One of my favorite restaurants when I come to Orlando. Fish On Fire has been a favorite of FlightSafety International instructors and students for as long as I've been coming here (15+ years). The go-to is the blackened fish sandwich. Very tender and juicy. On this occasion, some of the fries were a little undercooked, but that was my only complaint. Service is friendly and was reasonably fast, even during the lunch rush. Decor is Florida dive bar themed with an inside/outside bar. Jimmy Buffett would have felt at home here. read more

Very unassuming spot. Located in the parking lot of a hotel, we almost left. I'm glad we didn't, though.. the food was great! We sat outside, although the inside looked nice as well. My tacos were delicious and full of flavors and my corona was a very cold, what more could a girl ask for? read more

Felt like I took a step into old Florida and even maybe the 80's. Definite locals vibe but friendly. Food was great and got my first taste of alligator here. If you want to steer clear of tourist traps, this is a choice. read more

Local dive with low priced seafood and BBQ. When you've had enough of the high priced seafood restaurants, definitely try this place.

I will simply have to start with the food--Amazing! The fish is On Fire! My hat is off to the chef- well plated, amazing taste with perfect seasoning. I had the Maui. The others in my party had the fried catfish. Of course we sampled an were not disappointed. One did try the chicken basket; while it was good it was not as on fire as the fish. Sides of choice were the cheese grits and collard greens. I promise, I thought my great grandmother made it- they took me to a special place. We stoped in on vacation an was treated to live music- an unexpected bonus. Service was impressive and the atmosphere was nice. Clean restrooms, friendly waitstaff and awesome food. Will visit again when back in the area. A must try when you are in the area. read more

Fish On Fire - Catfish - Seafood Near Me - Orlando, Florida

The food here is surprisingly good food for what one might call a 'dive' bar/restaurant. The service was fast and friendly. They also have live entertainment (and I was there on a Thursday evening). There is both indoor and outdoor seating. I had the catfish dinner which was as expected and tasty. My companion had the ribeye and commented it was fantastic. Recommend and worth a short drive if your good with the atmosphere. read more

One of our favorite places to eat at. Been going there for years. The food, service and music is amazing. Highly recommend.

Every now and then I stumble upon a special and unique place to eat and Fish On Fire is my most recent discovery. It's unusual to say the least. It's located on the edge of the MCO property and is a dive bar with a very good kitchen attached. I had dinner here last week before catching an evening flight home. Yelp location is accurate and using some kind of navigation to get here is a good idea because Fish on Fire doesn't even have a sign out front. When you arrive it's in a stand alone building with its own parking lot, The building has covered outdoor seating along with an interior that includes a combination full bar and dining room that also has a small band stage. You see, this country casual dive bar has live music most nights. I ordered the mahi mahi (blackened) upon the recommendation of the waitress for $22. For my two chosen sides I went with red potatoes and cheese grits. I also added a cup of their homemade chicken and rice soup for another $4. The soup came out quickly and was exactly as advertised as it did taste homemade and was delicious. The entree arrived shortly later with a nice sized filet of blackened mahi mahi that was tasty. It was accompanied by boiled red potatoes (very good) with a cup of melted butter for the fish and potatoes. The grits were in a separate bowl with grated cheese on top and yummy! Everything on my plate was an easy 4 score. Plus this bar/restaurant has a lot of character and ambience (4) too. If you are arriving or leaving from MCO do yourself a favor. Come by here for a meal/drink. You'll be glad you did! read more

We have been wanting to try for a while. This is one of the few places that will cook your fish you bring in. My kid had caught a black fin tuna a few months ago and we wanted to see what a restaurant would do with it. We got it done 3 ways blackened and two other ways. All three were good and the sides were nice. The place has a beachy vibe. They have a pass through bar so expect the restaurant to be warm inside. We went relatively early and they had a band playing and so it was a bit loud. read more

The food was good. After driving all day I wanted something healthy. I had fish and greens. I can't remember what fish I had. It was grilled and not over cooked. It was tucked away next to my hotel near the airport. It was a Saturday night and they had live music. I ate outside as the music was a little too loud. The prices were good. read more

Fish On Fire - Grouper Key West style - Seafood Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Needed a place to eat close to the airport. This place is definitely a local dive with many regulars. Definitely make a reservation because they have live music. Out of five of us three ordered the Grouper sandwich Reubenized with fries and hush puppies as sides. All said they enjoyed it other than the hush puppies needed more onions I got the shrimp platter 3 ways with steamed vegetables and red potatoes with a slice of garlic bread. This was very delicious but also the shrimp were very garlicky. I would order it again though. The last item was a tuna steak sandwich with fries..it looked beautiful but was not eaten completely not due to taste but because they felt it should have been sliced rather than one whole piece. Place definitely looks like it is 20 some years old and all types of fish items and funny fish slogans decorated the room. It's not a huge red but also has outdoor covered seating. No time for dessert but saw others order the key lime pie, an average portion and looked good. This place could easily be on the show DDD with Guy. Our waitress was great and knew we needed to be out to catch a flight. read more

We went on a Friday night so it was pretty busy. The staff was very nice and helpful. The live music was nice but if you want to chat with a friend, I recommend sitting outside. The musician, Jeff Howell; was great. FoF features some good local acts. No cover. We ordered hush puppies as a starter and I had a combination shrimp dinner. It was ok, my sides were a little too salty. But otherwise ok. My friend had the shrimp and grits and she said it was a little bland. The surrounding area felt a little sketchy, but I can't say that I felt unsafe. read more

Fish On Fire - Shrimp shrimp shrimp platter and shrimp and grits - Seafood Near Me - Orlando, Florida

The grill is next door to our hotel so we picked it. There were lots of other customers when we arrived. It seems popular. They had live music. We opted to sit outside. The waitress was friendly. She seemed to want to make our experience a good one. She checked on us several times. She was apologetic about the order error. The food was ok. We started with the Parmesan stuffed shrimp. The shrimp was medium sized. I had the small burger. I asked for no bun and medium rare. It came with the bun and was well done. It tasted good. The fries were good. The coleslaw was soggy and flavorless. My dining companion had the mahi mahi fried tacos with rice and beans. The rice and beans had little flavor. The tacos had lots of cheese and the salsa was spicy. They were tasty. read more

The Shrimp Basket was amazing. I loved the batter on the shrimp and the fries were cooked perfectly. I first ordered the special of the day which was Lobster Ravioli and absolutely did not like it. The waitress and manager were so very kind. I want to rank them for being so gracious. read more

Great dive bar, friendly staff good food just needs to be closer to Clermont. A different experience than typical big box food outlets.

This place came highly recommended for the fish dip. I wasn't expecting it to be 5 stars as I read the reviews before going. If you're into fish salad aka dip this may be the place to get the best but it was more like fish moouse than dip. Fish tacos wasn't bad but also wasn't great.l read more

If you're in the mood for seafood, then this hole in the wall location near the MCO airport may just do the trick. It doesn't have "camp" in the name, so it's not the best (I have a theory that any fish camp is some good food), but the food was good and the staff is friendly! They have some pretty good catfish which I got in basket form. It was done right with the right breading and size so you weren't eating too much catfish without breading. The waitress did recommend trying the catfish filet and I may do that sometime. Shrimp tacos are my favorite type of tacos and their version were nothing special. I'd stick to something else as they just had normal taco ingredients instead of the usual slaw topping which makes a Shrimp Taco sing. The men's room has an odd little alcove with 2 urinals that may make it a little cozy for the guy in the far urinal to get out without getting a little too close to the 1st urinal guy. If it's someone who drops their pants to their ankles to urinate, then the risk is up to you! It wasn't overly busy on a Saturday around noon so if you're looking to avoid a potential big crowd or loud bands, that may be the time to try. It looks like they have a house drum set, so I'd imagine there's music on various days. read more

I have lived in the Orlando area for more than 25 years and had never been to Fish On Fire. It was Friday night around 5:45. There were quite a few tables unoccupied. The restaurant was a little on the warm side. You definitely don't want to be dressed up in Jeans and long sleeve shirts. It's a very casual place. Our servers were friendly and quick to get the food out. I had the grouper basket. It came with slaw, fries and hush puppies. My guests had the fried shrimp basket and the Parmesan stuffed shrimp. We were there at happy hour which was less impressive. Beer was 50 cents off and well brand drinks were also 50 cents off. No discounts for wine. The local bands play nightly at 7 , but we were on our way just as they were starting Fish on Fire would be great if you didn't mind sweating while you eat and eating fried food baskets. We probably will not return. . read more

Fun place for drinks. Service is friendly. Restaurant is very casual . Food is 50/50... I have eaten fish here twice. The first time it was fresh and good. The second time I tried the Mahi dinner. It tasted like it had been in a freezer for a week or two... The French fries were the best part of the dinner.., I won't be back... read more

LOVVVEEED. This bar! It reminds me of those Florida key or any other island bars. Simple but beautiful inside and an open bar and outside tables.!drinks are soooo cheap! But best part, they had a an amazing bar doing cover from 90s and 2000s like wooow loooove! Been before but will be again read more

Fish On Fire - Tree - oH playing our request. - Seafood Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Our family of 19 was in town for vacation. The guys went fishing off of the Gulf Coast and had an amazing catch that they wanted someone to cook and found this spot on Google. Jessica took great care of a pretty demanding party. I'm sure we were a handful for her and she never missed a beat. Trivia Tuesday was a hoot and our family enjoyed playing. Bacon wrapped shrimp were added to the meal as starters. They prepared our fish three different ways: Blackened, Key West and fried. All were good but I think Key West was the favorite at the table. For sides, we had coleslaw, beans and rice, some of the sweetest summer corn on the cob and bread. Awesome service. Great food. Fun atmosphere. read more

I remember when Fish on Fire was a little dive bar. It had a pool table and friendly staff and owner and made a nice fish sandwich. Then the Fish caught on fire. Seriously it burned down. When they rebuilt it, it lost that loving feeling of a dive bar and became bigger and more of a restaurant. I think they did things much better on a smaller scale. I still like to stop by from time to time because they have live music. I'm glad Fish is there for drinks and music. read more

Absolutely delicious! Don't forget to order the fish dip because it is outstanding. Everything we had was excellent. They offer live music which was good and not too loud. It resembles a dive bar but the food doesn't match that. The service was good. Can't wait to go back. read more

Fish on Fire was a pretty average dining experience - nothing special and nothing to write home about, at least not based on our experience. The parking is easy, the service is friendly (albeit a little unprofessional- our server sat down at our table while taking our order), and the interior decor gives off strong fisherman or wharf vibes. From the outside looking in, the storefront looks a little unkempt. Presentation is not Fish on Fire's strong suit - our cocktails were served in regular water glasses. Our meal was good but not great. I ordered the Shrimp Shrimp Shrimp which is a basically a bunch of shrimp prepared in different ways and served with two sides of your choice. The grilled and fried shrimp were very good, but I was not a fan of the stuffed shrimp. My partner ordered the fried alligator which was very chewy and not very flavorful, unfortunately. He did really enjoy the cup of complimentary clam chowder that we received. Overall, I would say this is a place to go for a very laidback, no-frills-meal. read more

I got the blackened grouper sandwich. If I were rating it on that, it would be 2 stars. Little ramekin of coleslaw was not good.... Maybe a bad batch or maybe they need to dial in the ratios but it was bitter and lacked flavor. Fries were fine. Same with the ranch and tarter, but my food was just fine at best. With the grouper it was the thin, likely farmed / frozen and kinda fishy tasting filet. It wasn't the thicker nice slice of grouper filet I was hoping for and for a $16 sandwich I just want better, particularly if you have fish in your name in Florida. I guess I've just been spoiled by more fish market type grouper. Okay the bad is out of the way, I loved the vibe. Tiki bar feel. Live music, $6 for my blonde ales (just 4 beers on tap, 420 is the ipa, local blonde and 2 light beers), service was slammed but adequate and just avoid the grouper. The mahi filet looked fantastic. Same with the burger I saw. I heard someone mention fresh cobia, also probably a good choice. Shrimp looked good.... Just don't get the grouper! Older crowd, live music, drinks and food. I'll give it another go when I'm back in town. read more

Just came here for work for one day. Jen the bartender was awful and rude. We just wanted food and a drink. She blamed her treating us like garbage that I look "like I'm in highschool" and shouldn't be sitting at the bar. She claimed she had a bad day. I had a bad day too. We ended up leaving without food. I had a family death yesterday and she continued to make my day worse. Thanks fish on fire. read more

Very chill restaurant. You seat yourself upon arrival. They have a live band play music most evenings and they have a trivia night on Tuesdays. You can also play trivia through your phone that's connected to their TV while you wait for your food which I thought was fun! The food tastes average. Nothing really special. My favorite dish was the onion strings. Hush puppies were good too but the entrees could've used more flavor. Our server, Kat, could've been more attentive. She was never around when we needed her. They also forgot to bring out my side of hush puppies with my tacos. By the time they arrived at the table, I was already done with my meal. Makes me think the order was never put in correctly to the system. This was not a special experience and it did not leave us wanting more. I don't see us returning anytime soon, if at all. read more

So happy to write a review for Fish on fire restaurant. This is a place that is inhabited by a lot of locals based on where it is. But the food is always done well, price right, and great drinks. Most times you can go there during the day and the owner is there and just enjoying the pub and the patrons. For years I always get the shrimp basket a the in-house Long Island iced tea. Lately I've been getting their blackened grouper really enjoying it. The craziest thing is that some how I ordered a pulled pork sandwich at a seafood restaurant, which is typically not something I do, but that pulled pork was one of the best I ever had. highly recommend this place, and catch them on nights with the live music is best read more

Walking into this establishment with no working air conditioning should have been my que to leave. The mahi mahi sandwich was very tough and inedible. The shrimp and grits were served on a plate not a bowl, under seasoned, plain and cheese tasted cheap. I honestly do not know how this restaurant is still open. The photos on yelp do NOT match with the food served. Do not recommend. read more

Tried the blacken grouper sandwich and the Mahi entree, key west style. The grouper was excellent! It's a casual chill environment which it met my expectations. Food is going to be great- service is going to be lack luster. Especially on busier days or nights when a band is playing. I would recommend sitting by the bar. read more
