Dan’s Seafood & Chicken

LOVE. THIS. PLACE.
If you are looking for good, hot, fresh and delicious food, look no more! I have been coming here since highschool. I will be 30 soon! The quality of the food has not changed. It is still amazing. They are also friendly here!
I normally order their fried fish with fried rice. DELICIOUS! I also love their grilled shrimp!
One thing to note is that the food is cooked when you order it. I normally go through their drive through when I visit Dan’s. I am always asked to park. That is no problem for me. I don’t mind at all. I’d rather have my food cooked fresh. It takes them about 5 to 10 minutes to bring it out to you after ordering.
My only con are their fries. They just don’t taste like anything. I wish they would change the fries they serve. Other than that, I highly recommend this place!

I haven’t had anything other than the fried oysters, and fish with fries. The oyster are delicious. The way they handle the drive through could be better but I have had pleasant experience both times I went there.

We were very happy to discover this spot. Our dinner specials were so hooked up, we couldn’t eat it all in a sitting. We reheated the next day into po’ boys and whoooa was it bomb. Did someone say fried oysters?

Love their catfish, love their sauces, their tea is the best! You can not go wrong here!

I gave it two tries. I really wanted to like this place. The food here is made to order. The people are friendly and the portions are generous, but the food just doesn’t stand out. Everything seems coated with the same batter, so everything tastes the same. The shrimp tastes like the chicken. The chicken tastes like the fries: bland. No hint of seasoning. Maybe if they fried in peanut oil instead of vegetable, the food would be more flavorful.

Great little gem with a variety of different culture foods all made by Dan Dan the chicken man! Very reasonable prices! Wonderful tea! Great food! Love my lunches here when I’m in town!

First of all I always go here so I was very surprised to have to go through what I did. I ordered a 6pc fish family meal and a chicken fried rice. Once I got home realized I was missing two pieces of fish and my fries. I called up there immediately. A young woman answered and put the phone down. Now, the phone is busy for over an hour. So, I call my husband and ask him to go and get the order corrected. They told him they never sold a 6pc fish. I proceeded to take the receipt up there now mind you I’m still calling and the phone is still busy. Once I arrived they looked at my receipt and still didn’t want to correct my order. Because I described the wrong size to go container they put the food in. Even after the lady in drive thru confirmed I was there. I was called a liar by the old lady & she even had the nerve to talk to other customers about me. This one time has absolutely made me not ever want to come back. On top of everything they know me I’m there every other week. Alot of people have complained about them while I was ordering in the past. But, i had to see for myself & that’s ridiculous that they would have an all out argument because you’re to cheap to fix my order you confirmed you screwed up. They need to take classes on customer service. Because that is not how you run a business… thank you

Had the catfish nuggets… holy catfish! I am originally from the Mississippi Delta and this is as good as back home. Generous portions, flavorful, crisp awesomeness.
If you love catfish, do your tummy a favor. Oms and noms.

First time so we went for a fish, shrimp, oyster and fries combo along with the fried catfish. For the sides we went with fried okra and hush puppies.
The portions are generous. The tarter sauce and the cocktail sauce served their intended purposes.
Shrimp and fish were good. I have had better oysters. Don’t even bother with the fries. Fried okra was good and the hush puppies we I have had better.
As I mentioned the portions were so generous we didn’t even get to the catfish.
3 Stars says it all. I will go back to sample more but other restaurants are calling.

The grilled chicken with yellow rice and salad is always what I order here. They actually cook your meal after ordering so it’s hot and fresh. The chicken is so good!

Food cane out really hot Wichita is good. I ordered the catfish and shrimp. The fish season was good the fish was crisp with good flavor and the shrimp was great I will be back

We eat here quite a bit. Great food and they always remember us. I love that. I love the grilled shrimp very good and the hubby loves the smoothies.
They have a drive through the food is still not fast, it is not supposed to be. It works for me cause I have the littles.
If you like seafood. Try them out.

First attempt at Dan’s. Let’s talk about this: there’s plenty of parking, outside seating and the place is CLEAN. Walking inside I catch the smell of fried deliciousness. Warmly greeted upon entry I ordered #22 catfish filet, 3 oysters and 3 shrimp. Also ordered the chicken tenders, fried okra, hushpuppies and two egg rolls… I couldn’t contain my eyes. I would’ve gotten one of those juicy pickles too but I already ordered enough food for a small army. (Don’t hate I wanted to be thorough) so the food arrived. *Warning* Dan’s is super generous on proportions. I manages to at least eat a bite of everything. The chicken tenders were lightly beaded (my preference) fresh and delicious. The shrimp, seriously IF the were previously frozen I am impressed. The catfish and fried okra are equally as delicious. Granted the place was packed, my only «eh it’s okay» moment involved the hushpuppies and egg rolls. The puppies we’re bland and the egg rolls were overcooked. Otherwise I’m astonished that I’ve passed by this joint for more than 12 months and shrugged it off. Conclusion: 4 stars, we’ll be back!

Everything is well seasoned and the combo plates are really delicious. I wish they had a bigger seating area, but the patio outside makes up for it.

I’ve been by this place tons of times and have even picked up food for someone else but today i decided to try it myself. The pricing was pretty good and the fried rice portion size is enough for three meals. I also tried the strawberry fruit smoothie, loved it!!! Tasted like strawberries in a straw. Super good.

So glad we found this little place. I have been looking for good fried oysters and southern style catfish for a long time. Great food and great price. Just wish it was a little closer to home.

The young man who took my order told me, if you can name it they can cook it!
Which I can believe! They have everything on the menu.
I order the 10 piece catfish nugget and 6 fried shrimp.
The food was cooked to order and I really like that. The employees seem to enjoy their jobs too. Everyone working there was friendly and seem to have great spirits.
The front end was clean and they had plenty of menus all over so you cannot miss anything.
The restaurant was also very clean.
I know that this is a place I will return.

Thank you Unilocal for another gem!
I am completely confused. Although catfish are in lakes all over DFW, where in the heck do the shrimp come from??? What sort of witchcraft is this?
Dan runs the counter and his family works the drinks, fryer, and drive thru.
I ordered the catfish and shrimp combo, and although it is expensive for lunch ($ 12.99), the portions are huge.
Everything tasted great.
With limited options in east Fort Worth, this place is worth stopping in.

Ahhhhh deep dish fried egg rolls and cole slaw, how do I love thee???
Even after 3 years, still deeply, madly, sincerely, when I have a secret craving for fresh fried heaven, this is where we go.
And the apple pie — oh seriously YUM. The gargantuan ginormous shrimp are tasty sinful delights as well… you gotta come and try out the food.
Food is terrific — the hubby’s fav is the MONSTER giant fish filet and fries, though he sometimes get cole slaw for a change (which is as good as my moms, though I won’t tell her that).
And sincere love for Dan and his sweet staff continues as well — always cheerful, happy to see us and quick to give extra condiments or napkins w a smile.
We drive through and bring home to feast. Great location easily accessible on the easy side of Ft Worth, always always good food.

Dan’s Dan’s Dan’s…why can’t I stay away from you?
Each time I come visit, I leave feeling guilty. I know that you’re not good for me at all, but I can’t help myself. You’re made to order… you’re hot… you’re cheap. You’re flexible too. Even if I want to get a little adventurous, you are more than willing to accommodate me and whatever my taste desires that day.
I have limited options when I’m at work in Ft. Worth. I have to get out, get it, and get back quick! You always have a line when I get there, but you still don’t take long giving me my stuff and sending me on my way. Anyone in this area of Ft. Worth, and you are in a hurry, this is a definite option for you. It may not be healthy, but it’s real good!!!
P. S. The 10piece fish basket will definitely fill you up, plus it’s only 5.99!!!
P. S.S. Any fish basket is awesome, but try the tilapia… good stuff! They can either grill it for you or fry it!
