This would have gotten 5 stars because the waitstaff took our appetizer to a different table. Other than that, had the Mahi Mahi tacos and they were good, my son had them too and ate everything on his plate. We sat outside by the boats and water, wonderful view! read more

My first and LAST experience at Fosh House was less appetizing than a meal at Red Lobster. I had salmon and fries and the best part of my meal was the club soda. The fries were over cooked to the point that the inside was dried out. The menu said lemon pepper fries but there was no salt no lemon and no pepper on them. The waitresses did bring me a cup of lemon pepper seasoning but because the fries were so dry the seasoning didn't stick to them it just fell into the plate. The salmon was cooked correctly in terms of temperature however there was ZERO seasoning on it. It was just a cooked piece of salmon. I wouldn't recommend unless you like tasteless dry food. read more

First, they got rid of our favorite Blue Shark draft cocktail a couple months ago ( as well as Blue Shark vodka all together). Then tonight we went for my husband's 40th birthday- specifically for the peel and eat shrimp which is what we always get. Apparently they just took them off the menu. Their peel and eat shrimp were the best in town so pretty sad about this. Let us know if you get them back! read more

Fish house is our go to spot. I normally absolutely love their blackened shrimp tacos but it seemed like this time they skimped on the blackening seasoning so they didn't have much of a flavor. The shrimp was barely warm. Our server was absolutely amazing. Of course the views always beautiful. But the main thing we come there for is the food. read more

Was told there was a 25 minute wait....sat in the cold for close to 50 minutes. Finally got sat after we decided to switch out seating to outside. Waited another 20 minutes for someone to come to our table. Foods great, not so much on the service side. Update: Our server, Rylie, Very nice and attentive. Unfortunately she was not aware we had been sat. read more

Fish House Grill was recommended by some friends of ours. 6 of us had dinner around 8pm on a Tuesday. I think they had closed the inside so we sat outside on the deck near the door to the restaurant. Service was fine and the food was good. I had the blackened salmon over penne a la vodka special. The salmon was good and the pasta was ok. The kids enjoyed the chicken strips. After being seated, we noticed a cockroach in the corner...then another...and another. A little off-putting and the kids were freaking out. Obviously, the weather is perfect for roaches, so we assumed this was the status quo. A little concerning as they were so close to the door to the kitchen. Its hard not to wonder if they are outside, are they also inside? Upon leaving, there were dozens of roaches all over the patio, on the walls, etc. There was a roach on our car door. I see some other reviews that mentioned seeing roaches inside as well. It may be common because of the weather and the area, but I don't think we'll be back because of it. read more

I didn't have quite as great of a visit today as I have had in the past. The view is fantastic and the service was great- it was just the taste of the mahi tacos weren't good. I did eat them all and the picture I took for some reason didn't take. They just weren't 5 star tacos like they were before. My friend ordered the grown up grilled cheese with fries. There were so many fries and they had a strange taste. Also, I am a bird person but for people who don't like birds - beware! They are everywhere! At your table, on the railings, just everywhere read more

I took my wife to Wilmington for a quick weekend trip, and we were excited to indulge in seafood before heading home. Our friend recommended Fish House Grill, although it didn't rank as high in the Yelp ratings for seafood restaurants as other options. My wife and I both decided to order the apple walnut salad. She got hers with a blackened salmon, mine with blackened shrimp. I was especially impressed with Danny, our server, who answered our questions and was spot on regarding the seasoning level on her salmon. I also ordered the fried calamari with light seasoning. It may be the first time in 40+ years of traveling globally that I have been served hot calamari cooked to perfection. The meal was excellent, and our server was fantastic, efficient, and attentive. This was a great experience - great tasting food and a marvelous view! read more

This was our second time here and we always sit outside because why not!! It's nice to see the boats pass by or boats just pull up for an early dinner on a Sunday afternoon. Started off with a glass of Sangria and some appetizers. We had an order of calamari, peel away shrimp and fried pickles. They were good and tasty. For the meals we had shrimp tacos, the Islander and the Baja salad with grilled chicken. The Islander was big and the fries were just right! The shrimp tacos were good too and the salad was pretty large that I ended up sharing it. For dessert we tried the brownie and that was also a hit! I think the kids licked the bowl!! This place gets busy and the service is always good. You can't go wrong where you sit if you want to enjoy the outside unless of course it starts raining but it is great place for families and groups! We will be back soon! read more

Awful just awful everything was dumped out of bag and into a fryer. Don't charge me twenty + dollars for a Poboy and fries then use grocery store tomatoes and wilted lettuce. It's September. This is tomato season. You can get a good tomato. The one thing that would've been better is if you got the bread from the grocery store instead those awful hoagie rolls. I didn't toast the bread or cook a tortillas at all for my wife's shrimp tacos. Nothing like the taste of raw dough. The service was good. The scenery was wonderful. I will never be back. Enjoy your horrible food. read more

Service was great. Our server Maddy made sure she checked on us frequently and was very friendly. Ambiance is causal and fun. Food was ok.

Had a great dinner! I love sitting outside when I come here. It's such a relaxing place to meet and take in some delicious seafood. There is also a variety of options on the menu for anyone who doesn't care for seafood. We rarely have had to wait for a table, there are a lot of seating options. We started by sharing appetizers of fried pickles and nachos w chicken added. Both were really good! The tacos are my favorite and I had the blackened shrimp. The crab sandwich was also good per my daughter, be prepared though the legs are bartered and included on the sandwich. The lemon pepper fries were also good (side option). You can't be the views and a great selection of drafts or mixed drinks. We'll definitely be back! read more

We got drinks here and got screwed over. LOVED our server but the manager not so much... We ordered a frose. It was supposed to have vodka in it. My girlfriend is gluten free, so she had Tito's. They added +4$, but there was zero vodka in it. It tasted really bad and the additional pay for not adding anything...? Come on. We asked about it and the manager didn't do anything. I will not be back and recommend others to stay away. read more

I love Fish House grill. The fish & shrimp tacos are amazing. Most recently I had their Mahi Mahi Sandwhich which was delicious and I enjoy their signature fries with a lemon zing! The calamari is a great shareable appetizer and you can't go wrong with either of the desserts: Key Lime Pie or Fudge Brownie Napoleón. Lastly, the outdoor patio by the water is peaceful and a wonderful dining option. read more

Food was great! I got the islander chicken sandwich and it was incredible! Great covered outdoor seating! And the service was great!

Really really good. Surprisingly good! I had low expectations but needed a drink and something not fried. I was on the water and knew I could get a drink at a million places but wasn't sure about food. Fish House delivered. Phenomenal salmon. Stiff cocktails A+ location on the water View of beautiful boats My buddy had the fried chicken sando - it might have been even better than my salmon. read more

Had a hard time parking it got seated right as we got there. Our waitress was pleasant and nice. There is inside seating where we sat and outside seating by the water. Quaint little place. I ordered the mahi mahi grilled with seasoned rice and broccoli. Very good. My husband ordered the fried shrimp and fries with coleslaw. They fries are seasoned very good. The shrimp had a light breading and very tender. The coleslaw was ok but could be a little more creamy. We have been here once before and decided to come aga read more

Service | Views | Salmon Service - I have to shoutout the manager and hostess that were working the night my group came in (17 July 2021). I was in Wilmington for a wedding for a friend and the wedding party decided to grab dinner at 7:30 PM on a Saturday in July without previous reservations. I showed up at 7:15 PM and explained we needed seating for 24 people. The staff was able to sit out group at two different tables (one of 10 and one of 14) in 40 minutes. Which is amazing. We can't say enough about their flexibility to work us in during a very busy time. Views - the restaurant is right by a pier with a good amount of middle sized fishing boats and private boats. It is pretty good spot to see the sunset. The restaurant has room for about 120-150 people outside and half have good views of the water. Salmón - I had the salmón sándwich. Overall it was pretty good given the price point. They have options for blackened and various levels of "time" on the grill/pan. The biggest critique is that the complements (bread, tomato, lettuce) were not curated around the meat. The salmon was in the standard 8-9 oz strip. But everything else came out as a circle. Therefore multiple bites had little to no meat. Overall, it was fine. But, if I go back I'll try something else for sure just so I can have a more consistent main course bite for bite. Pro tip- there isn't a lot of parking, so Uber/Lyft KD preferred. Pro tip - they have a holding pattern that easily sits 50 people. So our group hung out with drinks for 40 minutes while they worked our group in for our tables. read more

Normally this is our "go to" place to relax and enjoy the waterfront. Recently, the food has taken a nosedive. Ordered burger with fries and flounder platter. Burger and fries were cold. Fish platter was not flounder! Best guess was that it was tilapia. Bread coating was greasy and heavy. Way more fries than one would expect to eat. Very disappointing. It appears that there has been a change in management. Alot of small things have changed, not for the better. Sorry but there are better places to eat. read more

Great setting next to the marina. Cool and casual vibe looking at all the boats. Fried local oysters were perfect. Tasty and not fried hard. The onion rings are legit onions! Not bits and pieces of onions. It was raining but we were still about to sit outside under their covered patio. Our service was spot on and efficient. read more

Solid, fresh seafood..sat outside didn't like the stoop we were up on but would recommend.

Fish House Grill was recommended by a friend who used to live in Wilmington, so naturally I had to come here on my first night in wrightsville beach. Regarding covid precautions, they did well with social distancing folks and sanitizing tables between guests. It was a Friday night so there was a bit of a wait (an hour) but we were able to go to the bar to grab a drink while waiting outside. They accurately predicted the wait and we were seated with a view of the water and boats which was really nice. The service here was great! Our server was on top of everything and recommended trying different sauces (all made in house). My friend really talked up the crab melt so I went with it. It wasn't as good as I thought it would be. It was a bit too rich for me with the cheese and crab but I do know my other friends really enjoyed it. I did enjoy their curly fries which were crispy and flavorful. I also had their take on seafood gumbo which was fantastic! Though the crab melt wasn't for me, I'd still recommend checking out Fish House Grill if you're in the area and looking for a casual dinner spot with great seafood options. read more

Today, I had some time before my next appointment so I decided on having a late lunch. The Islander chicken sandwich with fries was what I ordered. A good amount of bacon and flavor in this sandwich.

Sitting by the water was the absolute best part of my visit to Fish House Grill. Super calming, especially during the sunset. Sat practically on the water of the inlet. So so pretty. Got the peel n eat shrimp, lemon pepper fries, and popcorn shrimp. All were a 10/10. So good! The seasoning on the fries were amazing. Service was so quick. The waitress I had was so incredibly sweet and patient. Got sat quickly and food came out quick. Definitely a must stop if you're in the area. Especially just for the pretty view of the inlet! read more

Came here for a quick bite for lunch with my husband after going to the beach. It's a relatively convenient location if you are spending time at the beaches in Wilmington, and when we went, there was plenty of parking available in their lot. There are both indoor and outdoor seating options, and we were able to be seated right away. I ordered the Hawaiian tuna wrap, and it was a fresh, delicious, and healthy blend of Ahi tuna, mixed greens, pineapple, applewood smoked bacon, sriracha, in a flour tortilla. It also came with blue tortilla chips and salsa. My husband opted for the mixed greens salad. There were several menu items that also looked tasty that we'll have to come back to try! Our food was delivered very quickly, and our server was very friendly. The prices were on the higher side for a casual dining spot, but they weren't unreasonable. I'm sure we'll be back when we're in town! read more

I'm surprised it's not busier. There is a large amount of outdoor seating overlooking the boats on the waterway. My complaint is that there could be more airflow to mitigate the flies. The service is great and the food is reasonably priced. I'd recommend this for bigger parties or families with children for the convenience of seating and value in price. read more
