11 Best Seafood Restaurants in Buford

“Awesome 5course tapas and tequila dinner with good friends- we’ll be back!“

“We had a wonderful Easter brunch at Seasons 52. The Shrimp and Grits were outstanding and my husband had the stand up French Toast. The service was impeccable and we sat outside to a beautiful day. Great experience. Will dine again there soon!“

“One of my new favorite places! We went around 2pm the Monday after Mother’s Day.

The food was absolutely amazing! It was all cooked perfectly and tasted so freaking good. It was the first time my husband and I have been and it didn’t disappoint. I got a seafood boil T5 I believe (crab, crawfish, (added) sausage, shrimp, potatoes, corn and (added) boiled eggs) and got it mild with the twisted crab seasoning. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted phenomenal. I’m actually kind of picky as well and was pleasantly surprised that I instantly fell in love. I also might go up a spice level next time.

Our server, Sarah was absolutely amazing! She was so sweet and informative. She really made our first visit a memory. The host as well was kind enough to wipe our menu down as it was still wet from the cleaner they used.

My husband ordered chicken tenders and onion rings. His stomach unfortunately wasn't feeling well the last few days so he didn’t have much of an appetite for anything. However, he had some of his food and was pleased. The rest we took to go and our son ate the rest of his leftovers and was happy. Nice big portion of each tender and onion rings. Also, the cook was nice enough to give a nice big portion of BBQ sauce.

Definitely kid friendly. Only went during the day so can’t speak for the night.

I can’t wait to try their other food options and their adult beverages next time. It all sounded so delicious.

Spent $66.33 for both our orders. We did have 2 sodas and I did add 2 boiled eggs and 1/2 lb of sausage.

Cons:
All MINOR
1.) I had to ask for extra sauce to go. I wasn’t even halfway done with my seafood and most of the sauce was gone. (Maybe because it was that good and it got all soaked up by the seafood.) Ha-ha. My server was so generous to get me more with no problem. Next time, I’ll just be sure to ask and get an extra side for dipping alone, while the main sauce gets soaked up by the seafood.
2.) The crawfish I got, a lot of them were really tiny. There was a few that were a good decent size. Normally, it can’t be helped when you get some small ones but definitely expected a lot more decent sized ones. I will note that I come from Texas so, not sure if my expectations for crawfish is high because of that or it could be just a one off batch. Either way it was still absolutely delicious and will order again.
3.) The booth we sat in had a lot of gnats on the table. We had to keep shooing them away for a little while.
4.) The window we were next to in our booth was not clean. Normally, I don’t really care about things like that but it had a lot of butter and grease smeared all around on it right next to me. I’m sure that could also be another reason for the gnats. I think it was just our booth as the windows didn’t look like ours did. Basically, it looked like someone was having a hard time with their seafood and flung all the juices everywhere.
5.) One menu had the po boy options listed etc. and while the other menu didn’t have it at all and had drinks and other stuff that wasn’t on the other. So, we essentially ended up sharing a menu. Not a big deal to us at all. However, if there was a big party someone might miss out on all the other amazing options they offer and wanted to note it.

Deducted one star for the minor cons listed above.

We will definitely be back, hoping at least once a month. Would highly recommend.“

“Our food was great and the service was exceptional! Definitely coming back when we’re in the area. Ask for Connor (waiter). And the bartender (McKayla’s) daiquiri was delicious!“

“My husband surprised me with a date night at the Blue Mermaid Saturday night. it was soooo good!! Our hostess was so helpful with us choosing what to eat. ( we aren't too familiar with Middle Eastern cuisine) The food was fresh and delicious. We highly recommend this lovely restaurant and are planning to come back soon.“

“For me - this is the best restaurant on Lake Lanier. Love the Buffalo chicken pizza - just add bacon. The salmon BLT is so tasty, too. Hard to go wrong at Twisted Oar.“

“This was my first time back since Covid. The service is great as always. The garlic knots tastes great, but I feel like I had more garlic skin than actualy garlic on them. My go-to is the seafood trio and it was great. The scallops are the only thing that are hit and miss, but this time was perfect. My kids enjoyed their alfredo and spaghetti. The prices aren't bad for what you get, so I definitely recommend checking it out!“

“El customer service es excelente! Maria S nos atendió para ordenar nuestra comida y ella nos recibió y nos trató excelente. Muchas gracias por su servicio, por eso siempre apoyamos y vamos al Taco Veloz en Buford HYW Doraville.“
