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?
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.
I miss my flight and had to book a motel. Next to my motel, I found this awesome restaurant. Brandy was great!!!!! Super easy going and sweet!!!!!! Didn't expect it to be as good as it was. The alligator was amazing and the prices were excellent. Food was fresh and coleslaw was delicious. Drinks were affordable made my trip a lot better than it was truly grateful. Great experience!!!! Definitely a spot to check out. Service was great! Ambience was excellent had live music!!!!!
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.
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.
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.
Had to be over near the airport today and found this nice little local restaurant - not many of them around with all of the chain restaurants . Our server - Deanna took our order and gave us several suggestions. I got the 8oz Mahi sandwich - large piece of fish, comes with fries and coleslaw. The fish was so big I had to deconstruct the sandwich - and ate the fish by itself.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Michelle and Deanna were excellent. First time here and we felt like we were eating with friends. PRIVATELY OWNED so help these guys out. Not many small businesses left. I had the Shrimp Basket and we also got the Mahi Mahi Sandwich. Very very fresh and good. Alligator was phenomenal! Everything was excellent! Save room for homemade dessert! Banana Creme Pie was huge! Adult Root beer Float was woo hoo! And of course Key Lime Pie. We will definitely be back to try more! So glad we found this place. See you soon. read more

Live music, open air seating at the bar, this place is a 10/10 for the vibes alone. Then you get into the menu and it's just insane. Their combo platters and pricing are too good to pass up. You can get Steak, Shrimp AND Fish with 2 sides for just $26- unreal! I asked for chips instead of crackers with the fish dip. I will say the blackened shrimp was seasoned too heavily but everything else held its delicious and fresh seafood flavor. This is a must try if you are a fan of High Tide Harry's and looking for comparable pricing/menu options! 10/10 will be back for more! 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
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
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
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

It's been a few years, but I absolutely loved Fish on Fire. The music was Awesome, the crowd was amazing and a great time was had by all. The food was good, but we really loved Tree-oH, the band. They played a variety of great music and really kept us going. The servers were fun to talk to, and our glasses were never empty. We need to head back again, it's been way too long !!! read more

Amazing dive bar with good service. Mahi platter was tasty well cooked. The fish 1 beer $26. 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

Good seafood at the villages Fl?
This is not at the Villages but rather by the Orlando airport. Fish on Fire serves good seafood and sometimes has live music. More of a 'Cheers style' neighborhood bar.
