Laid-back counter-serve with a beach-shack vibe serving casual eats, seafood & beer.

Finished taking on the local museum and wanted lunch. Found this small little gem about a block away. Food was very fresh and cooked to perfection. Menu had a nice selection of lunch items. Our server, Autumn, was stellar. She was friendly, kept a good eye on us, and just made us feel at home. Seating was available inside and out. We opted for the outdoor deck. Parking was available adjacent to the restaurant.

My grandfather owned a grocery store when I was little. He had a small table and chairs in the back store room between all the boxes and supplies where he and my aunt would eat lunch. Eating in Tricky Fish reminded me of that. That’s not really a bad thing for me, personally but probably not what the owners were going for. The counter and dining area desperately needs an update.
That said, the food was good. This was my first time here in years. The last time, I didn’t care for it. I have to say, the food is much better than it was under the previous owners.
The service was friendly but they were certainly understaffed when we were there. One woman was trying to take orders, cash people out, bus tables, and answer phones. She did it all with grace, though.

Just moved to Charleston so of course I had to come try out a new restaurant. So glad we chose Tricky Fish! The tacos were amazing. Large portions, great flavor, probably some of the best beans I’ve had. The staff was super nice and welcomed us. Love the patio seating. I’ve heard great things about the hush puppies as well so we will definitely be back!!

If you’re looking for a very decent Po’Boy, look no further. The sauce on my Shrimp Po’Boy was a little sweet for my taste, but once I spiced it up with one of their wide selection of sauces on the table, I enjoyed it almost as much as the ones I’d get in Mississippi!! Their chips were really good too. I like extra crunch. Also tried the Gouda Cheese bites. They were good and smokey. I plan on going back to try the fish tacos. I’ve heard good things…

If you don’t try the vegan crab cake sandwich, you’re missing out on one of the best meat substitutions in West Virginia. This sandwich tasted like an authentic Maryland crab cake. The vibe is fun, colorful, and lively. The staff are aware of plant-based preferences, and I felt confident that there wouldn’t be any accidental cheese or mayo in our takeout order. I love the patio seating and draped lights!

Food is average. Tried the fried shrimp with french fries and onion rings. They were too greasy for my liking. Service is mediocre. The Blonde beer, however, was great. Prices were reasonable.

This place is amazing! Stopped here on a Saturday night on the way home. These were the best tacos I ever had and even though they were busy and there was one person doing everything, my food still came out faster than the chain restaurants! I would highly recommend for anyone looking for good food, good times, and good service, will definitely be back next time I’m in the area! Also conveniently located across the street from the capitol complex and right off the freeway, look for the gravel parking lot!

Stopped here on a road trip from SC back to OH and it was an absolutely pleasure of an experience! The restaurant itself is very cute offering outdoor seating on a front patio, not to mention it was very conveniently located right off the highway. The server was so friendly and very helpful with meal recommendations. And then the food. The food . Easily one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. I had the Mahi Tacos and they were so delicious I literally didn’t eat a chip until I finished them both (not to mention they’re very good sized tacos & not the super small ones you’d expect) I just couldn’t put them down! & I’m not a big guacamole gal, but oh my gosh the guac was so fresh and yummy, as was the salsa! My mom got the Crab Cake Po Bo Sandwich & was pleasantly surprised by the amazing flavors, she puts ketchup on literally everything, didn’t need to use a drop I will 100% make this a regular stop when traveling, and I’m the “let’s try somewhere new” type of person. Highly recommend 🙂

The Buffalo shrimp was so awesome. As was the Barbque with homemade Cole slaw and the hotdogs. The service was also great.
