    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.

    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.

    Oysters were amazing best I've had service was mid but it was late so gotta give them a break

    Came here for lunch and the burger did not disappoint! Got a bushwacker with it. Literally the perfect lunch on a hot day! The service was great, the waitress was very attentive!

    Unique location and great view. Great service for the lunch rush understaffed. We got the famous crab cake which held up its reputation. Coconut shrimp as the app were very good as well. The fried Laguna tacos were well dressed and tasted fresh!

    Came to eat here after fishing since they have a boat dock. The lobster rolls were great! And the kids loved their chicken and fish.

    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.

    Lonnmmggggggg freaking lines

    Came here to watch some amateur fights. Lines were ridiculous. Literally one waitress for two lines that were 25 people deep. I'll report later in the drinks if we ever get served.

    View off top deck

    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.

    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.

    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

    Shrimp Po'Boy was yummy

    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.

    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.

    Visited Galveston Bay Brewing as we were given a sample of their Blueberry Blonde at Alspaugh…read moreBoutique in Seabrook. (Great place, the owners are fantastic, and if you have not been by there, why not? ) Back to the brewery. I was pleasantly surprised by this visit. Perhaps it was because it was after dark, the place was nicely lit, and we sat at the bar. The first time in was in the cold light of day, the place felt like a high school cafeteria and we all turned around and bounced right on out of there. Night time, the cosy lighting, and sitting at the bar with the restaurant (cafeteria feel) behind you is so much better. I found their service lacking for the lack of patrons in the place. Our glasses were empty for far longer than they should have been and we had to wait on our check to leave. The servers did appear to have great conversations with each other at the other end of the bar. Perhaps being more mindful of their customers would be more appropriate. The pluses are the Blueberry Blonde was as good as I remembered and we were introduced to Celtic Cross mead which led to a visit to their meadery. Would I come back? Yes. Whenever I feel called upon to partake of a Blueberry Blonde and when it is evening to avoid that high school cafeteria feel of the place.

    Everything was okay, but most of our food was lukewarm at best. Fries and fish were definitely…read morecold. Beer was cold, fresh and awesome as was our server. We really like this place; spacious, clean and friendly. The beers may be the tastiest and safest bets.
