It's not always easy to find a kids' meal that's actually good quality, but they nailed it! The mahi and shrimp tacos were absolutely outstanding. The fish was perfectly cooked, the shrimp were juicy, and all the toppings complemented everything beautifully. Every bite was fresh and full of flavor. And let's talk about the okra -- hands down the BEST okra ever! Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and not greasy at all. I could've ordered a second batch just for myself! Great food, great atmosphere, and we'll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

There's something about Flying Fish that feels like a peek into the old world. The guys behind the counter have been there for at least 15 years, and that kind of consistency adds to the charm. The food is always good. Need a taste of Louisiana? This is the place. Need a cold beer with friends? This is the place. Need some delicious food? Yep this is the place.

You can actually enter through the next door Stockyards Hotel lobby; just walk into the lobby and go to the left, walk towards the back and enter through the double doors. I really enjoyed my lunch sitting on a tooled leather stool at the bar by myself, and they even have real saddles if you want to sit on one of those. The server/bartender was so nice and she was very patient with me as it was my first time ordering here. I had the ribs plate which was fantastic with a corn cob and french fries. They feature a local craft beer called "Buffalo Butt Beer" which is why behind the bar there's a giant stuffed rear end of a buffalo. The server explained this to me. I think it must get crowded in here, but I didn't have a problem getting a spot to eat at the bar on a busy Sunday right after the rodeo. But you probably should make a reservation if you want a table. Don't miss the special metal sink near the restrooms at the back that is just for washing your hands after eating ribs! I highly recommend this place as the Stockyards Hotel itself where the restaurant and bar is located is a historic building and is actually the hotel where the outlaws Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow stayed in 1934. And as it looks like this saloon has been around for around 100 years, maybe Bonnie and Clyde had a drink at this bar as well.

Really cool bar in the stockyards. Lots to look at and I enjoyed my beer…read more So why the three stars? First of all I work behind a bar. I have no problem having fun behind the bar and even trying to get as big of a tip as I can. When we were there our bartender was working really hard to get these business men to tip her and her fellow bartender really big. Being in the business I listened. She suggested to them that they tip her 100%, I believe their bill was $435. I saw they laid out $100 cash for the tip. In my world a pretty decent tip. The bartender went on and on that they should give her a bigger tip. She reduced her demands to $200 for herself and $100 for the other bartender. I believe she ended up with $100 cash. Like I said I don't mind a little bit of fun, however after 30 plus minutes it just became obnoxious. I don't want to feel like I'm in a strip club with girls trying to hustle tips!

Went here with for a company dinner. It was okay…read more Cheesesticks were a win for appetizers, large portions & plenty on each serving that came out. The cesar salad was overly drenched in dressing, the dressing is good but it was a just alot. We do appreciate that there are alternative options offered not within the menu we had set, I think someone mentioned there was an alfredo & maybe another fish such as salmon? I can't remember all the reasons why we asked but I know one reason was because they said they could not cater to the individual steak preferences in large groups, made sense in an efficiency way when they explained it. What they didn't tell us after some chose not order steak for that very reason, was that after anyone who ordered steak & cut into it, they could back to cook it longer based on each individual's preference. I'm allergic to shrimp, I ordered the steak with vegetables. I did inform the waiter that I had a shrimp allergy, he was gracious & asked me a few questions to help better address my food preparation. A few minutes later another staff member, maybe a manager, comes in & thanks us for choosing there restaurant. Then he asks who has the allergy & asks the same questions the waiter asked me. It just put me on the spotlight that I (nor several of my coworkers) felt was necessary. It wasn't embarrassing but more annoying seeing how our waiter had been thorough, or come to me one on one just to reconfirm if needed. I felt bad for my coworkers because they now had genuine concern I might be exposed to something since many had shrimp dishes. I will say that I did enjoy the steak & asparagus. Dessert was delicious, a great creme brulee & the cheesecake slices were generous! Also, there were larger amounts of time between when the first person got their salad or soup to when the last person received theirs, same situation with the entrées. In both phases they basically asked who was missing what & then asked what they had. Refills & drinks, the same. Maybe they were short handed but if they were, we wished they would've communicated that so we could anticipate any timing issues. Aside from the allergy thing, the staff tending to us were very polite. Maybe it's more of a training issue higher up because they seemed to be doing their best, but right now it's a miss at this location.

Our group attended for a company dinner and we enjoyed our array of delicious dishes as well as cocktails. Eddie V's is a fine dining experience with business casual dress code required. The interior is polished and elegant with a private room bookable for groups. Now to the food! Appetizers were incredible and I wouldn't mind them being the main course either, especially the calamari. Crispy, fried to perfection with stir fried veggies filled with so much flavor. For the main course, I had the Chilean sea bass. The quality of the seafood here does not disappoint. While Hong Kong styled, it does stray from the original dish stylistically. The traditional element of thinly sliced scallions doused with hot oil as a finishing touch to extract the essence wasn't there but replaced with a bed of micro greens. A little less flavor than expected but delicious nonetheless. Dessert was decadent with the dark chocolate notes mingling well with the fresh berries and ice cream. What stood out even more was the PROFESSIONAL staff. Hands down they were some of the best I've ever encountered in any restaurant experience. They were so attentive to all of us, got all of our orders down without any hiccups, and expertly maneuvered in and out during the company presentation which is definitely a challenge no doubt! Well done Eddie V's!

Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu, attentive without being overbearing, and genuinely kind and enjoyable. We tried a few tacos from the happy hour menu, along with oysters and a tostada, and everything was delicious. I added a Caesar salad at the end, and unfortunately, it didn't live up to the rest of the meal. Even with extra dressing, it was underwhelming and not something I'd order again. The restaurant itself is clean, bright, and airy with a nice open feel. Overall, a great experience with just one small miss.

I know it's busier and Friday night but geez, the table we sat at or the chairs we sat on were dirty like covered in some kind of sauce. It got on my jacket and my girlfriend's clothes, no sincere apology they just switched a chair but didn't look like they cleaned it. Had to wait until the end of dinner for part of our order even if we politely asked 3 different workers if we're going to get the rest of our food. This is after 3 other tables got all of their food before we did and were seated after us. Guess if we ever come back here we need to be early or just lunch time. Also, don't get the hibachi beef, it's mostly stir fried vegetables on top of rice with some tossed salad on half the plate. Doesn't taste that good either, but the fried calamari was delicious and served with fries. The gumbo soup was ok but I think I'll just stick with the seafood boil or fried appetizers. They do open up the back dining area when it's busy.

More than enough food for 4 hungry people. They split the salmon perfectly into 2 plates. The crab cakes were fantastic, and the trout was perfect. They have bottled beer, so we got a few before the meal. Everything was so well timed. Definately stop by when in Fort Worth. They were able to get us in for a 6pm seating on a busy Saturday night.

As someone from Lake Charles, Louisiana, I don't hype Cajun food unless it's legit and this place…read moreis the real deal! It's exactly all the things you love about Cajun culture and food. The crawfish had that perfect boil flavor with just the right amount of spice. Gumbo was rich, hearty, and full of flavor. Had to get me a link of smoked boudin and it stood out. It had a nice spicy kick and was packed with the best smokey flavor in every bite. Got me a meat pie and it was exactly what you hope for. Nice and crispy on the outside, savory and satisfying inside. It's a super casual spot with a great indoor area and a solid patio, perfect for just hanging out and enjoying good food. Honestly, it's hard to find Cajun food like this outside of Louisiana, but they did it right. Made me feel right at home!

Definitely peak at the menu ahead of time or you'll be looking up at the menu at the counter while you decide. Never liked that concept but we would only go for the crawfish . 3 stars because the girl at the counter wasn't so friendly when we asked if they had crawfish and seemed perturbed that we didn't want to stay and order something else. May upgrade the rating after we try the crawfish. The outside patio was still a work in progress but looks like it will be pretty nice.
