TrYSeafood Grill in Cary. It's a super casual spot, seating's tight, so be prepared for that.
Tye service was solid, no complaints there. And they've got a decent variety of seafood, which is always a plus. Everything was seasoned just right, and the fried right
Was crispy, not greasy at all. Big win! If you're looking for a no-fuss seafood fix.

The food here is absolutely worth any wait that you have to go under. We pulled up to the spot around 7:20, there was a line and it was getting full inside as well, so I put in my order online instead of in person at the register. We didn’t … More

Seeing food reviews on social media does not always hold true. However, TrYSeafood did not disappoint. Everything we ordered was delicious. We ordered flounder, wings, yams, okra, Mac-n-cheese, plantain, and the honey butter cornbread. Service was great as well. We will certainly return to dine again. More

I am definitely a true fan of this restaurant! I will be going there so frequently but I have only been about five times so far now lol the food is amazing and the service is top-tier! My waitresses name was Monet and she had excellent customer service and had excellent recommendations for my group. I wish I had more pictures of the food, but I definitely recommend the fried snapper and the lobster mac & cheese I’ve never had anything like it before. The turkey wings on Sunday were amazing and I literally cannot describe to you. How good the food is you have to go and try for yourself!

Had the whole red snapper, really good. Okra cooked perfectly, I prefer a little more salt on my Okra, but it was perfect. Mac and cheese is really good. Smaller sized place but plenty of seating if it's not busy. Overall, excellent place. More

First time visiting. Food was amazing! Service was top notch. So popular that they do run out of options later in the day. Steady stream of business with tons of take out orders. We will definitely add this place in our dinner rotation. Not a lot of indoor seating. Outdoor seating is also available.

Even though my calamari was accidentally left off my initial order, the experience more than made up for it. The grilled salmon burger was absolutely divine—so mouthwatering that I couldn't even pause to snap a picture before diving in. The flavors were fresh and perfectly balanced, leaving a lasting impression. As visitors from South Carolina, we felt warmly welcomed, and this restaurant truly became a highlight of our trip. I can’t wait for the chance to return whenever we're in town again. It’s the kind of place that feels like a little gem you’re lucky to find.

I have to agree with another review I saw for this place. I think you could put a blindfold on and pick anything on the menu and it would be amazing! You get generous portions on the seafood. Tried the salmon, scallops, shrimp, and blackened catfish and they were all delicious. They do their cornbread and hush puppies a bit different than what you might expect from 'traditional' recipes but are both definitely worth trying. Great place! Will definitely be back.

My first time was today on a Saturday.
The dine in area was smaller than I expected but I did get seated.
Other options if the weather is nice tables are outside.
Food was really delicious and freshly prepared..
I had the jumbo shrimp and they are jumbo plus two sides.
the staff was amazing and I will definitely be back to try the snapper… table next to me was having snapper it looked soooo good!
The staff was amazing and courteous!

I visited this restaurant on 10/18 and arrived at 5:15 PM. I didn’t get to place my order until around 6:15 PM, and we didn’t receive our food until about 7:15 PM. This was easily one of the most unorganized restaurant experiences I’ve ever had. It looked like there was a major backup with orders, and they even had to stop accepting online orders.
During that entire time, only about four people in front of me were able to order. That means it was taking roughly 20 minutes per person just to place an order, even though the line was out the door. Something in their ordering or kitchen system is clearly broken because there’s no reason guests should be waiting that long just to be acknowledged.
When we finally got our food, we ordered two entrées and a few sides. Unfortunately, everything was pretty underwhelming. The greens, mac and cheese, and yams didn’t have much flavor. The best thing we had was the fried shrimp. Especially considering we got there at 5:15 and didn’t eat until 7:15, the food really needed to be jaw-dropping to make up for the wait, but it just wasn’t.
This also doesn’t seem to be a one-time issue, as it appeared that the delays started earlier in the day and continued throughout the night. Something in their process really needs to change. I’ve seen good reviews on here and on TikTok, so I’d be willing to give them another try, but I’ll probably choose a weekday to avoid whatever happened today.

This place was so good! I’m always looking for a good seafood spot. I had the shrimp rice, collard greens and fried whole snapper. My husband had the fried Jumbo shrimp and fries. The owner also suggested the blueberry cornbread which was delicious. The service was outstanding. We will definitely be back to try more items on the menu.

The food was amazing. Honestly, you could put on a blindfold, point at the menu, and whatever your finger lands on is going to be delicious. The owner was incredibly sweet, which made the experience even better. I’m definitely going back!
If I had one small suggestion, it would be to expand the space and bring on a few more staff members, they deserve the growth.
