50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Columbia

“Shout out too Mrs VICTORIA AND HER AWESOME STAFF !! They always are the best good food and great HOSPITALITY!! You GUYS ROCK !“

“We went for lunch and were lucky to get the last table outside. The atmosphere was great. Even though it was very busy, the service was excellent and Anne Marie was outstanding. We had the chicken ranch wrap and sweet potato fries, both were delicious with generous portions and a fair price. Refills came quickly without having to ask. We will definitely be back.“

“Great service and delicious food. The key lime cake is amazing.“

“So glad we found this gem of a restaurant! Best seafood in Columbia!“

“We so enjoyed this establishment both nights we stayed in Cola. We loved the fresh oysters, old bay shrimp and crab legs. Had the pleasure of meeting the one and only Mother Shucker. Such a lovely lady! Can’t wait to share our bottle of cocktail sauce with the bestie on our next oyster night at home. Much love to you all! 🫶 We will be back soon!“

“Best seafood I’ve had in a long time nice friendly environment, fresh and hot food as always“

“Emma had the warmest smile, best laugh, and made our evening wonderful. She was so attentive and thorough. I asked for an off menu cocktail (yes, I was THAT person) and royal curtsy to the bartender because they made a brilliant Bee Knees. I ordered the special
( swordfish) which, to be transparent, was overcooked and dry…but also not worth being crucified over in a review. The ribeye steak was so tender and cooked perfectly. It was fantastic. The ahi tuna appetizer and cheesecake were delectable. Will I go back? Absolutely.“

“Was excellent service and alot of food for the price, love it! 😊“

“My waitress was Corey a slim light skinned guy with dreads. He was rude the whole night. We first entered the restaurant there was hardly nobody there he told us it will be a 15min wait. So we sat down and waited in about 10mins 3 people passed us and went and sat down so I got up and told him then he rudely seated us. As we ordered he was looking at the game on the television and gave us no eye contact. I asked for 2 unsweet teas 1 with no ice I got two sweet teas, I told him that it was sweet an I wanted unsweetened but my husband said that he would keep his sweet tea. So the waitress picked it up and brought me a sweet tea again this time with ice when I asked for no ice. So the second time I decided to just let it sit there because he seemed upset. I placed my order and asked for an extra side of potatoes, he said they come in 3 so I said ok I want it. Then my husband asked do potatoes come with his order and the waiter said “yes do you want to add extra” my husband said “naw I’m good” when the order came I had only 3 potatoes which is what comes with the order, my husband had four potatoes that’s three that come with the order and one extra. I looked at the receipt and saw that he charged both of us for an extra order of potatoes. I told him that I don’t have an extra order in mine, and that my husband didn’t order an extra side but if he did, he should have gotten three potatoes, not one extra . He said “yes he did ask for extra” we both said no he didn’t. and he ran to the back talking loud i can hear him say “bro I swear they ordered extra potatoes. We don’t say anything else. We know what we ordered he was too busy watching the TV while we were ordering . He brought the ticket to the table and told us we can pay up front. He didn’t say thank you, have a good night or nothing he never looked back our way. he never even apologized for bringing me sweet tea both times with ice. We left him a $10 tip although he didn’t deserve a dime but he could have gotten more. I’m just not the type to leave nothing. His attitude was so nasty I will not go there again!“

“Great food, nice atmosphere“

“highly recommend. always hot and fresh. A1“

“From the moment we walked in, Bonefish Grill delivered an outstanding experience—but the real star of the evening was our server, Jamie. She greeted us with a warm smile and set the tone for a relaxed, enjoyable meal.We tried the Bang Bang Shrimp (a must!) and it was perfectly crispy with just the right amount of kick. For entrées, everything came out hot, beautifully plated, and cooked to perfection. What really stood out was her attention to detail and cheerful personality. She anticipated our needs, remembered small requests, and created a welcoming, personal atmosphere that elevated the entire dining experience.“

“Amazing prices, portions, and tasty food. This is the best, budget priced seafood in town.“

“VERY NICE FOLKS taking care of each and every customer! You will be happy. . .whether you want to pick out fresh fish and seafood to take home to cook or choose from their very large menu of options that is prepared right in front of you! Best kept secret in Columbia! 🙂“

“Kayla was is the sweetest. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we n needed. I’ll definitely be making sure she’s our waitress in future visits.“

“Love love love 💗 the crab shak ! Everything is delicious but the blue crab trays is life for me . I never use to like them now I love them 😍 come on and come get you some“

“Have a wide variety of fish. Their catfish, flounder and whiting are delicious. All of their fish is fried and can come with fries or hush puppies or whatever side you want. They prepare everything as you wait and do a good job. Their batter is very flavorful and they put a lot of tlc into their cooking. Great place for fried fish.“

“food cooked perfect, bon appetite 😋“

“Loved the food, need to eat there more often! Dennis is a great man also!!?“

“The food was really good will come here every time I am in South Carolina. 10/10 highly recommend!!!!!“

“I left very satisfied....
I had 2 PCs of catfish and 2 sides potato salad and green beans. Tasted delicious it was my first time trying them today would definitely return... The guy at the counter was friendly and explained the menu to me so the service was also good 👍“

“While I normally order a turkey burger or chicken philly, in the spirit of the Super Bowl, went back to my first visit and ordered the Garlic Parmesan Cut Wings. Listen, Nothin’ But Wings did not disappoint. My food was HOT, FRESH and fried just right (not to hard not to soft). Perfectly and neatly presented, the sauce and flavoring was plentiful but not soggy. The customer service was impeccable considering my order was a very last minute add on. The only thing I’m mad about is that I didn’t order more because them dere wings didn’t even make it to Super Bowl kickoff.“

“My food was so fresh, hot& delicious. They definitely prepared my food with love. Everything I ordered was a 10/10.
I had option B, which is a crableg& headless shrimp boil bag, with sausage, potatoe,corn, steam broccoli, and a side of shrimp fried rice. I got it Doordarshan to our home. I was sooooo very Pleased. Definitely will be ordering again. The Quality, Quantity, Customer Service, and the food was VERY SATISFYING!“

“I went in to place a order. The manager Dia tried to over charge me for my order. I get the same dinner each time I go. I Knew what the price of the dinner would cost me. I tried to explain to her that I have order the same dinner many of times. Then she proceeded to say to ME YOU EXPECT ME TO CHANGE THE MENU FOR YOU. I could not believe this woman came at me like that. I folded the menu and proceeded to leave . She said get the hell out of here with anger and attitude. I'm 62 yes old. I could not believe this woman treated me this way. And get this she had the nerve to use the N word. I will be reporting my experience to the nessary authorities and news outlets.“

“This place surprised me. I went a bit blind with the assumption it would be in line with most average restaurants. The ambiance was ok, the kitchen was loud and we were sat by the kitchen door. Not pots and pans loud but a loud staff. The food was excellent. I had the trout and my wife had the ravioli. Both were worthy of a return visit.“

“If you're out after 11pm definitely stop by and get the Salmon Bites with fries! Made fresh to order and had a good movie playing while you wait. I'm coming back for another plate tonight“

“We had an awesome time at M Grille!! The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful!! Celebrated my sister's 50th birthday ? !! It's absolutely gorgeous in there, love the space. Michelle, and her manager are awesome!!! I highly recommend to have your next event there!!!“

“Our favorite place in Columbia for sushi. Great lunch specials, too!“

“The fried rice was greasy and the wings were old and dried out, as if they were cooked the day before. Terrible food. I would have taken it back for a refund if I stayed closer to restaurant. I had to throw the wings away, too hard to eat. That was not fresh cooked chicken or rice. I ordered in restaurant and my order was brought to me in less than 5 minutes (old food). This is the first time I have had s problem with their food.“

“Great food ! This is the closest we have came to authentic Mexican Food since we moved from California. Fajitas were very tasty , salsa had good flavor . And the service was friendly and food came out fast !“

“I love this place. The people are friendly and it's very clean. You don't smell the raw fish and it doesn't smell greasy from the fried fish. I live 20 minutes away and I don't mind pre-ordering and picking it up. It's always ready when I walk in the door. I rate them exceptional and I have sent many friends there for delicious fried fish and seafood dinners.“

“Delicious food . Very Fresh !“

“We had a reservation, but arrived an hour early. That wasn't an issue for the staff, we were seated promptly. Our Waiter, Liam was courteous and professional. Everything was great, the only one downside was our entrees were served just after we received our salad, so the timing was a bit off, but not huge. Liam apologized for that, so its all good. Overall, great experience and we will be returning!“

“We just ordered to-go food from Clifton. We got the Seafood Platter and Scallop Dinner❣️It was great‼️“

“Food good vibes on point this is a plus .... really enjoyed myself.... dj keep the music coming gotta go back soon!“

“Went inside to place a to go order. I had the Steak and Fries, along with 10 Sweet and Spicy wings. I ordered my Steak all the way, and it was delicious! I was really surprised of how flavorful the wings were, they were great! I also like the fact they put some of the wing sauce with the wings, that made it great for dipping. The service was quick, and the atmosphere was nice.“

“Great atmosphere and delicious food. We will come back again!“

“🥰 it’s a great placei love the bartenders“
