Phan and Kong will shake your hand and say hi along with welcoming you to their restaurant. Leroy will say hi too if you get there around 530-he goes almost daily. When they do crawfish ( and my mouth just watered) , it is the best and either go early or make a reservation. Shrimp and crab boil are over the top. They have a beef noodle dish that I have to wear a napkin around my neck to keep off of me. So good! And it's named after a relative so you won't get it anyplace else. Egg rolls--yum! Try it with garlic fish sauce instead of sweet chili. Over the top. And the funnel cake sticks--okay it is just fine after a meal. You will feel welcomed here!

Drove 20 minutes out of the way to go here for dinner on the way to matagorda from corpus. All I…read morewanted was fried chicken and the only other places open for dinner on a Sunday was Mexican and Chinese so it was already worth the 20 minutes for me. But then I ate the fried chicken...SO FREAKING WORTH IT. And the jalapeño hush puppies...I don't even like hush puppies but I will be thinking about those hush puppies until we go back. All of the staff was great, I would not have ordered the hush puppies if the guy behind the counter didn't tell me to. Don't let the tackle shop vibe steer you away from the food, it is 1000% as great as their tackle selection. 10/10

Dinning there feels like you're at a family member's backyard enjoying your meal together. They also have an authentic Vietnamese cuisine that is absolutely delicious. Their appetizers, egg rolls, shrimp wraps and calamari is made to crunchy perfection. They will make seasonal pho which is warm and comforting during winter. My favorite seafood there is crawfish, when it's in season, and oysters; I like them either fried or raw on the half shell. Each dish is made with so much love and served with a smile. The owners always make their rounds to greet their guests and ask how their meal was and if there is anything they can improve on. It's a rare practice but much appreciated to small town patrons. Definitely a Palacios staple!

Seadrift is a small town of just under 1000 people, sometimes your job and get a little cumbersome. It showed. Staying in Tivoli at an AirBnb, so we thought we'd give it a try based on local recommendation. Was hoping it was that hole in the wall knock your socks off establishment that would make me want to stop again and again. But it wasn't. Maybe my expectations were too high going in. Let's start with the positives. Crab dip was creamy and delicious, just didn't taste like crab. Oyster appetizers should always come on a half shell. The Rock-yer-feller oysters came on a small ceramic plate that came out of the oven with no shells. The flavor was just ok. I wouldn't get it again. The oysters were hardy and good in size, made me feel like maybe they were from a jar or can. Stuff crab was meh. Shrimp didn't have seasoning, cocktail sauce was vinegar based? There was just a strong vinegar presence. The fish was by far the all star but even it tasted a little slimy when you took off the breading. Zero seasoning on the breading. The fried oysters were delicious, and I loved the fried mushrooms. Hush puppies are from a freezer bag. My daughter loved her fried chicken tenders. At $170 for three appetizers and three meals with one Dr Pepper, I felt like someone just kicked my dog. We didn't buy any, but the Snow crab was MP at $54 a pound? That's 100-150% markup from the wholesale. HEB sells it for $22 a lb at retail which is at least a 40% markup from wholesale. If your prices are going to be that high, your food should meet the expectation. It felt more like a person, opening a seafood restaurant in a fishing community, that buys everything from a frozen vendor, cooks it like a fast food restaurant, and sells it at a farm to table price. I paid and tipped generously. But there was nothing that made me want to come back.
