Food was great. Fresh and affordable. Our server was great! Very kind and attentive. My grandma used to take me here as a kid and it was a nostalgic place for me. I am glad I had such a good experience.

Dale’s Seafood is a great place for delicious food. The portion sizes are quite generous and the prices are very reasonable. The food is great tasting and the servers are friendly and efficient. We usually get the regular seafood platters. It’s more than we can eat and will bring leftovers home that warm up great in the air fryer. One trip to the salad bar comes with most meals. The salad bar is fresh and has lots of options. Oh, and hush puppies / corn dodgers come with your meal! Whatever you want to call them, they aren’t to be missed! If you haven’t been because you can’t imagine how a seafood restaurant in Tabor City could be as good as one at the beach, you’re missing out. As a local all my life and generations deep, I can tell you this is where the locals go. You won’t be disappointed.

Best deluxe seafood platter that I have eaten! Generous portions, with plenty left to bring home, that also came with one trip to salad bar. The sweet tea so good, just sweet enough so you could taste the tea. All this for only 20.00. Great & friendly service. Awesome server.

Walked in when they first opened and was quickly sat. Waitress was very nice and attentive. I had 2 of their lunch specials so I could try them out and also the salad bar came with one of them. I had the Fish and Shrimp with fries.. it was good but I did have several bones left in the fish which can be frustrating. For the other dish I had the Beef Tips which were tasty. Not sure if they cook them to temp but they were tasty for the most part. The prices were very fair 11 for each special. I would definitely check them out if you're in the area.
