Food was awesome and waiter worked his butt off.. never an empty glass or condiment..

Amazing seafood. I stopped by before 2026 Bike Week. Service was great, she checked on me a lot. I highly recommend this seafood house. read more

Always liked this place but the last time we went it was disappointing. We ordered 2 of the seafood platters and the fish was closer to poached than grilled and way over seasoned! Really all of it was over salted. I'm thinking must have been a new cook read more

Best fresh seafood around, absolutely love everything! For me it's all about the scallops, and I can tell you that their scallops are fresh fantastic and plentiful! read more

I came here for lunch on a rainy day. The staff was friendly, food was good and prices were reasonable.

Stopped by for a late lunch. The service was courteous and quick. Started with an appetizer of crab stuffed mushrooms. They came out hot and very filling (the roumalade was good and I took 3 of the 6 home for supper). Had the fish and chips with slaw and hush puppies. The fish was two large pieces; the slaw was nice and fresh. Overall, a great meal for a good price. read more

This place was good but not great but weirdly seems to be one of the only few seafood restaurants in the area. My mom and I both got the "grilled" shrimp, which was definitely just sautéed in butter and the green beans which had no flavor. The shrimp was tasty but I was disappointed it wasn't grilled and used butter as their seasoning delivery system. My husband got the buffalo chicken sandwich which was tasty and the chicken breast was huge. Service was kind and easy. read more

I went in for my big meal of the day late Monday afternoon(12/29/25). It wasn't busy. The dining room was very nautical to the point of being kvetchy - wall spaces almost completely covered but still nice. Being a fish market too(show cased as you walk in), I was pleased there was no fishy aromatics when walking in. I heard such great things about this place I wanted to try it but I was on the disappointed side. Yes I was dining alone but it wasn't busy at all. I didn't get water. I shouldn't have to ask or at least be asked if I wanted some water. I started with the mix fried appetizer. The frog legs were really good and will order them again when I go back. I was pleasantly surprised with the squash being yellow squash rather than the dreaded zucchini, the left overs went great in my morning omelet. The calamari was plentiful but the over breaded batter it was disappointing. I prefer crispy & light batter on them. When the main entree(snow crab boil) came it was rather disappointing. Boils can range from mild to Spicy. There wasn't an option but did ask for spicy anyway. Everything was drenched in a old bay liquid that for some reason had very little flavor. The corn on the cob was not too bad & the red potatoes were large chucks of a larger potato. The recent boils I have had have the smaller red potatoes - That's neither here nor there. They were good. This shrimp for tender but but bland. The sausage seemed almost soggy and the snow crab was still ice cold not cool or room temp, ice cold. I would have asked to have it heated except I never saw the waitress again until she came with the box & the check which I had asked for 25 minutes earlier when she dropped of the meal. I also over heard they were out of gumbo and it wasn't even 5pm yet Wait!! looking on line they have early bird specials?? I might have gone for that as the dining area had filled up with many locals Nonetheless because it's still the holiday season, I gave her a really good tip and may go back to try to fish sandwich and get more frog legs but I wasn't impressed. I'd give it three stars. If friends wanted to go I'd go with them but I wouldn't say hey let's go to... read more

12 Oysters on the half shell! Raw! So good! Ice cold ! Had grilled mahi with mixed squash. We were going to have conch fritters but someone advised against them so we skipped that. Server was Tops!! She was very fun and chatty in a clever cool way. Restaurant was clean and straightforward but kinda too boring. . But we will be back! read more

We've been going here for about 12 years now. We've always enjoyed a delicious meal and excellent service. A wonderful hometown restaurant! read more

By far the best spot for fresh seafood in DeLand. They cook the food to order and the early bird menu (2 - 4) is an incredible value. The cheese grits are SO good, the best I've found in Florida! Oh and the hushpuppies were a favorite at our table. read more

This was our 2nd time, i stopped in traveling back home with my small children tonight. My daughter wanted a crab boil and I was craving a steak. I'm always waring about ordering a steak at a seafood restaurant but I was very surprised. The ribeye was perfect cut 12oz and cooked to a perfect medium rare as ordered. The crab legs were perfectly cooked. Thank you Sean for great service! read more

We were seated straight away. The host was cheerful and polite, she was all smiles. The restaurant was clean and well lit. My associate had a fish sandwich and he said it was well prepared and tasted fine, was just a little "dry". I had the fish and chips, their daily special. The coleslaw was great, their fries where hot and crispy, the fish was so-so. The fish was so thin in was overly crispy and had areas that were hard to chew. The flavor was there, maybe not the best cut for fried fish. The server keep our tea full, which earns her accolades for sure. She was on the ball and most helpful. When I return, I will try a more sophisticated dish...they had some that looked wonderful. read more

It was a full house, so there was a bit of a wait to get in. The server was good and the food came in good time. The calamari was a bit salty but tasted fresh. The oysters were great and fresh also. It's a little way out from Orlando but give it a try. read more

While passing through Deland, we decided to stop for lunch and stumbled upon a local gem serving local, fresh seafood. We enjoyed the lunch-sized portions of grilled grouper and a shrimp po-boy, both of which were tasty and generously served. We took home a slice of carrot cake and key lime cake, I couldn't resist a couple of bites before taking a picture. The owner made a point to check on us twice, a rare and appreciated touch. The atmosphere was inviting and laid-back, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. read more

Exceptional wait staff, very courteous, food was delicious, my husband had the frog legs, and I had the lunch special fish, chips and coleslaw. The food was excellent, and we cannot wait to go back. Our table was kept very clean, Very nice place to have lunch, two lunches, two ice teas. Approx. $35.. we are going back next week. read more

It was fine for lunch. 3.5% surcharge on CC. Did have a distinctly fishy smell upon walking in (I assume from the display up front). Had the fish salad with a grilled grouper which was rather tough but had good seasoning. Not sure if it was over cooked or just old. read more

Service was lovely. The waitress (Mrs. Missy) said "our cooks/ chefs know how to cook seafood" and baby she wasn't lying! I got clam strips10/10, onion rings 10/10 and fries, my kids got chicken fingers a burger, fries, corn and onion rings. Ouuu and we also had a surprise treat of hush puppies10/10. So yummy. The corn looked delicious and on the way home my daughter (10), a chicken finger connoisseur, said "I love when my chicken fingers are like that" 10/10. I want to go back and try everything else. Thank you DFH. read more

No, I have eaten better food most every place than here they have the same food of poor quality, frozen food that you would find at the grocery store. read more

This was quite an unfortunate experience. I understand that it can be a little busy and chaotic on Mothers day, but upon walking in the manager was quite rude to the employees in front of all the guests which is extremely unprofessional and embarrassing. We sat down to order and I was excited about trying their stuffed mushrooms, to which our waitress came back to inform me that they were out of, so I got the fried fish reuben sandwich. This sandwich was incredibly unstable as the bread was greasy and soggy, and bland as all hell. They have their tarter and cocktail sauces in bottles at the table, which seems kind of gross to not be refrigerated. Even the tarter sauce was bland and might as well have just been mayonnaise. read more

"Git yerseff on dan heah rat nah!!" is what I tell every one who asks about Deland Fish House! When you walk in, you immediately spy a case full of fresh fish and as you head back to your table toy pass a tempting assortment of desserts like their famous Key Lime Pie!! We had the Buffalo Shrimp appetizer along with Fried Okra and that was plenty for a meal in and of itself. Shrimp were spicy and tender and the okra was fried perfectly. We had blue cheese and ranch dressings to dip. Beer and Wine are the libations they serve and of course sodas and delicious Iced Tea! We had the Fish Reuben and The blackened Mahi sandwiches with Cole Slaw and fries for our mains. The fish is as so yummy and the breads they serve with sandwiches are hearty and fresh! I'm just glad I don't live near by because I would eat here all the time and be as big as a house! read more

Deland Fish House - Buffalo Shrimp and Fried Okra - Seafood Markets Near Me - Deland, Florida

Food was delicious. We each had grilled fish which seems more baked than grilled but it was very good. The food came out very fast and it was very hot. Service was prompt. The location has a hometown feel to it. I will definitely go there again. read more

Pro--Ordered shrimp and grits to go. Very friendly staff and food was ready when I got there. Con-- I have had this dish many times here and I have to say I was disappointed this round and don't know if I am willing to give another go as it was like eating watered down mush! Where is the sausage and the wine sauce? Is this because I got it to go? Very disappointed for the price. read more

It is difficult to get New England haddock this place tops the list great service great food. I will return here multiple times.

Very nice grilled seafood. Perfectly fried Okra. Grouper was amazing. Definitely budget friendly. I apologize that I didn't take a photo.

Delicious food and great service. Angie was happy to have us there (it seemed!) and the food was fresh and delicious with ample portions of fish (grilled mahi) cooked just right. Cute nautical theme in the dining room and it was busy but not crazy! read more

There are much better places to get seafood in and around delandThis place is complete waste of time. Services slow management is worse.

Traveling for work and thought this restaurant would be okay, my big mistake! I ordered a grilled tuna dinner and only the slaw was passable. My grilled tuna was cold, over cooked and had not one bit of seasoning, no not even salt and pepper. The same was true of the vegetable option that I chose and even the hush puppies were dried out, over fried and not edible. I was told that there was no one in the restaurant to address my meal issues, so I paid my bill, tipped my waitress (who did nothing to add to my dining experience and left) and I left to find dinner elsewhere! I'm a midwestern and I have never had a seafood meal this awful, diners beware! read more

This place excelled everywhere. We got in right away for dinner. No drinks or appetizers. Not that the appetizers wouldn't be great. Good selection on them but I would be eating them all by myself. I know candyce, she would not try them. Candyce had grilled chicken breasts with steamed red potatoes and ear of corn. She really enjoyed the food and the chicken breast was very large. I had seafood platter with mahi as the fish, scallops, shrimp grilled and fried oysters. Big portions too. 2 sides of red potatoes and Cole slaw All was excellent, served hot, served fast. Didn't have to wait for iced tea. Waitress would bring a new glass out all the time Be careful of the red sauce. Super spicy. Don't just dump on you food. Use a side dish and dip in it. It's good but spicy Good service, great food and take a look at the dessert area....key lime cake??? It looked great but was so full. Worth the trip read more

I really like DeLand Fish House. The food is tasty and the cake is scrumptious. The owner/manager is often there to greet customers. The parking is lacking. Especially now that a business has been added literally right in the same parking area. There's a tiny, Caucasian lady who wears glasses that needs to be trained on customer service skills. She's loud, rude, and bad for business. I enjoy my visits when she has zero to do with me. read more

I was informed that they had really good food, but the shrimp-n-grits were a bust. Bland shrimp, didn't taste cheese, and grits were runny. I didn't even eat much of it before tossing. The service was good though. I (may) return after I get over my disappointment and try something else as there aren't many places in DeLand to get decent seafood which is a shame being close to water. read more

Prices too.high Portions too small Taste bland Service is average Need a better cooking manager read more

Deland Fish House isn't fancy, so for the atmosphere, I graded 3 stars (this is appropriate so future guests don't expect fancy). Food and Service and Price FIVE stars. I wish that I lived closer so I could eat here more. read more

Met up with friends at the Deland Fish House, which is a halfway point between St Augustine and The Villages. It is located at 310 E International Speedway Blvd. It was the second time we did it. Enjoyed the food so much last year that we had to come back. The restaurant is very casual. There is plenty of parking. We had reservations for 1:30 on a Tuesday, but there were plenty of tables available. We were seated immediately. Our waitress was Missy. She got our drink order in, while we caught up with our friends. Missy didn't rush us. I ordered the blackened scallops and a side of fried onions. They were so good. Prices were very reasonable. Will definitely return. read more

Been a few months, but have to review. We got the usual platters and the fish was way overcooked. The manager (possibly owner) just said they will get it right for us the next time (gee, thanks) well, next time, same thing, overcooked and dry. We are done with this place. Stay away. This is a place that specializes in cooking seafood. Well, learn how to do it right. read more

Service was excellent. Fish was fresh and well prepared. Side dishes were average. They do offer lunch portions for dinner which is plenty for smaller appetites. read more

Smell of fish at counter was a bit off putting. Food and service made up for it. FNC was decent, frog legs, slaw and hush puppies were good.

It has a family atmosphere. The owner walks around and checks on everyone. Seems to have a lot of regulars, friendly staff and great service. Food came out fast and was very good. It's a must have! read more

If you are hungry don't go there. To start with their oil for the dinner crowd was old. We ordered fried calamari they came quickly --not hot and oily. I made the mistake to order shrimp and grits, a huge bowl of nasty tasting grits with 6 small shrimps and 6 thinly slices of smoked sausage. Yuck. My husband had Ipswich clams -- they were fried, the oil he said was old not very good and expensive. To top it off when I asked to break a $20 bill some old nasty woman behind the bar said we don't have a cash register. When I said that is insane she argued with me. AVOID AVOID AVOID -- total garbage never again spent 81 dollars of garbage. I was starved and left hungry. Had to eat a banana at the hotel to hold me over. AVOID AVOID AVOID A total rip off read more
