    Great outdoor seating
    Dennis T.

    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.

    Shrimp and scallops

    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.

    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

    "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.

    Seafood platter

    Wait staff were very friendly and efficient. My waitress gave me a great suggestion on how to prepare the various items on my platter, the fish, shrimp and oysters were prepared expertly! The restaurant was well lighted and clean. I would recommend this place for a nice evening out as well as a great way to end a long workday!!

    Alright, my wife and I decided to go out for a spontaneous date night. This is only the second time…read morewe've been to Saltgrass, and it was definitely a better experience this time around. Our server was Melissa, and she was a rockstar. I am not particularly fond of servers that hover, and don't want to be neglected either. Melissa was super personable, and was able to just give us the space and time we needed. It is rare to find a server that is running to and fro in the manner Melissa was while still giving the appropriate attention to their guests. Our drinks stayed tended to, our table was never cluttered with dishes, and we never had to ask for anything or remind her of something. Despite seeing Melissa handling other guests (including a group of fourteen high school basketball players and three coaches), it always felt like we were a priority. Melissa answered questions earnestly and was light-hearted and entertaining from start to finish. Oh! The food was good as well. My wife got the center cut filet, medium well, the smoked macaroni and cheese, plus a salad. The meat was cooked accordingly and the Mac and cheese was as expected, hot and cheesy. The salads were good, simple side salad, not overly complicated. I got the shrimp and artichoke pasta, which was filling and well balanced. The appetizer was quick to arrive and was hot and wonderful (fried cheese) and the cheesecake was delicious at the end of the meal. Melissa killed it and was an awesome server to have.

    Good location and service was acceptable. Nice atmosphere a bit loud.

The staff are always friendly and the food here is amazing!! We came back last Friday to celebrate my birthday. I was so happy to find out that they now take reservations using the Open Table app. It was super easy to use and I booked my reservation a few weeks prior to getting into Waco. We were greeted by the friendly hostess who seated us promptly since we had reservations. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and my husband ordered the farm breakfast. We ordered the kids breakfast for our 3 year old which came with pancakes, scrambled eggs and bacon. We also ordered a side of biscuits with strawberry jam. We got our food hot and made fresh to order. The croissant sandwich was filling and delicious. The croissant was super fluffy and light. Everything was perfect!!! Our son told us that he loved his pancakes. Our waiter came by frequently to check on us and make sure everything was made to our liking. 10/10 recommend for their high quality service and food. We will be sure to continue to keep coming back again and again whenever we're in Waco.

There are lots of tables and the atmosphere is open and welcoming. After my meal I went to the take away area and got the lemon lavender donut holes to take home to the husband.
