50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Rochester

“We were looking for a place to have lunch on the water. The patio table overlooking the creek was lovely. We shared the turkey reuben, delicious. We had a grouper taco as well which was amazing. I also had a cup of their James Beard award winning clam chowder. It was the best I’ve ever had, and my wife who doesn’t like chowder enjoyed it as well. We will be back!“

“It's our favorite restaurant. It's crowded and somewhat loud on a busy evening, but I think that's what gives it that local pub ambience. The food is reasonably priced and excellent. THeir gazpacho is phenomenal! (Those jerks won't share their recipe!) There is usually a short wait for a table on busy nights, but that's a good sign, no?“

Keep up your good work guys and thank you very much.“

“My husband and i came for lunch at 2pm on a Sunday (today) to a SLAMMED restaurant. Only one man seemed to be working the floor, which we found out later was the GM, Pudge. He was OUTSTANDING! He was cleaning tables, seating people, taking orders, delivering orders, prebussing tables, making drinks from the bar, THE WHOLE DEAL. On top of that he made time to stop by the table NUMEROUS times to make sure our experience was amazing, which it was. My husband loved his seafood boil and my chicken tenders were great! Because of today’s experience, we will absolutely be back! THANK YOU Pudge, for an excellent experience! I can’t tell you the last time. I had a wonderful over the top great experience at a restaurant.“

Scallops for the wife and lamb chops for me were the BEST!!! Made for a great night. Item #1 - Chris Dan......, our Waiter was Exceptional!!!. Knows what he is doing that is for sure. Great attitude, funny, professional by far, knows how to do a great job, and offered some great selections (the porcini rubbed Lamb Chops were the best I have ever had). He made it a very nice night!“

“Had a good experience at Sedona Taphouse in Troy. Our server was nice, although it took a little while to get our order in and for someone to check back with us. I ordered the Caribbean Crab Sandwich. It was tasty, but a little small for $18, so I was hoping for a bit more value for the price. The restaurant was also pretty noisy. The Cactus Lemonade was delicious, though—that was definitely a highlight! Parking is free, which was nice, even though I had to park toward the back. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and would give it 4 stars.“

“Hazels has a wonderful quarterly rotating menu, and the fresh options are off the charts. Worth the drive to Birmingham for this one. The quality is very good and they take a lot of care in their service and space. Highly recommend- there’s something for everyone!“

“A great dining experience with an inviting atmosphere and an upscale yet comfortable setting. The steaks are flavorful, well-prepared, and nicely presented, while the menu offers a great variety of options.
The service is attentive and professional, adding to the overall experience.“

“Was my first time in Churchill’s yesterday, 03/28. Had no idea what to expect, never understood the purpose of the cigar. With that being said, I cannot wait to go back. Our waiter was great, the old fashioned was amazing and that cigar…now I get it!! So relaxing, great atmosphere and with a great tour guide who was also celebrating his birthday. That’s where he wanted to go, I’m sure glad he did!!! Highly recommend!“

“I had an amazing experience at this cigar lounge, thanks to Lena, the general manager. From the moment we walked in, she made us feel genuinely welcome and comfortable. Her service was outstanding attentive, friendly, and truly above and beyond. Lena is a true professional, and she made our visit memorable. We’ll definitely be returning!“

“Saw this place on Chowdowndetroit. Thought it would be a nice place to take my Filipina wife for her birthday meal. It was like walking into a nice simple restaurant back in the Philippines. Even had the Filipino favorite past time a Karaoke machine just like back home. The only thing missing were the chickens running around outside crowing. The owners were warm and welcoming with a sense of humor. The food was just like back in the Philippines flavorful and filling. For the price it was a value for the combo meal the right amount of food for one person or split between 2 for a light meal. Of the 4 of us eating I was a piggy and ate it all but the other 3 had leftovers to take home. They offer other thing Filipino to go items from the little Filipino (Sari-Sari) store they have. Overall, it's a place I would drive to from Lansing (1hr 20 min drive) again for on a special occasion. This is a slice of the Philippines in metro Detroit.“

“Delicious and authentic Polish food, great atmosphere, and kind staff. Many choices of food and drinks. We enjoyed Polish rosół (chicken noodle soup), which was absolutely amazing! Also, pork chops with mashed potatoes and coleslaw were delicious. It all definitely hit the spot. Furthermore, they have Polish beer and other drinks to complete the meal. Best Polish Food around!“

“Some middle aged man pushed me into a TV there. very great service.. the man was rather hot.“

“5 STARS! Absolutely FANTASTIC!

Flame Grill Indian Cuisine in Bloomfield Township is an absolute GEM! Seriously, if you haven't eaten here yet, you're missing out on something special!

The Chicken Tikka Masala was OUTSTANDING! Bursting with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. And the Korma? OH. MY. GOD. Just incredible! Rich, flavorful, and so ridiculously good that we were already thinking about coming back before we'd even finished eating!

But here's the best part: THE MUSIC! The atmosphere was fantastic, and the music was so good we literally couldn't help singing along! When you're enjoying amazing Indian food AND having your own little sing-along at the table, you know you've found somewhere special!

Between the phenomenal food, incredible flavors, and ridiculously fun atmosphere, Flame Grill absolutely knocked it out of the park!

Five stars aren't enough!

We'll DEFINITELY be back! Come hungry, bring your appetite, and your singing voice!“

“Happy Hour !! Good and plentiful @ $7“

“My wife said the salad and Lasagna were exceptional. My Pork Chop was well prepared and tasty. However, the garlic mashed potatoes were terrible. Tasted like instant potatoes and watery. Wondering what went wrong.“

“Excellent service all around and delicious food!“

“The food is AMAZING! The people working hard to make it all happen are so friendly and AMAZING. Kabob Hut Thank you for all you do.“

“Dinner was fabulous and staff is top notch.“

“We celebrated My Husband Birthday Everything Was Perfect Thank You For An Awesome Experience Our 1st Time There 🥰Definitely Will Be Back And Highly Recommended 🥰“

“The best Chinese in the state of Michigan . We used to live a couple of blocks down auburn rd and we would take out once a week. Now the last 5 years whenever the wife , kids and I want Chinese we have to drive 1/2 hour to get Pings . Really there is no eating at another Chinese place once you have one bite of their generous and delectable proportions . House made duck sauce and egg rolls are the best ever !“

“Absolutely the best most amazing place I’ve ever eaten. not only is every single thing I’ve eaten here delicious, but the service is 100/10.

Me and my sister come here every single week, multiple times. ( we gained most our pregnancy weight here hehe ) if it wasn’t for this place I wouldn’t have had a nice balanced diet and properly gained the weight I needed because I struggle eating pregnant.

My sister just had her baby we even came here right before she went to the hospital for a final meal before labor 😂 we missed out on a few weeks but just came back yesterday. We couldn’t stay away for the food is always a huge craved obsession.

My daughter loves it too 😂🙆🏼‍♀️

Krista, and the chef Franco have become such wonderful parts of our enjoyment here, always check in on us, how we’re doing, and remember the smallest details. We’re always excited to see them, my daughter gets overly joyed and calls them besty😂❤️. Definitely Can’t forget how amazing and sweet Yvonne, Nicole and the manager Chris is too. Never a bad time with any of them, always such good conversations. They’re all such a breath of fresh air and make the meal even more spectacular.

If you haven’t been here yet, definitely stop by ❤️ you will be in for such a treat.

Pricing isn’t bad, quick service, Happy atmosphere, good music

My mother even said she’s been coming here for years too and everything on the menu has always topped anything she’s had at any other place.

Don’t miss out 🥳“

“Great experience eating at the bar. Always love the cheddar biscuits and the drinks were great. Watched the USA hockey game with the other patrons, so it was a nice vibe! I’ll be back for sure!“

“Great flavors, great service, great ambiance, at a even greater price“

“Drunken Noodles was too salty for my taste but otherwise fresh and flavorful. Very friendly staff--smiles included! There were tables and chairs but it may as well have been a small 50 yr old carport or shed. I appreciate an establishment that aesthetically invites you sit and stay a while; this place is not that.“

“excellent dishes very good portions!“

“Great place good food and service we will definitely go back.“

“Our server Staci was great. She made our time there great and we will ask for her on our next visit. Loved the shrimp tacos.“

“The server Charteria was well-versed with the menu. She was attentive and personable. The manager Kinga came by asking about the server and food. We were impressed with her. The atmosphere was very uplifting. My meal was very good. I had the prime rib sandwich.“

“I use to live here and visited family recently and had to come here for chinese food! Their egg rolls are the best around with beansprouts inside and crispy outside. I like to use their in house hot mustard and plum sauce on the egg rolls no where else makes it like them. Aside from that my go to is the almond chicken and wonton soup.“
