Mayflower Seafood Restaurant

Mayflower was a common restaurant I visited growing up but haven't been in probably 8-10 years. Last time I went I remember being disappointed and underwhelmed. Today was different! There were 6 of us for Sunday lunch--which I know is crazy busy especially in a town without a lot of Sunday lunch options. We ordered onion rings to start. It was obvious that these were not fake frozen onion rings from a bag but instead were made from scratch. The ranch dressing for dipping was great too! One of us ordered the chicken special, it came with a salad and side. The salad was crisp, the side of okra was good. The chicken was incredibly juicy, tender, and fell off the bone. I had the senior shrimp plate with a sweet potato. I am not a senior but honestly glad I got it because I didn't even eat half. The plate was loaded down. The shrimp was well breaded, hot, and crispy. The sweet potato was huge and hot. My daughter got a sweet potato as well with her chicken tenders and it was also huge. The others at our table got catfish and flounder. There were no complaints about the food! The service was lacking, however. I understand Sundays are nuts but I had to ask each time I needed a refill of water, as did my husband for his soda. We also had to ask for butter and tartar sauce for our food.

When I visit Asheboro, I love to get Mayflowers. Take out is separated from the dine in area. As always, I took my food to go but this time a little different. I took the food home to High Point. I was impressed to find it still warm once I got home. I don't have any problem with it being cold knowing the time it took to travel from one city to another. I ordered my usual for takeout seafood, 3 combination with coleslaw and baked potato. Nothing spectacular about it, it's just good. Flaky trout, plump popcorn shrimp, crispy chicken tenders, all good and satisfying.

I'm going to be petty because this made me upset and I want some opinions on this ordeal. I was told at The mayflower in asheboro nc that I could not have my stroller because it was considered a fire hazard but this was in the way right after I moved my stroller, in the exact spot. Make it make sense.On top of this issue, the food was nasty, and manager was a rude person to deal with. We had a large party and was not informed about the tip being added into the total amount but we all chipped in the end and gave our waitress $71 cash after she automatically got $50 dollars from our church card. she deserved all the money because she was wonderful to deal with. BUT the manager insisted on getting the cash back from her because 1) she didn't inform our party of the added tip 2) she didn't think she needed THAT much tip. Honey.. please. We gave that money right back to her. Bad foodUnfair management Crummy customer service

We came here for a birthday party and reserved the private back room. The prices are super fair. Friendly staff and service. The hush puppies are absolutely delicious! I ordered the flounder with a baked potato. The flounder portion was huge. I was only able to eat two of the three pieces.

Waited 30 minutes for our food. Most of it was cool and baked potatoes wouldn't melt the butter. Fish was greasy and taste like it was cooked in old grease. Not a happier camper Doubt we will be back

I wanted to try a different place.So I was by myself and knew I would not have to argue with a soul on where to go.I chose Mayflower Seafood in Ashboro.Now Mayflower is located in the lower part of town heading towards Randleman.I get there at 7:50 finding out they close at 8:00.I was told to come on in I had time to get some food.I was quickly seated and my waitress took my drink order a food order.I chose a 3 way.Shrimp,oysters and a deviled crab.My plate came out quickly.I as hoping for a bowl of hush puppies like a few places do but I guess they don't without an order.My food was hot.I was not crazy about their cocktail sauce.But the tarter was spot on.My waitress never let my tea glass go empty.I did have to get a togo box for my leftovers.My dog sitting in the backseat approved the fries a few shrimp I gave her.My service was good.My food was okay.

After seating down in the restaurant I looked down to see a piece of fish laying on the floor. I placed an order for a small trout with French fries. I received a senior citizen plate of 1 trout filet with fries. A small plate would consist of 2 pieces of fish. The trout filet I received was overcooked and hard. When I tried to pick it up some of the batter started flying off so I could see how hard the fish was under the batter. Once I saw that I knew I was not eating they. So I proceeded to eat hard fries and 2 hushpuppies. The waitress came and asked how is everything I said good because if I complain about the fish I probably would receive a worse piece. My fish was so hard that the fish on the floor looked better then mine on the plate.

It was my first time here I showed up at 3:20 pm and no one was here we came I side just at the right time I'm guessing.The food was amazing had great baby flounder and scallops and my wife had baby flounder as well both were super nice and feeling. The only downside was that the staff and waitress were not wearing which is not good and if there in your personal bubble they need to wear a mask.

I had the flounder and it was delicious! They also have homemade cakes. We got a slice of carrot cake to go which was delicious! My husband loves their popcorn shrimp!

First time there, Hostess and check out were very friendly. Waitress not the nicest person, seemed like she was put out having to take orders and answer questions. Food was plentiful, not always a good sign in my opinion , tasteless , everyone kept putting salt on trying to get some flavor. No butter available only a petroleum blend package on table , when we asked she said that's all they have. I would not recommend, fast food options in the area would be better.
