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.
