Very pleased with our visit to The Reel. We had fresh oysters, Blackened Grouper Boudreaux, and Crab Cakes. Everything was presented very nicely and cooked just right. I will be returning in the future

The seafood fondue was delicious, however, I ordered the coconut shrimp and received 4 HEAVILY battered shrimp. I was having to cut off chunks of nothing but batter to get to a pretty small shrimp. Would highly recommend skipping that especially for $18.

Sunday lunch. Chicken and Waffle had moist chicken with a light crispy exterior over a waffle that was soft with great flavor. If you are not a powder sugar fan, remember to order without. The breakfast platter was good although the potatoes were not crispy and had very little flavor this visit. The fried oyster appetizer had light crispy breading and was enjoyed. The grits were not a favorite of this Louisiana girl or her Ohio husband. They were very different in flavor than traditional southern cheese grits. Cute decor and we were able to hold a conversation.

Absolutely fantastic! So glad to have a great seafood restaurant this close. The high marks on reviews are justified. I expect a great meal if I pay a high price. Too many mediocre eateries charge a high price. The Cajun cream sauce on my Flounder and Scallops was outstanding! I also recommend the Reel Hurricane. Staci was highly professional, very attentive, and super courteous! Definitely returning.
*Note: We had a minor problem with one of the four dishes. The manager came by and resolved the small issue immediately. She was very friendly and accommodating.

Today we decided to come here for the first time on a date but also as a belated holiday meal. We had never been here before and didn’t know what to expect. As other seafood lovers out there are quite aware, that seafood restaurants are very hit and miss. I was completely blown away by the flavors and quality of everything that we ordered. Our Server Cierra was beyond exceptional and very kind, as well as extremely attentive. She went above and beyond and We were very impressed with her service. The music was good and the restaurant was clean and quiet. Hands down a 10/10 experience. Hands down one of the best restaurants that I have been to and easily in the top 3 restaurants I’ve been to in the state of Texas. We can’t wait to come back!!!

One of our favorite places to go eat when we are in the area. Staff is always friendly, they have one of the best Mexican Martinis (pictured below) anywhere, food is always fresh and tastes as good as it looks.

6/2025 update: Delicious dinner with shrimp enchiladas and seafood salad. Lobster bisque. Large portions . The shrimp enchiladas was very flavorful and good. It is spicy. The seafood salad was loaded with seafood and deliciously enjoyed. Prices are high. Service was great and friendly.
We had catfish and shrimp which were delicious. We sat outside and was really nice and comfortable. My only disappointment was we ordered calamari, which at $17, it had only 4 small rings of calamari and rest was breaded cauliflower, zucchini and pickles. I really love calamari and was expecting just calamari. All the food was presented beautifully and was all delicious. Service was great. Catfish was tender and not greasy. Shrimp were moist and great too. Cocktails were perfect. Salads were plentifully and delicious. Food was plentiful. I recommend.

Overall we had a great experience. I had requested a table that would not be in a high traffic area. We were seated at a great corner table behind the main dining area. It had a view of the patio. It was very quiet and our server was top notch.
The wine list was good. We ordered a bottle of French Rose’ we had not had before. It was perfect and paired great with the seafood.
My guy had a half dozen Blue Point Oysters to start and I had a cup of the Seafood Gumbo. Both were delicious. I could make a meal with the bowl of gumbo. Their roux was excellent and everything melded together perfectly.
And the spice: Perfect heat.
The Wedge Salad was really good and the blue cheese was smooth. If you love a wedge salad get it.
We decided to share an entree and the kitchen was kind enough to split everything for us! The presentation was very nice.
We ordered the Flounder and Scallops and the whole dish was decadent down to the dirty rice. Yum. Yum.
We will be back!

This was our first time coming here and we were NOT disappointed. The food was delicious and the service was great! I wish I could remember our servers name, he was fairly new but did a great job! Did I mentioned the banana pudding was on point and probably one of the best I’ve had?!?
