31 Best Seafood Restaurants in Columbus

“We came in our last night with our son for dinner. Ashlei was our server. Dinner was outstanding & the service was top notch. We never had to ask for anything from refills to extra napkins. Anticipated our needs during service & even packaged our to-go bags like family would sending home left overs. Highly recommend this restaurant, ask for Ashlei if you go. 5 stars 🌟“

“Great experience and great food will definitely be returning to review another item on them menu that looked good .“

“My husband I dined here after a show at Springer. The staff were very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. I enjoyed the decor, especially the little lights on the tables. My husband ordered a steak, and I chose the crab cakes. My husband’s steak was cooked to perfection, and both meals tasted very fresh and delicious. The prices were very reasonable for the portion sizes and the quality of the food. We plan to visit again, and I would highly recommend this restaurant if you want quality food and exceptional service.“

“The food & service was great!“

“Being from Lafayette Louisiana I was iffy about trying Cajun food from Georgia, but I well tell you I was glad I did. The boudin was amazing, the crawfish was juicy. I will 100% have to come back and try other stuff. Just for the little bit I was in there eating I felt like I was back at home“

“Food was great, server was attentive and friendly atmosphere.“

“The food was amazing!! The vibe was a great experience! Victoria was my waiter she was top notch! I will be coming back“

“The Loft is the #1 spot for live music in Columbus. They offer a variety of music on a few different stages and have excellent sound equipment and technicians. They are also known for exceptional staff and service. It is a staple in the southern music scene, and the owner has been providing top notch entertainment nonstop since the 1990's.“

“Food was hot, fresh and delicious! Great customer service!! Definitely recommend them :)“

“Very pleasant people kind“

“Food is cooked fresh while you wait, which isn't very long. Very generous portions. Their grilled chicken salad is huge compared to most eateries. It's loaded with fresh vegetables and doesn't come with bacon. Staff at every location I visit treat you with respect. $20 goes a long way.“

“slow getting our food, but worth the wait.“

“everything is cooked to order and Everything is Wonderful even the Thai Tea!“

“Always great food and every time they send a bonus of something free, Chinese donuts etc. always delicious!“

“The food and the service is excellent“

“I've been going to this Sharks location for about 5 years, and I've never had a problem with ANYTHING, LIKE EVER!!! That definitely deserves a shout-out!!! And no matter what I order, the food is always hot and fresh. I also want to recommend the whole catfish plate and the cheesecake!!!“

“Best Chinese food in Columbus! Very pleasant owners and staff. Food is absolutely the best! Always served hot! Each dish is unique in its flavors. Highly recommend!“

“I finally made it to Monarca Mexican Restaurant, and I have to say I was impressed. Being from California, I’m usually pretty critical when it comes to Mexican food, but Monarca delivered.

The ceviche was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The shrimp, avocado, mango, tomatoes, and onions all tasted fresh and balanced, letting the ingredients shine instead of drowning everything in sauce. The pork belly tostones were another standout: crispy, rich, and packed with flavor.

What I appreciated most was the attention to presentation and quality. The food looked as good as it tasted, and everything arrived fresh and well-prepared. The atmosphere felt modern and upscale, and the service was friendly and attentive.

I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu. If you’re looking for Mexican food that’s a step above the usual Tex-Mex experience in Columbus, Monarca is worth a visit. 🌮🍤🥑“

“There aren’t any Captain D’s where I live, so I can only get it in the south when I’m down here. I did the drive-thru for an early lunch. The ultimate feast was good; I got okra and fries (which were perfectly crispy). The fish was good as usual; not as greasy as LJS, and with a lighter flavor. Shrimp & stuffed crab were great as well. Good customer service at the drive thru.“

“Everyone was friendly and professional when I came inside to pick up my order. The wings are always delicious, crispy, flavorful, and hot! There are plenty of flavors to choose from, my personal favorite is the honey lemon pepper! Try them for yourself and you won't be disappointed.“

“Haven't been here in years.
But I love chicken tenders. So I decided to give them a try.

Well when I tell you, they did not disappoint. AT ALL.

When I got to the box to order my food, I knew what I wanted and the lady on the other end, understood me well. She was very friendly and nice and didnt get my order wrong. When I got to the window, she was still polite and made sure I got what I needed for my food. When I open my box..... BABBBBY. MY FOOD WAS HOT, FRESH AND DELICIOUS 😋 😍.

I will be returning. The service was great and so was the food.

(I ordered 2 chicken dinners)“

“awesome I must say I'm in love with the tenders“

“I have never received worse service than this red lobster location. $220 on my mom's Birthday and had to ask for the check, to-go boxes, crab legs, asparagus, crab topping, ranch, fries, and refills repeatedly for almost 2 hours. Yes, it took an hour and a half to get the check and to-go boxes. We finally got all the food right before the check. We didn't even eat because we were full from the app and biscuits since we had no other food the entire time. We also had to clear the table ourselves. Once we finally got the check, the server didn't bring our card back until 15 minutes later with another table's food. We have come here 3 times this month and will never return because of today's experience. I highly recommend "Jules" consider a new career. This isn't it girl. And playing ditsy when customers are clearly irritated at the incompetence isn't it either.“

“We started out having a bad experience with William. He wasn't very knowledgeable about the menu. Everything was he didn't know. It appeared that he did not want to serve us or the other tables around. Listening to the statement he made that these doesn't look like good tipping tables. We ordered but asked for the manager. We watched him never go to the manager, we asked for several items that he never brought. As the manager, Amanda or Maranda was making rounds again, we told her what was happening and how we felt. She most definitely turned everything around!! She refilled our drinks and brought more bread. William had gave me my Mariners boil and all of the sauce was at the bottom. She brought more hot garlic sauce and made my meal look like the picture. I forgot to mention she had me join a club where I get free food if I get a certain amount of points. Andddd she helped me create a mukbang tik tok! Red Lobster has definitely gotten better!!!! See u when we return!

Update: I dined in tonight for the all you can eat shrimp!!!! Loved the service and food!“

“This is a must stop at I go everytime I'm in town I use to go to the one in Phenix City until my friend took me here and the food is so much better and that Strawberry cheesecake is a must pick up. The ladies here have you in and out with no headache.“

“I love the Lemon Pepper White fish.“

“Okay, anyone who comes on here crying about no flavor should probably go see a doctor. The food was OUTSTANDING. You could taste the flavors, there was a little spice on a few items, as expected and explained. You won't come here and have your taste buds assassinated with heat hiding flavor. Instead, you're getting a delicious Cajun flavored meal that will delight the senses.“

“By far the most authentic I’ve found! Amazing staff! Very friendly will be back over and over! Love love love! My belly is full and my heart is happy“

“This place is great!!! Food is phenomenal, service was amazing, and the atmosphere was fun! Just went tonight and we will be going back very soon!!!! Heck, I’d drive back from Nashville TN to eat there again!!“

“The Place Is Clean , The Young Lady At The Counter Is Sweet And Very Helpful. The Food Was Hot And Fresh Eggroll Wasn’t Cooked All The Way Through But Otha Than That It Was Good. We Ordered Sesame Chicken And General Tso Chicken ! The Sesame Was Good ! But The Gen. Tso Had A Funny Taste To It And It Wasnt Spicy At All.“
