Daddy Shark is a Mexican restaurant branded as seafood and steak…read more Food - They do have a versatile menu. We really enjoyed the appetizer sampler and drinks. The steak and seafood entrees - not so much, but the birria tacos were great. Atmosphere - Casual, ocean or fish themed. It's bright blue. They play country music (the kind you hear at the beachy restaurants) like "5 O'Clock Somewhere." There are a couple of fish tanks in there. The kids thought that was cool. Just about every kid who walked in immediately began singing the "Daddy Shark doo-doo" song. So in that aspect it's kind of cute. Service - OK. No issues. Our waiter was kind. Overall: I made the mistake of thinking, "I don't want to order Mexican at a Seafood & Steakhouse when Clinton has 5011 other Mexican restaurants." I was wrong. You will actually want to do just that.

Daddy Shark - Dinner Visit Went to Daddy Shark this evening…read morewith my wife for dinner. We started with the fried mushroom appetizer, which came out looking a little overdone and dry -- almost like they might have been reheated. They were hot and juicy inside, but I found the mushrooms a bit tough and chewy. My wife liked hers, though, and said they were fine, so maybe I just got a few rough ones. The breading was very crunchy, almost too much so for my taste. For my main dish, I had the ribeye tacos, which came with Mexican rice and something that seemed halfway between refried beans and bean soup -- kind of an odd consistency, but surprisingly it was probably the best thing I had. The ribeye was finely chopped, which made the tacos easy to eat, but it also seemed like a way to hide bits of gristle that were mixed in. The tacos were topped with fresh avocado slices and plenty of cilantro, but overall they were a bit short on flavor. My wife had the Country Salmon, which was cooked well and topped with a creamy spinach and mushroom sauce. She said it was just okay -- not bad, but nothing special. Her side salad could have been better; the tomatoes were barely out of the green stage and would've been better fried than served fresh, since they weren't nearly ripe. The ambiance was definitely unique. There are a lot of Mexican-style dishes on the menu, but the restaurant has an undersea theme -- walls covered in bright cartoon murals of sharks, fish, and octopuses. Very kid-friendly and cheerful. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and our waiter was attentive and efficient, aside from letting my tea glass go empty once. Overall, it was a fair experience. Not bad, but I'll expect more on the next visit -- assuming we come back to try some of their other dishes that might be stronger.

Food: They have shrimp & grits, beignets, pancakes, chicken & waffles, BLT & more on the breakfast menu. The pancakes are divine! They offer strawberry, blueberry, chocolate and pecan toppings. Shrimp & Grits are cool. I'm a bit particular when it comes to Shrimp & Grits, but I think they could use a little less cream and a bit more spice/flavor, but they weren't bad! For lunch and dinner, there are different daily specials. I'll come back on a Saturday to try the crawfish etouffee. Price: Great prices. Most meals on the breakfast menu are actually about $6-$13. Service: The young lady who is usually there in the morning is awesome! Ambiance: Just food. No frills. I think they could really benefit from giving the place a facelift or maybe even something as simple as adding a bar (the girls love mimosas) or patio furniture outdoors. Overall: Give it a shot!

My wife and I have been dining at The New Orleans Grill for over 20 years, and it's always been a…read morepleasant experience. We're consistently seated quickly, our orders are taken promptly, and the food is reliably good. The only reason I'm leaving four stars instead of five is the service after the meal arrives. Once the food is served, we rarely see our server again--and tonight was no exception. I had to track ours down when my glass went empty, which is always a pet peeve of mine. That said, the Catfish Creole is now my new favorite dish. Perfectly cooked Mississippi raised blackened catfish served over seafood gumbo--absolutely delicious! This entrée alone is reason enough for us to keep coming back.

I've been coming here for 20 plus years I've only had maybe a couple of issues but they definitely didn't take care of you I've gotten old crawfish before and no they don't replace nothing they don't give nothing they don't replace nothing. But what piss me off is spending $40 for a crawfish plate with a crawfish is smaller than your small as finger too much work because I don't even know how it's legal to sell them that small. It was a waste of time and money just know when you go there make sure you catch them at the right time because if you catch them at the wrong time you won't get your money's worth like we didn't. One thing about them they just all about money they don't care about the customers they figure we going to come anyway but I will not be back. Also want to say that yes their crawfish is good I would like a boil from somewhere else but they are always on the higher spectrum when I go out of town I get delicious crawfish for cheaper everywhere else. It's all about the money with these people.

A staff member directed us through the restaurant to a side patio we didn't even know existed. Before we could sit down, another employee confronted us and said we were not supposed to have come through the restaurant -- despite us following their staff's instructions and clearly stating we had a pet and wanted outdoor seating to avoid any issues. When I said we would just leave if it was a problem, we were told we didn't have to leave, but the staff member continued to reiterate that we were not supposed to come through the restaurant. We ultimately left due to the poor service and will not be returning. As well as telling our other local friends this is not the small business to support.

Bring it back to the kitchen and then give it to the correct table rather than making a new plate.

Couldn't figure out why it took the young lady so long to greet us and welcome us in. She was sitting at a table eating with others and I guess was going to finish her meal before she helped us. Nonetheless we all prepared our bowls. Waited a while before cook came and finally cooked our food. Everything just felt like it was moving in slow motion and took so long. Cook and hostess. Everything even to pay. We were there an hour just ordering waiting for food to be cooked and to pay. I realized she was on the phone maybe that's why. But service was definitely not to par. Food was good I prefer Yaki bowl better flavor wise but feel Like you get bigger portion here. Ambiance was on. Everything felt outdated but was clean and empty. But service alone is enough for me to think twice about coming here

Made in house and fried fresh to order. The owner was super friendly and I noticed him calling patrons by name when they walked in the door. When I asked how long they had been in business, he replied that his father opened the business 27 years ago. We don't live in Clinton but I will make a special trip to get take out for us. Can't wait to try other dishes.
