"Scratch" Kitchen the Best by Garson on 3/19/2012 via Citysearch
As many folks know, the best dishes start with the best ingredients. This is one area where the Gulf Rim is excellent: good food prepared with care. I generally order off of the specials menu, but the staples are consistent and reliable.…

Poor food, poor service, poor health score by Joshhy on 3/8/2011 via Citysearch
Well we were seated rather fast, the only positive I have from our experience. Though, I wish we had been seated somewhere without a view of the kitchen. The cooks looked as if they just rolled out of bed and put on yesterday's dirty…

EATERS BEWARE!!!!! by Boxerbeck0812 on 12/9/2010 via Citysearch
Dear fellow restaurant eaters: I recently went out to dinner with my wife to the Gulf Rim Cafe. Within moments of our arrival, the owner came over and sat down at our table. He proceeded to drink 4 glasses of wine and talk about…

Stick to the fish by travellingscot on 1/3/2010 via Citysearch
The food varies from mediocre to strange depending on what you order and the service is consistently poor and slow. Two of our parties plates were left sitting on the counter for more than 5 minutes; the waitress looked at them frequently…

Good food, reasonable prices by Oriole on 11/29/2009 via Citysearch
November 2009 - Shrimp and grits with andouille was very good, a little unique style. Look forward to trying the crawfish etoufee next time. Entrees very reasonably priced.

Flying Fish passes with flying colors by jmluvr5784 on 3/6/2007 via Citysearch
I would like to say how much i enjoyed my last visit to Hillsborough's Flying Fish. I took my fiance to dine there on valentine's night. We weren't able to be seated right away, as they were very busy, which is a good thing as my fiance…

Fresh seafood of the finest quality by deirdrebrett on 3/3/2007 via Citysearch
I am the manager of The Flying Fish and would like to respond to the previous review. There is no possibility that the reviewer got sick from our stew. Our seafood is always fresh and top quality. If our stew had been bad, other people…

FOOD POI$ONING - RUDE TREATMENT by jadamcrain on 2/22/2007 via Citysearch
I got food poi$oning from the seafood chowder here. Granted eating seafood has inherent risk., but I was treated very rudely by an employee when I called to warn about potentially tainted food. I wrote a letter to the owner about the…

Awesome!! by jennchap on 12/9/2006 via Citysearch
We love this restaurant. Every time we eat at the Flying Fish it gets better. We have been around--we lived in New York and Los Angeles--and this is our favorite restaurant in this area. We love the scallops, the shrimp tacos, and the…

Tasty cuisine, casual, fun experience by volive on 8/9/2006 via Citysearch
We love this restaurant. The food is unique, more labor intensive and varied than many. We love the outdoor dining option. Their service is friendly too. Try their Sunday brunch too, excellent.

not worth the price or time by cateler on 6/24/2006 via Citysearch
UGH. The fish was over cooked, the top shelf margarita had a bare hint of tequila, the fries were terrible (should have listened to the other reviewer!) and the service was below par. Our dinner came a scant 5 minutes after our…

Casual dining with a spicy twist by andrewblum on 4/6/2006 via Citysearch
I have been to this restaurant twice for dinner and four times for lunch. Dinner might be a little crowded sometimes but the service, food and price exceed my expectations. Our kids even enjoyed the food, which is a major plus. I have…

Disappointed by sipowicz on 3/4/2006 via Citysearch
We tried Flying Fish on a recent visit to Hillsborough based on favorable reviews. We didn't have the good experience some. Relatively high prices for drinks served in paper cups. Service was slow and barely adequate. We ordered…

Don't Order The Stew! by ckamsinki on 2/10/2006 via Citysearch
We ordered the skewered scallops and the fish stew I was told the Thai style squid was a sweet dish instead of a hot one so we did not get that. The stew was terrible. There was simply no flavor. The base appeared to be water and plain…

We love Flying Fish!! by chicasuerte on 1/11/2006 via Citysearch
My husband and I are regulars at The Flying Burrito in Chapel Hill, so when we heard they had a new restaurant in Hillsborough, we had to try it. It was great!! I had the shrimp tacos and he had the seafood stew, both were delicious. Our…
