Fish tacos with Mac n cheese
Julie T.

I've been here three times now and I am consistently pleased. The food was tasty, and this time I had the fried pickles and I like that they're crunchy on the outside and some tenderness/juicy ness on the inside. A nice combination and not greasy. The bbq is always on point. They have several types of bbq sauces also. Not to mention they also do dry rub if that is your preference. I like dry rub. I also like having the option of having various types of sauces should I want to add some zip to my bbq! The servers are friendly and attentive. Parking is nice as this is in a plaza that is well-lit. I like the ambiance too, because if you want to see sports, you can easily go to the back of the restaurant where there are several tv screens for sports. They also have Buzztime trivia, which is pretty fun too. I like that you can hang in the front section and be happy and you can also hang in the bar area and be happy there as well. I like the decor also and the ambiance is a lovely mix of family, couples, and friends. And this is a clean establishment. I like that as well. Also, I've had the catfish and pork and not once has it come out dry or bland. I'd like to speak with my yelp elite colleague about her experience, as I've been here 3 times and not once have I had sub-par bbq. My friend had the catfish and she said it was perfectly fine for catfish. Another friend had the pulled chicken and that was tender and well cooked also.

Two Fister with brisket and pork
Menghai T.

I came here on a Saturday afternoon and got the two fister with brisket and pork($15) and pork rinds ($8). The pork rind came out quite quick in under 5 minutes and were freshly fried. They were very crispy and seasoned good. After another 10 minutes the main came out. The brisket was disappointing, it wasn't really seasoned well and felt a bit dry. The pork had good texture and tasted well with the BBQ sauce. The homemade coleslaw was very bland, it felt like straight cabbage with no sauce. Mac N Cheese was quite solid. Staff and service were great! Overall the food was alright, could be a work in progress as it only been open for two week and are getting things figured out. I'd give it another shot down the line once everything gets in order. Food(50%): 6.3 Staff/service(25%): 7.0 Value(25%): 7.0 Overall: 6.7/10

We visited for lunch for the first time and we really like the layout of the restaurant. They have a lot of large booths and they cover the tables with brown paper and have crayons at each table. I love the brown paper for the cleanliness and fun!! We were warmly greeted and promptly seated by the hostess. We found all of the staff to be friendly and the manager stopped by to check on things as well. We had the Better Than Bang Bang Shrimp and they were delicious. Our entrees included a pulled pork sandwich, the pork and catfish platter and a brisket sandwich. We felt that the pulled pork was a little dry and the catfish had a little too much breading. Both were good, but slightly missed the mark. I will visit again to try to pork since we could have caught it on a bad day.

The replacement rack of ribs I received when I pointed out how badly the first rack was burned.

I was raised in Kansas and lived in Texas for 20 years. I've eaten BBQ in so many different locations and of so many different styles I've lost track of them all. Something had to be wrong during our visit to The Fishin' Pig, because it was maybe the worst BBQ I've ever eaten. I ordered the $35 sampler plate with ribs, brisket, sausage, pulled pork and chicken wings. The ribs were burnt so badly the crust tasted like charcoal (see included photo.) The brisket was flavorless and had zero crust or seasoning. The pulled pork was dry and also flavorless. And the chicken wings had no seasoning whatsoever outside a thin coating of overly sweet, watery sauce. The sausage and hush puppies were the only good things on the plate. The service, however, was excellent, and our waitress quickly got me another order of ribs after I pointed out how burnt my first rack was (but they should have never left the kitchen in that state.) My spouse had the catfish platter, which along with the hush puppies, sausage and the fried pickle appetizer we had before the meal turned out to be the best things we ate. When the catfish is the best item at a BBQ restaurant, there's a major issue. I hope our experience was a one-off, and whoever was running the kitchen tonight probably shouldn't be allowed to do so again. Regardless, we won't be back to check.

New to Insbrook but definitely a popular spot by the way of FarmVille. Stopped in to get a gift card but couldn't resist trying something to go. Off top customer service was top tier, everyone was professional and helpful! Very clean and spacious space too! So I opted to try their chicken toes (makes me chuckle) and baked beans and it was served piping hot! Great portion of chicken seasoned well but the meat itself was a bit bland but dip that piping hot toe in that honey mustard (3.9/5) and the baked beans were good too with bits of meat in the beans, seasoned well tho I prefer a slightly sweeter bean myself they were tasty (3.7/5). I can't wait to stop by and dine in soon! If you haven't gone give them a try!

Great service very attentive. Cool decor. Music is good. Not load but not non existent. Comfy seating. And love the butcher paper tables cloths. We had the hush puppy baskets. Good very sweet cinnamon butter. But good She had the pulled pork sandwich with fries and Mac and cheese. She said it was good and liked it. They make their own ranch and southwestern ranch!! I had the brisket sandwich. Slaw was good not dry good creamy to vinegar. Mac and cheese. All bbq Mac and cheese has to be good and this one did not disappoint. But lots of points lost on the "Brisket sandwich " I do not think it was smoked. It tasted like microwaved meat. It was super moist but rubbery. It just did not look right and did not taste right. Besides that. It was great. I will definitely try them again. Just going to skip the brisket.

Tried to go to a restaurant nearby but they aren't open for Saturday lunch, so we tried this place. 10/10! Sat immediately, served didn't come quickly which the hostess noticed so she took our order and brought drinks. Entree came out with scallions which we'd said absolutely shouldn't be on it. It was quickly remade (they didn't just take the scallions off) and brought out with apologies and hostess said they took 1/2 off the entree price. We never had to ask! I don't need a perfect experience, but when it isn't and it's handled so well, it might as well have been perfect to start. We will definitely be back (the Mac n cheese skillet with pork was so delicious, can't wait for leftovers at work on Monday!)!!

The service was fine, the brisket was dry and not much flavor and the pulled pork also not much flavor. Probably would not go back.

When you walk in, the staff acknowledges you right away, which I always appreciate. The drinks and food come out pretty fast, and the environment is clean, fun, and relaxed. The bathrooms were also clean and smelled nice, which is something I always pay attention to. One of the faucets was slightly broken and the water pressure was very low, but that was the only issue I noticed. The drinks were good, and the seafood boil was amazing. The crabs were big, meaty, juicy, and the flavor was excellent. They play music that fits the culture and the vibe of the restaurant, which makes the atmosphere fun. The only thing I would suggest is possibly keeping the music censored earlier in the day since families and kids may be present. Some people may not mind, but it stood out to me. Overall, the exit experience was warm and pleasant. It felt like they genuinely wanted you to come back, which always leaves a good impression.

Highly recommend the food was outstanding . They also have fresh seafood for pick up atread more

Yelp tried to tell me but I didn't pay attention. Lesson learned…read more I'm a seafood snob. Grew up in Charleston, we would get our own oysters, crabs, shrimp, fish, so I know what good seafood is. Richmond has some respectable seafood but nothing like I had a Shoreline today. Did I mention my husband grew up in the Boston area? For him, lobster and clams are a weeknight dinner and his uncle, who was a lobster fisherman, would cringe at the lobster we've been eating. When you're away from the source, you have to make do. Not anymore. Shoreline Market has amazingly simple, well-prepared high quality food. And they do it for a decent price. I have a new favorite seafood place in Richmond. Came for lunch on a Saturday. We ended up getting the crudo, which was a tuna poke; lobster roll; clam sandwich; potatoes and salad, plus a bottle of Sauvignon blanc. Everything tasted great and was clearly masterfully prepared so the seafood was the star. All in our bill was around $90, totally reasonable for what we got. On the way out we bought more food to have at home. Fish stew and pimento cheese and another seafood soup. We work from home and are super close and HUGE fans of seafood, and the prepared foods they have is reasonably priced and fresh, so when we don't eat at the counter, we will take something home. I'm traveling this week and if I was home, I would have bought a few more items, such as the shrimp and artichoke pasta. We were told about these 10-course dinners they do so we booked one in May. So excited. I'm sad I didn't come sooner. I knew Shoreline opened but I assumed it was on the side of Patterson close to town. Glad to know they are right around the corner!

Long story short, this place is not what it used to be. The food quality has noticeably declined,…read moreand unfortunately, the service made the experience even worse. We were literally the first guests of the day, so there's really no excuse. Our waitress brought water to the table, spilled it, and never came back to clean it up. When our food arrived, one of the plates was completely wrong due to her entering the order incorrectly. There was no apology. She simply grabbed the plate and walked away. Mistakes happen. But poor service with zero accountability makes it hard to overlook everything else. Between the decline in food quality and the lack of basic customer care, this visit was extremely disappointing. Almost forget to add that when I went to the bathroom and attempted to close the door, it was literally hanging off of the wall and so off track that it could not close.

We found out years ago that although the same franchise some have slightly different menus. The place had plenty of free parking and the outside looked fantastic. We were not disappointed, the food spectacular and the service , if I could give six stars I would. The ambiance was warm and welcoming. We met some of the locals and had great conversation. Truly a delight....Unfortunately, we had to saddle up and giddyup down the road.
