Ordered the fried shrimp po boy, fried redfish, 6 fried shrimp basket, bacon wrapped shrimp stuffed jalapeños (think they are called hula poppers) and 2 kids meals (1 was fried shrimp, 1 was chicken tender). Kids meal came in a fun boat for them. Paid around 90$ Food came out very quickly and the nice woman who took my order was very friendly and recommended the jalapeños Everything was delicious!!! The only "complaint" I have is that the larger fries that came with my fried shrimp, lacked a little flavor BUT that isn't something that couldn't be fixed with sauce/salt. Also when you are done eating, you can feed the fish if you have a few quarters to use on the little dispensing machine. *side note* tables outside can get full of bird droppings so be prepared for that. read more

Our favorite seafood restaurant. This seafood always has fresh fish, shrimp, the service is always very friendly and happy, everyone treats you like family, and they always greet us with a smile. The ambiance is unique, walls covered with pictures of customers on their fishing trips, catching fish, beautiful. I always get the whole red snapper fish with tomato sauce, peppers, olives and grilled zucchini. read more

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. read more

Flying Fish - Catfish platter - Seafood Near Me - Coppell, Texas

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??? read more

Flying Fish - Eating inside today as it was too hot outside. - Seafood Near Me - Coppell, Texas

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! read more

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. read more

Went here for crawfish since it's the season and I was a bit disappointed in the seasoning, however, if you ask they give you a side of clarified butter (ghee) which I added salt and pepper to for some extra flavor and it was delish! It came with potatoes, sausage and corn! We got some fried okra and a couple of baskets also pretty good! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Flying Fish - Grilled Rainbow Trout - Seafood Near Me - Coppell, Texas

Food is hot and fresh, a little pricey for a po boy like me but well worth the money. Food is great and the music is even better. Catfish was nice and meaty, hushpuppies delicious, and the fried oysters are literally fried oysters not those frozen string things some places try to pass off as oysters. Service was great too. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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

Flying Fish - Lobster roll- delicious! - Seafood Near Me - Coppell, Texas

Very well experience, food super fresh and hot! Can't even hold the plate, love it! Very clean restroom and lobby area.

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.

Always enjoy coming and sitting outside over looking the lake. You order at the counter and then go pick up your mail when it's ready. Staff is always quick Service is great, food is delicious. They do have a GrubHub club. You should join because you will receive a buy. One get one monthly, which really helps with the budget. I've tried many of the entrées.
