    5lbs of crawfish
    Jessica S.

    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!

    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.

    Jumbo lump crab cake

    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.

    Crab cake, Coconut shrimp, Laguna tacos
    Rylan H.

    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!

    Classic spot for a vibes and drinks. A hotspot for crawfish. Arguably one of the best spots for it here. Service was also friendly

    Small bushwacker.
    Kena C.

    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!

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

    Lobster roll
    Abby C.

    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.

    Lonnmmggggggg freaking lines
    Charlene P.

    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.

    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.

    Do they allow young adults under 21 to attend concerts?

    What time does the kitchen close?

    The kitchen is technically open until 8pm Tuesday through Saturday, but order before 7:30pm. It may be open later on the weekend.

We came here recently for a Sunday lunch. Fortunately, there were only a handful of patrons here when we arrived (around 11:30). Within 30 minutes, the dining room was full, and we couldn't hear each other talk. I remember experiencing the same thing when this joint was known as Opus Bistro several years ago. Despite the noise, the dining room still offers an excellent view of the canal and the people pulling up on their boats. Again, the food here is OK. Nothing more. In fact, it was quite reminiscent of a Fertita-owned restaurant with lines of delivery trucks from Sysco and Gordon's lined up at the loading dock. More specifically, the coconut shrimp came out crispy with not much flavor beyond the cloyingly sweet sauce served alongside. The fries are battered. Not my bag, though they arrived at the table hot and crispy. (Since when do crispy fries need batter?!?) The tacos were average. Not bad, but nothing different than you would get at most other places. Same with the Caesar salad and crispy Brussels sprouts. The crab bisque tasted tomatoey. That's not a deal breaker, but I expect a garlicky, buttery broth that has been thickened with heavy cream. Not the case here, as this was flour-thickened with inexpensive ingredients. And the amount of crab was negligible. Those *are* deal breakers. The beer selection is fine here. And, again, the service was really good on our visit. Bottom Line: I totally want local businesses to succeed. But my money is also hard-earned, and I want the food to taste local and to be made with high-quality ingredients. When it doesn't -- and this place doesn't -- I might as well grab a Groupon and go to Red Lobster.

Michael our server was top notch and paid attention. Timing and delivery were spot on. Only gripe is that their by the glass sparkling wine is definitely a prosecco not champagne. Also they were out of Gulf Oysters which they offer at a great price. The other option is a significantly smaller and more expensive northern oyster that pales in comparison to a big Gulf oyster. The food: 2 of my companions ordered crab cake entrees and they were the best crake cake we have ever had. I was stealing off their plates the entire time. Even the remoulade was note-worthy. Best crab cake in the Houston area, hands dawn. Also it came with carrots. I thought CARROTS? They were out of this world. Everyone ate all their carrots. I ordered the red snapper etouffee and it was delicious. I would have preferred it with a little bed of pasta or rice than the mashed potato but the fish and shrimp were perfectly prepared. It was a delicious entree and perfectly cooked. The complimentary bread is very good. Crusty, warm excellent butter. I would have left 5 stars had it not been for the oysters and the "prosecco". Other than that, it was worth the money, had excellent service, and I highly recommend.

We had a party of nearly 30 people, and there were two other large parties in the same dining room, and it wasn't crowded. Great room for a group event! Windows all around, nice scenery of the marina and trees. This dining room also opens up to a large patios overlooking the water, trees, etc. It was a really pretty. A piano player played live music as we dined, took photos and took turns sharing kind words about the birthday girl. All of that was the best part. The service was just okay. I'd give it a 6.5/10. They were timid and didn't move quickly. What I did appreciate is that they had two main servers plus two floater guys who just kept refilling water and bringing bread and straws. These guys were the real superstars. The food... eh. I took out my Yelp menu vision and read the reviews, and nothing really seemed like it was going to be good. I settled on the Oysters Rockefeller and a cup of gumbo. The oysters came out hard and dry, but we'd waited so long that I ate them. 5/10. The gumbo was just so-so. 5.5/10. Everyone around me said the same thing. Someone got the loaded shrimp scampi and set it back because it was completely tasteless. Others got the shrimp and grits and other entrees. When asked about how they were, everyone said, "Ehhh, you know... it's all right. Not that good, but not terrible either. Just okay." That was the consensus across the 30-person group. BUT there were two items the ladies said were actually good: the wedge salad and the salmon. Those who chose those items had a great meal!

And for my first time, this was a really great experience! First the negatives. The time it takes to get your food is extremely long and the place even on a weekday is still packed (personally, there was someone at another table constantly bumping into me). But if you can get over that, this place is absolutely insane. The fish dishes we got had the largest fried fishes I've ever seen, the fried batter was so light and airy, and the flavor of the fish was just extremely fresh and well made. I prefer the cod to the haddock due to its cleaner taste and more break apart texture, but both are really good. The shepherd's pie I got was also really good, with a lot of different spices and filling with a really nice and light crust. The only dish we got that I was a little bit skeptical about was the fried shrimp, which was good, but nothing too too special. Last two things. Our waitress was SO nice and very welcoming. She made the long wait not feel like an issue on her part, but rather just the cook time for our meal. Lastly, the sticky toffee pudding was absolutely elite. So rich and moist, as well as perfectly sweet and nicely portioned for around 2 people. An excellent cap to this overall incredible experience.
