32 Best Seafood Restaurants near Flowery Branch

“We wound up at FishTales today because the parking lot at PigTales was too small to accommodate my Brother-in-laws' RV. No big deal, they are not too far apart. Our taste buds were set on the Fishtales basket (Fried Grouper and fries) and once again, it was delicious. The portion is large enough that my wife and I split it.Our server today was Hannah and she couldn't have been more pleasant and accommodating. When I placed our order, I asked for extra tarter (dill) sauce and when we got our food, we had two extra sauces. I usually have to ask a 2nd time. Great attention to detail. We sat out on the patio under a tiki hut umbrella with a great view of the lake. A most enjoyable lunch! Thanks Hannah and FishTales!“

“Our favorite Mexican restaurant! The manager ,William Fernandez works hard to keep the customers happy by stopping by tables, sees that everything is outstanding from the food to the service. Stop in and you will be very pleased.“

“A local restaurant that has a diverse brunch menu and good service...“

“Holy crab leg!! So dang good. The Cajun season was delicious. I got crab legs and black mussels! Large portions, cooked great, and so yummy!! 10/10 recommend. ⭐️“

“😍I just moved to Gainesville a month ago and have been trying out different places around town. This is my new fav restaurant.“

“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.“

“super muy buena atención“

“Family favorite of ours. Kenz is like family to us now. We always enjoy her company and the staff. Food is always fantastic. Our kids enjoy it too.“

“Awesome staff! Incredible owners! Love the bartender, Jenn. Thanks for your hospitality.“

“We love Pelican Pete’s great for date night or just a casual relaxing lunch. It’s on the water so it’s perfect. The people there are so great and the food is wonderful.!!!! And yes, the drinks are yummy too 💜😍🔥“

“Picked up a go order of wings and fries at Lorio's for a pre-game meal today. BEST wings I've ever eaten; the fries were great, too! And they're just a mile from us. We will definitely be going back!!!“

“My Wife and I had our 32nd anniversary tonight. Brian our server was outstanding. The best filet I've ever had, just outstanding all around.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“my wife and I ate there today and it was delicious. Best part of lunch was the huuuge pan of banana pudding we took home. 5 stars!“

“Yes and No! I live very very close to B&B.. And have gone for ladies night, happy hour and to hear my favorite artist Stephen Lee and band.. but lately it lackluster. One of the managers ( new white dude) was very rude when we walked in… We enjoyed ourselves ANYWAY and tipped the waitress WELL.. I always make reservations and request to be seated in the lounge ( when Steven Lee band performs) with no problem. Last evening for Motown night I made reservations for my two girlfriend’s three days in advance was never told about a $75 per person charge just to go into the lounge. I Called to confirm my reservation last night and that’s when she told me about the $75 per person. We happily went somewhere else. So my yes and no response is go when there’s happy hour and ladies night but when there’s a theme, night, just know that they will apply $75 per person. I think my B&B days are over because I’m #woke to their shenanigans now.“

“Passing through a week ago and pulled this place up on Maps. Not going to lie, when it took us to a place in the gas station parking lot we were not sure but decided to go in and see what they had since there was a constant flow of people doing pickups. We had catfish, wings, chicken gizzards and it was all very good. The catfish was our favorite! Only 2 tables inside but not many folks were eating in, mostly call ahead for pickup. To top it off, I accidentally left my purse on the back of the seat and didn’t realize until we were back home 2 hours away. In a panic, I called and they had just found it and put in the office for me to go back to pick up the next day. Not only hood food but trustworthy people as well!!! I’d definitely go back next time I’m in the area to support these folks.“

“great food & nice service also I like frozen mug“

“Its my Favorite place, After a couple trips the lady upfront memorizes your order- I always go for the same thing because its that good, and the lady there earlier in the days a Sweetheart Its my favorite place to go for the Food, But the genuine Niceness From the people who work there🌺🔥🌺“

“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.“

“Nothing like a 500$ Mothers day lunch for a buffet that was empty the entire time and people were having to use dirty plates multiple times because there were no plates. . I heard lots of people complain and the owner was very rude to them and said buffet wasn't empty when over 60% of containers were empty. We made 6 or 7 trips to buffet searching for food..there was never and shrimp, hashbrown casserole, or many other things. It's sad that an owner can't just say sorry we are working on it. I even saw him hollering at one lady and a man who complained. I would not recommend this place for a special occasion..and with their crappy sanitation grade and rude owner we will not be back.“
