What a fantastic dining experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was warm, attentive, and welcoming. We ordered the Date Night Special, which included two entrees of our choice. We chose perfectly cooked flounder and grilled shrimp, served with a fresh salad, seasoned vegetables, and potatoes. We also enjoyed the appetizer of the day--creamy spinach artichoke dip--which was a great way to start the meal. To top it all off, we shared a slice of rich, delicious Tres Leches cake for dessert. Every bite was wonderful! We can't wait to come back and highly recommend this spot for a great meal and excellent service!

Seafood Pasta: Angel hair w crawfish, crab meant, scallops and shrimp. Light creamy base
Kelly C.

Locally family own restaurant with a casual dining ambience. Open and airy environment with about 20-25 tables which can seat 1-8 people depending the table configuration. Came on a Friday night around 7 and it was busy but we were able to be seated. Stayed for about 1 1/2 hours and the place was steady. 4.75 Stars - Staff ( believed all family members) were friendly, professional, and efficient. The chefs kept the food coming out and the servers and helpers made sure your drinks and food was served in a timely manner. Food: 3.75 - 4.25 Stars Appetizer - 3.75 Stars : Fried Green Tomatoes topped Flaky Crab Meat in a light creamy sauce. The creamy sauce was too thin. Needed a roux or cornstarch to slightly thicken it up. There are four small - medium sized green tomatoes as the foundation for the crab meat w kinda' Cajun creamy sauce which gave the tomatoes a sweeter taste. The tomatoes were slightly acidic being "green tomatoes". Definitely needed a little bit of black pepper and salt. The creamy base was okay. Just needed some more seasoning and to be thicker. Entree's: 3.75 Stars - Seafood Pasta. An Angel hair dish served with crawfish, two scallops, four shrimps and crabmeat in a light Cajun seasoning creamy sauce. A healthy portion of the pasta and seafood. HOWEVER, the dish could have been soooo much more tasty. Lightly seasoned with Cajun spices and a hint of garlic. Salt and pepper was definitely needed to enhance the flavor. Dish has the potential to be really good. 4.25 Stars - Grilled Shrimp and Scallops w fried potatoes and sautéed veggies. Both the shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly; tender and soft. You can cut the items with a spoon. Especially the scallops; they were buttery in taste and were wonderfully seared. The seasoned on the shrimp and scallops had enough heat to tell you, "Hey, taste me cuz you will like what I bring"! Only thing missing was some acid and tart from a lemon or lime. None were accompanied with the dish. My wife added a lemon from her water. Server didn't asked or presented any lemons for the dish. Dessert: Tres Leches 4 Stars it was sweet, savory and the sponge cake was light and airy. The whipped cream with the chocolate drizzle and sweetened milk was wonderful. Definitely needed an espresso or cappuccino which they don't serve. Overall: we will be back to taste other menu options. Also, they have Couple Date menu for $35 (Mon-Wed) and a $75 ((Thurs-Saturday) special where the couple will get ONE Appetizer, TWO Entrees and a ONE Dessert to share. I believe that is a Pretty good deal!

Filet scampi

This is a family owned and operated business. They are all so kind and gracious. Prepare to be there a while, but it's worth the wait. Get your tres leche cake when you sit down because they run out on the weekends. The pasta dishes were delicious and my filet was very tasty, cooked MR and tender. The seafood tastes fresh. The house made poppy seed salad dressing is great! The fried green tomato app is ridiculously good. The spinach artichoke dip is good but did not bowl us over. The sauces aren't as thick as you would imagine a cream sauce to be but the taste is spectacular. My husband and I had the dinner special for 2 and it's a really good deal with great menu choices.

went for an extended family dinner and ordered a variety of items but not as many as we would have liked. they only had ingredients to complete two of the appetizers listed on the menu. although that was disappointing we ordered the crab and the fried green tomatoes that were available. both were just okay as was the overall consensus of the group. food presentation was ok but sides such as vegetables seemed to be overcooked and previously frozen . the interior of the restaurant is geared more for family dining with bright lighting and tables. one positive was the couples special offered on the rear of the menu.

Steak vegetable potatoes

I never miss my chance to eat here once or twice a year when I travel to Flowood. They remember me every time and all the food is amazing. I will always stop here every chance I can come to town.

Blackened redfish sandwich lunch special
Dawn M.

First time visit to Eslava's Grille. I saw they had a redfish sandwich as the lunch special and knew I needed to make my way for a visit. I got there at 11:15 and if I had been 5 minutes later, I would be waiting on a table. My server Magda greeted me quickly and I placed my drink and food order. She was super nice. Checked on me here and there while handling all of her other tables. Food did not take too long and was hot when it hit the table. I was glad they gave me the salad ahead of time so I could enjoy it without worrying if my fish was getting cold. I loved the raspberry poppy salad dressing. I would order an entree salad if I could have a whole bottle of that. I didn't think the potatoes would be good as they looked plain, but they were lightly salted and actually tasted really good. The fish was very good. The bun was slight toasted just a bit more than I would have liked but it was not a deal breaker. I really enjoyed the whole thing. At $10 for an entree, salad and side of potatoes, this was a very good trip. From food to service, it was definitely worth the drive down Lakeland to dine here.

Redfish with shrimp.

See all

Great food, great service. Wait times are not a problem here. The date night deals Mon-Wed keep a loyal following.

The food was great and so was the service. The place is not big so it's a little tight inside.
