About Bossmans Seafood
Bossmans Seafood is a seafood restaurant on S St Andrews St in Dothan, serving a menu of 38 dishes built mostly around fried preparations. Fried fish, fried oysters, and fried crab legs run alongside catfish plates, available as a three-catfish option and served with sides like slaw and baked beans. Cheese grits and hush puppies round out the plates, and onion rings appear as a side alongside burgers, the main non-fried item on the menu. Seasoning across the kitchen relies on salt and pepper rather than heavier sauces. Orders can be phoned in ahead for pickup, suiting anyone who wants to skip a wait at the counter. The restaurant operates from this address after relocating from a previous location.

Customer Review Summary
Fried fish plates draw the most mention, with several diners praising fried oysters, fried crab legs, and cheese grits as standouts, and one calling the onion rings the best they've had. Catfish also gets repeat approval, though results vary: one plate was praised as excellent, while another reviewer found the fish slightly overcooked and the slaw bland. Seasoning is a recurring complaint, with reviewers describing the food as bland and salt-and-pepper only. Service draws mixed reactions too, from good and friendly to poor, with one diner reporting charred food, a broken television, and a long wait despite few other customers, and another describing a slow phone order with lukewarm, watered-down tea. One reviewer objected to portion size, calling their fish plates too small for the price. Several reviews still note quick service and reasonable prices, and multiple diners say they'll return.

“You must try their Onion rings they are the best ever....”

“Not happy at all. That was the smallest fish I have ever seen in a restaurant. Yall knew better...thats the sad part. 42 dollars for 2 plates of that. You should be ashamed. You know what you did.”

“Unfortunately, the worst place, I’ve ever eaten seafood! Service was poor, television didn’t work in the back room we sat. The food took forever and there were only 3 other customers eating. Our food came out charred and what wasn’t burnt …”
- Sophea
“Our table of 8 adults was served quickly. However, most everything except the burgers were fried for those looking for a healthier meal. It was fried at the correct crispness. The hush puppies were too sweet, but the texture was good. The fried fish I had tasted mushy on the inside while the outer crust was perfectly fried. The restaurant is clean but has been relocated from another location.”
- LaShonda
“They only season everything with salt and pepper. It's very bland. This is not the place for you if you want flavorful seafood. It would be perfect for someone with health problems that can't have any seasonings.”
