    Scallop

    Nice atmosphere good food. Loved the dip and mocktail. The service was also pleasant. However the rice & beans was on the saltier side.

    Great outdoor seating

    Back in Waco this past weekend with the boys. Went to Fish City Grill for lunch. The weather was beautiful so we decided to sit outside for lunch. As you can see very nice outdoor seating, with nice view. Was greeted by Kailah, she was very attentive and friendly. My wife and I split the Sea Bass, was large entree to share. Served with potatoes and green beans that were seasoned and cooked nicely. Kyle had the lobster and shrimp cheese grits, surprisingly very tasty. Has a great experience, would totally recommend if you are looking for good seafood.

    Combo with broccolini and spinach

    We were served at the bar by Jose. He was so friendly and helpful. He stayed busy behind the bar and kept up conversations with several diners while providing excellent service When he found out this was our first visit he provided us home made potato chip with smoked trout. It was the perfect start. I ordered the half order of catfish. The fish was huge. It was perfectly fried with a nice crunch My hubby ordered the combo plate with cod and shrimp. He subbed wilted spinach and broccolini for the sides He was a fan of the fish and shrimp. The spinach was really tasty We finished with an in house made bread pudding with a whiskey pecan sauce. It was the best I ever tasted

    Shrimp and scallops
    Garret F.

    Overall we enjoyed our meal. Nothing special and nothing bad. Service was attentive and helpful. Scallops were cooked perfect, shrimp was a little salty and overdone. Crab cake was tasty. I wasn't a fan of the plastic ramekins for the price we paid and it didn't do justice for your attempt plate nicely.

    "Nomijto" or a non-alcoholic mojito.

    Haven't been to this location before. We really like Fish City and this location did not disappoint. Clean, quality service and quality food. For the first time ever, I tried a non-fish dish and went with their roast beef. It was excellent. Just like Grandma used to make. Amazing thin onion rings on top of a large portion of fork tender roast with mashed potatoes and a few carrots. Amazing flavor and portion. My wife had the seared ahi tuna tacos. They were cooked perfectly with a nice citrus flavor and came why Cuban beans and rice (think dirty rice). Service by Ty was excellent. I highly recommend this location. The non-alcohol mojito was excellent and the golden margarita was amazing with a slight hint of orange.

    Wow what a great discovery. Plenty of choices on the menu and I wasn't sure if I should get the gumbo or the New England clam chowder and a waitress offered me a sample of both being in Texas. I normally would go for the gumbo, but the New England clam chowder tasted really great. I then had the grilled oysters which were very tasty and ended the evening with a really large serving of a Caesar salad I plan to go the next time. I'm back in town.

    Amazing sandwich, amazing service, and a fun vibe. I'll be the first to say I'm not a seafood fan and only came here for my family. Often I find land food always tastes disgusting at mainly seafood type restaurants but my expectations were blown away. I had the most delicious chicken sandwich with pesto aoli. I was so happy with my land food in a group of seafood eaters.

    Fish & Chips

    First time here and walked into a very peaceful and upbeat restaurant. Fish and chips were excellent and flavorful. Wait staff were very friendly and helpful since this was my first time here. They have very large chalkboard menu that is their daily special so make sure to check that out before ordering from the restaurant menu.

    We have been here twice before & it was good! Today we had a Christmas gift card and chose to use it for this restaurant. From the server to the food it was not good. The outside patio is nice to look at the water. But I had crab and potato and corn on my mind & my hubby had scallops. His was good. I got my crab but had to keep asking for the potatoes. The server finally brought them & it was 2 tiny red potatoes drenched in butter. Then she proceeded to tell me they had no corn. I was very disappointed that I was not told until after I got my crab with zero side dishes for about 15 minutes. Then I got some zucchini and carrots again drenched butter. I still got zero sides because I couldn't eat them. The crab was just ok. The server was friendly but did not do what she should've done as a server. The manager apologized. But I'm just unhappy and won't be back unfortunately.

Served with a perfect burrata with green pesto that was most divine- fresh as can be. Mocktails are always my choice and there's a blackberry mocktail made fresh intensely flavored berries that's a wow. So being from Oklahoma my favorite meal is fried chicken and mashed potatoes. We split a plate and we were not sorry. The perfect little chicken gravy pitcher- piping hot- w a generous helping of sauce served two easily. For desert there's an extensive selection ( including strawberry shortcake) but we opted for just plain latte made impeccably. Congratulations. You've really made America's best restaurant imo! We loved it. Coming from NYC we are spoiled for great food. But you have a 5 star accomplishment in this place. Perfectly wonderful. A million thanks-- what a memorable meal!

Our server was ok it really was the food that left a bad taste for me. I started with the signature cocktail a lavender lemon drop Martini only to have the server tell me they don't have all the ingredients to make one of their signature seasonal cocktail drinks. Appetizers we had the burrata which was probably the best thing I ate. My guest ordered the Bavette steak frites with Mac n cheese and I ordered the crispy chicken plate. Their fryer went down and we're not able to make the crispy chicken plate so I settled for their burger. My guest received her steak first and tried cutting into it. It was dry, rubbery and chewy. I had to wait 10 minutes for my burger to show up and when I received it the burger was dry overly salty and hard to eat. My fries were also overly seasoned and hard to enjoy. Definitely one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a while. On top of that they locked the gift shop door so you had to walk around to the front entrance if you were shopping in the gift shop. Service is a 3, food is 1 and experience a 1. 1 star

We were greeted as soon as we walked in and directed to choose a table of our preference. The waitress quickly came over and grabbed our drink order while we looked at the menu. We placed our order and the waitress was very knowledgeable and able to answer our questions. She also informed us they work as a team so we can stop anyone when/if we need something. We started with the "Burning Bush" appetizer (crispy Brussel sprouts w/ lemon garlic aioli). YUM! They had just the right bite to them, and the glaze on them paired with the aioli was delicious! For our entrees we had the Golden Calf Burger w/ sweet potato fries and sriracha aioli and The Weight of Glory Sandwich w/ broccoli slaw. They were both incredibly flavorful and fresh! You can tell they locally source their ingredients and prepare them onsite. The portions are also plentiful, and we left with a takeout box. To round off lunch we tried the special mousse on the specials board (coffee flavored cheesecake mousse). It was so delightful we dug in before I could snap a pic. Just enough coffee flavor paired with chocolate sauce (not hersheys ). The big windows allow for a lot of natural light and lends to a welcoming and warm environment. We will for sure be back and bring others!

I reviewed BBD a year ago for the first time after their initial opening and gave them high marks. Like so many places, though, BBD has not maintained the quality of their grand opening. My wife's broccoli and cheese soup was obviously a mix with very little broccoli, very little cheese, and bland. The tomatoes on my house salad were bad probably old. The corn muffins we received were cold and dense and probably straight from the cooler. Our waitress brought our food then didn't come back until we flagged her down to get our check. She was covering about 5 tables and spent most of her time in the kitchen. A runner brought our food out. It seems that Black Bear is going through that inevitable drop in quality that comes with an inability to sustain continuity in their kitchen and wait staff. Hopefully they will work through this problem and return to the quality we are have come to expect over the last year.

The potatoes had no taste to them & the meatloaf used to be alittle more seasoned with great flavor. The food came fast. Asked the server about the salad & corn bread and apparently now you have to request what what you are already paying for. I usually always request the salad in a togo box at order for lunch the next day, but was distracted was my granddaughter was with us. Service was good.

Thankfully, this place is absolutely worth the wait! The restaurant was bustling and busy but still had a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere. The menu was extensive with tons of tempting breakfast options, the prices were very reasonable to me, and the service was excellent from start to finish.
