    11. Snow Crab Feast
    Eryn H.

    I really enjoyed the food here. Everything was fresh and the customer service was A1. We ordered the crab boil which was good and flavorful, fried oysters , conch fritters , conch bites, and deviled crab. The only thing I didn't care for was the deviled crabs but the other food made up for it. If you order the conch make sure you get the special sauce they have to go with it. Service was quick and you can dine in or take to go. I will definitely be back.

    Fish & Shrimp
    Nicolas L.

    I visited Riverside Express Seafood earlier today for lunch and had a disappointing experienced. I ordered the Fish & Shrimp. The fish was rubbery and bland. The shrimp was also rubbery but did have a crisp and seasoned breading. I did not finish my food. The restaurant is also very expensive for fast food, $13.99 for my meal. Overall, I do not plan to visit again.

    Dry  No sauce  Not even a lemon like it describes in order delivery options

    Everything tasted stale and no sauces are provided so it's very dry . Also my whole order was incorrect.

    If Yelp separated fast food seafood establishments from non-fast food seafood restaurants, 5 stars would have been earned. However, that's not how Yelp functions. Definitely a fine fast food business. This location is #2 of three locations. The original Riverside Express Seafood is in Tampa, & the newest addition is located in Zephyrhills. (I've now visited all three.) All locations are owned & managed separately; however, they are "family/friend owned," according to extremely friendly & professional Haleem-- who could not have been nicer. He's definitely a PLUS to this company. I decided to try the most popular item on the menu-- the #7 Fish & Shrimp w/ a side (coleslaw). I opted to add a second size (black beans), & I selected grouper as my fish. I admit to not being a big fan of fried foods. (Other than sweet potato fries & whole belied clams, I rarely eat fried foods.) But as fast food goes, my fried grouper planks were large, moist, tender, & flavorful. My shrimp were fresh & also flavorful. However, due to the same batter being used on both foods, there was too little difference between the fish & the shrimp-- just too similar in taste for me. The canned black beans (touched up before presenting) were fine. The coleslaw was very good; I'd order it again. Fish choices here are : BASA, TILAPIA, CATFISH, COD, HADDOCK, & GROUPER (the latter @ $3 more). SIDES offered are: french fries, yellow rice, garden salad, garlic potato, 2-pc boiled egg, corn, black beans, coleslaw, & 6-pc hushpuppies. APPETIZERS include: oysters, scallops, calamari rings, 1-pc Basa fish, 6-pc conch fritters, & 15-pc large shrimp. Soda, iced teas, bottle water, cheesecake, strawberry cheesecake, red velvet cake, & chocolate cake are on the menu, along w/ a total of 12 ENTREES, devil crab, clam strips, conch, 5 wings, homemade crab cake, & 10 large shrimp. A patron who frequents this clean dining room told me that she is a "regular" who consistently orders the #4 Shrimp Pasta @ $10.99. She's also enjoyed the $10.99 #3 Shrimp Scampi, but can't say enough about the delicious Shrimp Pasta. I stopped in because I was in town on business & noticed this high-ranking eatery had few interior & exterior pics. I left w/ some pretty decent fried fast food. Word has it this place is hopping in the late evenings. (It closes at 11 PM.) If Haleem continues to greet customers, I have no doubt Riverside Express Seafood's excellent online ratings will continue:)

    Great seafood. Fast delivery via Uber eats. I work in the area and I've been meaning to check this spot out but work has been hectic lately. They came up as an option for my Uber eats delivery so I indulged. Great portion sizes, well seasoned fish, shrimp and fries platter. Food was made quickly. I only ate half and the rest reheated well the next day. The breading isn't too thick and it's seasoned perfectly. 5 stars. I'll be back.

If you are in the Lakeland area and you are hungry then this should be your first choice. We had "Sean" as our server and he was beyond outstanding. He was very attentive and very friendly and he took time to inform us about the specials, most popular items and was able to make suggestions based on our wants. We started with a dozen grilled oysters, half cajun butter and half garlic butter. They were very delicious. They were tasty, fresh and a nice size. My wife went with the grilled wild caught salmon which was described as the wagyu of the sea. And she said it was the best salmon she has ever had. I went with the pick two combo which included catfish, shrimp and cod. And I know that's three but instead of two pieces of catfish, I got one and two piece pieces of cod. My sides were hush puppies and red beans and rice. Let me tell you first of all it was a lot of food, everything was absolutely delicious. But the red beans and rice were amazing, plenty of flavor. And the sweet tea was excellent. We were to full from dessert but we will try some next time. We also met a manager and the owner and they were both very personable and friendly. They both acted like regular people and they both made us feel welcomed. Lastly we sat outside because we had our service animals with us and they also took very good care of them. They provided cold bowls of water and we order a chicken breast for them. Which they cut up in small pieces and provided them with to go bowls for them to eat out of. We live in Tampa which is about 1 hour away but our experience here was worth the drive. It is in a nice area with shops and stores. Definitely try this business if your in the area

Service was friendly and good. Southern charm feeling. We ordered 3 meals. Sea Bass, Redfish and Pick 2 with fish and shrimp. I had the redfish blackened and it was super flavorful with a kick. The crawfish sauce was excellent with 2 big shrimp on top. Everything was cooked well. The green beans on the side were nice and fresh. Rice was great to get that extra sauce. Wife had the Seabass and it was delicious as well. Great portion with a very tasty chimichurri sauce. I will try that next time as it was a hit. Green beans and potatoes on the side. Kid had the pick 2 and it was also very good. I actually liked the coleslaw. It was not mayo based and had a great taste. I ate it all! To start we had the fried pickles. Huge portion. Pickles were a nice thin slice with a seasoned coating. One of the better fried pickles we have had. Fighting for that last piece. Convenient location in an outdoor mall. Plenty of parking and can take a stroll after eating. Highly recommend this place!

I opted for a simple menu with #16 with 12 shrimps, 12 beef sausages, 2 potatoes and 2 corns. The #4 Snow Crab legs was huge and enough for 2 persons! As we are driving back, you can smell the mouthwatering flavor from the seafood! Both dishes were soaked with light spicy sauce in garlic butter. The sweet juicy corns were delicious, and the potatoes immersed with spicy garlic butter sauce were outstanding. Of course, they have crawfish, lobster tails at very reasonable price! The staff and owner are super friendly. A+ place for Cajan/Creole seafood. We had a wonderful experience with Krunchy Krab and be warned that it may be habit forming.

It was lunchtime and the parking lot was about 3/4 full...a good sign. Prior to entering the front door, I couldn't help but notice numerous license plates from around the country attached to the ceiling of the entry. We were welcomed by a maritime theme, again, along with numerous license plates tacked up in numerous places on the wall. I immediately noticed a few amateur "ham" radio plates. We were greeted by a friendly hostess. The place was bustling with the sounds of many customers chatting and laughing as we were escorted to our table. She presented us with menus and told us our waitress would be there shortly. After a short while we were welcomed by Madison, a lovely, young "bubbly" waitress. She presented us with their complimentary signature biscuits with cinnamon butter and their delicious coleslaw. We had already reviewed the menu and were eager to try their Alligator Nuggets w/horseradish dipping sauce and an order of Fried Calamari. We gave her that and our drink menu. She would be back shortly for our main menu selections. In the meantime, we sampled those excellent biscuits and cinnamon butter and coleslaw. Both...delicious! My wife and I were both there for their catfish, which was recommended by our friends. I got their blackened catfish sandwich and their criss-cut sweet potato fries. My wife got her catfish sandwich southern fried along with the same sweet potato fries I had ordered. Our friends ordered their mahi-mahi with fries and shrimp and scallops linguine with Alfredo sauce. Madison came back shortly with our appetizers. My wife was the only one of our group that hadn't tried alligator before. She was very surprised, commenting that it tasted like chicken. Ha Ha! Both appetizers were excellent. After a short while, the kitchen staff came out with our main menus. Lovely presentations on all of them, and "first bites" were all well-approved! Madison returned a short while later asking how everything was going. We shared our delight with all the meals. Of course, there was no way any of us could possibly have finished our meals, so Madison came back with plenty of "to-go" boxes. It was a very worthwhile experience for us...and our friends who were delighted we had enjoyed our time there. It will be a definite return visit when we come back. Hats off to Madison and the staff that gave us all a very memorable experience at Catfish Country!

We each chose a different fish dish from their lunch menu. Since they are named "catfish" country, I decided to get that. My husband ordered the cod. We chose the fish to be fried -- and they were lightly battered pieces and perfectly cooked. Each basket came with two sides. I got green beans and a baked potato. He had collards and cheesy grits. We both loved our fish choices. The only thing that I didn't care for were the green beans -- more like pole beans and peppery southern style (as in mushy). He thought his collards and grits were wonderful. I think we've found a new favorite place to stop mid-state.
