It does tend to get busy, so you may have a little wait for your food, but it's definitely worth it. The shrimp Rasta pasta was creamy, flavorful, and had the perfect amount of spice, plus they give a generous portion of shrimp.

After a long and exhausting week, coupled with a craving for fried fish we elected to go here…read more While nicely decorated, the interior is small and can seat about 20 ppl or so. We sat outside this day, as the weather was mild and there wasn't any available seats inside. We ordered a fried combo and a grilled combo. TrySeafood does a lot of things right. Portion size was fairly generous. We especially love the fact they serve cleaned jumbo shrimp. Food was cooked well, shrimp was tender as was scallops. The broccoli was not tender crisp nor mushy. The potatoes and corn were delicious. While service was friendly, it was a bit slow. Also, I'm not an Old Bay fan. The grilled shrimp were seasoned with Old Bay. While the fish was crispy, I prefer a cornmeal dredge to a flour dredge. Finally, (and this could have been a me thing) the tip percentage on the screen doesn't align with the math. I intended to tip 15% - which is standard especially considering slow service. That should have been approx $8 and when I got home I realized it was approximately $16. You're not given a printed receipt and if you're in a rush and going through the process quickly it's easy to miss. Again I may have missed something, but I'm pretty sure I selected the %15 option. Additionally, I've seen other restaurants that have intentionally include this practice. Would I go again, sure. I'd request a different seasoning blend or a light seasoning and check that math!

We waited at least twenty minutes to get the check, and another fifteen to get our cards back. They have a lot of to go orders, and they seem to take precedence over the in-house orders. The place is clean and comfortable, with hip hop playing which is right up my alley. I'll give it another chance at a later date.

They do have seating available, but it feels more like a place where most people order their food and take it home. The parking lot is a little tight, but the food made up for it. I ordered the shrimp and fish basket, along with cabbage and mac & cheese for my sides. The cabbage was cooked well, and the mac & cheese was decent. The seafood was good, and overall the meal was worth the wait. One thing I enjoyed was their homemade lemonade. They also have plenty of menu options and daily specials depending on the day of the week, so there's a good chance you'll find something that fits what you're craving. Overall, it was a good experience. If you're in the Raleigh area and looking for some good seafood and soul food, I'd recommend giving this place a try. At the very least, it's worth checking off your list and seeing what all the buzz is about.

Holy Grilled Catfish!!! As a Florida Girl I have eaten a…read moreton of seafood growing up and can be picky about fish restaurants. This was my 1st time driving to Garner on my way to the new VA Clinic for a fasting lab. As I turned onto Benson Road I couldn't help but notice the Carolina Fish Fry sign written in friendly letters almost welcoming me to stop in and have a bite. I KNEW I would be stopping here on the way back home to Raleigh. And I did. Just after noon and not having eaten since 9pm the previous day I was READY for some chow! As I got out of my car I noticed a Greek themed food truck parked outside. They have a partnership with the restaurant to use their kitchen to make the meals that are very good according to staff. It was closed when I arrived. But I was there for seafood. It was CALLING to me! As I approached the door I noticed the beach vibes and decor on the outside and inside of the restaurant. The menu has a lot of different types of fish and offers both grilled and fried options. I was little overwhelmed by the choices as I love all seafood. I asked the woman behind the counter what she would recommend. We must be kindred spirits because she recommended the catfish. I remembered that a fellow veteran I met that day while waiting in the fasting lab mentioned they go here "for the catfish." At first I was looking at the flounder. See, my Mom makes The BEST stuffed flounder in the WORLD. So, whenever flounder is on the menu, I have to go there. But, I can't turn down a good catfish. Uncle Hershel is a friend of mine. If you know, you know. I was given the choice of a basket? Or a platter. The player I believe had FIVE?! Pieces of fish plus sides. Now, I had been fasting, but I was pretty sure I could not eat FIVE pieces of fish. So I went for the smaller serving of three plus it came with three sides. The bottom three sides on the sides menu attached to the order window are premium sides with a $1.50 up charge. One of those is the fried okra; something I can't resist having grown up in the south. I got the grilled catfish. It was a hard choice as I really wanted fried, but trying to be healthier as I recently lost 6lbs. Plus, I got those fried hush puppies, fried okra and some healthy and OMG delicious best I ever had in the WORLD collard greens. In fact, my fork dove into the collards first. I couldn't stop eating them. I could taste the subtle hint of vinegar pepper sauce. But it wasn't spicy and didn't burn my mouth. I could eat an entire bowl of those collard greens. I don't normally make audible yummy sounds when eating in public. But, if you were sat nearby yesterday afternoon you would have heard me go "mmmm" with every bite. I'm not a religious person, but this was a "come to Jesus moment." I mean, these collard greens alone are a religious experience. You have to try them. Most places you go collard greens are over cooked. Not these. They kept their deep green color and tender but not cooked to death consistency. Tartar sauce and cocktail sauce is offered with the fish dishes. The tartar sauce tastes like it's homemade. Really good. I was dipping all sorts of things in the tartar sauce that I never did before it was that good. Oh no! I had an extra tartar sauce I brought home in my backpack that I JUST now realized I never put in the fridge. OOPS! Anyway, time for me to post some of the pics I snapped after my incredible meal washed down with pink lemonade. Free refills on drinks by the way. Super casual laid back vibe with Jimmy Buffet music playing in the background.

Review on May 11, 2026: 3 stars…read more I visited this restaurant today with my parents because we felt like having some good seafood, and we have had good seafood at this restaurant before. The cashier was professional and took our order quickly. This was an order to go. After I received my receipt for using a credit card including the receipt with the itemized order, I realized there was a discrepancy on the total amount of my order versus what was charged to my credit card. There was a 3.5% difference. I questioned the cashier regarding this discrepancy, and she then pointed to a note that was stuck on the plastic shield in front of the cash register area. Apparently, if you use a credit card for your purchase, there's an extra 3.5% charge but if you use cash, you don't have that charge. I didn't make any extra fuss about it only because I needed to get my parents home; however, I was not at all happy with not being told this upfront. At the very least, this note on that plastic shield could have been pointed out for me to review before placing my order. I should not have had to find out about it after questioning a discrepancy to then be shown a note on a plastic shield. When you are at a fast food restaurant, you don't arbitrarily read stuff that's sticking on plastic shields or anywhere else for that matter. It should be up to the cashier to make mention about any changes to their policies or practices. As far as I am concerned, this is a very shady practice. I rated this restaurant with three stars and not lower because the food was good. The shrimps were cooked perfectly, and the buffalo sauce was fabulous! I always enjoy their hush puppies. The rice was okay. My parents enjoyed their grilled flounder and grilled bone-in pork chops. The portion sizes for all meals were a bit smaller than expected though. I don't like feeling like I was deceived or taken advantaged of. Not having that 3.5% highlighted to me at the time of my order feels very deceitful. I left feeling like I was taken advantage of. Not sure when/if I will return to this restaurant.
