    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.

    What a pleasant surprise stumbling upon Flying Fish while in Cypress waters! Friendly service, reasonable prices and fresh tasty food; the red snapper was stellar! Add the nice deck vibe on the water and you have the perfect afternoon lunch or dinner. I'm definitely be back!

    Eating inside today as it was too hot outside.

    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???

    Brownie a la mode

    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

    Grilled Redfish

    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.

    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!

    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.

    My standard go to over the years at any Flying Fish location. Fried Shrimp, Catfish and French fries
    Guy H.

    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!

    fish tacos, shrimp skewers, side salad - not the best
    Jennifer Y.

    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.

    Arun P.

    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!

    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.…

    So good!! The mild house sauce is delicious and not spicy enough to leave a tingle in your mouth,…read morebut full of flavor. The shrimp and snow crab legs were our favorites. The lobster tail was a bit tough and overcooked, which is a waste. Mussels were good too. Garlic noodles were not our favorite. Corn and potatoes are good, but they're a bit stingy about it only giving you one of each. When your seafood boil is $70+, you should get more than one of each. The flavors linger in your mouth for a bit. It lingered for almost 2 days for me, but would definitely return!

    Went to Capt Loui for lunch and had mixed feelings about the experience. The food itself was great…read more The crab was fresh, well-seasoned, and definitely the highlight of the visit. Unfortunately, the service was questionable. Our server had difficulty communicating in English, which led to a costly misunderstanding. When we ordered crab, she never asked what type of crab we wanted and instead assumed king crab, which is significantly more expensive than other options. As a result, our bill was much higher than expected. To make matters worse, a 20% gratuity was automatically added to the bill without it being mentioned to us beforehand. While restaurants may choose to add gratuity in certain situations, customers should be clearly informed so there are no surprises. My advice: enjoy the food, but be very specific when ordering. Confirm exactly what type of crab you're getting, verify the pricing, and check your bill carefully. Also remember that gratuity should be clearly communicated and not assumed. Better communication would have made this a much better overall experience.I'd rate it 2.5 out of 5 stars. Great food, but the service and communication issues took away from the experience.

The spicy seasoning with the shrimp and crab was amazing. Not overly fake butter tasting with a comfort spice level for me and plenty of good flavor besides the spice. The corn, egg, and potatoes were a little overcooked but they were still superbly seasoned. My partner's krab platter was a little less impressive, only because the lemon pepper seasoning was weaker than we would like. If it had come with some lemon wedges, we would have been over the moon. We will likely be returning!

This may just be me, but my sauce didn't taste like much other than pepper. I was expecting more lemon taste, even more butter taste, and the sauce I got did not deliver. The sausage was also meh. However, I enjoyed the corn, potatoes, and the crab was so well cooked that it came out in big chunks almost every time. I also felt like I got good value. The atmosphere felt just a tad dingy and we did wait a LONG time for our food, nearly an hour. So while I enjoyed my meal to an okay degree, I don't feel the largest inkling to return. I felt a very large letdown with the sauce I chose. My bf on the other hand noted that he would be interested in coming back and trying something else.

We have been to tons of restaurants in that area and snoozed on Razoo's. We've gone to Pappadeaux in both Grapevine and Dallas many times to get our "Cajun" fix. Yesterday, on a whim, we decided to change course and go to Razoo's for a late lunch. We had an amazing experience from the greeting (Austin) to the service (Avery). The restaurant was clean with a fun, authentic NOLA energy (New Orleans native here, so I've grown up with that energy). The food was so good, and the variety on the menu was extensive compared to our experience with other Cajun places. The hurricane drink was really good and was strong enough to feel relaxed after one. I was the driver, so I only got a taste.
