The fried oysters, shown in the picture below, were quite interesting. However, the staff were outstanding and truly deserve five stars. I gave the restaurant 1 star because when I inquired about the oysters' origin, the owner responded with, "Why do you want to know?" When I explained my curiosity, the owner dismissively said, "East coast," and walked away. I definitely won’t be returning.

When I called to place a takeout order, the woman on the phone was very rude and rushed me constantly. When I arrived to pick up my order, the staff were yelling at each other, and not a single person smiled. In fact, when I showed up 10 minutes early and asked if I could pay and wait, I was met with attitude and scolding. While I waited, an elderly man approached the counter to look at the menu, and what I assume was the owner barked at him to "SPEAK!" The three employees were rude to every customer who came in. I couldn’t wait to leave. I’ve never experienced such terrible customer service in my life! To make matters worse, the food was awful. I ordered chicken tenders, fries, and mac and cheese—three tiny tenders, a tiny cup of mac and cheese, and a few undercooked fries. My coworkers got the fish sandwiches, which were small, and despite requesting tartar sauce, we never received any. Save yourself the trouble and dignity—do NOT visit The Fish Boat!

Both were fantastic—fresh, hot, and prepared to order. My two little ones and I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. They also served the best chips! Thank you, The Fish Boat!

The food was freshly prepared when I ordered, and the restaurant was very clean. The prices were fair, and the meal was excellent. read more The food was freshly prepared when I ordered, and the restaurant was very clean. The prices were fair, and the meal was excellent.
