Fish Place

Really wanted to like this place but it fell flat. Menu has a lot of seemingly good options at a reasonable price. We ordered to go and it was a fast and efficient process and packaged nicely. The food was just not that good. Note, they charge a "To-Go surcharge" PER entree which is not indicated on their menu or disclosed by the server when placing an order. Ordered the blackened catfish, rice and beans, coleslaw, fried catfish, dirty rice and Mac and cheese. Both entrees came with a sad looking garlic bread slice each. The blackened catfish was a heft size filet but tasted terrible, not blackened, mushy and not fresh. Coleslaw was just Mayo and slaw, couldn't finish it. The red beans and rice was pretty flavorful but the rice was undercooked. Dirty rice was also "okay" but a little too greasy.

I love this place! I sure can't explain a couple old reviews that really suck. But I've been going back and taking my friends for months now, and can't believe how many things on that menu are absolutely delicious, at a bargain price and FAST to the table. For instance, go figure how a little fish joint would have maybe the best onion rings and hamburger combo in Texas. They serve the only house salad I affirmatively look forward to cuz of its GREAT blue cheese dressing and it's always fresh and crisp. Their wide selection of seafood dishes is all way better than good. In fairness, there's two kinds of fried catfish - the flat and even thickness for uniform fry, and the thicker getting thinner toward the tail with more crunch and juicy insides. I vastly prefer the latter if good, but they sell the other. It's still very good fried catfish, even for those who do not prefer the flat for even cooking. Aside from seeing their long time customers in there, they do a big carry out business for clearly hard working, working folks coming thru for their take outs. No possible way it could be as good by the time you get it home ( a lot like a pizza ) but a workin' man or woman's gotta do what's necessary for the family. Also, they don't have a liquor license so a Margarita is wine based - so despite the big selection, skip it if you want yer tequila, but the cokes and beer are ice cold. And the great waitstaff (Gabe,Gabby, Iridium, and Leo - and yeah, I've gotten to know a few of them) is always fast, friendly and attentive and never a hiccup in a dozen times there. The even better news is that the owner Lilly just opened another location on Highway 6 in Santa Fe, and I just walked out with a $16 bill for my wife and I (on a diet) sharing those stunning onion rings, that salad I just bragged about, a coke and a water, AND THE BEST, BIG, JUICY, "STORE-BOUGHT- SQUIRT-ON YOUR-TIE-WHEN-YOU-BITE INTO-IT" LOADED DOUBLE MEAT HAMBURGER I'VE HAD IN 40 YEARS SINCE THE OLD ABBOTT SCHOOL HOUSE JUST OUTSIDE DOWNTOWN HOUSTON! Joseu was their cook and he's a keeper. Now, I'll write something for the bright, shiny new place in Santa Fe that sits right on my way home from fishing trips! I love seeing the small businessman out there "kicking' A.... for the customers. Go Lilly!

Food was ok bland but sufficient to stop my seafood craving. Bread was ok fries were mushy but i liked the coleslaw and tarter sauce and they gave me a hefty amount of them both. Service was average. The inside eat i did not do I utilized there drive thru window. I say its just average food. Definitely not like the la marque fish place. La marque fishplace blows Dickinson away!

Locals raves about this place. Wasn't that bad ! Waitress was sweet. Definitely a mom and pop vibe !

We were looking for a place to pick up a Good Friday Fish Fry for dinner nearby. The service was quick and food was warm when we got it home. I had the 6 pc fried shrimp and my husband had the 6 pc fried catfish. Both came with your choice of 2 sides. We had mashed potatoes, coleslaw, onion rings and potato salad. Every thing was pretty good. Price was right. We will definitely go there again.

the fried catfish was the best!!! Lisa and Keysha were both amazing! Gotta try the boudin balls, they're excellent as well!

I hadn't been in for about 6 years and it is just as I remember. Service was excellent even said good bye and thank you.

ZERO TASTE... ZERO Seasoning PERIOD!!!! I ordered the Fried Catfish & cole slaw plate with fries ($16.99) and I added 5 Fried Shrimp ($7.99). My 11 yr old son ordered Fried Shrimp with fries & mashed potatoes side ($11.99). The catfish fillets were big and looked very tasty, but tasted like tofu and so did the flat shrimp with soggy fries. These knuckleheads even charged me $1.48 for using a credit card. Also, while waiting for my to-go order, I witnessed an older couple complaining to the waiter about their bill. I was VERY DISAPPOINTED. I'm not saying "DON'T GO THERE", but if you're looking for a great fish-spot to waste $41.50 and spend the rest of your day "P-O'ed" please visit The Fish Place in Dickinson.

It its the only one in texas city well I think the quality is poor, very poor. The fish is fried good but it's the Korean fish which to me is bad cheap in quality and texture. I got a rotten potato two time here but the steak was one of the best I've had. The ordering area is trashy looking makes me think twice about ever eating anything from there its like a hole in the wall restaurant you no hoodie

The server was nice, but the food was over-priced and not enjoyable at all. Wouldn't recommend at all.
