Here visiting from Arizona, and this came up as a must visit by locals for great seafood. The woman taking orders is quite standoffish, almost rude. She saw me come up and order with a child, and then gave me a drink with NO LID. Of course he spilled it all over the table and the floor. My bad for assuming they just didn't have any, as the place is very minimalistic. Wrong. A nice, older woman ended up sitting next to us alone, and I saw she had a lid on her drink. I asked if she had requested a lid on her drink, and she said no. The younger girl working alongside the woman at the counter ran over to clean up, and was quite understanding and very gracious. The older woman behind the counter simply stood there looking angry (her normal face?). I just don't understand why you would give a child obviously under the age of 5 a drink with no lid. The $29 lobster roll was small and good, but certainly not exceptional, and had just barely enough lobster to be filling. Thank goodness it came with fries. His $9 mac-n-cheese was a helping large enough for a grown man, and again, not exceptional for the price. I just dont understand the logic.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience here! The staff was incredibly accommodating and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was delicious — the grouper burger was absolutely amazing, cooked perfectly and full of flavor. I had the salmon with a Caesar salad, and it was very good and nicely prepared. Everything came out fresh and well-presented. We truly enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for great seafood and friendly service. We’ll be back!

It's always a joy to discover a restaurant that specializes in a couple of things and does them extremely well. Excellent, well-prepared seafood in a casual, clean environment. For some reason, Central Florida has seemed to lack a high number of casual, locally owned, well-done seafood places. This place is doing it right. It's straightforward, fresh, comes out quickly, and they must have incredible air handling equipment because the place has a fresh clean smell about it. Fried shrimp seemed a good place to start, and it did not disappoint. Perfectly light coating of a southern style cornmeal with incredibly fresh tasting butterfly shrimp underneath. Will definitely work through the rest of the menu.

First time here and glad we walked in tonight! The lobster roll was so good!! Quality lobster - flavorful and generous portion. So good. Everyone enjoyed their food - the shrimp baskets, grouper sandwich and fries. We also tried the clam chowder and it was a perfect soup thoughtfully made and full of flavor. Service was great and enjoyed meeting the chef who made our experience there great. Definitely added to the list of favorite spots!

Very nice place to eat. Friendly and very professional. Cole was very nice, he was very informative about the menu. Which made my ordering less difficult. He also was very helpful and compassionate, when I stepped outside to check on my mom. He brought my food out to me. That was so nice of him. Empathy, and kindness 💕you don't get that often in this society. Thanks everyone at the Current.

Very grateful to have this no frills seafood restaurant in my neighborhood. I've been here a few times and this is my 1st review here. It's counter service but they will bring your food to your table. Excellent choice of seafood that changes based on availability. The service is friendly & good. The restaurant has plenty of seating which is mainly high top but they also have standard tables as well. Also an outdoor patio. There is a nice selection of tap beers with a focus on NE, I was unsure and offered a sample which was a nice touch. Tonight I treated myself to a Connecticut style Lobster Roll which I had never had before. The lobster was plentiful and delicious! I highly recommend The Current if you are looking for a wide choice of fresh seafood.

We are Friday regulars. The food is consistently awesome each and every week! Lisa and Cole are the friendliest employees in town! Our favorite two items on the menu are Buffalo shrimp and blackened salmon sandwich. Be sure to give this place a try!! You won’t be disappointed!

Had my eye on The Current Seafood Counter for a little while now and finally got the chance to try them out with my husband on an impromptu whim for an 8pm dinner on a Saturday evening. Despite the later time frame I was actually surprised at how easy it was to find parking as that area of Edgewater is always Iacking but then again I'm not usually in that area on a Saturday evening either. The restaurant does mention extra parking in the rear of the building as well. When walking up, it was a nice evening so we already knew we wanted to sit outside at one of the picnic tables. They have QR codes on the tables and you can order from the table, however we chose to order inside and I was glad I did because the app said the Connecticut lobster roll was sold out but when I ordered inside they told me I got the last one. We ordered and paid and then they brought the food out to us. Service was great and they also cleaned up at the end when we attempted to clear our tray and area. The lobster roll was filled with chunks of lobster, warm with lots of butter and a lemon just the way I like it! The French fries were seasoned to perfection, not too much or too little. My husband devoured the shrimp and Mac n cheese. The one thing we split was the hush puppies and let me tell you they were perfect, hot, crunchy outside, soft in the middle with a touch of sweetness and the sauce on the side a touch of spice for balance. Truly one of the best we've ever had. Looking forward to trying so many of their other dishes in the future. Love having this new addition for seafood to our restaurant list!

5 stars for excellent service!!! The restaurant is nice and clean and they are so helpful here! Lisa was very sweet and helped me choose from all of her most popular items! I took one star off because the fish couldn't be blackened and needed more sauce on it. The buffalo shrimp was so poppable and addictive and the hush puppies, delicious! They kept coming out to clean up but I wish I had asked for a cap for my tea so I could take it to go! I can't wait to come back and try more!

This gem of a place is one you might miss if you drive to quick since it is among a row of restaurants and no real dedicated parking lot. Parking is available behind the restaurants and also street parking. There is an outside seating area upon entering the restaurant and can order at the counter or grab a table and order from there. Ordered from the Saute section - 1 DZ Middleneck Clams, Sides- Parmesan Garlic Fries and Scales - Fried Clam Strips. Everything was delish!! The Clams were steamed in a Garlic Wine Butter Sauce and served with a piece of toast The Fried Clams were pefectly fried and not greasy at all. The Clam strip basket does not come with any sides but served with fresh not packaged tartar sauce and a lemon wedge. The Parmesan Garlic Fries had the ideal amount of garlic and parmensan. All items served Hot, would definitely return. Sadly Pepsi products are present but great Coastal Cocktail special $7 everyday

Found this place on Google! We were in search of a great seafood restaurant and this place did not disappoint. We were greeted by the owner immediately and he made some awesome recommendations. As first timers, we went with his recommendations. The friend grouper sandwich, 1/2 pound of fried shrimp for the kiddo , and the Sunday Special Crab Cakes with succotash. All dishes were AMAZING! The fried grouper was light and flaky, the shrimp were lightly breaded and tenders d the crab cakes were perfect! The most surprising star of the show was the succotash. Normally, I don't like this side dish, but this was the best succotash I've ever tasted. We'll will definitely return to try the lobster roll, which was sold out and of course the grouper sandwich and crab cakes again!!

5 stars for a great meal, friendly service in a casual spot. We came for my sons birthday because he wanted a lobster roll. We all got something different so it was nice to look at a variety of things. The lobster roll was really good. My son wished he had two! My sons fiancé and son #2 had the fried shrimp roll. There was plenty of crispy shrimp. My husband got both fried shrimp and clam strips. It was a bit more than a medium amount of larger size strips. I got the fish and chips. Fish was lightly breaded and not greasy. Regular fries came with the meals and were not heavily seasoned with Old Bay. The orders of hush puppies come with 6 a piece. They are crispy, lightly breaded and has a sweet essence. It was a great 1st visit!!

Great place to catch a bite and sit outside. Food was good but didn't catch any favorites our one time there! Loved that they have a QR code that you can easily order from and they'll bring it to you, but wish it had more info about the menu or even photos!

Awesome local spot serving up some fresh seafood made to order in College Park. Also a happy sponsor of a local podcast team up of Tom and Dan. Our service today was great and super friendly. We came for a late lunch and both the indoor and outdoor seating were quiet for a Sunday lunch. Filled with blue and white umbrellas on the ceiling and multiple tvs for music, trivia, or background underwater scenes. We loved our meals today of the fried chicken sandwich made with huge breaded fried tenders a top crispy shoe string fries was tender and lightly breaded. We did order a side of their garlic fries that was delicious with lots of fresh minced garlic tossed in. I loved my light and flavorful shrimp scampi served with linguine. This was our second time coming here and are so happy we did today.

My partner and I came here for lunch on a Saturday. We sat inside and ordered from the QR code on the table. We would've preferred a physical menu to browse instead as it's a lot of clicking and going back and forth on Toast Tab. Once you know what you want, it's really easy to order though. My partner ordered the Shrimp Scampi and I ordered the Shrimp Burger. We also shared a side of Sweet Corn Hushpuppies. The scampi was delicious! The noodles were cooked perfectly, LOTS of shrimp, and the sauce was so well-balanced. Our only complaint was the serving size was a little small for a meal portion. If they a charged a little more and served a little more, I think the portion would be more on par with the burger I ordered. There is an option to double the pasta for an extra $3, so maybe we'll do that next time. The Shrimp Burger was interesting in a good way! The patty reminded me of a conch fritter, but less chewy due to the lack of conch. The texture was nice and crispy! I enjoyed the diced peppers mixed into the patty. The teriyaki slaw added a subtle sweet and savory sauce to the burger. The grilled pineapple didn't seem like it added much to the burger, but it was fine. I probably could've done without it. My burger came with Old Bay fries. I thought they were ok. I would've preferred plain fries with that burger, but I could see those fries being really good with their fried seafood baskets. I felt like the Old Bay seasoning kind of clashed with the flavor profile of the burger, which was more sweet and savory. The Sweet Corn Hushpuppies were tasty! They came with a sriracha aioli that wasn't too spicy. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I enjoyed the corn kernels in the mix. The service was good. It was a little bit of a wait for the food, but not excessive and it was worth it! An employee brought our drinks to the table once we placed our order. She came back to refill them before our food arrived. Once it arrived, she checked on us again to make sure everything was good. The ambiance is casual. The chairs are terribly uncomfortable though. Lol Their outdoor seating looks more comfortable, but it was too hot to eat outside for us. Overall, we really enjoyed The Current. Good seafood! We can't wait to come back and try other menu items.

I really liked both the food and the whole vibe of this place, so I really hope it stays in business, because there are not many places to find good, fresh seafood. It's an order-at-the-counter type, but they do bring your food to you and come by quite often to clean up and refill drinks if needed. Staff were all so friendly. There is a great selection of all different types of seafood and all different styles of cooking. They have a great selection of craft beers and wine too. I ordered the New England lobster roll with coleslaw instead of fries (they let you get any side to go with it, no upcharge). My husband got the blackened mahi sandwich with Old Bay seasoned fries. My lobster roll was perfection. Perfectly buttered toasted bun, huge chunks of fresh lobster, and just the right amount of mayo to give substance but not smother it and loose the lobster flavor. It was just a delicious bite. I only wish it were a little bigger. The coleslaw was yummy, and I loved the addition of the kale, but it was just a little too heavy on the dressing. Next time I would get the fries because that Old Bay seasoning on them was so good! I can't attest to the flavor of the blackened mahi sandwich, but my husband thoroughly enjoyed it and it looked amazing. It was pretty big too. Might have to try that next time. While lunch is a bit pricy, it's worth it for fresh seafood!

I stopped in for lunch on a Monday with a friend to celebrate her birthday. She was craving seafood, so I knew this was the place to finally try out. The restaurant is bigger inside than what I expected with large tables on both sides. You can either order from the counter or from your phone. We took our time looking at the menu online and ordered from my phone. We started with 2 Seabreeze cocktails, which are $7 every day. They were fairly strong and tasty. The sweet corn hushpuppies are a must get for the table. I loved them and the sauce paired with them. It's a great balance of sweet and tangy. For main entrees, I ordered the shrimp burger, and my friend got the soft shell crab sandwich. She had no complaints with her food. My shrimp burger was delicious. I've never had one before, and it was so good with lots of shrimp in the patty and paired amazing with the pineapple and slaw on top. Our food and drinks were good. Not bad prices when all this costs $67, including tip. My one con was that we felt a little rushed while dining in even though there were plenty tables available around us. I would dine here again.

Would love to be able to give 4.5 stars, but since there's no half stars, I rounded down to 4. I got the blackened shrimp pasta, and while it was wonderful, it just needs a little something extra and then it would get 5 stars. I also got the old bay fries, and those were perfect. The portions sizes are great, with the fries being large enough for two. The service was wonderful; pleasant and kind people who come by to check on you even though it doesn't seem to be a traditional restaurant like that since it's counter service. I absolutely loved it and will be back because I must try the lobster roll. I may try sitting outdoors because the chairs inside feel like I'm going to slide off them lol (no, I'm not a size 6, but I'm also not plus size; the seat just seems like it's too tiny and like it's trying to eject me lol). The seats aren't enough to keep me away, nor should it deter you.

Growing up in New England and having seafood at your disposal, it's great to see this place pop up. The environment was really nice. And the service was pretty speedy. I had the mussels and grouper sandwich. The fries were crispy and flavorful. I love to see a fish sandwich where you get more fish than batter. I tried my wife's salmon salad and it was also great. I will be coming back soon.

Our first time here and the service was great. We ordered and took our number to our table to the outdoor seating. Several picnic tables with umbrellas to block the setting sun. We ordered the Salmon Caesar salad with a side of their Lemon Tarragon Aioli sauce. Also the fish (haddock) and chips. We also had a glass of Cabernet $7 and a craft beer on tap. My salmon was good, but just on the border of being over cooked. The taste was really good. The fish and chips were served with seasoned thin fries on top of the two filets of fried fish. Not appetizing. The fries made the fish soggy. I think we ordered from the less popular items on the menu based on other reviews. So I'm sure there are better offerings. I hate to think our one review is true for all. It just wasn't our favorite seafood. Parking is on the street parallel close to the restaurant.

On a early Saturday afternoon strolling down Edgewater Drive we spoted The Current. My son loves him some seafood so he was 100% choosing this spot! We opted to try 2 meals so we can split them. We got the fish and chips and upgraded the fries to the garlic fries and we also got the 1/2 pound of shrimp. The fish and chips were soooooooo tasty! And the fries I had to be quick to grab some or my child would have eaten them all!! There was also a good amount of shrimp that we shared. They also have a deal of $7 drinks and I grabbed the tequila sunrise which as very well made! My child repeatedly said over and over how much he would like to go back so we will be making our way back. I saw there is a location in sanford so may check that out. The lady that took our order and refilled my childs drinks was very nice and she was the only one that I saw working up front.

After moving to Orlando, I've been on the hunt for the best lobster rolls, and THIS IS IT! The lobster rolls were so perfectly packed with chunky meat. Check out all the claw meat in all three lobster rolls. Love that each order comes with a generous amount of Old Bay fries and lemon wedges. Service was just as good as the food. You can order with a QR code if sitting outside but our waitress came out to check if we had any questions and filled up a water bowl for our pup.

It's hard getting seafood place recommendations as all the locals say they go to the coast for good seafood, however this was place was an exception and everyone I talked to agreed that it was great and I thought so too! This location is in a quaint main street area near several other establishments in the College Park neighborhood. You can either seat yourself inside or outside and order from the table on your phone or you can order inside at the counter. The menu was rather extensive, but Cole was very helpful and gave a great suggestion for a grouper sandwich which was served fresh and delicious! They also have several beers on draft which complemented the meal. The fries were seasoned with Old Bay and fresh as well! Definitely a great place to try and return!

It's a friendly place with enjoyable tables outside. Menu is robust with lots of choices. My Mom got the clam chowder and really enjoyed it. I didn't get to sample it. I ordered the fish and chips and was not pleased with it. The coating had no flavor, was "flat" with no real crunch. The fish inside was cooked but seemed a bit wet to me. The french fries were thin with no particular flavor to want them. They were just ok. I ordered my Mom the scrimp scampi but she was too full to eat it so I took it home. Today I ate half and was pleased with the flavor and seasoning. I ordered a key lime pie slice for dessert. My Mom found it OK but rich. I liked it but found the price of $8 to be really steep. Overall, it was pretty good but the total bill with no drinks and one dessert plus tip and tax was around $44. I had a bit of sticker shock since this is a causal dining place where you go up to the counter to place your order. They do bring you your food. If I could give it 3/12 stars I would but gave it 4 stars. I will give it one more try in the future.

The current is a local seafood restaurant over in the Edgewater neighborhood. They specialize in all things seafood including fish, shrimp, clam, lobster, crab you name it. Think of them as a more elevated seafood shack type of restaurant where you can sit down and eat. The staff here is amazing, all incredibly friendly and helpful. They can help you decide what to order if you're on the fence and then they are very attentive. We ordered the fried shrimp basket with old bay fries and a shrimp linguine pasta. The fried shrimp was perfect, fried to perfect and seasoned very well. The old bay fries had just the right amount of old bay to combine with the saltiness and crispiness of the fries. The shrimp linguine was our favorite. The shrimp was very good, the pasta cooked well with a light cajun sauce over it. The bottom line, this is well worth a visit if you're a seafood lover. Great relaxed environment with friendly and helpful staff well worth it.

First time in. Been on my list for a while. Very cool vibe. So far I am impressed - and I am literally the only customer here on this Wednesday at 4pm. Pleasant little spot on "The Drive" in the College Park area of Orlando. So many wonderful dining spots here as well as a cool place to hang out and browse the shops throughout the Downtown. This place fits right in with the casual, small town (like mine in NJ) vibe that is being cultivated here. Good music playing softly. Plenty of seating. Nice little outdoor seating group. Sandwiches, chilled seafood, sautéed seafood, snacks, meals, beer, wine, cocktails all in a very informal yet "upscale" environment, perhaps informed by the address. I came for the lobster roll. It was good. It was different i opted for the more traditional New England chiller variety. Solid 4 (h nice the overall rating). The chicken strips and fries were outstanding!! Definitely an add to the regular rotation.

This was a great seafood find! The Current is best described as a seafood counter....you go to the counter order your food off of the menu board and then it is brought to you at your table. This location is on Edgewater drive, so parking is a little challenging at busy times, but there is generally street parking during many normal traffic hours. Inside the place has an open and well lit environment. This is the kind of place where you can order by 1/2 lb trays. We ordered fried shrimp and clams, then added on hush puppies and fries. IT was plenty of food for 2. (We definitly brought some home). THe seafood was fresh and very tasty ...one of the better fried seafood joints that we's been to. They offer up more than just fixed seafood, but that is what we had while here. Definitely recommend trying this place out. The seafood was cooked nicely and the staff was friendly.

I was excited that they opened a location near me and decided to stop by, since I had already tried their Sanford location. The restaurant is open, nicely decorated, clean and it makes you feel welcomed. There is plenty of inside seating and some outside seating. You order at the counter and get a number to wait for your order. They also serve beer and highballs. The staff is friendly and attentive and happy to answer any questions. They checked on me to make sure my meal was good and that is a good touch. I ordered the caesar blacked salmon salad and it sure hit the spot. It was fresh, made to order, flavorful, tasty and cooked well. With so many good seafood items to choose from, it is hard to pick just one. I will definitely be back to try more things!

Let's start with the good! The fish and chips were amazing, the light batter on the fish is outstanding and the side sauces such as lemon tarragon aioli were great. Now let's move on to the not so great. My wife ordered the blackened mahi salad, the fish was outstanding but this was more of a side salad size not an entree. For $17 they could use a little bit more romaine. I felt that my fish and chips was much better priced at $18 for the portion than hers. Not necessarily the restaurants fault but the AC was broken during our visit which also made the experience a little less than desirable. I'm looking forward to going back and trying some other items when the AC is fixed

This. Is. The. Place! the food was so freshly prepared and delicious I will come back whenever I'm in Orlando every time! The service was friendly, convenient and most importantly FAST! The vibe is fast casual but the service is most certainly not that. The food was hot, fresh and plentiful. Had the fried shrimp basket, lobster roll (we will get back to this!), hush puppies, fish and chips and sweet tea (a little of everything!). The staff checked in on us despite having gotten our food and sitting outside. Offering condiments and refills on drinks. Now back to the lobster roll, I have literally never said this... there was so much lobster meat it was falling off the roll and delicious. I'm coming back just for it. Please visit and keep this place going. It's DELICIOUS!

A seafood counter on Edgewater in College Park! Thank goodness it's not another pizza joint! We had fried shrimp, fried bay scallops, fried OKRA! and a chopped salad along with shrimp linguine. Everything is delicious and fresh! I am a huge fan of fried okra and theirs did not disappoint, it was lightly breaded and fried crispy golden as were my bay scallops. We also had an order of Parmesan French fries. All delicious!! The wait staff, Jenna and cook/server CROSBY! were both very welcoming, entertaining, and made great dining suggestions! We dined on the patio but they have loads of indoor seating and they serve a variety of beers as well as wine. The vibe is casual, we walked up as we are in the neighborhood and felt very much at home! Well done Current!

10 out of 10: We heard there was a restaurant in College Park that serves lobster rolls, so we decided to come check this place out. YES, they have lobster rolls -- and so much more. We got here around 12:30, and the service was fast. The clerk was very attentive, and we got our lobster rolls within a few minutes. We sat inside, but there are covered tables outside if you want that. The price for a lobster roll is what I'd pay anywhere else, even up in Maine, and the portions were generous. What I really appreciated is that we had a REAL side included in the price (like french fries or cole slaw) instead of the more common bag of potato chips. We really liked this place, so of course we told 2 friends, who came the next day and liked it, too. Yep, we most definitely recommend The Current for lobster rolls!

First visit to The Current Seafood Counter. Food is great (clam chowder, fried clam strips, and fried shrimp), beverages amazingly inexpensive. Despite being quite busy, service was attentive and quick. Only hight-top tables were still available inside (my husband doesn't have the best mobility or balance), so we ate outside. The picnic tables are well-shaded, although fans would be a nice addition of possible. We could watch people walking or driving by. Traffic was occasionally noisy, but overall it was fine. We enjoyed our visit and will return to try more offerings.

Checked out The Current Seafood Counter for a late lunch the other day and it was a great addition to the College Park area. The inside had a cool atmosphere, it seems like a great spot to hangout at night too. It was such a beautiful day though so we sat outside on their patio. The tables outside had QR codes to order from but since it was our first time we walked up to the counter to order. We had the shrimp and cheesy grits (only served on Saturdays) and the New England lobster roll. The lobster roll, at $28, was a little pricy but it was really good! The shrimp and grits were so full of flavor and extremely filling. The service was pleasant and attentive. We didn't partake but could see that they had a decent beer list and a full bar. Excited to go back!

Very delish. 8/10. The current is a great place to get some classic seafood offerings. I love their hush puppies, fried okra, and lobster roll. It's a classic seafood counter service with someone taking your order and paying at the counter. Great to get east coast seafood from north to south.

We are always on the lookout for a tasty lobster spot, just to satisfy our Key West longing. This is the spot For Orlando, both the Maine and Connecticut lobster roll are legitimate, large pieces of lobster on buttered rolls we couldn't choose which was our favorite but with food this good it really doesn't matter. Check Facebook for current hours. The lunch queue was long and about a 40 minute wait for takeout but everyone was pleasant and it went by fast. We also got the fish and chips and hush puppies but they were just average

Excited to have a new seafood spot in college park! The Current has a great selection of options (for food, beer, and spirits), a nice elevated casual ambiance, and helpful service. We stopped in on a weekend for lunch and had no problem finding a spot - it was nice out so we were thankful they had plentiful patio seating out front. I ordered the lobster roll which was one of the pricier options on the menu at $28, and my partner went with the shrimp and grits special. The lobster roll was decent, but didn't feel like it lived up to the price tag - the lobster felt overpowered by the amount of lettuce, so I opted to remove around half of that as well. The shrimp and grits were solid, although it was over-sauced for my liking and made it difficult to taste the shrimp. Overall we had a good time and look forward to stopping back in to try more of what they have to offer.

I'm actually reluctantly writing this because we were able to get seats right away at lunch time and I don't want this place to become one of those spots that end up with long lines that I won't wait in, lol. But it was too good not to write something! This is not a fancy spot, it's a walk up and order (or use the app) kind of place that you eat food out of paper baskets. But it's great because you get really good food with ample portions at a very reasonable price! There was 3 of us, we got blackened shrimp salad, blackened mahi salad, peel and eat shrimp, fried okra and the shrimp and pepper fritters. All of which was fresh and delicious! The food came out fast, the service was friendly and we made plans to come back next time in the evening to enjoy some adult beverages. Really no complaints at all. Not a lot of decent casual seafood options around and this one is top notch!

Casual order at the counter restaurant and the food is phenomenal and fresh. I ordered the blackened shrimp linguine and the current salad ( I Didn't add any fish but I think I will next time). The other people I was with ordered the Caesar salad and the blackened mahi sandwich. They were both delicious and refreshing. The staff was friendly and answered any questions. The only thing I wish they had was a Sauvignon blanc lol but that's okay :) loved it here, will definitely be back

Delicious blackened salmon sandwich. It came with fries with old bay seasoning. Good value and friendly service. Fast casual set up!

Exploration Notes: We ordered through a QR code, so there was almost zero interaction--except when they dropped off our drinks. Service felt distant, and we missed that personal touch. Speaking of drinks... they hit like a college Thursday night. Strong, but in that cheap, heavy-pour kind of way. Maybe fun back in the day, but now? Not it. They didn't have the linguine with white clam sauce I was craving, so I went with the Soft Shell Crab Sandwich. Not my thing. The Lobster Roll was decent but not $30-decent. I've had better for less. The Blackened Mahi Current Salad? That was actually solid--a win! Hushpuppies were bomb. Crispy, hot, and totally addictive. Exploravour Score (1-5): Ambiance - 2/5 (Casual but lacked any real vibe. Felt more like a quick stop than an experience.) ‍ Service - 3/5 (Basic and distant. No complaints, but nothing stood out.) Food - 3/5 (Some hits, some misses. Mahi salad and hushpuppies saved the day.) Drinks - 2/5 (Strong for the sake of strong. Missing finesse.) Value for Money - 3/5 (Price point didn't match the quality. $30 for a lobster roll that didn't wow? Meh.) Guest Experience - 2/5 (Forgettable. We left feeling... uninspired.)

While visiting my favorite plant shop on Edgewater Drive, I decided to look up places to eat and found this gem across the street! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted so warmly by the employees. I asked about their favorite items and was given some really helpful recommendations - but I had my eye set on fish and chips. They offered me water, even though I was taking my food to go. I did wait a while for the food, which means it was truly fresh! I couldn't wait to get home, so I started eating in my car lol and omg this food was so delicious!!! I'm definitely a fan and will be returning with my family. There are plenty of tables and space to sit inside and they have a covered patio with tables and chairs. It's slowly getting cooler here, so outdoor seating will be really nice!

Ah, The Current, the place where seafood dreams may come true. We kicked off our meal with the fried grouper sandwich, which was so good I thought it swam to the table. The lobster roll, let's just say it was so divine it might have been made by aqua man himself. The corn hush puppies were little golden nuggets of joy. I'm convinced they sprinkled a bit of "magic" in the batter. The fried scallops were decent, but let's be honest, they are the shy cousins at the seafood family reunion. The shrimp tri pepper fritters were crispy, flavorful, and delicious. As for the current salad, it was fresh, vibrant, and made me feel slightly better about all the fried goodness I was consuming. The atmosphere was cool, the kind of place where you could probably get away with wearing flip-flops. The service was friendly, attentive, and fast. Portion sizes were good Overall, The Current is a good spot for seafood lovers who appreciate a good lunch, Definitely worth a visit. You stay classy Orlando!

Husband told me he saw a new seafood place in the area, and boy have we been missing some decently priced, fresh seafood in this neck of the woods--ever since WP fish co. Tanked . So, accepting the fact that we just won't be getting anything to eat for less than $15 an entree ever again...I was very happy we tried it out. I had blackened mahi on current salad. I LOVE a shredded crunchy salad and some well-cooked fish. Can't miss! Daughter scarfed her lil fried shrimp. Husband's current salad with shrimp had huge shrimp. Of course getting casual drinks for $7 and under is ALSO such a relief. Lately I've just been skipping the beer when going out cuz it doubles the bill! I can handle this . I hope they can sustain this model. Casual fare done very well. We've missed this in winter park! Also, their next door neighbors are tamale co. Who we loved im Conway. Glad Edgewater is reviving

Love that Orlando finally has a good seafood quick serve restaurant. It's super cute and clean inside with plenty of seating. And outdoor seating as well. Had the New England lobster roll and it was great. Fries are thin and crispy with old bay seasoning. Go and support this business.

A friend and I had lunch here on a work day. $18 for a mahi Caesar salad. My friend and I both enjoyed but did not feel it was worth $18. We shared the Parmesan fries which if memory serves me right was $10. I would also say this was overpriced. It did come with fresh garlic but it was pretty generic and the bottom of the fry tray was swimming in oil. We were both eyeing the lobster roll but at $29 per roll, we both opted out. The staff was friendly and nice. The place is cute. Will I come back? Sadly, probably not.

The food was pretty good, though I felt the portions were small compared to the price. I am still inclined to leave a five star review though since there are not many options for good, casual seafood in Central Florida without driving to the coast. We had the CT lobster roll, blackened shrimp, and soft shell crab sandwich. You have the option to order at the counter or sit down and order off a QR code. We were annoyingly prompted to leave a tip even though it is not a serviced based establishment.

Someone called this a hidden Gem. This is definably a PEARL. Very clean, the staff was great, and the food was excellent. I'm from Jacksonville and finding this place was well worth it. Next time I'm in College Park Orlando I will be back for a great meal.

The blackened shrimp linguine was very flavorful and perfectly prepared. It didn't need any additional seasoning and is a great combo of flavors and textures. The person who took my order was polite and cheerful. Overall, a fabulous experience. I will be back!
