Mayflower XVI Seafood Restaurant

Ordered a Philly cheesesteak & took one bite it tasted like roast beef. Told the manager & he was like I'm gonna have to charge you something. After going back and forth we agreed that he would only charge me for the unseasoned fries that I had to highly decorate with ketchup in order to just eat. Horrible customer service for a restaurant. At least offer to provide something else in the menu. Guess they are barely making it financially. Too bad because I order huge food orders for networking events for a Fortune 500 company in the area.

It was ok I wasn't impressed nor was I disappointed it was exactly as advertised in all photos. If you want fried seafood they sell it.

Excellent customer service from Mr Bobby. Our food was great. The ambiance was nice we will return soon.

Fish was fried perfectly and there was plenty of food. Just wish the batter the fish was fried in was seasoned.

Another one of my family's favorite restaurants. Have eaten here many times over the years:Pro's:- Good Food- Good Location- Nice Decor including fish tanks- Large portion sizes- I am a fan over their small fried shrimp (popcorn shrimp)Con's:- Service is a tad slow and you do not see the wait staff that often

Clean, well staffed, excellent service would highly recommend this location. Parking was great on side of building, handicap accessible was great as well. Does do take out too!

Shrimp wasn't cleaned the baby shrimps nor the jumbo shrimps. Feces all in the back of them. By them being fried it's covered up. But I peeled the batter off a couple of them Nd saw feces. Messed up my appetite wat a waste of my 38$ I will NEVER order ANYTHING else from there!!!

The food was delicious- the service was good. The decor is interesting. When I first entered I thought it was an Asian restaurant and I had entered the wrong door.

I ate at Mayflower for lunch and ordered the Tuesday All-day Special - Fried White Fish. It was exactly what I would expect for a fried fish plate. Good portions for the $10.49 price. You can order a baked potato (overcooked) instead of french fries! The hushpuppies were rings so there was lot more crispy surface to them than the nugget shape. The fish was coated in a light, thin batter, seasoned and crunchy. Some sections of fish meat were very thin, some sections were chunkier. The cooking oil tasted fresh and clean. I liked their coleslaw - barely any mayonnaise and seasoned just right. I prefer this Mayflower operation over some other places around Durham that offer fried fish plates.There was only 1 server covering the whole floor while I was eating in the dining room. He was friendly, efficient and observant.Ambience is family-casual - fine for dining alone, too low-brow for a first date. Air-conditioning was strong - afternoon temp was 94-degree outdoors in August. Not a fan of the sea-green paint on the walls, but at least the paint was in good condition.

Great food and service is always cooked just right Servers are always polite and respectful
