We let our attentive and awesome server, Cassidy, know that it was our first time to visit Tia Juanita’s. We’re assuming Cassidy let the gm know because shortly, the gm, Preston, stopped by to welcome us and suggest the most AMAZING meal we’ve ever eaten! Given that we ordered the Shrimp & Grits and the Grilled Salmon, Preston suggested having the salmon over grits topped with Shrimp Sauce and Bacon Bits. OH MY GOODNESS, THE.BEST.EVER!!! Seriously, WOW oh WOW… Preston’s brilliant idea for the grilled salmon was above and beyond and spot on PERFECTION!!! Dear Sinclair Lampe, President of Tia Juanita’s, PLEASE put Preston’s “take” on the grilled salmon on the menu!!! Many thanks to Preston for his genuineness and true commitment to customer satisfaction, and to Cassidy for taking care of us! VERY highly recommend the Henderson, Tx Tia Juanita’s Fish Camp and Preston’s grilled salmon over grits and topped with shrimp sauce and bacon bits! We will be back soon!

Seafood enchiladas are to die for amazing service, always polite and never have to ask for a refill! Blackened seafood nachos are great as well. We also go the blacked shrimp and lump crab queso bread bowl and I would 10/10 get it again. We love this place, the food, and the service.

It was my first time there, food was absolutely amazing. I ordered for an appetizer the grilled oysters with garlic parmesan butter. I rate them an absolute 20 out of 10. I have never had something so delicious and heavenly. For my main meal I ordered the seafood stuffed enchiladas. They were stuffed with amazing crab covered in a pepper jack sauce with the most fabulous scallops that were grilled on top. The scallops were buttery and grilled to perfection. I’m only in town for 1 week and I will be eating dinner there every single night. Our waiter was absolutely amazing I didn’t get his name but I will tomorrow. I absolutely recommend this place.

So good we went two days in a row!
Day one: I had the boudin quesadillas (absolutely amazing) and my husband devoured the nachos.
Day two: I switched it up with fried oysters and shrimp — perfection — while hubby went all in on the seafood enchiladas. Every single dish was packed with flavor and perfectly cooked.
Both our waiter and waitress were fantastic on each visit — friendly, fast, and helpful with recommendations.
Oh, and do NOT skip the Gator Bite drink… sweet, tangy, and dangerously good.
Already planning our next trip back — this spot is officially a favorite!

We were seated on the quiet side of the restaurant immediately, no wait line. We were served by our waitress Cassidy, who brought amazing service. While waiting for our food, the general manager came to our table to apologize for the wait, which really wasn’t a problem at all. While waiting, he gave us a sample of what he calls “Preston Grits,” bacon bits on grits. I have never tried grits before and after trying it for the first time, this set my expectations high. The food soon came out and it was the best meal for our first time here. The live music in the background was excellent and not that loud from where we were sitting in table 3. We were able to hold a conversation while listening to the music. We will definitely come back again!

Our first time here as we had to make a trip from Tyler to Henderson. The place was very busy for a Thursday afternoon. We decided to have the shrimp and crab bread bowl appetizer and to split the oyster, shrimp and fish combo. Our server was very good, and although I can’t blame her, our meal arrived before our appetizer. We ordered the appetizer first, and waited a short time before ordering our meal. The main meal was very good and fresh tasting but the appetizer could have had a bit more flavor. Wife said it needed garlic. I would defineitly eat here again.

Road Trip!!! Me and @dedeinthemorning (Instagram) love a roadtrip. We were leaving Tyler heading to Teague, TX. We saw that the parking lot was full. If the parking lot is full, the food must be good. AND THE FOOD IS GOOD AND THE DRINKS ARE BETTER. We had daiquiris, open flamed oysters with jalapeño, nachos, chicken wings, alligator, and fried ribs. Yeah the food was that good.

She was so happy from then on. Service was Excellent and the food was yummy. I definitely recommend this place.
