50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Dallas

“I found this place from TikTok and I’m so glad i came. I was in town visiting and wanted to do a nice dinner and this place met all of my expectations! Iman was my beautiful and amazing server, she was so kind and made my time here a good one as well. The food was great and the view from my table was amazing. And i loved the glass of champagne from Branden before coming to the actual restaurant. I will for sure be back when I’m in town!!“

“Rex’s Seafood and Market - Dallas, Tx Les meilleurs huîtres jamais goûtés!! Raspberry juste incroyable!!!“

“My mom and I stopped in for lunch on a Wednesday around noon and, to our surprise, were seated right away. We decided to split the gumbo and a Connecticut-style lobster roll.

Now, as a native New Orleanian, I’m very picky about gumbo. I almost didn’t order it because I know how high my standards are (Chef Paul Prudhomme’s method taught me how to make a proper dark roux by hand, and I still swear by it). But their gumbo? Exceptional. Spicy, layered with flavor, and honestly one of the best I’ve had outside of New Orleans. I not only finished my cup but polished off my mom’s too.

The lobster roll was a little on the small side, but paired with the gumbo it was the perfect lunch. We even saved room for a celebratory lemon cake—compliments of the house—for my mom’s birthday. A sweet ending to an unexpectedly great meal.“

“If you're willing to spend a bit of money to try something unique, memorable, and absolutely delicious, this is the place for you“

“First time there. I was greeted by all the staff I ordered the catfish po boy. It was the best fish sandwich I
have had in my life. I Highly recommend coming here. I walked there from Kenworth dealership as was getting my truck worked on. I will eat there next time I am at Kenworth Dallas“

“Came here with my younger son and my daughter to celebrate her birthday, Sept. 22. Beautiful space and decor. The service was excellent and the food was delectable! Great suggestions from our waiter. We started with the burrata and then we shared the Mafalde, the Prime Hanger, and Swordfish. I highly recommend this beautiful restaurant.“

“What a find!! Prices were reasonable and the quality of food was awesome. We will be back. I’d rate it a 5“

“Need a date night spot? Need to eat before a show at the Myerson? If you are seeking Italian? This is it. Oso buco stuffed pasta and the papperdelle with wagyu bolognaese were our main courses. We shared a grilled romain salad with a house dressing that was rich and laid on fresh burratta. There is some slight fusion going on like the brushetta with the Waygu beef, caramelized onions and the acid of the basalmic then the brine from caviar. It was a delightful bite. The complimentary flavored ricotta flight and Limoncello was a nice treat. We enjoyed lovely cocktails and the voice of the piano player was amazing.“

“Between the food and drinks — always a fantastic time. The back bar and courtyard are clutch.“

“Great intro today by my neph.....“

“The food, service, and ambience were all fantastic. The services provided by the professional management and staff are the main reasons that we keep coming back. The old world elegance is a rare thing, and we value their focus to make sure that everything about the dining experience is excellent. I highly recomend Al Biernat's!“

“10/10 in every aspect. No complaints at all. Worth the money.“

“Mexican shrimp cocktail one of the best I’ve had always fresh and spicy!“

“The crawfish (especially the Who Dat style) are SO good. The charbroiled oysters are heavenly. We also love the hushpuppies and Jambalaya egg rolls! They have Happy Hour starting at 4pm, with specials on several menu items. The servers are all super nice and friendly. We always leave there happy and full!“

“This place exceeded expectations on every level. Atmosphere was cozy for date night dinner before my wife and I went to see Nate Bargatze. The Food at all ends were alive with flavor kicking. The service was attentive and caring, just excellent. We started with The spinach artichoke dip. amazing, the chips (I believe their famous Italian nacho chips and homemade Garlic bread slices came together like a flavor family. My wife ordered the Primavera with chicken and the cream Parmesan sauce. out worldly, amazing. I would eat that sauce on everything. I ordered the Spicy Chicken Penne. A wonderful fusion of Sharp sundried tomatoes, sauteed Garlic cloves sauce and chicken. the spice was excellent as well, not overpowering like the star of the show, but rather a supporting actor that let you know they were there. The portions were very generous. don't expect to finish your entire dish, we went hungry and left with 1/3 of each of our entrees. I would recommend this place to anyone in Dallas, or going to Dallas..I would even recommend to the owners to venture down to Houston, as we could use this in our city. You would be missing out if you didn't come through this place at least once.“

“*IMMACULATE VIBES*.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ziziki’s totally blew me away! The Avgolemono Soup with chicken was super comforting and full of flavor. I also had the Greek salad, and wow—their Greek dressing might be the best I’ve ever tasted. Seriously addictive. The Chicken Souvlaki was tender, perfectly seasoned, and just delicious all around. Everything was fresh and so tasty. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be ordering again soon!“

“The bar staff especially is always outstanding. They always make us feel like one of the family! I honestly have nothing to complain about, the entire experience is top notch!!“

“What a great find! My fiance and I were visiting the Dallas area this weekend and stumbled across The Tango room and decided to try it out. We are so glad that we did! This one as some of the absolute best food, BEST service, and such a chill atmosphere. Nolan, the bartender, was our server and he was outstanding. So much knowledge about the food and drinks. I HIGHLY recommend this place. We will definitely be back next time we're in town.“

“We walked in to pick up a to go order and were warmly greeted. The server was kind to share some of the restaurant history and asked for a review, which as business owners, we like to oblige and want to help other businesses. He threw in a mango lassi with our order, which was not expected and SO delicious. All of our food was AMAZING and enough to have for lunch the next day. We ordered garlic naan, Gobi 65, Malabar with beef and veggies, chicken and lamb biryani.“

“Husband and I Went with the fam of three kids 7,8,9 and grandma 71. Absolutely the best service ever! Food was wonderful and for a Korean bbq, great portions!!!“

“Food was horrible. Bread was stale. Bacon was cooked partially black and partially scrapped together in a clump that tasted like it was from an old pan from days ago!!! Get New Cooks or adios!! I know this was done out of haste and this is unacceptable!!“

“Amazing food and great service“

“My review is based off one drink and one server!
Walking by we saw “pretty drinks” and decided to stop and try their champagne packs. We did not go inside the restaurant so my review is based on the outside bar and the bartender alone. She was very informational very sweet upbeat and gave me a great recommendation! I will have to try the food out when I’m back in the area!“

“Very impressive for an airport restaurant. Generally speaking, food and service are similar to their regular restaurant locations which seems to never be the case with airport restaurants. They have gone out of their way to keep a solid menu and a full bar as well as the feel of a restaurant that is a luxurious escape from the hustle and bustle upstairs. Highly recommended.“

“I think this is the most incredible meal I’ve ever had! Loved the beef stroganoff - everyone in our group had a different meal and we all loved it and shared meals with each other - incredible cocktails, appetizers, meals, and desserts! Bonus was the piano player that was taking all of our requests. We loved it so much, we are coming back on Saturday!“

“Great food! Great atmosphere!“

“Thank you, Katie, for your exceptional service at Shell Shack Dallas. You made our experience truly enjoyable!“

“La Calle Doce is a gem! We went for Friday lunch and loved everything—the cozy, beautifully maintained old house, peaceful vibe, and excellent service. I had the lunch special with fish soup and a ceviche tostada, and my husband had the salmon salad. Both were incredible, and the spicy ranch waters were a fun bonus. Some of the best food I’ve had in Dallas—can’t wait to go back!“

“Excellent food and service“

“They have one of the best vegan menus among non vegan restaurants in the metroplex. We went to Best Thai Addison to try their vegan menu out and we were not disappointed! The food was tasty and the service is very quick and hospitable. We highly recommend checking them out to try their vegan options. For details on our full review, visit our website“

“yesterday I came with my family to eat here. we just moved across the street. the whole lake highland area has a lot of great spots, but I do believe that Fish City Grill will be our favorite, the drinks were so great. some of the best drinks I’ve had in a very long time. The food was fresh and hot and the atmosphere was amazing, I think there was a kids event going on because it was lots of children everywhere but we had fun seeing them have fun. But one person TOPPED EVERYTHING, our waiter Nievells, his entire personality was everything, I wish I could’ve put him in my purse and took him home. we have adopted him as our new son. He was fast, kind, super funny, and just made us not want to leave, we came in around 5 and didn’t leave until 7:30 because he just was so loving. He took Better care of me than my own husband. (I hope he never sees this review ?) but he said he was new and but it seem like he’s been working there for years. Ive been having a tough time moving here this week from ohio and I needed this experience, thank you so much Nievells for everything my family and I will be back to see you! I hope he sees this to know he is doing a great job.“

“Half Shells is a wonderful, reliable neighborhood spot with terrific service. The seafood is always fresh and less expensive than similar spots. It has a brilliant new owner who has extensive knowledge of the brand and is devoted to making this Snider Plaza staple a true gem. Excellent grilled salmon and redfish, flavor-packed gumbo and super filling fish tacos are favorites. Great wine list and lively vibe. Park Cities families line up for this place!“

“Today, I had the crab cakes, Parmesan crusted flounder, and the bread pudding for dessert. Everything was very good !“

“Eric provided excellent, timely service. I will be back.“

“Absolutely the best restaurant in North Dallas. If you want the best atmosphere paired with truly amazing food, come here. It's worth the wait.“

“We had a spectacular dinner celebrating my son’s birthday, the food was so fresh and delicious; and our server Debbie was so gracious and attentive. Will definitely come again!“

“Their food is always fresh, flavorful, and outstanding!!!“

“I sat at the bar, and my bartender was incredibly observant. He noticed a specific detail about my order and actually offered a suggestion to improve the meal, which I thought was a fantastic and thoughtful touch. The food and coffee were both spot on and came out so fast. This is definitely a great spot to grab a delicious meal.“

“Today I had the best experience. I love coming to eat here. The Food is always good the customer service is very good. Today I had two encounters with Jarad and the Manager Desmond who made sure me and my family was well taken care of. Today was very busy when I came in but was greeted right away, there was a small wait time but once I was seated everything came out right away. The food was fresh and Hot. Desmond came over to my table to see how my visit was and I let him know great as usual. Please if you go to this location ask for Jarad and Desmond.“
