50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Birmingham

“This is one of our favorite spots in town. The food and service has never disappointed!“

“Went to Amore tonight for our anniversary dinner. Our waiter, Robert, was outstanding explaining the specials of the day and suggesting a great wine which really complimented our dinner of shrimp and lobster linguine which was cooked to perfection. Our dessert of crème brûlée was spectacular! The best meal we have had in a while and I highly recommend Amore for a truly enjoyable experience.“

“Every time I come home I want to come both here and Bright Star. The food is great as well as the service and the Sarris family has earned every dime they make! My favorite is seasonal, the bbq shrimp and grits and the whole flounder is amazing.“

“Excellent food and service 😊“

“We went to Magnolia Point for the first time last night and are so glad we did. The food was delicious, service fast and attentive and the prices very reasonable. It’s a great place to take kids because it’s got lots of food they would like (fish tocos, hamburgers, etc) and not too fancy. There’s also a great outdoor patio that we cant wait to try. We’ll be back for sure!“

“I absolutely love this restaurant! It’s my favorite one in town. Always an incredible dining experience from start to finish, amazing food, and incredible service. You will not be disappointed!“

“Chucks Fish in BHAM is absolutely fantastic! From sushi to steak you cannot go wrong in this place. So so good! My go to on HWY 280!“

“Excellent service & food. We will be back. The restaurant was cozy and clean and quite Italian interior. Would be good for a date night. The server allowed my Mom & I to split an entree. The sides were a la carte with pasta dishes. They have plenty of salads but I would suggest they add something like green beans to the menu...a green vegetable besides salad. The bread was soft and tasty. I would suggest spaghetti noodles vs rigatoni/penne for the chicken parm but chicken was great.“

“Flew in from Houston and so glad I stopped here. Had the fried green tomato BLT with a cold PBR draft and it was amazing! If you’re in Birmingham you gotta give this place a try, 100 out of 100 ⭐️’s!!“

“Always amazing! Great staff and great food…and the drinks are good as well!“

“The food is AMAZING!! Servers are on top of it. 10/10! Definitely recommend!“

“This is one of the hidden gems in town! Always fantastic food and I eat here at least twice a week. The service is outstanding and always friendly. Sue the hostess that works the door is amazing. She remembered my name by the second visit and always greets me with a smile?. The entire staff is unbelievable and you feel like you are eating lunch with best friends. Highly recommend!!!“

“A friend brought me to dinner here tonight. I relocated to Birmingham a few years ago and had been meaning to dine with you so when my friend asked where I said ‘The Fish Market.’ Well, not only was the food fantastic but your staff was incredible. Our server was a lady named Precious. I have never felt such hospitality from a server. It is hard to describe but she made me feel as though she was eager to help yet didn’t want us feel rushed. It was a genuinely wonderful dining experience and I’m not one to yammer on with recommendations. 😂 Additionally, the bartender (my apologies but I didn’t get her name) delivered my drink to ensure it did not get watered down. That level of service is practically unmatched. Please know you have two wonderful team members in Precious and the bartender. Well done!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ First Visit – Absolutely Incredible! The atmosphere was cozy and elegant, and the staff made us feel right at home from the start. But the highlight of the night? The food—hands down some of the best Italian cuisine we’ve ever had. Every bite was full of rich, authentic flavor, and you can tell the ingredients are top-quality. From the appetizers to the desserts, everything was delicious and beautifully prepared. This place is a true gem and we’re already planning our next visit. If you haven’t been yet you’re missing out!“

“Always great customer service. The food is amazing and I love coming here at least one time per week to satisfy my cravings. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good food and a peaceful atmosphere with good customer service any day of the week.“

“Food was very delicious! My husband and I ordered the bacon and chicken quesadilla, Philly quesadilla and 10 piece train wreck wings! Customer service was great! They really did their thing! Great environment! Prices are great! Food was hot and fresh! Don’t walk, RUN to try them out🫶🏾“

“Super clean establishment! Fast friendly service and love the specials! 😍 Always something new here to catch my eye.“

“We are frequent Season's 52 diners. Always excellent! Tonight we sat in the Bar area for Happy Hour. Great flatbreads and wine. Then had scallops, pork chop, filet and lamb lollipops. Every bite was wonderful. JULIA is an outstanding server!!“

“Love this place. The food is absolutely amazing! they've got a beautiful waitress as well, she's always really kind and really sweet and really outgoing, very personable. she's very knowledgeable of the menu, always has a smile on her face and always makes you feel like your family when you come in. the prices are really great as well. there's nowhere else you can go to get an entree for $15.99, that's about average at location. you can't go to McDonald's for that. great food, great fun, great times, and I look forward each time that I go. I just got back today actually, I went to dinner there tonight. love it!“

“Good food nice and friendly staff“

“Awesome service and even better food. Can't go wrong booking Simone's Kitchen. We hired them at my property for an event and will definitely hire them again!!“

“Hot and Fresh Food, Superb Menu!“

“My recent visit to Good Friends Chinese & Seafood was a delightful journey into Chinese cuisine. The restaurant's inviting atmosphere set the stage for a satisfying meal. I ordered fried rice, egg rolls, and shrimp, and each dish was a delight. The fried rice was flavorful and perfectly cooked, the egg rolls were crispy and packed with savory fillings, and the shrimp was a succulent and flavorful treat. Good Friends Chinese & Seafood's dedication to authentic Chinese flavors and high-quality ingredients was evident in every dish. The friendly service and the welcoming ambiance added to the overall enjoyable experience. Whether you're a fan of fried rice, egg rolls, shrimp, or simply seeking a taste of China, Good Friends is a must-visit. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to savor more of their delicious offerings!“

“Fresh delicious food and friendly service. The place is gorgeous.“

“If I could give them a hundred stars I would. Their food is immaculate every time. Hot fresh and ready. Subway eat fresh ain't got nothing on them. Little Caesars hot and ready ain't got nothing on them. And speedy too. Don't go there stressing them out like that being rude because it ain't that serious. They are genuinely nice people. Their customer service skills puts chick fila to shame. Don't be in a rush when you go because you will wait a few minutes because they are cooking your food fresh for you. If I could put a billboard on my car and advertise for them I would because their food is amazing. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Fresh seafood and wonderful staff“

“Just know that you have to be ready to start ordering before you even get to the steam table. They will point at you and ask what meat you want. Be prepared to decide quickly as you go down the line. DO NOT BE ON YOUR PHONE! I know this sounds harsh but this is how they are able get a lot of people fed. They have a large selection and everything is delicious.“

“We celebrated our friend, Tara's birthday, and it was absolutely perfect! The staff was friendly and inviting (and hyped the birthday girl up), the DJ was on point, the drinks were superb, and there are no words for the food! We could hardly get out the door because the music kept pulling us back in! This place is all it's hyped up to be, and we can't wait to go back!“

“Best pork-chop EVER!! And our server Mary Kay gave us top notch service! She was truly Amazing!“

“Hot and Fresh Food, Superb Menu!“

“So I visited Carters Hooka bar & Grill for the first time. I had seen so many good reviews on another site so I decided to give it a try. To say I was underwhelmed wouldn't suffice. The atmosphere was nice, chill little vibe. Good music, good vibes, bad food & Drinks were disgusting. We ordered shrimp & grits, steak & shrimp, 2 blue MF (drinks) & Cajun ranch cheese fries. The grits were under cooked, no seasoning, and tasted like water. We added salt and that didn't help at all. The sausage was burnt and it was a little too done. The shrimp was seasoned but it didn't balance the grits. The steak and shrimp tasted like each other. They didn't have a distinct flavor, it's like they cooked it together. The steak was waaayyy overcooked and the heat wasn't hot enough because the steak didn't have a char on the outside. It was spicy along with the shrimp. It did come with 2 potatoes covered in cheese and a side salad that was mostly tomatoes & cucumbers minimal lettuce. The drinks were not good but not bad. Too much alcohol, the end that's all. I would come back but definitely not for the food.“

“I've been going to the cajun steamer in hoover for years. Great to finally try this one, it did not disappoint. Great food, fun staff, and a great atmosphere for being outside a mall instead of the French quarter, but as close as you can get for Birmingham, AL. Thanks again and I'll be back!“

“Awesome place to be, my first time there and it won't be my last. I had an awesome experience for it being my first time, good people, awesome bartender, very friendly people. Thanks for a great time and good conversation, I will return.“

“Food was delicious and Brandi was fabulous!“

“They have some of the best food in town. Their fish is simply delicious. You can get family-sized servings for very economical prices. Need a quick DIY self-catering option? Call these folks!

Also, some of the freshest salad you've tried. Hands-down.

I bought a family-pack of fish for guests that I did not know were coming over. I needed a quick solution. The guests loved the food so much, one of them called me weeks later wanting info on the restaurant because she started craving the food.

Then another person who wasn't at my house that day called asking about it too because the guest was talking about their fish being so good😂 You have to try this restaurant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Dinner was absolutely amazing! Service was stellar. The Fleming's staff made tonight memorable from the moment O entered the building until my exit.“

“Went to 2 different locations before visiting Prive/Palace. You get entry to the restaurant for free and the club in back for $10. Security will check you before entering and parking spaces were nice.

The bartender was very nice and the people eating were also very nice. We ate wings, fries, catfish nuggets and had some drinks in between visits to the back club“

“I was scared to stop by this restaurant because of the reviews I have read on here but I walked in spoke to the Asian lady and she spoke back .I came back the next week and the same lady took my order .I speak put in my order and wait while it's cooked fresh .The two young African American ladies I encounter has been nice and polite . I'm not sure if they read your reviews and changed but I haven't had not one problem and the food has bern hot and Delicious. I Pray it stays this way“

“My first visit at this location and LW wont b last. Unbeknownst to me, kind young man/Ervin opened tle door for me (on a cane etc )then took my food to car. So polite and when I got home I PIGGED OUT! 😋 food was sooooo good and just rite for my palette“

“I had such a beautiful birthday dining experience at Brock’s, and I absolutely had to leave a review. From the atmosphere to the service to the food, everything felt warm, elevated, and intentional.

The lamb chops were cooked to perfection — medium, exactly the way I requested them — tender, flavorful, and beautifully seasoned. The au gratin potatoes (white & sweet)were rich and comforting and were absolutely divine. Every bite felt thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor.

I also enjoyed the roasted red pepper soup and ended the evening with the berry trifle dessert, which was the perfect sweet finish to a wonderful meal. You can tell care goes into both the presentation and the quality of the food.

What made the evening even more special was the exceptional service from Kat. She was attentive, kind, professional, and helped make my birthday dinner feel genuinely celebrated. I truly appreciated the signed birthday card and the extra touches that made the experience feel personal instead of rushed or routine.

In a time when great customer service can sometimes feel rare, Brock’s delivered both outstanding food and hospitality. I left feeling full, celebrated, and grateful for such a memorable evening.

Highly recommend, and I will definitely return.“

“Amazing food! Friendly service! Best fried pork chop I’ve ever had.“

“I work for The Dinner Detective and this venue hosts us 2-4 times a month. I cannot brag on the staff enough! From Todd at the door knowing each one of us and doing anything he can to help, to the front desk staff willing to print things for us or locate someone if we need them, to Bill always smiling and being friendly. But the real MVP’s are Jarvis and Damien with the staff that serves the meals and makes sure our guests receive the best experience during dinner. Damien is always there and works so hard. He knows his stuff and makes sure we have everything we need. Jarvis is so friendly and helpful. He has been so patient and dedicated as we have worked in this new partnership and has helped us troubleshoot and work through things all with a smile on his face. Without Damien and Jarvis, we would have been in a mess a few different times. They are amazing! ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Don’t focus on the 2 stars for atmosphere, unless you’d rather pay for ambience than for good food. The thing that first hooked me on Yoe Express was their coconut soup. Even on that visit I noticed the good price for their lunch specials (which appear to be available at other times as well). So on my next visit I decided to try the black pepper chicken. It was really good, AND the portions of the chicken and the fried rice were large enough that I ate half and took the rest home for dinner. I’ll be back again and again to try the other dishes. Back to the prices - with meal prices going up and up at other restaurants I go to, it’s nice to see Yoe not following suit. You can still get a generous meal of good food for a reasonable price. If you live in Homewood, you owe it to yourself, and to the good folks at Yoe Express, to support this establishment. If you don’t live in Homewood, get in the car and drive there to check it out; it won’t be your last time.“

“The customer service lakeshore location“

“I haven't been here in awhile so I decided too stop by. I usually go too a different state for seafood,but decided too rep my city for the deliciousness. Everything was still good too me and I can tell who ever in that kitchen wasn't stingy with the sauce.“

“Excellent!! Great food and service!!“

“Just picked up and the food is very good not overly sauced and fresh. Hot and sour souo good too. We had the beef and broccoli and triple delight. Would definitely recommend“

“My husband and I went here for the first time tonight and had a wonderful time! The food was absolutely delicious and hot. Very flavorful and excellently priced. Our server was also very accommodating! We will be telling all our friends about this place and we will definitely be back!“

“Good food and service In they nice and clean“

“I attended a birthday celebration and had an awesome time. The atmosphere was inviting with plenty of seating. The service was fast and friendly...the made you feel welcomed. The food (fried okra) was hot and delicious. Oh, and my drinks (Kettle1,cranberry, and pineapple) were absolutely delicious x3. They were the right temp, evenly mixed, and definitely Not watered down. Everything was cooked to order, so u know it's fresh....All and all everything was great! I would recommend this lounge for meeting up with friends or making new ones!!! It's a great place with a great ambiance, great DJ& music, great service, with great food & libations ?
I give Carters ?????????? with⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️It's a must go to and experience. TTFN ?“
