress was amazing! We all received samples of the soup and the poblano soup was a table favorite! Our food was delicious as well as our waitress. We loved the evening Happy Hour on a Saturday evening. Only complaint was it was entirely too humid in the restaurant, so much so that we were miserable in that sense. Everyone constantly had to wipe the water glasses off before taking a drink. So we ate quickly so we could leave and didn't get to socialize a lot. read more

Delicious. Visited the Richardson location. The dining room is medium sized and people were waiting for tables at 6:30pm on a Friday night. My hub and I shared hushpuppies, 6 to an order, $4.99. They were small, but were fluffy and tasted good. The rommulade served with it had a Dijon kick to it. I ordered grouper tacos from the gluten free menu (which I simply requested the menu from the server). I really enjoyed the corn cob with parmesan and some kind of spicy sauce on it served on the side. The three tacos had a nice combination of slaw, avocado and fish. We shared the churro dessert. The churros were so delightfully crispy. The caramel sauce and ice cream was the perfect pairing for them. Great service. read more

My favorite place for happy hour! The meltdown margarita is so good and only $8 during happy hour. The crispy calamari is my favorite appetizer. The breading compliments the squid well. The bread pudding was the perfect dessert! It wasn't too sweet, and the ice cream complimented it well. Our servers were so sweet and attentive. This is a great place to go to for dinner or happy hour! The clam chowder was also really good. I would get that again. I will definitely be back! There are also tvs to watch any games going on. read more

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

I ordered the ruby red trout with shrimp for my entree, calamari for appetizer, and the churros for dessert. Everything tasted excellent! I loved the white wine sauce that came on the fish. It complemented the fish nicely. I would definitely come back here! 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

Food was really good. Louisianans this isn't New Orleans so don't expect that. But this is really good and flavorful! Better and cheaper than pappadeux. I got the gumbo, calamari and Texas redfish. Definitely recommend stopping by if you want some great seafood. Only thing for improvement is the decor! There are a lot of white walls, bar area has no personality with all the white walls. But the food and service make up for it. If they had some decor I def think it would elevate this place even more! Still 5 starts for sure. read more

We have ordered from here several times and the food is always good and the order is always correct. However this time we ordered 2 Po boys one shrimp and one fish. Easy enough order however we get home and we got 2 shrimp Po boys and unfortunately I'm allergic to shrimp. I tried calling them several times and the phone just keeps going to voicemail. I just had to warm up something at home for myself because we don't live that close by and by time we would go back to let them know, my husband's food would be cold. Needless to say I'm sad cause I was looking forward to my catfish. So always check your order. read more

Great seafood options for a reasonable price. The dynamite shrimp was perfectly crispy and the sauce is really good. The catfish came out hot and fresh and that with a dollop of the cold tartar sauce was a great bite of food. The fries were fine, nothing extravagant. The extended day time happy hour is a great perk! 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

The soups are amazing. Definitely the best I have had in the area. Fried dishes are good but the soup is the star

I never leave reviews and when I do it's because it's either REALLY bad or EXTRAORDINARY. Anaya's is definitely an exception. The food, the seasoning, the MAC AND CHEESE! The crab cakes this spot is exceptional. I can't wait to eat from here again. I'll have to bring my mom or my husband for dinner. Yall were right. This is the spot. read more

We enjoy going on date nights here. We try and sit away from crowds and people partying. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and allow just the right amount of time to come back and check on our table. We've tried a good many items on the menu and attempt to get something different each visit. The food never has an overwhelming fishy smell and it appears that the oil is changed often to keep that light color to the breading. Always a great meal. 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

On 7/13/26 my wife (Holly) and I were at the North/East District Church of the Nazarene District Assembly, held at the Richardson Church of the Nazarene. While there we were greatly surprised by the highest quality of food we experienced at Anaya's Seafood Scratch Kitchen Restaurant. The soups and entrees were absolutely the best seafood dishes we have ever had. In addition, we had the privilege to meet Co-owner Diego Anaya. We were treated with the utmost respect as well as sampling other dishes, which were exceptional. Also, to top it all off, our waiter Darnell, was probably the best waiter we have ever experienced. We would highly encourage anyone to visit this establishment and please request Darnell as your waiter and do not forget to say hello to C0-owner Diego. 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

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

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

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
