Mykie D.

Serving breaded frozen shrimp out of the frozen food section is absurd. I don't think I've ever gone to a restaurant that specializes in seafood only to be served shrimp from a box that was already breaded. I can't get over that. The fish was okay. I went out of my way to try this place and I wasn't impressed. The service was good.

I had been craving fried shrimp, but it's obvious they are known for their catfish. I ordered a catfish and 4 shrimp combo that came with fries. Catfish was great and fried hard. This is plenty to split between 2-3 people. The Shrimp was sort of slimy. Would not recommend. I was also there during happy hour and ordered the frozen margarita. It tasted off, despite its texture liijubgv. The bar was out of certain ingredients so I did not try to get another drink.

The fish was delicious. The service was great as well. I'm glad they have a location more north to visit. I will be back soon to visit.

4pc fillets. Comes with fries, peppers, pickles and 2-pc white bread.

Great food awesome service and aesthetically pleasing. The price is reasonable considering the amount of food you receive.

This is one of my favorite spots for happy hour. We got there around 4:30 and ordered oysters, the…read morefamous cheeseburger, and drinks since they were all half-price. The oysters were fresh, plump, and briny, while the cheeseburger definitely lived up to the hype. It was juicy, flavorful, and came with a crunchy pickle on the side that was the perfect complement. The drinks were refreshing and well made. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. She checked on us several times to make sure everything was good, which made the experience even better. The place started filling up quickly as rush hour approached. The bar was packed with people coming in for happy hour, and there was already a wait for seats, so I'd definitely recommend getting there early. Yes, the menu prices have increased, but the happy hour deals still make it worth a visit.

Across every meal - from the redfish to the salads - the food has been as tasteless as styrofoam. I risked the oysters on my first visit, but after realizing the low quality here, I wouldn't dare touch their raw seafood again. Consistency doesn't exist at the bar, either. During a 2.5-hour happy hour, I ordered three Lemon Drops. They ranged from great to absolute swamp water depending on who was pouring. Lunch today was the final straw. The $14 "special" cheeseburger arrived on a stale bun with dry, unseasoned patties--and it doesn't even come with a side, just half a pickle. I've given this place more than enough chances, but they haven't brought their A-game once. Save your money, skip this strip-mall quality, and head to a reliable mid-range spot like Pappadeaux or Anaya's instead. Or, even better, get some good seafood and a great recipe and enjoy at home. This was absolutely not worth it.

We arrived at 2pm and they didn't have the server staff going to full power, but we so enjoyed the art deco environment, food, drinks and staff service overall. Just had to wait a bit here and there for a server to return when we were ready for more drink orders from the bar. All bartenders and servers were very skilled and customer service oriented, Even Coast probably needed one server more or something as it got full by 3 as the hostess had told me. Love the art deco mermaid pins the female staff wore, plus other unique thought out accoutrements. We like to share plates and loved everything we had! The oysters, burrata, smoked clam chowder, yellowtail curd, smoked salmon dip with homemade potato chips, and the fried cod, frites and Cole slaw. Some of us had cocktails- all great, then we all switched to wine, then finished with espresso martini and amazing dessert. Everything was expertly hand crafted (cocktails), and the food expertly prepared so our high praise and compliments to the Chef, Sous, Cooks, Servers, Hostess and Restaurant Manager, who did stop by and check on us. Thanks for a great experience! We'll return!

Our server was a bit condescending when we asked him to repeat himself, becoming over dramatic about his pronunciations. Very offputting. Secondly, they serve you some sort of hushpuppy-like things and garlic bread at the table, gratis. The hushpuppy-esque breaded balls were waaay overly sweet, almost like the cinnamon balls that Taco Bell has. I was expecting savory and decent breading. Neither. Overfried and dry. Ew. And the garlic bread thingies were nice on the outside, but way too garlicky for my tastes. Good if you're into garlic, I'm sure. To start, we ordered appetizers only because it didn't bode well how their hush puppies tasted. Didn't want to chance it until we tried the calamari and mushrooms. For drinks, we had a bottled IPA (of which they only have one variety) and I had a margarita rocks. How can the bartender win this "best bartender" award when they use way too much sweet & sour mix and got the blend wrong. The calamari was okay, though the batter was seasoned-free and we had to add salt to get anything out of them. The sauce they serve with it not very tasty. Surprising since it looked good. The shrooms were okay, fried into oblivion so much so that you couldn't taste the subtleties of the mushrooms themselves. For some reason, they used a different batter than the calamari, which would've been a better batter. They probably just used whatever batter they come with frozen -- it was bland and didn't enhance anything. The only thing that tasted normal was the ranch dressing you dip them in. At that point, we decided we didn't want to go any further with any main course menu items. Fool me once, fool me thrice.... Didn't want to chance it. We left and went to another sea food place (Anaya's) that has a better chef, attentive staff and a bartender who knows their shi-. This place is really more of a dive bar that happens to serve frozen sea food, which is fine if you like that sort of thing.... and if you're inebriated enough. Not a fan. Not coming back. PS, I've read Nate's management's responses to some of their Google reviews and they seem really snarky, like "surely, you let management know things didn't go well for you, right??" etc., like putting the onus on the customer to "do better" when it's their job to manage their food quality and service but apparently management doesn't taste what's coming out of the kitchen. I was wondering why the parking lot was half empty.

From the atmosphere and service to the outstanding food, this restaurant scores perfectly in every category. The ambiance is amazing! The dark, sophisticated interior, complemented by warm accent lighting, creates an inviting and comfortable dining experience. Nicole greeted us with a genuine smile and welcoming spirit before escorting us to our table. Our server, Felicity, was exceptional! She took the time to explain the menu, highlight the specials, and offer thoughtful recommendations. We took her advice and started with the delicious bread and a cup of chicken tortilla soup. What a great beginning! The soup was mouthwatering and bursting with flavor. For our entrée, we ordered the Caesar salad topped with blackened salmon. Absolutely outstanding! Without question, one of the best salads I've ever eaten! This was a lunch visit, and every aspect of the experience exceeded our expectations. Our next visit will definitely be for dinner! I wholeheartedly recommend adding Kenny's Wood Fired Grill to the very top of your must-try list. Go sooner rather than later! You'll quickly discover why Chef Kenny Bowers has earned his legendary reputation in the DFW dining scene. A truly memorable culinary experience! See you there!
