The food was fantastic! I had the Blackened Grouper and the gumbo; both were delicious! Went on a Saturday afternoon and we were able to served fairly quickly. The place is small but I strongly suggest you check it out. read more

Call me bougie, I splurged for the lobster roll today and it was excellent! Not sure I would pay $45 again plus the 18% surcharge for service when ordering from the counter. Not usually a fan of coleslaw, however it is also pretty good. I'll be back to try some other other more reasonably priced options. read more

The $22 grouper sandwich is made without a pinch of salt. The shrimp ceviche was good until I realized THEY DONT CLEAN THE SHRIMP. None of the shrimp is split down the back to take out the poop. that is not a vein. The vein is on the inside of the shrimp. That is alarming for a seafood place. Overall, overpriced. Plus 18% gratuity added to all sit in orders. $1 added to all to go orders. read more

If i could i would give this spot a half a star for the service i would! This spot food is cool but charging ppl an automatic 10% "gratuity" on a to go order is crazy! So you charge $22 for a sandwich but its actually $27 after tax.... Told the guy to take that off and he said(arrogantly) he cant, its built into their POS system! I left immediately! ‍ i shouldn't be charged any type of fee or "gratuity for you just handing me my order! Just another way to get more money out of ppl!! NEWSFLASH!! Just charge more for the fkn food! Never going back and telling everybody i know(and i know a lot of ppl in this town) not to come bcuz of the BS! Atlanta food scene changing for the worse read more

I had the fish sandwich. The sandwich was seasoned well and would go again if in the area again.

My father-in-law is a meat and seafood specialist and recommended this place to us for the next time we visited Atlanta. We came by in the middle of the day and there was still a good number of people in this small restaurant. The service was friendly and attentive. You ordered at the cash register and the food came right out. You could even watch the cooks make the food if you wanted to. The food was fresh and the scallop ceviche was amazing. The grouper was nice and flaky and the avocado toast had a nice addition of pickled onions. Definitely a great recommendation that I would pass on to anyone visiting Atlanta. read more

Can't say enough great things about fishmonger from the service to the laid back atmosphere to the flavors, to the freshness of the food, to the drinks to the music. I was hoping to gatekeep this as long as I could, but they deserve the love! My favorites are the lobster roll [when it's there] gumbo, pasta salad, blakened grouper sandwich, and oysters! read more

I visited on a Saturday afternoon, drawn by the social media buzz around the grouper sandwich. The space is small and intimate, with seating best suited for a quick, casual meal. The staff were upbeat and friendly. We tried two of the daily specials--a cucumber salad and fish tacos--and, of course, the famous grouper sandwich. Honestly, the food was a letdown. My sandwich was messy; the fish was moist and flaky, but so wet that the bun fell apart. While it's a neat place to watch a fishmonger at work and grab a fast bite, the food wasn't anything special. read more

I'm obsessed with Fishmonger; it's one of my favorite places to grab lunch! There's a parking lot behind the strip with paid parking that's typically pretty easy to find a spot in. The inside of this place is small, but it's cute. Definitely wouldn't recommend for a large group though. The food is INCREDIBLE. We (or someone in our group) has gotten almost everything on the menu, and I've never heard someone say a negative thing about what they got. My personal favorite is the Gulf Shrimp Roll. Yes, it's expensive, but this is high quality food. read more

I brought my folks here to try something new and they loved it. My meal wasn't great but theirs was! The signature blacken fish sandwich was a hit and the daily special fish tacos were too! Full of flavor, good size portions, and very friendly staff! It's a small space but they are def worth a visit. We'll definitely be back. read more

I've been wanting to try Fiskmonger for some time! Unfortunately, the food is mid and severely overpriced!! We paid $96 for 2 fish sandwiches, 2 sides and a bowl of super watery clam chowder. I don't mind paying for good food! I was super disappointed. You are also charged 20% gratuity for someone dropping off your food! However, she was nice, friendly and helpful.. The store is super small and gets crowded quickly! But, I liked the esthetics of Resturant... They do have outside seating... read more

A hidden gem that absolutely delivers! I stopped by Fishmonger and was instantly impressed. Even though the place was packed, the staff handled the rush like pros. Friendly, efficient, and upbeat service all around. I ordered the grouper sandwich and gumbo, and both were chef's kiss. The grouper was perfectly cooked--crispy on the outside, tender inside, and full of flavor. The gumbo had a rich, bold taste with just the right amount of heat. I also tried the brown butter potatoes, and let me tell you... I devoured them. So buttery and crispy--I could've eaten a second helping. Tried a bite of the catfish sandwich too, and it's definitely another winner. Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. Even with a full house, they kept the quality high and the vibes chill. read more

Really like the concept but fell a bit short of expectations. We went to Fishmonger around 6 pm on a Saturday for what we thought would be a quick bite to eat before heading to a comedy show at PCM. There was a short wait to order at the counter and we were able to find a table with two tables outside. People don't stay here long so tables tend to turn over pretty quickly. I ordered the lobster roll, MP was $45. My bf had the fish taco special. It took a really long time for the food to come out. To the point where other diners had gotten theirs and had already left before we got ours. The lobster roll came with a coleslaw that was pretty heavy on horseradish. There was definitely $45 worth of lobster meat on it, but it was also swimming in butter. I liked that it was served Connecticut style which means no mayo/fillers and served hot. But the brioche bun plus the drawn butter was just too much. I had a bite of my bf's swordfish taco which didn't seem like anything special but he enjoyed it. It was just really expensive for what it was. We did find parking nearby, we were probably supposed to pay for it but didn't. I'm not sure that I would return. read more

The hot fish sandwich went viral this year, but the best items on the menu are the scallop crudo and blackened grouper Caesar salad! On a warm day it's the perfect meal. This location does not serve alcohol, but you can purchase next door and BYOB. The staff are friendly and inviting. Keep in mind it is a small space, not ideal for large groups. read more

STILL ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I keep coming to try everything on the menu and they also have a specials board that changes often with all their fresh catches of the day. I love anything they put on their menu. MORE FOOD: $20 BLACKENED GROUPER SANDWICH: this is their signature sandwich and it's simple but delicious. I had both hot fish sandwiches and I think I like the other one better. More flavors? Both good, just depends what you're in the mood for. $17 HOT CATFISH SANDWICH: I LOVED this sandwich more than the GROUPER one. The flavors were better. Both amazing. $22 SPECIALTY CHEF OYSTERS: these came with kiwi, which is unusual but so delicious! The crunch from the kiwi seeds were the perfect texture. I LOVED these! $18 SCALLOP CRUDO: I'm biased because scallops are my favorite and these were no different. I could order these every single time I come here. $15 SHRIMP COCKTAIL: OM MY GOODNESS! Why is everything so good here?? I wasn't expecting to love this one so much, I actually think it might've been called "ceviche" but I can't remember now. Please don't ever close. My all time favorite spot! read more

What a lovely Saturday lunch on a sunny day. Alas no more fabulous cioppino, so we had sandwiches. She had the catfish with a lovely sauce. I had the blackened grouper. After sharing bites we were each convinced that what we ordered was best. We sat outside to enjoy the sun. The young man who took the order at the cash register and then delivered it to the table was pleasant and helpful. And we enjoyed what the Spanish call the "sobremesa," the part after the meal where you sit and talk to each other "over the table" after you finish your meal. There's no better companion for a sobremesa conversation than my sweetie. (Hint: do not look at your phone. It ruins the ambience.) read more

Checked them out for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. * Blackened Grouper Sandwich: A very good sandwich -- the grouper was cooked perfectly, flavorful, and well-seasoned. I would definitely get this again. * Cucumber Salad: Personally, I prefer my cucumber salad to be a bit more sour, but it was still fresh and tasty. I'll definitely be back because I noticed several other menu items I want to try. Before I left, I overheard another customer mention that they always order the Caesar salad with grouper because it's that good -- so that's on my list for next time. Note: They also tack on an extra charge for dine-in or takeout, which I wasn't too thrilled about. The place is on the smaller side, with a few indoor tables and some seating outside on the sidewalk. I also noticed there's parking nearby, though I wasn't sure if it's a paid lot or if validation is offered. read more

This place was SO good! I had to visit after it popped up on my instagram explore page. I had never had grouper before but it was perfectly seasoned and flaky. I loved the herbs that were on the sandwich and the sauce that came on the side. I also really liked the gumbo. It was hot, and packed with veggies crawfish shrimp and andouille sausage. The woman working the cashier also came around to take peoples plates and brought people their plates, she was so sweet! read more

Soooo this place is super small and they definitely charge you a dine in fee. BUT.. it's worth it. My crab and avocado sandwich was sooo good, the only issue is it was falling apart in my hands because there was so much crab on top. I would absolutely get that sandwich again, I don't even care about market price. It was that good!!! I picked the radishes that came with it off but the rest of it was amazing. My husband came for the blackened grouper sandwich and he also said he wasn't disappointed... definitely worth the drive over there... read more

Fishmonger is a must. Small space, counter service-esuqe, European vibe. Perfect on a sunny day outside. The chef's oysters--bold, inventive. Cold foam, savory flavors, unforgettable. The hot fish sandwich--layers of flavor, not just heat. Thoughtful, complex, memorable. This place is sharp, exciting. A Bib Gourmand for good reason. I'll be back. read more

Parking is very limited. You can find limited street parking or use the parking lot for free for 15 minutes. Inside Space is pretty small. They only had 7 seats. I don't think this place has a restroom for customers. I ordered the Blackened Grouper and it is delicious. They make the food to order. The fish was fresh and fried in front of me. Pickle was decent. The mango hot sauce was a nice way to switch up the taste. The hot sauce is not too hot and adds flavor. read more

It's a small gem in the highlands. Only a few tables but I loved it. The place was very clean. They had a great menu. I ordered the blackened grouper and it was everything. Everyone has been raving about. The fish was flaky and seasoned to perfection. I love the bun. It was loaded with sesame seeds and very soft the additional things it had was dill some type of mint leaves and butter lettuce that was very crunchy. They gave you some type of green sauce it was amazing. I have no idea what it was but it made the sandwich even better. I also tried their in-house homemade hot sauce. It was good. This place was a 20 out of 10. It was excellent. You placed your order at the cashier and everyone was very nice. The person who took my order and the person who brought my order out. Service was superb. read more

We had a great meal at 2 pm on a Thursday. We sat inside and it was cute/- sort of edgy and industrial but small industrial. We had the grouper sandwhich made famous by the NYT and the Caesar salad add grouper. Next time I will ask the salad have less dressing and the grouper have less seasoning. We enjoyed it!! read more

This restaurant is considered a seafood market cafe. Focusing on high quality seafood both by the pound or you could just stay in and order from the menu. Came here close to happy hour and it was pretty busy as limited seating was available both inside and outside. We got a table on the outside as the first one available. The kiwi oysters came out first which was a little curious about it because of the kiwi but it was actually refreshingly delicious. The only downside after that was really how long it took to get the lobster roll, it took approximately 45 mins to get it since we ordered and it seemed like the wait was just as long for others I saw seated outside. Despite the way the lobster roll was really good and loaded with chunks of lobster meat. I could easily identify two claw pieces in it at minimum. The flavors coming from the roll were simply delightful. I'm not sure if I would go back based on the service in itself as it was really slow but the food was definitely enjoyable. read more

I order the Blackened Grouper sandwich almost weekly, it is the best in the city! Also, tried the shrimp roll, it is sooo delicious!!

Met a friend here for lunch. I really enjoyed everything but we felt it was too pricey for the quality of food. There's also 18% added to the total when it's really a quick service restaurant where you order at the counter. I would prefer to choose my own tip percentage at this type of restaurant. I recommend the gumbo. That was the highlight! But for one sandwich, two soups, and two waters our total was $70 read more

Initially I was deterred by the limited seating (though very charming interior), but oh my gosh they made up for it with the food. Service was great. They took great care of us. We got the scallop crudo and the blackened grouper sandwich. Both were outstanding. Definitely going back asap read more

I've tried the chowder, grouper sandwich and tuna melt. They are all fantastic. Great flavorful food! Highly recommend.

Visited Fishmonger for the first time yesterday, and it absolutely delivered. The space is tight and intimate even...the kind of spot that feels more like a neighborhood watering hole than a tourist trap. Honestly, if this place stayed open late, I could picture Anthony Bourdain posted up out front, cigarette in hand, taking it all in both his meal and the moment (God bless the dead). Now, onto the food: I had the Blackened Grouper Sandwich with half a dozen oysters on the side(why? because I can)... and every single bite was on point. The grouper was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Easily one of the best sandwiches I've had in my life. The oysters were fresh, just what you'd want to kick off a seafood meal. Can't wait to go back. read more

Fresh seafood served casually in the neighborhood- what could be better? I stopped in solo on a weekday lunch and enjoyed a couple of items from their menu on their street-side dining tables. Their caesar salad was outstandingly fresh, crunchy and citrusy, but their avocado and crab, served on crisp, buttery toast and topped with herby little sprouts, was the standout. A perfect spot for a quick, yet refined and elevated, lunch out. read more

Overrated and overpriced. I stopped in for lunch after seeing the restaurant all over tiktok. I got the blackened grouper sandwich and a bottle of water. It came up to $32! Which included the automatic gratuity for to go orders (atlanta being awful atlanta). I was hoping the sandwich would be worth the price, it wasn't. It lacked seasoning and the sauce left a lot to be desired. It also comes disassembled and the fish doesn't fit on the bun so it's just messy. Really disappointed in the influencers pushing this nonsense. I gave it 2 stars because it wasn't bad, it just wasn't good. And definitely not $30 good. read more

Used to love this place but they won't give you any oysters, crudo, or half their menu to go... despite barely having 4-5 tables. I live just a few blocks away too. No longer on our go-to list. read more

The food was delicious. I had the blackened grouper sandwich which was seasoned to perfection and the portion was more than enough. The shrimp ceviche was superb.

Been on my list forever and now they have 3 locations!. I'm so late! Anyway, this review is for the Poncey-Highland location. Wow, this place is small. They have limited seating so it's a grab and go place. The young lady was very patient with me as I decided what to order because they were out of the items I really wanted. She was nice. I opted for the gumbo. Wow! It was rich, flavorful and spicy. It was delicious. The bread was buttered and crispy just like I like it. I'll definitely stop by again to try the lobster roll and the grouper sandwich everyone is raving about. Parking is located behind the building. read more

Stopped in yesterday; a rainy off and on rather dreary day...absolutely nothing dreary about the food nor the location! We ordered 1 tuna melt and 2 hot fish sandwiches. Every single patron that ventured in was happy. We certainly were!! The ceviche looked amazing as did the chowder. Do I know seafood? I oughta. Grew up in a seafood family, summers toe and rake clamming and fishing on Cape Cod, currently enjoying seafood in Maine. Only thing missing from this restaurant? My late Uncle's book, The Shining Tides, a 1950's novel set on Cape Cod which I grabbed a copy of online and will send it for the bookshelf. Looking for a great place while visiting ATL? You won't be disappointed. Trust me! read more

I got their blackened fish sandwich. It was good but considering I had to pay an eat-in fee for an $18 sandwich, it was a little much. The restaurant itself is a little small, with only bar stool seating. I think other locations have more seating options.
