Pulled up to a parking lot in Bishop Arts District which is a good thing in that neighborhood because parking is a beast. I arrived before my group so I could not get a seat started. I waited in the car for 30min for my group to arrive. Once they did, we were seated. There staff were nice and gave us menus while we waited and we took photos in their entrance with the bush wall with angel wings. Once seated inside near the patio, we placed our order. We took note of the mandatory 18% gratuity on all groups of 5 or more at the top of the menus. Our waitress seemed new and had not tried much so she couldn't make recommendations. Our drinks came out first and the food in an appropriate time after. like I said, the drinks and food were delicious and the star of the show! The DJ played good music and definitely had us engaged. The building was up to code but gave me historic vibes were they didn't want to or can't make full renovations but it's a bar/grill and looks like a man decorated and not an interior designer. Fun place, clean, but also needs a professional cleaner to come in once a month to spruce up the place.

Security needs to be more vigilant to what's going on.

The staff was very friendly and sat us quickly. Being from Louisiana we settled on blackened catfish over rice for my wife and fried catfish and fried shrimp for me. Hers came out with 2 big filets, big enough for 2 people to eat. Mine came with one large fried filet. I blacken catfish all the time at home and they did a pretty good job. Seasoning and flavor was great on both, and the meat seemed to be real channel catfish not the cheaper swai catfish most restaurants used. I asked my waitress if it was local Texas meat or imported, she said that it was imported. The dining area was pretty basic but well kept and clean. Over all we were very glad we gave it a try, I can't speak on the crab or other boiled seafood but it looked like the kind the boil in a bag and bring it out covered in a butter sauce. I'm not a big fan of that method, it looks cheap and is too messy. But if your looked for great catfish they have it down!

Phatt's Cajun Seafood & Daiquiri Bar had me wanting to love it, especially because I'm always down…read morefor a good seafood spot with Cajun flavors. Unfortunately, this visit was more "it could've been better" than "I need to come back." THE VIBE Walking in, the first thing you'll notice is the music. Music is definitely part of the atmosphere at establishments like this, especially during the daytime, but it was a little too loud for the space. We actually had trouble hearing our waitress from across the bar, which made ordering more difficult than it needed to be. The restaurant itself was clean, but staffing seemed to be a major issue. Our waitress was essentially the entire front of house operation greeting guests, taking orders, preparing drinks, serving customers, and handling checks. That's a LOT for one person, and it showed. Our food took a while to come out, and getting checked out at the end took some patience as well. Because she was handling so much on her own, tables that needed to be wiped down were left waiting. RESTROOM CHECK The ladies' restroom definitely needs some attention. There was only one stall, and unfortunately, the toilet was backed up. Since there wasn't another stall available, I had no choice but to use it. Definitely not the most pleasant part of the visit. My family ordered several things so we could get a good feel for the menu: Catfish Basket The catfish was fried way too hard for my liking and was lacking the seasoning I was expecting from a Cajun seafood spot. I wanted more flavor and that signature Cajun kick. Lemon Pepper Wings Basket These tasted more like regular fried chicken wings than lemon pepper wings. The lemon pepper seasoning was barely noticeable. The fries were also soggy and lacking flavor. Shrimp Po'Boy + Fried Okra This was probably my biggest disappointment. A po'boy should traditionally been served on French bread, but this came on a much smaller bun similar to a hotdog bun. Because of that, the toppings were constantly trying to escape the sandwich. The shrimp was overcooked, dry, and tough, which really took away from the sandwich. I had to bring in some reinforcements with the hot sauce and homemade tartar sauce just to make it more enjoyable. The pricing was pretty average for a seafood restaurant, so I didn't feel like we were overcharged. One thing I did appreciate: there was no automatic 18% gratuity added to the bill. Given the service during our visit, I appreciated having the opportunity to decide what I felt was appropriate. I think Phatt's has the foundation to be a really good neighborhood seafood spot. The concept is there, the restaurant was clean, and the prices were reasonable. But this visit felt like the seasoning, preparation, staffing, and overall attention to detail were missing.

I was craving a seafood boil recently, and ever since my partner and I moved in the central Dallas area, we found Sunset Crab shack and quickly made it our go to for seafood boil! The service is always so nice and even on the busiest of days, we have never had to wait for a table! The vibe is quaint, and definitely fits in the vibe of the local Bishop arts area as itself is a old house turned restaurant! It's also become really known for it's back patio where they host bands and djs! This time I ordered their Friday special which is a 1/2 pound of snow crab, 1/2 pound of shrimp, a corn, potato, and sausage all for $27! The reason I always find myself coming back is because of their sunset sauce! I have had a few places in Dallas and this sauce is just so good! I also order the spice flavor diablo, and I feel like they are the only place that really does not hold back with spice, which I LOVE! My boyfriend opted for a buffalo sandwich and he loved it! Safe to say we both left very satisfied!

Catfish and grits were delicious but only had ONE piece of catfish. Chicken and waffle had three wing pieces, NOT three pieces of chicken. We waited a long time for the apps and our entrees. It was very disappointing because no one eats before brunch and everyone was so hungry. We were celebrating a birthday and there were no add ons, just a happy birthday from our sweet server. Our server recommended the hurricane and it was perfection. Only needed one. Would I return, yes for the food but I'll eat before hand. I'd you want a vegetable you are out of luck! Oh wait, I forgot a big thing. They had the nerve to charge these high prices and bring out plastic flatware in a plastic cellophane package. It's like we were at fast food. I probably should mention the styrofoam bowls, but I'll keep that to myself. BTW the music is great. Well it was until the skinny guy turned it up so high we couldn't hear each other. One more thing...I tried to call back and ask what the service fee was that appeared on our check. No one answered. Gratuity is okay. If anyone knows tell me.

The bartender went to speak with the kitchen and they stood on "it's oxtails" LOL. As a person who grew up eating corned beef I know what it taste like lol even the girl sitting next me to said "it even looks like corned beef" but whatever it was still good but be honest about what you're serving. The jerk lamb chops were good and spicy. The Mac could have been more seasoned and the yams were okay. My friend had the broccoli and wings and she couldn't get through the wings because she felts they were too big. Their fries are really good. I would suggest Izkina for happy hour.

I ordered the Bourbon Street pasta and when I tell you the portion shocked me it was HUGE. Loaded with Cajun shrimp, spicy sausage, and the most tender chicken... I was in heaven. Sweating a little? Yes. Regretting it? Not even a little. Every single bite hit. And let's talk about the hush puppies... they were shaped like little cylinders, which threw me off for a second, but LISTEN: they were FIRE. Like, don't even question it, just order them. I also got a 24 oz daiquiri called the "Side Piece" and the name alone had me crying laughing but it was GOOD good. The music was jumping, the vibe was everything, and the energy in there just felt right. But what really made the experience stand out was the service. D took care of me the whole time! She helped me pick exactly what I needed, made my drink perfectly, and kept checking in to make sure I was good. That kind of attention does not go unnoticed. She deserves all the love. I'm honestly mad at myself for walking past this place for a whole month before coming in. The food? Amazing. The atmosphere? On point. The service? Top tier. Oh and I had leftovers AND they let you take your drink to go? Yeah... this is officially my kind of spot.
