I've been to Flying Fish before but hadn't been in a while. I decided to go with a friend on a Friday for lent. She got the whole Tilapia and I got the fried shrimp platter. My fried shrimp were large and were tasty but could have been a little more seasoned. I'd say it was a 3.5 out of 5. I tasted her whole fried tilapia. The tilapia was fresh, flaky, perfectly fried, and well seasoned. I will get the whole fried tilapia next time. It was delicious. It was a 4.5 out of 5. We washed it all down with tasty frozen margaritas. The service was good and the ambiance was casual and a fun easy family environment. Overall a good experience and a great spot for lent or fish Friday.
I had the shrimp boil and gumbo soup. The food was amazing. I highly recommend this experience if you want a variety of different seafood options.
The food is pretty good and the water and coastal vibe really makes it a nice place to eat and talk. I'd rather have chairs outside instead of benches but they do have umbrellas. You place your order and they give you a pager to alert when it's ready for pickup. Questions: Do we really need to tip an order handler? Doesn't an employer pay employees any more???
You cannot beat the view at this location!! Its incredibly beautiful on the back patio overlooking the park. Parking is not good but its worth it to eat incredible seafood, sip iced tea and watch the sunset on that patio on a cool fall day. My cousin and I ordered a lot of food because we were so hungry. I got the seafood platter, fried fish basket, two appetizers, lobster rolls and the brownie a la mode. Everything was so yummy! Service is always good since you typically order then pick up your food. Definitely recommend this place!
Flying Fish at Cypress Waters is a casual seafood restaurant with an epic view of Northlake. When the weather is nice, dining on the patio at the Flying Fish will fool you into thinking you're on vacation in another state. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Flying fish has a casual, fun, marine feel. The restaurant sits on the edge of Northlake, and the view on a pretty day is amazing. Inside there is plenty of seating, and the entrance will lead you to the line to place your order. You may also spot Big Mouth Billy Bass on the wall, too. 1 Star. Service - The service is great for a quick service restaurant. You place your order, give them your name, and wait for them to call you. The staff were nice, helpful, smiling, and best of all efficient. Even though our line appeared long, it moved quickly. 1 Star. Food - First the good - I ordered a Nashville Hot Catfish Sandwich. It was exactly how I imagined it would be. The fried catfish was hot and tender. The "Nashville Hot" part of the sandwich was a tangy sauce, which is a good move considering how delicate fish can be. In the end, it worked out great for me as the sandwich provided a satisfying tangy bite that was cooled by lettuce and bun. I also ordered the Mexican Cocktail. Served in a big, chilled goblet with shrimp and avocado, it was a beautiful site. Unfortunately for me, the cocktail sauce was ketchup based and I wasn't a fan. I prefer this dish at similar DFW restaurants. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. Flying Fish is in my rotation during two yearly events: Fall when the weather is nice and the patio is amazing, and during Lent when I can't eat meat on Fridays. Yes, I will be back. 1 Star.
We had a family lunch here over the weekend and it was a great and fun time. Very family friendly. The food was good overall and the views were very pretty. It's tucked away in a nice little area. Staff was very friendly. We will definitely be back
What a great find! Great location and food at really good prices! I visited this restaurant in Dallas while on business. It serves seafood and fish dishes in a casual atmosphere. You order at counter and sit either inside or outdoors. We sat outdoors to enjoy the lake view this particular location offered. The lady behind the counter was very helpful at explaining their wide food selection. I chose catfish basket with fried okra and beer. The fish was fresh and well seasoned, it came with a hefty portion of fries and fried okra as well as a salad! Oh my! Delicious! Awesome views! Perfect! I truly enjoyed my time at Flying Fish!
Location End of restaurant row, The Sound, Cypress Waters area-north west of Dallas and Irving Parking Large lot, street, garage with charging station Atmosphere Retro fish camp-50's style chairs, open deck Pictures of customers fishing. One wall with adopt a billy trout fish! Seating Low tables, outside deck with picnics tables over looking the lake Service Friendly-Order at counter, given a buzzer,pick up order at counter. Self serve fountain drinks and tea-beer and margaritas. Menu Happy hour 2-7pm. Ask about specials. Trout, rainbow trout, catfish, shrimp, tilapia, poorboy sandwiches, appetizers, kids menu. Extensive menu on wall. We had the rainbow trout, grilled served with lemon slice, with grilled veggies-zucchini and yellow squash- and red beans/ rice. Excellent! Huge piece of fish. Grilled veggies were perfect! A variety of hot sauces on the table. Table clean up service very attentive. Summary Fun fishing themed restaurant with friendly and efficient counter service-outstanding fish menu with many options, happy hour, and specials!! Great dinner!!
Good food in a relaxed, clean, and fun environment. Order and pick up at the counter. I like that not all of the options are breaded and deep-fried. I enjoyed my grilled redfish with chimichurri sauce. The beans, rice, and sautéed veggies are great complements. We also had crawfish for the first time. They were a bit too spicy and too much work for me, but my husband enjoyed them. We tried the Plano location too, but I preferred the more relaxed pace and waterfront setting of Copell.
Flying fish always does a Memorial Day special on crawfish. I have been on more than one occasion, though always at the Arlington location. This was my first time at this spot. It is closer to home and has a lovely view! I should have just driven out to Arlington. Ordering is easy, you go to the counter and they give you a little buzzer when your order is ready. It is pretty no fuss. I ordered the crawfish special, 4lbs with corn and potatoes. I took my seat and waited in anticipation. I picked up my order and took it back to the table to tuck in. It was steaming hot, but there was no visible sign of seasoning. Also, I have had crawfish on a few occasions this season, and these were SMALL. No matter, let's go! There was NO discernible seasoning on the crawfish. Even sucking the head, I know that sounds terrible, you could pick up a hint of lemon, but nothing else. I have NEVER encountered bland crawfish before. Not ever. I would have told you that wasn't a thing. But here we were. After going through about ten of them I finally had to go to the counter to ask for a cup of seasoning so I could douse it myself. They obliged. It helped. Even the vegetables had nothing to them, if they were boiled in anything other than water, you would expect a potato to pick it up, nothing. There were two corn, one was shriveled up and sad and the other was half frozen. The side laying on the hot boiled crawfish picked up some residual heat, but again no seasoning. I even went back to photos on the Arlington yelp page and you could see them seasoned and delicious. This isn't a flying fish issue, this is a location issue. Maybe they had their B team working on Memorial Day. Next time I will just drive a bit farther and go on down to Arlington. The boil was well done, the seasoning was non-existent. Also people were clearing the tables outside, themselves. No one bothered to come out there so they were just piling plates and such on the same two tables so they could enjoy the outdoors. It wasn't very busy when I came in. And no one cleared those outdoor tables while I was there. You spend all that money to put a location against the water, you should make sure people can take advantage of the view.
You just gotta love Flying Fish. I'm usually not a fan of the drummed up, artificial kitchy environment but, in this case I'll make an exception. They've done a fantastic job of sourcing old fish camp relics and artifacts and using just enough to give the vibe of an old place on the water. As always,this location is serving up hot,fresh tasty helpings of oysters, catfish,shrimp, redfish,gumbo etc. at good prices ,in a casual relaxed fun environment. No reason to do anything except... Go!
The prices were actually pretty decent when we were looking over the menu so I was pleasantly surprised .. that is until we got our food. We got the fish tacos and shrimp skewers. They were both barely ok when it came to flavor but on the bland side. The fish tacos were super not appetizing looking and tasting. The corn shells were super soggy by the time I got my first bite and I didn't even dilly dally either. I got straight to business as I was quite hungry when we got our food and yet it was still falling apart. The shrimp skewers had a handful or so of shrimp on them and they were not properly deveined. This made them a bit unappetizing to eat and look at. Their beans and rice side was inedible due to an odd smell. It tasted like they bad been sitting in rancid beer before being served up on our dish. We did have a side salad and that was pretty nice and a good sized portion. But that is just about all I can say that is good about our food here. There is plenty of parking. The view of the little pond here was nice out on the patio. Service wasn't that great. The cashier lady wasn't a very friendly person.

The restaurant overlooks the lake and has amazing views from the patio. They also have indoor seating. It's a self-serve restaurant - you place the order at the counter, get your buzzer and pick up the order when it's ready. The staff are friendly and willing to help. Food is just average. The crawfish boil was a disappointment. Will not recommend it. The rest of the food was not bad. Parking can be tricky during busy hours. Pricing is moderate. If you are looking for a place to chill out with a view, have a few drinks and eat some snacks, this is the right place for you! read more

A really decent meal at a great price with happy hour beers even on the weekend... although "normal" beer prices are pretty good too! Nice casual atmosphere on the "lake". Outdoor patio seating if weather cooperates. The gumbo wasn't my personal favorite but I know a lot that love it. It DID have a good amount of tasty shrimp in it! read more
This is next to my work office and I tried it for the first time the other day with a few coworkers. I ordered the lobster roll and it comes with fries and coleslaw. It was delicious! I definitely want to come back and try their other menu items. The decor inside is charming. The place is right next to the lake and has both indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant was quiet and the cashier was friendly! read more

I have a decently strong stomach so when I say it took everything not to vomit when I bit into this oyster, it means something. We eat oysters regularly when traveling (raw, fried, grilled) and am familiar with what to expect, so when I took it up to the counter and was met with laughter from two men telling me that's "just how oysters are", I wasn't thrilled. I was told the rest would be fine to eat, I said there was no way I was eating them and they offered to throw them away. That was it, no offer to even refund the item. I emailed corporate, no response. I completely get that sometimes things happen, but the terrible reaction from the staff has ended our eating with this company. read more

I went to the restaurant on a whim on a Friday early evening. I ordered a simple meal: salmon, rice, and seafood gumbo. Perhaps I was mistaken, but the seafood gumbo was more of a shrimp gumbo. It was still good of course. The salmon was also tasty. I was greeted kindly by the cashier. The restaurant interior was well decorated. Is it the best seafood I have ever had in the Dallas area? No. But I do not think anyone expects that. Nevertheless, the food was still good and I will return. read more

Great place for lunch or happy hour. They have a patio that looks out on the lake which is perfect for nice sunny days. When it's not, there is ample seating inside. I've gotten the seafood basket before and shrimp tacos. Seafood basket was good but ended up feeling too fried/heavy for me. My go to is the shrimp tacos. They actually give a good amount of shrimp! It comes with 3 crispy shell tacos, pico de gallo, and rice and beans. Add Louisiana hot sauce and delish! They also have a good happy hour that's $1 off margaritas and draft drinks from 2-7pm M-F. There is a parking lot in front. Easy to park when off hours, but can be hard to find parking during peak times. If you don't find a spot in the lot, there is street parking nearby. Then if that is full, free parking garage across with entry on Bleeker Street. read more

We wanted to grab lunch somewhere new and I'm always in the mood for fish. This location has a water view and plenty of outdoor seating which is pretty wonderful. We ordered the 2 piece catfish fillets baskets. My daughter and granddaughter went with the French fries with theirs but I subbed for grilled zucchini and squash. It isn't seasoned at all, simply grilled. I enjoyed it but definitely wouldn't have minded seasoning. At the tea station there's also lemonade right next to it which made me pretty happy. It's a nice area, nice view and good food. read more

I was so disappointed that the fish was thin & very small. It was most crispy batter. I mentioned it to the cashier & she said 'hun (another mistake), its 2 to 4 oz.' I said but this is all crispy batter.. She ignored me. I do not recommend d the food or service. read more

What does it mean to order grilled fish "snappy"?
It's a spicy rub they put on the fish. Similar to blackened. Thx.
Do they take reservations?
I don't think so. It is an order, seat yourself, and pickup restaurant. There are no waiters.…
