36 Best Seafood Restaurants near Fultondale

“Love the food. Gluten free peeps - this is a good place for you! They don't have a gluten free "menu" per say, but you can order just about anything with corn tortillas instead of flour and the food has never made us sick, so they don't use gluten-containing spices in their meats, etc. at least not in a concentration to cause issues. Very fast for to-go orders. It's usually pretty loud inside, but feels like home. Drinks are reasonably priced as well.“

“Automatic Seafood and Oysters never disappoints. Hubby and I went there for our anniversary dinner recently. The raw oysters were very fresh and tasty - the perfect beginning to another wonderful culinary experience at this restaurant. For my entree I opted for the blackened pomfret with crawfish beurre blanc. We shared a side of haricot verts - perfectly seasoned. Logan, our waiter, was attentive, efficient and personable. All-in-all a wonderful experience. I held one star on atmosphere simply because I am growing tired of the industrial loft motif in fine dining establishments. C’mon, jazz it up a bit! Also I am a firm believer in comfortable chairs in restaurants (and theirs aren’t particularly comfortable).“

“Finding seating is hard here….And that’s it. That’s the end of the slight detriments.This is some is the best BBQ in birmingham and that’s a pretty big deal.The sweet tea chicken sandwich is FANTASTIC, but I actually tried a burger this time. Don’t usually eat burgers, but I was feeling it. So thrilled I did. The Carolina I think it was? Chili on a burger…. And just enough to not overwhelm everything else.Sides? You can’t go wrong. But the potato salad is my go to.Good prices. Amazing good. Friendly service and atmosphere. Saw’s has it awwwl.Vegetarian options: Why would you go here if you’re a vegetarian?“

“The food here is so amazing! The New Orleans-based decorations and music blasting make it feel familiar inside the building. The staff was extremely nice and patient, answering our questions and making small talk. They're extremely sustainable by using reusable silverware and dishes. However, the tables are close to each other, which adds to the homey/familiar vibe, but it doesn't help with preventing COVID-19. Though, they do offer take-out as a counter! The area is really small with limited parking but the experience there left a big impression.“

“Big generous portions on the jambalaya, I wish it came with more rice though to soak up the nice sauce.?Fried green tomatoes are fried with a cornmeal coating so it’s not like traditional fried stuff, just FYI. I’m on vacation so this was fab“

“Between the dry aged tacos and the quail with a side of “Char”, this place is an amazing spot in Birmingham. I enjoyed half my meal before meeting the owner sitting a couple seats down. He was quick elaborate on the food and hard-work they put into their recipes. Great place with a great team.“

“Our server Chris was exceptional and Aaron behind the bar did not disappoint (but he was raised right). Everything was so tasty and you can tell the kitchen was not afraid to season the food well. Put this on your "must visit now" list immediately.“

“NEW FAVORITE PLACE AND SERVER!! Food was amazing. Best queso and quesadilla in Birmingham. Jake's service was truly exceptional. From the moment we sat down, he exuded professionalism and warmth. He demonstrated an extensive knowledge of the menu, offering insightful recommendations that perfectly suited our preferences. Throughout the meal, Jake was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our glasses were never empty and checking in at the right moments. His friendly demeanor, combined with his impeccable service, made our experience memorable. We left the restaurant with a deep appreciation for his dedication and exceptional hospitality. We will be back!!!“

“They don’t call it soho “social” for nothing. It was very loud inside with all the “socializing” but with limited stops from the waiter/waitress, I feel if we sat outside this review would be better. Food was delicious though. But if you get the maple brussel sprouts be prepared for very crunchy and sweet flavor with very little brussel sprouts. I won’t order them again.“

“The best wings and quesadillas from a food truck I’ve ever had. The sides are crazy big and can all be loaded up with toppings. My wife loves the okra and hot lemon pepper catfish. The Jamaican Jerk wings were excellent fried extra crispy. Philly cheese sandwich and quesadilla were perfect.“

“Update-Thank you Treasha for reaching and looking into this. 3/25/24.My coworkers and I order takeout which two of my coworkers were able to order online. For some reason my order wouldn’t go through online so we called it in. The food was good but my problem is the person who rung up the order decided to add themselves a tip which I wasn’t aware until it posted on my account. I was also charged a takeout fee which my coworkers weren’t charged. Never again will I order from this location.“

“Food-wise this place knocks it outta the park Southern Style and really satisfies (meat and 3? I wanted about 17 of the sides!!). Iconic and recommended, food for everybody and all types dining there (laborers, businessmen, retirees...all here with good reason). Actual dining is a RUSHED experience though, even after prime lunch hours: machine-gun choices lobbed at you, hurried to your table, and be careful using the restroom--you might come back to a bussed & cleaned table!. Meat+3 w/dessert/drink=$24. Nice to see management assisting elderly customers by taking their trays for them. Ample free parking. Large cafeteria seating area. Catfish in Fridays. Would def come back and bring others. Place could prob stand to reinvest and spruce up interior some if possible to not compromise its old timey feel.“

“Last night, my experience at the ocean restaurant was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, George and his fantastic team made us feel incredibly welcome. Our server was attentive and impeccable, enhancing our dining experience with his knowledge and enthusiasm. The menu was a delightful journey through many flavors, starting with fresh oysters and a crisp salad, followed by creamy burrata and sushi that was so fresh and expertly prepared. Both the filet and halibut were cooked to perfection, each bite better than the last. Every dish we tried was a testament to the chef's skill and passion for food. It's rare to find a place that delivers perfection on every plate, but ocean restaurant truly did. We can't wait to return for another unforgettable dining experience!“

“I took my daughter to lunch at Daniel George yesterday. It was delicious. I had the fried oysters with 2 vegetables and my daughter had the crab cakes with 2 vegetables. The service was excellent. This has become my favorite lunch spot because of the food selection, the good service, and the setting. We will definitely be going back soon.“

“Great Chicken and Chinese food! It's not fast food, so it takes a little longer than your McDonalds, but it's worth the wait. Inside is mediocre, recommend takeout. Overall, great place to grab a bite to eat and go, as I come here at least twice a week!“

“Just had the endless steamed shrimp like always!!!! Oh my goodness the seasoning was on point, I asked for them to make the shrimp wet and they were anmazing each refill came out hot and on point!!! The wait staff was super attentive, Thanks MeMe and “

“Finally had a chance to check out Yo Chef and was NOT disappointed! The food, drinks, and atmosphere were definitely a vibe. I had the Rasta Chicken Pasta and my out of town guests had the red snapper. Everyone at the table enjoyed the food and had great things to say about their meal. I will DEFINITELY be returning soon!“

“Always my go to for take out Chinese. Haven't been in SO long but ordered the summer roll and Szechuan combination. Always so god and reasonable prices! Ready in 15. Always on phone taking orders though but she made them wait and took my money so I could head home!“

“The food is amazing everytime I come here. This last time I got it to go and had an hour and a half drive. By the time I got home, my food was still hot and delicious! Also, they have some of the best fried rice ive ever tasted.HIGHLY recommended!!“

“Food was amazing. I ordered on doordash. she was very friendly and substituted my eggs for sausage that was ready so I wouldn't have to wait. Lots of sauce. I added some spices to it but everything was amazing and there was alot on the plate. Would definitely buy again“

“I love this place! Been going for years when in the area as their lemon pepper wings and lemonade are my go-to. Food is consistently fresh and I especially love the amount I get for the value. Avoid high hopes for superb service and you should enjoy thoroughly!“

“Love this restaurant!! All of the staff are friendly and go the extra mile for you. I absolutely love the Dungeness Crab Combo (#4)!! Fantastic!!! Crab, shrimp, sausage, boiled eggs, corn on the cob, and potatoes! Yummmm!!! Love it! I even have left overs for supper tonight! Today we had a new waitress, Brittany, who had just started yesterday. She was absolutely fabulous! Never needed to ask for anything, she was right there!!! She has a great personality and made the experience much more enjoyable! Thanks Brittany!! Can't wait to go back! Strongly recommend folks who like seafood to give this restaurant a visit!“

“Ordered Mongolian beef with rice and an eggroll and ordered two piece whiting fish combo with fries, and a drink. tried both- fish was perfect clean and hot, fries not over seasoned fresh and hot, the Mongolian beef was so good the sauce was perfect and the rice was white rice with soy sauce and eggroll was fresh and crisp. Drink standard Pepsi brand fountain drink.I will definitely be back.“

“Tonight my husband and I went to Ruth Chris for the first time. We got married yesterday and decided to come here to celebrate. We had a 6:15 reservation and when we arrived we were seated promptly. Kayla was our server and time we were seated she instantly came to the table. I have to say that Kayla is a true gem. Her personality and attention to detail were top notch. I want management to know that you all are very fortunate to have a person like Kayla on your team. I observed her waiting 4 tables while giving each one her full attention. She gave us recommendations for drinks and they were spot on. In my opinion she deserves employee of the month or some token to show her that her efforts are not going unnoticed. Kayla if you read this, "Thank You for your kindness."“

“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!“

“Me and my family had the best experience Good Friday that just passed the dj and music was amazing that was our first time going there the food was excellent everything was great I will most definitely go back if it has the same experience I had music fun dj and food I give this place a 100 for staff and everything the season on my food was great atmosphere a plus“

“This is a great Mexican restaurant specializing in seafood dishes. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was great as well. At the time we were there a live band was playing and singing Mexican music. We enjoyed the experience immensely.“

“Great spot to get fresh seafood on demand. They sell raw seafood as well as fresh prepared seafood. I've been eating here for most of my life and they're always on point. Don't let the look of the building fool you, this place is the real deal when it comes to fish.“

“They have a number to call in and pre-order your food but they will not make it until you actually arrived which is unusual but understanding. English translation is somewhat broken but they figure it out and they always double-check to make sure that what you are ordering is what they are cooking and fixing. On any individual meal for one person be expecting to wait at least 15 minutes, if you are ordering for the whole family then 20 to 25 minutes is usually the longest wait time“

“Great wings, fish & fries! Great for drive thru! Dine is available but lacks appeal. Staff is friendly & professional. Only negative is the waiting time, even if you call in your order. It's about equal to wait time if you order when you arrive.“

“I promise you by all that I hold dear that this is going to be the best seafood you will possibly ever get your hands on unless you go and catch your dinner from the ocean itself, the food was beyond top tier, the service was not only above and beyond Cathy was just an absolute delight and if you are worried about pricing then hold no fear. Final statement is this place is outstanding.“

“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.“

“DoorDash!! Hungry and was too lazy to go back out after returning home from work. So, since I enjoyed the last meal from this location, we (my family and I) decided to do a return engagement, so to speak. I ordered the same as before - lemon peppered wings with whiting, and my family members followed suit, ordering the same. It was as good as before. Good meal!!!“

“Came here for dinner while visiting from Cali! I was very impressed by the taste and quality of food. They had lots of options to choose from. I particularly loved that you can get half pounds of a certain item and the bags already come with potatoes, sausage, and corn. Something you have to pay for individually in Cali. We came on a Friday night and there was a DJ as well! Loved it! If ever back down South I will definitely be coming back again!“

“The food is always cooked to desired order. The staff are super friendly and fast. I live 15 minutes away and order online. When I arrive, my food is ready. I'm allowed to check to make sure it's how I've requested. I pass at least 5 chicken joints before I get to this place. That should tell you everything.“
