Fish City is our all time favorite restaurant both for ourselves and for visiting family and friends. It doesn't matter what we order, the food is always fresh and delicious. The staff is top notch. They open the door for all guests coming and going and make you feel most welcome. The wait staff are friendly and knowledgeable and look sharp in their matching plaid buttoned shirts. I order salmon at most restaurants we frequent and Fish City salmon quality and taste is far above other offerings. The prices are very reasonable and stay below competitor prices. You just can't beat the quality and value at Lake Highlands Fish City. read more

Had the mermaid oysters, their shell is very delicate. I got shell in every oyster so proceeded to scoop out and forgo the brine. Probably wouldnt get these oysters again but would get others instead Jalapeno soup a bit watery in texture but great flavor. They have great happy hour deals all oysters $2 when I came which was awesome read more

Fish City Grill - Jalapeno soup - Seafood Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I've been coming to this location for many years. It's always consistent and delicious. The happy hour is always enticing and the daily specials keep me coming back to the website to see what's in today. The service is attentive and present when needed. The oysters are always shucked well. The ambiance is relaxed and approachable no matter where you are in your day. I've come in before in a bad mood and always leave feeling lifted. My only complaint is one time when I ordered a body mary, it was served with a shrimp that was spoiled. They keep them in the bar area so I just shrugged it off as one off, but I'm still hesitant to order that one again. I hate how much that sticks with me given all the great times I've had. I'll keep coming back and maybe give the drink another try, but that gold margarita is so solid it's hard to resist. read more

Swung by for a quick dinner in the neighborhood. Sat out on the patio which had plenty of seating and was a nice open area. I ordered the spicy crawfish tacos and they were great. Good quality crawfish, pickled jalapeños on top, and it came served with black beans and rice. Plenty of different fish options, grilled, blackened and fried. Good beer and cocktail selection as well. Service was great. read more

Fish City Grill - Spicy Crawfish Tacos - Seafood Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Going to totally own it; tonight's loss was on us. We didn't pay close attention, giddy as I was at the free (always DELICIOUS) crab cake! A birthday favor from FCG. The bartender steered us toward a $39 bottle of wine, saying we would come out better if we planned on having a couple glasses each. Sorry (joke was on us), at 1/2 price Happy Hour, $10 a glass reduced to $5 x four = $20. So our bottle cost us almost $20 more. So much for the benefits of a birthday gift, but shame on her. (!) Lesson learned; a year wiser I guess. read more

I experienced an excellent meal and had excellent service. Joel was an exceptional wait person. Full of enthusiasm, great energy, he presented as if I was a regular. I really believed he took a personal interest in helping me achieve a stellar experience. His knowledge of Menu, special requests, gluten and dairy free options/ slash modifications etc. was spot on. The food was excellent. I will become a regular. read more

Ate here based on YELP reviews. All four meals were excellent. One of the daily specials was the havarti mac-n-cheese....outstanding. I can see why people like this place so much. If we lived closer, it would definitely be in our regular rotation. read more

We've been to this Fish City several times. Always good service and good food. We went with friends this time. We shared the shrimp queso dip. Yummy! I had a Bloody Mary, oysters and the ahi tuna special and it was soooo good. Hubby had the Serafin's Tacos. You should definitely share this one with someone. It's 2 large rolled tacos! Super good. Our friends got a Mahi Mahi special and the ahi tuna special. Both very good. We went on a Friday night and it was not very busy the whole time we were there. Give it a try! I think you'll like it! read more

Came in for lunch & ordered the cheese & salmon ravioli & I had the salmon. The ravioli was a little bland. Salmon was really good. Drink prices were good with or without happy hour. Good lunch special, clean & welcoming. The bartender was amazing, I can't remember his name. Would definitely be back read more

Service was good. Ambiance was decent. I ordered the Fishwich, which is a beer battered cod sandwich. The cod was either spoiled or cooked wrong but it ended up being so tough my knife could barely cut through it. They did apologize but I most definitely will not be back. read more

I haven't had this great of food in forever. As soon as you walked in they greet and seat you. I love that they have a menu as well as a wall of specials. Everything was so good! I had the marshmallow espresso martini which tasted amazing! I would order that by itself every time! Also it was our first time, so they let us sample all the soups. They have the best food and drinks here! My mom also loved her food. Can't wait to come back! read more

The food here was absolutely delicious! My fish was cooked perfectly, and my shrimp was a tad overcooked but still yummy! The flavor on everything was perfect as well. The service was good and surprisingly quick. It has a nice atmosphere, nothing too notable but it's a nice place for a seafood dinner. read more

Fish City Grill - Blackened redfish with shrimp, crab butter, creamy parmesan rice, and green beans - Seafood Near Me - Dallas, Texas

One of my favorite places to eat! I love raw oysters and they have their own brand "Mermaid ". Very good actually. Oyster nachos are not great, order something else. Fried catfish is great! Oh and the bisque has to tried. It is the BEST! Service is #1. Happy people. Ambience is normal, lots of people concentrating on the delicious food. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Service was great. We were seated quickly, waitstaff was attentive and food was great.

Food good. Server good. Really disappointed that they are not serving fried pickles anymore.

Very good seafood. I usually get Blackened Catfish on a bed of rice. Love their Apple Cider Coleslaw. I tried their Fishwich, a Fried Cod sandwich with lettuce. It is excellent and the bun is so soft. read more

Fish City Grill - Fishwich with Fries - Seafood Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The calamari was amazing, not over breaded or over seasoned. We enjoyed everything we tried, and the staff was friendly as well.

We decided on the Oyster Nacho starter and what an absolute treat these are, a perfectly fried oyster served on top of a tortilla with a chipotle sauce topped with pico de gallo and these are best enjoyed with a drizzle of Cajun Chef hot sauce. Between the strong crunch of the tortilla chip, the lightly crisp exterior of the oyster and its velvety center topped with the brightness of fresh pico, not to mention the light smokey chipotle sauce, I could easily enjoy a double order with a good hurricane!! One of the chef's specials for the evening was an Herb Crusted Cod Oscar, topped with lump crab meat, hollandaise sauce and grilled asparagus on top of a bed of white rice. The cod was perfectly cooked having a light, buttery flavor and the herbed crust on the outside was delicately seasoned and did not overwhelm the natural flavor of the fish itself. The Hollandaise sauce was lovely however the asparagus was blanched a little too long before being grilled so it was a bit limp and not as bright green and crisp tender as I prefer but that would be my only critique. My husband was really impressed with the blackened shrimp Po Boy as the shrimp was well cooked and not over seasoned or salty. I was able to enjoy a couple of his shrimp that managed to fall out of his sandwich and they were seriously delicious. read more

I love this place! This establishment is pretty awesome they are consistent with their food! I been coming here for 5 or 6 years it's always a safe healthy options. The server here are amazing the recognize us and treat us with kindness. And the place is always clean and smells delicious. Its always my first option. And they're salad bomb !! I'm sure everyone already know!! But I wanted to give them a sl a shout out!! read more

Entrees cost about $30, food is usually good BUT the atmosphere at the patio is pitiful. For that kind of price of food one should have cloth napkins, place should look nicer, the chairs at the patio do not match, no plants , atmosphere is zero. Please you can do better. read more

Food was great, Cocktails, too! The best of all was our waiter Joel B. He was friendly and super friendly. He was very knowledgeable, something the staff always is at this location. The fish was fresh and some of the best fish tacos we've had. read more

Fish City Grill - Spicy fish tacos with sweet potatoes fries. Yummy! - Seafood Near Me - Dallas, Texas

A typical, fresh seafood establishment located in an elevated strip mall with rotating specials and a solid regular menu offerings. As of early December 2022, wait staff was pretty green; manager often overseeing and checking on quality of service with customers. OYSTERS - The waiter stopped by with my six, happy hour oysters ($2.50 each), "You hit the jackpot!" My friend and I looked down to see oysters the size of a cow tongue staring back up. I immediately sent 'em back and asked for the smallest (I typically shoot for the size of a mandarin orange) they had. The ones they brought were still large, but I was not going to choke on their way down. CHOWDER - Exactly what you'd expect; no stand out components. REDFISH - I ordered the special, Blacked Redfish with Blue Cheese Butter (see picture), served on mashed potatoes and pan fried asparagus. Again, nothing outstanding, but it was a solid offering. read more

We decided to try this restaurant and were not disappointed. We got fried catfish and shrimp with the basmati rice and risotto, shrimp and chicken pasta, and blackened trout. The catfish/ shrimp and pasta dishes were excellent. We were a bit disappointed by the trout. It was delicious, but definitely not blackened. It was just grilled trout. We will definitely be back to try other dishes and maybe do the blackened trout again. read more

Fish City a.k.a. Half Shells has been my goto local seafood chain from the get go . This location has mostly been consistent in quality and flavor. Service is good. Prices are upper mid but if you skip drinks and apps etc. It's not over the top comparatively. Pro tip: happy hour cheeseburger. Medium rare. Shrimp (oyster ) nachos were unique. The base is crispy flour tortillas instead of corn. Which gives it a deconstructed empanada vibe. There's a cajun theme to the menu. Blackened options, gumbo, crab cakes etc. but it's not trying to be a cajun restaurant. There's HH specials. Though it's too far from the coast to get fresh dish at this price point. I assume other than oysters, Crawfish (boil) and an occasional special, most of the seafood comes frozen. Not a knock. means I don't like oysters. So. I understand that I can't speak to the taste or quality of the oysters. But they do pride themselves on them. What else? Pro tip #2. If you sit on the west side of the bar, you are almost guaranteed to NOT be hit by a car. The odds would be incredible to happen again. The area is nice. Patio small but not horrible unless it's 4-6pm if you're sitting in the west side. Damn. What's up with the west side? Anyhoo. Pro tip #3 the Cole slaw sucks. (Vinegar based, no fat or flavor).sub for anything else. My standby when I can't decide. 2 choice meal. Shrimp and catfish both blackened, garlic sautéed spinach and ether mashed potatoes or if they have the season coated fries... yes. Soggy waffle fries... no thanks, get the mashed potatoes. Also kudos to the owners about allowing us to have our son join us eating at the bar. It seems some people think it's weird or whatever. This is a family restaurant. If we want to sit at the bar then why can't our son join us. I'm so happy and grateful that the high ups deemed it unfriendly to deny us for some weird ill described reasons. Seems not all places are as family friendly. Like Shady's recently. Another local place we used to go sit as a family at the bar. But alas. Their management thinks there's a weird invisible buffer around the bar, the centerpiece of a restaurant, is forbidden to families. Weird. Thank you Fish City for being family forward. We will continue to support you. read more

This used to be my "go to" for seafood. Loved the fish tacos but today's lunch was a big disappointment. I took a friend to lunch and we shared an order of fish tacos. I'm not sure they deveined it and that gives it a fishy taste. There wasn't enough fish there to be considered a fish taco. I think IF I go back I will ask for their hamburger. I didn't want to send it back but I could tell my friend wasn't impressed either. I know places are trying to cut cost because everything is more expensive but a $50 lunch should get you a decent meal.....don't ya think? read more

Great visit Wednesday July 26 early evening for a lovely dinner and martinis. Lovely server, just the best and going blank on her name, apologies. All service and chefs/cooks wonderful.

Fish City Grill - Damn Good Bacon Cheeseburger, fries (yummy) and a twisted citrus martini!! - Seafood Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Exceeded all expectations. We stopped by on a whim and were pleasantly surprised. I thought it would be super average as it is a chain and they have dozens of locations. Boy was I wrong. One of the best seafood spots I've been to in Dallas! Our service was also outstanding. Paul took great care of us on the patio. I also loved that the patio had these little cooling machines. Seemed like a combo of an air conditioner and a fan. We had the fresh oysters, chargrill oysters, spicy shrimp, a burger, and a few drinks. The food was all delicious but I think the chargrilled oysters were just average. Everything else was delicious. Their cocktails are all craft cocktails standards. The gin gimlet was perfect but a little on the sweet side. We asked for the second round to be made with a lighter hand on the simple syrup and that fixed it. The service was also outstanding. Staff was constantly clearing plates and refilling drinks. Overall a great spot with tasty happy hour specials! Family friendly patio and something for everyone. read more
