I called because my family and I were looking for a place that was pet friendly. I was very happy with the service provided over the phone. They sat us as soon as we arrived and we received such great service between the hostess and our server, (who I believe is the owner) Karim. What an amazing experience it was for us on our first visit. My family and I were just blown away between the service provided and the delicious food we were served. I don't EVER leave reviews on places good/bad. This place was just worth taking my time to leave a good and honest review. I even took pictures and I NEVER do that. Please visit this place they deserve it. They work very hard to keep their customers happy. This is a place my family and I will continue to give our business. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in town. Love the BFG!! The food is always delicious. Every SINGLE time, it's consistently excellent...never disappointed. It's BYOB, small cozy space, nice atmosphere, fresh ingredients. Service is great, we usually have Karim as our waiter (very knowledgeable about every dish and he's the absolute best!) see photos below of some dishes we had here. read more

Our server, Greg, was very friendly and personable and a pleasure to have serve us. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and described how the food was cooked, he changed my mind when I thought I decided what I wanted. I'm glad I went with the special for the day that he described because it was delicious! They offer a variety of food and flavors. Would've given this 5 stars, except that our order somehow got put to the back of the queue, and after 45 mins of waiting we asked about the status of our order and found out what happened. But about 5 mins later our food came out and it was fresh, not cold like it had been sitting there. Nice outdoor dining area and overall very good experience and hoping to go back for another enjoyable time. read more

Four of us ate here tonite on the recommendation of one of the party who had eaten here before. It was a great idea! Tom was an outstanding server with the perfect balance of attention and timing. The food was fresh, flavorful and pleasantly presented. Pork nachos, plantains, Kung pao chicken, and crab cake plate are all excellent choices. The whole place was clean, with a relaxed easy vibe. Very glad to have found this new place in an old space! read more

I have been eating at Blue Fish Grill quite a few times and really like it. I definitely will recommend this restaurant to my friends!

Ate here for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. I'm a bit of a restaurant snob. Quality of food is excellent, not what you would expect from a grill place. Started off with calamari, lightly battered and cooked perfectly. Crab cake and po' boy were our sandwich picks and they were extraordinary. Staff was so friendly and attentive. Gourmet quality, flavor and texture with everything seasoned properly. Environment conscious as well with not providing straws unless asked and non plastic containers for take home. read more

This our favorite seafood restaurant in town. I really love how you can mix and match your main courses. Several different fish and sides to choose from. There are also plenty of options for anyone that is not a seafood fan. Service has never disappointed. Must try place if you are looking for quality seafood and adventurous diverse specials that change weekly. read more

Blue fish grill is a great example of friendly service, good food and a relaxing atmosphere. Their grilled tuna is exactly how it should be - rare inside, crispy seasoned outside. They have outdoor seating, though it is unfortunately in direct sunlight. My only other complaint is that the interior is a bit stark and sterilized- feeling. But the food is good, the wine is good, the prices aren't crazy, and they serve brunch to your lazy ass till 3:30 on weekends. read more

Excellent food, especially love the Spicy Tuna Nacho and the Chicken Taco that were super delicious. What's stands out about this place was the exceptional the service. Our server, Karim, was full of humor and warmth, he also went above and beyond by giving us detail recommendations on where to check out in the area. We had a wonderful trip all thanks to all his recommendations. read more

Blue Fish Grill - Spicy Tuna Nacho - Seafood Near Me - Flemington, New Jersey

We've been coming here for quite few years now, although less frequent nowadays than in the past. I loved their original location where I still think they served the food better than current location. Not to say it isn't good here now, it's just different but just as good. I usually order tacos, al cartel items with grilled seafood. So last visit which was few weeks ago with my husband and boys, I ordered the Latin bowl. Awesome! We love the vibe here and staff is so friendly and patient with our young antsy boys. Definitely will return for more visits in the years ahead of us. read more

Solid and dependable grilled food. Focusing on seafood, the meat dishes are very good too. Always friendly service.

Having just had twins, my wife and I can really only get out once a month for a meal together. Needless to say, sometimes it does't happen during 'regular' dinner hours. On a beautiful Tuesday night, we were in the mood for some seafood. It was 7:50pm, so we looked up Blue Fish Grill - darn only open until 8pm. My wife called anyway and where as most restaurants I have dealt with would say no, the girl who answered the phone was extremely welcoming, encouraging us to come in, even though they were 'closing' in the next few minutes. My next concern was that we would feel rushed going this close to closing. Couldn't have been more wrong with this concern. The place was surprisingly fairly crowded and we were welcomed and treated as if they would let us stay all night. A HUGE part of this experience was our waiter, Karim. He was one of the friendliest, attentive, warming servers I've ever encountered - a really great guy (even if he is a Patriots fan!). He treated us exceptional and the pride he took in his job, you would have thought he owned the business. Can't say enough about this guy. I had the Tuna, my wife and the Mahi Mahi - both were fresh and flavorful. Atmosphere is awesome. A must try if you're in the area! read more

We had dinner at this wonderful restaurant last night. The food, service, and outdoor seating were amazing. Mohammad our manager/server made the evening with his attention and funny jokes. Cannot wait to return. read more

Tonight, myself and several friends went to Blue FIsh grill. We had a great experience. Our serve Jackson R was funny and very helpful with the menu questions. I would definitely go back again and hope that Jackson will be our server. Mike D read more

Consistently great! I have been coming to Blue Fish for quite some time. They always have a consistently great menu, and prepare the seafood to perfection. Note, I have never tried anything other than the seafood dishes. Everything is fresh!! You can see it when you are served, how vibrant the colors are, and the flavors all POP. Menu is straight forward with a lot of favorites of mine...mussels, always great!! They do add curry to them, so take note...but I love em'!!! Although they have a great menu, I have come to the conclusion that I ALWAYS order whatever their weekly special is, so I reserve from reviewing the menu anymore and wait for on of the pleasant staff to inform me what I'll be ordering each visit, lol! I have never had a bad experience, in either the quality of the food, or the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff. It is BYOB, which helps with price, and Lone Eagle is a short walk away, making it very convenient. I highly recommend them if you are in the Flemington area. read more

Very good food. Some nights it is so packed, that it gets very loud. Very good service.

This is a great little place in a block of artsy buildings (a gallery, coffee shop and sometimes farmers market). They have indoor and outdoor dining offered and we sat outside and enjoyed the nice weather in a quiet spot of tables lined up to view the street. The Baja tacos were excellent and so was the French fries. The cod was nice and crispy and fresh. Others at the table were equally happy with their items. The menu is really small, and some items are a little pricey for being a la cart. That's my only complaints. The waiter was very attentive and overall I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys seafood or bistro dining. The outside dining has a nice view of all the pretty houses on the block as well, that's a nice bonus. read more

Might say "Fish" in the name, but the best thing I ever had there (besides the awesome French Fries) was the Short Rib. It's a must.

If I could give it Zero stars, I would. The burger was so undercooked I had to finish cooking it at home. I took a bite and it was super pink. Should have gone to Five Guys - they know how to make a burger. read more

the best restaurant flemington has to offer. Cozy inside, amazing food & the staff and owners are a delight!!

Really, really good. I had the calamari and mussels. Cook perfect with a hint of heat. The server a local wine that is outstanding. The service is spectacular. Hostess was really friendly and accommodating. My service was great. She was really nice and friendly and seemed to know her stuff. I found this place by accident but I will not forget it. It will be a place I go when I'm in town. read more

Fresh seafood. Reasonable prices. Diverse menu. We love it here. Try the Ahi Tuna bowl, it's delicious!

They changed locations to a new place a few years ago. The food is great, presentation was sub par. The price was also on the expensive side. They used to serve with paper plates and Plastic utensils. Very weak presentation and honestly over priced. I would recommend to try and see if its for you, but dont wxpect to leave without a bill for atleast $50 for two people. read more

A few of my friends raved about this place and we decided to give it a try. We left feeling very uninspired. Ordinarily this place will get 2.5 stars, but seriously food is just mediocre (maybe it was better in the past?). We had the fried calamari to start, then 2 bowls, one cod and one mahi mahi. The fried calamari was very meh, rather tasteless. The mahi mahi was Not fresh, and tough, and the beans in the bowl was stone cold. The cod was OK but the batter was way too think. A few of the wait staff is simply not engaged with being prompt with service. We had to ask a second waiter to get water, which was never refilled. We asked for our check and this waiter spent the next 10 minutes to clear a table near us, in the most inefficient manner possible. We had to get another waiter to bring us our check. These guys were never around to help, they appear with food/drink, and promptly disappear. We shall not return. read more

So I fought my wife when she asked me to go out tonight in Flemington to the Blue Fish Grill. But I gave in since it was a while since we had a night out without the kids. Man, I am glad I gave in.... This place was AWESOME. I ordered wings as an appetizer. Best wings I have had in NJ. I asked our waiter Karim (who you thought was part owner - he was attentive, friendly and knew the menu like he was the chef) how they made these wings. They smoke their wings first and finish them off on the fryer. Juicy and perfectly cooked. The hot sauce is homemade and damn good. For my entree I had mex-Cali burrito. My wife had fish tacos. Both of these were great - job well done with the favors. Everything we ate was thoughtfully done. This will be our go to spot in Flemington!!!! read more

This place always delivers on interesting meals. My husband had the barramundi fish, which was a good size serving and yummy. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. read more

Hate hate hate the new menu and prices!! Not only did they raise their prices, but they removed our favorite menu item (teriyaki tacos). One of our fellow diners always gets the tuna, but her portion was tiny compared to what it used to be. They claim it's better quality tuna, but the previous tuna was fine and actually justified the price. Now you want to charge more for less?! What we enjoy is the nice atmosphere, good food, BYOB, and outside seating. Although they also removed the paper towels and replaced with napkins, so I guess they are trying to kill the relaxed atmosphere as well? I'm not going back if they expect customers to pay more for less or the same. Guess the owner got a bit greedy. Such a shame! read more

I've eaten here many times over the past few years, and I'm only giving two stars on this review for a few reasons... First, they changed the menu and took away some of my favorite items including the BFG fish tacos (which was really their signature menu item) and I believe there used to be a salmon teriyaki taco as well that is now gone. So there are fewer choices of fish tacos and more upscale menu items. Second, unless you get there early you will encounter a very long wait, especially on Friday or Saturday evenings. Third, depending what night you go, the service can be very good or spotty. In order to earn 4 stars, I would say you have to have consistent food and service and not leave repeat/return customers feeling disappointed. On the most recent visit, I ordered the crab cakes, and my daughter ordered fish tacos and the food came out almost immediately. When I say immediately, I mean immediately. Like we had just ordered, I was two sips into my beer and the meals came. Well, how can you prepare crab cakes that quickly or fish tacos for that matter, unless the food was already cooked ahead and left sitting out, and then warmed up? The crab cakes were disappointing to say the least. I would say the owners should take note of several people's comments about the change in the menu! read more

After I heard so many amazing things about this place, I started trying to plan a trip to the outlets just so that I could try it. The first time I managed to get out there (it's super far from me) it was closed for renovations!!! Sad. The chef was inside painting and drinking a beer. Word. The second time I tried, they were closed again! The third time I called before, and I'm glad I did because OH MY CRABCAKE! Usually I don't really prefer them to be deep fried crisp, but it works here. The crabcake sandwich, served with a caper and red pepper tartar sauce is so good it has the ability to make you cry. Like actual tears of joy on my...er, I mean your face. The bun is crisp and fresh, the fries are actually crusted with what tastes like old bay and some SUGAR. BRILLIANT. Amazing. The staff is great; helpful, fast. They're all young kids, so they have pep, and it looks like they have fun at work which speaks volumes about the owners. Also, I've had special orders before, like making a salad with more veggies and greens and having a crabcake on top, and boy did they deliver. That was a huge injection of micronutrients that was, at the time, much needed. Did I mention this place is a BYOB? I can't express how much I love BYOBs. Anyway, I'm so grateful that my boyfriend wouldn't stop talking my ear off about how very much he loved the place to the point where we went three times before being served. Suffice it to say, it's worth the wait. read more

Blue Fish Grill moved down the street. The new place is much nicer in every way launching Blue Fish into the 5 star category. There are some questionable downsides like the fact that the prices may have went up (just a little) and the menu has changed (just a little) but that's o.k. the menu is arguably better and I don't mind paying more when there is nothing else out there this good, healthy, and unique for the price. Lastly I have to admit I'm a little turned off by the ritzy environment. But now Blue Fish can be a place to take your friends, boss, family and it still doubles as healthy take out. Go here. read more

Indoor and outdoor seating available for this family style restaurant. It's in a row of small mom and pop places and they're nice to walk through on this Saturday afternoon. I ordered the Tokyo taco that was $11 with $2 extra for fries. Reviewers are not exaggerating with the quality of food; this was amazing. The salmon was made with love and expert grilling! Servers were polite. Very busy so service was slow. Worth the wait. Very happy. read more

This place is a "fish shack"; not a restaurant. So don't expect fine china or cloth napkins. Just be happy that they don't use plastic knives and forks. Napkins are replaced with rolls of paper towels on each table. Want a wine glass for your BYOB - it is a plastic cup. But the food is very good and an excellent price value. As long as fish shack is OK by you; give it a try. Be aware that the place gets crowded in a hurry. Tables inside seat about forty. A large group might have a problem getting seated together. Several outside tables for better weather. Service was good, fast and friendly. My only gripe was that the kitchen sent out our entrees before we finished the appetizer. On our first visit we split an order of mussels to start - good but the sauce was under-seasoned. Salmon was very good, as were the grilled shrimp. Fries were outstanding. Homemade potato chips disappointed. Sauces with entrees were very good. Key Lime pie for dessert was very very nice. Background music was light rock. read more

1st time here and I'll defiantly be coming back. This hidden gem is a must "to do" on the bucket list. The food was extremely goooood!! We shared Salmon Fries and Fried Calamari. For entries we had the Mahi Mahi Latin bowl , the grilled Shrimp Salad and the special Grouper Sandwich. We were lucky that we snuck in without a reservation because the hosted felt bad for us, so I recommend getting a reservation. read more

Food is always delicious here and they always have excellent specials. The service is always great as well. The wait staff is always friendly and you never feel rushed. One of my favorite BYOB restaurants in Flemington! One more thing, their outdoor dining is so nice on warm summer evenings. read more

Ate dinner there on Saturday night in the upstairs dinning area. It had to b almost as cold as eating outdoors. We asked the waiter to please turn on the heat twice but it never warmed up. Food was good but the dining experience was terrible since we had to eat with our coats on. Not enjoyable at all. read more

It's my first time here in several months and it turns out that they got rid of my two top menu items, along with other things. The bfg tacos and grilled catfish po'boy were the only items I would order. Had I known they got rid of them I would not have come. I drive 35 minutes from piscataway for those two menu items. I reluctantly ordered the blackened shrimp tacos instead. Not nearly as good. I doubt I'll be coming back. What a shame. I used to love BFG. read more

Wait! A spectacular fish place in Flemington?! Yes indeed. My girlfriend and I came here after hearing about how good it was. We were skeptical because we are very particular about seafood as so many restaurants do it so very bad. Plus Flemington has so so restaurants. However, Blue Fish made an impression on us immediately. It is just as good if not better than some fish places in Annapolis. First, it's very casual. Paper towels for napkins and paper plates to eat on. Don't come hear and expect 1st class amenities. It's a finger food fish joint folks!! Second, it's cheap. Oh and I should mention it's BYOB which is a huge plus. So bring a six pack of beer or bottle of wine and sit outside and feast away. Try the fish tacos and the onion rings. I hear their crab cakes are excellent although I have not tried them yet. Anyway stop reading this and just go! read more

Walked inside to an out of place decor. Cold and plain, lacking of pictures, except a large pic of a mermaid with a face that only a mother could love....... They should have painted my cute waitress, Shaina's face on the mermaid instead. First my tokyo taco, filled with an overload of cole slaw. Pulled most out, and any flavors it had went with it. Second, the baja taco, also filled with the same cole slaw ( cooks are a one trick pony). Needy of flavor, oh "yes" there on the counter, a bottle of " chulo hot sauce " sent from the heavens read more

Try the tacos! And the 1/2 tea & 1/2 lemonade. Everything in the menu is delicious! I've had the salmon, Mahi Mahi, calamari, tacos, & the sides. All the food is grilled over a wood burning grill. BYOB but you can purchase a bottle of wine if you like. The service is wonderful & the building is an old pottery factory with alot of charm. One of my favorites! read more
