50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Orlando

“Papa Llama, 2840 Curry Ford Road, Orlando- 4-Stars Michelin Recommended- Bib Gourmand! Peruvian immigrants, Kevin and Maria Ruiz, say they founded Papa Llama in 2016 as an experimental pop up and opened the doors of this location in August 2020. In 2022, they earned the Michelin Guide's coveted "Bib Gourmand" award for establishments that serve good food at reasonable prices so naturally, I got excited. Paulina, my server, was well prepared and knowledgeable, making for an auspicious beginning in a gorgeous environment featuring good prices for dishes that could be made to satisfy both carnivores and herbivores alike. I ordered the entire family style menu which was, according to Papa Llama, "designed to be tasted together, shared, and fought over." So much food for just over a hundred dollars. The prices may have been cheap but the taste and quality of (most) victuals valieron un Perú! A hearty Big Boy Thank You (Sulpayki!) to Kevin and Maria and the culinary dactylograms of their ancestors, on this amazing cuisine (Somaq Mihuna!). The first item on the menu was Olives--whole green Castelvetrano olives marinated in house with aji panca--which were so delectable I could eat them all day. Next, the Red + Gold Beets, a minty beet salad with honey ají amarillo vinaigrette, queso fresco, and candied pistachio, which started out smooth and creamy and ended with a pleasantly piquant bite. Papas a la Huancaína followed, a fingerling potato dish with spicy aji amarillo cream, wakatay (black mint) salsa verde, and beef chicharron, topped with a fried egg. The potatoes themselves were not the star, but the combination of flavors in the sauce were amazing, unctuous but smooth. Papa Llama carries a long list of natural wines, more wines than food items, actually. That evening, I chose the Yuzu Sake, and may I say, "Holy smokes!" How refreshing after consuming so many peppers. The rest of the dishes I would give 4.5 to 5-Stars, EXCEPT for the side of frozen Sysco French fries which almost ruined an otherwise stellar meal. There are over 300 kinds of potatoes in Peru. Over 300! Perhaps in the United States we don't have the same abundance as found in El Valle Sagrado (the Sacred Valley) but, por favor, do not stoop to this! The Big Boy says, "Eat here. All the authentic Peruvian flavors at Papa Llama are 5-Star, but skip the fries, which are a corporate conglomerate frozen food disappointment."“

“WOW—my mom and I were blown away. The service, the decor, the drinks, the food. The entire experience was an 11/10 for us. My mother said this was the “best chicken I have ever tasted.” Being GF was no problem at all for me. No complaints, no edits!

Dietary restrictions: Staff were very conscious about our food sensitivities (main one being gluten free). No issue at all ordering off the menu and the food was divine.“

“As a regular at Bonefish Grill, I can say this place never disappoints. The food is consistently fresh and flavorful.

Everything is top-notch. The drink menu is just as impressive, with creative cocktails. Lately, my go-to has been the smoky old-fashioned, also good selection for beer and wine.

The staff is always attentive, welcoming, and genuinely seem to care that you have a great experience.

Bonefish has become one of my go-to spots for a consistently enjoyable dining experience, at least once a week for us. Recommend for both casual nights out and special occasions!“

“Food was amazing. The prices are good even seafood at a higher market price. Definitely worth every penny. With atmosphere was great. They gave us everything. We needed crackers to crack the claws garbage cans to put our waste in. Definitely my favorite seafood boil spot in Orlando.“

“Everything was amazing but I have to give a shout out to my waitress Yesenia and the kitchen staff Israel, Josuany and Hilda. We arrived an hr before the kitchen closed and they made our food to perfection. And I wanted to take a last minute order to go and they were so kind about it and made my meal though the kitchen was closed. They absolutely didn’t have to. It’s these small things that aren’t so small. You guys made my husbands birthday night amazing by going above and beyond and I’m grateful. ❤️ thank you!“

“We were in from St Louis staying at Universal..we got a Lyft to go out to a local restaurant on a hunt for a seafood boil..we found THE BEST SEAFOOD BOIL EVER at Mr. & Mrs. Crab!!! My daughter was over the moon! We did the build your own and it was absolutely perfect with crab, shrimp & lobster tail! We picked the sauce and we opted no seasoning/spice, you get to pick your flavor and spice level separately!!.. SO DELICIOUS!!! All of it, including potatoes and corn were cooked to perfection! The staff were so friendly and welcoming! The food was ready fairly quick, not much of a wait at all! The place is decorated in a cute nautical theme! It was very clean!We will definitely be back, every time we are in Orlando! (Whoever the server was on Fri night/5-31-24, was a complete sweetheart!)“

“Manny gave us GREAT service.“

“Great experience at Bubba Gump in Orlando today! Finished up at Universal with my wife and daughter (her 9th birthday) and our daughter wanted to eat here. Doug was our waiter, he was very nice, knowledgeable of the menu, played a little trivia with us and responsive! Great server! Spinach artichoke dip was tasty, shrimp ravioli was fantastic and bourbon street mahi was good too! To top it off the staff came out and sang a birthday song with an ice cream sandwich. Great time all around! Thanks Doug for being a rockstar waiter and making our meal that much better!“

“Since we came here one time, we come every time we visit Orlando! Hands down the best food in Orlando!

Vegetarian options: Couple vegetarian options, decent dairy free options.

Dietary restrictions: Dairy allergy

Kid-friendliness: Even though it's pretty upscale, kids are welcomed and they are pretty friendly.“

“Went for happy hour and sat at the outside bar. Nice set up. Place was hopping so service was a little slower but still good. Enjoyed some drinks and food special. The piranha ribs sounded interesting and were a hit. Golden shrimp was decent and the tuna poke nachos were really good. 2 dollar oysters are a good price too. Definitely coming back.“

“THE FOOD , THE FOOD SOOO GOOD !!!!! Excellent Service , our server was dee and from start to finish he was amazing and so helpful great spirit. We will return again !!! We got the seafood boil, fried shrimp basket, and calamari… The margaritas made me so happy . Thanks dee for the wonderful experience.“

“Affordable food, fun atmosphere!“

“Great experience all around! Ribeyes were amazing! So much flavor and cooked perfect“

“You guys HAVE to eat at this place. It is SOO GOOD yall, it’ll put any other seafood place you’ve been to look like a joke fr. It’s run by this super cool guy named Amir. He uses ACTUAL SEASONING. He and his crew make all food, drinks, pastries and seasoning blends from scratch. It’s 100% worth the price and the drive!! I swear, you’ll mess around and hurt yourself lol.???“

“As a vegan I always have to be creative with what I'm purchasing if Im Out and about.I always get their fries , potatoes and corn without butter just seasoning.I've been going to this location for some time.I will say the fries are good but not as good as they use to be. A little skimp on the seasoning.Other than that everything else is good.A perfect place to get food without spending an arm and a leg.“

“Hands down the best seafood I have had in a very long time. I was lucky to try this great food at a food truck Friday. The chicken and shrimp, my wife and 3 year old enjoyed. I went with the shrimp and crab. It was amazing. Fresh cooked to order. It came with potatoes, sausage and an ear of corn all smothered in this amazing homemade butter.I could go on and on about how great this meal was. And normally I don’t write about food, but this deserves 5 stars and more.I hope they are back in my town again next month because I really want to try the lobster.Great customer service and great people all around. Give them a try and you will not be disappointed.“

“Hello crab lovers, a week ago my husband and I visited this location. We purchased the jumbo blue crabs and they did not disappoint, the blue crabs were cooked perfectly and seasoned to perfection. So, it’s only been a week and we are heading to purchase more. Did I forget to say we drive 1 & 1/2 hours to purchase them. This place seafood is so delicious and satisfying.“
