Reviews Summary

John's Seafood garners praise for its authentic seafood, particularly the catfish and shrimp, and its homemade tartar sauce. However, several reviews highlight significant issues with customer service, order accuracy, and food preparation, leading to disappointment for some patrons.

"This food is outstanding! Real catfish filets, not a filet cut into strips. That homemade tarter sauce is great as well. The shrimp are big and they taste great. It's a small place with no public restrooms but it has 2 drive thru windows. One on each side of the building. There is outdoor seating. This is great."

"Went to Johns Seafood on N. Market on January 29th, 2025. First, every time I go I don't know if the Asian staff or the African American staff will be there, and it is crazy that as a Black woman, I hope to pull up and see the Asian staff because the experience, even though slower is always more pleasant. However, on this specific day, the African American crew was there and no one came to the speaker, no problem, it is an older place where the speaker might not be working, so my husband and I pulled up to the window, and a guy was standing in view to see us with his arms folded and did not acknowledge us or the car that pulled off in front of us. It was really disheartening to see my people run a business like that, it was really an ugh-low-class type of moment. Acknowledgment takes a second, disappointing customers at a small business can be detrimental. Do better or let the Asians do it full-time. Seriously"

"Just went here for lunch the guy at the window customer service is horrible and unwelcoming no friendly hellos or thanks you after handing me my order after I have spent my hard earn money there for lunch . Guy at window very non chalant. Fries were either double dipped in grease or grease was old . The fries were hard. The fish was okay not best I will never return here"
