50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Louisville

“Our 1st time to dine at this fine establishment. My partner and I had to speak to the Manager,Michael, because we have never had service and food at this excellent level before. From the wonderful hostess all the way through the end. The staff worked as a team and made sure every guest felt special and never neglected. Our server anticipated every need we had. The prices were reasonable and we will definitely return in the future. We have been to several restaurants throughout the country and this one by far was unbelievable great service.“

“Very good place to go for a good meal. Take a jacket or sweater if you are cold nature like me, reason I was cold but I had two cups of coffee.
I will be back love the place.
Just a hint I noticed outside dining maybe consider making it screened in. The Pork Loin, Prime rib, Salmon, broccoli, smashed potatoes, baked potatoes. And our appetizer was the Mexico City Spinach Con Queso with tortilla chips.

Parking: Very good spacious parking no steps.“

“Everything was amazing, the food tasted so fresh and the bourbon cocktails was the best I’ve ever had. Our server Jack was incredible and definitely deserves a raise!“

“The menu prices are outdated. Add roughly $2.45 for the sandwiches and the combos. The brownies are now $2.50.“

“Amazing food! Get the scallops, you won’t be disappointed!“

“We ordered from the lunch specials and we were extremely impressed with the quality of the food. The spinach and artichoke appetizer with lump crab was wonderful! The salmon croquette on the lunch menu was amazing! The smoked old fashioned was a special treat! The service was spot on and the waiter made our lunch date special!“

“This was absolutely fantastic food - definitely a party for your taste buds! We had waffle with bacon and the Atlantic salad. Both dishes were wonderful and very filling.“

“Great place 10 out of 10 I would try this place it's really good!“

“We get fish from here quite frequently. It's one of the best fish restaurants around. I usually get one piece of fish, one order of fried shrimp, and one order of onion rings. I share the shrimp and onion rings with my husband. So yummy!“

“Our visit to BTS was awesome. This place should be awarded a Michelin star! Everyone in the group arrived separately and was brought to our table. I started with a caesar salad with chicken which was a nice addition. The parmaesan cheese tasted like it was just freshly cut! Our entrees arrived and mine was cooked to perfection. The red sauce was soooo tasty! Everyone in our group enjoyed themselves. The decor is gorgeous and the presentation of our meals was upscale. Patty was excellent, refilled our drinks promptly and overall just took great care of us. For those reading there is a big parking lot in the back which I had no trouble parking my truck. Also our previous visits we didn't book thru Open Table since it was just us 2, but those were just as good!“

“The Food was good. This was my first time at this location. The lady that took my order wasn't terribly friendly, like she was tired of dealing with people. The restaurant was quite small, the waiting area was small also. People standing in front of the door waiting g for their orders.“

“Very clean and great service“

“Been going to Shark's ?for a while, I love everything about them especially the pan fried oysters and catfish nuggets ?. They have the best cook ? in Kentucky and the best hospitality....Jay and Leonard they are the best!!!! The food is super, the restaurant is very clean..“

“They are a good influence for the little ones and older teen agers“

“If you’re looking for an authentic taste of India in a warm and inviting atmosphere, Shalimar Indian Restaurant is a must-visit! From the moment we walked in, the vibrant decor and the spicy aroma wafting through the air set the stage for an exceptional dining experience.

The menu is extensive, offering a delightful array of traditional dishes that cater to both carnivores and vegetarians alike. We started with the samosas, which were perfectly crisp on the outside with a flavorful spiced potato filling that left us eager for more. For the main course, we opted for the butter chicken and the paneer tikka masala, both of which were rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. The naan was freshly made – fluffy and perfect for scooping up the delicious sauces.

What really stood out was the attentive service. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and offered helpful recommendations based on our taste preferences. The overall atmosphere was lively yet relaxed, making it a great spot for a casual dinner or a special occasion.

Don’t forget to try their mango lassi for a refreshing complement to your meal! Overall, Shalimar Indian Restaurant exceeded our expectations and I can’t wait to return to explore more of their offerings. Highly recommended for anyone craving a true Indian culinary experience!“

“Fish platter is a good value. The fish is actually better than I remembered from years past. Coleslaw is awesome and the fries were good too. Wish they’d throw hush puppies in there as well but I’m sure they’re good too. Def a hidden gem. And they take credit now which is nice.“

“Good food and nice employees. Only complaint is the fact that they charge for ketchup and tarter. Just seems weird to me is all. They do not take apple or Google pay either

Kid-friendliness: Kids meal seems to be the best deal.“

“We celebrated our anniversary here yesterday with a delicious lunch. Our server, Amanda, was so friendly and helpful! Hubby had the cod and fried oysters and declared the oysters were the best he ever had. My shrimp basket was loaded with huge shrimp and the Cajun fries were very good. We topped that great meal off with complimentary slices of strawberry and chocolate cheesecakes for our anniversary! We will definitely be back!“

“Out of all the "fast food" fish places, this one is the best! Personally, I order the Fish and Clams when I go, you dont have to order that but you're also entitled to have a wrong opinion of the best thing to eat, Perfect place for a 3rd date, would willingly fight a goose in the parking lot to get inside if I had to, inside its exactly what you would expect... old people taking up all the tables like some sort of early dinner club, I believe I was the only person not wearing geriatric tennis shoes out of all of my visits there. I feel like the restaurant is slightly misleading because they dont actually have whale on the menu, it seems like basic white fish, the same as the old people inside (basic and white). Overall have went, have returned and Lord willing will return again.“

“Great menu, amazing service and outstanding food! Go try it for yourself!!“

“Small portions and slow service. Food was cold. Would not go back“

“The service was very good and the inside, atmosphere was really nice. the food was average. If you are going to charge $27.99 for a seafood entree, you can't serve it with pre - breaded frozen shrimp and clams. I'll try something different next time.“

“I love this place! We always get the best food and the best service. Tonight our server was KiKi. She was awesome!!��“

“I am gluten intolerant and while the menu is not GF specific the waiter understood gluten intolerance and suggested dishes I would be comfortable with.“

“Connors has been a longtime favorite of ours. Over the years, we have had several good meals here, with service that often went above and beyond. I know how hard restaurant work is, and I’ve always appreciated the care the staff put in. But our most recent experience left us disappointed. The service was unexpectedly inattentive. We ordered a nice bottle of wine, but our server never returned to refill our glasses. A French fry order was forgotten, and when we asked about it, things seemed to unravel. The server was visibly exasperated. A supervisor eventually stepped in, handled things professionally, and assigned a new server—but by then the mood had shifted. This wasn’t just any lunch—it was a farewell meal with a dear friend leaving town, and I’d hoped for a flawless experience. At over $230, I expected more attentive service. I don’t share this lightly. Connors has been a place we’ve enjoyed many times. But this visit left me disappointed, and I won’t be returning anytime soon. There are many excellent Sarasota restaurants where $250 buys not just a good meal, but service that feels genuinely welcoming.“

“This is my favorite place for fish! For whatever reason I ordered a fish box for 2. Then drove over an hour to meet a friendThe fish had separated, not 1 big piece of fish for sandwich. However, the awesome fish boxes I do get far outweigh the m ot so good. I will be back!

Parking: Plentiful!“

“I noticed they have more seafood in the bag than other places. customer service was good and they quick too.“

“Came here to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, and it was truly a memorable experience. We received some of the best service we’ve had in a long time—Tryston and (I believe) Tessa were absolutely amazing! So kind, attentive, and professional. The entire staff was phenomenal.

The food? Incredible. Every dish was beautifully plated and full of flavor. The steak with black truffle butter was to die for. Drinks were good ! I also loved the thoughtful extra touches they added to make the evening special. Even the manager stopped by at the end of our meal to check in and say happy birthday, which I really appreciated.

Highly recommend—can’t wait to come back!“

“Great food at a reasonable price. The fish is delicious. Professional and courteous service.“

“Best around“

“Make sure to say hello to Chris behind the bar!! And order a Shrimp Wreck Mary.“

“Diverse and delicious menu. Great atmosphere and ambience.“

“we absolutely love frequent visits to Pass times..the fish is down right amazing ....but the service is exceptional and makes our trip from Shelbyville. there aren't alot of places you can go and the quality and service are both exceptional and y'all are making it happen. we enjoy it every time. thanks for all you do.“

“The atmosphere is fine, the service of the children is incredible, they are very attentive and polite, but the food... ? I didn't like it very much, I've known so many places across the country, for my worst, not the worst but the baddest, I ate tacos, roasted food, and ate flan, the worst being flan, pure sugar and fruit. I think they can improve a bit.“

“Martie D. was and maybe the best waiter that I've ever had. I wish I could give his service 6 Stars!“

“What not to like, service and food is wonderful. Just priced a bit $$$$$$. But, why not.“

“Friendliest staff!! Most delicious food! All around perfect dining experience!!“

“I like Brian the bar tender. He is nice, friendly and does a good job. He sure knows how to make a good manHatton I would recommend this place to every body.“

“My friends and I went to the restaurant on May 10, 2025, and we were impressed! The food was fantastic and we will be back m. The service was amazing and we had a phenomenal experience. I highly recommend everyone to check out this restaurant.“

“Just moved to Louisville 2 months ago and I can’t get enough of this delicious food. Easily one of my favorite places here.“

“Wonderful dining experience. Highly recommend!“

“Best Fish in Louisville area 🙂😃“

“Very very friendly staff & excellent food! Would highly recommend it to others!“

“The taste brought from Korea, not the Korean food sold in the United States.

It is not the sweet, salty, and spicy American Korean food, but rather Korean food for people who have just moved from Korea and have not yet fully adapted to life in the United States. The mild seasoning is the most attractive.

Not only is the food delicious, but I also give high marks to the neat and tidy appearance. Thank you for providing the highest quality Korean food in the heart of Kentucky.“

“Food was prepared so well!! All our dishes were nice portions, excellently prepared. Sangria was better than we had in Spain! Waitress was very busy but served us well The only big negative was the noise level. You could not hear folks at your table We would return considering the food was top notch! Yummy mushroom soup, crepe, meat croquettes, empanadas, etc.“

“My food was great. My fiancé’s chicken parmigiana was plain. No seasoning. $18 for an Oktoberfest 😵 I can buy a 24 pack for $17.49. Over charge much.“

“such an elegant atmosphere with affordable dishes. The service was fantastic. I ordered the blackened salmon Caesar salad, which was the best Caesar I have ever had. Also the tiramisu was fantastic.. this is a great ambience restaurant if you’re looking for a classy place to go for lunch or dinner that has an elegant comfortable atmosphere“

“This place is a 10/10! The atmosphere and staff were AMAZING!! We came to Louisville for the day to find my wedding dress. After I said yes to the dress we decided to try Mussel and Burger Bar! They made my day 1000x extra special, took care of my food and drinks, and even gave me a platter of desserts to try! We are coming back to Louisville for my bachelorette and we will definitely be visiting this place again! The seafood burger was also delicious!“

“Excellent food ,lot of choices and great people/service! I d recommend giving it a try!“

“I cannot say enough Love This restaurant !! Fun with Band and Food is outstanding!!“
