50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Charlotte

“This place is fantastic. 5 stars. Beautiful food, service, and atmosphere.“

“ALWAY good! Great service“

“Food and service from our server Jose was absolutely phenomenal not a single complaint from a party of 7 on that. However, we all could agree amongst ourselves without prior knowledge of each other having the horrible “welcoming” experience from the hostess Paige. She was EXTREMELY rude to every single person in our party of seven. From the first person that arrived to the last so it had nothing to do with us arriving separately. She did not seem to want to assist us. At one point she pointed to the table down the stairs and practically refused to help a guest to the table. She had an extremely uninviting attitude.“

“Great food and service! We will be back very soon!!“

“Absolutely delish! The “treatment” is awesome.“

“Amazing food, wine, service and ambience. Great spot for date night.“

“Wow! Wow! Wow! We had the most spectacular experience tonight! We ordered the wedge salad to spilt, the Salmon entree and a feature consisting of a ribeye and a crab cake! The flavors surpassed our expectations and every bite we were looking at each other like “what?!” Compliments to the chef and to our server, Peter. Trust us, GO AND ASK FOR PETER! We will be back and we’ll be dreaming about our meal till then!“

“I cannot say enough great things about this restaurant!!

“Great place for a quiet evening out. Food was amazing.“

“The food was amazing! Alan did a great job taking care of us and providing some recommendations!“

“Food was tasty. We were seated in a back, tight, little converted closet type space that seemed peculiar as a seating area. Set aside and hidden away from the rest of the restaurant. Word of advice.... ask to be seated in main original area.“

“From the ambiance, the attentive staff, exquisite food and drinks the evening was 1st Class. Not stodgy or overbearing but our needs were anticipated. The food was beyond! Thank you!“

“Shawntay absolutely made our night. She gave great recommendations, was extremely attentive, and just overall made the experience. The entire team was incredible for when we walked in until when we left. We told him we needed to be out in about an hour or so in order to make it to a show, they made sure that was possible. The food was beyond incredible. We will definitely be coming back.“

“I love boil in a bag it was delicious and serve in a timely matter waiter was very well matter“

“We had an amazing dinner here during Queens Feast. Highly recommend for a date night as the atmosphere is extremely warm and romantic. Great drinks as well, and the food of course was delicious and extremely fresh.“

“The Food was the best. Staff were amazing. Our Server Ameirah was the bomb !It was worth the 4 hr drive.“

“We went to Dressler’s tonight for my husband’s Birthday. We had never been but wanted to try it since we loved their old Dogwood concept. Michelle was our waitress and truly made the evening so special. She was so knowledgeable around the menu and so attentive and fun. The food was exceptional. I had the waygu flank special and he had the 16oz ribeye. The shrimp appetizer was a great way to start and the apple crisp was a perfect ending to the meal. We were so excited to see the manager from the old Dogwood concept working there. She is so great too. Thank you for having such an amazing space that can make nights so memorable.“

“Love the food here! I’ve had both the salmon and chicken plates. I was slightly disappointed that you only get like half of a chicken breast with a normal portion, that you’d have to purchase “double” protein for a full piece of chicken breast. Regardless, the food is delicious and flavorful. Tastes fresh each time and I will definitely try more dishes!“

“Good food good customer service“

“Big portions & delicious!“

“No place better for food allergic patrons who also want delicious fare. My family and I are now your newest loyal customers and are forever grateful that our children can eat safely somewhere other than our kitchen. Absolutely delicious as well.“

“Went to Cajun Queen tonight for the first time and it did not disappoint. My server Smith was amazing. I went with a friend and he enjoyed the food as well. It was super seasoned and service was great. The food came quickly and I will be back. As a Charlotte native I can't believe I didn't come sooner. Definitely a spot to check out. The bread pudding was great. And my roasted duck was AMAZING.“

“All items were freshly cooked and seasoned well. I loved my fried lobster tails and fried shrimp. The rest the party enjoyed their seafood boils as well. Great customer service.“

“From the moment I walked into Mico’s to the time I left, it was an amazing experience. The atmosphere was incredible with its beautiful decor. Our bartender AC was very friendly and knowledgeable from the drinks to the menu. This was my first time in but definitely not the last.“

“The Ugly is the ultimate pregame spot in Charlotte! Elite dive bar vibes with insanely cheap beers—$2–$3 a piece—and bartenders who are just super chill. Perfect for kicking off a night out, and the location is unbeatable, just steps from the light rail. A must-visit next to Idlewild!

Disclaimer: they do not serve food.“

“Expect great service with a smile and fast. My crab cake sandwich was amazing. My nephew enjoyed his crab cake as well.“

“So it was a late night of getting off work & me & my children wanted to try something different, found this and I must say for a first time try… wasn’t bad I’m not from the city so I might have had to double back because I rode past it lol. So my boys wanted wings and there was a special so they got that, but me I wanted to try the Alfredo, I must say was delicious I just wished I would have gotten maybe the shrimp on the side with maybe a garlic butter. The salmon was cooked perfectly but everything was great!
Only problem I had was the parking, large holes & I had to wait to get out since someone blocked me in to run inside for their food.“

“Tried it today for the first time, but it DEFINITELY won’t be the last time! Amazing food, great atmosphere, incredible service, unbeatable prices. Fantastic all around!!“

“Amazing Vibe ~ Food ~Drinks & People I Truly Enjoyed Everything About This Establishment & Will Definitely Be Back🥂 Oh & I Can't Forget How Attentive The Waiter Was ,I Requested A Mango Lemon Drop & Got Just That Although That Was Their First Time & The Cook Came Out To Apologize About A Mishap That He Immediately Rectified 10/10 Recommend 🤗“

“Excelente lugar , muy buena atención y no digamos la comida ufff una delicia se los recomiendo 👌 😉 👍🏾“

“excelente restaurant, mi favorito, me pareció amable y muy atenta la atención de Valeria.“

“Kelly, our server was absolutely fantastic - The Best Server I have seen in any restaurant - 5 STAR Service - She did a wonderful job. However, the food quality was not up to par this evening. I had the Surf & Turf and the Lobster was overcooked. Another party had a Hamburger and was not satisfied with the quality & taste. The manager came over and took care of everything very professionally for which we very much appreciated his involvement. For that reason, we will come back to Firebirds in Stonecrest again.“

“Chicken & waffles were delicious also the shrooms. Service was also great“

“Salutations! What a wonderful evening we had that was elevated by our server, Carli. She has wonderful decorum and carries herself and represents Stir in the highest light. Carli and the exquisite service that she delivered amplified our experience— a rare quality to be found. The food was delicious and elegantly presented and served. The artisan ice extrapolations, performed table side - again by Carli- offered an elegant and entertaining prologue to the divine Stir Old Fashion. Cuisine and atmosphere were delish. Thank you Carli for the above and beyond and fabulous personality and wit. See you again soon!“

“Went today for the first time with my daughter. The seafood boil was awesome. I had crab legs, shrimp and crawfish with medium Cajun sauce. Really enjoyed the flavor and the staff was great!“

“Great food with exceptional service“

“So glad I found this place on our travels. Delicious food and friendly service. McKayla and Tony were wonderful!“

“I love Po Boy’s Low Country Seafood.
They offer a variety of delicious fried options such as flounder, perch, red snapper, whiting, shrimp oysters and more.
One of my favorites is the fried oysters with regular seasoning. They are so delicious and tenderly cooked with just the right amount of crispness. They can be purchased in a Po Boy’s sandwich or plate with sides. I like to purchase fried oysters by the half pound. I always order their delicious sweet tea and they offer free refills!
Friendly staff!“

“Easy to get into but took a while to find it once inside the gate. I took a picture to show where these guys are. So much from for parking and overnight parking.

Peoffesional and communicative. They open qr 7 am to unload. We had a 7 am appointment and came early. They took about 45 minutes to clean the dock and within a few minutes unloaded the few pallets we had.

No bs, just good work and friendly. Thanks“
