Food was served within time frame that was given it was served hit and presented in a very appealing manner, it was delicious well worth the reasonable price. It was an all around great experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this place

We were given a thermocol plate with a plastic fork. The server did not even remove the steaming boil from its plastic bag. The seafood was served wrapped in plastic. When we asked for crab crackers, we were told they didn't have any and were handed plastic scissors instead. The server also never offered a beverage menu, which is standard at other outlets. The two stars are entirely for the taste of the food. Actually eating it was a nightmare. I would not return, and I would not recommend this place to anyone, primarily on safety grounds.

I swear everytime I've gone into a fish place recently they've all been out of catfish, but luckily…read morenot today! This black owned business has above average standing room in the waiting area, two TVs and an ATM with a good amount of seats/benches. Seems like it might've been an old chinese food joint with a few tables, but they opted for a pure takeout experience (which is unfortunately the trend nowadays.) Since it was my first time I thought I'd try both the fish and chicken combo along with the dirty rice. The total came out to be $24 with the wait being about 15 minutes. The staff overall were nice.      After leaving the place and checking the food. I realized that the combo dinner didn't contain a roll and coleslaw like advertised which was kind of disappointing. It did have the fries though. The requested lemon pepper was there, but they also seasoned the chicken/catfish with garlic powder, salt and parsley which is fine. Everything was fried hard, but not dry which creates the perfect pleasurable crunch. The chicken and fish tasted better than a lot of the restaurants in the area with the fish having a lightness to the breading that's sorely missed. Some of the chicken was weirdly tough though as if it was slightly undercooked.      Speaking of misses we have to talk about the dirty rice. Dirty rice is one of those dishes that seems like it either is absolute perfection or an abomination with no in-between. This unfortunately falls into the latter with it not only looking boring with all brown notes, but the initial taste as well as texture being an off putting creamy rancid trip to flavor hell. After a just a few bites my stomach turned which does not bode well for this dish. I have no idea what went wrong here, but it seems like it may have been sitting out too long. Even the smell was a bit rancid. At least it has a good ratio of ground beef to rice which a lot of places skimp on. They also attempted to add in some vegetables like peppers although they are barely noticeable.       Overall Surf's up is a good spot with friendly staff, decent prices, but some issues with quality. My advice is to make sure the cooking temps are correct and consistent. Definitely make sure if food is sitting idle, that it is kept at the mandatory minimum of 140 degrees farenheit to avoid it going rancid so quickly. Also, double check the orders before sending them out or edit the menu if it is outdated.

I still remember how incredibly tasty their fried shrimp was and still is. They offer multiple shrimp sizes to choose from, plus options like catfish, frog legs, and more. Everything is fried fresh to order, and I love that you can pick exactly how much you want. The seafood is flown in daily, and you can truly taste the difference. The jumbo shrimp are my personal favorite , it's so plump, juicy, and perfectly cooked every time. On top of that, the service is always friendly and welcoming. This place is not just delicious, it's nostalgic, comforting, and consistently amazing.

There doesn't seem to be any included fries (although he offered crackers.) Fish is battered and fried fresh. Took about five minutes to deep fry and get it to me. Comes out perfectly dry and the oil looks/tastes clean for the most part. They have a few homemade sauces as well (don't think they have tartar, just BBQ, hotsauce and mild sauce.) The sauces themselves are nothing to write home about. Should honestly be getting more business than they do especially since the guy working there is pretty chill.

They'll sell you the food uncooked, which allows you to use your benefits, but you have to pay a $1.00 cook fee if you want them to steam it for you. This isn't a dine in and eat restaurant. You place an order, pick up, and go. However, I could probably eat this every other day.

You'll find yourself paying $40 for a drink and $25 for a plate of seafood. It can seem backwards compared to a steak house or what not. The vibes are great on weekends catching a mariachi group coming in offering to play songs for money. And even if you don't pay for play,someone might and you can enjoy a song. I still don't know or even asked if they use fresh water or salt water shrimp. Most places like this use fresh water but charge salt water prices(you just have to ask/hopefully they're honest). The shrimp empanadas were ok. I wouldn't order again. The paella is alright nothing to brag about and very soggy. The champuzon was ok. Some parts of the octopus was really rubbery(as id expect is probably frozen). Oysters just do not smell the best. Overall, not my worse place. I'd say stop by try it. Do not have the highest expectations. Be cautious of what you order in mind of freshness. Sauces/salsas were good.
