Best

The food is really good, and fresh. Try the top shelf margarita, its not a mix like other places. My favorite so far is the Mahi Mahi Alexander. The service is quick and courteous.

Service great, atmosphere nice, food bland and boring. Went for lunch and was unimpressed with the quality of food and lack of flavor. Pros: Good service from the waitress who...

I had the crawfish combo and enjoyed it 6/6/2012

I had the crawfish combo and enjoyed it much more than Pappadeaux (also the price was better). more

terrible food 8/11/2011

Had not been to Fish Daddys for about 5 years. What a disappointment. Picked up food to go. Got the New England clam chower -- got it home and it had red tortilla chips and corn in it, not sure that there were any clams. The crabcakes were full of filler and some spicy unnamed ingredient. The seafood fondue had no taste at all. Will NEVER go back!!!!!!!!!!! more

Horrible Experience!!! 1/23/2011

I've ate at Fish Daddy's many times this time I had a bad experience! Was informed that seating was approx. 30 min. for a party of 6. Waited almost an hour. Seen 2 other parties of 5 that came in after us was seated before us. Ask hosted why those people were seated before us. She stated that she tried to find us. I informed her that was not possible because my party was by the door the whole time. Luckily the manager was there! When seated the waiter took our order for appetizers. which we had to keep on asking him about when it was going to be served.. He stated that the calamari did not look good so he sent them back to have the cook redo. Ask about the hush puppies never seen that order until we were almost done with the order! Everyone was served except one our party. Ask another waiter about his order and he got the manager. At that time we ask what happen to his order everyone else had been served approx. 15 mins. earlier and he had not been served his meal???? We also told him that we ordered hush puppies and ask about that order several time got no response!!! Finally when we were all done with our meal they brought the appetizer. The manager kept stating that he was going to take care of us. Don't Understand what that meant. The Service Was Horrible & Food Was Cold!!! more

Just had my first and LAST experience with this awful place 2/1/2010

My husband and I called in a to-go order to the Fish Daddy's in Pfluggerville. The waitress behind the bar where we picked up our order was polite enough. By the time we got home the food as getting cold (it was 30 degrees outside and we had a 15 min drive home because we live in Austin) so I decided to take my ""chicken breast"" out of my sandwish and warm it up a little. When I opened the sandwich and saw the meat, it was very obviously FISH and not chicken! I HATE FISH!!! That's why I ordered the damn chicken! I called and talked to a manager about what happened. I told her that my husband was very upset that he had to make an extra 30 min drive AND spend our gas money to get there and she sounded like she didn't give a crap...didn't even apologize or offer to refund us our money...She just said ""Ok, we'll have a chicken sandwich ready for you when you get here."" I think we should have at LEAST had the price of the sandwich refunded to us but, NO, these people couldn't even do that. I will NEVER spend my money at this crappy, half-assed excuse for a restaurant EVER again! Pros: food is cheap Cons: staff can't even get your order right more

Great for the Price! 1/22/2010

One time, after my husband and I were first married, we went there on a Sunday night for the first time. It was around 9:45 and there was hardly anyone there (they closed at 10:00). The wait staff was so friendly. They treated us as if we were their first customers, instead of their last. We were very impressed and have been going periodically since then. I have not noticed a problem with Fish Daddy's being dirty. I went to the RR once there and it seemed to be maintained. Tonight, I am going with some girlfriends and will be eating healthier, so I will see how they fare on charbroiled entrees! Pros: Great Place for Price;As Clean as Most Eateries, These Days Cons: Lots of Fried Food more

Great Place to Eat 12/31/2009

since i moved to Austin in 2005 i have frequented Fish Daddy's several times and have loved the food. I am from the Gulf Coast near Louisana and I have been impressed with your restaurant. The service has been great and everyone is friendly. Pros: Service was Great Cons: I didn't think there was any more

Poor Customer Service 11/11/2008

Fish Daddy's was a great place when it first opened, but the customer service there is not what one would expect. I spoke to the manager there regarding a party and he was extremely rude and not understanding. The food is still decent but will never go back due to lack of customer service. more

Gone Downhill...Very Disappointed 6/23/2008

When we first moved to the Pflugerville area almost 4 years ago Fish Daddy's was one of favorite places for dinner and we ate there probably once a week. Whenever friends and family came to visit we usually took them there for an enjoyable and affordable dining experience. We really enjoyed the quality of the food, the ""Painkiller"" was awesome, the staff was always very friendly and courteous & we also felt it was a good value. Unfortunately, I guess all good things must come to an end....The last few times we ate there it seems the place was starting to go downhill, but Saturday night we thought we'd give it one more try. However we both left feeling disappointed and told each other we'd be crossing this place off our list for good. To start, the hostessed seemed miffed we politely declined the table next to the noisy kitchen area, even though there were plenty of others available. Once seated we immediately noticed the place was in serious need of some attention...there were bits of trash & food scattered about the floors and our booth wasn't the cleanest either. A little more sweeping & mopping and a little less socializing between staff members. Our waiter was cordial, but kept trying to rush us into ordering even after we told him from the start we wanted to enjoy our drinks & apps before we ordered. (last time they slammed us with apps, salad and entree) The Painkillers did not look or taste as good as they once had. The Mexican shrimp cocktail was OK but was completely void of avocado. We shared the combination entree of shrimp etouffee', stuffed shrimp and fried catfish with coleslaw and red beans and rice. The stuffed shrimp was overcooked and tough, as was the catfish and every thing was SOOO SALTY we needed a gallon of water to get through the meal. It's unfortunate this restaurant has gone from great to below average in just a few short years, but there are many other choices in the area for a more enjoyable dining experience. more

OK food but a little dirty 1/22/2008

I would rate the place better, but the floors were sooo bad. The food was good but I could not get past the fact that the place was dirty. I don't know, maybe they should try mopping. Cons: dirty more

Fish Daddies Evolves 12/2/2007

When this place open a few years back it rivaled upscale coporate casual places such as Pappadeaux. It offered a wide variety of fresh fish at extremely reasonable prices. As the years have passed gone are things like Snapper, Redfish and Rainbow Trout. You can still get a decent Cedar Plank Salmon and an above average Mexican Shrimp Cocktail. But all the things that made this eartery above average are no longer available. The service is ok, the bar staff is good and management is attentive. But everything special is non-existent. This is still a great place for families and still a good deal. Just don't expect anything above average. Pros: This place is still a great value. Cons: All the premium fish are gone from the menu (e.g. snapper, redfish and rainbow trout) more

BAD EXPERIENCE 10/21/2007

The service was horrible. 1. We get our appetizers with no plates and finally the plates come out ten minutes later, after the appetizers are cold. Strike One! 2. We get our salads at the same time as our meal. Strike Two! 3. My son gets his chicken strips thirty minutes after everyone is served and we are leaving and, one of our guests at our table got his meal twenty minutes after ours. I waited out of courtesy until his meal came, thus giving the rest of us a cold meal. Strike Three! They, by the way, only compensated for my son's meal. The whole thing should have been compensated. The manager's tone was one of not being concerned or even believing my complaint. She immediately tells me she did not see any late meals to our table, as if I was lying and not sitting at my own table. She tried two other attempts to back her waiters up, until she finally listened and just compensated for my sons meal. I can see why they are having problem, with that type of management. THIS WAS A BAD EXPERIENCE! This is the second time I have had bad service. The last time I went to Fish Daddy?s, the waiter spilled a whole container of tea on me with no compensation and again, they slammed us with our salad and meal together. Cons: BAD SERVICE. YOU CAN EAT YOUR MEAL BEFORE YOUR SALAD more

Grilled snapper with shrimp and crawfish cream sauce and buttery vegetables; superb! 2/17/2007

You can't go wrong with the Snapper Alexander for $15. It's about as good as Pappadeaux but for a whole lot less. My girlfriend tried the shrimp scampi and it was good but she preferred to used the creamy sauce that came with my snapper alexander. So good! I love this place. Nice atmosphere. Huge aquarium. Friendly waitstaff. There's also a bar. Even when it's crowded, the wait is never long. Relatively undiscovered. I love the place. The Snapper Alexander can be had with blacked or grilled Snapper. The difference isn't huge because the blackening doesn't spice it up too much at all; mainly makes it a good bit saltier. Waiter named Miami always recommends blackened but I prefer grilled. Good place to take someone you care about. Pros: awesome food, casual atmosphere, friendly waitstaff Cons: not inexpensive enough to eat there every day but once or twice a month is cool. more
