    The service was amazing, and the cooked fish was good however, the breading could use more seasoning, which is why I gave the food 3 stars. Great selection of fish and sides. I recommend this place but purchase your fish and cook yourself at home.

    I ALWAYS COME HERE FOR OTHER PEOPLE... NEXT TIME I WILL BE ORDERING FOR MYSELF. THE SELECTIONS ARE NICE & MEATY. SOUNDS LIKE THEY MAY BE BETTER THAN J & J, SHARKS ETC. LOVE THE FACT THAT YOUR FOOD IS DROPPED UPON ARRIVAL. ALWAYS GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE & VERY CLEAN

    It's been over 10 yrs since I have been here. Not quite the same quality but pretty close. Food was tasty!

    I absolutely love it here. Fresh fresh food. Scallops are my favorite. They are pricey but I will pay for the quality no problem. They have a side to pick fresh fish to frog and they have another side for cooking it. I trust my cooking so I took my Scallops and frog legs and made them myself but it's absolutely a go to place for me for fresh sea food. Side note, I cooked surf and turf Scallops -clean Scallops and dry them - get a pan on HIGH HIGH heat - place dry Scallops in the pan for about a minute and 25 seconds but do not pick them up and check for browning -after the 1.25 then turn them to the other side -let them sit for a minute. -add truffle oil (or fresh fat from bacon), butter, lemon juice (fresh) and rosemary (fresh) and spread it continuously over the Scallops for about 30 seconds -serve right after with mushroom Risotto

    tried out this restaurant for the first time and there an older man behind the counter with grey/white hair. i was wanting to know more about the pound and price of the shrimps and was asked in response ''how much do you know about shrimps'' and ''what is your age'' by this man i don't know if he was the manager or what after this encounter he asked me to go to another register to be taken care of by someone else this is the worst experience i ever had in a restaurant this personal is extremely rude

    Been coming here w/my parents mostly during Lent. But always a great treat anytime. My favorites are extra large fried shrimp, fried catfish filets, fried scallops, garlic bread, crab salad. Love that they have the hot sauces and shrimp dip and desserts by register to top off your meals. No one tops DiColas !

    I finally made it in today. It's kinda hard for me to stop in here. I frequent the area a lot but won't be driving home until running a few errands. By that time they'll be closed. Or I'll call ahead and they won't have what I want. I typically get the catfish steaks unbreaded and sometimes some perch. Anyhow, I happen to agree with many of the recent reviews that the standard of quality has fallen. One time not too long ago, they only had breaded catfish steaks. I decided to get those and fry them up myself at home. I'll never do that again. It just didn't fry up as I expected. I don't know if it would've turned out better had I let them fry it up. I can count on my hand the number of times that I let them cook the fish and it was always a great experience. I chalked it up to their breading and my fryer just didn't gel together. Myself and others would eat in the car. We never had any complaints. But this was well over 5 years ago maybe longer since we had the food freshly cooked. I remember when they didn't cook it. And I used to wish they were open on Sundays. My last issue is with the unbreaded catfish steaks. All they have is horseshoe pieces. They must be sourcing from a different vendor but I know what I used to buy. And it wasn't all horseshoe pieces and they were bigger. Now I can get the same size pieces of catfish including real catfish steaks that Dicola's is selling at Market Fisheries on 7129 S. State and for half the price of what Dicola's is charging. You pick out the whole catfish and they chop it however you want your steaks for $4.49. I had just grabbed some the other day. You can even do better going to your local Jewel Foods. I'm referring to catfish only. That's how I know corners have been cut here at Dicola's. I would gladly pay more if it's worth it. But it isn't anymore. The more I think about it, I feel like I was robbed today at Dicola's.

    Staff was friendly, service was slow, I called in my order and still had to wait 30 minutes for my food, they did not start it until I got there, and it was prepaid. I have been living away for some years came home and decided to try it again, I remember it being better.

    I was ordering king crab legs for New Years when the owner approached me informing me that there were king crab claws in the freezer for $50 less a pound!!!! Im totally impressed with the honesty shown by the owner. We ordered ocean perch and had it cooked there. So delicious and fresh! Thank you Mr. DiCola!
