Flying Fish Taphouse

Excellent meal. Started with fried cauliflower as an appetizer. Peel and eat shrimp and crab cakes very fresh!!Fish and chips very good. Recommend all the above.

God I wish I could give more than 5 stars.. this is why I love yelp! Was in town first half of this week and came here after looking for places close to the airport. Such a gem! Great food, ambience and the service is super friendly. Both nights I went I had the peel and eat shrimp. It is sooooooooo good! The first night I had the grilled fish wrap... it was alright. The French fries this place service are amazing! Honestly just coming in here for the shrimp and French fries is enough... last night I had one of the specials.. (after the shrimp lol) I believe it was red grouper and it was also really good! As noted, exactly why I love yelp! This place is the ultimate charmer and such a good local business. Hope they continue to thrive!

When we got here we were seated right away. The host was also our waitress, she was very attentive. We ordered the shrimp appetizer that came out so fresh! The shrimp were large and you could taste the spices! They were cooked perfectly! We had a live singer and this is a pretty normal thing. He was good, name was Brad Wells. He sang older songs but of course they worked for me! I ordered the pick 3, which came out and was huge!! I ordered Shrimp, oysters, and calamari. The shrimp were also large and the flavor of the batter was great! Again cooked very well. The oysters were by far the best fried oysters that I have had. The calamari was also large but I thought they were able bit more chewy than normal, it's the only thing I was not a huge fan of.

We were here once before whet they first opened. Haven't been back just because it hasn't come up when we were in the area. It looks like they have live music most nights. A guy named Brad Wells was there tonight and really good.We started with peel and eat shrimp. They were huge, perfectly cooked and seasoned well. Iv was expecting them cold but they were piping hot. That was good too.Our food came right behind the shrimp. This was a disappointment. We felt rushed to get to our entree so it didn't get cold. This is the only reason for the 4 stars.I had the fish and chips. The fish was flaky and moist. Not many places can do that without resulting in greasy fish. It was perfect. The fries were cut like I have never seen. Think twisted steak fries. They had a great flavor as well. We will definitely be back, i just hope they can get the app/entree balance corrected.

We couldn't decide so decided to sample the salmon, fried shrimp , & burger. I would recommend all three. My complaint was the waitress Cece, who had a bit of an attitude & liked rolling her eyes. The live music was a nice addition but in between the set would have enjoyed no music.

We were staying at the Town Place Suites next door and ordered take out. We got the fried shrimp dinner with fried potato wedges and slaw. The shrimp seemed to be good quality but they were not fried crisp. The breading was a little moist. That might just be a matter of personal tastes. The decor was similar to that of most tap-houses such as Texas Road house. It's a pleasant atmosphere. For us last night, the service was lacking because they forgot the slaw and ketchup. My husband had to go back. Fortunately, it was right next door.

Hard to rate a place when you're getting takeout. Wait was short and pleasant. However, when I got back to the room they had left out the coleslaw, no condiments and no utensils. By the time I walked back over and retrieved those items my shrimp was cold. I expect that if I'd had dine in everything would have gone more smoothly.

Let's start with Betsy the bartender/server...amazing! Great service, personality, and helpfulness. She also makes the best old fashioned in the universe...make sure to take her recommendations. The oysters on the half shell were incredible, the blacked mahi was top shelf, and the shrimp and grits with crawfish tail was killer! Do yourself a favor and eat here whenever possible!

Very solid spot. Great beer, good food, cool atmosphere. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. Don't let the fact they are by the airport prevent from checking them out.

I had dinner here as it was really close to my hotel. The service was good and attentive. The recommendation was their "signature" version of shrimp and grits. It wasn't bad, but it was overly salty. Another patron at the bar down from me made a similar comment. The portion size was good. Would I get it again? Probably not. I could not tell if it was made in house or some sort of a mix for the sauce or gravy...It should be noted that they had someone playing/singing and it was quite loud. Fortunately, I had my noise canceling AirPods.
