We had a wonderful dinner. Everything we ordered was delicious and the cocktails were great. The food portions were plentiful. We started with the crab cake appetizer, spicy Bloody Mary and Tropicolada Frozen Cocktail (similar to a Piña Colada but better). Our entrees were the Seafood bake and Shrimp scampi. The customer service was good. No complaints. We will definitely visit again when in the area. read more

See all

Yelp really needs half ratings. This would be a 3.5er. Beer list is solid...with Sweetwater 420 on tap. Appetizers were great (the seafood dip). Grilled grouper was above average for my entrée. Both my dinner guests liked their dinner read more

Great foods and drinks ! Me and my husband eat here on every holiday.We order the wings for our appetizer, then shrimp carbonara pasta, and lastly our favorite pineapple drink. read more

I will give 2 stars just because our waitress was so sweet. The service is great! The food however- is terrible. My husband and I both Only took a few bites of our meals- I'm kind of surprised that the waitress didn't notice that and offer us our money back or free dessert. I got lobster bisque which was pretty terrible. Tasted like canned bisque. Only a rare piece of lobster and it was smaller than a crumb and soooooo dry. Gross. I also got a crab cake sandwich which had an absurd amount of shell in it. I'm surprised I didn't break my teeth on it! I was so bad I had to spit it in a napkin. My husband got a grouper sandwich and he said it was terrible. The bread disintegrated because it's not the appropriate bread for that type of sandwich. The fish had zero seasoning and was overlooked. I'm not sure why so many people have given this restaurant such high reviews. We eat a lot of seafood in both divey/beachy and nicer restaurants so I do feel like I'm more picky. Obviously, I'd never return. read more

Good service, decent prices, bartender was very nice and efficiant, food is always hot, etc.

Great seafood place near Buford, drinks are strong and tasty, starters are flavorful, entrees are filling and delicious! Our waiter Hunter was attentive and quick on the refills. All around a great experience! read more

This place has a very clean, warm and friendly atmosphere and their food was absolutely remarkable. Best Filet Mignon I've had in years. The creme brulee was perfect. Yes, I said creme brulee. Perfect. Need I say more? Let me put it this way, It was so good, it made my wife horny. Go check it out. Bring your wife. Trust me. read more

Awesome seafood grill. Got grouper Imperial, with steamed brocolli and green beans. Soooo many seafood meal choices. Can't make up my mind which to get, they all appetizing and yummy. The crew are friendly. Great marina theme. Great for group dinner. read more

Excellent food! Service could be improved upon but we went in mid afternoon for a late lunch. I'd definitely go back! Better prices and quality than Red Lobster read more

Worst experience ever! Trashy waitress and servers with horrible customer service. Waited forever on drinks & food, had to clear our own table, and ended up with hair in the food. Gross! read more

Ate there twice in the past week once for dinner and once for lunch. Both meals were excellent and service was great. Definitely my go to seafood restaurant from now on read more

Well, I wish that I could give a better score, but I can't. We took my mother there for Mother's Day last year. The food was good, but the service was not. We gave them the benefit of the doubt though, because it was Mother's Day, and the restaurant was pretty busy. Fast forward to tonight, not a holiday, and we have another bad experience with the service. My mother and I walked in, and the hostesses just looked at us as if they didn't want us there. I had to tell them that it was just the 2 of us. They sat us, and we waited for about 10 minutes, watching servers pass us without even acknowledging us. When we were seated, there was a woman sitting in the booth beside us. She left, someone came and cleaned her table, and then a family was seated there. Not even a minute after the family is seated, a server comes and greets them. All of this happened, and my mother and I still had not even been asked about drinks. We got up to leave, and when my mother brought it to the attention of the hostesses, they just nonchalantly apologized. I have worked in food service, so I am pretty forgiving. But when you're completely ignored by the whole staff, it makes you question the work culture. read more

First time visiting. Food was fresh and delicious with a wide variety to choose from. Valerie was our waitress and did a great job, very friendly and made sure we were taken care of. read more

Great service by Taj who runs the bar!!! And the Head Chef was an absolute pleasure to meet!! Food was great!!!

Great food and excellent service. Had the snow crab legs, Snapper Fiesta, and blackened grouper. The fish was amazingly fresh with big portions at a decent price. Seemed pretty clean, but a couple of flies did hang around our food which was just a slight annoyance. Definitely a good place to go if you want fresh tasting fish in a relaxed atmosphere read more

We showed up mid-afternoon on a Saturday. Greeted pretty unenthusiastically, but that improved a little bit at the table with our waitress. I ordered the founder with citrus glaze. It was average, but the citrus glaze had an unanticipated and an unwelcomed strong hint of mustard. Hush puppies were really good and fresh. Rice pilaf was average. I'm not sure I'd make any special effort to come back. read more

The middle of my crab cakes were so cold I could tell it was previously frozen. The scallops tasted like imitation, they were slightly bigger than a pencil eraser. I hate sending things back, I haven't even done a review since 2014 but had to about this meal. read more

Being from Florida, we are always skeptical of seafood places that aren't within smelling distance of the salt water spray. This skepticism had kept us out of Coastal Breeze for years, but we are so glad we finally tried it. My wife had the Bacon Bleu Salmon, and loved it. She's not a fan of bleu cheese, but Amber was very accommodating, and had the kitchen place it on the side. The sautéed spinach, bacon, and white wine sauce on the dish was delicious. I had the Sea Bake, which is shrimp and scallops in a Parmesan cream sauce over penne pasta, topped with crab meat and baked. It was out of this world. The kids weren't very adventurous... macaroni and cheese for three, and a hamburger for the fourth, but theirs was very good as well. And, at five dollars a piece, they are pretty reasonable, considering the amount of food they put on the kids' plates. Try the sweet potato fries, especially if you have a sweet tooth, because instead of salt, they are sprinkled with sugar. Also, the honey butter that comes with the rolls they bring to the table is a delicious treat. If you manage to save room for dessert, you can't go wrong with their creme brûlée. The staff is very responsive and helpful, especially our waitress, Amber. She went out of her way to make sure that my wife had no concerns with her meal due to her wheat and soy allergies, by checking with the kitchen to make sure everything was okay for her to eat. We will definitely be going back! read more

Coastal Breeze - Fried gulf shrimp with sweet potato fries and coleslaw. - Seafood Near Me - Buford, Georgia

Loved it. Had a need for some blackened grouper. Wife got the grilled grouper. Both were great. Server was very friendly and attentive. Atmosphere was also nice with side beach type music in the background. We both got desert and it was excellent. Will be back soon. Sure cheaper than a trip to the beach! read more

I had Rachel as my server and she was really attentive and superly duperly cruperly good at her job. She filled up my drinks the second they were empty and brought me food out at the speed of light. If I were you I would definitey ask for RACHEL if you come. read more

I have heard very mixed reviews about this restaurant but I took my boyfriend there as a surprise (he loves seafood) and we had an amazing time! The service was stellar, the atmosphere was very clean and modern, and the food was DELICIOUS! I got grouper fingers and my boyfriend got coconut shrimp, and we both loved our meals! I don't know if they have undergone changes in management that might explain the mixed reviews, but we had a simply delightful dining experience and we will definitely be returning!! read more

Coastal Breeze - Grouper fingers with extra hush puppies instead of coleslaw in the front, coconut shrimp in the back. Both incredibly tasty! - Seafood Near Me - Buford, Georgia

So glad this place is near our home. We love it here. Great seafood options. Full Bar. Nice outdoor seating and a fun beach vibe. We've eaten here 15+ times and never had a bad experience. read more

Absolutely amazing food! So fresh and so good. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a date night with the husband or a family dinner out. Staff is very pleasant. Nothing compares to this fantastic menu!!! read more

Very good and affordable. I ordered to go, the man that took my order on the phone, the hostess and bartender were all very nice. We got the wings with Caribbean jerk seasoning, a burger with fries, sea bake pasta and am order of sweet potato fries. Wings very good, burger slight under temp we ordered but still very good, sea bake nice and cheesey, lots of scallops and shrimp, regular and sweet potato fries both excellent! Will definitely go back. read more

I really enjoy this place a lot. The food is always on point and my family eats here often. We're definitely regulars and well known. I don't come here as much as the rest of my family bc it's a little too pricey but when we have the funds or are celebrating, we like to pay a visit. The staff is always friendly. My favorite is the coastal shrimp. I usually just have that as a meal and the crab legs are great. read more

Very similar to Third Coast Grill who previously occupied this space. Some of the items are a bit pricey for what you get but the food and service were good. The dining room was full of large groups but the service was on point and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. read more

Everything was great, from the service from our server "Sheila" to the food. Raw oysters were great and tasted fresh. Crab cake was really good with lots of crab meat, and shrimp was not laden down with tons of obnoxious coating. And the sweet potato fries were addictive. Wish this place was closer, we'd be here all the time. read more

Good service, wide selection, reasonable prices, nice atmosphere, and they take call ahead seating! We really enjoyed our first visit to Coastal Breeze Seafood Grill! read more

Have been back since I officially moved here and wow still great and still customer service oriented. Great upscale done right version of red lobster basically how red lobster wishes it was ..... But it's own style of food and treats once again I'll be back !!! read more

Service isn't that great! Food is okay...went there a cpl of weeks ago and we had to ask for refills and she took our cups off the table instead of brining us new ones so we sat there with our food and no drinks...and then she refilled them with diet coke and we were drinking tea...she only had one other one top she was waiting on...May need to hire new servers. read more

Stopped by for lunch and had the fish and chips which was quite good. Three moderately sized pieces of cod deep fried perfectly with a crunchy and slightly chewy batter crust. Nicely seasoned fries. I ate it all and did not leave hungry. Attentive service and fairly quick time from order to serving. Casual friendly atmosphere. I will be back again! read more

The food is okay. The service, eh. The employees seem to be in a hurry and since we live down the road we frequently get to-go orders, which often seem to be just thrown together. Tonight we ordered a fish and chips which we found had no tartar sauce when we opened the box, and a Coastal Burger which was very over-seasoned. The bun was also about half the size of the meat patty and very soggy. The hush puppies on the side were cold. There was really no reason for any of this as we had the food ordered and picked up within 15 minutes. Sometimes the food is really good, sometimes not so great. read more

Great little hometown secret! Recently moved here and just discovered this "gem" of a seafood restaurant. They even went out of their to offer and prepare a vegetarian dish for my husband. Fabulous food. Don't pass this place by! read more

The staff is very immature and inexperienced at this restaurant. We enjoyed our food...Coastal Shrimp appetizer, scallops florentine and a Ribeye. read more

My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner here and we had no idea we were the first ones until afterward! They were the absolute best. Everyone kept saying how much fun they had and how delicious the food was. Truly I think the rehearsal dinner food may have beaten out the reception! The owner was so kind and the service was killer! Cannot say enough about them. Price was amazingly reasonable too. Will recommend to all of my friends! read more

Had the shrimp and scallop skewer and it was great! My lunch date had the seafood bake and 14 month old had the kids Mac and cheese and she loved it read more
