Mayflower Seafood Restaurant

I really hoped that the experience would better than the 2.5 stars. The positives first, the salad was fresh, crispy and the ranch was very tasty with great consistency. The salmon was very flavorful. Parking was plentiful. Now, the not so positive, ordering was a negotiation. The website doesn't reflect the current menu. My dinner partner ordered a beer which is no longer on the menu. I ordered the broiled tuna steak dinner which was clearly on the menu. The server returned after turning in the order to report "tuna is no longer on the menu" so I ask if they had broiled salmon and the server went to check. By the time the main course arrive I completely forgot pictures. I felt emphatic towards the server who appeared to be new and also frustrated to not be able to simply serve the customer what they chose from the menu. The dining room was clean, quiet and the staff was friendly.

Terrible service, terrible food, dirty bathrooms, dirty entryway, dirty dining roomSpoke with the manager after staying there almost two hours for lunch! There were 7 people in the dining room. We had to wait over 45 minutes for our food. The fish was dry (broiled catfish), the chicken was burnt (grilled chicken alfredo) and the cheese sauce was swimming in grease! Terrible overall experience! All the manager said was "yes ma"ma'am" when I brought these issues to her attention.

Whenever I come down with family we usually have one of our family meals at Mayflower in Rocky Mount. On our way out of town my father saw the Mayflower sign and had a full on tantrum so I stopped. FYI: Carry-out is on the side of the building. We drove around and my Dad placed his order. I am still confused as to the difference in quantity between a fish sandwich and fish dinner but he did not want me to ask. The food came out in about 20 minutes or so. We ordered the flounder dinner with fried okra and hush puppies. My Dad said it was delicious. In fact, I saw him stop eating, take a break and then go back to it. It was honestly his best meal of the trip so I'm grateful.

Food was amazing! Server was also amazing. Me and my husband drove three in a half hours to eat here on our anniversary! I will be back soon

Seeing 2.5 stars... I was super worried to visit. I have a friend whose mom used to take him to Mayflower all the time. He said we should all good (it's about an hour drive). We joked with him the entire time that the food was going to be terrible because it was 2.5 stars on Yelp. Well, to my surprise... pretty much everything was good. Server was very attentive. We had the bloomin onion to start. Meal wise... I had the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and broccoli. Not amazing but average Alfredo. My boyfriend had the croaker which he said was on point. Had fried okras and hushpuppies and liked it all. The others with us had the flounder Sunday special. Portions were big. Overall, pretty solid place. Building is older so decor isn't up to par.. but not a big deal. Biggest issue I had (which is small) is that Pepsi tasted weird lol.

We came in pretty late, like an hour before closing. They accommodated us and weren't rude. I only ended up getting a loaded baked potato, and it was delish. I asked for my chives on the side, which they didn't do. I wasn't even mad about it!! It was perfectly proportioned. My friend got a salad, and scallops. (First ordered tuna, and they were out of it. ) she enjoyed her food but regretted getting the salad instead of a side, as it didn't have any toppings on it. My other friend got some fried fish, and popcorn shrimp platter with some onion rings. I thought the fish was very good, but she thought it was too much batter. I won't lie her popcorn shrimp reminded me of something from captain D's or a bag of microwaveable popcorn shrimp. Service was friendly, but for the price you pay, I would say you would think your getting something from a high end restaurant. No issue with parking or seats, as there were only about 3 tables occupied.

Celebrating a retirement large party with beautiful people. Order the fried fish. The waitress was overwhelmed with the large party even though the size was confirmed prior to the date. The waitress kept up good spirits as we waited an hour and half for about 30 folks to be fed.

I ordered two plates of baby shrimp. I've done this many times and they have been great. Not this time . All the shrimp was cut up in tiny pieces. There wasn't one whole baby shrimp in the whole plate . Was very unsatisfied. Will think twice before ordering againNancy Jones

Nothing for celiacs - lovely people, though! I got sick from eating here...will not return, but it's a local favorite and a fine restaurant. Very kind service.

I was traveling on Aug 3rd and wanted to pick up some fish to surprise my family. I stopped at the Mayflower as I have done so many times in the past and ordered three whiting fish dinners. I was on the way and it was about fifteen miles in my trip when I noticed a particular pungent odor in my car. It was a strong ammonia smell, the smell of rotten fish. I wanted to take the fish back but didn't want to lose the time on the trip by backtracking, so I continued on my way thinking this incident had to be intentional because any cook knows when fish is rotten. I threw away $40 worth of food because it smelled of death and decay. Needless to say, I will never stop there again.
