Ocean Tides is the seafood table for Quinlan and the drive out toward Lake Tawakoni. The kitchen covers the whole board: Cajun-style shrimp boils, snow crab, catfish and shrimp po-boys, grilled salmon and tilapia, quesadillas, and a fryer that stays busy.

Lunch specials run 11 to 3 on the weekdays we are open. A fountain drink is included. The house is closed Tuesdays.
