48 Best Seafood Restaurants in Columbia

I really enjoyed it. The vegetables that were included were cooked just right with the required crunch. It had a very rich look and didn't disappoint.“

“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!“

“I had an amazing 5-course experience last night. Tanaka was an excellent server. He was very present but not overbearing. His recommendations outside of the preset menu were spot-on. Food and drinks were amazing! What a great night at Bonefish Grill!“

“This was an amazing experience my guy and I had this evening. Blue Marlin DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! The atmosphere was amazing, the food was fresh and cooked perfectly and our server, Cydney, was IMPECCABLE!!!! We have been to several locations downtown for good seafood and service and THE BLUE MARLIN was THE BEST we have had , hands down!!! Thanks for the wonderful experience!!

“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!“

“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! 🙂“

“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.“

“food cooked perfect, bon appetite 😋“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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 👍“

“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“

“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!“

“Great food and service! My husband had the filet and I the ribeye, both were cooked perfectly, and seasoned perfectly! Our son loved his fries and burger, sometimes children meals are treated as after thoughts, this was not. Entire meal and service was wonderful!“

“Had dinner with a friend last night and this place was amazing! I’ll definitely be coming back asap! Our waitress Claire was a delight and made everything perfect! The Fuji roll was awesome!“

“Friendly service and tasty food! 10/10 would come back!“

“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.“

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

“Delicious so much food always have some to take home“

“I came in within an hour of closing, and the food was fresh and tasty. I had shrimp fried rice, wings, and cheeseburger baskets. I would say my only complaint is that I paid for extra shrimp in the rice, and I would have ordered double had I known there would be so little. I would recommend this restaurant!!!“

“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!“

“Friendly staff, fresh ingredients, quick service! Will definitely return for a healthy and affordable lunch!“

“First time ordering from Tony’s and I can say that I was very happy !! The portion size was great. I was able to eat off of this plate for two days. Lol (I’m that person) The Crab Rangoon was good and my wings were flavored well!! Love the many different flavors to choose from. Try them out for yourself!!!“

“Ate here a couple times during our stay in a nearby motel.

The food is fresh, hot, and well seasoned without being too heavy on the grease. Everything I got was worth the price.

The fact they are open super late is a good bonus as well.
