Have been wanting to stop in here and decided my birthday was the day to go.They weren't busy, but seating was a little slow and there was no greeter at the door.They have me a great little spot, and once seated, I took a good look around. It is LOADED with all things nautical!I came in for the AYCE shrimp, so I didn't need time to peruse the menu. They're training some new people, so there was, again, some wait time, but with a view of the river, unless you've got somewhere to be... what's the big deal?Kayla (trainer) and Hannah were professional and personable.I don't drink much at all due to migraines, but I did want a celebratory beverage, so I asked what kind of vodka the had. I have to be so careful but Kayla was a gem educating me about Valentines. I do very little gluten, so I'd tried Tito, but I still got a headache. I can usually tell from the first sip, and low and behold, the only thing I got from the #incredible3olivedirtymartini was a very nice buzzzzz?. Did I mention the olive choices were jalapeño, Bleu cheese and salmon? Of course, I had one of each.I'm not a big potato person, but I went w/ their homemade chips. They were perfect crunch/texture/browning but a tad too salty for my taste. Still would recommend. The shrimp were, in fact, jumbo. I'm not big on breading (Gluten), but, if it's crispy, we are going to eat our limit. And it was.The shrimp itself was firm, no mushiness.Pass on the cocktail sauce.I prefer lemon.The coleslaw was very robust. Coleslaw is usualy just a side. This slaw has personality!A good amount of dill (always good, not a given).I'm going to give that a try at home.Thank you.I was able to roam around and get some shots. What a fun place.Gr8 view from the upstairs!The upper area would make a gr8 place for a shower or get together, I would think. I don't know if they do that.There's also a sit down bar area where you can just enjoy a beverage or food of choice.All in all, #MCFC capped off a gr8 birthday.Thanks to the crew!Kudos to the chef.NB: The young man who was so diligently keeping the tables in order could help man the door.I almost left...I thought it was odd no one seated me for a good 5 min after I walked in.He's a go-getter- and i told him so! That's good to see.#FuturesSoBright?#MarineCityFishCompanyDietary restrictions: Valentine vodka is Gluten free!

Fish was barely warm , French fries were barely warm and overcooked. Do not care for the panko bread coating . It overpowers the fish. Won't be back since they use that coating on all their fish and shrimp. ☹️ Disappointed! 4 16 24

I was screaming at my husband, and he could barely hear me in here. The large dining space NEEDS some soundproofing. The food is good, portions a little small for the price.Their fries suck, too.Kid-friendliness: They have a baby changing station in the bathroom

This is quite possibly the most overrated restaurant in Marine City. By no means is it terrible, but I do question these 5 star reviews, and I am not even a picky eater. I’ve had two of the worst meals I’ve ever had at a restaurant here, no exaggeration. I think people really just like the ambiance of the place and it colors their opinion of the food. The last time we were there we had the all you can eat walleye and the fish was decent. However, my wife had the fries which were obviously frozen from Costco. I just feel that for how this place presents itself the food would be at least a little better.Ps No beer on tap

My first time there and I was very pleased with everything from the wait staff to the food and atmosphere. The hamburger that i ordered was big and delicious. The restaurant was beautiful and very clean. I will most definitely go back .Parking: We parked almost in front the restaurant
My recent visit was not enjoyable. We were seated and ordered drinks and appetizers at the same time. When the drinks came out, we placed our orders for our dinners. The appetizers came out in a reasonable amount of time, maybe 20 minutes. The appetizers were good. After that, we had to wait 30 minutes for our soup and salads. Then, after we finished our soup and salads, the wait for our dinners was another 30 minutes. The dinners were mediocre. The waitress kept coming by and trying to play it off that there wasn't an issue. We watched other customers seated after us get their entire meal and leave before we got our dinner. There were plenty of empty tables in the restaurant, so we knew they weren't too busy. I don't know if someone messed up our meal or forgot to turn in our ticket, but there was no reason given our apology made. Also, the music was ok, but the volume was way too loud. I don't recommend this place.

Ordered fish tacos to go, menu says served with salsa sour cream and cabbage, got home to tortillas with fish , broccoli, peppers... she ordered fish and did not get tarter ! Don't normally post reviews, but very surprised that this busy spot has yet to serve us a good meal!
