Bryant's seafood world no longer exists. New restaurant's food isn't that great. Clean store,. And great service. Just need to step up the food and prep.Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible however if disabled person has use of only one arm it's impossible to get into the door without help.

The owner of this restaurant is an abuser. Pedophile. He abused me, his Neice- brother’s daughter for years. Yes I use to work at that dirty, greasy hole in the wall when I was young and that is where it all started. Next time you think about going there - think about this review

Ever since they were on "Restaurant Impossible" nothing is the same! Their trademark used to be hush puppies. Who in their right mind would have a seafood place and after being featured on the television show..... THEN stop offering hush puppies to go with a meal. Instead.... They make you pay extra for hush puppies! This is absurd! No wonder no one ever goes there any more! There's a new seafood place by Food Giant that is always so crowded that you have to wait 30 or 45 minutes just to place an order. But most of my Facebook friends go there because it's worth the wait! Bryant's Seafood is so sad because 20 or 30 years ago it was the place to be! Not anymore.

This place is closed. The lady who bought this place from the owners drove it into the ground and destroyed it. This restaurant was featured on an episode of Restaurant Impossible a few years ago. I guess it was Impossible for her to continue the success of this place made for years under the original owners. I passed by there earlier today and it is just a sad shell of its once booming business.

Not worth the money. The lady at the drive thru had the worst attitude. I'm pretty sure the three cars parked there were workers so it wasn't like they were busy and frazzled. We got a lot of attitude and snarky replies. We've gone here for years and dealt with the crazy wait time at the drive thru because it was usually good food. Not anymore. The food would have had to been the best thing ever for us to ever want to come back for such service. 3 so so meals for almost $50 and terrible service? No thank you.

Call before you go. The sign on the building says they are closed due to maintenance.

My wife's food came out so salty that it was not edible. Portions were mediocre and prices high. This was a great place 20 years ago, but not now. Very displeased with the experience.

I bought a Groupon to use here a few months ago and decided to take my mom to a late lunch earlier this week. Since I'm not a seafood lover (how ironic), I ordered the chicken fingers with fried green tomatoes and R.I. Creamy grits. My mom wanted the fried whiting, but gasp! They were out of whiting AND tilapia. Go figure...a seafood place out of two of the more popular types of fish! She settled on another one of her favorites- ocean perch. A nice touch was the complimentary hush puppies and honey butter spread that came out before our meal. They were nice and hot and quite tasty upon delivery. When our food arrived, I noticed how nicely golden fried the chicken tenders and ocean perch were. My favorite part of the meal were those grits. Not sure what was in them, but they were the best grits I've ever eaten. Seriously. I would come back just for the grits. If they were located closer to my neck of the woods. My mom wasn't thrilled that her fish arrived on top of her fries. She said the meal was "just ok". Our waitress, who said she was only helping out for the day for her friend, was very sweet and pleasant. However, the cook/cashier wasn't. In fact, she was the one deciding factor in why my mom says she won't return. There were several customers who had problems with their food orders, and one couple left after being told that their favorite fish was not in stock. Even with my $15 certificate, I still had to pay about $12 more. So this place isn't cheap. Overall, I enjoyed my food, especially the grits. Not sure if I would drive the distance again though for a meal from there. I'm not into seafood like that. If you are, give Bryant's a try. Especially try the grits.

The food was excellent. Hadn't been in years and they've actually expanded the menu. The server was awful though. She was rude and acted as if waiting on us was a huge inconvenience. It was very apparent that she hates her job and didn't want to be there.

My husband and I stopped in today for lunch to see if they kept the Restaurant Impossible changes. Unfortunately they clearly did not. The restaurant is dirty. The carpet clearly hasn't been cleaned since the show layed it. The salt and pepper shakers are sticky feeling. The shrimp were good but everything else was brought in. The corn had been boiling for so long it tasted more like popcorn than corn on the cob. The fries were standard crinkle cut frozen crap. The ranch dressing was homemade but couldn't save the iceburg, tomato and artificial cheese salad. I was shocked to see how low the lunch special plates are around the same price as a combo at McDonalds. I guess it is a hint to the low quality food. The service is ridiculous. My drink was never refilled. I had to drink with my husband. I can not for see a restaurant succeeding paying more for low quality already prepared food and selling it for the price of a combo and surviving. I give this place one year tops. That's a shame all the tools they needed to be successful was handed to them and they were not smart enough to utilize them.
