I had a quick work trip to Henderson, NC and wanted to dine at a local favorite. One of my college friends recommend 220. The parking lot was packed when I arrived so that made me excited to see what the hype was all about. It’s a typical NC seafood restaurant with no flair or distracting decor. You come here for the food, to run into old friends and family, and to get a feel for the community.
My table for one was promptly greeted by my friendly waitress. I explained it was my first time so she walked me through the menu. I usually drink water when I eat, but today called for a sweet tea. It was definitely sweet tea, with plenty of ice and sugar. But it was not too sweet where it is thick like syrup or over brewed. It was perfect.
I ordered a combo of fried flounder and popcorn shrimp. She brought me coleslaw and hush puppies to nibble on while I waited for my entree. The hush puppies were golden brown fried goodness with a hint of sweetness. My entree was fried hard (or extra crunchy) with plenty of Texas Pete (the only hot sauce that really matters), cocktail, and tarter on the side. The fish was a bit under seasoned for me. I am a VA girl and we sprinkle a little old bay on everything… lol. It was piping hot and cooked just the way I ordered.
The next time I’m in Henderson I will stop in again and try another type of fish. The table beside me ordered the trout and it looked really tempting. And if you have non-seafood eaters in your party don’t worry they have them...
Read moreI must express how delighted I was dining here at 220 Seafood Restaurant in Henderson, North Carolina on 11-5-21. This restaurant has a cozy and very family and friendly meal service style that makes you feel at home and comfortable. Every person that works for this establishment will provide you with top shelf customer service, the hostess, the cashier, the busser, the servers. It was a pleasure to be treated with such friendly and quality care the entire time of my visit. The food is very fresh, and tasty. I have had the opportunity to try out several different menu items over many visits. Everything on the menu here is a delight to eat. All of the fish dishes are fresh, buttery and cooked to perfection. I was absolutely blown away with the excellent customer service provided by the waitress Sandra. She was pleasant, friendly, caring, attentive, at ease, and very happy to look out for her customers. Sandra should set up training courses on how to be a top restaurant server.
But I must admit that everyone including all of the waitress here provide top quality customer service. The menu prices are very reasonable and just right for the quality service and great taste of...
Read moreI moved to the west coast over 20 yrs ago and I don't remember ever coming here, but it's quite possible that I have a long time ago. Anyway, the food was delicious and the service was friendly. My only regret is not ordering the all-you-can-eat fish!
I went with my mom, my cousin and her bf. My mom and I ordered the "choose any 5." We got big shrimp, little shrimp, fried oysters, fish, and scallops.
These were the biggest scallops I'd ever seen in my life. The fish and shrimp were both seasoned and fried to perfection. All of our orders also came with fries, hush puppies, and Cole slaw.
Me and mom's orders were about 18 bucks each. The all you can eat fish was cheaper with heaping portions of unlimited fish fresh out of the fryer, for about 12 bucks. All I can say is I wish I ordered that! What a deal. I will be going back when I visit again.
The waiter "mistakenly" over charged my cousin and her bfs order by about 30 bucks or so, and there was a slight dispute over that, but it was...
