Knock Kneed Lobster

Ambiance: An older family-​style seafood restaurant, with lots of character. Some might call it worn-​down but I think it’s brimming with old school character. Patrons are 20 – 60 years olds from primarily the blue collar crowd.
Food: Obviously a ‘fish and chips’ place so most of everything is offered deep fried, including the vegetables. The deep fried cod, with deep fried okra and hush puppies were excellent. They also offer a few non fried choice like grill and baked fish fillets.
Service: You order in the front and then when your number is called you pick up. Pretty hard to mess that up but I would say everyone had a smile on and was helpful.
Overall: A great history’d restaurant that has been around forever and offers the unique ’ fish and chips’ experience.

Good ol’ fish & chips. Food was good, not greasy at all. But they are heavy on the salt (and I’m not the type thats sensitive to salt).
All of the printed papers hanging every where with their rules & such is a little over whelming.

I’ve been passing this place for years. My friend and I kept saying, we should try it. Well, today was finally the day. If you’re looking for a nice fancy seafood restaurant… This is not your place. And, you could probably tell this by the outside of the building. I wouldn’t eat there when it’s nighttime. It just doesn’t look like a good neighborhood. The restaurant is clean and has some appropriate sea décor. The young girl who took our order was friendly and welcoming. My friend had one shrimp, one fish and chips. I had one shrimp, two fish and chips. Also, we shared six hush puppies and fried okra. The shrimp was like rubber. I would not order it again. The fish was good, but lacked flavor. I was impressed that it wasn’t greasy. I would definitely get the hush puppies and fried okra again. The hush puppies were flavorful. And, the okra wasn’t slimy and had a good taste. On the way out, I noticed a customer who had fish tacos. They looked really good. So, I might go back and try a few other menu items.

The fish tacos were excellent! Light and crunchy, fresh cilantro, just a hint of spice (mango ghost pepper salsa on the side is amazing)
I want to take this place back to Nashville with me to show those salt and beans places what real tacos can be.

Fish is too thick for batter. Not best tasting but the fish tacos and the onion rings are good.

The Best Fish and Ships by far this side of the East Coast. :)

I wanted to bring a friend here, but he took a look at the menu. All it said was 8 fish, 8 chicken, 12 shrimp, nothing about lunch specials, so he wanted to go somewhere else. Too bad I could not convince him how good the food is. I bet this happens to a lot of people.

Divey (heh get it? Dive-​ey in a seafood restaur… Never mind), with lots of parking and seating. My fish was moist with crispy breAding, but the shrimp were dry little things. I also tried their fried mushrooms, zucchini, and hush puppies – all ok, but nothing really special. They do have a condiment bar so you can get as much sauce as you need. The place you go when you want to get crispy fried things.

Disgusting. What happened to this gold mine? We ordered Onion Rings and Hush puppies. Received 5 each. The plates and portions shrunk whoever the prices
Increased. Rocky Point Shrimp Cocktail
Is half the size it used to be.
Time to find a new place.

Their ranch is the best. Everything seems fresh for fried food and not too greasy! It’s a very casual restaurant.

Their fish n chips are sooo good! I was raised on them, when there were more locations with the chain. But on the other hand, their fried zucchini is awesome… And their cocktail sauce is the best! ;) still have yet to find a place that matches their fish n chips… Will always be going to Knock Kneed

Worst fish and chips I’ve EVER had.
The fish was tough because it was over fried and the breading was sliding. The chips (french fries) were cold and tough… NEVER AGAIN.

Mmm fried goodness. Expertly fried seafood and starches are the keys to happiness at Knock Kneed Lobster. We came here for dinner due to its close proximity to Celebrity Theater.
The menu is simple. You have your choice of various seafood, and an option for chicken for those that aren’t seafood-​inclined, with various fried sides such as fried zucchini, mushrooms, and fries. I opted to share a 3 piece fish and chips, and tried some fried okra and fried zucchini. The fish and chips had a perfectly crispy crust, with flaky tender fish. The fried okra and zucchini were delicious. The okra was not slimy at all, and the zucchini had a lovely tenderness to contrast with the crisp breading.
After ordering at the counter, you have a plethora of condiments to choose from, such as tartar sauce, vinegar, ketchup, and ranch. The soda fountain is self serve, and they offer good sugar free options such as diet Mountain Dew.
The neighborhood is questionable at best, but if you are in the area or if you want to catch a quick bite before a show at Celebrity Theater this is a good option.

Fried okra usually catches my attention, but all of their fried food is good as well, save for the fries (they’re a little sub par, but still edible). You get a lot of food for a decent price.
The place is across the street and right next to two strip joints, and it’s a little sketchy coming here at night, but I’ve never had problems. It’s even right along the light rail, which is really convenient for times I decide not to drive.
They make their own cocktail sauce, which has more of a spicy kick than I’m used to, but it’s tangy and Much better than Pete Sauce, that’s for sure.

Wife pointed me in the direction of this place since she had eaten there before.
I must admit I was a little leery of the place at first. The place looks like a dive: across from a strip joint in a pretty industrial part of town. The décor is straight out of a recycled beach restaurant from the 80’s and when I got a peek at the kitchen I wondered if I was going to have to visit the bathroom in a hurry after being done.
Well, never judge a book by its cover.
The food was really good: the garlic mashed potatoes were made from scratch and delicious, the fish n chips were light and crispy, not greasy.
I would definitely come back.

Foods pretty tasty and it’s a great value. Quite a bit of food and dirt cheap.

I’ve been passing this place for years and finally stopped in today. I don’t give too many 5 Star reviews, but wow what a great place!
When you walk in it feels like you just stepped off a fishing boat into the dockside restaurant with «Fish Shack» Vs. Mexican Seaside type feeling. The place is very roomy with lots of seating, has a nice outdoor patio with smoking and non-​smoking sides and a large parking lot.
Order at the counter window and be prepared for some golden battered goodness when they call your number. Get your condiments ready, take your ticket to the window once the magic number is called, and BAM! Flaky, moist, battered goodness is now yours to claim!
Everything was made at the time of order, not heat lamp fish sitting around getting stale. They boast «The Best Fish Tacos in Town» well I’ve heard one before and me being a sucker for a fish taco ;-) I took them up on the offer along with a 1pc Fish & Chips.
The verdict? I agree on the fish taco it was fantastic and piled high with all the fixings and aside of mango salsa. The 1pc you ask? Equally as good — you won’t leave hungry even if you get the 1pc.
Stop by and check this place out, let me know and I’ll come join you there! I still need to try the homemade Hush Puppies!

Excellent food excellent service my favorite soda which is diet mountain dew
This place may not look like much from the outside or the inside, but it is very clean and they serve the seafood. If you want seafood this is the place to go. The location is not the best, but that is far from a hindrance when it come to the quality of the food and the friendly and excellent staff.

I’ve been coming here for years. The food is fulfilling. The fish is by far the best and always taste fresh. I wish there was more than one location but the drive is worth it. The only thing is the prices are a little high. To feed a family can become pricey. I have came with family of 5 and spent 80 – 90.00 dollars. Overall this is one of the best fish n chip spots.
