The food was delicious I had drum & shrimp, onion rings Margie ate frog legs This place is definitely the best restaurant in Baffin area and worth the little extra drive The staff and management Where a pleasant change from the other seafood restaurant in the area

My wife found this place and it is along the gulf of Mexico. It is in the middle of nowhere and a couple of miles off the high way. Be aware that they do charge 4% if you are paying card, but will not add that extra fee if you pay cash. I ended up paying up cash as I had enough to cover for tip and food. They have a lot of seafood, but they do not serve fresh oysters, but they serve fried which is good. I ordered the frog legs which comes with sides. I got coleslaw and fries for $15 dollars. They also have a dip that was good with the crackers. I ended up getting full off of that, but I ended up eating the meal. I had some of my wife's shrimp and oyster. The fried frog legs were excellent as well. Service was good too, it does take awhile to get your food, but you come here to enjoy the ocean.

The food was outstanding and the service was as well. We were traveling through the area on Monday so we knew the other more famous place would be closed. Our first time to Baffin Bay Seafood and it was great. The fried shrimp and black drum was delicious. The salads, sides and drinks were all very good. We are still fans of the other place but Baffin Bay Seafood is a winner. Oh yeah we took a picture of the seafood gumbo like we were millinials or something. It was excellent.

Really enjoyed this small place on the bay. We had never had Black Drum and that is some of the best fish I have tasted. Of course, my hubs ordered and I ordered a Sr Fried Oyster plate thinking it would come with 4 oysters. WRONG. More like 8 of the freshest oysters I have had in 3.5 years. Fried in Corn Meal like they should be. A small salad with Blue Cheese Dressing (homemade) and hushpuppies for hubs. The tarter sauce aioli is not a favorite so I asked for cocktail sauce...never in my life on oysters, but I ate all of them. The bay was so nice to view while dining. Service was awesome. Waitress and Manager were so helpful and friendly and the view was gorgeous. We would go again . I am having Black Drum.

Black drum was exceptional! Great slaw & onion rings as well.

I so enjoyed this entire meal. Way off the "beaten track". Filling up on a Friday night. Definitely the vibe and views of a hidden gem. Great service. Great food. This should definitely get more business as it is worth the drive to enjoy the food and setting. Started out with the seafood gumbo and knew I had a great spot. Then went to the grilled drum with onion rings & slaw and it was a sure thing: great food can be found in out of the way places! I highly recommend this spot and will try what I can to go out of my way to visit when on the lonely backroads of Texas.

Fried shrimp with onion rings and hush puppies

Their seasonal drum ribs lunch special is awesome. Not to mention all you can eat. Their hush puppies are also really good.

Amazing! The Ribs!!!!!…read more Lovely casual or fancy date night. I've been here a few times actually and each time the service is great. Always filling up your glasses, never got an order wrong, and are so accommodating to all requests. I always get the ribs. They literally fall off the bone. They are that tender!

We arrived early on a tired Tuesday evening and my partner and I were immediately seated, handed…read moremenus and ordered drinks. The restaurant is located in a strange space right where Airline and Cimarron intersect; it's a bit hard to find. The inside is painted bright sea blue with nautical decorations with about 20 tables. The menu contains mostly seafood but some chicken and steak selections. We ordered fried grouper/shrimp platter with okra and cole slaw and grilled shrimp with rice pilaf and mixed vegetables. We were given a bowl of fresh potato chips, warm from the fryer - they're good, but I would suggest salt and seasonings, maybe even a sauce for dipping as they are bland. Bland seemed to be the cuisine of the day. Our fish and shrimp were not seasoned very well, and needed more salt/pepper just to be palatable. The tartar sauce is very tasteless as is the cole slaw made with mainly red cabbage. The okra was fine, the hushpuppies were forgettable and would benefit greatly from a little jalapeno, onion, corn or pepper. Grilled shrimp was good except for the seasoning and the pilaf was okay, but who raves about rice pilaf? Steamed veggies (yawn) were yucky. Even a cheese sauce or butter sauce would have improved the flavor. The portions of grouper on the fish/shrimp platter were tiny - about the size of a half dollar and there were only three of them. At the price you would expect a little more. The shrimp on that platter were large but overcooked. Everything tasted fresh - - no complaints there. The service was attentive and friendly. The restaurant is clean inside and has a full bar. Total for two platters, two teas was $46.88 without tip. With just a few tweaks this restaurant would be five stars.

1.) no seating for 5 at this facility. Sat uncomfortably at a 4 seater table…read more 2.) tables around us came and went before we were offered to place our dinner order. 3.) had to constantly bus my own table because Mel V was unavailable. Gave her the empty bread basket and she left it right in front of me on our already crammed table. Cleared the table again of bread plates and abruptly left them at the bar and they looked at me like "what's her problem" yet no one came to our table even then. 4.) 2 out of the 5 silverware sets had dried crusty potato or something like it on the knife's. The fork had lettuce stuck in between the prongs!! And it was wrapped in the black napkin so who would do such a nasty dirty thing? The manager is not managing anything at this place. 5.) Appetizer(fried mushrooms) came out hot and tasty but we never saw Mel V again to ask for dipping sauce. Disappointing. 6.) main dishes came out together but a lot of it was cold. (Very disheartening) It was as if some plates were ready before the others so half of it was cold to the touch, again unimaginably disappointing. 7.) waited 20 mins for wait staff and no one came back, went to ask a short stubby man if he was the manager and he said yes. Told him my concerns but he didn't give a crap, he actually turned his back to walk away as I was still talking. He didn't bring the Togo boxes he said he would get OR even visit the table. He just went and found Mel V. Just so I'm clear, Mel v. is not the problem and to my knowledge, she did her very best. it's the manager and lack of support provided to the wait staff. Side note: There was shit at the base of the toilet, so this place wasn't even a good restroom stop. I'm just very disappointed as my family and I came from Houston to this "good place" when really it was nothing but a disaster from the get go. At one point my dad asked if we should just walk out. We literally watched so many people come and go and no one paid any attention to our table. There are millions of places to eat in-between Houston & here yet we chose this place and left completely dissatisfied and unfulfilled. Pick another establishment because between the cold food and service, this place is not worth it in my opinion.

A lovely place for a meal!…read more Kingsville Steakhouse has a wide variety of food aside from steak, all of which were very good. The portions were large and the food was flavorful. I especially appreciated the construction of the Caesar salads! They were loaded to the brim with parmesan and dressing (which are obviously the best parts of the salad)! The rolls were perfectly fluffy and warm. This spot even got a pickle-hater to like fried pickles! I made the small mistake of ordering seafood at a steakhouse but regardless was not disappointed. The portion of shrimp was a tad small but the sides made up for it. It definitely feels like the food was made with love. Like many restaurants in the region, the walls were lined with beautiful mounts. The restaurant had a very homey feel. The service was very homey as well. Our server was incredibly sweet. She was quick and offered refills for the table frequently. She kindly provided to-go cups for our drinks too! This is a must-visit when in Kingsville!
