The food was amazing, hush puppies, stuffed shrimp, catfish and grits. The service was above and beyond, we even got a plug to charge our phone. There was even live music to top off the evening. 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.

Great place to grab lunch when traveling out of MCO. I like their blackened grouper sandwich, it's delicious 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

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

Fish On Fire - Blackened grouper sandwich with fries, and a side order of fried shrimp. Didn't get much better than that. - Seafood Near Me - Orlando, Florida

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

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

Between the wings or fish and every in between it's good stuff! Keep it up jay and staff! Always good locals and good times as well! 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

We were craving fried seafood when we left the beach. We drove to Fish on Fire because we have seen & driven past this place many times. We arrived early afternoon, plenty of parking. There is a bar open to the parking lot. There is outside seating. Sign as you enter instructs us to seat ourselves. We chose a table by the window. The table was not cleaned properly. In fact, the table was sticky. The napkin stuck to the table. Very off-putting, but we wanted to try the food. Our server promptly introduced herself and took out drink order, two lemon waters. We ordered fried catfish platter with fries, hush puppies and an additional side of fried shrimps. I ordered the fried shrimp basket with fries, coleslaw and an additional side of hush puppies. The food was good. It was all fried perfectly crispy. The fries were seasoned and yummy. The coleslaw was just ok. The hush puppies could've been sweeter, but I liked that they were not dense and heavy. The service was a little off, but we were served hot food promptly and were checked on often to ensure we were ok. read more

Expect a rustic American dive bar with a great fish menu and live music! Fun, real people who cater to the local crowd but word gets out and out of towners slip in. We're glad we did. Food and fun was joyous. It's a gem of a place. 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

Kurt the manager was very hospitable and friendly. Server was also very attentive. Would go back read more

Good food and good service. Had lunch while traveling and really wanted some yummy seafood. Tacos were amazing. Portions were huge. The wings were delicious. read more

Stopped in for an early dinner and was nothing but disappointed. We sent our fried grouper sandwich back, because the breading was akin to leather, and replaced it with a burger that was almost average. $20 dollar burger plates served on cheap Dollar Store hamburger buns with frozen crinkle cut fries. Wendy's would have been money better spent. read more

I had a great couple meals at this place now! We go out on the lake all the time over here at Conway, and our friends said this is their favorite spot so we popped in after a day in the sun to give it a try! It's a super relaxed environment, definitely perfect for lake-goers because there's no need to get all fancy! The food was great! My boyfriend got this absolutely massive meal with steak, mahi and shrimp, with corn on the cobb and potatoes if I remember correctly.. it's the most expensive thing on the menu and I'm pretty sure it's still less than $30! He loved every bit of it. I had a funny experience my first time choosing something to eat because I don't eat seafood so I thought, I'll get a burger! I ordered the Mushroom Melt, which was in the burger section on the menu.. it said tomato, melted cheese, mushrooms.. well I got it and that's quite literally what it was! It was a vegetarian option! I loved it! I don't know why I didn't catch on right away but it was a pleasant surprise, just so funny when I took a bite and got half way through the sandwich before I realized... makes sense now why the lady looked at me funny when I said medium rare. We came here again for a birthday gathering casual out on the patio area, the bloody mary's are only $3 and they also have bottled Angry Orchard for like $5 I think. Win, win! read more

I've been coming for quite sometime. The food is fantastic, you can tell the chefs work hard however the service seriously needs improvement. Management is not what it used to be. I have watched higher ups scold their servers which is never the way to talk to your staff. In the past, I have had both Natalia and Colton as servers and they are absolutely fantastic. Quick, efficient, and great attitudes. I went in a few weeks ago on a somewhat busy night and had a different server who I didn't recognize, I believe her name was summer. The other servers had to take care of our table more than we even saw her as she was constantly disappearing or ignoring us. I know the management has recently changed, but I would definitely consider making a change again after how I saw the manager speaking to his servers when it was clearly not their fault speaks volumes about what this restaurant has turned into. I unfortunately won't be visiting again after my past experience but I am grateful for the other servers for stepping up! Great job, we even tipped out another server because she took care of us more. read more

We hosted out 30 year high school reunion a Fish on Fire and it was amazing. They had great food, outstanding service, and stellar music. I would deff host another event there again. read more

Live music was cool. The place itself is a little small so I wouldn't try to come in a large group. The wait staff was very friendly and it has like a small town everyone is welcomed feel to it. Food wise, it was just ok. I think you would enjoy it more for the experience more than anything. Price wise it isn't bad. Honestly I would comeback for the bar and music. Probably not to eat read more

Fish On Fire - The best food ever - Seafood Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Went on a Tuesday afternoon I ordered the catfish & hush puppies My husband got the mahi shrimp and steak The catfish wasn't bad but could've been a little more seasoned The mahi was delicious (blackened) Overall I would return read more

I ordered the onion straws and they were really good. The shrimp basket was good too. Our service was slow and this was on a Sunday night. We sat outside and unfortunately were right near the trash can where all the empty bottles were put. I realize that the servers are busy but they threw and slammed the bottles into the can. To say it was loud is an understatement. There were even some overserved customers who apparently thought it was funny to slam the bottles into the can so that they'd break. read more

Pros: Great food Cons: Racism My group of friends (4 white one black) sat at a table together. We got a couple looks from some customers but I didn't think anything of it. 15 minutes later, a group of ~4 black people come to sit down at the table next to us and they're told that it's $20/person/seat. They come ask my black friend if he had to pay cover, and seemed pretty annoyed when he explained we did not. Some time after that, a white couple came and took the seats and they weren't charged cover either. The seafood was amazing though, like some of the best fresh caught fish and shrimp I've ever had. It was cooked to perfection. (I recommend to get the mahi mahi blackened.) And their key lime pie was superb. Also our waitress was very nice. I don't think she was involved in the whole thing with the other group. So I'm not really sure how to feel about this place because the food was great, but on principle I can't give it 5 stars. -2 for racism, the lighter your skin the better the service. read more

A true dive bar with a strong local following. This night a favorite band (of brothers) from Brazil. The place was packed and the cover band was pretty good. Daily special of Frog Legs was so-so but the catfish was terrific. Sides of greens and cheese grit were very well prepared. Service was a tad slow, but understandable as it was very crowded and loud - maybe too loud. read more

super food and the review about racism is crap. Black wait staff and they don't hate white people either. Not fancy and good bar, easy to find read more

This is a dive restaurant that serves frozen farm raised fish. The fish portions were small and the sides were bland. They seem to have good beer specials as it is a drinking establishment. It is not the type of place you go to for the ambiance, food, or service read more

Had the fried grouper basket and bulleit smashed. Food was good and the drink was ok. Service was inattentive. Took a long time to order and a long time to get their attention. read more

Great food and great prices! I've been there many times and had nothing but great experiences. Friendly staff.

This is definitely off the tourist path, most are locals that meander to this place. Loved the decor, and the food I had was so delicious. There is plenty of room inside and outside and there was no wait. There is a long bar if you don't want a table. We went here for dinner. We were full. There is more. For appetizers we had the hush puppies- enough for the 3 of us. Served with a mild sauce. Perfect for us since some like it mild. I had the shrimp basket with fries. Oh my! I love whatever spice is on the shrimp.. maybe it's Old Bay? Not sure. The plus - they give you lots of shrimp and the fries were yummy! Currently, they have a contest going on that benefits a charity and they have other events coming up. Love that they give back and have fun with great food at a reasonable price! read more

Good food early on New Year's Eve. We went after a lacrosse tournament nearby and went around 4:30 to beat the crowds. It was pretty empty. Our server was attentive. I got the fried shrimp basket with tots. They were very good. Ordered a side of cheesy grits and had to ask for them-they were forgotten she. She put the order in. Hubby got the fried shrimp basket with an add on of catfish. He and our son thought the catfish was extraordinarily muddy and wouldn't try it again. Our son got the mahi mahi sandwich which came hot off the cooker! He plowed through it. We shared key lime pie which was tasty. The beer was good too. read more

We love Fish on Fire! This has become a must-do anytime we are in Orlando and it is our first stop from the airport. The ambience is lovely. Once you come inside you feel like you are in a coastal tiki bar and not in an Orlando parking lot. The food is lovely, so fresh and good. I had an appetizer of shrimp in a Cajun butter sauce. It was served with bread that was sitting in the sauce and that bite of butter soaked bread was one of the best bites I've ever had! The rest of my group equally loved their meals. We will return every time we are in Orlando! read more

Traveling with my fiancé and we were craving gator bites, fish on fire was highly rated on google reviews which is a shame considering the actual experience. - gator bites were chewy. didn't satisfy our cravings. - fish dip had spotty cream cheese in it, it was OK. - fish sandwiches, Mahi Mahi and Grouper. the fish was moist, we recommend Mahi Mahi blackened. - key lime pie tastes like cheese cake with lemon extract. - we came for the banana crème pudding as well, of course they didn't have it so we were stuck with chocolate pudding which wasn't pleasant at all. Overall, the fish was solid, the rest is a big whatever and a little disappointing. Staff was kind. read more

Whenever we come into town to drop off someone at the Airport we enjoy coming to Fish on Fire. One thing you know for sure when you order a fish sandwich you know you are getting a fresh quality filet of whatever fish you like and not some cheap quality frozen distant cousin fish, that you get at many of the local restaurants. We normally come at lunch so the volume inside is normal. they do have loud live bands in the evenings. I will continue to come back to Fish on Fire when I make it to Orlando. read more

I usually don't write reviews, but I see this restaurants food really went down hill. I decided to take my Mom here again after 10 years, and the food was not the same. I don't understand what happened. We ordered grouper and we were told there were No bones in the grouper, and my Mom's first bite had a bone in it. My bread on the Caesar salad was cold and the salad was plain with no parmesan cheese or mixed with dressing. So, we tried their shrimp that was stuffed, and it was like soggy bread on top of the little shrimp. The new Greek salad he brought me was the same, and is not mixed with dressing and is plain as can be. The waiter was very nice to help us, and the manager wanted to help us change our order from grouper to shrimp, but I was very sad to experience two bad meals with my Mom. I wanted her to have a good meal, and to bring back great memories. I am a Great cook, and I definitely do a lot better in the kitchen cooking then what is happening here at FOF. We were the only people there besides people in the bar. I feel the Chef needs a makeover with the food. As for the price we paid, we could have went to Fishbones or Hide Tide Harrys and had a better meal. I hope this Restaurant can bring in a great Chef to cook because it is a cute place and it has a band at night. The place is also a little dirty, and needs some good cleaning on the floors and tables. We had to ask for our table to be cleaned and the server cleaned it for us. I am so sad to write this Review, but if the food is Really, really Bad, other people trying to have a great memory should know how it is! So sorry, as I hope the food can improve and one day revisit to have a great meal with family! read more

Their Big Bob burger was grilled to juicy perfection. I've had equal success with various fish sandwiches.

The place was packed. We found a seat though fairly quickly. We only waited on our delicious dinner for 20 minutes. The Grouper is fresh and very flavorful. My daughter loved the shrimp taco's. My husband said the fried fish basket was wonderful too! My other daughter had the Tuna and collard greens. Yumm. All the plates come with garlic bread. read more
