Absolutely excellent chili garlic crawfish at Barge -- good deal for a 5pb feast. Potatoes, sausage, corn and the works for $40. Atmosphere was awesome too. Right on the water and great wait staff. Shoutout to Michah for the great service. This place is a must if you're in the Seabrook/Kemah area. read more

We went for lunch this past Saturday afternoon m, since the weather was so beautiful, we sat upstairs, outside. Barge 295 knocked the crawfish out of the park! It is "early" in the season but their crawfish were all fairly big! They were cooked perfectly, seasoned with love, very easy to peal, and the claw meat was also very easy to get the meat out! They had a one man band, Leo, he sang a variety of music, was entertaining, and not too loud, we could still have conversations without having to yell. They were super busy, but we still had great service! Definitely recommend checking them out! read more

The crawfish here are amazing! The size was good and perfectly seasoned! The location was cool too and dope on the water spot. We sat upstairs after being greeted- our waitress was why I took away one star being that we were first timers we did have questions but she was we a bit snippy for my liking, we would ask her for stuff and her response was off putting. For example after I ate my crawfish I asked for lemons for my hands she said there is a bathroom right there. She never really checked on us and seemed to cater to other peoples tables around us- I won't mention my assumption as to why: I Big on customer service it can break a good experience. The space was clean and filled with people for a Thursday mid day! Pricing was good too! I will return ! read more

Barge 295 - 5 pounds Garlic Chili crawfish - Gastropubs Near Me - Seabrook, Texas

Great crawfish with excellent flavor--definitely some of the best in the area. The seasoning was spot on and the food overall was really good. The only downside was the service; we had to flag down the waitress a few times whenever we needed something. That said, the quality of the food made up for it, and I'd still come back for the crawfish. Awesome and probably the best priced crawfish in the area as well. read more

The Barge has improved so much since the change in ownership and management. The service is great, and the food is excellent. We tried the shrimp stuffed basket, and everything was really good. The inside has also been updated -- it looks much cleaner and brighter. read more

Okay, I've tried to give this place a second chance but it's a fail once again. I get its crawfish season, but having to wait over an hour.....come on! I ordered the 5lbs and my hubby ordered the stuffed flounder, he got his food over a half hour ago and is just now sitting here waiting for me to get my food. The crowd has died down and still no food. People showed up way later than us and got their crawfish before us. The crawfish was not worth waiting over an hour for. What saved them was a side butter and a side of seasoning, which we had to ask for. I won't be coming back. read more

Had been wanting to come in and try their new food menu since the revamp, finally got around to it this afternoon. We ordered the crab cake, a 1/2 pound of royal reds, and the boudin balls. Crab cake was amazing, it's full of lump crab not a ton of filler, the butter sauce, capers and dill are all in perfect harmony not too much of any of the components. The royal reds were seasoned really well and served with a butter sauce, seasoning on them was also spot on, well seasoned without overpowering the sweet royal red flavor. The boudin balls were some of the best I had in the area, they are now made with Best Stop boudin, and iykyk. Wish I had taken pictures before diving in, just gives me an excuse to return soon. If you had tried here back before the reopening and weren't impressed I would say definitely give it another try you will not be disappointed. read more

Had lunch with a friend at Barge 295 on Tuesday. In a word, AMAZING! The crawfish queso was perfectly flavored and the cracklings they serve to dip with were so fresh they were still crackling on the table. The crabcake was unlike any crabcake I've ever had and had the amazing flavor of NOLA style crab stuffed snapper, but without the fish. Perfectly seasoned. Two large platters of crawfish perfectly done, straight out of the kitchen were the hit with amazing flavor and texture. The feature that came through across the meal was how fresh everything was and prepared a-la-minute. Kudos to this amazing place and the very attentive staff. If you're put off by eating crawfish barehanded, don't worry, they provide nitrile gloves that get the job done! I will be back! read more

Barge 295 has the best crab cake you will ever have. The entire rest of the menu is also fantastic, the boudin nachos are my 2nd favorite to the best crab cake you will ever have. Service is always great, obviously can't beat the location and view - or the crab cake. read more

Service was impeccable. Fast and curtious, drinks came right away . The atmosphere is so cool. If you're a sea person, this is highly recommended. Not much decore but it's like an pirates bar type of eatery. The top deck is the nicest. Food was delicious. Definitely a coming back again. read more

We took a drive down from Houston to hang out by the water. We saw online this restaurant was on a barge, so had to go have a look. We sat on the top floor over looking the water which is really calming. We split the 295 oysters they were sooooo good, the Melted cheese and artichoke went so well with the cooked oyster. The we split the po boy which was also fantastic. We were not given a drinks/cocktail menu which would have been nice, our server was ok we were never given silverware and she didn't come back for a while after taking the first part of our order but we still had a good experience and would recommend. read more

They offer AYCE snow crab legs and shrimp! Their Tuesday special from 6-9 pm. A friend recommended this place so I decided to take the family out to support them and my belly. You can choose to sit wherever available, I recommend the top deck. Restaurant sits right on the water so there is a really nice view. Our server was super friendly and helpful. Food took a while to come out but it was made fresh. Ordered the kids the fried fish basket and two dozen oysters for the adults. They also full bar as well! If you enjoy crab legs and shrimp like I do, I say it's worth the money. They also offer different specials each day, so will definitely come back and try the rest of their menu. Come show your support if you're in the Seabrook/Kemah area read more

Great atmosphere for a beer and tacos. Prompt service and has a nice view of the water. However the tortilla chips were a bit hard and the warm salsa was spicy and lacked sweetness of ripe tomatoes. Will be back for the fish and shrimp baskets and their crispy fries. read more

Have been wanting to try this place and was a little disappointed. Bartender was not the friendliest & ran her mouth a little about the entertainer that was supposed to be playing. The views were nice. And yes, as someone mentioned before, be warned cause it's a barge and will rock to the waves. Bathroom is men/women and surprisingly clean. Hubby had the quesadillas, nice size and delicious. They came with chips. Salsa was tasty. I opted for the fried green tomatoes with blackened shrimp. Tomatoes were on the soggy side and not much blackened about the shrimp. The last shrimp I took a bite of was not right, and I had to spit it out(I know, gross). Did let the bartender know and she said she would let the kitchen know. read more

The newly renovated Barge 295 is a beauty! Great views of Clear Lake in attractive dining areas, upper and lower levels. The food was delicious and the service was great! We both use walkers and we found Barge 295 to be handicap accessible, even though the parking lot is a bit difficult to walk on. read more

Great local spot to enjoy a good drink or some food. Everyone there is amazing, never had a bad time with very fair prices on drinks as well as having some spectacular events there occasionally... hoping they get the go ahead to throw more events. Spacious yard and they have stuff for the kids to do when ur enjoying the view and ambiance. Go there and see why Barge 295 is a staple hang out spot here in Seabrook. read more

3.5 stars. This review is mainly for the unlimited crawfish on Tuesdays! Came here with co-workers for the ayce crawfish. It's $30 for ayce which comes with all the fixins - pretty good deal if you ask me. They also have a "chili oil" reminiscent of Viet cajun sauce that you can get on the side. It's normally $7/lb so if you eat 5 lb you've made your money's worth. Service was a little slow, but we noticed that the bartender also had all the tables. She actually did a great job for working solo, but it would be nice if there were more servers taking orders. Overall, the crawfish deal is not bad for the money. Crawfish is decent - not the best but also not the worst. Not sure I'd come back unless I get invited to come here again. It's nice that the bar is literally on the water and you can notice it swaying, too! read more

Very disappointed! They ruined fried shrimp. It west tough as a boot with no taste. Maybe it was left over from the previous day and reheated. The frozen French fries were thankfully ok. We won't be back! read more

Disappointed, walked up to the top part, sat down and all the servers and workers were just talking at the bar. Never acknowledged us about 15 minutes went by and still after nothing we got up and left read more

OK, so my wife and I tried this place last night. Haven't been in there since it was the Turtle Club, probably 40 years ago! Choppy on the Lake so you could feel the barge moving, pretty cool. Server was excellent except I asked for a chilled mug and got a styrofoam cup, she may not have heard me, cannot drink cold beer in styrofoam, so switched to wine and got it in a styrofoam cup!! Really need to invest in some glassware! Tried the lobster roll and it was very good as were the fries. Kind of weird, there was a bible study group there and fairly noisy. Really didn't want to listen to that while trying to enjoy dinner!! Cool view looking out over the Lake!! Not sure we'll be back. read more

Fresh and good! That's all you really need to know! The place is just like your local hometown bar with a relaxed vibe! It's a barge and you can feel the waves from time to time. If you queezy easily, I would avoid. But it's not that bad. People are friendly and again the food is amazing! read more

This is a very cool spot for locals and out of Towner's. We had the oysters and it was filled with flavor. It was delicious with the cheese melted on it. We split the PO boy sandwich and it was incredible. One of the best po boy I've ever had. I'd give 5 stars but the service wasn't great. I had to keep getting up and get utensils and order my drinks myself since the waitress never came.to.the table. read more

Drove in from Galveston for Sunday Funday. Sat upstairs under cover in bar area Covid masks not required and worn by no one. Took about 10 minutes to be acknowledged. Watched a lot of people turn over their jet skies in Galveston bay while waiting! LOL! Our waitress was Carly and she was busy when we arrived at 1pm. From the looks of it...I think she was handling a lot by herself; two other waitresses showed up about 30 minutes later and the process went smoother as far as getting assistance. They don't have a drink menu soo, my brain had to "think"...ugh! I got a vodka with OJ/cranberry...it was a weak pour so I tried a "Truly" seltzer...blah, no flavor there either. We shared the pulled pork fries with cheese and jalapeño...they were good. Live music came on about 3; Leo Mendoza (hottie who can sing and play guitar) Very casual place on a barge in the water ...be ready to sway with the waves while seated. FYI Outside place next door affiliated to the barge, called "the yard at barge 295" with live music (cover charge) and a good looking food menu. read more

Been here a handful of times over the past year. Live in Houston but love to come down to shop Maas Nursery and found this gem. So dog friendly that they not only remembered us and our pup months later but also the water dish we had left behind and not even realized. Do not sleep on the ruby red shrimp, they are so buttery and rich. Gulf oysters on the half shell is always a classic choice. Tried snow crab clusters here for the first time today and was very happy with that choice. The seafood here is slap yo momma kind of good. The atmosphere is relaxed like hanging out on your Dad's back deck, service is friendly and the drinks are flowing. The signage on the road could be better but if everybody knew about this place I wouldn't be able to get a table. read more

Came here April 16. The food was awesome. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because I ordered lemon pepper wings and garlic pam was brought out. And when we informed waitress she took them and brought back the same garlic pam wings but the kitchen sprinkled lemon pepper on top. Even though they weren't the correct flavor the wings still tasted awesome. The crawfish was excellent I've never had sweet potatoes in crawfish and they were the perfect combo in sweet and spicy. They have a signature drink that is GREAT. The shrimp were huge and flavorful and the chargrilled oysters were yummy. The barge moving took me about an hour to get use to but we will definitely be back. read more
