19 Best Seafood Restaurants near Gainesville

“We made our first visit to Blue Ridge Seafood today, and loved it! Awesome old school seafood/crab place. Super friendly staff. Grandkids got their first blue crabs. 🦀🦀“

“Audrey is the GOAT. Burger was bussin. Absolutely try this place!“

“We had a very wonderful experience at Olive Pizza & Grill . the food was delicious, customer service was top notch and the staff were really polite and kind, For Vegetarians also this is the good option,“

“We’ve been coming to this KBBQ spot since they first opened, and it’s easily become one of our favorite places. The food is always amazing, but tonight our server Noah truly made the experience exceptional. He went above and beyond the entire night, was incredibly attentive, kind, and made sure everything was perfect for us. Amazing service like that keeps us coming back!“

“We recently moved here from Falls Church and have been struggling to find a Chinese spot that actually measures up—until now. I placed a takeout order for the Hunan Chicken lunch special and was honestly blown away.

Even after the drive home, the food was piping hot and the quality was top-tier. The veggies had that perfect fresh crunch and weren't soggy at all. Most takeout in the area can be a bit bland, but the seasoning and spice level here were exactly what I’ve been looking for.

The shop has a great family-run vibe; I’m pretty sure the owner herself took my order when I walked in, and he was incredibly friendly. The value is also insane. My lunch special came with fried or white rice and a spring roll for under $10, which is a great value.

We did ourselves (and them) a favor and payed with cash. In a world of rising prices, it’s one way to support local businesses like this one so they don’t get eaten up by credit card fees. Let’s help them keep these amazing $10 lunch deals alive!“

“The crab cakes are genuine lump crab and are not substituted with other fillings. I recommend giving them a try. Additionally, I suggest that the establishment expand its menu to include other sides, such as fries, string beans, or macaroni and cheese. The shrimp pasta is exceptional. While the food is somewhat pricey, they do charge an extra fee for the salads, but I still encourage you to give them a try.“

“La comida es muy en buena, a mi esposa y a mi nos encanta, cada visita a este lugar siempre me quedan ganas de volver! Mi última visita nos atendió Estefany y nos ofreció un excelente servicio.“

“Love purchasing from Ford’s when they are in Hillsboro! I was excited when my husband texted me this morning that the truck was back ! Was hoping for dinner tonight but sadly looks like i will have to wait. I’ve always had excellent food and service!“

“Valentines in Haymarket is the best!“

“……………………………………………………………..“

“$90 for a dozen large males! That's insane especially when you can get 3 dozen and 2 lbs of shrimp from Dents crabs fir $100“

“just had lunch. very good will be back again.“

“I love this restaurant! For years it has been a favorite. The food is great and so is the service.“

“Very fun, very tasty, great atmosphere! They also now have bubble tea and the taro with mango stars is delicious!“

“Yes my wife and I almost didn't go in . Wow ! That would of been a bad mistake! This place is the Best I've had . Margaritas were on point , the food was on point and the service was on point. Don't pass it by !“

“Ordered filet and scallops. Wife ordered scallops. Menu said large scallops. Scallops were medium at best. Expensive item should be at least size of silver dollar. Tasted great. Steak was perfect. I’m hoping one day they’ll offer choose your own sides.“

“I had a totally different experience here. The staff has always been polite and helpful, and the food is fresh and tasty.

Also, it’s a bit misleading to say it was just soy sauce—there were multiple extra sauce requests like spicy mayo and chili sauce. It’s pretty normal for places to charge for additional sauces beyond the basics.

Overall, great service and solid food. Definitely worth trying for yourself!“

“We finally tried this place and must say we had a great experience! The Pupusas are delicious (very cheesy) and fresh! Their nachos are real nachos, they had carne asada pieces, beans, cheese, onions, tomatoes and probably more. Their Horchata is probably the best I’ve had in a long time! Milky not too sweet and definitely flavorful. Hungry for Authentic Salvadoran food? This is probably the place!“

“great food. Tony is amazing cook.“
