We had an amazing experience at Tricky Fish! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The children's shrimp and rice meal was a huge hit -- the shrimp were tender and seasoned just right, and the rice was fluffy and delicious. It's not always easy to find a kids' meal that's actually good quality, but they nailed it! The mahi and shrimp tacos were absolutely outstanding. The fish was perfectly cooked, the shrimp were juicy, and all the toppings complemented everything beautifully. Every bite was fresh and full of flavor. And let's talk about the okra -- hands down the BEST okra ever! Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and not greasy at all. I could've ordered a second batch just for myself! Great food, great atmosphere, and we'll definitely be back. Highly recommend! read more

Hits and a few misses. Fate brought us here. We were in the "neighborhood" and my sister needed to use the restroom so I decided to check out the menu. We have been here before but couldn't remember anything about the experience. (Not a good sign) We opted to have lunch. The beer battered cod caught our attention and the Parmesan Haddock sealed the deal. We started out with a side of the Fried green tomatoes. They were ok. Needed some "tanginess". Our waiter brought us a few hush puppies. Cheddar style with a little heat. Delicious! I ordered the Parmesan Haddock served over linguine. (Asked that the fish be served on a separate plate). The Haddock was a knock out solid home run. Flaky and tasty. The best tartar sauce ever to hit my Lips. Unique in every fantastic way. It's a must try. The linguine was ok. It's was missing tomatoes noted in the description. I also tried a cup of the kitchen sink gumbo. Major miss. Lacking flavor. On a rainy day you want your gumbo to have flavor. The toasted beget was slightly "burnt". My sister really enjoyed her beer battered cod. She's not a huge seafood/fish lover but enjoyed her sandwich and she bragged for 20 minutes on the Mac n cheese. The banana pudding is from another planet. It was delicious! Service. Greeted warmly and seated quickly. It took way too long to get tartar sauce. Asked for extra when ordering...especially for the sandwich and none was brought out with the food. A slight oversight but when we reminded our waiter it was still forgotten about and we had get up to go it. When the dessert was brought out our waiter cleaned the table and took our silverware. No biggie but an inconvenience. read more

This place delivers a polished yet relaxed dining experience that feels both refined and approachable. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere strikes a perfect balance -- coastal-inspired without being kitschy, lively without being loud. The seafood is clearly the star. Everything tasted fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and well-balanced. The flavors are confident but not overcomplicated, allowing the quality of the ingredients to shine. Each dish felt intentional, from presentation to seasoning. Service was equally impressive. Attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming, the staff enhanced the experience without ever being intrusive. Timing between courses was smooth, and recommendations were spot on. It's rare to find a place that feels elevated yet comfortable enough for a casual evening out. Whether you're planning a date night or a refined dinner with friends, this is a strong choice in Fort Worth's dining scene. A consistently excellent experience -- five stars, well earned. read more

We recently visited Tricky Fish for a celebratory lunch honoring a great friend, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Our party of 11 truly enjoyed every last bite. The food was absolutely delicious, and the portion sizes were very generous. Started off with their sample of hush puppies and a side of butter. Highlights included the Kitchen Sink Gumbo loaded with shrimp, fish, chicken, andouille, and rice; the rich and flavorful Bourbon Sherry Shrimp Linguine each dish was prepared beautifully and full of flavor. On top of the great food, the service was outstanding. Cristal and Pantera took excellent care of our large group, keeping everything running smoothly with friendly, attentive service. This was the perfect spot for a celebration, and we'll definitely be back. Also they add 20% gratuity to eight or more as a group automatically read more

Food, Service, Ambiance all good, though I would love it if Corporate decided to add scenic film to all the windows so it looked like we had views of the beach. I got the MahiMahi on loaded mashed potatoes, with a nice blend of grilled zucchini and squash. So very good. I ordered it holding back any strong spices as I don't tolerate Cajun spices at all. It very tasty. I look forward to going back. We ate about 4:00 on a Saturday and there was no waiting. read more

It was our first time here. It is a nice sized and bright space. Nice & attentive staff. Mostly tables vs booths (only seats 4 btw). My etouffe was tasty and mild Spicy (default). The kids meal was good quality & portion for my 7 y/o & came with a drink. Redfish dish was a good portion and tasty; okra was crispy fyi. The fried green tomatoes with shrimp and a nice shareable size and fresh. Bloody Mary was a hit. They do have week day happy hour food & drink specials which are tempting. Definitely worth a try if I'm a seafood mood. read more

Our server Zoie was lovely and the service was great. The three stars is for the food. I got the linguine with capers and the sauce was very bland and did not have any layers of flavor. No heat and the acid from the capers wasn't enough. My husband's mahi was tough and overcooked. The best part of my meal was the small Cobb salad I got, the dressing with all the ingredients was delicious. But, overall for the $93 price point, we were definitely disappointed with the quality. read more

Delicious sandwiches, catfish poboy was outstanding. A nice place for a business lunch.

First time here for lunch at Tricky Fish. Was greeted with a smile upon entering and seated immediately. It has a nice bar area as well as tables. I was here right at noon on a weekday. I ordered the Fish & Chips which comes with fries and slaw. The plate/tray with the fish was presented well. The fish was delicious. It was hot and crispy. I liked the tartar sauce, it had a little heat. The slaw was ok and the fries could have been a crispier (personal preference). read more

Repeat customers! Service is always friendly and unbeatable. Tonight was no exception. Crystal was awesome! 30A Queso with shrimp added was a nice starter along with the hush puppies during their happy hour. Good deals during happy hour! Family gave thumbs up on the Fish Sandwich with coleslaw and grilled Mahi Mahi with loaded mashed potatoes & grilled squash. Now, to the current special. Crab Stuffed Shrimp = OMG!!!

We visited Tricky Fish on Sunday, November 2, 2025, for my cousin's 30th birthday gathering. The first part of our experience was extremely disappointing and honestly upsetting. Our group arrived around 4:00 p.m., and we got there a few minutes later around 4:20. My aunt let the host know we were with the same party -- they were seated at the high table to the right, and we were being sat right behind them. When my aunt asked if the tables could be pushed together so we could all sit as a family, Matt (the staff member) immediately said no and made it clear he wasn't willing to do that, even though the restaurant was basically empty at the time. Then he told my aunt he could ask us to leave -- which was completely unnecessary and disrespectful. His tone and attitude made it obvious that our presence as a large Black family bothered him. You could literally see the disgust on his face. At that point, my uncle stepped in to calm things down, and we decided to stay and make the best of it. But the energy was already ruined. The servers took a while to come over -- it was clear they were talking about what had happened instead of helping us. We finally went to the bar to get drinks, and that's where things started to turn around. The bartender was amazing -- so kind, professional, and welcoming. She didn't comp anything or make excuses, she just treated us like valued guests. Her attitude truly changed the mood for us. Bar drinks: 10/10 Food: 8/10 (but who messes up a Caesar salad?) Dear Tricky Fish, please do better. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, no matter what they look like or how big their group is. We came to celebrate, to eat, and to enjoy being a family. It's sad that in 2025 we still have to experience this type of treatment. We refused to let it ruin our day -- but it definitely changed how we see your restaurant. read more

This location has been visited by me and all my friends that I recommend to try the business. It has yet to disappoint any of us. This is a great restaurant and the food plus the service is great, have yet to be disappointed. Keep up the great food and service. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants, and my top choice for my birthday dinner this year. However, my birthday happened to fall on Fat Tuesday, so I almost chose another restaurant to avoid the holiday crowd. Thankfully, we were able to reserve a table (online via Yelp) and arrived just before it started to get crowded. The atmosphere was lively: live music, Mardi Gras decorations, staff wearing costumes, etc. The entire staff was on point; bustling around and helping one another like a choreographed dance routine. Our server, Ashley, was a real hoot and she made our evening fun. Food, as always, was delicious. Thanks, Tricky Fish for making my bday special! read more

Yesterday was 2nd time in the last month that I've grabbed a seat at the bar with girlfriends. Both times our bartenders have been very sweet, with a great balance of being attentive and chatting here & there but working the bar well where everyone is taken care of Parking- Large lot shared with other restaurants & stores, but parking seems to always be available. Ambiance- I enjoy the laid back environment, a few TVs for those watching sports, they have booths, tables and bar top seating options You can tell the bar has their regulars. Just over all a decent spot , decent prices and good food. read more

Food is very good, though a little bit pricey. The service was very good, the only negative is that the acoustics cause the noise level to be high making conversation difficult. I've been there twice and liked it both times. read more

Love their Gumbo with Catfish. Absolutely delicious. Also their fried okra is excellent. Those 2 fill me up so no room for more‼

I've gone to Tricky Fish in FW a fair amount of times and the food is always delicious. However, the prices have seemed to take a leap. My birthday is tomorrow but I'm not going here because even though we can afford to splurge I feel like I won't be able to enjoy my food because I would feel guilty about how much it costs. Also, with February being Mardi Gras month there is supposed to be a special dish with good pricing available. Where is the advertisement for this? Being from Louisiana it would have been nice to go to Tricky Fish but I won't be there. read more

Loved everything about this place. The staff is so inviting and friendly and the food is delicious. Had the bacon wrapped shrimp with maple bourbon sauce and a side of fried okra.

My wife and I ate and drank at the bar at the same time as a guy that left a one star review. Amazing how attitude can make all the difference in perspective. Our experience was very different. Meredith was the bartender and she was excellent. She was busy and was waiting on a lot of people, but she kept our drinks full and checked on us more than needed. Dinner was delicious and well prepared. The manager, Brad, came by and checked with us to make sure our order was satisfactory. I'd like to say, the Thai chicken wings, the fried green tomatoes, and the peel and eat shrimp are AWESOME. we told Brad that everything was great. We'll definitely be back and I'd encourage anyone that was disappointed to give Tricky Fish a second chance. Maybe come in when you're having a better day. read more
