    Catfish
    Agnew D.

    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.

    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!

    More of the fish we brought in, I forget what style they did with this.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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. .

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

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

    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.

    My recent experience here was perfection. Called for a same-day reservation for a party of 10 on a…read moreprom season Saturday. Figured my chances were slim, but Tonya (or perhaps Tonia) the manager ensured that my dining dreams came true. She was very helpful, fitting us in at 8:30. The door to enter the restaurant isn't prominently labeled, so I always second guess if I have the right way. It's a classy feel inside with lighting that sets the mood, as well as cohesive fixtures and accents. Tablet menus? Yes. That's a thing here. Our server did a great job taking care of us. All our needs were met with finesse. As for the food, so delicious! I would normally go for the Lobster Mac & Cheese, which is to die for, but I like to switch things up. The Mahi Mahi Sandwich didn't disappoint. The regular mac & cheese that I had for my side is some of the best around town. The cocktails are flawless. My Mint Julep and Manhattan were perfectly crafted and 100% satisfying. This place is consistent and will not let you down. Looking forward to my next visit.

For the food, the best item on the bbq chicken platter was the creamed corn. There was a perfect crunch on top and the cream paired very well with the sweet corn. I believe it had jalapeños in it but there barely was any spice. The bbq chicken tasted just like you would imagine it and the fries weren't anything special. My girlfriend really enjoyed the lobster mac & cheese. Just like the creamed corn, my girlfriend complimented the crunch on top of the entree. We both liked the spinach dip and the chips were lightly seasoned well too. For the drinks, we got the baby blue cosmo and the espresso martini. The martini was good and the cosmo was pretty strong for it being a restaurant.
