What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Pisgah Fish Camp offers a comforting, old-fashioned dining experience with a focus on seafood and Southern sides. Many praise the fresh, flavorful dishes like grilled trout and exceptional onion rings, alongside unique sides. However, some reviews mention slow service and inconsistent food temperature, with one diner noting a strong 'fishy' taste in the flounder.
"The trout and the flounder (got the smaller serving) were amazing!!! As were all the sides we ordered… Lexi was a delightful server… would happily take a long detour to find my way back here in the future."

":: GRILLED TROUT, DELICIOUS VEGGIES ::
My girlfriend and I both had the grilled trout, which was pretty good for the price. They have homemade dill sauce that we both enjoyed.
The vegetables were quite good. My girlfriend got the baked sweet potato and green beans. I got the fried okra and green beans.
Those green beans were fantastic - they definitely used bacon and seasoning, so we both wanted more."

"The food was alright, you certainly get enough of it. Nothing to write home about. Onion rings were great. Didn't care for the plasticky mac n cheese. The Covid procedures (like waiting outside for a hostess but then being ushered in to a bench to wait) seemed silly, but I'm sure they were just trying their best. That was in June 2021, perhaps it has changed. Waiter was an absolute doll. Nice they're open normal hours unlike the restaurants downtown. That's why we ended up there."
