Fast and friendly service. No dining room. There are a couple of covered picnic tables outside. Fried Coconut Shrimp with 2 sides - fries and corn fritters (yummy fried goodness. The shrimp was perfectly cooked salty with coconut sweetness. Fries were crispy and corn fritters - hush puppies with corn). This location is so convenient for posting Texas City Dike fishing meal/snack. I will be back. read more

1.Crawfish are so inconsistent in flavor, I ordered 2 3 lb orders and they were SO SALTY I couldn't suck the heads. 2. Got the completey wrong order through door dash(how I always order), called them 3 times before order was delivered because they ALWAYS forget something and was treated so poorly by Lisa the manager and someone else that I spoke to was worse than her CUDTOMER SERVICE IS RATED R- RIDICULOUS!!! read more

We order from the Boyd's pick up in Santa Fe when they are open. This time we did a pick up in Texas City for crawfish. The crawfish and shrimp are generally well seasoned. This time they were not at all. Waiting in a line for over 30 min as well, hopefully better next time. read more

We usually go to the Sante Fe location. It closed due to renovation. So we drove 45 min to the Texas City location. I was a bit disappointed. The fried shrimp was great and tasty. The fries had a spicy powder on them. I could not eat. The blackened fish was really disappointing. It was over seasoned with blackened seasoning. Way way way too spicy to enjoy. I will not return to this location. I will await the Sante Fe location. It is cooked right. Tasty and correctly spiced. It ruined dinner. read more

Their food is good not gonna lie but the prices keep going up and are very pricey I rather go Whataburger in that case. They do have friendly people. read more

My family and extended family gets it to go and have been for years (we live in Houston). There's nothing like crawfish season in Texas! The crawfish at Boyd's is always huge and we were very pleased with the size this year. Meat wise - lots of it. Flavor wise - Cajun is not as strong or punchy as Viet Cajun, but it's there. read more

The Big Shrimp Po Boy was everything I'd heard it was. With a pound of shrimp, all the toppings, it was amazing. Service was fast and friendly. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu! Do yourself a favor and try this little dive restaurant, you won't be disappointed. read more

Purchased the 50 lb boiled crawfish with 10 lbs shrimp. Cooked too long, hard to peal. Good price. read more

Great food. Fast and friendly service. I would definitely recommend if you're in the area.

Absolutely phenomenal! Despite a slight wait to order, absolutely hands down the best crawfish around. As a crawfish connoisseur of the area; boyd's was way better than HEB, crazy Alan's swap shack, bag o'crab, tx crawfish, and Cajun Greek. On par with Huli huli hut but way better prices!! The farm raised crawfish has a much sweeter taste than the Louisiana crawfish. Will definitely be back! Wonderful taste and wonderful service! read more

Everything was wonderful! I had the crab balls, the catfish nuggets and the hushpuppies. It was all fresh and piping hot. The flavors were amazing and they were cooked to perfection. Can't remember better fish anywhere. read more

Their cheeseburger with bacon was perfect for a cold, rainy, and miserable day of fishing. It made me feel alive again. Fries, hush puppies, corn fritters, and boudin balls were all just ok. Great service. Friendly folks. Going back for crawfish season in a couple of months. If you're about to drive down the Texas City Dike and thinking, "maybe we should get some food?" Yes, you should. Stop here. read more

Bought 10 lb of crawfish that went straight to the garbage. I can tell the crawfish were boiled the day before or even more than that. It's dangerous to eat, the tails are dark grey/ black! See the pictures attached. Waist of money and time! Very disappointed. Shame to sell that kind of product to customers. if it won't be too far to drive, I would return this garbage! read more

*0 stars for Sharon* Sharon (name according to my receipt; older white lady) needs to work on her customer service. I came to Boyd's for the first time ever and I was really excited to order my food. I ordered a fish taco and she asked me if I wanted it fried or blackened. I asked her which one people usually like? She snapped at me and in a spiteful tone, she told me, "Well. It's your food." Then, I looked at her like did you really just respond to me with an attitude, and she said, "I prefer mine not blackened." I went back to the window after getting my food to ask for silverware. She SLAPPED them on my hand instead of handing them to me. Then, I hear these two guys talking about how she's been having an attitude all night. She left a REALLY distasteful impression on me and I would've left for somewhere else earlier if it wasn't for my boyfriend being super hungry. We were going to order 6 items but she ruined our appetite so we only ordered 4 items. She only put in 3 of the orders so whatever. So, we got the Lynda fish taco, fried shrimp, and fried mushroom. 4 stars for all of the food. It tastes like every other seafood place that fries their food. Will not be coming back because of her. read more

Right at the entrance of the Texas City Dike, this place is a local favorite for seafood and Cajun takeout. I got the seafood platter with fried catfish, shrimp, crab cake, onion rings and cole slaw. I haven't tried the crab cake yet, but everything else was delicious. read more

$2 lb! I drove from clear lake to get this deal. I brought 8lbs of crawfish and two potatoes for myself. Shaking my head and couldn't eat more than five pounds. I put up a good fight tho. Lol They were not spicy at all, sizes were mixed and not really juicy. So don't worry about sucking head. A few were over cooked but overall pretty good, just not spicy enough. I tired to order over the phone but they do not take cooked orders over the phone. Which is said because it's always a line at the window. read more

Smells bad, tastes great! It's as fresh as it gets. Good things are worth the wait. read more

Good place to go for takeout and get some very tasty seafood. You can have grilled or fried.

Great crawfish at a great price!! Is just the right amount of spicy and crawfish. Lol

Wandered upon Boyd's by chance on a family trip. The food was fantastic! Even though the place is walk up and take away, it's definitely not fast food, and the quality was that of a sit-down, call in a reservation, tell yer friends to go place. Fresh, fresh, fresh! Even though they have different names, we tried the Fried shrimp PoBoy, Buffalo Shrimp PoBoy, fried pickles and a crab cake. The waffle fries were good, but the sweet potato fries were better. Everything was crispy. read more

Returned and tried the blackened shrimp tacos. They are made similar to the Baja California way, not the lame houston way (with lettuce...lol), so they're actually pretty good. Shredded cabbage, chipotle sauce, thick white corn tortilla, pico de gallo, squeeze of lime.....yummo! read more

Called and on hold for 20 minutes on my drive over. No one ever answered. I showed up and they didn't have any crawfish, shrimp or burgers. Not worth it... they could've just picked the phone up and let customers know and we would've been willing to come back another time to try them. Also sat in parking lot for 10 minutes just waiting and typing this and they never answered the window for the 3 people standing & waiting. Food can't be that good for that type of service if you ask me... read more

This is a dive joint at the base of the Texas City Dike. Do not go here expecting table service or an extensive menu. Order at the window, get a number and wait. The menu has about 5 items on it. Some shrimp, crawfish (really cheap by the pound!), catfish. That's about it. Go here expecting to sit outside at a picnic table or in the little covered area near the order window. I didn't mind sitting outside because my dog was with me. I got the blackened shrimp because I was on a road trip and didn't want to deal with the mess of crawfish. But if you are smart you'll bring a little cooler and have them fill it up with mudbugs to go. I saw three or four people do that while I waited for my plate. The shrimp as very fresh and very tasty. I would have given my meal 4 stars if it had a couple more for the price. (About $9). Two teeny tiny little hush puppies and a LOT of fries. So while the food was good...the value for the money was a little off, ya know? It ain't showy but it's a great little stop for a bug or a bite. If you have a big group they have some covered picnic tables. It is a very strong "A-OK" place! read more

The food & service is absolutely wonderful! There was a lady there who was being so sweet waiting on patiently for me to read the menu and the man in the back was so sweet as well, and the crawfish were so amazing, 10/10 recommended! read more

Love the coconut shrimp an boiled crawfish!!!! It close and pretty fast on getting your Oder complete.

Crawfish boiled to go is really good for the price just need to add a bit more seasonal in my i opinion but not a big issue boiled crawfish for 4$ a pound is a great price for right now but the corn potatoes and mushrooms are pretty pricey. read more

This place is 5 stars all the way! The service is fast and friendly. The food is fresh and delicious. Located on the Dike in Texas City, this little shack serves up some of the best seafood I've had since living in Texas. Their boiled crawfish are the best priced anywhere! Boyd's One Stop is adjacent to them where you can purchase the fresh and live seafood. The boiled crawfish are superb. They also have bbq blue crab, shrimp basket, chicken tenders to name a few. I have yet to have anything here that I do not like. The ladies working the window get your order and get you out. There is only outside seating. You can sit at the tables on a beautiful day and enjoy your meal or take it home with you. read more

Boyd's Cajun Grill Express - Nice size for first of season! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Texas City, Texas

Spent 40 dollars on food to throw it away. Every single thing was undercooked! Crawfish was still covered in mud. they are going to get people sick! I couldnt feed that to a stray dog! read more

I've ordered cooked crawfish and shrimp here multiple times and it's always been a good experience. No complaints.

What a great surprise when a couple hot, salty fisherman returning from the boat ramp on the Texas City Dike spotted a thatched roof take-out restaurant on the end of best bait shop on the gulf coast, Boyd's Bait. I was aware that Jason Cogburn, the enterprising owner, had been also selling fresh fish and crawfish as of late, so it was a natural fit opening the restaurant - and we were hungry, wet, salty and pulling a boat. A smiling Iris took our order after we pulled into the large, sunny parking lot and found an out door table to sit down. I saw an elderly couple and another satisfied younger fisherman working on their big, beautiful hamburgers. But it was the delicious fried coconut shrimp and the even better crunchy, golden fried juicy Mississippi Fried Catfish that got our attention and our raves. Always looking for the world's best fish taco, I was amazed. Upon leaving, Iris assured us we could call in an order from the boat ramp at the end of the Dike and it would be ready when we arrived. She also talked us into some off-the-menu seafood gumbo to go. As full as I was, my thoughts of a bait shop having the freshest of seafood and enjoying some more of their great cooking was intriguing. Once home I found the gumbo was hearty, spicy and full of seafood, and should be added to the menu PRONTO! I stopped at only 4 stars because I like horseradish for my ketchup on my fried catfish and shrimp and there could be a few more tables at this young business - BUT I'LL BE BACK. Well, 2 years have passed - it's the end of 2015. LeeAnn, then John have shown me the great food keeps on keeping on. Add to the above raves all the burgers, and a seriously over stuffed shrimp and oyster poor boy. Still calling my orders in leaving the boat ramp to sit down 10 minutes later, and still a big fan. read more

The staff is rude, and they curse like crazy. After waiting forever at the window, a lady finally walks up, opens the window, and says nothing. After staring for a good ten seconds, she goes "do you want something?" Obviously I want something, I would just love a greeting. Other than that, the food was good and the portion is nice. 24oz drinks are the standard. The prices are very affordable. I just wanted some cheap, local seafood while I was in town, and it did the job. Name of the road is a little funny. read more

I paid for jumbo crawfish @ $3.47lb but you advertise jumbo at $1.67 and didn't wanna HONOR that price You advertise and It was a bag of mostly baby crawfish and broken off paws! I had exactly 11 large crawfish and the rest were small! I was given a bag of mixed but charged for jumbos!! This is the worst batch of crawfish I've ever gotten from here. Y'all did not deserve my money today at all. So I called to tell them about what I got and y'all wouldn't answer the phone! #FalseAdvertizing #PoorBusiness read more

Ok we're done trying after giving them 5 shots. This week the crawfish were small and unseasoned. Tasted like dirty water. They charge extra for the seasoning salt and butter now but have zero flavor without them. Service is never very good and the crowd is rough. It's better to pay more and get better somewhere else. read more

Very good shrimp poo boy will be back again. Dont forget to ask for utensils if eating in car

If I could give this place a zero star I would. There was absolutely no flavor the potatoe, sausage and corn were very bland they were cooked separately from the crawfish. The food overall was just bad and not to mention the girl in the front was clueless on the menu options we asked her about the flavors of the crawfish and she didn't know the answer and didn't bother to find out either. read more

This message is for Richard. We met after I accidentally walked into the men's room. You were gathering a urinal cake into a ziplock bag and told me that you would be the first scientist in history to capable of cloning Tom cruise being as he just urinated there moments before. It's been 8 years and I was wondering how that was going. Did you raise him as a member of Scientology? If you see this also know that the following three days we spent together in your trailer were pure ecstasy and I have every reason to believe that. I carried your seed. You have a son Richard and he has your eyes. I couldn't bear to tell him the circumstance of our meeting. If you're still out there I love you and you were more than a hulk hogan lookalike to me it was real. read more

My hubs and I visited Boyds on last Saturday 3/17 at around 6pm. The line was long but moved rather quickly as people knew what they wanted to order and smelling raw fish in the air motivated them to order quickly lol. My hubs order 6 pounds of crawfish with corn and potatoes, fried buffalo shrimp and fried shrimp with fries. Sorry for not having pics but trust me the shrimp were delicious! Please try the chipotle mayo dipping sauce. Now the crawfish were seasoned good but we had ALOT of crawfish heads .... ALOT! It made us think if we really had 6 pounds of whole boiled crawfish. The crawfish were mostly medium size with some small ones here and there. I recommend this place however if you do not take it to go, go across the street to the park and eat at the covered picnic tables. read more

I will start by saying the food was good. The orders were messed up but what we ended up with was tasty at least. The service was less than stellar, the lady at the window had a horrible attitude and kept slamming the window in our face. Lastly, I will warn that it is hard to get over the horrible smell of the bait shop next door. The seating is lacking as well so I would suggest taking the food Togo. read more
