Treat yourself to Coastal Flats! The food is fresh and delicious, the ambiance was lively, and the service was friendly and efficient. Scott, our bartender makes a mean Raspberry Lemon drop!

Let me start by saying it would've been 5 stars had there not been condensation dripping from the ceiling air conditioning onto our table. I understand the weather has been weathering, there really wasn't anything that could be done about it. We we allowed to switch tables, the GM was very attentive and offered us free dessert, and our waiter Owen, was the BOMB! Very personable, attentive too. The atmosphere was a nice vibe. Family friendly, but a pre game spot for sure if you know what I mean!!! I enjoyed the music, not too loud, and everything was pretty to look at. Party of 3. Our water glasses stayed filled, and the food was SLAPPIN. I had the fish fingers, and the other parties had the fish of the day (market price), and fish tacos. Every plate left the table EMPTY. And the bread????? Yummy. Smells like doughnuts but isnt sweet. We all had alcoholic beverages. For all that, bill was reasonably priced. My first time visiting, and I will definitely be back again!!!! Oh, and they had vegetarian and gluten free options, allergies was asked about prior to ordering.

While the food was good, I felt that my fish tacos had more coleslaw than fish. My French fries were delicious as well as my cosmo.
What had me most impressed was the service! Never did we have a finished dish or extra glasses on our table for more than a couple of minutes. We went early (5:30pm, on a Friday) and there were plenty of servers available.
Because we went earlier in the evening we were seated immediately and it wasn’t noisy at all. By the time we finished the restaurant was beginning to fill up and get a bit noisier.

Went for mothers far- Excellent resturant and reasonable price for this kind of food . Service was excellent multiple waitresses helped each others and our table. Food was amazing. Had the shrimp and grits and a pasta with seafood and sausage dish. Appatizer was the baby cakes. Their in house biscuits are to die for crusty on the outside and soft and pillowy on the inside. Not to mention the delicious butter they are served with. Will be returning.

Adding here that I took my mom back for her birthday and it was again a great experience. Got the apparel crab and shrimp fritters they were amazing. Mom got the shrimp and grits and loved it as much at I did and I got the fish tacos they were very good. Not too much food. Mom loved the house biscuits as much as we did the first time.

Coastal Flats continues to impress us every time we visit. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a welcoming atmosphere and a staff that is consistently professional, attentive, and genuinely friendly. Their uniforms are always spotless, which speaks volumes about the pride they take in their service and overall presentation.
The restaurant itself is impeccably maintained. With its high ceilings, exposed air ducts, beams, large light fixtures, and impressive hanging fish décor, you might expect dust to gather—but not here. Every corner of the space is immaculate, which only adds to the upscale yet comfortable dining experience.
Now, the food—without fail—is always exceptional. Every dish arrives hot, beautifully plated, and exactly as ordered. Our go-to favorites include the perfectly cooked salmon, the crispy and flavorful fish and chips, the rich and satisfying jambalaya, and the consistently fresh and savory crab cakes. Each meal reflects attention to detail and a real dedication to quality.

Coastal Flats has truly mastered the balance of great service, atmosphere, and cuisine. It’s a place we look forward to returning to time and again. My wife and I are regulars here, and over the course of eight years, we’ve dined at Coastal Flats 79+ times—tracked conveniently through their reservation team based on our phone number. That number doesn’t even reflect the impromptu visits we’ve made, which only speaks to how much we truly enjoy the experience. The consistency is remarkable. Even through the economic pressures of inflation and the pandemic, their prices have remained reasonable and their quality unwavering.
But don’t just take my word for it—visit them today. You won’t be disappointed.

Had the fish of the day, which was grouper. Dish was plated well, and tasted amazing!

Dietary restrictions: There is a large selection of food to choose from, and for those with dietary restrictions, they also give a menu condensing all items onto a single sheet for easier selection.

Atmosphere was perfect. The ribs and cranberry salad were delicious! The waiter forgot the bread order until end of the meal however the sweetened teas made the meal perfect! The meal and atmosphere 10/10.

I arrived for curbside at 1:06pm for a 1:16 pm pick up. My food was inside sitting but not brought out until 1:22pm. When it was brought out, I mentioned I’d been waiting and I tipped. She didn’t care and asked if I wanted to speak to the manager. I said yes. The manager had the same attitude. Didn’t really care, said he’d talk to the staff, asked me if I used the app the say I’d arrived. Lol. So, I’m traveling. There aren’t napkins or utensils in my bag. And pictures are the best proof. No where in my order confirmation does it say to check in. I hope I can upload pics.

The food is so good here! Healthy, fresh yet very satisfying. I have an allergy to Gluten (I'm Celiac) and this restaurant understands and takes this seriously.

My slice of heaven included: Fish tacos w/ sweet potatoes fries, added side of Brussel with candied bacon bits. Shared a dessert of flourless chocolate waffles and ice cream.

Dietary restrictions: Celiac friendly, very knowledgeable staff who checked everything with the kitchen.
