Wife and I ordered the caddo plate (tilapia and grilled shrimp) on a special sauce. It was ok. We also ordered a pound of boiled shrimp and they were really dried. Came with high expectations and left a little disappointed of the shrimp specially.

This location is a must-visit! The atmosphere is cool and unique, and kids love all the fish décor and lively vibe. The catfish is always amazing, the food is fresh and flavorful, and the beer and margaritas are served super cold. Crawfish season is a highlight and worth the trip. Join the Crub Club for free meals and discounts—it’s a great perk for regulars. The place is casual, family-friendly, and has a friendly staff that makes every visit enjoyable. Perfect spot for seafood lovers looking for a relaxed, welcoming place to eat.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars – Outstanding Service and Delicious Food!
Flying Fish at Firewheel truly deserves a five-star review.
I ordered a salad with grilled blackened catfish and what impressed me the most was the incredible customer service.
When I asked about the ingredients, they explained that the salad mix included spinach.
I let the server know that unfortunately I cannot eat spinach and even though it already came mixed with the other greens, they took the time to carefully remove all the spinach so I could enjoy a salad with only lettuce.
That level of care and attention is truly exceptional, it means so much when a restaurant goes the extra mile for a customer’s dietary needs.
On top of that, my daughters ordered from the kids’ menu, which came with fries.
We didn’t realize it at the time and they didn’t touch them because they wanted corn instead.
The manager kindly switched the fries for corn without any hesitation. Another big applause for such amazing customer service!
The food was absolutely delicious, but the service made the experience even better. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

This is my second time going there the first time I spent $20 on a piece of red snapper and fried okra it was burnt. Sorry I do not have a picture. It was overcooked. Try it again for another $20.02 pieces of catfish jumbo shrimp it’s supposed to be not the case way too pricey for a little bit of food I will not go back.

Been coming here for years. Consistent good food. Join the grub club and you will get basically a buy one get one free that’s good for the first 21 days of the month. You do have to buy two drinks but that’s no biggie when you can mix lemonade and sweet tea to make your own Arnold Palmer. Catfish is generally my wife’s go to and mine is the tilapia tacos or poor boy. This time I tried the catfish with jambalaya . It was good . Might become my new go to with two of my favorite things from here. The jambalaya has shredded chicken and small cut sausages. Could be a little bigger to make it better.

Sue,
The manager at Flying Fish, is absolutely amazing! From the moment we walked in, she was warm, friendly, and incredibly welcoming. She created such a great atmosphere. You can tell she truly cares about both the customers and her team.
And let’s talk about the food fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Everything we ordered was delicious! I had no idea Garland was hiding this gem. Between the great service, great food, and overall vibe, we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

The Food is Decent, I had the Veracruz Snapper the fish was fresh but the sauce wasn’t tasty enough! The rice tasted like precooked rice from a Box, the best thing was the grilled veggies! The menu looks delicious maybe I’ll try something different next Time! The service is good but once you pay for your food they don’t go and check on You at all!! I was driving around the, and I decided to give this place another shot, and I’m glad I did! This time I ordered the Caddo , and it was delicious the fish, and shrimp were fresh and delicious, the whole combination of Flavors was amazing, even the rice tasted good, the creamy sauce is delicious and spicy enough to bring out the flavors and still enjoyable! Don’t need to add anything but a couple of Beers?? The stuff is always nice and welcoming!!

As I am traveling through Dallas TX I stumbled upon this restaurant. I was happy to find it but did not really want to eat fried food. They offer a variety of seafood. Fortunately I was in luck because they offer the choice of grilled whatever you want. I opted for the grilled trout with grilled vegetables. The waiting period was minimal. The food taste very good with enough seasoning but nothing overwhelming. I was happy if was not salty at all. Just enough so anyone can enjoy it. My travel mate was also very pleased with her shrimp tacos and side salad. The salad ingredients were fresh and crunchy. It is a keeper.

really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately, it was a major disappointment. Most of the food felt rushed and lacked basic preparation.
The Seafood: The fish and shrimp tasted unwashed and fresh “out of the bag” with zero seasoning or care. There was just no joy in the cooking.
The Catty Lake: This was a total miss. It was covered in cayenne pepper but had no salt or depth, making it somehow spicy and bland at the same time.
The Gator Queso: This was watery and had the consistency of soup rather than a dip.
The Silver Lining: The fried redfish was actually good, but it wasn’t enough to save the meal.
Overall, the seafood boil and most of the sides were a letdown. I won’t be rushing back.

Excellent seafood! Always tastes fresh! There is not a wait staff, but the behind the counter staff is always friendly! We call our lunch group the Wednesday Lunch Coalition. Flying Fish is a valuable member in our restaurant rotation!
