Good food, friendly staff (thanks Madi), and quick service! We got the Mahi Mahi, soft shell crab, and shrimp. All were excellent and the Yuengling tasted just as good as always ?

The food was amazing. We were seating right away by a very friendly hostess. Our waiter came right to us and had our drinks quickly. The food was great. Shrimp only lightly breaded and good perfectly. Tuna was seared perfectly and fresh. Make sure you try the lemon & pepper fries because they are amazing. This is definitely a great way to finish a beach trip.

Went on our way home from the beach. Wanted some good seafood and light beers. So glad we came here. A very nice casual seafood spot. Great service and great food.The buffalo shrimp is a must order. Also the key lime pie is like eating whip cream flavored key lime.Go here!

I was a little bit worried about some of the reviews people have posted. Some whiner posted about a bad crab cake or this or that. And maybe so but more than likely it was there competition. It's been a long time since we've ate at a restaurant where everything from service to the food to the atmosphere and ambience was 100 out of 100% and this place is just that. Not only that they make you feel welcome and you can tell they care or at least they pretend to. We had a terrible day earlier and our visit here turned around our whole day. I got the fried shrimp with french fries coleslaw and a side of rice and beans which was absolutely perfect. My wife's pulled pork nachos they were above and beyond anything I've ever tasted. Our 18 month old stop eating her grilled cheese to rip into the pulled pork nachos and then swiftly pulled the whole plate of them to herself. I've had lots of pulled pork nachos yet I've never had pulled pork nachos in this league. Our waitress was top-notch and typically we are pretty cheap at 15% tip but I went with 30% as she was so kind. We have a six-year-old that literally eats Reeses spaghetti and yogurt and that's all period. They we're kind enough to heat up in the microwave precooked spaghetti we had brought with us on vacation for our six-year-old or else she would have had nothing else to eat. I could go on and on and probably list another 50 reasons why this place is so solid so good and such a great time. We are super grateful for our time here today and in a sense it brought our family closer together. Please keep up the good work and keep that Seafood is fresh as you served me in y'all can never be beat

We met my wife's cousin, husband and infant granddaughter for lunch while they were in town and they chose this restaurant based on a recommendation. We arrived and asked to be seated on the deck and were told there was a short wait. They indicated we could wait in the bar which we did. I will say, the staff was very accommodating, especially seeing we were with an 8-month old infant. Our lunch was wonderful, the catch of the day (Mahi Mahi) Fish Sandwich, Crab Cake Sandwich and Island Chicken Sandwiches were delicious and expertly prepared. We were quite surprised how reasonable the meals were, for such a nice restaurant with amazing views. Our server was very nice and attentive and we never felt rushed. It was nice to be at a restaurant with a staff that worked as a team and made our meal so enjoyable, based on the state of many restaurants currently experiencing hiring/employment issues. Well done all!

Loved eating here today. Great location, food and service. We enjoyed the Blue Shark drinks. Food was deligh and saved room to split a dessert. Great outdoor seating. Really enjoyed everything.

My sister and I ate here for lunch on a Tuesday. They had lots of business. We arrived when they first opened, therefore not having to wait. Our server came to table immediately, with iced water with lemon, to get our beverage order. We both ordered the Po’boy fried flounder sandwich. I had fries as the side and she ordered slaw. She said the slaw was okay, a little flat, needed something. The portions were adequate for the price. The view of the waterway is very nice and peaceful. I would recommend this restaurant for food and atmosphere.

The Fish House Grill not only offers great views from their outdoor seating, they also know how to prepare seafood. My wife and I dined here twice and had grilled mahi mahi, fried oysters, fried oysters, fried soft-shell crab and grilled salmon. The mahi mahi and salmon were perfectly grilled--semi charred on the outside and soft on the inside to a medium rare finish; excellent. The fried oysters were perfectly seasoned and fried and were large in size. Finally, the fried soft shell crab was perfect. We both recommend this restaurant both for the view and quality of the food.

Sat outside near the boat dock and had the gulls hollering for our food. Started to rain so up went the umbrella but we stayed at the table. My wife said her shrimp tacos were awesome with the blue chips. I had the blackened shrimp with rice&beans and steamed broccoli, with each bite better than the next!! The ice tea was very good that we washed down our meal with. I liked the experience so much I even got a T-shirt! Very nice and friendly staff and knew about each plate thoroughly. If in the area again we'll be back. Thank you Fish House for an excellent meal!

We really enjoyed this restaurant. The Calabash shrimp and oysters were delicious - fried perfectly with just the right batter. Calamari was good too. Prices were right. Service was friendly and prompt. As a medically vulnerable adult, I only eat outdoors. This restaurant had several outdoor options for us. We really had a great time at this classic beach restaurant.
