50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Southlake

“My husband and I recently celebrated our 36th anniversary. We’d celebrated on the weekend but on the actual day, we were headed to the big Barnes and Noble at Southlake and wanted to eat. Both of use hungry for steak we pulled up the restaurants around BN and found Trulucks. We’d never been there before and decided to try it. I’m so glad we did. A truly classy, gorgeous place with great atmosphere. We had a table in the dining room and the one of the best wait help, Germane Cain, the at I believe we’ve ever experienced.
This gentleman was extremely educated in cuisine, and he could share his knowledge without seeming pretentious. In fact, had we met Mr. Cain under other circumstances I think we would have had a great conversation. As it was, he had to take care of his other tables but did so without our ever having to ask for anything. This would be a great place to take family or business people and be sure that you would not be embarrassed.
We had new wines due to the great advice, and new dishes such as broccolini. And at the finish he brought us a big platter with Happy Anniversary written on it in chocolate and a Baked Alaska. I’d seen these on TV but never had one. This absolutely transcended the boundaries of regular or even top-drawer dining, becoming an experience in culinary delight.
The location is fantastic; you can stuff yourself silly and then go walk it off in the bookstore. The food was prepared so well the steaks almost melted in our mouths. The parmesan potatoes were almost as rich as the dessert. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough.“

“If you want to eat mashed potatoes so good you ascend, and dessert so incredible you believe in magic. This restaurant is the place for you. We requested the warm butter cake even though it was off menu because our server recommended it, and when I tell you it’s the best thing I’ve ever eaten I mean it from the bottom of my heart. I HIGHLY recommend.“

“Great food, great service, and did I mention GREAT FOOD?!?!?!“

“Always amazing! Staff is always the same and super friendly. It’s always immaculate with fair prices for the area. Highly recommend. Fried grouper sandwich is to die for!“

“I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. If I could offer one piece of feedback, it would be about how the food is served.

I’m very particular about hygiene, and I was disappointed to see my bowl brought to the table with the server’s thumb inside the rim of the bowl. I also noticed another server handling dishes the same way. While it may seem like a minor detail, it was a significant turnoff for me and took away from an otherwise great dining experience.

I hope this feedback is helpful, as I truly enjoyed everything else and would love to visit again.“

“Delicious! Food, service was excellent. The atmosphere was nice and quiet. Perfect for a date night! Everything was cooked to order how I liked it. Martinis were perfect! Our server, Aireanna was most accommodating and just a gem to speak with. We will be back!“

“Love this place, I’m not impressed with the new menu, you can tell inflation has definitely hit. Steak was amazing as always. Sangria was delicious! Will be back though.“

“The atmosphere, service, food and staff are all amazing! Every dish I have had was delicious and I would order each again. It is such a special night out when spent here!“

“Went for the 1st time to the one in Plano. They explained the menu. The tacos were to die for, so good! Butter and garlic shrimp and rice were made to perfection!! Glad we found this hidden gem!!!“

“What a great find. We came to celebrate our wedding anniversary and are very happy to have found this place. It fit us to a T. It’s laid back classy. Our waiter, Mr. Knievel, was super genuine, attentive and cool. Loved the bartender and the food was excellent. It’s not cheap, but you get what you pay for and in this case it’s worth the price.“

“The food was delicious and served promptly. My fiance had the pork chops and I had the shrimp with citrus beurre blanc. We also had a cocktail, both of which were excellent. I had a French martini and my fiance had an old-fashioned. Alex was our server and stopped by the table multiple times to ensure we didn't need anything. Parking was a little tricky as the street spaces were full and the immediate parking lot behind the restaurant, but there were spots in the parking garage.“

“Tonight we decided to stop in and celebrate my new position with our beloved company as we have both worked there for decades! We elected to sit at a booth and I was very happy they sat us at a half moon booth with tons of room. Our food server, Sarah, was amazing from the start. Filled with enthusiasm and knowledge. She didn’t miss a beat and quickly picked up on what we liked. The perfect amount of attention and care. The manager was pretty entertaining himself. I’m not a big seafood diner so I had the awesome filet!! She was right! Fabulous it was! We will be returning soon! Thanks for a memorable dinner!!“

“Swazey was an amazing server! She was so friendly, attentive, and made our entire dining experience even better. She was always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed, had a great attitude, and made us feel so welcome. The food at Fish City Grill was delicious, and her excellent service made the meal even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back and hope to have Swazey as our server again. She truly deserves the recognition!“

“Food and service is great. We’re been to the restaurant several times and always good.“

“What a great experience. Highly recommend the red snapper, crab and shrimp plate with broccolini. The turtle fudge brownie was great.
Could serve some expresso, rather than standard coffee, but Ill let it slide because Im euphorically happy and nearly in a food coma from dinner right now ;)“

“First time visiting and can’t wait to come back. Everything was amazing and service was top notch! Very impressed!“

“Came here for daughter’s birthday wanting crab legs! We love it! We’ll be back! Sarai is the best!“

“We loved our first experience with Bob's. All the staff greeted us with warm smiles. We were waited on by Isabelle and she was amazingly attentive to us. One of the managers even came by to make sure our first time was going well and to remind my husband that his bday deserves a dessert. The ambiance was perfect for our date night and the food melted in our mouths. It was so delicious! We found our new favorite spot! Thank you!!“

“Hear ye, hear ye — let it be known across the land that my visit unto Coco Shrimp was an experience most noble and worthy of the highest praise in all the kingdom. Upon crossing the threshold of this fine establishment, I was greeted not as a mere traveler seeking sustenance, but as honored royalty returning from victorious battle. The hall itself was warm and lively, filled with aromas so magnificent that even the greatest feasts of ancient kings would pale in comparison.

Our most honorable steward for the evening, the noble Sir Cy, conducted himself with grace, wisdom, and hospitality befitting a knight of the highest order. Never once did our goblets run dry, nor were we left waiting in hunger. Sir Cy possessed deep knowledge of the sacred menu scrolls and guided us through the offerings with confidence and courtesy. His demeanor was cheerful, respectful, and steadfast, as though he had sworn an oath before the royal court to ensure all guests departed fully satisfied and in good spirits.

As for the feast itself, I partook in the shrimp tacos, and I say this truthfully before all witnesses: these were not mere tacos, but culinary treasures forged by the hands of master craftsmen. The shrimp were cooked to perfection, seasoned with enchantments unknown to mortal men, bearing flavors so rich and glorious that I nearly rose from my seat to proclaim victory unto the heavens. Each bite delivered balance and harmony worthy of the royal banquet tables of old. The tortillas were soft and fresh as morning bread from the village ovens, while the toppings and sauces complemented the shrimp with precision akin to a blacksmith forging a legendary blade.

Never before have I encountered seafood so fresh and noble in character. One could easily believe the shrimp had been harvested directly from Poseidon’s own waters and delivered by royal carriage straight unto the kitchen. The portions were generous, the presentation magnificent, and the quality remained unwavering throughout the entirety of the feast.

Furthermore, the establishment itself was kept in immaculate order. The tables shone as though polished for a gathering of kings, and the atmosphere carried both comfort and merriment throughout the hall. The staff moved with efficiency and honor, ensuring every patron was treated with dignity and care.

But above all else, it was Sir Cy who elevated this evening from a simple meal unto a legendary tale worthy of song and parchment. His service was swift as a royal messenger, kind as a benevolent ruler, and dependable as the castle walls themselves. In a realm where true hospitality grows increasingly rare, Sir Cy stands as a beacon of excellence.

Thus, I decree unto all wandering travelers, hungry knights, weary merchants, and noble families alike: journey forth unto Coco Shrimp and partake in their glorious offerings. Should fortune favor you, request Sir Cy as your steward, for your dining experience shall surely become one worthy of legend. I shall return again without hesitation, for this feast has earned a permanent place within the chronicles of my kingdom.“

“Great people, in a great location, with GREAT food!! Lobster Rolls…uh yes please!! So much lobster goodness it will make you freak! In all seriousness, such a good place to bring the family and experience some fantastic food. The cooks take pride in their craft, we will be coming back for more!“

“Very good!!! We got a combo and added an extra on of grab with the HAWT GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE and let me tell you… so flavorful and very hot. Prices are cheaper than other places I noticed. My margarita was strong and not too sweet and also very decently priced! Y’all have got to go try this place. Our server was Chloe and she was very attentive and sweet. ❤️10/10 will recommend!“

“Stopped in for a bite between flights. I appreciated that my waitress asked me how much time I had to catch my flight before she took my order.I had sweet tea and the Catfish Po' Boy with fries. I ordered the dirty rice with my meal, but got fries. Didn't have time to complain and the fries are good.“

“Very pleasant atmosphere with more than cordial staff! Blessings and kind greetings were given freely! I love it! The food is good. But, I made the mistake of ordering several menu items that had more cornmeal batter than I prefer. This was my first time here since moving to Texas.“

“Took the dogs with us to visit the Hilltop food truck yard and the Catfish hut was exceptionally yummy! Will definitely eat here again, the tartar sauce that the grandmother makes herself is amazing and the process they take to preparing their foods really shows. Very fresh!“

“I went to Red Panda on Monday, 11-17-25. I had egg soup the first time I went and this was my second time going. I had the egg soup again and the chicken fried rice. It was simply delicious!! They served with excellence every customer. It was a pleasant relaxing environment as well. The music was just right and not too loud like some places you go too. People could sit and talk and enjoy their meal. I did the lunch special which is a savings!! I will be back!!“

“**A Memorable Steak Dinner at a Hidden Gem** We recently enjoyed an unforgettable steak dinner at a charming boutique restaurant, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment we walked in, the cozy ambiance and attentive staff made us feel right at home. The star of the evening was, without a doubt, the steak. Cooked to absolute perfection—tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The chef clearly knows their craft, as each bite melted in our mouths and was seasoned just right. The accompanying sides were equally impressive: the roasted vegetables were fresh and vibrant, and the twice baked potatoes were the perfect comfort food. The cobbler was outstanding as well. What truly set this experience apart was the personal touch. The staff took time to explain the menu, offer pairing suggestions, and check in at just the right moments. The boutique setting made the evening feel intimate and special, far from the hustle and bustle of larger venues. If you’re looking for a top-notch steak dinner in a warm, welcoming atmosphere, this little restaurant is an absolute must-visit. We can’t wait to return!“

“good food friendly service“

“We had lunch at Saltgrass Steakhouse Grapevine yesterday, and the food, as usual, was extraordinary. What made our visit beyond exceptional was the manager, Melissa. She deserves more praise than I have words for. Never in our dining experiences have we met someone so kind and efficient! Thank you Saltgrass for the great food and especially for the amazing Melissa.“

“$25 16oz ribeye on Thursday and $11 8oz sirloin on Monday!“

“Hands down the best meal I have ever had! ( I’ve always been a fan of Dallas’ Old Warsaw and Ft Worths Del Frisco). Perry’s outshined them by far. Food was superb and our server Maddison was exceptional. This is a dining experience one can hope to have.“

“Always very good food. I don't eat there as often as I would like.“

“Loved this location of Fuzzy's!! Everyone was very friendly and we had great service! The nachos were delicious and the Fuzzy Mule, Fuzzy Diver and the margarita and michelada were so delicious. We will definitely be back!“

“Nice quite restaurant, relaxing setting. Abby was great as our server, she made sure we needed everything we needed to make it a wonderful dinner experience,top notch service, and the food was absolutely fresh and delicious. Prices are extremely reasonable with big portions including the salads. We will definitely be back soon. Thank you Abby and staff“

“Great service and great food!“

“The food, service, and atmosphere are consistently exceptional. The live music on Saturday evening added a refined touch and elevated the entire dining experience. We have been coming here for years, and it continues to improve with every visit. Even for those outside the Colleyville area, it is unquestionably worth the drive for such a polished and memorable evening.“

“Congratulations!!! Food Looks amazing!“

“Our first time here, and the Garlic Steak Frites was excellent—cooked perfectly medium, just as requested. Unfortunately, the steak arrived quite late, likely due to a communication issue in the kitchen. The rest of the dishes complemented each other well, and we especially loved the bread served for the table.

The service was great, and the manager went above and beyond. He personally sat down with us to discuss what may have gone wrong and checked on us while we waited for the steak. We truly appreciated his professionalism and kindness, as well as his decision to remove the steak from our bill.

The atmosphere was warm, cozy, and inviting. Despite the delay, the excellent hospitality and genuine care from the staff made for a positive dining experience. Thank you for taking such good care of us.“
