50 Best Seafood Restaurants near The Colony

“1st time trying cooked oysters, they came highly recommended, and they taste great. The staff was professional and knowledgeable and gave good suggestions. The location is great. It is small on the inside and can get loud. The boil was garlic heavy, but the shrimp and crab legs were fresh and sizeable.“

“Good service. Reasonable prices.“

“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.“

“Food was absolutely amazing!! I visited for the first time today & I will definitely come back“

“This hidden gym in Carrollton Texas has the best seafood boil of any place I’ve ever been to. As a seafood fanatic, this is miles ahead of any other seafood restaurant I have been to. I ordered three pounds of crawfish with their signature “Captain Loui” sauce medium heat and it was delicious to say the least. The wait time was incredibly short compared to other seafood boil spots in the DFW area and the staff were friendly and kind. I didn’t see an employee who didn’t look happy to be there which was a nice touch to the already amazing atmosphere. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone!“

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

“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.“

“🙌🏻 🍤 ♥️ the food here is AMAZING!“

“At the Grapevine location in Harvest Hall, this was the best stall option out of the few our group tried. My gluten-sensitive husband ordered their daily special of loaded fried that were topped with steak, shrimp, and lobster. The garlic aioli was a bit strong, but tasty! It was a bit pricey, but so were all the other stalls and at least at this vendor you get lobster! See the picture in the comment!“

“Sr. Ozzy’s Tacos y Mariscos did not disappoint! My daughter and I tried La Torre appetizer, highly recommended. My daughter also tried the grilled shrimp and surf & turf specialty tacos with rice and beans. Definitely coming back to try something new!“

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

“The smoked salmon appetizer was a little lackluster in execution. It came with only four crackers and basically a sheet of smoked salmon, which was not really conducive to stacking onto the crackers, plus a few random slices of tomato. The flavor itself was there, but the overall setup of the dish just felt a little off.
That said, both of our entrees absolutely blew us out of the water and really turned the meal around. The Lucky’s pasta was incredibly decadent and super delicious with an amazing sauce, and the seared snapper had an immensely flavorful butter sauce that was just flat out delicious. The kalua dessert was also immensely flavorful and a great way to end the meal. The ambience and lighting were a little dark, but still nice, and the service was friendly throughout.“

“Dinner at the new location. Same delicious seafood. Beautiful new location with a great patio. Our server, Connor, was personable and efficient. We will return.“

“Celebrated my National Certification in Hospice here“

“💯 recommend! Everything we asked the waiter to recommend was absolutely delicious! We will be back for sure!“

“Exceptional food and friendly service. The whole belly clams were cooked to perfection!“

“I’m so glad to have found a poke spot! I just moved into the area and was hoping there would be one nearby and this one doesn’t disappoint. The bowl tasted amazing and fresh. The people working there, I think the owners, were very friendly! I’ll definitely be back :)“

“I met a dear friend here for lunch on Friday and we were seated by the bar. The bartender waited on us and was fantastic! His recommendation of the BBQ salmon tacos was spot on - seriously delicious. I liked the ambiance and the subtle Mardi Gras decorations too. I will definitely be back!“

“Amazing food, drinks, patio and atmosphere! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10!!“

“Truluck’s is a gem in west Plano. From the moment you walk in you know this restaurant is going to be great.

The staff is both friendly and competent. The design of the restaurant is stunning.

That said, the standout is the food. The crab cake was magnificent. Lump crab with no filler perfectly cooked with a delicious dill based sauce.

The sea bass puts Eddie V’s to shame. A perfect 8 ounces of seafood with delicious crab fried rice. Kudos to the staff in the kitchen. They obviously know what they are doing !👨‍🍳

I will be back to try the steaks.“

“Seasoned To Perfection even the fries !!!!!!“

“Hush puppies, fried catfish, iced tea and a yummy dessert“

“The food I received was awesome. It was exactly what I wanted. Great job guys!!“

“If you’ve been to this location recently, then I know you’ve met Dasia at the front and she is the BOMB!! Getting help over the phone and even at the front of a busy restaurant can sometimes be hectic but she did it with ease. I appreciate her being so nice and helpful today! Thank you Dasia!’ Can’t wait to come back!“

The best bread pudding.. seriously, if you like bread pudding, they have the best.

“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!“

“Have not been to red lobster in ages, but I’m glad I did. I ate at the bar and my bartender/waitress is Janet. A true professional at her craft. Now let’s get to the food, outstanding lobster, shrimp, salmon, and everything else was simply perfect. I recommend.“

“The best of the best! I haven’t been in ten years and they still remember me and treated me amazingly!“

“Al Biernat’s North delivers the kind of steakhouse experience that reminds you why classic dining still matters. From the moment my wife and I arrived, the experience began with complimentary valet parking—smooth, convenient, and a perfect first impression. Walking in, the service continued to set the tone—warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The hostess, Michelle, our waitress Bebe, and the manager on duty, James Gee, all moved with intention, making us feel less like customers and more like valued guests.

Al Biernat’s has built its reputation in Dallas on high standards, consistency, and a true commitment to quality—from premium cuts of meat to refined hospitality. They have two locations, and while we dined at Al Biernat’s North, I’m confident that same level of excellence carries across both.

Bebe stood out in a major way—knowledgeable, confident, and dialed in. She understood the menu thoroughly and had a great sense of what we were looking for, guiding us with recommendations that truly elevated the entire experience. That level of service makes a difference, and James Gee’s presence as manager reinforced that standard of excellence throughout the restaurant.

I ordered the dry-aged ribeye, crusted with peppercorn, and it was exceptional. Perfectly cooked, deeply flavorful, and incredibly tender—the knife didn’t cut through it, it glided. Each bite delivered that rich, buttery depth steak lovers chase. My wife ordered the filet mignon, and it was just as impressive—cooked to the perfect temperature, incredibly tender, and full of flavor. We sampled each other’s steaks, and the reaction was instant—one of those unspoken “this is special” moments that great food creates.

We also ordered several family-style sides to complement the meal, and they were just as impressive—well-prepared, generous, and full of flavor.

The ambiance is smooth and inviting, creating a relaxed yet upscale environment that enhances the entire experience. As someone who’s enjoyed steakhouses across the country, I can confidently say this one sets a high standard.

If you’re looking for a steakhouse that delivers on both food and service, Al Biernat’s is a must. This isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience.

Well done, Al Biernat’s North—truly well done. A well-earned 5-star experience.“

“Food was really good. Ordered to-go and it was packed really well.“

“We were very impressed with this place. We called them during the most recent ice storm to see if they were open…he said he was about to close but would stay open for us. Service was prompt, the food was hot and delicious, and it wasn’t too expensive either. Thanks for going the extra mile for our families tonight!“

“The food was better than what I had in Korea. Super delicious and highly recommended. We had the squid sashimi salad with cold noodles, live raw squid and fish roe stew. The owner even was kind enough to service a cucumber salad on the house . The entire experience was awesome!“

“Great service, delicious food“

“Excellent experience! Olivia was fantastic. Started off with a dozen oysters. So fresh & beautiful. Then Caesar salad with the best dressing ever. Filet mignon was cooked perfectly. Side of macaroni & cheese, wonderful and coconut crème pie for dessert. Cocktails always great! Perfect meal. ❤️“

“We love this location! Great service every time. Delicious food & amazing cocktails. We bring the kiddos too and they are so good and understanding with them“

“Our server Alex was amazing. Celebrated my brother 32 birthday! We order crawfish crab salmon potatoes corn sausage. Drinks kids loves the vibe. My 12 year old son who doesn’t like going out. Was enjoying himself . Eating listnkng to a great playlist . It was a vibe. Can’t wait to go back. Our bill was expensive. But so worth it.“

“Love this place, brings back memories of living in japan. And the dishes are very good and wow the spice levels. Chicken cutlets, with cheese and sausage on the side. Roasted sesame dressing is very good. Yum“

“My wife and I chose to celebrate Galentines Day at Eddie V's. We have been to all of the 5-Star Steak houses in DFW and had learned from a friend this was the place for the best steak. We were not disappointed. Our Filet's were exceptional and and cooked perfectly. However, it was our server, Thomas, (handle bar mustache) who made the evening special. He was attentive to our needs. Always available to assist without being annoying and answering our many questions. The consummate professional. When we return, we will certainly request his table and we would recommend him to anyone wanting an exceptional dining experience.“

“Great service. Delicious food“
