4. Landry's Seafood House

i was very shocked when I received my 6 fried shrimps on my plate they were med. size but the waiter said they were jumbo sized before i ordered them.The Restaurant is very nice as far as looks and nice outside tables but they are very over priced for the food you receive. We were there for lunch and the bill was 35.00. I received 6 med shrimps, onionring strings that were awful and a side of steak french fries. about 10 fries. My husband had cat fish and onion strings and just reg old steak fries on his plate and a bowl of house salad came with the meal in a big bowl which you share We were very disappointed with the fast food taste served up on a fancy plate. You are better off going to a fast food restaurant and save some money for fun and games, then going to Landry's Seafood Restaurant and being disappointed like we were. Yes the service was great from the server but it just better be for the money you pay. Oh by the way the dinner menu is twice as much as the lunch menu is for the same meal. We are so glad we decided to go for lunch and not dinner! Seafood lovers BEWARE unless you just want to give them a donation like we did!

From the almost unwashed table that smelled like an old dishrag to the less than fresh crabmeat---Absolutely one of the worst seafood places ever and the service was the pits. We thought about writing a letter to their corporate office but we were afraid that they would try to give us a free dinner. One word of advice-- DON'T!

We have dined at Landry's many times and always enjoyed the food and service. Because of this we had our wedding rehearsal dinner in the back room and patio. The night was a huge success and the food, service and view were perfect!!!

In my opinion, Landry's has the best seafood in the Tampa Bay area.

On March 13, 2004, I decided that to celebrate giving my fiancé her engagement ring, we would dine at Landry's, since we had heard a few recommendations about the restaurant. Unfortunately, our experience was a near total disaster. The worst offense was when we first arrive. When my fiancé told the mâitre d' that we had JUST gotten engaged, his response was, "That may be, but the wait is still an hour and a half." That was it! We knew we had to wait, but were horrified by his rude tone and comment--we did not expect special treatment. We did not, however, expect to be treated so poorly. When we finally were seated, the meal was, at best, average. While the server was efficient, we had to send back both dishes because they were lukewarm. To our amazement, the cappuccino we ordered was ALSO sent back and it returned NOT freshly made, but heated in a microwave. Sadly, this dinner ruined what should have been a perfect evening. We had been to Bern's Steakhouse before, and knew how wonderful it was, but we wanted to try something new. We will NOT make that mistake again!

This restaurant is excellent! The food quality is only surpassed by the service. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!
