Rex's Seafood and Market - Dallas, Texas

Es un lugar muy agradable, y comida deliciosa.

En mi última visita tuvimos una experiencia no muy grata con el servicio.
Pudiera decir que el personal es o realmente amable y saben tratar a los comensales, o hay algunos que quizás porque tuvieron malos días son muy apáticos e incluso maleducados porque no prestan atención a lo que estas pidiendo, o se marchan antes de que terminen de tomar la orden.

Aún así, es un restaurante que vale mucho la pena, la comida está deliciosa, todo en el menú es muy bueno. Y gracias a que la comida es muy buena, he ido en repetidas ocasiones, y seguiré yendo.

Let me start by just saying that this was my experience… Not everybody else will have or has had this experience. For starters at 6:45 PM the restaurant was pretty packed which to me is a great sign of a great place to eat or drink. This was a birthday dinner, however didn’t feel like one. Ordered two drinks one for each of us and the drinks were excellent then we ordered appetizers and the appetizers were sooooo good, the presentation was great. The main entrées were excellent.. my recommendation, the fish and chips, you can never go wrong and they do a pretty damn good job with fish and chips. Now I will tell you on observing the atmosphere of Rex’s… watching the manager go to different tables and ask them how their meal was or how everything is going. I was sure that he or she would stop by and ask us how our experience was going so far, not to mention that it was a birthday dinner. We got nothing, looked at us on occasion but never came over to us…. As for our waiter, not very personable. Didn’t talk about any specials just very straight to the point… drinks… Appetizers, entrées, and dessert nothing else. Don’t get me wrong everything from the drinks to the appetizers to the main entrées was excellent at least that was my experience for the food so definitely the food is well worth it however, the personable experience not so great at all. Let me be clear the waiter got a good tip because the food was outstanding. What was so interesting is that the person that took the reservation over the phone made sure to note on the reservation that this was a birthday dinner.

Fantastic service and excellent food. Our server went above and beyond and the second my business partner and I’s drink were made our server was unfortunately busy so the bartender himself came and delivered the drinks. They went above and beyond and I will be frequently visiting this spot now. I highly recommended this place to anyone that has a finer pallet and wants to experience the nicer things in life.

It is one of the best seafood restaurants in Dallas. I used to go to the one when it was located off Inwood and Lovers. This new location is better, though. The food is always fresh, although the kitchen can get hung up at times. Waiters could be a little more attentive, but other than that, I come for the food, and it rarely disappoints. The snow crab fingers were next level, and the lobster brioche was amazing. Go here, you won't be sorry.

Excellent food. Excellent service. The only deficiency is the atmosphere/ambiance, which is more fast food than expensive restaurant. It does not affect the food and service but some might object to paying so much and not getting expensive looking ambiance. I'm not bothered by it but I think people should know.

Everything was SMACK and FRESH! The Blackened Tuna and the Flounder SMACK; It had great flavors, and the sauces that were added were not over running the main course. I personally loved the cauliflower mash potatoes. Great & chilled vibes to celebrate ? LOVED OUR WAITOR!
5 STARS coming back soon for the fresh fish market!! ✨️ ✨️✨️

Ok so we go on a trip each year on my lovely bride’s birthday. This year destination was Dallas Tx.
Now I have to admit my ignorance at how much water is in or around or very close to this area. So the freshness of the seafood and the abundance of it was lost to myself. So we ate at this wonderful establishment on our last full day in town.
We had at this point at every fried option of food you could think of to include chicken, fish, shrimp and was just wanting something fresh that wasn’t fried lol.
So we had a lot of places to pick from but most it seem had more friend options than grilled which this being Texas doesn’t surprise me any. But Rex’s was different and you could have it your way.
So we headed there. There are 2 locations and we thought we had picked the one closest to us but that was not the case but it turned out to be a great mistake on our part.
From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed as if we were the most important people in the place all though there were a lot of regulars in the building.
Once seated Amber our server came by and indicated that she would be right with us. She came back and took our drink order and explained to us how things worked. She gave us a little cheat sheet with the specials and sides that were on the menu.
We could have things our way all we had to do was ask and she would work it out. We got busy looking at the menu and decided to start things off with a shrimp cocktail and a house salad with the dressing on the side. When the prep staff didn’t do that Amber took it back and replaced it as it was intended with no fuss I was impressed.
My wife ordered alaskan king crab and she explained what a pound of them would look like and the price. It’s at current market prices. That night it was 65.00 a pound. We got her a pound. I had been wanting to try the Red Snapper and Amber explained the food profile of the fish. Indicated it would be more like a breast of chicken being a little on the drier side that if I wanted something with a little more wet content the red fish would be a better option or I could do a fillet of both. Hmmmmm see my way lol. I went with the snapper with the house sauce. Our daughter with the crab pasta that was filled with lump crab. It was very tasty and yes I tried it.
Our friends went with the shrimp salad grilled of course and the hubby went with the scallops which come with 4 of them. But you can order additional ones if you wanted for about 7 dollars each. Love options. Amber had them down without even looking lol.
The crab legs and the salad came out first because my wife split my snapper with me.
They were exceptional now most time my wife would be upset because they had split the shell but not this time. The guys/gals in the back know what they are doing. The meat in the crab legs was succulent and flavorful. The shrimp salad looked good as did Sharlena’s house salad.
As the food started arriving all talking ceased as everyone was yumming over their plates and wanting to taste what was across from each other lol. Like I said I did with everything but the scallops and the shrimp salad. The crawfish hush puppies were great as was the fish.
So now for my comments about this place. First don’t let it being in a strip mall fool you. This is just a good as the big fancy restaurant that charges 100+ for the same food. The level of service there rivals any that we received while in Dallas. The fact that you can pick out the fish you want or leave it up to them is an awesome option.
They make a good old fashion which is great too.
If you’re ever in town please check Rex’s out. We will be back again even if we are just passing through.
Amber thank your for all your knowledge and information you provided. And the level of service you gave. Your teammates were awesome to when they came by as well. Your boss have gems and I just want him to know we are grateful for it.

Such a fan of this place! Cheesy grits, lobster Mac and cheese, and soups are not to be missed. We also liked the salmon on special topped with coconut shrimp and purple hull peas. The bread pudding was quite good. Service is always the best... we love the staff. Pro tip - Wine bottles are half off on Wednesday’s.
