“La Isla provides an all-around comfortable experience in that it's never crowded or noisy and you will NEVER have to wait for a table, but it's a cut above fast food. I absolutely love their cheese enchiladas con carne and their rice and beans, but they also have great tamales and flautas. Everything is always piping hot and fresh--oh, and they have great chips and salsa too!The servers are very friendly and do very well to keep drink glasses filled and plates cleared. If you want to linger, that's fine; but if you want to get in and out quickly but want something a little better than a run-of-the-mill fast food joint, La Isla is for you.“
“A little too popular for its own good at times, but there's no denying why. It's exterior is a little unassuming in a generic multi-use building off of the highway (drove by it for years and never gave it much thought), but a walk inside and you'll definitely pick up what many locals already knew; this bar/restaurant means business.The dark wood finish and gold/brass give it a nice old-school fancy charm, as do the spiffy uniforms of the bartenders and wait staff. Thankfully the outfits aren't the only great thing about the staff, as almost everyone that spoke to us was very warm, friendly, and polite. We did have some trouble with our reservation, but that is most likely due to the biggest flaw of the place...its popularity.Walking into Mac's at 7pm on a Friday looks like Fat Tuesday at Razoo's...way more packed than you could have possibly imagined. Despite reservations, we were seated about 10 minutes late due to them simply not having a table for us. However, once we got the table, things went right back to great. Our server was quick on the drink orders, got us salad right away, and even gave us some time to enjoy it before getting entree orders (pro tip, if you think you might want the salad...GET the salad). I went with the grilled shrimp, and it they really mean "grilled". The barbeque smoked flavor coming off of these was superb, and the flavor was even better. My wife can't get enough of the crawfish etouffee, it's her fave dish. If you're in the area, you'd be crazy not to try it...just plan for a bit of a wait.“
“Wonderful gastronomic experience and excellent service that will leave anyone in love.Nothing better than being in a cozy atmosphere and excellent service. I want more moments like this, even more special with my family.Wheelchair accessibility: There is accessibility for anyone with a disability, not to mention the kindness of the team that works there.“
“Wow! Finally a restaurant that serves food that brings back the memories of home. The fish n shrimp were fried to perfection. The pickled relish paired perfectly with the beans. Even the baked potato was delightful. But the star of the evening was the dinner rolls—and I’m not much of a bread eater! Gotta try it out.“
“Service was amazing. Food is always great but ask for Naylynn! She was our server during our business lunch! She’s the best. If she recommends a dish, GO FOR IT! Everything she recommended was great! Had a great time! Thank Naylynn for making our afternoon better“
“Beautiful location and the food to match. Service was on point and just what we needed, the right amount of attention, and all the suggestions were perfect. The New York strip, I could have eaten ut twice.Parking: There are lots of locations to park, and there is an underground lot also.“
“I order 4 lbs of crawfish and the bucket with with snow crab, potatoes and sausage; all with KC paradise flavor and level medium spicy. It was all delicious, love the flavor, and seasoning. Everything was so fresh. I really enjoyed it and order 3 more lbs of crawfish togo. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend checking them out!“
“The first time I ate here was when I ordered their tres leche cake. I like their cake because it doesn’t have all the extra fruit on it. Ever since then, I would only come here when I had a taste for some tres leche cake. Never tried their food before till now! OMG!!! I’ve been missing out on some good Mexican food! Hard to find good authentic Mexican food around Arlington and with good service. We had ordered their beef and cheese enchiladas dinner and steak shrimp and sausage fajita. My husband had the shredded beef burrito! They did not disappoint! My craving was met! Thank you!“
“Super friendly staff and quality food!I'm not a big fan of mac salads, but this one, this one is terrific! Is Chicken Katsu a basic thing to try? Yes but it is a dealbreaker menu item to me. Ana's didn't disappoint!All food is fresh & made to order, so dont go inside thinking you will be in and out in under 10 minutes with some reheated plate. Only thing missing was the Aloha Maid juices!“
“Easy 5 stars here.There was zero wait. We had 5 adults and 3 kids and on Saturday night they got us right in. Please note they were busy too.I had the kabob with rice and my wife had a burger and we shared a baked potato. That is the best baked potato I’ve ever eaten!The atmosphere is wonderful. So many things to look at. My favorite part was the bucket of toy soldiers and a sign that said to take one and put it somewhere and when you see it pray for our military and service members.If you are ever in the area stop by! It is worth your time and money.“
“The other half and I had a craving for crab legs yet we were unsure as to where to go. We landed on King Crab House in Hurst. The food and the service were incredible. Tein was our waitress and she was phenomenal. We had ordered crab legs and shrimp in their house sauce and a po boy and it was bang up. Such an awesome experience we had to share with the owner. We will certainly be back when the other half has another hankering for seafood.“

“Visited here today and my husband & I loved everything we tried!! Aldo the Hibachi portion was do huge I took over half of it home(and I'm greedy lol). My pictures will not do this place justice, but I'll post them anyway. I had shrimp & chicken Hibachi & hubby had sushi, two thumbs up from us both! Hibachi was fresh, fragrant and the nutty flavor from the toasted/roasted sesame seeds with the noodles elevated the flavor! The sushi was great as well ordered a spicy tuna roll and a shrimp tempura one. Rolls had a great presentation and were filling.“
“Like most Saltgrass, you know exactly what you are getting if you visit this restaurant. I can't in good conscious give 5 stars today for just a few reasons. At first arrival, the lobby was busy, but no one knew where the line was to check in, and it was organized chaos. With that said, we did get seated pretty quickly. The waiter was ok, but for us, he was way too talkative. I like to enjoy my meal without all the conversation. He did a good job, though. The bread here is always amazing. We ordered mushrooms and crab cakes for appetizers. You can't go wrong with either. Both were amazing. I really liked the crab cakes with the lemon sauce. The potato soup is not what I'm used to and tasted like it was missing something. The meals were as expected, tasted good, hot, tender ribs, and perfectly cooked steak. The couple we were eating with, though, had their fish come out more raw than fish should be. They did take care of it and replaced the dish, but by the time he got his fish, we were almost done. The remake was cooked properly, but it was way over seasoned. Overall, a good, not great visit. I would recommend a visit despite our issues since they are very consistent with good food.“
“I had what was called the regular shrimp which was huge but you can get bigger. I got ranch and Cajun flavor and they were both amazing. I will definitely be going back. This was my first time and I had just heard about them earlier in the day. I heard about them at work in dallas but I live in arlington and this shop is not even a mile away from my home. How convenient. If you like shrimp this is a place you will want to check out. It won't disappoint“
“Went for lunch, food and service were great! Steaks are always well seasoned and tender. Sides are great as always! Our waiter Gideon was wonderful and helpful in deciding what to eat! All other staff we had encounters with were also kind, several acknowledged my baby watching them and stopped to say hello to her. Definitely recommend and will be back!“
“Great place that I would highly recommend to anyone. The place serves great tea/boba and the convenience of variety of delicious food/appetizers. Food and drink are fairly priced, and the staff is extremely nice and give great recommendations. Began by just walking in to order 1 boba and ended up revisiting and ordering for the whole family a total of 4 bobas, 3 appetizers and a po boy. Everything was quick and food was restaurant quality!A small family owned hidden gem, I seriously believe this place deserves more spotlight.“
“It was our first time going and we've been meaning to visit for awhile. Everything was so good! Can't go wrong with the sampler or the fried jalapeños. The roasted jalapeno soup and clam chowder were to die for! Gumbo had perfect amount of seasoning and the crab bisque was delicious.I had the texas blackened red fish with gulf shrimp, crab butter and green beans with creamy parm rice. Soooo good! My husband had the shrimp po boy and he loved it too. We didn't finish our meal as we ate a lot of the apps, but took everything to go.Our waitress Brandy is amazing. She checked on us and refilled our teas when they were low. She also gave great recommendations!Bathrooms were clean as was the restaurant. We will definitely be back!“
“My family and I went here for out monthly outing. As soon as they opened at noon we were ready to eat. The seafood was good and fresh. The only thing that wasn't great was my daughter asking for a side of white rice. It was stiff and not fresh looking. Maybe thats the way it should be, but didn't look good. We spent around $575 between 5 of us. And yes we order almost everything they offered. I highly recommend this place. Great selection!“
“Today was my first eating there and it was so good and very well season. The lady that too my order very sweet.and two other people's was in there and they were very nice also(and for the Cook I'm go have to steal you and have you cook for me...) I will be coming back very very soon..I had the catfish and shrimp it was take out“
Chicken Wings • $
“I went for the wings. I had a 10 piece half ? ? and half garlic ? ? . They were delicious,customer service great. I'll visit again but I must say I was surprised you don’t get not even 1 courtesy dipping sauce. At almost $15 It would be nice to get at least 1 ranch or Bleu cheese at no cost with the order.“
“Great place! We went during the dinner rush on a weekend and the wait wasn’t too bad (they had a numbering system and a PA system that is hard to hear/understand at times due to the crowd)Food is always fresh and didn’t feel like it sat for a long time.Surprisingly the bathrooms were clean, for how crowded the place was I never got a sense that the bathrooms felt disgusting (My wife and daughter felt the same way)Would highly recommend“
“If they would just go back to those steak fries, this place would be perfect!!! We eat here at least once a month and would do it more often if we could. The prices are great and the food is the best. Nobody has those delicious hush puppies but catfish and company!!!“

“We celebrated our anniversary here and it was a great experience. We both had steak and lobster, which was cooked perfectly. Asia was our server, and she was attentive and friendly. We will definitely go back. Everything we had was delicious.“
“Lisa's chicken never disappoints. It is one of the few fadt food places that you can still get your money's worth price wise. Their chicken gizzard are always great. As well as the fried shrimp. Their fried rice is also good plus great portions.“
“All stars 5. Our waiter Doug was awesome. He knew just what to suggest and was very nice. I took my girlfriend for Valentine’s Day and we were both very impressed definitely perfect date night. Inside feels like it’s a different world. All the staff is very “
“Good was very good. Not a single complaint in what we ordered. Fried calamari, stuffed mushrooms, baked ziti, Stromboli, chicken rollatini and chicken castalini.Only issue was it took awhile because we got stuck behind a large order. Would come back if in the area again.“
“Fuimos mi amiga y yo a almorzar, el servicio es excelente. Tuvimos un pequeño problema con el platillo de pescado que mi amiga pidió, su pescado estaba frío y se le informó a la mesera y ella muy amable le ofreció reemplazar su platillo pero mi amiga no quiso. Vino el manager y muy atento el nos ofreció también reemplazar el platillo o nos podía ofrecer alguna otra cosa, mi platillo si estaba caliente aunque un poco salado. Pedimos un ceviche como aperitivo y ese si estaba muy sabroso. En fin, lo que más nos impresionó lo excepcional de el servicio que nos ofrecieron. Yo se que aveces tenemos errores y no por eso dejaremos de regresar a su localidad de Arlington.“
“Love the food, especially the chicken soup. Some of the best chicken soup I’ve ever had.I will say, as the years have gone by, the menu has changed significantly since I was a kid. It does suck when personal favorites disappear in place of stuff I won’t eat.My biggest issue would be the price-to-serving ratio. I’m not sure if it’s still on the menu, but last time I ordered it, I spent $20-30 on cheese ravioli to get less than 10 smallish ravioli.But it’s a great place to get good Italian food regardless.“
“3 times to order in the past 2 weeks. Had Kung Pao Chicken, Cashew Chicken and Hunan Chicken, all were very tasty, but they tasted about the same. Same use of vegetables and not much difference in the sauce. 2 spicy, 1 not, but tasted the same. Also ordered spring rolls. Won't order again. 3 very small rolls and works out to be about $.50 per bite.“
“Sydney was amazing! They knew we were on vacation and went above and beyond to make our experience memorable! Thank you Sydney!Vegetarian options: They have a good variety. I am not one but I lean that way occasionally so I always look and take note! Good variety! Also their guacamole is to die for!“
“After seeing other reviews and recommendations for the fried fish, we had to give this place a try. It's a typical counter service style restaurant. I ordered the 2 piece fish combo. The fish was fried fresh and steaming hot when served. Crinkle cut fries were crispy, fresh and had some incredible seasoning on sprinkled on top. They make their own tarter sauce too. It's Ike no other and almost addictive. Now back to the fish. The combo came with 2 large filets. They were fried perfectly. Crispy and golden on the outside and fully cooked but not overly done on the inside. Fish was seasoned well and tasted great! They forgot to put hushpuppies on out plates. No big deal because we still had plenty of food to eat.“
“Great place for Mexico food, The Clean restaurant and good customer service is the main reason I come back to this place.The food is made to order. And is always fresh.Parking: You park the car between the lines. Not like a selfish moron and take 2 spaces. Noone likes that.“
“Came here because I was craving wings and was told that TJ's has "the best wings in Arlington". Discovered that TJ's catfish and wings combined with a barbecue joint called MJ's barbecue so now they serve both. Even before we got to the entrance, we could smell the barbecue from the outside. It smelled so appealing. When we got inside, we were greeted by friendly staff. We ordered the 10 piece wings, a side of cornbread, a side of fried okras, and the internet infamous loaded potato with barbecue brisket and cheese.When we got our food, oh boy was that potato loaded. It was so loaded you couldn't even see the potato. But that proportion was just right--I hate whenever I finish my toppings and all I got is potato left. No, they give you enough so you can have a topping with every bite. The barbecue that they use on top is sweet--kinda reminds me of Spring Creek barbecue. It was some damn good potato. Every hearty, definitely gets you full.The spicy barbecue wings tasted good. Wasn't the best I've ever had, but good wings nonetheless. The spicy barbecue tastes like barbecue sauce mixed with buffalo sauce but there's more buffalo than barbecue. It's listed as spicy but it's not really that spicy in my opinion. The wings come drenched in sauce so you can't complain about that. It comes with a side of ranch and that ranch is pretty darn good. I usually don't like ranch but I can recognize some good ranch when I taste one.The fried okras are the same as any fried okra out there. These came out hot and fresh and crispy though. So, yes it's plain but it's good quality.The cornbread is also plain cornbread. Nothing special about it (as a side. There's two types of cornbread, the entree one and the one as a side. I got the side). It is good though. Gives a pretty good aftertaste.This establishment also serves daiquiris so next time I come I might wanna try them.The restaurant was clean. Ambiance is roomy and has multiple TVs hooked up to the wall. You could watch a game while eating here. There's a self serve area off to the side where you can get paper plates, utensils, drinks, napkins, to go boxes, and restrooms as well along with a sink with paper towels and soap on the outside which I think is convenient.Honestly I'm glad I found this place. Would come back.“
“I mostly went for the Mudbugs, which were delicious. On my third trip we tried multiple dishes and all shared. I was not overly impressed and feel it was standard fare. However, all the staff is very friendly and helpful. We usually have beer but this time we had Margaritas as well. They were so salty we really couldn’t drink them, so I added beer to mine and made a CoronaRita.“
“My daughter and i went a little while back. Kinda shocked it wasn't still Chophouse. There was no real difference in the food. It was great! There had been an online snafu and they hadn't received our order. The Manager (or owner?) was on it. His customer service alone means we'll be back. Thank “
“The food was ok, I wish the shrimp on my etouffée were bigger.The crab cakes were delicious, so you might want to try them.The Margarita was tasty, but we had to wait to be seated since it was a busy Good Friday.My guy's po'boy sandwich could be hotter as well as his fries.We had a delicious bread pudding.“
“Last night, i went with my mom dad a 2 sisters and a ton of friends and it was one of the best experiences i’ve had The music and karaoke was amazing. Our server, His name was Santiago i believe. He was amazing, he always checked on us and made sure we were okay and happy. I would 100% go back to this restaurant!“
“Walked in on Friday, 04/12. Spoke twice to the young lady at the register on the side for drinks that hat 2 braids in her hair. After she didn't speak another kind very professional young took over, spoke and asked, what can she help us with. We told her. Everything was good after that bc I was about to walk out of that black owned drink shop. I don't mind supporting us but with someone at the register acting like it killed her to be at work and no customer service. I wanted to walk right back out the door until the other young lady stepped in. I will give 5* the drinks were BOOM! Also got an oxtail plate that was DELICIOUSLY GOOD!“

“It's my first time at this place and the food was delicious! And not to mention the atmosphere! They had a live group playing music, they enjoyed the songs, the band was very cool! The perfect service! I was served by a very kind and attentive girl, her name ANDREA, she was there to check if my table was okay or if we had something else. It's not for nothing but I do recommend this place. Oh and percent it's FAMILY atmosphere“
“The food is authentic and great, but the service and atmosphere are what you might expect from the rough exterior. Been going here for over 25 years. We almost always take our food to go. Ownership changed hands a few years ago so some of our go-to items have changed for the less good.“
“Nice relaxing atmosphere The food presentation was very good and appealing. I would have given it a five-star rating for the foods, but my nephew's order was incorrect; the cook had to correct the order twice. The fried catfish had just the right crunch and seasoning. The cole slaw and salad were good. Expect to spend between $20 and $30 on a meal. Our waiter, Terrance, was entertaining and friendly. I will be going back for the food and the entertainment.“
“I dont normally do reviews but I wanted to throw a shout out to Chris and the gentleman with the pony tail. Their customer service was fantastic. Checking on customers, and making sure they are enjoying their food and even going as far as refilling guest drinks which I've never seen before at a Caprain D's. Place looked clean, food was hot, and service was friendly. Thank you, I'll be coming back for sure.“
“5 stars for ambiance, service and food. So many selections. Food quality is fantastic for an AYCE K-BBQ. Their bulgogi is soft and tender... that bulgogi marinade is banging good! Spicy pork ribs, pork with cheese katsu, japchae, hottok are amazing! I used to only go to Omi but from now on I'm going to Gen for korean BBQ.“
“We had such a great meal here! Our waitress was excellent. She was so friendly and upbeat. It was a pleasure to have her.All the food was excellent and large portions. We had the crab, shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and corn with the everything seasoning. It was delicious!! We were stuff and so happy after this meal.Highly recommend!!“
“Loved this spot! Was in Arlington for work and lucked upon this spot. Had the crawfish and it does not disappoint, very good Viet cajun style. Tried both mild and spicy flavors, both were great. I'm hoping to be back soon so that I can try more things on the menu. Service was great and the staff was very attentive. Highly recommend!“
“Best fresh seafood in the area. Crab, shrimp, crawdads, etc. Food is cooked to your liking. Wait staff needs to be more careful. Being a married couple who has been here before perception can hurt your tip. Yes, we are and have been an interracial couple for almost 25 years. Waitress assumed two checks at the table and did not fix. Gave us two checks both times even after my wide told her we were together and married. This is not satisfactory service. We left a little peeved with our waitress.“
“our server was outstanding. the only issue I have really was whenever we made a reservation two days before and maybe a day before just so we wouldn’t have to wait 20 to 30 minutes people who just walk in maybe their system on that could be a little bit better the food was good I probably won’t come back here though. just because I’m really used to Louisiana gumbo or Louisiana when it comes to gumbo or any type of seafood but the house salad was good“
“We visited this restaurant back in March 2024. Me and my husband was meeting with a long-time friend. None of us had been to this restaurant but decided to go since it was close in the area of where we were staying. The outside was quite clean, and I loved the ambience of the restaurant; dark but not too dark. I must stop and brag on the waitress because our guest was quite unsure of what she wanted and because everything seemed so delicious she wanted details on the 5 items she had her choices narrowed down to.Shelly the waitress was amazing as without even looking at the menu was able to literally tell our friend exactly what she would be getting if she ordered say an ultimate fish sandwich, I mean right down to the way the sandwich is prepared. All three of us enjoyed our meal. It was fresh and looked appetizing and appealing. I was a little underwhelmed by the seasoning of the catfish because it tastes as though it had zero seasoning. Other than that, the service was good, and the bill was mid-range. So would I ever come to this establishment again, probably so….at least I can add some seasoning I cannot take seasoning away from meals prepared with too much salt and etc.“
“Yummy yummy yummy! Quick little snackaroo. Can't go wrong with this little gem. If you haven't tried it out ,give it a shot.Vegetarian options: They got a couple options that could be vegetarian friendly. Check out the menu I posted itParking: Tons of spaceKid-friendliness: They have a good variety of kid friendly options. Check out the menu.Wheelchair accessibility: It's all even everywhere so you can definitely find somewhere to park and be comfortable and easy going if you have a wheelchair.“
“First time here. Friendly and attentive service from all the staff. We got the gator bites, hush puppies (best i’ve ever had), butterfly shrimp and fried catfish, which were all amazing! They gave us a small discount due to a minor hiccup in the order, but they made sure to accommodate us. We will be back to explore more of the delicious menu!“
