19 Best Seafood Restaurants near Hernando

“The Parish has become our favorite Hernando restaurant. The owner (who does not know us) is clearly an accomplished chef. I can’t brag about this place enough: The food is tremendous! The front of house manager, Barry, is nothing but first rate, could not be more accommodating, and is always very attentive to diners’ needs. Then, there’s the wait staff. We only know a few of them by name: Sarah, Caitlyn, Kelly…but they are likely the best servers in DeSoto County! If you haven’t been, we suggest you try the following: Crab-stuffed grouper, BBQ Shrimp, the boudin-stuffed pork chop - likely the best thing on the menu!, blackened grouper…The onion rings are the best we’ve ever had! Desert? Get that bread pudding! It is OMG good! I’ve never had a bad meal or bad service since they opened and we eat there almost every week.“

“Enjoyed entertainment while eating outside with friends and the weather being an overcast day made it very pleasant, not too hot. Servers were great in taking care of us. Met new friends as well. The food was incredible! Ate everything on my plate. Kudos to the bartender, you were awesome! Love this place ?“

“Very tasty food, certainly not bland. Fish was fresh served still steaming. Hush puppies tasted just like dad made at home. Crispy without being burned or dry. Friendly people working. Clean bathrooms. Huge parking area.

Parking: Enough spots for sure

Kid-friendliness: Kiddie menu available

Wheelchair accessibility: This place is compliant with wheel chair.“

“Delicious shrimp and grits“

“We were so fortunate to find Crazy Lu Seafood Shack. The food, service, and the facility was amazing. I had frog legs, slaw, and an egg roll which were wee all delicious. My husband had shrimp, jumbo, hush puppies, and Mac & cheese and loved it. We were checked on at least four times by their workers with extra sauces and crackers brought.“

“It has a steampunk feel which I thought was unique. Will definitely go again.“

“We were shocked! This little place does not look like it would be the fabulous experience it was, but looks can sometimes be deceiving! We went online to make reservations. Got there early. There were no customers! Another shock after reading the reviews. But the chef (who may also be the owner) greeted us and showed us to our table that had a "Reserved" sign on it. The only people who came in while we were there were people with take-out orders. Granted, it was cold and rainy. But, really? This place is fantastic! We wanted crab legs and we got a feast! The servers were so helpful and the chef came out and checked on us several times. I ordered my crab legs with just the butter sauce, not with their special Cajun seasoning. After ordering, the server brought out shrimp in their sauce and said she just wanted us to try it. It was amazing. So we changed our order! And the shrimp was great! They were so nice, friendly, and the crab was probably the best we've ever had. Very fresh! And yes, we've had lots from both coasts! I don't know what's wrong with the people in Memphis, but this place would be packed anywhere else, no matter what the weather!!“

“The food was amazing and we had a great waitress. Nice chill environment. We really enjoyed it. The breaded sweet and spicy Thai chicken wings were soooo good and the the the corn on the cob as well.“

“THE SHRIMP & GRITS!!!

Perfect creamy and cheesy grits smothered in a Cajun sauce that is to die for! Shrimp were cooked and seasoned perfectly as well. Came with a side of toasted garlic bread. I also love the bread pudding! Everything else is good too but those are my favs. Quick and great service.“

“Great place every time my family visit Vegas this is top on the listen to go to at least 2,3 times before leaving along with the last day before departure we always get 12 or more Catfish Fillet to take back to Las Vegas. Inshallah“

“My very first visit was this past Friday Feb. 18th, 2022, And the Jumbo Seafood Boil that feed 5 was the best I've ever had. Everything was seasoned just right for me. I do not eat Crawfish so I really could have did without those, but overall it was SUPERB. Can't wait to go again.“

“Excellent service, fresh food, clean and relaxing environment. We really enjoyed our visit today. If you love Captain D’s…go to this location, where others fail this one is doing it right!

Kid-friendliness: Excellent“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ember and Oak Prime in Southaven, MS, and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance was inviting, the food was phenomenal, and the service was impeccable.

A special shout-out to Taylor. R, who provided truly outstanding service. Taylor's attentiveness, friendly demeanor, and professionalism elevated our dining experience to new heights. It’s rare to find such dedication and genuine care for customers, and Taylor exemplifies the gold standard of service.

The meal itself was one of the best I’ve had in years. Every dish was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor, showcasing the culinary talents of the kitchen staff. From the appetizers to the dessert, each course was a delight to the senses.

I’ve been telling everyone I know about Ember and Oak Prime, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience. In my opinion, this was not only one of the best meals I’ve had since 2020, but also the best service I’ve experienced in a long time. I can’t wait to return!“

“Hi I am the general manager whom this young lady is speaking on. I would like to first began by saying I am food safety certified and is very aware of cross contamination. I can't believe if this was the case why didn't you just say sir are you going to change your gloves? I am very professional and it is my desire to serve the public safe food. I am a little disturbed that someone would take a shoe tie this far. We always use tongs when handling food and change gloves regularly when handling raw food in the back kitchen. We have an A from the health department visit to the restaurant. Praises to God the restaurant is doing extremely well and present customers are very happy. Thanks!!“

“It was delicious and the service was great“

“Pick your vegies and your protein and hand them your plate, they hibachi it and put it in a bowl for you with your choice of sauce. Truly, our special place to go. Excellent buffet, cold shrimp and desserts!“

“Had some issues with speed of service (food coming out) and a couple of other things, but Johnathan (server) was very courteous and attentive. Didn't get the manager's name, but he and the female chef were very gracious and helpful with correcting our orders. Unforeseen things happen in the world of food service, and I'd definitely give them another try soon!“

“The atmosphere was fantastic. The service was very quick and prompt. My wings were juicy flavorful separated from my fries and honestly this is probably one of the best Jamaican jerk sauces I've had in a long time. Buffalo wild wings needs to take some notes“
