“ Flying Fish comes through again. Anyone whose spent time on and around lakes and the Gulf Coast will recognize this decor. Think bait shop,seafood market, waterfront/backwoods cafe. Shannon Wynns chain of restaurants have been highly successful over the years and I have to think,the authentic feel has something to do with it . However,make no mistake,no gimmicks here. Straight up good food including awesome fried catfish and shrimp,gumbo,po boys,grilled fish and veggies. If seafood isn't your bag,they grill a mean throwback basic burger. I must advise that if you haven't been ... Go! *What happened to my other reviews of this Location? ”
“ Nice family friendly casual restaurant. Busy on a Saturday night with an almost full parking lot. The line moved fast and the coaster lit up fast to let us know that food was ready for us to pick up the tray at the counter. The crunchy fish tacos were different than what we are used to but tasty and stayed crunchy under the coleslaw and pico de gallo toppings. The shrimp platter ranged from average to large-sized shrimp. The fries were hot and crispy and not greasy The decor is lots of fisherman photos on the wall with their big catches and a fun wall of Billy Bass plaques by the bathrooms, donated by patrons in exchange for a catfish platter. It was nice to see those plaques recycled and appreciated as an impressive collection. For as busy as it was, the restaurant was quiet enough for dinner conversation with plenty of booths and tables. Attentive staff cleared the tables quickly and kept everything tidy We enjoy this place for our seafood date nights for its value and varied menu options. ”
“ Food was delicious! Will definitely go here again! We ordered to take out during Super Bowl and they did a great job!! ”
“ I absolutely love that fish camp style restaurants are trending again! It brings on a lot of nostalgia for me from childhood. We took our daughter after her Christmas party at church and there were smiles all around! Our food was piping hot and delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed my bowl of gumbo. My husband ordered the grilled redfish that was served with grilled squash, beans and rice. It was very fresh and clean tasting. The service here is tremendous and the staff are over the top friendly. The restaurant has the typical decor of pictures of fisherman showing off their catches all over the wall. It is very family friendly as well. The location is very conveniently located to our youngest daughter's home so I am quite sure that the delicious food here will "lure" us back in! ”
“ Great food great service great location. Highly recommend. Often both in Dallas and Plano ”
