I may or may not have came here solely for t-shirt haha. But I'm glad we stopped in when we were in town. I'm a fisher so this was a cool little joint. The food was just okay, not much to say. It wasn't bad and it wasn't amazing. I think it's worth a stop if you like fishing and cool shirts and want some hush puppies and fish. read more

I love to go to the Flying Fish whenever I'm in Little Rock. It a very casual place. They offer a nice selection of seafood including fried catfish, shrimp, oysters and more. Plus fries and hush puppies. Good selection of beers and soft drinks. The restaurant is unique in that the walls are covered with hundreds of "Billy Bass" plaques! A neat place to visit for a good meal. read more

Flying Fish - Langostino Lobster Rolls, Broiled crawfish, 1/2 lb. Shrimp & 1/2 lb. Snow Crab, fried Crispy Calamari, 2 Catfish Fillets - Seafood Near Me - Little Rock, Arkansas

Flying fish was amazing all around! We ordered 2 kids meals ($6.95/each), 1 bowl of alligator queso & chips ($13.95), and the crawfish plate ($8.95). Our meals were ready pretty fast and were hot. The crawfish were the star of the show. They serve it with potatoes and a corn on the cob. It had some spice but definitely kept the Cajun flavor throughout. As someone who used to live in Louisiana, I was excited to order this and they did it just right! The kids meals were good portions for my kids-7&8. It was served with catfish, fries and a hush puppy in a cute paper boat adding a nice touch. The alligator queso was pretty tasty all around and I'm glad I tried it. The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable, it was my two sons and I who dined in today. You order first at the counter then choose your seat. Parking is street parking but very reasonable about ~$1/hour give or take. We were able to park extremely close. The only staff we encountered was the one taking our order at the stand, but very friendly and polite. I was expecting this place to be more pricey just off location and serving seafood, but they are very reasonable and you will leave satisfied. I highly recommend this place if you're checking out downtown Little Rock! I'll be coming back for more one day! read more

Little Rock AR holds some trophy restaurants that are favorites to the locals. This one came to me as a recommendation. My visit to the FLYING FISH did not disappoint. I ordered the lobster rolls to go. I needed to catch my wings for work so I needed to get this and go go. The portions were perfect and freshly tendered with a side of fresh Cole slaw and fries. Btw - You get two rolls in the special that they were running. Lobster can be tricky in cooking just right. But FF nailed it. I will be coming back to try their beloved catfish soon! It's a cool place with lots of historical photos. And..... you get to see the action of the team preparing all the orders. There was a cadence call that the team would yell in rhythm that I couldn't catch but kinda cool at the same time. I'm thinking it had to do with a certain order and placed, or maybe reaching a certain number of orders. Cool none the less. read more

I have been here twice once for lunch and then for dinner. I love this place! Great food and the style of the restaurant is exactly what you would want for a fried fish restaurant in the south. read more

The fish was cooked well but the traditional seasoning was a bit bland, the fries were crunchy, the cole slaw got a thumbs up from my sister in law. My crawfish chowder had way too many jalapeños in it. More jalapeños than crawfish. Not good. And I couldn't finish it. What I could not get over was the "banana pudding". It's like canned pudding. It's like the pudding in a nursing home. They toss 4 Nilla wafers and 2 slices of bananas and then pour the pudding over it. No whipped cream. Not good at all--unless you have never had banana pudding and don't know any better. But we are in the SOUTH. Come on. Get it together. And whoever called the banana pudding delicious in their review--I feel bamboozled. Service and vibe were okay. read more

I have not been here for a while. So, the other day, I went after lunch and before dinner, and the line was not long at all. I ordered fried calamari and fried oysters. I ALWAYS ask to have it fried soft. Mane, the calamari was fried so hard, they were tough and the oyster were also fried hard and no flavor. I was totally disappointed. The first time I had such an awful meal here as Flying Fish! read more

I ordered their special which was grilled trout with rice and bean and veggie. I really enjoyed it. It's great choice for good,quick, delicious food. The prices are very reasonable. Overall very happy with this choice. read more

Fantastic food, great service, perfect decor and ambience! Highly recommend to visitors and locals alike.

I'm a flight attendant so whenever I layover I try and find a local spot to eat and this place was yummy. The crawfish chowder alone is 5stars. The pricing was good and fair the shrimp and catfish was fried perfectly. I didn't care for the hush puppies and the coleslaw was mid. I like the cool and casual vibe. The line was long but worth the wait. You order your food at a window and then they buzz you and pick it up from the counter. The decor is very eclectic and I enjoyed that. Definitely gonna visit again next time I'm in Little Rock. read more

The Missus and I hadn't been back to FF in probably 10 years, so we showed up ready to rediscover. We took a good 5 minute perusal of the expansive menu and gravitated, like 4 year olds, to the items with the pictures. I went with the Caddo, a dish of shrimp, sprinkled on tilapia, smothered on rice. On top of this seafood stack was an incredible savory-sweet sauce that was so plentiful, if the tilapia were still alive it could have gone swimming in it. The sauce was the showstopper. Had I lacked just a shred more dignity I could have drunk it straight. I would describe it as a bit of a creole version of a Thai green curry. There is a slight kick with some chili flakes swimming about, but it's not spicy. I heard one guy switch out his tilapia for grouper, so I guess you can do that. I would also recommend adding a slice or two of bread with which to sop up the sauce. Absolutely great meal. I knock one star for the played out walls of Billy bass. Time for a refresh! read more

Flying Fish - Caddo: shrimp, tilapia, rice and d one of the greatest sauces in the world. - Seafood Near Me - Little Rock, Arkansas

I came to Arkansas for a work trip that lasted less than 24 hours so I only had the time for one good meal in Little Rock. Man oh man did I nail my choice by coming here!! Every single bite I took was phenomenal. The batters for all the various fried options were crispy to perfection and absolutely jam packet with flavorful spices. The hush puppies were moist and delicious. But my favorite dish has to be the Crawfish Chowder!! Big generous chunks of crawfish and my mouth is watering just thinking about that chowder's savory, spicy, and smoky flavor. Also I'm a huge fan of the wide selection of sauces placed on every table! The service was also super quick despite there being a good amount of people when I was there. It took me a minute to choose what I wanted from the massive menu but they were patient and kind while I ordered. The interior really makes you feel like you stumbled into a fisherman's tavern with walls covered in pictures of people's big catches and wall mounted fish! Loved the vibe and if I have to go back for another super short work trip this would 100% be the one good meal I enjoy! read more

This is jusy down the street from my hotel and the menu caught my eye on day one but after hearing a few good things from the people in my group, I headed down for dinner. It's kind of like an old diner layout, but you order at the counter and find a seat or a spot at the little bar and wait. This place has consistent business and at 7p, the line wait was 5-10 and the food wait was 10-15, and there were a ton of to go orders going out. So, expect a small wait, but they move fast. I had already set my mind on snow crab legs so that's what I got. It came with corn and two new potatoes. I also got a cup of the seafood gumbo. There are about 4 different hot sauces among other various side seasonings available at the table. The crab legs were steamed well and the water was well seasoned so the crabmeat was good even without my hot sauce/butter dipping sauce on the side. The corn and potatoes needed some extra love to them as far a seasoning goes. But the corn was plump and the potatoes were not too soft. The gumbo had shrimp and okra and for me, needed just a tad of salt, but the rice was perfectly cooked and I'd get the gumbo over and over again. Try this place out. You will not be disappointed. read more

Fresh and hot. Had the fish/shrimp basket. A large menu to choose from. Will be returning when back in Arkansas.

The food was very good, and the Billy Bass Adoption Center and Cajun friendly decor is welcoming. It's an informal place with yummy seafood. I tried the Langostino Lobster Roll, Cole slaw, and grilled zucchini. Delish! read more

Flying Fish - Langostino Lobster Roll with two sides - Seafood Near Me - Little Rock, Arkansas

If you're in the mood for fried fish, then Flying Fish in downtown Little Rock is a decent option. The batter they use to fry has more of a corn meal consistency and they do a good job of frying their fish. The corn hush puppies were flavorful and had a good fry. The fried okra was average. There are plenty of free side condiments off to the side (tartar and cocktail sauce, malt vinegar). read more

This crap is mid and very much so over priced. Had the catfish poor boy today and was not impressed. Nothing to call home over. Asked the guy to sub fries for red beans and rice. He didn't listen and insisted a pay for a whole entire new side of red beans and rice which was $5 Avoid if you can read more

As soon as you walk, walk towards the back and you order from the counter back there. The place and vibe was nice! The service was quick and the food was really good! I had never had fried catfish with a crunchy taco before, we usually eat it with a flour tortilla, but it was actually really good! Their rice and beans were delicious. We went up and ordered a second serving along with another catfish! Everything was good! read more

Food was great with a southern flavor throughout. Portions are huge and we could not eat it all. Thank you.

Food and service was excellent. I especially enjoyed the grilled catfish (garlic butter style) with the grilled vegetables.

The catfish jambalaya was awesome! Great flavor and the fish was fried perfectly. Second time visiting and I would return!

They should get their hours correct on delivery apps. They constantly close at least an hour before they say.

Ugh! Ignore the stars...this place has some charm but the food is terrible! Crawfish had zero seasoning. Zero. $15 shrimp poboy is hoagie bread, five shrimp, one tiny piece of lettuce, and they "don't have any mayo". Should be ashamed to call it a poboy. Had to beg for utensils. Don't waste your time; overhyped and overpriced. read more

No. Was told this was the perfect southern experience. Totally on board with the ambience and order in line and get called up for your meal. But the fish and oysters tasted like mud and were overfried. Particularly the oysters were gross. The shrimp was the same plus it tasted like iodine. The cole slaw was mediocre at best and fries also burnt. The fried pickles sounded amazing but were salty beyond belief. No. Just no. And there was no warmth in the service except for the sweet woman who was cleaning up. Meh. No. read more

It can get quite crowded at this Little Rock establishment, so come prepared to wait! This place cranks out great food quickly, although the relaxed atmosphere encourages people into linger and enjoy their meals. On my last visit I had oysters, oysters, oysters. And a shrimp cocktail. The oysters were cold, briny, and delicious. The shrimp cocktail was not too sweet and loaded with crustaceans! What makes the meal good is the daunting amount of condiments at the tables. They have everything you could possibly want with your meal. Anything not at the tables that must be kept cold - amply kept by the registers. The service at the register is all business and brevity - but they have a line to keep moving and an amazing restaurant to run. I can't wait for my next trip here. read more

Read about this restaurant in one of the places to eat articles about Little Rock. So when passing through during a road trip we made this one our lunch stop. The place is quite lively and plastered all over with memorabilia. There was a long line to order so we knew we were in the right place. We ordered the special gator sandwich and grilled catfish with vegetables. Everything was delicious and the portions were generous. Service was ok. read more

Disclosure: the only dish I ordered was the crawfish soup, so this review is strictly on that and the decor of the restaurant. First impression when I walked in was, "so this is why my friend said to go fishing in Arkansas!" Billy Bass decked out on every wall and it was amazing! I love how anyone can donate their Bass for a free meal. Totally worth it IMO, because then you get to see it every time you visit the place. I would do it if I had one... As for the crawfish, I'd give it a 10/10. It was creamy, rich, had a great kick, and packed with seafood. After finishing, I wished I got the bowl instead of the cup. Will have to come back to try their other fried items. read more
