The Worst Service Ever – WOW!!!! My friends and I ate @ Fishmongers today as always. Today we had the rudest waitress ever!!! Tiffany thinks BLACK people dont tip, so she gave us horrible service. Not to mention... her tip was left on the table before she opened her mouth. We were the only people in the resturant that had to go to the register in order to pay for the food. She picked up everybody elses check... UUUMMM I better stick to eating fish from Colemans!!!

Good Food! Good Service! Great Value! – Fishmonger's Restaurant has been a fixture of historic Brightleaf Square sine 1986 -- they must be doing something right! From seafood to BBQ to Certified Angus Ribeye steaks, there is something for everyone on the menu. Our party ordered NC shrimp (beer-battered), oysters and sauteed scallops. The folks at the other end of the picnic table (PICNIC TABLE??!!) had pulled pork sandwiches and brisket that looked great. The prices are reasonable and funky atmosphere is fun and casual. We'l... read more

Hurry to Fishmonger's, it's that GOOD! – Family friendly (beachy decor with picnic tables) serving delicious seafood. The sauteed scallops are out-of-this-world. Our succulent Blue Point oysters were complimented by icy-cold beer. Fried green tomatoes and homemade side dishes followed by banana pudding rounded out a memorable meal. Certified Angus ribeye steaks and barbeque ribs satisfied the land-lubbers with us.

a favorite; can't be beat – You just can't make a food and beverage run downtown Durham without spending some time at Fishmonger's. We spend a LOT of time up and down the Carolina coast and assure you, fresher seafood can't be found unless you reel it in yourself; and you'd be hard pressed to find a better variety. A super casual atmosphere in vintage building with fun quirky pieces (barstools from tractor seats, picnic tables...) makes you glad to say "yeah, this is my town". Roll up your sleeves and throw back the oysters ... read more

Great fish, disappointing sides – Service: Very good. Not the fastest place in the world, but our waitress was relatively knowledgeable and helped us choose our entrees. She was also able to supply chocolate milk for our 5 year old, which was appreciated. No issues with substituting broccoli for fries (I have the one 5 year old in the world that hates french fries) Atmosphere: Very laid back and casual. No peanut shells on the floor, but butcher paper for tablecloths and picnic table seating. A few beer signs, mounted fish a... read more

Appalling service – This was the worst service I have had in quite awhile. Drink and food orders were taken in a relatively prompt manner; this was not in any way indicative of the speed with which the food was brought. I suspect that my party's order was not put in until one of us asked the waitress when we should expect it to arrive (after waiting 45 minutes with no interaction from her). Another 20 minutes later, one person's food arrived (raw oysters and clams). The rest of the food arrived several minutes later. When we... read more

Awful service – My party of five went to this restaurant tonight and waited 90 minutes to get our food after we ordered. The table next to us (who came 20 minutes after we did) got their food 30 minutes before us; this was not the only table that was served sooner. When our food finally arrived, we asked the waitress (who wasn't ours) why it took so long and all she could come up with was that it is a "small restaurant" and "food is made to order". Our waitress, "Melissa S", never came by in the 90 minutes to tell us it woul... read more

BETTER THAN MARYLAND!!! Yeah, I said it. The food is delicious, and it's a fun place you can bring your family OR your buddies! Leave your sunday best at home, you'll feel a little out of place. Come as you are, have a great time, and don't waste money on fancy dining when you could pay less and get the best seafood around. I'm hooked!

awesome seafood – this place isn't about looks...it's all about the food. the seafood is fresh...i personally love the raw oysters with a pint of beer.. i came here with my family from out of town. my mom (who lives in hawaii) couldn't get enough of the seafood. she loved it here... our waiter was a real friendly, casual guy..recommending different specials/local beers...making the experience that much more enjoyable...
