The Fish Market Restaurant

Wow! What a remodeling. It's been nearly a decade since I stopped in and they've finally gotten rid of the cafeteria style ordering/line. It's now your standard restaurant seating previously a free for all with a main bar. We were running late for a show at the nearby theater and the staff kindly rushed our order. We were in&out in 30min! Same great service, same amazing food! Loved the shrimp and grits, definitely a must-try. if helpful, thanks! Parking: Has a small lot that fills up. Metered street parking is also available Wheelchair accessibility: All on one level. Plenty of space in walkways.

I took my mother here for her birthday because she has been talking nonstop about this restaurant since seeing George on some of the news shows. I have to admit that we were simply blown away by the food, the service, and the atmosphere. Our waitress was amazing and so very attentive. She answered any questions we had about the menu and was amazing about helping us pick out some of the best foods to try. I had the Maryland Crab Cake and honestly it was the best one I've had. It was packed full of large chunks of crab and the corn hash was full of flavor that married with the crab cake perfectly. I could have just had the crab cake itself as a meal, it was devine. For my main dish I had the stuffed Rainbow Trout. It was beautifully cooked and seasoned perfectly. We will most definitely be back and it has become our top favorite restaurant in Birmingham.

Very friendly staff, excellent food, very relaxed atmosphere. What else to say…. Oh… right.. a glimpse of Greece in the antiques store in the restaurant. Be sure to stop by when you are in Birmingham. Try the VIP snapper. I recommend it. Thank you The Fish Market.

Looking for a place to meet-up with college buddies, we chose The Fish Market. I calld to inquire about a table for 15 and manager, Paul Berman, was quick to respond. He was super helpful in making our reservation for our lunch group. We ended up with a full table! Everyone ordered and the staff was great. And the food. Exceptional as always. The Fish Market is the best!

This location Southside has never disappointed! Great food , did I say GREAT! A nice, unique atmosphere, and friendly service rounded out with a store chopped full of items that can help you reach close results at home. If local , the market is not just a name, take home fresh seafood fish cut to your order and get started. I personally love the tuna steak. Snapper is excellent and the grill won't disappoint, and if you've never had John's slaw give it with the sauce a try.

Had a pretty decent dinner I had the lobster shrimp and chicken plate it is a jumbo style dish that comes with rice. The description didn't say anything about rice my wife had the full lobster . She loved it. But the the appetizer was the chargrill octopus hands down the best we've ever had! Very tender very good!

Nice place to visit in birmingham for seafood. Overall the oysters and fish I tasted are fresh and juicy and the environment is bright and joyful. We order some daily specials and the whole baked bass and oysters. Our favorite side is the broccoli and fried okra. Does the quality is the best in its price range in birmingham? I think it’s kinda fair price but not the best.

Nice seafood selection! The crab claws are my favorite! The staff is friendly, especially the bartender I rated a 4 because the night that we went there was no server to take our order in the area we sat in so we had to go to the register to order our food. They did bring it out to us though! Parking was good! Overall it's a nice place and we had a good experience!

The only good part of our meal was the cajun fried catfish strips. The fried calamari was not crispy and extremely chewy, the manager removed it from our bill. My son ordered the popcorn shrimp, which was also not crispy at all, with a strong fishy flavor. The manager argued that the shrimp was cooked that way to please the masses. I have never went anywhere that fried seafood served soggy was preferred. I will definitely never be back. Very average place. But our server was super nice!

First, service was excellent, Justin was awesome and provided menu suggestions and hospitality. Lunch was great, had the Oyster Po-Boy and was loaded with oysters and bread was fresh. Seafood gumbo had great flavor. This is a wonderful local stop in Birmingham.
