34 Best Seafood Restaurants near Knightdale

“The Depot on First has been open since October 2023 and since then has simply excelled as the only fine dining restaurant in the area. I think much of their success is based on the fact they not only maintain consistency in areas such as attention to detail, exceptional customer service and quality culinary experience, they also continue to evolve and adapt to changing tastes, trends, and customer preferences. I enjoy seeing their ongoing tasting and intimate dining events, of which I will have to attend at some point. Another cornerstone of success for many restaurant's is Authenticity, and this Farm-to-table restaurant continues to prioritize authenticity by sourcing quality ingredients directly from local farms and producers. They don't take any shortcuts when it comes to freshly prepared food to save time which is why I will wait patiently in the elegantly decorated intimate, warm and inviting dining room for my entree upon every visit. No Rush! Just me bring me another perfectly prepared old fashioned. Don't hesitate to step outside of the box and try something new on the menu, I am not a fan of porkchops, but I have become a fan of theirs. This is an environment that will put a smile on your face, Ben and staff are simply exceptional, every visit feels like coming home to dinner. I look forward to spending some time out on the beautiful back patio this spring. Cheers!“

“My mom has been there many times and raves about the food and staff. I went in with her and I agree! Food was great! Super friendly and helpful staff, dessert was amazing! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“I usually don't write reviews. However, this place is a shocker to me. The food is always Great! But....What ever you do...do not order your food online!! If you order your food online and have a family emergency, you are not allowed to cancel the order or get a refund! I was told, "come pick up your food before you go to the hospital with your child. We don't like to waste food." Instead of them being empathetic, issuing a refund and giving the food that was prepared to staff member or server. DO NOT ORDER YOUR FOOD IN ADVANCE. Just be prepared!“

“I love Salt Grass but today we had a bad experience there with our reservation I called and they didn’t put my name on the waitlist talk to a manager she added my name but we still ended up waiting about 2hrs 45 minutes for our table the mangers was really nasty Heather act like she didn’t want to sit us and seem like she was over looking the black and when finally got a table we had a really nice waiter name Becky but our food at one of the tables had to be sent back because it was cold then your other manager had us waiting for about another 35 to 40 minutes to check out because it was a very bad day there“

“Incredible service! Excellent food and delivery was right on time! I placed on online order out of state for an important business lunch and ran into a couple of computer issues on my end (not Which Wich). They were amazingly supportive and helpful throughout the whole day in making sure we got everything we needed. Special kudos to Dimitri and Amanda who were so nice and friendly and helpful and patient! And the biggest shout out to the owner who did everything he could to ensure lunch would be delivered on time and for the constant follow-ups! My boss said everything was perfect and delicious!! If I ever make to it NC, I definitely am going to stop in!!“

“The best restaurant in Raleigh for large group friendly. Food, drinks and service great!“

“I ordered through DoorDash and I cannot wait to go in and sit down. They gave me so much food it was literally 3 small meals for me. The flavor was 10/10 and cooked to perfection. If you're in the Clayton area pull up. You will not be disappointed. 👌🏽“

“We recently went to Brodeto to discover what all of the hype was about. From the minute we walked into the restaurant until the moment we walked out, I have nothing but great things to say about this restaurant. i honestly believe it was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. The food is awesome and the staff was spot on in every aspect. I can only hope that everyone has the same experience that I was able to witness.“

“We had a wedding rehearsal dinner there this past weekend. Delicious food, good sized portions, excellent service! Thank you so much for making it a wonderful occasion.“

“You half to try this restaurant when you’re in Raleigh the food was so good you must save room for the yummy desserts! Our sever Summer was the best will be back!!“

“Excellent patio set up. Well stocked bar with tasty cocktails. Swanky decor. Creative menu. Professional staff. Very nice wine list with higher end options.“

“Absolutely the best catfish and hush puppies around.“

“This was our first time checking this place out! Loved that there were options for everyone and the seafood boil was delicious! Our waitress was very attentive and kept checking in on us and had refills out to us before our glasses were empty. I believe it was manager or another waiter helping out since they had a large group and he also checked in on us as well. Good service on a Tuesday night usually is hard to come by but the crew that was there tonight did a phenomenal job!“

“Absolutely amazing service was great and the atmosphere was amazing“

“Co worker told me about saltwater seafood market. It was my first time there. The staff welcomed me and was very explanatory about each question I asked about the fish and their services. Plus they have a walk in or call in restaurant. Cooked fresh fish menu. I recommend this market.“

“Always impressing me and my family“

“Music and food! They had a great singer“

“Really outstanding fried chicken and seafood! I thought Smithfield’s was the best place to go for fried chicken, but, I have to say Jacks is even better! We will be going there a lot more!“

“A nice welcome and a friendly server. The atmosphere is nice and they have some light entertainment too or they did while we were there. The food was hot and fresh and very tasty. I’d rather wait 10-30 mins for fresh cooked food than expect immediate hot/fresh food within 10-20 minutes of ordering. Ask yourself “do you want your food quick or do you want it cooked from fresh?”. We will definitely return. Portion sizes are big (in our opinion) so we were able to take some home as we were very full. The Cesar salad was made with fresh crisp lettuce, the steak was cooked as requested and my kids demolished the mac n cheese (and they are mac n cheese snobs!).“

“Food was delicious as usual and staff were all friendly and helpful. My favorite place to eat out.“

“The food and service was great!“

“Love the flounder & jumbo shrimp & especially that slaw!! Slaw is bangin!!!“

“Visited red lobster again..... and again, no salad! This is second time in 3 months i was told they have no lettuce. Say what??? Food is always very good.... but why no salad?“

“Not sure why there are any bad reviews. Our experience was great. Just as good as the Franklinton location. Delicious, great service, highly recommend!“

“Amazing 38 flavors and fresh food. 👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“Great Southern style seafood!!!“

“Great place for fried fish and shrimp. Very clean place and great customer service.
Their lunch specials are very reasonable during the week and their lemonade is yummy.
Weekends we get the 10 piece whiting platter, fried shrimp, and their chicken wings. Yup you heard me right …their chicken wings are so good. We ask them to fry the French fries crispy and get mamba sauce to dip them in. Their hush puppies are good especially when you dip it in mamba sauce. Everything is tasty and I love the cornmeal crispiness of the fish, it’s great on the heat up the next day.
Their prices went up a little since the summer time, but that’s to be expected since they are popular and well..the economy.“

“Great selection and amazing wings.“

“I had a great experience at Fat Boys Shack in Wake Forest, NC. The food was delicious, and the customer service was a 10/10 from the moment I walked in. My tenders were fried hard just the way I like them without even having to ask, which was a pleasant surprise. The lemonade was also very good and refreshing. The restaurant itself was clean and well kept. Shoutout to the manager on duty, Paige Terry, and employee Tiara Spence for providing excellent service and making the visit even better. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Food was great and I love the service from Anthony the guy was everywhere helping everyone!!!“

“I absolutely loved everything I ordered! I got the Bourbon Chicken, chicken wings with beef fries, General Tso’s Chicken, and more. Everything was fresh and delicious. Since I ate it right away, the chicken was perfectly crispy, and the rice is honestly the best I’ve had around here!

The restaurant was also very clean, and they had a 100 sanitation rating, which was really impressive. This is definitely one of the cleanest and best restaurants I’ve been to. I highly recommend it!“

“I would like to express my disappointment with my recent experience at your restaurant. Unfortunately, the food was not as good as I expected, and the service I received from the waiter RAUL was also very unsatisfactory.
I had to wait for my drink, and Raul did not realize that I had not received it until he brought my food. I believe this shows a lack of attention to customers and is not the level of professional service I expect from a restaurant.
This is not my first time visiting this restaurant. I have also been served by a black woman named **Maryland**, and my experience with her has been completely different. She provides good, friendly, and attentive service.
I believe management should pay closer attention to the service their employees are providing and listen to customer feedback.
To other customers reading this review: Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend sitting in Raul’s section if you are looking for attentive and professional service. This was my experience, and I believe customers deserve to know about it.
I hope management takes this complaint seriously and works to improve the quality of both the food and service.“
