Fish Daddy's Grill House located in College Station, Tx.
The parking lot is a wee bit on the small side, but this is common for the restaurants in this shopping center. However being that it was the middle of the day and during the week we were able to find a good parking spot immediately. We were also sat immediately, which with a kiddo (or more) in tow is always a plus for us.
The restaurant was very open inside, there was really no seating that I saw that really offered any intimate seating. They had a large statue of a mermaid in the middle, totally neat, and a large fresh water fish tank. It would seem that they have a full bar, but since I did not order anything from it I can not be certain of this. (Hey it was the middle of the day!) A downfall was that they did not seem to have a true childrens menu with crayons or anything... it was on the adult menu. That isn't the end of the world though ;)
The waiter arrived quickly, was friendly, and prompt during our entire meal. We had chips and queso to start which was quite good. It was waiter recommended and did not disappoint. For a meal my daughter had the catfish. She did not eat the catfish at all but I am all for her trying new things. My husband and I shared the rainbow trout and shrimp platter. We got the trout blackened and added a side salad to our meal. The side salad was nicer than your run of the mill side salads with candied nuts and apples. I ordered blue cheese dressing, but apparently they serve a blue cheese vinaigrette. The vinaigrette was not bad, but not really blue cheesy enough for my taste.
The meal itself was ok. It didn't knock our socks off or anything, but it wasn't bad. Everything was cooked well. However the best part of the meal was the end. We shared a slice of key lime pie and it was delish. The bill was only 48 dollars without tip, but I tipped the waiter pretty well because he did an awesome job. My father was there as well and had a steak combo. I was floored with how inexpensive it seemed because we seem to walk about of restaurants paying quite a bit more.
All in all, I would recommend this place and would try it again. I would order something different though. I think there was a lot more selection and they got a lot of things right.
