Out of towner here! Walked from my B&B with friends to get lunch. We walked up to the counter to order our food. I ordered the "Salad Supper," which was absolutely delicious. Fantastic salad! it had kale, microgreens, black eyed peas, sweet potato salad, chickpeas and avocados. There was supposed to be a superfood slaw on the salad as well but I asked for that to be on the side. Then I added grilled shrimp. This salad was so good! One friend ordered the same salad and another friend ordered the Shrimp Po-Boy. Everyone enjoyed their food. We were able to sit at an outdoor table and loved being outdoors in the sunshine. read more

Smithtown Seafood - Supper Salad with Grilled Shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

Certainly a real fun place. The staff are Super. Great Vibe. Food? Total meh... Ordered the catfish platter. It looked nothing like the photos. Not golden brown; fish or fries. The oil likely needs to be changed. The fish portion was...okay. Fries were not hot. Hush puppies were good. But it was all one dingy brown color. The slaw was fine. Beers were Awesome. read more

I have Waxed poetic about Smithtown's fish and chips on numerous occasions, but today, I am sharing love for their hush puppies... Golden hush puppy-- crisp shell, tender heart of corn, Smithtown's perfect bite. read more

We stopped at the 6th Street Brewing for lunch and a drink. Attached to the brewery, is Smithtown Seafood. You pick up your drinks at the bar and then, once seated, you use a QR code to order your food. We started with the clam chowder. I have to say, there was no shortage of clams. They were plump and plentiful in a wonderful broth. Really tasty. The fried oyster appetizer did not disappoint. Perfectly fried half dozen of oysters served with fried banana peppers. The oyster platter was more of the same perfect morsels with fries. The only thing that was not enjoyed on the platter, the Cole slaw. It lacked flavor. The shrimp and grits were fabulous. Cheesy grits with blackened and perfectly cooked shrimp with frizzled onion. Yum! We enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was great. A wonderful way to spend an afternoon read more

Oh my gahodddd! So so good. The Po Boy rivals anything we have had in New Orleans. The breading on the fish is so well-seasoned and flavorful. The staff was amazing. Paired with some drinks from West 6th, it was an impeccable experience all-around. Highly recommend! read more

It was Good Friday and with none of the Catholic churches serving fish, we came here. Being a Friday evening, it was busy, but not too noisy. We snagged a table next door in West Sixth Brewing where I started on a pint of cider while we waited for our food. We used the QR code on our table to order our food and it was delivered to our table. The taco trio caught my attention and I wanted one of each variety but the fried mushroom was sold out, so I settled for three shrimp tacos. They were delicious so it definitely wasn't a "settle." Hubby chose the Cape Codder sandwich with Weisenberger cheese grits (always a good choice), with a no sugar cherry Ale-8-One. We both "cleaned our plates" as our mothers would have requested! There are other dishes on the menu that I want to try including the blackened catfish and grits, so I see other visits in our future. read more

Excellent in every way. Service was friendly Fish and chips were excellent! Would love to try many other options on the menu. read more

Came here to have lunch while checking out West Sixth Brewing, but Smithtown could be its own destination. We ordered the hummus, cod fritters, sweet potato salad, & hush puppies. The star of the show might just be the sweet potato salad-cold, great flavor. Cod fritters had great crunch, hummus was obviously homemade and a great mild flavor. Hush puppies were good, denser than I'm used to. Highly recommend!! read more

Yummy! Couldn't ask a better Sunday plan than a fish 'n chips platter from Smithtown and a pint from West Sixth. Great menu with a decent selection of vegan options. Service is fast and friendly. Food holds up well for takeout. Eat local! read more

Love love love this place. The space is super fun, the FoodChain partnership makes me so happy, and the possibility of pairing things with beer is so good. There's almost always a delicious special (think apple cake, or maybe even pulled pork), but the menu options are always a hit for me. Black eye and kale salads are such good sides, but the fries are pretty salad. Bonus is that you can scan your QR code on the table to get it delivered to you, which makes it super easy! read more

Smithtown seafood was delicious food and a great environment. I really enjoyed being able to grab a beer at the brewery and walk over to get food right after. The food was cheap, came out quick and was nice and hot on arrival. the cod fritters were delicious! I really enjoyed the fish and chips as well, the fries were well salted and crispy. The shrimp Poboy with the remoulade on top was delicious as well! I would say this is my favorite fast casual seafood place in Lexington! We'll plan to come here again! read more

Smithtown Seafood - Seared shrimp tacos - Seafood Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

In a mostly landlocked state, I generally try to avoid seafood, but this place is pretty solid. The mushroom tacos are actually amazing and have an amazing batter on them. The fries here I think are the best fries in Lexington and they are delicious. The clam chowder is solid, and I enjoyed the shrimp po boy and fish and chips. read more

Cute little seafood place sharing space with West 6th Brewery. Table ordering is available through a scanned menu at the tables or you can order to go where the food is prepared. Got 2 oyster po'boys and wasn't that impressed but a lot of shrimp were being ordered. The sandwich isn't well packed and small oysters were used with a lot of breading. They were cooked well but the quality was lacking. The sauce had a touch of curry and for me, got to be overwhelming. The bread wasn't crispy at all, but we did visit on a Monday so possibly fresh bread delivery wasn't available. Next time I'd try 1/2 and 1/2 or all shrimp. The save was the side salads. The curried sweet potato salad, quinoa and sautéed garlic zucchini stole the show and added a star for these. read more

Excellent experience because we could sit outside with our dogs. We first walked in the seafood side and were a little lost. Another customer said "you must be from out of town, which we were, and told us how to place our order. Service was flat as you go to order outside of the seating area and I was made to feel like they were doing me a favor helping me. We got 2 different Ale8 sodas, I got the cherry my wife got the original. mine was fantastic but hers seemed less flavorful than a sprite. I ordered the Cape Codder with slaw and my wife got the catfish sandwich with fries. Mine was delicious but the fish was a small but thick cut that didn't cover the bun. The coleslaw was good. My wife's catfish was not well cleaned as you could still see that black fatty stripe which left it tasting fishy. Not proud KY catfish. The fries were excellent but I had to go all the way back to the cash register to get catsup. Being outside on the sidewalk meant the food was dropped off and that's the last you see of a server even though they get the tip upfront. A little presumptuous. Overall slightly disappointed. If you want to order here, don't just walk in to the seafood side, order on their website where you'll learn they have the option of a remoulade sauce ( not offered to us) and much more. read more

This place is such a gem. Best fish n chips I've had in Lexington so far and I am a SUCKER FOR THEIR OYSTERS. SO DANG GOOD! Fresh and raw the workers just know how to shuck'em! Never gritty which you gotta appreciate the consistency. Hear me out, their superfood salad is just so good, pick whatever dressing it doesn't matter. I'm obsessed with their catfish so obviously I have to order 2 and get it blacked AND FRIED. Cooked to perfection btw, every time. Everything here washes down real nice with a brewskey and good vibes. Lexington is lucky to have 2 great establishments connected to each other. read more

Really enjoyed all of the fried deliciousness. They have good house made sauces like the blue cheese dressing and the tarter sauce. The Cape Codder fried fish sandwich is excellent!! I like it on the fresh bread that is standard here and I also like to get it on Rye as well! We were really disappointed because we wanted to try the lump crab dip but they were not serving it today :(. I look forward to coming back. read more

My wife recently learned that Smithtown has lobster rolls which both of us enjoy, so we checked it out on Saturday. For $24, you get a large sandwich and a side dish. It was plenty of food for a meal. The sandwich is flavorful and the amount of lobster is acceptable (for the price) but there's more filler than I'd prefer... celery and such. The sauce has a hint of spicy heat. Overall, a good lobster roll, but not as good as the place that used to be on Broadway (theirs was pricey, though). I got Puerto Rican Sweet Potato Salad that was delicious. I'm not sure what the spices are but it isn't a hot spice. She got the fries which are always good, but we're service a little cold this time. It doesn't hurt that there's plenty of cold West Sixth Beer nearby! read more

Delicious and affordable. Been there a few times. The shrimp po boy, buffalo catfish bites, and fish and chips were all on point. Also loved the sorghum cookie and peanut butter pie. Went back to get a second cookie to go. We will be regulars. read more

I'm absolutely obsessed with this place. There's not really much dining space in the actually restaurant, but you can order from West 6 brewery next door and they will deliver it to your table! The fried fish is of course a classic, but my favorite is actually the friend banana peppers. The dipping sauce they come with is amazing. I've also tried the shrimp and grits which were delicious. The staff are always super friendly! Food takes a bit to come out, but time is never wasted when enjoying the ambience of the brewery. read more

This is the perfect marriage between a good little seafood stand and a brewery! The fish tacos and the shrimp tacos are delicious. The sauces in the tacos aren't overbearing and really let the seafood shine through. Everything tasted fresh and perfect. Being connected to the brewery, it made for a great pairing of beers with our tacos. The vibe is very relaxed and easy; a great spot to unwind and enjoy some good food and beer! read more

Chowder is great. Fried Oysters have no taste and should be avoided. Service is good.

We were not familiar with this area, but a google search rated this place so highly that we had to try it. I am a huge fan of Shrimp and Grits, so I got that. It was the best I've ever had. The flavor of each ingredient was fantastic! The sauce, the blackened shrimp, and the grits all on point. One ingredient that made it so good was the sauce had some little bits of fried onions in it. One thing worth mentioning is that the portion size and price were perfect. Reasonable price and the portion filled me, but no need for a doggy bag. We are leaving the Lexington area tomorrow, so I'm going to try to talk my family into returning one last time today. I don't expect any pushback on that idea...! read more

I'd say this was decent for a late night bite. Fun to see the connection with West Sixth brewing. The food was decent. Our party ordered the shrimp po-boy (6 shrimp, lots of bread) with hushpuppies, the fish club with fries, and the catfish with fries and grits. We all agreed it was a good meal. It is a bit across town from where my son lives, so he said he might not make the trip again and eat here unless he was in the area, and then he absolutely would. One thing I didn't like was when we ordered (via your phone), everything was an upcharge. Anything but chips is an uncharge for sides, sauces were an upcharge, etc. A little too much nickel and diming. read more

Yum! I wasn't expecting to see a plant-based option when a seafood restaurant popped up in my search results. So I was super excited to see a Vegan Artichoke "Filet of Fish" on the menu. The "fish" is a patty made with artichoke, dill, smoked paprika, and celery. It also came with lettuce, pickles, red onion, and vegan tartar sauce. I ordered the sandwich on rye and it came with a generous serving of fries. This meal was super delicious! https://bit.ly/3C8E0tb Meateater Hubby and his cousin were happy with their orders as well. They had Shrimp & Grits, Smithtown Loaded Fries with beer cheese, and a fish sandwich. Hubby also ordered a stout. Overall, we liked this place! Located at West Sixth Brewing & Taproom, QR codes are available at the dining tables for contactless ordering. Staff brings the food out to you when you indicate your table number. There's also wifi and we saw a few patrons working on computers on the outdoor patio. Seems like a legit spot to hang out. I would totally be a regular if I was a local. read more

Okay so here's the thing I recommend this place for gathering to have brewed beer. However, not for meals. The food is very pricey and plates small. The three stars is for it being a good place to gather with friends for beer. I had the Kentucky catfish and hubby ordered shrimp and grits. Now we have had shrimp and grits from numerous restaurants and they have been really good and great portion size. It's not a cheap meal but a good one. Smithtown Seafood shrimps and grits is pricey and is served as a meal. However, when you receive your meal and look at it, it's more of an appetizer! Was very disappointed with the portion size. So it goes without saying when we left hubby went somewhere else to get a meal. I posting a comparison picture of Smithtown seafood shrimps and grits and one of another restaurants in Florida shrimps and grits. Price and quantity definitely do not match. Service was nice, ever friendly. read more

We visited Smithtown on a Friday night during Lent so you know we were in the mood for some good fish. This place did not disappoint, the food was bomb. We were in a group of 4 so we were able to have a variety. Loved the fried banana peppers and manny's shrimp cocktail as appetizers. The highlights of our dinner were the artichoke sandwich, buffalo catfish, and oyster poboy. Shanghai salad was also very good. The grits as a side were surprisingly good. The food was super fast despite the place being busy. Love their mission, and the person working the register was very nice. read more

Have you ever tried a dish and the first thing that comes to mind is " these are some quality fresh ingredients " me neither but that's what the food at this place made me feel. The catfish was perfectly cook and the gravy was light but delightfully tasty brought together by some creamy grits. It's one of those dishes you could eat everyday!!!!! I had a shrimp taco as my appetizer and the fresh slaw , perfectly cooked shrimp and other fixing made for a great starter. The hush puppies although also very yummy got a little chewy as they cooled but I tried one blazing hot and boy oh boy - eat them hot! I truly enjoyed my lunch and will definitely be back here. Another YUMMY find!!!! I'm not a drinker per say but they do share a dining area with a brewery so if that's your thing you can get a cold one to enjoy with your meal. I think it's totally family friendly with lots of area between the bar and the restaurant! Great service as well you order and they bring the food to you - just an overall great place! read more

We were staying at an airbnb down the street, and stopped in for dinner. And a good one it was! I got the "supper salad" which was delicious and filling--I took almost half of it home for lunch the next day. My boyfriend got the fish and chips, a big steaming hunk of cod that was flaky and flavorful. This place is attached to the West 6th St Brewery, a micro-brewery with very good beer. You order your food from Smithtown, get a table in the roomy dining area of the bar, and they bring it to you. Very comfortable dining area, even has an open air section with picnic tables. Great mix of people, young and old, families and couples. I could have come here every night, but we wanted to try more restaurants. This was one of the best. Also, one warm evening they had the roll-up door to the brewery open, and you could watch the assembly line, see the empty cans come down the line and get filled with beer, 12 at a time. Very cool! read more
