Reviews for Esco Seafood in Atlanta, GA
I’m from Chicago and have been following EscoSeafood on Instagram for over a year. The mouthwatering pics of your seafood... dishes were to die for making my list of “MUST Do” things on my Atlanta vacation. You can imagine how excited I was to go tothe restaurant with my girlies for lunch on Wednesday 6-8-22. I was totally disappointed with the food. We ordered the calamariappetizer and it was cooked too hard, my girlfriends ordered the mussels which were also over cooked and extremely dry. Theirbroccoli was over cooked and all the food was too salty. Our drinks were decent but the main entree the Chainz 2 by 2 of Salmonand shrimp was horribly dry, burnt and overcooked as well. The shrimp were decent but the salmon was so dry it literally chokedyou!!!!! Any good experienced seafood chef should know how to cook salmon. We complained about the food and was told by thewaiter that “you all still ate the food”. We simply asked him to let the cook know and perhaps redo our food order. Ofcourse the waiter didn’t let us know about your “You Order It. You pay for It” Absolutely No refunds Policy!!!! The subparseafood was overpriced and overcooked. Totally disappointed and upset that we had no choice on gratuity since it isautomatically added to the check. Your concept is great and I love supporting our black businesses. Please accept thisconstructive criticism and address making corrective changes. Read more
I'm going to start by saying that the food was delicious! But the service.... whew! SLOOOOWWWWW! It took a solid 30 mins for us... to get our drinks and our hookah. It took another 30 mins to get our food. I didn't get any pics of the food because afterwaiting for an hour to get it, I was starving. The waitress was very friendly but she didn't check on us often. I had to keeptrying to get her attention. I ordered the Castleberry fish bowl, but she rang up the more expensive El Patron fish bowl. Ittook so long to get the drink that I just took it. It was good but it was really just a big $45 32oz margarita, and it wasn'tstrong. The hookah was good. One of our orders was incorrect because it was rang in incorrectly, but it took so long to get thefood that we just took that too. $175 later and we had a wrong drink, wrong food order and slow service. It was a nice vibe, butthey should definitely work on the service. Everything here is way too expensive for the service to be subpar. Update: I'vegone back a few times and the service has improved A LOT! I've never been upstairs, so I can't speak on that, but servicedownstairs has improved for sure Read more
The place has GREAT service. But the food is GROSS! It all tasted like water! From the shrimp and crab legs! The fries was hard!... No seasonings, what so ever! And last but not least! The menu is trash, if you want a bucket it ONLY comes with the meat…. NOCORN NO POTATOES just the meat and it’s OVER PRICED !!! Read more
Where should one start... ifffffff you want to go to the ghetto and be fancy this is YOURRRRRR spot!!!! Price matches the... area... NOT... but the food was good... well the food I had... my counter was dissatisfied with the wings but said the dirtyrice was EXCEPTIONAL. I had the Caption Snoop because, crablegs and shrimp.... It was a nice size, the stuffed crab was a greatsize and very flavorful, the shrimp were a nice size and cooked well ... think it's a joke that it comes with fries and it's $11more for corn and potatoes when that's in fact what people would want... but overall filling... The service was slow... more interms of the wait time for food in a place with 3 sat tables and two had already been sat before we entered... Oh n the winecame in a ghetto cup lol but it's cool I drank it... Read more
Very nice establishment. Staff is great. Small but there are two floors, downstairs is basic and chill, upstairs is cute and... comfortable with VIP sections. Both floors have full service bars. Food took a while to come out (2 hours) but was decent. Read more

I get it EVERY TIME! ??????????????? Staff/girls are dope and fun! Al and Gregdefinitely help set the tone for the place! ???????? Read more
To start, the food here is amazing! I have tried a number of things on the menu and everything, each time, is just as delicious.... They also have great music playing and it gives you a relaxed, neighborhood feel. The staff is nice and at night it becomes moreof a lounge upstairs with a live DJ and the lights being dimmed. I continue to frequent because I cannot stay away from tryingeach item on the menu when I am craving seafood. Read more
