I agree j-6: The owners of The Grill and Fish City have gotten a little tired with the whole enterprise & would rather be somewhere else — unlike the opening few months of Fish City, the owners are now MIA ie., missing in action. And yes, during off hours the staff is limited & more interested in taking naps in a nearby booth or playing grabass…

I finally convinced my dear wife to try Fish City again after a dismal meal here a year ago. The restaurant is clean and bright although a bit noisy. Our waitress was nice enough but it was clear she would rather be doing something else. I believe she thought it was more important for her to have a gabfest with her co-workers than to serve us. With only 8-10 tables with customers, I would expect a bit better service. The menu was adequate, prices on the expensive side. I wanted to try the happy hour drink special but was informed happy hour is only for weekdays, not Sunday evening. Why have a sign urging me to imbibe from 5-7 pm if you won’t honor it?
We tried the fried pickles for an appetizer, They were served with Ranch dressing and very good. My meal was a full order of fish tacos. There were four well prepared tacos of fish and cabbage with cheese wrapped in a flour tortilla and browned on the grill. One taco had very little fish in it but the other were generous. My wife’s fish and chips were good with deep fried cod in a thick batter. The fish was good but something was a bit off, possibly the thick batter or frying temperature. The fish was really heavy and somewhat greasy. Still, there was ample food for a take home plate and lunch the next day.
Overall Fish City was adequate. A good manager should train the staff how to be attentive without being overbearing and how not to ignore the customers. The food was good, not great. I doubt I will be rushing back to Fish City but I did not scratch it off of my list, yet.

Each and every time I have been in the service was way below par and the food is either wrong or undercooked. I wanted so badly for it to be my new favorite but I was let down every time! They are in terrible need of new management in the kitchen and on the floor!

Newsflash: the tortilla in a fish taco needs warming-up prior to serving!

Why the crappy fifties music? I’m from that era & don’t care to listen to it in the year 2011!

I am a fan of the fish tacos & I wish, wish, wish they would bring back the fish and chips! That was the most delicious thing ever.

I tried the seafood there, I and the person I was with were not impressed with taste or the PRICE! I think I will continue to cook my own seafood at the house. Cheaper, easier and BETTER!

Had lunch yesterday with husband. Our first time at FCG and we enjoyed it very much. He enjoyed the crab-stuffed shrimp and I had the Crab legs. Wow, what a meal, so meaty, fresh and filling. The peach tea was very good too. We’ll be back for more. I’d like to try the crabcakes next time. The Red Lobster has been deleted from our list of seafood restaurants. Finely we have found the one!!

I think the seafood was way over priced for what you get. My seafood at home is far better, that includes the Mexican Oysters. But my main complaint is, as we asked to see if they were highering cooks, his reply was “Does they speak Mexican?, because back there in our kitchen its a whole different world.”
As our food arrived, I had no forks or knives, so I asked an employee that was standing by our booth if she could get utencils for us. She (mexican) didn’t know ENGLISH!!! She had to get our waiter to help. We won’t be back nor will ALL the other people I have told this to. The management should not higher illegals or people that don’t know English!

I’ve been there many times and find it sorely lacking. The only thing on the menu that I enjoy is the Cream of Roasted Jalapeño soup. This soup is delicious and not something I can get anywhere else. But other than that…I’m not that impressed. I’ve tried many different things on the menu and from the specials and I just can’t find anything that is “wonderful” like people claim. Oh well…to each his own.
