Very happy with the customer service. Overall the food is pretty good. My friend ordered a clam chowder and when hers arrived she offered to let me try it. I liked it so I ordered one for myself. Unfortunately, mine wasn't as good as hers. Hers was thick but mine was watery. I wonder if they were running low and tried to stretch it out with some water maybe? I ordered the seafood platter which comes with cod, oysters, shrimp, scallops and deviled crabs. All fried. You have a choice between french fries or baked potato. And you get a small container of slaw and a very small container of tartar sauce but they will bring you more. Plus two hush puppies. I was pleased with all of it. The deviled crab was heavy on the stuffing and light on the crab but it still tasted good and not dry. This restaurant has been considered a local favorite for many many years. I do recommend trying them out. read more

Closed permanently as of May 3, 2025. Newspaper and TV accounts confirmed it. Very abrupt closure. I never understood the appeal of this place. Almost all of food was fried and heart attack city, and the service really declined because (according to the owner's interview on TV news stations) it was challenging to adequately staff the restaurant. But weeks after it closed, literally half the population of this sad little town have come completely unglued over the closure. Go figure. read more

This place is so delicious! I forgot to take pictures of my food, but definitely will when I go back! I ordered the combination seafood plate that fish, scallops and hush puppies, with a side of raw onions, which I thought initially was weird, but it definitely complimented the fruit we were eating. The ambience is very retro 70s. Space is clean and the staff is friendly. read more

Rosehill Seafood Restaurant - Fresh oysters - Seafood Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

Rose Hill Seafood closed and over 1/2 of Columbus was very saddened that this happened. Buford King's son opened it back up and it is still the same great seafood as ever. Love the raw oysters, fried oysters, fried whole catfish and the rainbow trout either fried or broiled. Plenty to choose from their varied menu. The food, and the service make this Columbus best fish house. The ambiance is old time fish house and the same it's been since Rose Hill re located to its present Hamilton Road location. Years ago it was originally down the street near where John B Amos cancer center is located. My father owned a restaurant across the street and if we didn't eat at the Rose Hill Grill we ate at Rose Hill Seafood. Remember when oysters were 25 cents a dozen Highly recommend read more

Excellent seafood: appetizers, dinners , drinks and desserts. Bar service is exceptional.

Talking about old fashioned down home seafood cooking this is the place. The young lady waiting on us was very nice and made our first time visit easy. This restaurant is packed with people coming to sit and eat and in the to go line! It took some minutes to get our order but it was okay. I gave it 4 stars because it took a little long, but it was old fashioned cooking with bone in catfish. read more

Sat. 11/20/2025 I called in about 5:00pm for a catfish plate. When I got my order I didn't check it out. When my husband open up the box. There was a couple of whole catfish the rest of it was junk pieces of catfish, it was like pieces of fish that they wouldn't serve to the customer eating inside. Maybe pieces that had come apart in the fryer. It wasn't a great experience. The box was to small all the food ( French fries) were crammed inside the box. This is the first time we've eaten from Rosehill since the new owners took over. Not a good experience. Someone needs to check food before it goes out to the customers. If eating inside the food wouldn't had been served like my takeout was. read more

One of my all time favorites in Columbus. Seafood platter is the way to go. I had fish any way they make it: fried, grilled, blackened. Always the best service and the freshest fish. They also have a market Nextdoor where you can buy some seafood to go. read more

Food and service is top tier. Food is fresh from the ocean, matching its fresh catch slogan. 100/10 recommend to anyone in the area.

The catfish is excellent! If you don't want the bones, get the fillets; but to me, the "whole catfish" is best. (Don't forget to eat the crispy tail & fins....very delicious!) This last time I ordered carry-out, still the service was good. Where the diners sit is one big room... it's clean, not much ambiance though. Some fish (taxidermy?) on the wall. You go to restaurants to EAT, NOT to look at ambience. Been here many times, even when I was little, and visited family on vacation (yes, it's been around, awhile); waitresses have always been friendly and attentive, as far as I can remember. I had an aunt, who was very particular about food - persnickety? - she loved this place! read more

Best oysters in Columbus! I would argue the best seafood spot. Incredible service, laid back vibe. Definitely check it out! read more

Long wait to sit down and get food after it was ordered. But the waitress was awesome. She brought drinks and starters right after order was placed. The food was awesome as I remembered. We got fried pickles, broiled trout and fried catfish. They were all delicious. I especially liked the baked potatoes. I usually get raw oysters from here but I'm glad I tried something different this time. read more

03/21/24i called in an Order for a Mullet and a baked potato. I was told that coleslaw was included and pickles and onions included upon request. I requested they add The pickles and onion. I did not check my order before leaving but the cashier opened the baked potato box and added sour cream and butter. I arrived home and there was no coleslaw, onions or pickles. I called to report but I declined their offer to put it in the box ( I assume my name) to get an extra cole slaw the next time I ordered. while I waited for my un prepared call in order, I noticed 2 separate groups of African American families with children that said they had been waiting over 15 minutes in the lobby and some handicapped standing on a walking stick waiting to be seated, while other ethnicities walked right in and were seated. There were many empty tables !!!! The 1st family of 5-6 left in disgust after addressing with the staff behind the counter. I will not patronize this establishment again. It appears that they could care less for certain people business anyway. I patronize businesses that "respect" and want my coins..When I see that elders are not respected I have an issue it's that. I saw this with "MY OWN EYES"'. ** Review of taste: The fish was over cooked (fried) with NO seasoning. I don't mind paying the advertised price for good food proportionate with what I ordered. I will let you all judge by the pictures what $17.00 looks like @ Rosehill Seafood Hamilton Road( No coleslaw, No pickles, No onions) read more

A great local spot with delicious Southern seafood dishes. Great sauces and fun atmosphere.

Just something better at Rosehill. I like to cook my own. If you like pan fried cod served with a lemon butter caper sauce, Mashed potatoes and fresh foam cooked spinach, you can't but your fresh cod fillets anywhere else. The meatiest fresh cod. You can't get a comparison to the quality. The crew.really cleans the fresh mullet.. butter lowerys season salt smoked for 4 hours reminds me of the old north Florida smoke fish houses. read more

Great service. Great seafood. Come as you are. Everyone is friendly!! Nice variety of seafood offerings.

Every time​ I​ ride past Rosehill the parking lot is full. So I said hmmm they must be pretty good if they're always full. So I​ stopped by around lunchtime​ one day to order​ some Shrimp and fries. I was going​ to sit there and eat but idk.... not somewhere I​​ would probably​ sit and eat... The lady that took my to-go order at the counter was super friendly and ​gave me some great recommendations​. My food took about 10 mins to cook, not long at all. Once I​ got home I literally​ ate my food in 5 mins that's​ how good it was. The fries were soooo good and the fried​ shrimp was really fresh! I will definitely​ be back to Rosehill read more

The oysters are perfect! Nice waitress had a good experience. Very busy but was served quickly

My family has been buying fresh oysters from Rose Hill Seafood Market since the 50s. We grew up eating fried oysters and oyster stew twice a week. My dad was chief chef and seven of us ate well from one pint of oysters. When we all fled the nest, my parents got their weekly seafood feast from the restaurant. If you are looking for fresh, delicious seafood and oysters in a down-to-earth atmosphere, this is the place. The friendly servers keep your tea glass filled and the pickles, onions, crackers, cocktail sauce and horseradish coming. Rose Hill is a local treasure. You will not regret a meal here. read more

Great and cozy atmosphere! Also notable portion sizes. The worker's make you feel so welcome like you're at home.

Food was Good! Staff was Professional, Knowable and Friendly. The Restaurant was Clean.

This place is a home town spot for seafood. It has a pretty good crowd for being 2:30 pm. This is my second visit and I believe the catfish was better the last time. I got the filets but they were a little greasy, just in the bottom. The health score was 100 A. I'll be back. read more

Rosehill Seafood Restaurant - Catfish filets - Seafood Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

Rose Hill seems to be holding tight to a tradition of quality service and simple formula of fried fish, huspuppies and everything you expect from a southern "fish camp". The restaurant complex includes a seafood market and oyster bar in the same building. However there is no reason to suspect what you see in the market will make your plate. The top items include catfish and flounder, the shrimp are iqf and ready for deep frying, The oysters also come in bulk and convert to the fryer or stew. According to a longtime waitress, the lines have grown shorter but business remains brisk. During our visit on a Saturday afternoon very few customers were younger than 50. The portions and options from salad to baked potato still rates Rose Hill a cut above Captain D and Red Lobster for a fried fish feast. read more

This has been a favorite of Columbus citizens for over forty years. The menu is simple - broiled, baked and fried fish. It is well prepared and served by waitstaff who are friendly and smiling. The atmosphere is great because there is no atmosphere. You'll see church groups, families, teens from all walks of life. Rosehill is a 'down home' sort oof place that serves good, simple food at reasonable prices. read more

I have always heard that rose hills has the best catfish in town, I have to disagree and I ordered the whole catfish and will say that was the worst catfish I have ever had because they cut the meat off of one side of the catfish and the other side is so thin you have less that a 1/8" of meat so all you get is a pile of bones. I told the cashier this and she said you should have just ordered the filets. So why is whole catfish on the menu if all you get is a platter of bones. Everything else was great but this puts cutting corners to a whole new level and all you really can taste is the breading. I'm pretty good at eating whole catfish without getting any bones in my mouth but there is no meat to slip off the bones. read more
