220 Seafood

This is and always be my go to spot at least 4-5 times a month. My teenage is like Ma you always want to go there it doesn't stop him from driving me there.

Went today, Sat., 8/30 @ 2 p.m. it was closed! Why? Did they post hours? Nothing left to say.

Hubby & I love this area seafood earthy- a fixture in the community for decades- serving southern seafood- trout flounder popcorn & jumbo shrimp - oysters - & more -this place stays busy to say the least - there's an enclosed shelter to help waiting lines of people from the elements- also security to assist with free ample parking. I had the 220 trout special- a huge fried trout baked potato and a small fresh salad- served fresh hot - crispy. Hubby had a 2 combo with trout & popcorn shrimp- equally delicious - with slaw & baked potato- Our server "Wendy" was fantastic- courteous friendly & efficient- older vintage fishermen decor- very unique. This is not a fancy place- but a family style restaurant with excellent seafood & service. Take out available. Located quite close to a Interstate I 85 North in Henderson NC- a great place to get fried or broiled seafood with reasonable prices.

Ooo-wee!! What an amazing dinner we just had. We're headed back to DC after a trip to NC. A friend had recommended 220 Seafood and we were feeling pretty adventurous. The line was out the door but heck we were already in the parking lot and quite hungry so, in the line we go.A quick view of the menu and I knew I was going for the trout dinner. A perfect serving of trout, a baked potato and coleslaw slaw and hush puppies all for the low price of...wait for it...$6.25!!! The fish had a great batter, and it was fried to perfection. The baked potato was almost creamy, the steam coming off it with a pinch of the foil, and the coleslaw was delightful with bits of relish, nice and crunchy, hmm. The only thing that could have made it any better was a good ole mason jar of freshly brewed sweet tea...and they had that too! It actually tasted like tea and not that fake version I'm never happy to taste. I may have taken a few jumbo shrimp from my husband's plate. Plump and juicy with THE BEST cocktail sauce. My only wish was that we lived closer. Have no fear though; we will return!

I had a quick work trip to Henderson, NC and wanted to dine at a local favorite. One of my college friends recommend 220. The parking lot was packed when I arrived so that made me excited to see what the hype was all about. It's a typical NC seafood restaurant with no flair or distracting decor. You come here for the food, to run into old friends and family, and to get a feel for the community.My table for one was promptly greeted by my friendly waitress. I explained it was my first time so she walked me through the menu. I usually drink water when I eat, but today called for a sweet tea. It was definitely sweet tea, with plenty of ice and sugar. But it was not too sweet where it is thick like syrup or over brewed. It was perfect.I ordered a combo of fried flounder and popcorn shrimp. She brought me coleslaw and hush puppies to nibble on while I waited for my entree. The hush puppies were golden brown fried goodness with a hint of sweetness. My entree was fried hard (or extra crunchy) with plenty of Texas Pete (the only hot sauce that really matters), cocktail, and tarter on the side. The fish was a bit under seasoned for me. I am a VA girl and we sprinkle a little old bay on everything... lol. It was piping hot and cooked just the way I ordered.The next time I'm in Henderson I will stop in again and try another type of fish. The table beside me ordered the trout and it looked really tempting. And if you have non-seafood eaters in your party don't worry they have them covered too.

People come for many miles for 220's southern seafood. Weekends always have a long line waiting to get a table. Many people call in takeout orders. The place is clean, but slightly shabby, as it has been for many years. Service is good and fast or slightly uncertain, depending on the experience of the server. Like other restaurants, they are understaffed. The menu is heavy on the fried seafood, but other options are available. The prices are very reasonable and the food is great. Highly recommended!

I will recommend 220 to give me a nice portion of fish when you order it and the price is always right you will never be disappointed

The food is good and the staff is friendly. It's a hometown favorite. However, the bathrooms are horrible. Hopefully they'll decide to update them sometime soon.

The fish is always cooked to perfection and very cordial service. The atmosphere is comfortable and warm.

The service was wonderful! We split "the ship"-choice of 5 items - & dessert- it was a huge amount of food- we had plenty of leftovers for later.
