Mitchell’s Fish Market

Mitchell’s Fish Market is a seafood restaurant concept that has been serving guests since 1998, when it was founded by Cameron Mitchell in Columbus, Ohio. The brand built its reputation on a menu centered around fresh, chef-prepared seafood and a market-inspired dining atmosphere. In its early years, Mitchell’s Fish Market expanded quickly, reaching more than 20 locations across the Midwest and East Coast by 2008. That same year marked a significant milestone when the company was acquired by Ruth’s Hospitality Group. In 2014, ownership changed again as Landry’s, Inc. added Mitchell’s Fish Market to its national portfolio.

As of November 2025, Mitchell’s Fish Market operates three locations, all situated in Ohio and Michigan. The brand’s footprint has contracted considerably over the past decade, reflecting both industry consolidation and evolving consumer dining habits. Rather than pursuing new growth, the company is focused on optimizing its existing restaurants and maintaining a presence in select Midwest markets. There are no active plans for expansion or franchising, and all real estate and leasing matters are managed directly by Landry’s corporate team in Houston.

Mitchell’s Fish Market continues to offer a full-service dining experience, with a menu that highlights seasonal seafood, raw bar selections, and signature cocktails. The brand is typically found in high-visibility suburban and lifestyle center settings, often serving as a dining anchor within upscale retail or mixed-use developments. Backed by Landry’s operational resources and national relationships, Mitchell’s Fish Market remains a stable, established presence in its priority markets, even as its overall footprint has become more selective in recent years.
