My son and I ordered a lot of seafood because good real seafood is hard to find where we live. I ordered side vegetables and only wanted corn and eggs but got other veggies also. Over all the place was clean and very nice. The alcohol drinks were great. Our waitress was good but was hard to get her attention for refills on drinks and tools for the seafood. I wasn't satisfied with the fact that my son and I got our food and our birthday girl had to wait and wait awhile for her meal. Food should come out together not having her watch us eat. But the waitress fixed the issue for her inconvenience.

Coastal Fish Company is always a great spot for a romantic night out or a great dinner experience…read more For starters, we had the NOLA oysters, and they are probably my favorite oysters in Memphis. I love the sauce, and you can definitely tell the oysters are fresh. Next, we had the steak and mashed potatoes -- the steak was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The lobster bisque was my starter, and it was honestly one of the best I've had in a while. The only small disappointment was the dessert , pineapple upside down cake. It seemed a little overcooked because it had a slightly burnt taste at the bottom. Overall, the service is always 10/10, and I'd give the food a solid 9/10. Definitely one of my favorite places in Memphis for a quality dining experience. i'd like to come back again and watch the sunset from the patio.

I came to Coastal Fish Company for a special occasion after wanting to try it for years, and…read morehonestly the experience was really disappointing--especially the service. Our server was barely attentive to our table. She went around checking on other tables near us, but hardly came to ours at all. The only time she really interacted with us was when she brought the check. No follow-up, no asking how the food was, no drink refills--nothing. It honestly felt like we were overlooked the entire time. To make things worse, she wasn't even the one who brought out our food. Someone else dropped it off, and after that we were basically on our own. For a restaurant at this price point, I expected much more attentive and professional service. The food didn't make up for it either. I ordered the Chilean sea bass, and it was very underwhelming. The fish lacked flavor, the potatoes were soggy, and overall it just wasn't enjoyable. Definitely not what you expect for the price. Overall, between the inattentive service and the disappointing food, the experience just didn't live up to the hype at all.

They have updated the restaurant and its furnishings which is wonderful. All of the chairs have nice cushion seating. My husband had the fish and chips and throughly enjoyed it. We shared the bacon glazed chili Brussels sprouts which had an excellent flavor. We would have liked for them to have been cooked a little longer and sliced a little smaller, but the flavor was amazing, they were just a tad tougher than we like. I had the two taco combo with grilled zucchini . I t is a huge portion as it comes with two large pieces of zucchini along with the generously filled tacos. I loved the piri piri chicken taco and the grilled shrimp was good, but nothing spectacular. Both of the flour shells were a little crispy which was odd, but overall I enjoyed my meal. I dipped my zucchini in the lemon herb piri piri sauce which is excellent! Give them a try if you are ever in the area. They have several grilled fish options along with sandwiches and salads to choose from.

Great food! Everything was quite tasty. The service was great!…read more A large group left the restaurant and it took more than 45 minutes for someone to clean it up. There weren't that many customers in during this time and I saw quite a few waiters that could have cleaned it up. Maybe I'm a bit of a prude - when I eat out, I'd prefer not to see dirty dishes on empty tables when I'm walking to/from the laboratory. Regardless, I will be returning next time I'm in Memphis. One more comment - when I used to live in Memphis (maybe 5 years ago?) this restaurant had a piano player some nights. This was AWESOME !!! Any chance of bringing that back??? That piano player made the place SO SPECIAL compared to other restaurants. It was the perfect blend of a good meal in a nice environment with a magnificent musician demonstrating their talents. Always kinda felt magical in a manner of speaking

As an international traveling food critic and unbeknownst to the staff, the following is what I…read moreexperienced: - We arrived at 11:10 for an 11:15 reservation and it was clear that the management did not plan for ample staff nor were the scheduled staff in position ready to serve prior to their 11 o'clock opening. - Our waiter, Matthew was very pleasant, but it took him over seven minutes for his first visit to our table. He was then subsequently also tasked with an entire conference room full of people to serve. - When our food did finally come out, it was lukewarm and the appetizer arrived when the rest of our meal arrived, 47 minutes after we arrived. --- Total miss management of staffing!!! - Also, they are cutting back on the size of the meatballs now, which used to be a favorite. We'll think twice about returning here!

How in the gash darn hell have I not written a review for The Half Shell Memphis?!?!?…read more I've been coming here since birth. Ok. Maybe not that long. Most definitely since I can remember. My parents had the blandest worst taste for food, so I was a depraved child as far as flavor was concerned. We ate at very blah places and my Mom was the pickiest person in the world, but.... She loved this fried shrimp! So we came here often. I grew up in Parkway Village so we were always nearby. Fast forward to my Yelp days. My first CM, Joelle had a part ownership of this place when I first started Yelping. We even had her going away party here when Yelp ruined the Memphis Elite Program with part time CM's for our city. She was part owner and we hung out there so it seemed inappropriate to write a review. Besides, I knew Danny pretty well too and that was also a conflict. Nowadays it's been bought by the folks that turned Forrest Hill Grill around. They have closed the location on Winchester (which I called years ago) and opened up in Germantown on Poplar. I have no idea who these people are so I guess it's time. I have not been to the new one, but I have seen the menu. I do not have any intentions of rushing to try it. Seems as if they butchered the whole dang menu. Anywho.... I still like this one. It's pretty run down, but the food is still good. It's still the original menu with all the treats. They have a freaking Monte Cristo sandwich folks! I know of less than five places left that still serve them. When is the last time you saw a twice baked potato? Here it is!! They still have a changing weekly, "daily special". They still have an intense regular bar business. Good luck getting a seat at the bar at any given time. Best of all they still have those damn tasty fried shrimp! Oh they are so good! The best ever man. The sauces they serve are great. I've been up and down the menu and it's almost always great. Oysters are some of the best charbroiled that there are anywhere in Shelby County. Long live OG Half Shell! Please never change! '25 - 44/111

Crawfish season is coming, and this is hands down my favorite spot in Memphis: Ellis Seafood!…read more They have the best crawfish in town! Big, juicy, fresh, and always perfectly seasoned. The owner is super nice and even remembers our usual order and preferred flavor, which makes it feel extra special. Must try: ! Corn nuggets (crispy, slightly sweet, so good) ! Fried catfish (crispy and flavorful) ! Crawfish (less salt, garlic butter, 3lb is my routine, 5lb if I'm not on diet) During crawfish season, I could honestly eat here every week and never get tired of it. Tip for serious crawfish lovers: I've heard my friend said Thursdays may be the time they restock crawfish.
