Mayflower

I love Mayflower Seafood and have eaten at almost every site in Wake, Johnston and Wake counties. My experience at this one was just okay. This wasn't really the fault of our server, who was extremely nice to us, although our order did get botched. I was afraid that might happen when she didn't write it down. She was attentive and gave good recommendations (including that the flounder wasn't particularly good that night), so I give her points. She was the best part of our experience. My husband had the broiled shrimp and said it was very good. Our roommate had fried shrimp. I ordered fried oysters and fried catfish, but got fried catfish and fried shrimp instead. Our server apologized and brought me a small bowl with some oysters, and only charged me for the shrimp and catfish. The oysters were absolutely delicious - I just wish I'd gotten a full order of them. The shrimp were also excellent, if only I'd really wanted shrimp. My share of the french fries was a smaller portion than I get at other Mayflowers. My sweet tea wasn't good at all! It tasted more like tra sweetened with Stevia or Sweet N' Low than sugar. Sweet Tea in the south is not Diet Sweetener Tea. I hope this was just because we came in later in the evening. I admit to being picky about my tea!Restaurant itself was typical of the Mayflowers and clean. We'll go back and I hope that I get a full order of oysters that are as good as the sample I got this time.

Note to self: When you see a empty parking lot and no customers inside RUN! This was my first and last time going to Mayflower. The good news is our server was amazing and she should seek employment elsewhere. The interior looks nice and has a good aroma. It was 3 people with me and nobody was happy with their meal. The food looks good but nothing had seasoning. The flounder had scales on it. The shrimp was double breaded to make it look jumbo. The Ice Tea was nasty. The only good part of my meal was the French fries. The waitress did apologize and take one meal off the bill. I heard this place use to be good several years ago but they really need to file bankruptcy and stop wasting people time.

Now this right here show will have your stomach tore slam up. It will have you praying to god for forgiveness because my stomach just was tore up from the floor up. Food isn't really what people hyped it up to be

If u wanna lose some weight come here , cause yo ass gone b on da toilet, they food is very average, nothing special.

They jacked up the price and reduced what they have for sides. they were rude on the phone.. don't waste your time or money

Went here for my monthly seafood fix since I can't have crustaceans at home due to allergies. Walked in to a nice nautical themed dining area that wasn't too busy. Sat at the table and had to wait maybe 10 minutes for a waiter but that was excusable because, like every other restaurant, they were short staffed. Put in my order of the shrimp platter special. Included about 6 jumbo shrimp, a bowl of boiled shrimp and of course the popcorn shrimp.Waiter brought my order and after the first bite I knew the cook was not a seasoning person. The boiled shrimp were, well, boiled, the jumbo shrimp were breaded and fried as were the popcorn shrimp with not even a hint of seasoning at all. They were cooked ok just flavorless. I got a take out box and the shrimp I brought home are going to get seasoned to make them edible.The hush puppies had good flavor especially with the imitation butter spread and the cole slaw was creamy the way I like it. All in all a nice little jaunt for me that got me out of the house.I would recommend this restaurant with the advice that when you get your seafood, grab the salt and pepper.Staff is very friendly and the place is old but clean.

The food was okay, waiter was nice, however the pricing on menu is not what you pay, you pay much more. After bringing this to the attention of cashier, maybe manager? They said sorry but never offered to make it right, even though I said they should.I will not be back and suggest everyone that does, make sure they do their own math before paying.

Tried Mayflower today for the first time. Order the Monday special - fried trout and popcorn shrimp. Shrimp was delicious but the trout was HORRIBLE!! I couldn't even force myself to eat it. Thankfully the shrimp completely made up for it along with the baked potato. Quick note for first timers wanting takeout... use side red door on the Sonic side. Had to walk around and didn't see any signage.

How does a seafood restaurant give a pick up order 8 tartar sauces and NO cocktail sauce? The thing that really does it is my house doesn't use tartar sauce and we asked for cocktail sauce. This is why I don't eat here more than every 3-6 months!! Might be a year or more now!!!!

One of the most UNprofessional places I've been to and a very long time! I have order the same meal 3 times in a row and all 3 time my price have been differen! if you order a togo plate get ready to have an extra .50 added to your price for the takeout box your meal comes in... when ordering a family pack you will have an extra 2.00 added if you would like to have your fish salt and peppered! I'm done with this place and if I come in contact with someone that's thinking of going there I will definitely steer them in another direction!!!
