Garland Seafood & Bar — Restaurant in Garland

If I could this whole in a wall a zero star I would! Today I decided to go in and give this place a try. Me and friend walked in and it was pretty dead for a Sunday and really didn’t think anything of it. I ordered oysters, corn, and potatoes, while my friend ordered a shrimp and crab leg sac. I get my oysters, took a bite off of one and knew it wasn’t fresh!!! I immediately asked the waiter if we could cook it a little bit more as I did ask for it to be well done and she said yes. She brings it back and it tastes the same way so I asked her if we can go ahead and just take it off the ticket and I will order something else. I end up eating a clustered of crab legs because obviously I’m just sitting there . She says no That she was unable to refund me the $25 for the oysters that were not touched (only 1, And I immediately spit that out), and I reply to her if I could speak with someone regarding the matter. She tells the manager, and of course the manager didn’t even want to come to the table to address the issue. She’s walking around mumbling and I’m assuming irritated. I asked for her to come over again as there was no need to make a scene. I just wanted the issue to be addressed. She comes over and states that the refund policy is on the menu which I’ve already seen but regarding one bite off of 12 oysters that could have easily been resolved. She then proceeded to say our horses are from the golf and you’re the only one that has made a complaint. Whether I’m the only one that’s made a complaint I did not like the taste Of the first bite, and I made the waiter aware of it. I will still charge for the oysters. She did offer me two drinks that were $2.99 apiece which still doesn’t add up for the $25 on the oysters. All in all, The food was horrible, Everything taste like oil, Then it appears they put sugar or some type of sweetness with all of their flavors. That throws off a customer’s meal in every customer should be aware if you guys do that! The situation was handled, unprofessional and poorly. This business has two days to address the issue and if they choose not to, I will be reaching out to my bank! As a business that rarely gets customers you would think they will do Customers or patriot that do try to support them! Over $100 gone down the drain with no regards is bad business. Me and my party decided to pay for the ticket and just leave because the experience was horrible! I felt very uncomfortable, Wasn’t taking serious, Seems that they don’t want specific people there. A full refund is needed! The food that we took home so that we didn’t even have to be there we ended up throwing it in the trash! Reviews was made on 08/24/2025 and this morning around 2am 08/25/2025 I’m rushed to hospital to find out I had food poisoning! As a response from the business you can obviously see they don’t take pride in their business, no accountability and stated what I’ve ALREADY posted prior. Poor management instead of taking the time to make...

Went today on my birthday for the first time. If I could give more stars I sure would. From the time my husband and I walked in we were greeted. They took us to our seats and helped us right away. The staff is so kind, excellent customer service. If you need something or have a question they are there, no waiting on someone to come around. And let me say, the atmosphere is so much fun. They have a jukebox, and the music is jamming. I felt like getting up to dance lol. And hands down, the best seafood around town. I give 5 stars and more. Food has so much flavor and the seafood boil had me saying Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm and Mmmmm, I'm speechless. My husband had the shrimp basket and fries. Delicious! The fries are so good, I haven't tasted fries that good anywhere. Everything we ate was delicious. What more could you ask for. Good food, good people, good atmosphere. You need to come and eat here. We are already planning to go back again. They have my business for sure. I hope they stay in business, because most places around here don't last. We need to keep them in business, because they are...

The restaurant has a nice setup with booths for couples and tables for larger groups.

We ordered the boiled seafood platter but asked to remove the sausage and boiled eggs that usually come with it. Unfortunately, they don’t allow substitutions or reduce the price, which was disappointing. I added mussels with Cajun sauce to the order. The platter came with shrimp, two small potato pieces, half a corn, one lobster tail, and a very cheap snow crab with barely any meat.

I specifically requested no spice, but the food was extremely spicy with a terrible aftertaste. The flavor was so strong that the metallic taste stayed in our mouths all night and even the next day, making us feel nauseous.

As someone who loves seafood and has tried it in places like New York, Dubai, Maine, and Connecticut, I can honestly say this was the worst experience I’ve had. The seasoning was strange, the food quality was poor, and the price did not match what we received.

I will definitely not be coming back. Stay away...
