Catfish Fillet 4 Shrimp / 1 Catfish Fillet
Adrianna E.

Great food !! Southern fried catfish was perfectly light and crispy! I am so happy I stopped in after a long day at work and tried this special spot based off plenty of recommendations! I love walked across the street to avoid any parking issues and I definitely needed to walk some of this delicious food off!! The shrimp was also delicious and the options were endless!! I wanted to try the whole Menu but will have to wait until I'm back This way!! I liked the vibe and atmosphere, decent price point and you will not leave hungry!!

Cajun Platter and Oysters

Flying fish is always tasty. The Fort Worth location is very popular so it can get pretty crowded in here. I love getting a fried catfish basket here. Flying fish is always reliable, everything is always fresh tasting. Definitely recommend!

This restaurant was recommended by a couple people that were at our hotel upon entry. Upon entry; You can tell that the crowd is diverse and you wait in line to place your order. I ordered the pound of snow crabs, barbecue shrimp plate, Alligator nuggets, and shrimp and fish basket. The barbecue shrimp were pretty good. The alligator nuggets were good as well. The shrimp and fish basket - not so much, but I think it is more geared towards your taste. It is all cooked in meal, so very gritty, but not very seasoned. the snow crabs were just there, because they weren't seasoned with anything. they were very plain and then they came with a side of butter. overall, it's just not my type of restaurant. I don't think I would go back.

I can always count on Flying Fish for great tasting & quality food anytime I go. They have a variety of grilled and fried seafood plates, full of old favorites as well as some items unique to them. This restaurant has been a favorite amongst our family for years and it looks like it always will be.

Ceviche
Lenee L.

You enter into a line to order, which is fast and efficient. You get your drink and find a table. The seats were very comfortable and tables clean. I had the Caddo and it was absolutely amazing. I'm not usually a tilapia fan but it was a thick perfectly cooked filet with grilled jumbo shrimp on top with a delicious Cajun cream sauce. The ceviche was one of the best we've had. Very fresh and light. Red fish was equally delicious and a healthier option. Highly recommend!

Our first time at the Fish. So delicious. The gulf ousters and fried fish were so good. The Sunday oyster special is perfect. Everything was crispy and delicious. We will be back again and again.

Delicious seafood found here! TIP: When you enter, keep walking straight (through the glass-paned doors) then left to the counter to order/pay, get your coaster before picking a table, & your coaster will vibrate & flash when your order is ready to pickup. So many platter & poboy (aka sandwich) options. Fish fans will be happy (prepared grilled or fried) w/snapper, redfish, catfish, etc. Also, you can enjoy shrimp, oyster, gator, frog legs, hot chicken, & burgers. Fountain drinks, tea, lemonades (including adult versions w/Tito's), & beers (bottled, draft, or can). Decor is fish shake sheik ;-) Gingham-topped tables/booths. Fish & fishing gear everywhere. Special shout-out for the "Liars'' Wall" - photos of people who caught prize fish... love that!

Whole tilapia with spinach side.
Adele Q.

My husband and I went for an early dinner. We walked in and immediately went to the counter and ordered our food and drinks. You get a buzzer to take to your table and it alerts you when your food is ready to be picked up. Everyone was pleasant and efficient. I ordered the whole fried tilapia and my husband got the catfish and shrimp basket. The fish was cooked perfectly, crunchy outside but still moist inside. Both were very good. French fries and spinach sides were also good. If you join their grub club you will get a coupon each month. We had a buy one entree get one free which was nice. We will be back.

Shrimp and crab boil
Denneane C.

No pretentiousness here. Great down home food like your grandma would make if your grandma lived on the water. And your folks were fishermen. Fried pickles were excellent too! Order at the counter in a relaxed, family friendly atmosphere. Very reasonably priced too! Counter help were very friendly and helpful. We will be back

Crawfish
Elizabeth N.

First time we stopped by I was a bit surprised on the way you order and felt a little rushed, however, their process is fast and convenient! You place your order and then you find a seat and wait for your food! The food here is amazing! We stopped by on a Friday and went back the next day to try more food! They serve their beers in a very cold glass!!! The oysters were fresh and crawfish was spicy! So much flavor! The grilled redfish was tasty and served with vegetables and red beans and rice! All so good! The okra was also lightly salted and served with ranch! We will definitely be regulars here!

4 Shrimp / 2 Catfish Fillets
Tania L.

While on a work trip in Fort Worth, the hotel front desk recommended Flying Fish, so we decided to give it a try. When you walk in, the smell is amazing--you can really catch the aroma of the seasoning, which had me excited for the meal. The service was prompt, and our food came out quickly. The restaurant itself was clean and well-maintained. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the initial impression. The gator nuggets were overcooked, dry, and lacked seasoning. The shrimp and catfish were fried well, but they also had no real flavor, which was disappointing. Overall, it was an okay experience, but I was hoping for more in terms of seasoning and taste.

Went for the biscuits, but our very wise waitress, Adriana, warned us that the biscuits were made with lard. Well that knocked out a bunch or breakfast options. She was so sweet and actually went to the kitchen and marked the menu pointing out lard-free menu choices. On the menu. Using black ink dots. Above and beyond. So we regrouped our breakfast plans and went mainly vegetarian. The Herbivore was absolutely delicious! Antebellum cheese grits topped with garlicky kale, romanesco and a soft boiled egg. We added a second egg. Split with my hubby. So good!! My sister-in-law had the brioche French toast. French toast topped with honey better, fresh berries and pecan granola. Served with maple syrup. Amazing! Added the duck fat breakfast potatoes. Who knew that the flavor would be so enhanced with the onions, peppers and duck fat. Get this side! Not a coffee drinker, but my hubby really enjoyed the coffee that is sourced from Cusco, Peru. Adriana made sure that the cups were always full and hot. Thank you for the VIP service at Fixe Southern House. Resident discount applied. Born from Opelousas, Louisiana, breakfast served with a huge helping of southern hospitality.

We started with the biscuits and cinnamon roll. I would recommend both. The biscuits came with a jam, honey and whipped butter. The cinnamon roll, which may look a bit underwhelming had a such a great crispy texture on the outside while still being fluffy on the inside. The icing wasn't too sweet and complimented the roll nicely. For the table, we had the pollo frito biscuit w/duck fat potatoes, Brisket Benedict w/okra and the Fixe Breakfast entree w/maple sausage and potatoes. The pollo Frito was delicious, the chicken was seasoned well and maintained crunch even within the biscuit. Duck fat potatoes were also good but were even better after adding some salt. The brisket benny was okay, the texture of the brisket was very odd and didn't really hold up to the egg. Although the okra had a great flavor the batter was a bit too thick which made it chewy. The Fixe breakfast was great and the maple sausage was perfect. Our waitress was Adriana, she was great and very helpful. Overall we would definitely come back and look forward to trying dinner one night.

They are located on a corner and parking is limited. I found street parking on the side street, about a block down in front of a house. We walked inside Gus's about 11:30 am on a Wednesday. They were busy' but had a number of open tables. There are mostly square and rectangular 4-top tables. We chose one by the front windows. A moment after we sat down, our server, Joe K came by to greet us and he took our drink order. Menu's are at the table, so we studied a bit and were ready for Joe when he brought our drinks. I ordered: - Unsweetened Iced Tea - 3 Piece Dark Chicken Plate (my choice: leg, leg, thigh) with Greens and BBQ Beans My wife ordered: 2 Piece White Chicken Plate (breast, wing) with Mac-Cheese and BBQ Beans The chicken was the star for sure. The BBQ Beans weren't special but were decent. The Greens, decent. With each meal plate, the chicken is served on a slice of white bread. The chicken was fried to a deep brown and was real tasty. My dark meat was juicy and tender. My wife's white meat was drier but normal for white meat. My wife's felt the chicken skin was maybe overcooked as it was tough. It was fine to me. I ate her skin :) We'll be back to Gus's!

Weird combination, I know , but it was my cheat day! My granddaughter had chicken and waffles, and my daughter had beef tips and rice. Yes, I tasted everybody's food and everything was delicious! I'm giving 4 stars because the service needs a little more organization and training. When we walked in, my daughter asked a petite young lady how long the wait would be, and unfortunately, her response came across as unprofessional with a bit of an attitude. Even while taking our order, some of her responses didn't reflect a team-oriented attitude. When one person looks good, the whole team looks good--and when one person doesn't, it reflects on everyone. I don't hold that against the young lady; in my opinion, she simply needs more training and guidance for her role. One of Ms. Nana's friends even got up in her church clothes to help sweep. She later went home, changed, came back, and immediately started helping--that's a friend! I also LOVE that some of the staff are part of a second-chance organization!

I am…read moregiving a very generous 4 star review mainly because of the woman who was plating all the food behind the counter and because this place is a soul food spot not southern. I came here today a little after 5pm and did not get a greeting like everyone else did when I walked into the door. They were pretty busy with to go orders around this time. There is an entrance area where you order and pay for your food and a separate area for dining in. I ordered a catfish fillet with Mac n cheese and sweet potatoes and fried shrimp basket with fries and greens to go. I ordered at 5:15 and got my food at 5:45 and let me tell you, it was the longest wait of my life. I think the A/C must've been broken because it was hot in the waiting area and it didn't help that one of the front desk girls kept complaining about them still being open for another hour. There were a bunch of flies everywhere and the front area doesn't seem to be cleaned throughout the day. I also feel for the woman who puts the plates together because she's doing it by herself and was constantly asking the front desk girls to bag the orders. She stayed calm though and still greeted people as they were coming in. Now for the food. The shrimp basket was $25.99 and the catfish was $19.99. The shrimp was good, kids approved. The catfish was good too. All the food was made fresh to order so I can appreciate that for quality. Onto the sides. I think the French fries were accidentally season with sugar instead of salt. The greens were ok, just drenched with garlic. The Mac n cheese, ehhh. I was looking forward to the Mac n cheese but it wasn't as cheesy as I was expecting but tasted ok. The sweet potatoes were really good, probably my favorite side out of the four. The cornbread was moist and good. Overall, food was good but definitely overpriced. However, I do support small businesses but still think it's a bit overpriced based on portion size. They do require you pay for your food before you sit down if you are dining in. This may be because of too many incidents where people dine and dash. I do think that the lady behind the counter putting the plates together needs better help. No offense to the young girls they have working there but either train them or get someone who can actually do the job. If you are looking for true southern food, this ain't it. Texas food vs. southern food are 2 completely different things which I am learning the hard way now having lived here for a year.

When we entered the establishment, I looked around and saw not one Black/African-American person. The amount of the minorities I could count on my hand. I am originally from the Arlington/Grand Prairie area, a bit of a melting pot, so I rarely experience being the only Black person in the room. Upon entering, I instantly felt a bit uncomfortable. Nonetheless we were seated at a corner booth right next to a group of four. Although I felt uncomfortable, I could see that my best friend (white) still wanted to dine there, even after I pointed out that we weren't in the most formal attire (among other reasons). I decided to suck up my grievances and give the food a try. Don't get me wrong, the meal was great, if I looked past the slight fear of something in it. I applaud the waiter for giving us the best service, he did a great job. Now, here's the kicker. As we were eating our food, two older white ladies arrive, and they are seated right next to us, right next to me. One of the ladies goes back and forth with the hostess about the location of the seating. I didn't want to be nosy, so I wasn't exactly listening to their dialogue. Eventually, instead of right next to me, they were seated at a different table, and served. The next group of people, white as well, were then seated a couple of seats away from us. This is all really just speculation. As we left the restaurant, I saw two Black people. A runner, and a patron. Both lighter than a paper bag. Overall the waiter and the food were both exceptionally excellent, however, I do not see myself coming back in the near future.

The greens were perfectly cooked, as well - soft, but not overcooked into mush, and they had a great flavor. Only thing I didn't really like was the mac & cheese - it was a little bland.
