TrySeafood Cary

Shame on us for taking so long to try Try, cause this is a seafood lover's dream! Two of us tried them out on Monday for an early lunch. They open at 11, which was perfect for us. Very small inside, but there are a few tables and a counter area for seating. Very clean. Very friendly. We were told we could sit anywhere. Table, which already looked clean, was wiped down again for us. Love their menu. Love that they have such a variety of ways to enjoy seafood. Not just the same old calabash style. Not just fried. They did have some under ten dollar lunch specials, but you can order off the regular menu as well, which is what we did. Blackened Catfish for me with collards. Fried shrimp and scallops for Husband with chile sauce and Onion rings.The fried food came out first and you could actually see that it was well seasoned. They are not afraid of spices here, which we couldn't appreciate more. The onion rings came with a tangy dipping sauce. Tastes of his kept me going until my beautiful catfish and collards arrived. Served with lemon and melted butter. Definitely some of the best of both that I've ever had! Very generous portions (took plenty home). Do know that the collards are called spicy for a reason. Very spicy! Very yummy! I also loved my unsweetened tea. (She even sent me home with a to-go cup). If I could ding 'em on anything it would be that they don't make their own tartar sauce (they have little packets of them), but even those were good quality, so it's an unworthy nitpick. You can tell there's a lot of pride and hard work that goes on here and I can't wait to go back. There are so many things on the menu I want to try.Watch out, they are closed on Tuesdays!

I tried this place near by yesterday. It was very tasty but just a lil too salty. The greens tasted like an entire salt bomb though but had good flavors and spicy, i didnt need to add any texas pete. The fish was amazinggggg both the grilled blackened and the fried. The shrimp fried rice was also very good but it tasted like it was cooked with a lot of soy sauce. I would definitely return but would skip the sides and try different options. Wish the tarter sauces packets would kept cold but the inside is nice and clean, a bit small but overall a solid stop for lunch and a takeout for dinner kind of spot. Service was good as well, very nice and helpful people at the front

Their catfish is also very good, and their hush puppies are fantastic! Service is always good here.

Lovely service & great food. I dined in on a Sunday afternoon and will definitely be back. The shrimp basket was delicious and a hearty serving with well seasoned fries. The interior is clean and has a few tables to enjoy your food as well as an outdoor seating table. The service was excellent, the woman taking my order was so kind and another member of the staff (maybe the owner/manager/shift lead) was welcoming and even brought out some sauces he thought I would like (I did!!). Overall great experience. Two people next to me ordered that rasta pasta and it smelled AMAZING! Ill be trying that next time. See you then!!

10/10 Everything we tried was delicious. Like seriously cooked to protection! Even the side items were rockstars. The fried and blackened catfish were both amazing. The collards has to be from grandmas kitchen and I was so glad it had Turkey instead of pork (thank you)! And the seafood rice had lots of flavor. My fiancé didn't love the Rasta pasta but that's okay because I had lunch work the next day. Would highly recommend and will definitely return. The inside as very clean and I love the bright colors and cute decor on the walls. The owners were super sweet and very patient with me & They gave great suggestions for my next visit. Another customer was waiting with me and told me the food is consistently good!

Food was fresh and delicious. Service was slow. Limited seating is crowded. Owner is very nice. I hope they can expand soon. Go support!

On April 8th we tried TrySeafood Cary. We are from North Raleigh but it was listed as one of the top 8 Cary restaurants by the Axios Raleigh newsletter. Its a bit of a drive from North Raleigh but the crossroads mall area where they are was quite accessible. Actually after you get off the exit its down just beyond at the intersection of Tryon and Holly Springs Roads so not so crazy as crossroads proper. The strip mall is quite accessible and very easy to park right in front which was great. This is another in the series of great family restaurants we are finding. Like the others, there is a strong focus on seasoning and flavors. This seems to be a distinguishing characteristic of small family place vs non family restaurants. As soon as we walked in the husband was there to greet us and explain everything. He was excited about what his wife was cooking and make it so welcoming. I quickly settled on the grilled blackened catfish with mixed vegetables. My wife got the 3 piece whiting with fries as well as the 3 fried oysters. $46+taxes and tip. Excellent flavor and such a welcoming environment. Well worth the drive which honestly was not that bad.

This place was a great Yelp find. The service was good for a small restaurant as this. The food was amazing! We had fish, shrimp, chicken wings (sweet chili flavored were my fave) the collard greens were seasoned perfectly, shrimp rice with veggies was too spicy for me but the flavor was good, and last but certainly not least that BANANA PUDDING! Get the banana pudding for sure, not too many cookies, not too many bananas, the pudding was fluffy but firm, I think I tasted nutmeg or something to make the flavor pop! This place is definitely 10 out of 10

Went around lunch time Saturday drove an hour from a recommendation it was worth the drive. The owner took care of us very friendly and made sure we were comfortable and took great care of us. I will definitely be back everything I tried was delicious down to the hush puppies and lemonade.

The environment was solid and very welcoming. The service was at an adequate speed and time. I wish the seats were a little farther apart. The crab poppers are very good and solid price. The quesadillas were a little too cheesy for me. I couldn't enjoy the salmon and onions and peppers as much as I would like. Also the fries could have been in some type of seasoning. This is a solid place to check out and worth a look.
