The Other Seineyard - Tallahassee

The classic Southern fried seafood restaurant. Don't come here looking for anything fancy, not even as fancy as oysters on the halfshell. Come here for fried comfort food done right. I now live in Dallas but am from Tallahassee and absolutely love fried seafood of all kinds. It's getting harder and harder to find more than bland catfish fillets and popcorn shrimp, but this in-town version of the Seineyard totally delivers. We ordered fried green tomatoes, fried mullet, and fried shrimp, with sides of coleslaw and grits. Everything was absolutely perfect except for the coleslaw, which was much sweeter than I like (a matter of preference). The fried green tomatoes were a triumph, fried only on cornmeal and nicely seasoned. They were actual GREEN tomatoes, tart, firm, and completely unripe. The mullet was my favorite part: instead of bland, soulless fillets, they served the whole fish, fillets removed but backbone, fins, and tail served alongside. I don't mind eating around some bones if it meals fish this fresh and delicious! Where else can you get fried mullet these days?! Shrimp were also very lightly battered in cornmeal, and not at all overcooked. Grits were cheesy, rich, and nicely textured and we loved the hushpuppies too. If you like your coleslaw sweet, you probably won't have a problem, but next time I'll replace that order with a different side. The atmosphere is homey, simple, and comfortable. Our service was lightning-fast and food arrived in about 1/4th the amount of time I expected. Everything was served FRESHLY FRIED, piping hot. Loved it and will be back on my next trip to Tally.

This is our go to local seafood restaurant. Very comfortable if simple dining area. They do a good job with their fried seafood and their cheese grits are to die for. So creamy they are almost pudding like. If they put sugar in them they could be a dessert. I really like their fried mullet, but have also enjoyed the shrimp and oysters. The service is always good and friendly.

THE worst food ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Worst! Worst! Worst! Worst! Worst! They did not have any food! Blamed us for sending food back! Crab cake was the worst ever! If you had a negative number I will give it to them.

We tried this restaurant while driving back from a vacation. My hubby was super excited to try it. Let me start by saying that I grew up in a state on a coast. I've had good seafood. And while this may be good seafood for some, this was not good to me. Apparently, we were there during an appetizer special, so we tried several things: fried pickles, fried mushrooms, and fried green tomatoes. Without a doubt their batter had too much salt. It's all I could taste. So, the pickles were blah. The mushrooms were okay. The fried green tomatoes were pretty good (I like salt with mine, so it worked for them on this one). But, as we found out with the entrees all of their batters have way too much salt in them. Everything tasted salty to me and thus the real flavor of the seafood was lost and that's a big let down. I like to taste my seafood. I will say the one thing I did like was the fried oysters. Somehow they worked with the batter. All in all I wouldn't go back for the food. However, I will say the waitress we had was super nice and very helpful. And I always appreciate good service.

Went for my birthday dinner and they were out of mullet, flounder, popcorn shrimp and crab cakes. New waitress spilled entire glass of iced tea on my husband. 1/2 grouper plate with fried grouper, 4 shrimp, 4 oysters and 4 scallops. All were very tasty.
