I did not care for the seafood. It was not fresh or meaty. The customer service was very pleasant. The place is small but a few minutes later it started building up in crowds. It could be what I have ordered but next time I would go with this specialty whatever everybody else recommends. I ordered the original fish And it was very skimpy it wasn't meaty at all. read more

I tried this place near by yesterday. It was very tasty but just a lil too salty. The greens tasted like an entire salt bomb though but had good flavors and spicy, i didnt need to add any texas pete. The fish was amazinggggg both the grilled blackened and the fried. The shrimp fried rice was also very good but it tasted like it was cooked with a lot of soy sauce. I would definitely return but would skip the sides and try different options. Wish the tarter sauces packets would kept cold but the inside is nice and clean, a bit small but overall a solid stop for lunch and a takeout for dinner kind of spot. Service was good as well, very nice and helpful people at the front read more

I have a new favorite southern seafood restaurant to enjoy now. Try came highly recommended by my close friend and fellow yelp elite. We are equally as picky about where we dine. I was famished and in no mood to fire up the stove this evening. So I ordered in. This place was excellent. All seafood is not created equally. Delivery took about under an hour. I decided on the whiting sandwich which comes with 3 extra large pieces of whiting fish, lemon wedge and 1 piece of wheat bread, Macaroni and Cheese and collard greens. The portions are large here. Plenty left over to enjoy for dinner and tomorrow's lunch. Their recipe for macaroni and cheese is one of the best I've had since relocating here. Very similar to my mom's recipe. The collard greens are just as tasty. I will most definitely return for dinner plates. I enjoyed everything. read more

I am super excited for everyone to discover this place like we did because this place is a gem! After seeing the quality of their food and menu, this restaurant is bound to blow up. The restaurant is conveniently located in a shopping center near crossroads with indoor seating. The original is located in New York, and the couple Scott & Gina who own it blessed us with their second location in Cary. Also, great prices and huge portions. For starters, the menu is very large. Some items on it include fried rice, sandwiches, pasta, crab legs, quesadillas, and all sorts of fish that you can get cooked any way you want. And that's not even half. No matter what kind of food you like there's an option for everybody here so you can never go wrong. The owner Scott was super helpful and friendly. He walked us through the whole menu and gave us great recommendations. Good service goes a really long way. Over two visits, we were able to try the cornbread, mac and cheese, grits, shrimp po boy, banana pudding, collards, yams, fried rice, fries, fried fish and shrimp basket, snapper, and crab cakes. I was also craving a cheesesteak but with salmon (not on the menu) and they were able to make me a great one. I promise once you get to see the menu you'll be planning your order for next time. It is veryyyyy rare for a restaurant with this many different menu options to exceed at every item, but they did. We didn't have a single complaint about any item we ordered and everything was hot, fresh, very flavorful, and satisfying. ****If you have a sweet tooth the cornbread and banana pudding is a must**** We also heard great things about the jerk salmon burger, and their empanadas and fried snapper caught my eye so we'll definitely be back! read more

Food here is always amazing! Quick service, I always grab the food to go which is fine because always makes it home still hot!

Tryseafood met my expectations. The menu matched the food I received. The food is delicious 5 out 5. The service was great. The staff is energetic, polite, professional, and ready to serve customers. They did not fall short on the food or the service. My food was out in under 15 minutes. The food is prepared fresh. I had the salmon quesadilla, which was loaded with bite-size salmon chunks that were falling out of the wrap. Very flavorful quesadilla. Everything was piping hot. I wanted the collards but It was sold out. Scott recommended the Mac and cheese and I wasn't disappointed. The Mac and cheese were creamy and delicious. I think I'd prefer to take it out the next time. It's very small and it gets busy. I will come again and I've already shared my experience with my friends and family seeking good seafood items like this in Cary. read more

Wonderful seafood lunch. So glad I found this place. Great service also. Indoor seating is limited. Go at an off time.

Always fantastic! Amazing food and super nice staff I stop in as much as I can. Great little place.

Everything was amazing! Snapper was fresh. Please get the hush puppies! Monet was super sweet. read more

Food was delicious and service was amazing! Hot crispy fish & hush puppies was mouth watering! Soul food vibes

The food is delicious!! The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is very inviting! The Sunday menu is worth the trip over..

I loved this restaurant for multiple reasons. I love seafood and the food was amazing. It was flavorful and well balanced. The Rasta pasta had plenty of spices in it, making it complex. The spice is notable but won't kill you. The crab hush puppies are unique and delicious! The wings weren't frail but rather a good size. On top of the amazing food, the service was top notch. The owners are personable, answer your questions with enthusiasm, and really believe in their food. This is a casual restaurant but it's nice. It's not the largest space but there is inside and outside seating. It'll be great for a date or for a family dinner. It should be noted that they have Turkey wing and lamb chop specials on the weekends. read more

The fish was good--definitely seasoned, not over the top, but just right. Service was fast, and the place seemed cool inside, though I just grabbed mine to go. This unseasoned area needs more seasoned food. Call it seasoned food gentrification. read more

Very good. I only eat seafood so this is like finding a treasure! I would highly recommend!

Food was great and filling!! Although there is limited seating inside and it can feel kinda cramped they do a great job of getting food out in a friendly and serviceable way. read more

Fantastic service, best seafood I had in the state! The music is spectacular - cannot encourage you more to visit this place. Will definitely be back! read more

Lovely service & great food. I dined in on a Sunday afternoon and will definitely be back. The shrimp basket was delicious and a hearty serving with well seasoned fries. The interior is clean and has a few tables to enjoy your food as well as an outdoor seating table. The service was excellent, the woman taking my order was so kind and another member of the staff (maybe the owner/manager/shift lead) was welcoming and even brought out some sauces he thought I would like (I did!!). Overall great experience. Two people next to me ordered that rasta pasta and it smelled AMAZING! Ill be trying that next time. See you then!! read more

On April 8th we tried TrySeafood Cary. We are from North Raleigh but it was listed as one of the top 8 Cary restaurants by the Axios Raleigh newsletter. Its a bit of a drive from North Raleigh but the crossroads mall area where they are was quite accessible. Actually after you get off the exit its down just beyond at the intersection of Tryon and Holly Springs Roads so not so crazy as crossroads proper. The strip mall is quite accessible and very easy to park right in front which was great. This is another in the series of great family restaurants we are finding. Like the others, there is a strong focus on seasoning and flavors. This seems to be a distinguishing characteristic of small family place vs non family restaurants. As soon as we walked in the husband was there to greet us and explain everything. He was excited about what his wife was cooking and make it so welcoming. I quickly settled on the grilled blackened catfish with mixed vegetables. My wife got the 3 piece whiting with fries as well as the 3 fried oysters. $46+taxes and tip. Excellent flavor and such a welcoming environment. Well worth the drive which honestly was not that bad. read more

Amazing seafood restaurant in Cary, NC. The honey butter cornbread, a dessert, was suggested as an appetizer. It was delicious. I had fried scallops, which were well battered and cooked just right. My dinner partner had fried catfish and scallops. Equally delicious. We both had Mac n cheese as our selected side dish. Excellent! You could definitely taste the cheddar cheese in the dish. The prices are very reasonable. We wholeheartedly recommend TrySeaFood Cary for dinner. It is well worth a visit! read more

Food was pretty good but I only got 2 things and it was 50.00. I think they are pretty pricey. I did get the catfish and shrimp. All of my shrimp were not the same size so the smaller ones were kind of overcooked. Now the catfish was supposed to be 2 pieces however it's actually one piece cut in half which I think is misleading. I also got the seafood rice instead of fries and it was good but they need to tell you that there is an upcharge when you make a substitution. They guy was just like you can change it out if you don't want fries or coleslaw. I also got the turkey wing dinner which was good but expensive. Now I will say it was a good portion size but I wouldn't get it every week. My take is I would have given more stars if I wasn't mislead with the upcharge for the rice and also if they gave me 2 actual pieces of fish instead of cutting corners. The lady was nice however they guy who took my order, I wasn't feeling his vibe. I would prob go back again in the future. read more

I really want to give 5 Stars, but I have two big knocks. We just visited here Sunday, 11/26, for my wife's birthday. We have 7 in our family. The customer service is great! We were served by the owner and a waitress. They were both nice the entirety of our meal and we were seated immediately. The food is great! The seafood is fresh and the taste and quantity are good. We had the calamari, crab poppers, and honey cornbread for apps. All were very good. Then we had the Cajun Steam Pot (for 2-3), the Jerk Feast (for 2-3), and a 16 piece wings for our entrees. The size of the wings is great! The size of the pots were average, but taste was on point. My family likes hot, I don't, but the heat was tolerable. My two knocks are price and the paper plates. I'm not so boujee that I can't eat off of paper plates, but if I'm going to, then the experience changes, and thus the cost should be commiserate. The paper plates and plastic cups were a lesser issue than the plastic utensils, because it's nearly impossible to eat crabs and seafood with a plastic fork. The second knock is that my bill was just under $400 for 7 people, which was $340 pre-tip. Again, to clarify and to give credit where credit is due, the customer service and food are great! But to pay nearly $400 to eat off of paper plates at a takeout style restaurant, is a lot. We will certainly return, but probably takeout from their lunch menu. Kudos to the business owners for creating a welcoming spot with great food! read more

Went here for the grand opening of the Cary Downtown park so as to be expected it was very busy! I ordered the chicken wings fries and lemonade and I thought the price was pretty reasonable for the wings and fries at $14 dollars. All the food was full of flavor for me. They use a spicy seasoning for the fries which might not be the best if you are getting the fries for little ones but for me it was really good. The signs were nice and crispy and flavorful. I did get the sweet bang sauce which was spicy. I wanted to note they don't dip the wings in sauce they drizzle it over the wings so they aren't too saucy so if you are a sauce person just keep that in mind. They were perfect for me with not too much sauce. The service was where they lost a star, although friendly I had to repeat my sauce for my wings about 3 times. I think they were just overwhelmed with the big crowds. I do also think they could have done a better job of putting the food out, I had a long wait and I felt like some people who ordered after me got their food first. Although seafood might take a shorter amount of time than wings so perhaps that is why, but it seemed a little disorganized. I will say the food was great and I will definitely be back maybe not on a huge event day. read more

Our food tasted like it was refried; it had a thick, dark coating. Fish in my husband's shrimp and whiting dish was tasteless and also refried. The service was good, and the atmosphere (not really ambience) fine. We were hoping it would be a good seafood restaurant; we didn't find it so. read more

Great food! Owner is an amazing man. Food is always delicious and hot. It is a small business and when it gets busy, it gets busy, but the food is worth the wait. Very large portions and when I say shrimp is huge and chicken wings. That they are! Highly recommend. Support local read more

This place is sooo delicious! We ordered two surf and turf combos -- one with the sweet bang sauce and the other with the sweet chili sauce. Perfectly cooked, jumbo wings and shrimp with sauces that are simply amazing! Like legit, finger licking amazing! Everything, from the chicken, shrimp, macaroni and cheese, strawberry lemonade, even the fries, are carefully and thoughtfully crafted with great flavors. PS: The name is misleading because they don't stop at just seafood. The menu has great variety and options for everyone! While it was our first visit, it won't be our last!

This place was a great Yelp find. The service was good for a small restaurant as this. The food was amazing! We had fish, shrimp, chicken wings (sweet chili flavored were my fave) the collard greens were seasoned perfectly, shrimp rice with veggies was too spicy for me but the flavor was good, and last but certainly not least that BANANA PUDDING! Get the banana pudding for sure, not too many cookies, not too many bananas, the pudding was fluffy but firm, I think I tasted nutmeg or something to make the flavor pop! This place is definitely 10 out of 10 read more

This place was really good. We will be back. I got lots of food for us to try. Shrimp po boy is very large and very good. Try the shrimp fried rice. . So much to try. They do have places to sit flown and eat. Very clean restaurant and a great place to bring your family. Try this. read more

My mother in law liked it. I didn't dine in, but looks chill and relaxed. Eat quick, get in, get out. It's in a shopping mall with Harris Teeter, Walgreens, and I definitely got a little turned around. Other than that, food smells yum. Service was cool. I ordered online for a pick up. read more

Food was fresh and delicious. Service was slow. Limited seating is crowded. Owner is very nice. I hope they can expand soon. Go support!

Service was excellent the girl was very nice when we walked in and very helpful. The food was good. I ordered a surf and turf with catfish and wings which was excellent. My sides Were mixed veggies which consisted of broccoli, corn and potatoes. They needed more seasoning. I thought they would have been sautéed but they were steamed which was fine just needed much more seasoning. I also ordered the turkey collards. They were good I wish they had more meat since they are called turkey collards. Overall great experience and I will be back for more. read more
