Mayflower XVI Seafood Restaurant: Exceptional Seafood Experience in Durham, NC

Best places to eat and enjoy the aviance. Same taste as in the Grouchoes Restraunt, Older people will Remember in years past..Secrets passed down to the Mayflower Seafood Restraunt. Dr. David Howerton

I’ve been a Mayflowers customer for years!! I typically order fried flounder and shrimp but a friend suggested I try their boiled salmon and it was delicious!!! I’m hooked on this dish at least for the remainder of the year. Also this post is long overdue the service is excellent! The food is reasonably priced and delicious!! Oh I also ask for my fish to be salt and peppered fried. Ummm ummm good.

In our of my late mother, I wanted to visit one of her favorite places. I’ve heard Mayflower quality has become very poor. As I haven’t been in over 7 years, I was pleased with how fresh the food was. Waiting staff was very attentive. The place is very dated but overall, I would return again.

We have eaten at several Mayflowers. This is the best we have had anywhere - Winston Salem, Henderson NC, Raleigh. The food was hot and fresh, hush puppies had not been re-fried and we're not heavy with grease. Restarant was clean. Waiter was attentive. We will go back. Highly recommend. We were there at 4:30

The ONLY Mayflower in North Carolina Worth Your Time! I've tried numerous Mayflower Seafood locations across North Carolina over the years, and let me be absolutely clear: NO ONE compares to the Chapel Hill location. The food here is consistently amazing. They serve up classic Southern fried seafood exactly the way it should be—fresh, perfectly crisp, and never greasy. Whether it’s the shrimp, the oysters, or the flounder, the quality is always top-notch and truly delicious. I treat this Chapel Hill location as its own unique restaurant because the quality, consistency, and overall experience set it miles apart from the rest. If you're craving Mayflower-style seafood, skip the others and make the drive to this one. You won't be disappointed. This is the only Mayflower I recommend, and it has my highest approval.

We haven't been here in many, many years, so I read through some reviews, and we decided to give it a shot for lunch on Saturday. We were pleasantly surprised in all respects! The service was excellent! Very friendly waiter who was very attentive and made sure our drinks were filled and got anything else we might need. The food was delicious! Everything was lightly fried to perfection. My spouse had fried scallops that she said were perfect with fries. I had the white fish and clam strips with a baked potato. The fish was so flakey, and so many of the clam strips were much bigger than I've seen in years, plus no rubbery texture. Both entrees came with slaw. We both had leftovers. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated with a nautical theme throughout, including an actual boat serving as the desk where you pay when leaving. We were thrilled to find the Mayflower serving up such great seafood and plan on returning sooner rather than later. Honestly, I'm surprised there wasn't a line out the door!

Really delicious fried sea food. This place offers a great menu of food items which are fried or boiled. Shrimp, flounder, trout, oyster, and more. Be aware that even though you can find steak or chicken in its menu, the specialty of this restaurant is fried or boiled seafood. If it is what you are looking for, go ahead, if not I highly recommend go other place. My rate is based on what I ate and my experience. I like the food and it looks good but, I will suggest more like because it feel dark inside. I will give you a five star but, I think it is time to redecorate the place. Modernist will be great without loosing the essence.

we had a galentines lunch .food was delish now if they start having desserts it would been great . they reconize one of our friends and gave us a blooming onion who knew they had it?! it was delish . may have my birthday lunch there too.
