Tricky Fish is our go-to spot after church every Sunday. The Sunday brunch is always amazing! I always order the shrimp and oyster grits—they’re perfectly cooked and full of flavor—and the fried green tomatoes are a must-try appetizer.

My husband really enjoys their fresh salads and broiled fish entrées. They also make an excellent Bloody Mary that pairs perfectly with brunch.

Great food, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend Tricky Fish for a consistent and delicious Sunday brunch!

I can't tell you how great of a job. Our waiter did I believe his name was Mario? But he made our night. Thank you for the great service.

I WISH I COULD GIVE 0 STARS .......i had a very distasteful and disappointing experience during my recent vist 11/02/25 Sunday to be exact around 4:30-5ish , the employee name MATT I believe he is the manager or a part of leadership team he was extremely rude and showed no interest in trying to understand how we could make our party more welcomed by joining our tables together from the moment we walked in his attitude was unprofessional. He said no we couldn't join together even if we were a party, he told us he will make the whole party leave we had to sit apart from each other while sitting down eating. The restaurant might have potential, but MATT customer service is horrible he lacks professionalism MATT ruined the visit I hope management will address this because I wouldn't want others to have the same experience. Management seriously needs to address this kind of behavior because it completely ruins my experience there I will NOT be returning I truly hope this feedback gets back to him so he can have better customer care moving forward .

We visited Tricky Fish on Sunday, November 2, 2025, for my cousin’s 30th birthday gathering. The first part of our experience was extremely disappointing and honestly upsetting.

Our group arrived around 4:00 p.m., and we got there a few minutes later around 4:20. My aunt let the host know we were with the same party — they were seated at the high table to the right, and we were being sat right behind them. When my aunt asked if the tables could be pushed together so we could all sit as a family, Matt (the staff member) immediately said no and made it clear he wasn’t willing to do that, even though the restaurant was basically empty at the time.

Then he told my aunt he could ask us to leave — which was completely unnecessary and disrespectful. His tone and attitude made it obvious that our presence as a large Black family bothered him. You could literally see the disgust on his face.

At that point, my uncle stepped in to calm things down, and we decided to stay and make the best of it. But the energy was already ruined. The servers took a while to come over — it was clear they were talking about what had happened instead of helping us. We finally went to the bar to get drinks, and that’s where things started to turn around.

The bartender was amazing — so kind, professional, and welcoming. She didn’t comp anything or make excuses, she just treated us like valued guests. Her attitude truly changed the mood for us.

Bar drinks: 10/10
Food: 8/10 (but who messes up a Caesar salad?)

Dear Tricky Fish, please do better. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, no matter what they look like or how big their group is. We came to celebrate, to eat, and to enjoy being a family. It’s sad that in 2025 we still have to experience this type of treatment.

We refused to let it ruin our day — but it definitely changed how we see your restaurant.

We love this place! Come here all the time. Usually sit in the bar area and the one bartender is fantastic. Her name is It's DESIREE! Double checked and I of course had it wrong.

Everything we’ve tried has just been top-notch. It’s unbelievably reasonably priced as well.
