Flying Fish

Great fun place. You definitely want to stay and sit on the deck. The little lake there provides a beautiful sunset and great views. The catfish was good, but not great. They are more expensive than the other places we’ve tried for catfish. You are definitely paying for the location. The serving size on my fish was tiny. The shrimp was good. Coleslaw good; red beans and rice good. Banana pudding was not like mama used to make—it doesn’t need that whipped topping on it. The green beans had some excellent seasonings.

We went on a Wednesday and they had all-you-can-eat catfish for 17.99. It included fries, a few hushpuppies, and 4 large fillets. When you are ready for more, just go to the register. You can choose how many additional fillets you want. They have a nice menu full of choices from seafood to burgers. Drinks are self-serve. They offer beer and some liquor (margaritas). We also ordered dessert. I was happy the bread pudding wasn't made with raisins! I believe it had small pieces of apple..

Recently, I had the pleasure of dining at the Flying Fish Restaurant, and it was an experience I can't wait to repeat. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was welcoming and warm, setting the stage for what turned out to be an exceptional meal. I opted for the Rainbow Trout Plate, and it was nothing short of spectacular.

Celebrating a family member's birthday with having dinner, they wanted to go to Flying Fish. It may be strange to some however I do not like to have seafood unless I am by the sea. Call me crazy but I said what I said. Not wanting to be the Debbie-downer of the group, I humbly complied. I was super surprised and had a wonderful experience. The restaurant was clean and the people working there were wonderful. There were six of us so we ordered a little bit of everything and reluctantly shared once we tasted how good the food was. The bill was very reasonable too. Our group tends to start ordering all things that look good and the bill can get a little out of hand but I was pleasantly surprised with the total averaging 25-30 per person. Not staying soo true to my crazy quirk about not eating seafood unless I am by the sea, I will gladly go back there again. Did I mention the food was outstanding! Did I mention the people were congenial and happy and very wonderful to work with? Do yourself a "flavor" and go try this place!

My husband and I have eaten here several times. We love the friendly staff and hospitable atmosphere. We joined the Grub Club so we can get deals on delicious food. One of my favorites is Caddo, seasoned tilapia and shrimp served with rice. Stop by soon and bring a hearty appetite.

I had the shrimp po boy sandwhich, with fries, and coleslaw, and it was DELICIOUS! We ordered our food, and within 15 minutes, we were eating! The music and the BEAUTIFUL VIEW made everything PERFECT!

The food was decent but not great. Grilled grouper was thin and dried or but jambalaya was good. The breading feel right off of the frog legs, but they were cooked very well and meat was tender. Fried shrimp was the best thing our group had. The outdoor seating on the water was a nice way to fine. Folks at the counter were moderately helpful but less than friendly. Prices weren't bad for the portions, but a little high for the quality.

Awesome food. Awesome service. Friendly staff. I like the whole snapper. The ceviche is also on point... and the oysters are solid, if not even a little too big... that's not a complaint. Great spot!

I give this place a solid 4.5 stars, but since that's not an option I chose 5. It's very casual inside and outside. You order your food, pay, then sit anywhere you'd like. We chose to sit outside as this restaurant sits on the water. People were fishing on the patio near our tables, as well as down below. It was pretty cool! This restaurant is located in a plaza with many other eateries and an outdoor concert venue. It's a great place for a date night or a family outing. The food was absolutely delicious!!!!!! And, very affordable. It's hard to find crawfish in Dallas for a decent price. So, when I called to inquire and they told me $8.95 per pound, I couldn't hang up fast enough. I told my husband, "Let's go NOW!" Lol We grabbed a few friends and off we went. 15 minutes later, we were in heaven. We will definitely return next time we are in the area!!!

The restaurant overlooks the lake and has amazing views from the patio. They also have indoor seating. It's a self-serve restaurant - you place the order at the counter, get your buzzer and pick up the order when it's ready. The staff are friendly and willing to help. Food is just average. The crawfish boil was a disappointment. Will not recommend it. The rest of the food was not bad. Parking can be tricky during busy hours. Pricing is moderate. If you are looking for a place to chill out with a view, have a few drinks and eat some snacks, this is the right place for you!

This is next to my work office and I tried it for the first time the other day with a few coworkers. I ordered the lobster roll and it comes with fries and coleslaw. It was delicious! I definitely want to come back and try their other menu items. The decor inside is charming. The place is right next to the lake and has both indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant was quiet and the cashier was friendly!

Look don't get me wrong. This place has the best gumbo. I know places want to cut corners and save money. But this amount of okra is disrespectful lol it's to much! I'd rather have more rice. Okra is ok, just not 50%of my gumbo please.

Fun atmosphere right over the water. In Dallas getting truly fresh fish is not going to be a reality but I can say it did not disappoint. For this price point it is hard to beat. It is a walk up and order place. Large inside and large outdoor patio. Wait was 10 min at the busiest times. Beer and margarita options are popular. Often boiled crawfish when in season.

DoorDash was offering 1/2 price on orders this weekend, so I indulged and ordered delivery. I ordered the whole fried catfish with onion rings, extra crispy for both. The food was excellent. Why 4 stars? The bag was not sealed. Not as much of a small thing this day and age.

The set up and area of town made this option the best fit for our family dinner. We did not love the options, as many lacked seasoning. The fish, shrimp, and other items we tried under seasoned. There is also some confusion about the sauce options. They advise it's passed the drink station, but what they don't tell you is they supply you will sauces as well. Then you end up with double sauce and it's very wasteful. The service is all on the front end, so tables were cleaned up but no real table service for additional drinks, etc. it was all self service.

Always enjoy coming and sitting outside over looking the lake. You order at the counter and then go pick up your mail when it's ready. Staff is always quick Service is great, food is delicious. They do have a GrubHub club. You should join because you will receive a buy. One get one monthly, which really helps with the budget. I've tried many of the entrées. I really liked the salmon tacos , the hush puppies are really good too I can't say that I really have had anything I don't like. The margherita is good too

Friendly service and delish food! We love the fried tilapia. Ambiance is great on the water (weather permitting). I also love a place that's generous with the condiments.

Y'all!!! I've been craving frog legs for YEARS and haven't been able to find a place that has them, let alone be THIS GOOD!!! My God!!! Also, I'm a hot sauce connoisseur and they had SUCH a variety!!! I absolutely tried them all!! Came in on a day that it was storming, so we didn't get to see the great water views since this sits right over the water's edge. Great indoor and outdoor seating. I love the interior! You can bring a Big Mouth Billy Bass (yes, those ones) and they'll let you hang it on their wall! They'll hang your pictures of any catches you got!!!! Lots of personality!!! The menu is so expansive, it'll take you a couple times to really try everything!!! Husband got the blackened shrimp and he loved it!!! Will defo be back!!'

No shrimp on the shrimp po-boy This is really bad. Hush puppies have shrank Prices up No good

Having been to the Little Rock location several times, I had high expectations for this location. I ordered the grilled red snapper platter, which comes with red beans and rice, as well as grilled vegetables. The veggies were super garlicky, and the red beans and rice had a weird taste of cloves or all spice which was a bit much. The fish was grilled perfectly, and the chimichurri sauce on it had a nice kick, although it was also very garlicky. All in all, the layout was good as was the usually high selection of condiments for any seafood meal.

I found this place on a hunt for shrimp in Dallas that didn't taste frozen and wasn't boiled. Shell Shack's locations are either inconvenient or inconsistent. I was pleasantly surprised by Flying Fish. Beware, close parking is limited. I've been lucky the 3 times I've went. However I believe there is a parking garage (I'm not sure how much or if it costs anything) but it's a little walk from the restaurant. I was taken aback the first time I went in because I thought it was like a normal full service restaurant. You actually walk up to the counter, order, get a buzzer, get your own non alcoholic drinks, and sit wherever you would like. 2/3 times I was served by the gentleman with the hat and no glasses. You'll know exactly who I'm talking about when he greets you. He's an absolute gem and has the BEST customer service skills. Although it's self serve for the most part, he jumped in and helped when other cashier wasn't so friendly. I ordered and went straight to my table. I totally forgot about getting my drinks so I went back up to verify if I needed to wait for alcoholic beverages or if they will be brought out. He made one immediately for me, said he would bring it over, and then pointed me to the fountain to get my other drinks. When my order was ready, we had 2 huge trays. Instead of me making multiple trips, he grabbed one and walked it to my table. Everything we've ever ordered has been pretty good. I typically order some variation of shrimp and my only complaint is that it could use a little bit of seasoning. I wasn't a huge fan of the tomato sauce that they serve with it (it's kind of brothy). I honestly end up eating it with cocktail sauce and call it a day. The shrimp are never mushy which is why I love this place. For the veggies lover or those that need to have something healthy on the plate, try the grilled zucchini and squash! It's cooked perfectly and squeezing a little lemon does the trick. The veggies on the kabobs should you decide to try it are very soft. I wasn't a huge fan of the tomatoes on there and the zucchini lost its crunch. (If you haven't noticed, I have texture issues haha!) I'll wrap this thing up and say, if you're not sure if you want to try this place, sign up for their e-mail club online. Once a month I get coupons for Buy One Get One Free Entrées (there's like a $12- $14 limit) or Free Jambalaya. It's great to use it to try something new without feeling guilty for burning a hole in your wallet. Hope you love this place as much as I do!

This place is great for a variety of Southern seafood type dishes. My husband & I shared their Snapper Veracruz dish, & it was amazingly yummy. Glad we also decided to share, as the portion size was HUGE! (Go big or go home when it Texas, I guess. lol) wish it wasn't so hot outside so that we could have lunch by the lake. Nonetheless, we had a good time. Will come back with friends & family.

A surprisingly little restaurant that really did feel like we were close to the beach while eating here. I ended up getting the catfish gumbo and the boyfriend got the crawfish po boy. I honestly didn't care for the gumbo too much. My rice was a bit dry and tasted like I got the last bit of an older batch right before they refilled it. The gumbo itself was okay, but I felt like it could have had more meat in it and some more seasoning. What I did absolutely love was the catfish. I would come back and just get the catfish platter. The boyfriend liked his crawfish po boy but I convinced him to try the oyster po boy next time. Extra brownie points for the sauce and condiments bar. I love being able to get my own lemon slices and tartar sauce.

I remember coming to this location for a meeting and loved the big space and patio area. Then of course the food. It's good, fresh and hot seafood. You order and wait for your sensor to buzz you back to the counter. You can easily enjoy a meal under $20.00 bucks. I had the catfish and shrimp combo. I couldn't decide so I split my choose down the middle. I wish they would have more hush puppies in the basket because I loved them. My friend had catfish and sautéed okra. Good thing we talked before we got our food because we happily ate and drunk our beer. Nice and cold. We went to the Coppell location that has a wonderful patio where you can feed the fish and kids can play around. This is a good location for a date night to enjoy a meal and walk along the boardwalk.

great food great service Beautiful Close to Las Colinas look at north lake look into the water for fish and turtles catfish French fries lemonade

Flying high! So my wife and I were riding around and we saw this complex and started to drive through. She was in a mood for seafood and we found this place. We walked in and it wasn't quite what I was expecting. You order at the counter and they bring the food over to you. Tina, was the counter lady and she saw us looking their huge menu. So she asked my wife what does she like and she said shrimp. She got a simple shrimp basket with fries, hush puppies and a lemonade. I got the Mahi cooked traditional with red beans and rice plus vegetables. The food came out promptly and I tasted the red brands and rice. Can I say, glorious as it was delicious to the point where I ate it all first. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her shrimp as she was quiet throughout dinner. Tina came over and talked with us about their other locations that serve a traditional breakfast and how much different it looked compared to the location in Valley Ranch. I'm sure if you enjoy fried or grilled seafood, this place won't disappoint. They do not have scallops and that just broke my heart. But rest assured you will find something to enjoy here!

We wanted seafood and were in the Grapevine area. As I was searching, I came across this place so we decided to go. It's in a cool spot... it was dark so I couldn't see everything that was around. It looked to have some entertainment, walking areas, etc. Cool place to hang out outside. We went inside and ordered at the front and found a seat. There were several other people dining that evening as well. We got poboys, Catfish, and shrimp between the four of us. I also ordered the stuffed jalapeños... they were just OK... seemed overdone. I did enjoy my poboy though. Servers were cool... no issues. We will definitely go back if in the area.

We visited a Flying seafood location in east Texas and Louisiana and figured we should give this casual dining spot a visit too for comparison sake. I am glad we did. The food was very similar indeed. Very good food and great counter service with AYCD soft drinks, lemonade, and tea bar. Menus are similar in the starters, fried seafood baskets, , poboy loaf, and grilled seafood plates. I had fried pickles and their boiled, excellently seasoning, potatoes. Red beans and rice were good but I added hot sauce for that extra flavor kick because I can! All Tables are set with crackers, and bottled hot sauces for that reason. Hubs raved about their delicious seafood in particular the shrimp and oysters, fried to golden crispy goodness, he added. The catfish filets were not truly filets in my opinion just small pieces, if expecting true 4-finger sized catfish fillets, not here. The condiment bar is the basic ketchup, sliced lemons, etc. self service of course.

Another day of searching for good food and I stumbled across Flying Fish. I saw great reviews on the restaurant so I decided to give it a try. The one thing I can say is.... The seafood is fresh tasting. I felt as if the fish that I got was caught and fried on the same day. This is the reason why I gave this restaurant four stars. My only wish is that they put a bit more seasoning on the catfish. My shrimp Po boy was dry. I had to slather my Po boy with tartar sauce. The shrimp was fresh and fried to perfection but unfortunately, it needed more seasoning. I'm sorry to say but I hated the hush puppies. They were too sweet for my taste. Overall, this restaurant was pretty good. Please don't let my review deter you from going to this restaurant. For my taste, I just needed more salt and pepper.

We had another awesome experience here at Flying Fish in Coppell, Cypress Waters and we continue to come back because of Toni! She is very helpful and has the most positive attitude!! Toni exudes the absolute best customer care with a smile every time we come here.

The calamari was very tasty. The salmon could've had a little more flavor. The catfish and gumbo were pretty good. Hush puppies were very good setting was nice outdoor patio was pleasant as well.

This location is near my work and I have been here several times. It's a great location in The Sound on the lake. The back patio is very open and relaxing with the view of the lake. The menu is vast for their basket combos to the grilled fish. You can't go wrong and I highly recommend you stop by for a visit. If you have trouble parking on the street, directly across from the restaurant is a free parking garage. Enjoy.

I stopped by this place with my family while on vacation. The location is adorable! It has both indoor and outdoor seating. If the weather is nice, I highly recommend the outdoor seating! It's right by the water so it has a very nice atmosphere. You order inside and find your own seating. We ordered the shrimp/catfish basket, shrimp tacos, grilled red snapper fillet, and oysters. All the seafood tasted so fresh and everything was delicious! If it's your first time, the menu might be overwhelming. Feel free to ask the people at the front! The guy taking our order was extremely helpful in providing recommendations :)

This is in a nice location and has great views over the nearby lake/pond and walking path. The area is new and is actually quite impressive with a few options all in the same area. Parking can be a bit limited. Flying Fish is good for having an expansive menu that includes grilled, fried, blackened fish, shrimp, oysters, in platters, po'boy, salads, etc. You order at the counter and seat yourself. The drinks are self serve and include the typical sodas and iced tea. They have a ton of condiments and hot sauces available. Some of the food was good and some was a disappointment. The grilled tilapia po'boy was cooked perfectly and a good portion. The fried oyster po'boy was so skimpy and had maybe five oysters on it. The po'boy bread was really good. The place is worth a try but maybe stick to some of the popular options such as fried catfish platter, etc. Try to visit when the weather is nice so you can enjoy the outdoor seating.

It's Fried but OMG. So good. Staff is kind and very helpful when you're not sure. Place is clean and nice ambiance...been several times will continue to go. Also they have a reward program. Great deals.

First time and has the grilled red snapper. It was good. Cute place for the family and enjoy some seafood.

Wow! Even though I got my food to go...it was a great experience! The cashier was courteous! The food was brought out super quick & piping hot!!! Such a wonderful place! It sits on a little lake with a beautiful view! I got the shrimp & catfish basket! Maaaan! The shrimp were delectable: Butterflied, tasty lite batter & cooked perfectly & Super fresh! Catfish-delicious! Afterwards you can take a walk on a trail by the water, chill on picnic tables & play a couple outdoor games. I'll def be back with family!

Amazing dish! Grilled shrimp, skewers with veggies and a side of red potatoes. Flying fish has some of the best food in town for the money.

Came in for my birthday after work specifically for the 5 dollar margaritas during happy hour. And since there is no bar you have to ask the guy at the register. So I say 2 margaritas and these here crickets...Alex responds 20 dollars...I say aren't we in happy hour your sign says a dollar off..well he's already poured two 18 ounce margaritas that are 9 dollars!!! Lmbo really? So I pay...I mean it's my freakin birthday right? No one is gonna dim my light!!! Lol so I pull up their menu and see that 10 ounce margaritas are 6 dollars...during happy hour would make them 5 dollars!! Lol that's what I wanted originally! Lol I know how to order the next round though! Alex will NOT bamboozel me again! Lol So be aware if you 5 dollar margaritas during happy hour order the 10 ounce! Cheers!!

LOVE this restaurant!!! Great ambiance with a beautiful patio on the water. Service is always extra friendly here. And the FOOD is AMAZING!! When we first started coming here, my favorite was the Grouper PoBoy sandwich, but now we also get the crab and shrimp plates, beers, margaritas, and just enjoy the sunset with DELICIOUS seafood!!

We had an amazing visit today. Husband's first crawfish this season. Lobster roll was outstanding. The manager Ross and his team were very accommodating w/ helping carry things out for us since I'm using a cane right now. Loved how they had a place for the Mama duck to nest w/ a cute sign.

First off Excellent service. Little high price for the crawfish ($8.25lb) It wasn't anything special. Shrimp was good. Wife loved the fried crawfish Po boy

I've been to a few locations and this definitely has a wonderful locale to visit! Parking isnt the best and you know I've never been upset with it because you get to walk and hear some live music, see some doggos, people watch, and see the art structures that are sprinkled around the area. They have inside seating and a nice patio right on the water which makes it that much better especially eating fishy food! You can look out while you crack some crab or enjoy your fish and pretend you aren't in metropolis. The shrimp I've had is cooked spot on, crab legs are yummo, fish is equally good... Honestly haven't had anything yet that I've said I wouldn't get again. They do "spice" a little light imo, it's more of a flick of the wrist over the top of your dish rather than boiled in but you can ask for spice as they are super accommodating. I wish they would add the flavored margaritas to the menus *** I eyeballed one at another table and asked and that's how I discovered they had flavored ones. I'm a lightweight and the large margaritas is plenty for me lol they are so good!! Ask for mango or strawberry! I'll add the young man who cleans the patio is just the sweetest EVER!! I wish I got his name.. He will stop and chat with you and I watched him proactively get a sweet panting doggie a bowl of water while asking before placing it down. Heart of gold this young man has Don't skip the desserts btw I've tried those too... The key lime sheesh that's good stuff... Get it you won't regret it!

I have been wanting to try this place for years- now, I vow to return sooner than later! My gah, Juan and Bevelin made our experience a true VIP moment. Clean and bright restaurant with a majestic view of the water way. Loved the outdoor area too! The menu is extensive and the variety is va-va-voom wonderful. Juan was at the register and helped us order some some tasty dishes. He was patient and polite. We ordered the lobster stew, very tasty, I had never had a stew like this, it was definitely jam packed with veggies and lobster. Fried okra, grits and gumbo, chicken and shrimp basket all wonderful choices. The grits were something I had never tried- they were fried into a cake. Crispy and interesting. Worthy of a try!! The outdoor patio is where we enjoyed lunch, it was breezy and beautiful. Bevelin and Juan delivered our food with a smile. Juan hooked us up with margarita samples and a giant mango margarita!!!!!! It was not only beautifully made but tasty as all get out. Perfect for a summer lunch. Thank you, Flying fish, you made our day! Great food, service and it was perfect! P.s. bring your fishing pole- we made a friend while lunching. He was fishing off the restaurant balcony. Nice!

I would say this could be the best location in DFW. It has a great deck over the water and has the overall development to walk around in and has an outdoor stage with live music on the weekends in the park. You can find everything Fish on their menu as well. I tried the Mahi-mahi app-Boy and it was good. I had two desserts because how worse was i supposed to review every dessert!? They both solid choices with the key lime pie and banana pudding but think i liked the pudding a little more.

The Flying Fish in The District Cypress Waters is clean, spacious and friendly. The food is great, prices very reasonable and customers service is great. Overall this was a great experience and I will be returning and highly recommend The Flying Fish.

I have gotten food to go from this location three times in the past, it was OK, I didn't have too many complaints, but eating in was a totally new experience. The ordering process at the counter seemed daunting at first, but was so easy. We placed our order and it was ready fairly quickly. You go get the food yourself and return to a table you also pick yourself. It was great. The food makes it. The tables were clean, there were napkins and condiments waiting on the tables. We ordered raw oysters, fried calamari, fried catfish jambalaya, boiled crawfish, and banana pudding. No complaints on food flavor, portions, prices, anything. It was all so good.

We have been here a couple of times, have had varied fish baskets and it is always good. The prices are a little high, for this kind of window pickup food, but The Sound is a great venue with the patio over the water.

Food was not fit to eat . It was cold , hard , tasted gamey and old . Very disappointing .

We originally planned to visit Rodeo Goat but noticed this spot right next door and couldn't resist trying something new. We're so glad we did because the food and ambiance is amazing. The catfish and shrimp platter was delicious, and we were able to sit outside, crack a beer, and enjoy the beautiful weather. This is a great place to stop into on a sunny, breezy day. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu.

Great fried fish options, pretty much self service other than busing the table but friendly staff and amusing decor aligned with the name of the restaurant.

I've had this Flying Fish bookmarked forever. I want to sit on the patio overlooking the lake and have a meal. The day we arrived, it was 34 degrees and a 30 mph wind. So much for the patio idea! I think it was the manager helping us. Very nice, knew the menu in and out, good guy. I picked the trout almandine. It was excellent and very tasty. The grilled veggies were ok but pretty bland. Need more seasoning. The fried okra was perfection on my fork! Mikey, unfortunately, picked his favorite, fried oysters. The oysters were so small you couldn't taste them. The deep frying dried them out to almost nothing. The seasoning in the batter was really good. I tried several of his oysters, and the seasoning was great but absolutely no oyster taste. Sorry Mike. It's a great location, and maybe it will be warm next time!

Love the cat fish here. Get it all the time n good Tartar sauce and great atmosphere. Looking forward to try more food soon. Got a reward card after ten you get one free.

Fried Oysters should not be so crisp they look and taste burned. And gulf oysters should be at least as big as the hush puppies. Server was prompt and polite. The manager was as nice but clearly doesn't care to work here. He said "I don't check the orders."

This is my favorite location! The food here is always delicious! The service is great! The place is always clean. And the view is amazing here. Located Right by the sound in Coppell/Irving border. Also, Sabrina, who is the manager here really takes care of everyone. It's a bonus because I know I always leave here happy lol. If you come here often, ask for the stamp card! You get $10 off purchase once the card is stamped up. :-) thank me later!

This spot has an amazing view and sitting outside on the water was great! The crawfish chowder gets 1 star for the amount and size of the crawfish in it. Because it didn't have any seasoning and all of the veggies were chopped entirety too big. The fish and shrimp were good and fresh! Loved that!!! The lake trash cake was exactly that, "TRASH!" Take it off the menu, please!!! The food came out in a timely manner and it's not overpriced.

I ordered Ubereats .The fries were not only cold but old and hard.The fish was barely warm My shrimp was old and had a funny taste. So did my fish.I will never order from here again.The only thing after spending $30 on this that was good was the key lime pie ..you can't mess up store bought pie....Also my Ubereats driver was fast so food was already bad when he picked it up ...Please do better..
