Cape Fear Seafood Company - Spring Forest Road

“Consistently wonderful food and service at this location. The fried scallops were prepped perfectly. The grilled salmon is also a favorite. May not be the most kid friendly menu. But if you and your family like fish and seafood it’s on of the best options in Raleigh. Cute bar area too.”

“Mathew S. at Cape Fear Seafood Company made our entire dining experience. From the moment we sat down, his personality stood out—in the best way possible. He’s genuinely funny without trying too hard, and it created a relaxed, upbeat vibe at the table that you don’t get everywhere. What really impressed us was how attentive and thoughtful he was when we mentioned my wife’s pepper allergy. He took it seriously, double-checked ingredients, and made sure everything that came out was safe—without making it feel like a hassle. That level of care goes a long way and gave us total confidence in the meal. Beyond that, his service was spot on. He knew the menu inside and out, made great recommendations, and kept everything moving at the perfect pace without ever feeling rushed. Drinks stayed full, timing was dialed in, and he checked in just enough to make sure we were taken care of without hovering. And the finish? Perfect. He recommended after-dinner cocktails that paired incredibly well with the key lime pie—honestly one of the best desserts we’ve had. It was the kind of thoughtful touch that wraps up a meal exactly right. It’s rare to find someone who balances professionalism with that kind of personality, but Mathew nailed it. He didn’t just serve the table—he elevated the entire experience. If you’re going to Cape Fear Seafood Company, ask for Mathew S. You won’t regret it.”

“if you want seafood done right, go to Cape fear. Their fried fish is so delicious and their seafood pasta is to die for. The servers are always very friendly and attentive. I cannot recommend this place more.”

“10/10!!! Been coming here for years especially Valentine’s Week for the Sea Bass! Cape Fear whoever you have in that kitchen!!! Keep Them and pay them good, this meal was the BEST I’ve had in almost ever! Top 3. I will say I have fell back from coming over the years because the food was definitely mediocre. I know it has to be a new chef because this was a whole other level! I thank the chef for our meal, and Ms Neon for her amazing service, especially on Vday.”

“My dining experience at Cape Fear Seafood Company was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Every dish was made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and cooked to perfection. The crab dip was creamy and flavorful, and the calabash fried seafood platter was the best I’ve ever had, perfectly seasoned with just the right lightly crisp on the outside. Service was also top-notch. Our server Christine, also known by Beach, was attentive and friendly, checking in on us often. She was over and beyond, right on point. A very nice lady manager was genuinely eager to make sure we had a great dining experience. I also loved the background music selection. It had me singing to some of the best oldies but goodies. This is a highly recommended must visit place!”
