50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Homewood

“Stopped in for lunch with my toddler and sat outside. Staff was super friendly and welcoming, which was a nice start. Food-wise…it wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, but definitely not the worst either. I’d eat here again.

The kid’s corn dogs were a hit and my daughter devoured them. Fries were very salty (which I actually love), but a bit much for my toddler, so I kept those to myself. The egg rolls were just okay, like a 3/5. They needed a better dipping sauce…. not sure what exactly, but the ones that came with it were kinda blah.

Wings had good flavor, but they had that weird fridge taste… might’ve just been me. I took them home, tossed them in some hot BBQ sauce, hit them with the air fryer, and they turned out pretty tasty.

Sitting outside was fine, but a few patio fans would’ve helped with the heat. There were a lot of flies, but hey….. that’s just outdoor dining sometimes.

Oh and when it’s time to pay, you have to pay on their handheld device and it’s just annoying to me. It’s 2025, just give me a receipt with a QR Code to scan (with exception of paying cash).

Overall, chill spot. I’d come back.“

“I was genuinely excited to try this restaurant after passing by it so many times while traveling through Downtown Homewood. Unfortunately, my experience was a bit of a letdown. That said, it wasn’t terrible by any means, which is why I’m giving it 3 stars. A friend and I dined here together as most of my readers know, I often bring someone along for reviews to offer more than just my own perspective. Appetizer: We started with the Tallulah Wings, opting for the Sweet Heat Dry Rub with Alabama White BBQ sauce. The first surprise was that the wings arrived already coated in the sauce. In my opinion, when a sauce is meant as a dip, it’s best served on the side, not as a coating. Unfortunately, the wings themselves were quite underseasoned it reminded me of drinking a LaCroix, with just a faint whisper of the sweet heat flavor. That said, the little flavor I could taste had a nostalgic charm, reminiscent of Golden Flake potato chips and those are undeniably delicious. I just wish the wings had packed more of a punch. Entrée: Next, we tried the Social Stack, essentially their version of a McDonald's Big Mac. I have to say, it was significantly better than a Big Mac. The sauce was flavorful, the patties were fresh and well-seasoned, and everything came together beautifully. It’s a rich burger, but the crispy, seasoned fries helped balance that richness. The freshness and flavor made this burger a standout I’d absolutely order it again. If it weren’t for the disappointing wings, this meal would have earned a solid 4 out of 5 stars. As it stands, I’m giving it 3 out of 5. However, I do plan to return and explore more of their menu. I believe there’s potential here, and I’m hopeful my next visit will be a more satisfying experience.“

“Amazing quality and so much flavor! May become a weekly stop for our family. Going to challenge my kids to try every dessert once.“

“Amazing flavor! Thought I was just getting short rib takeout. Didn't expect incredible. Tried just one bite in the car before heading home, and ate the whole thing still sitting there! Who knew? I'll be back!“

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

“This was our first visit to Jubilee Joe's, but it won't be our last. The food we ordered was amazing. The Etouffè was the best I have ever eaten, wonderful flavor and a nice kick of heat. We enjoyed it so much, we got some to go. The Seafood Gumbo was top notch. Again amazing flavor. The service was fantastic, as well. Friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Awesomeness! Seafood Shack offers a large selection of delicious choices you wouldn't find in the other Seafood restaurants or any other of restaurants in the area. A huge plus is how NomNom GOOD all of the food offered tastes. Love the prices! Thank you very much for your
service with a smile every time we enter, order, and stay to eat. This restaurant will always know success!“

“One of my favorite restaurants always. Food is consistently good. I seem to get something new each time. Because the waitstaff recommends it and it's always great. Very knowledgeable, wait staff and they attend to you the whole time that you're there.Great experience great date place.“

“My first visit there, but I had read the reviews and was a little sceptical. Yes, the decor was low budget plastic and the disposable plates were still the usual for Covid, but the food was very good. No better fried shrimp and oysters. Everything was cooked to order and hot from the fryer. I think some previous reviewers were expecting Captain D's prices for very good seafood. I will definitely be going back when I want good seafood.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Hot and Fresh Food, Superb Menu!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Food was delicious and Brandi was fabulous!“

“Masa is our absolute FAVORITE place to eat! Our kids LOVE it and the owners treat us like family with warm smiles and big hugs when we come! The food is always excellent with a HUGE sushi menu, we still haven’t tried it all yet but we have loved everything we have tried! Our 6 year olds ask for it all the time! Masa is like our home away from home when we need an excellent meal and don’t feel like cooking!“

“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“

“Nothing fancy, but good food and great service. Have paid much more for much less. Will go again.“

“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.“

“I only give my bartender/server 5 stars.

I don’t understand why you can’t sub the sausage for something as simple as an egg or potato. I can’t consume pork. Either offer an alternative sausage meat or a substitute. Bar was also subpar and not many options to choose from.

The food is actually good though…“

“Flatbread was amazing. Lamb steak was best steak my husband had ever eaten. The filet was perfect. Loved the mashed and broccolini as well. Turtle cheesecake and peanut butter pie desserts were perfect ending. Pricing was very good!! Will definitely recommend and will be back.“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!“

“All the sandwiches I have tried have been awesome (and huge) but if you haven’t tried The Farmers Daughter, you should! Absolutely out of this world. Nothing like it!“

“The food was excellent plus they have a lot of gluten free options. Recommended!“

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

“Good food nice and friendly staff“

“Food is made fresh when you order and the value is great! Their “teas” selection is out of this world! Easily the most delicious drinks I have had in a long time. Wait time for food was appropriate with how busy they were- we waited for about 10 minutes, so it was no big deal. I am definitely going to be a regular at this place from now on!“

“Great food and a fancy experience that is very high touch and low worry!“

“OSushi was a wonderful experience. My husband had sashimi that he said was fresh and delicious. I had chicken (i am not a fish eater), it was delicious too. I will not mind going with my husband at any time! Service was great, atmosphere was beautiful.“

“General manager is doing great with the trainee and staff he was in the lobby while i dined in saturday our cashier she was simply amazing but he just made me feel so at home this store is always so organized polite and clean so its no wonder he was chosen to train here hes doing a really good job and learning alot can’t wait to find out where his location is so I can check it out as well“

“I wanted crab legs for my birthday, and the Crab Barrack did not disappoint! our table started with drinks and the fried calamari, which was delicious. Lightly fried, not greasy, and the meat was tender, not chewy. I ordered a 1/2 pound of crab legs, a lobster tail, and added a boiled egg; all in the garlic butter sauce. It was boiled to perfection! I was able to crack the legs with my hands and pull out solid pieces of meat. The meat was tender and not at all dry. It was the same for the lobster tail. The others at the table ordered fried okra, shrimp, and fish. Everything was delicious and we will definitely be back!!“
