50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Red Oak

“I was in Dallas on business, staying at the Westin a few blocks away. It was my last night, I was tired, had an early flight in the morning, and just wanted a quick meal to take back to the room. A quick search showed this fried catfish spot nearby… so yeah, say less. I walked in expecting a basic neighborhood carry-out, but instead was greeted with some of the best service I’ve had in a while which was totally unexpected. It wasn’t fancy, but it was clean, comfortable, and had good music playing. It was a good vibe so decided to eat in at the bar. I didn’t catch her name but the bartender was so nice and kindly walked me through the menu. I ordered a glass of wine and the 2-piece fillet basket. Good Lord, that fish was HOT and delicious! And when I say “fillet,” I mean a full piece of fish not broken up little scraps. Two big pieces were definitely more than enough, but it was so good I ate every bite. I’ll definitely be back on my next trip and will be telling my Dallas office this is the spot! Thanks for the great experience and wishing you all the best in your new location!“

“I just returned from New Orleans and had a poboy at the famous Domilise's and I have to say the shrimp poboy I had today from Te'Jun's was just as good and to me maybe better. Such great flavor. I normally get lobster tails here, but think shrimp poboy is new favorite.“

“Stopped by for some lunch here and we were blown away. Friendly and fast service, great quality food for an affordable price. Some of the best carne asada I’ve ever had. We’ll definitely be back for t“

“Hidden Gem!

From the moment Abuelo greeted and seated us, our experience was truly five-star. Authenticity like this is rare—both in the service and the food. The restaurant was spotless, the service was exceptional, and the prices were more than reasonable. Most importantly, the food was absolutely amazing!

I’ve driven past this place for nearly ten years, and I’m so glad I finally stopped in. As someone from Colorado who really appreciates authentic Mexican cuisine, I can honestly say this spot exceeded all expectations.“

“We had a fantastic time here! The seafood boil is delicious, with plenty of seasoning options to suit your taste. The atmosphere is upbeat, making it a fun spot for dinner with friends or family. Highly recommend Crafty Crab for a flavorful seafood experience!“

“Amazing outdoor patio area overlooking the pond and water features!
Smoked Old Fashioned was very good. Will try the barrel aged peach version next trip.
Good fish tacos…love those sweet potato fries. Crab and shrimp dip got us off to a good start.“

“We had cooking lessons with Mary Mary was so welcoming and generous, just like her cooking 🇬🇷🥒🍅 We had a great time, cooking, talking and laughing, and learned lots of good tips about Cretan cooking. She also gave us each a cute apron, which we will wear each time we cook Greek dishes Highly recommended 😍“

“The manager is the great!!!! Love this place!!“

“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!“

“Delicious 😋 I love Dan's whole catfish...“

“My family and I stopped by Royal Fried Seafood and Grill when we were in Cedar Hill for a family reunion. The service was 10/10 and the food was absolutely amazing. My 7 year old son absolutely said this was the best food we had the entire trip, and though we’re foodies, my husband and I agreed! We’re already craving it again now that we’re back in Kansas! If we ever find ourselves back in the area, this WILL be on our list of stops! A true gem!“

“First time trying the food, it was amazing. Very well prepared, and I love the fact that it was real catfish. I will certainly order again.“

“The Customer Service of the young lady at the register and store Manager Jesus went above and beyond Service. Mom and I decided to dine in to eat some seafood, we ordered a 2 and 3 piece fish meal and they offered us some fried shrimp for an additional reasonable price with 2 waters. The food was delivered to our table hot, fresh and it was delicious. The Manager Jesus even came by our table to see if we needed anything else. Definitely recommend to try this location, will definitely be going back.“

“This food was so good, that I tasted it and closed the box. I was so scared that I would forget people were in there with me. So I waited till I left, and ate it like a wild animal. I got dirty like a 2 year old. Feel asleep and dreamed about this food. All I can say is thanks you and finally“

“Delicious! I stopped by to pick up some food on my way home and was trying somewhere new. Man! Am I glad I did. As a business owner, service is one the things that helps places stand out for good or bad. And I have to say, the service I received here was one of the best. Highly recommended!“

“Great atmosphere and service. Vodka daiquiri was fabulous and not too sweet. They allowed me to sample before I decided. The Hulk Daiquiri was more tart but good. I had them make me a 2nd one with a lil more vodka daq and the rest tequila Hulk daq. Fried oyesters were fresh snd excellent! Couldn't tell if calamari was pre-made or freshly prepared. Overall experience was great!!+“

With corn nuggets, iykyk.Meme Was my server 10/10“

“Purchased 2 meals on Saturday for someone and 2 meals on Sunday for my family and brought 2 family members with me who dined in. Please consider adding bread (preferably cornbread) with oxtail, smothered chicken, greens, etc. to the menu. Also, the warm pound cake given to customers was delicious!“

“They never disappoint with their fish and they have the best Cole slaw and desserts.“

“The management team was great working with me and my party. There were 20+ people in our party and the staff did a great job meeting our needs on the day of my gathering in July 2025. The food was delicious, the music and vibe was on point. i visited this spot over a year ago and didn't have a good experience with food or service but my recent visit reflected a totally different experience as mentioned above. I will definitely visit again and hopefully its cooler so that we. an enjoy their patio area.“

“I love their Cajun fish and if I’m in the area I will stop by. Definitely hate the owners decisions to close majority of the locations down? I miss the Waxahachie location I can remember eating there as kid and grown up! Why? They don’t make true fresh hot Catfish anymore.. Please consider this review“

“great food and service is fast“

“Such good food, daiquiris & service.“

“My shrimp order was good, but the lady behind had called in an order of tails. When she got there to pick them up she was told they were out of tails. I felt so bad for her because my wife eats them & loves them when they are fried extra crispy. Some one dropped the ball when they took her order#SoSad.“

“Mi esposo y yo frecuentemos este lugar y nuestra mesera favorita es Reyna. Es amable, profesional y nunca se olvida de preguntar si todo está bien o si puede traer algo más. Gracias Reyna eres la mejor!! Blanca y Salvador“

“Yessir! Had the smothered lamb chops earlier today. Will definitely be back through!“

“This is a restaurant inside of a gas station. Food here is good. Service is always quick and courteous. The brisket tacos are pretty awesome. A step above for sure with the smoked brisket. They also have a loaded baked potato (done chophouse style w/ smoked meat and baked beans, etc.) that will leave you stuffed if you can eat it all. Great place to eat.“
