This restaurant has been around for quite some time, and it needs a little updating. We were not that impressed with the gumbo nor the pontchartrain. The oysters were ok, but wished we had crackers or something with it. We did not get any kind of bread either. However, the rib eye steak and onion rings saved the day.

Normally I have a great experience with dinner here, not tonight. I took my family out for steaks and out of the 4, 3 Ribeye steaks were 90% fat and completely inedible. When we alerted a manager he was immediately offended saying his father personally cut the meat and that they would not be remaking our meals as they would turn out the exact same (which has never been the case any time we’ve been here previously). The only saving grace is our waitress was so sweet and understanding, she handled the situation very well.

We enjoyed celebrating our 33 anniversary with a low key dinner at our favorite seafood restaurant. Our meal was perfect and the margaritas are great.

After reading several local reviews, we decided to give it a try. I’m not one to go out of my way to give a “less than” review but here we are.
We were seated right away & got our beverages quickly. Although, there are many items to choose from, it seems like just another menu from the area. The prices were high. I did not like that you have to pay $2 extra for grilled food or $7.95 to add a topping to fish. There is nothing special about this restaurant. The bread they give you to start was dry & tasted old. Our salads were floppy & the dressing was overly runny. The baked potatoes had a reheated flavor. We both ordered a platter to try a few things. The bbq crab was as extremely dry & there was no way to eat any of it. It was a crumbly mess. The scallops were like rubber & very tiny. The fried shrimp, stuffed crab, & catfish were very good. They do have good tartar & cocktail sauce. They also do not clear your table until you leave. We had to shimmy dishes & garbage to get it out of the way as we ate.
As visitors to the area, we were not impressed with what should have been a genuine SETX seafood experience. I don’t think we will give it a 2nd try. Maybe we just had an off night but with the $90 spent, that’s not acceptable. I really hoped this place was going to be all the hype. Sorry.

Saw this historic restaurant on a television show. Decided to make the hour long trek with my wife on a Saturday evening to give it a try. Appetizers – BBQ crabs were way overcooked and had absolutely no seasoning. Charbroiled oysters barely had any parmesan; were also way overcooked, and had a funny taste. Zucchini fries were good. Entrees – Greek salads were poorly made (had a piece of the dirty root part of the lettuce in it) wilted lettuce. Grilled whole flounder with zydeco sauce was once again extremely over-cooked and somehow had almost no flavor whatsoever. Lobster thermidor was lukewarm and runny. Garlic toast was stale. Red beans and rice were excellent. If the red beans and rice had been worth $180 it would’ve been a decent night as our server was amazing. Will not be going back. Entirely too much going wrong to be redeemable

The atmosphere is dated and could use an upgrade. I had crab stuffed flounder, the fish was great, yet I did not find the crab stuffing to be anything special. The service is great, spot on timely attention. I hope to return to the area and try some other dishes. I know I’ll be back.

Had a really nice experience here, easily the friendliest lady in Texas waited on me and made me feel very welcome and at home. Great looking place for 78 years running. Excellent variety on the menu and loved the red beans and rice!

I ordered a $14.95 lunch special consisting of catfish (1), fried shrimp (4), crab balls (4), side of your choice (I got French fries), side salad (upgraded mine to Greek salad for $2.95) and bread (not pictured). Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. The portions are generous. I have plenty left over for another meal. This was my first time to try their Greek salad, and it was fantastic! Its little to-go container was so stuffed I had to dump it into a big salad bowl!
