I've shopped at Boyd's One Stop in Texas City before and didn't always have issues, but this last time was enough for me to take my business elsewhere. I paid for a quart of shrimp, but when I got to my fishing spot I realized they had only given me a pint. I went back and even spoke with the manager, and she told me there was nothing she could do about it. That kind of response shows a lack of care for customers. There are plenty of other bait shops nearby where you'll get what you pay for. I won't be coming back. read more

Tell you what they have raised the bar even more!The food right now is best on the whole Gulf Coast!The seasoning spectacular!Any choice is a winner!!!!! read more

Was assured by Marcus G that the 3 Gee's Minnow Trap G-40's I was purchasing were the whole traps as they come from the manufacturer but when I got home since they were stuck together only amounted to a total of 1 and a half traps for full trap price at the time. Updated: I went back tonight to go buy half a trap so I could have at least 2 G-40's and the Assistant Manager was on duty. I explained to her that I had bought 3 of these last month but I received only 1 and a half traps. She gave me 3 halves tonight to make up the missing half from last month. She was very professional and polite. I thanked her and went on my way. It is only right to update this review and correct the review in light of the resolution. I am leaving the original pictures up as proof of what I bought last month and the pictures of the other half I received tonight. read more

Reserved 30 pounds of crawfish they sold it . Went out the way to go there Never again will I there read more

Went through the drive thru to order some cooked crawfish. Got 5 pounds. They had no butter or spice we could get because they were "exceptionally busy" which wasn't true. Tone of the employees voice was awful as well as the crawfish being overcooked and mushy. No flavor. No spice. All were tiny tiny Absolutely the worst crawfish I think I've ever had. Don't recommend. read more

We used Boyd's easy reservation option on their website to reserve to 2 sacks of Preferred 10/16 count crawfish for Memorial Day weekend. I do not generally do Yelp reviews but I feel Boyd's live crawfish division is getting a raw deal on their reviews. Boyd's had drive through pick up line that was fast and efficient and their crawfish were exactly as described for the price. Out of 2 sacks I think we had, at most, 5 dead which is pretty incredible based on my experience. We generally get our live crawfish on the Island but decided to give Boyd's a try. Nothing wrong with the vendors on the Island but Boyd's surpassed our expectations. We will use them again. read more

I always follow Boyd's on Facebook to stay on top of specials they post on sales of fresh table shrimp and crawfish during season. We recently caught an add they posted for Jumbo Shrimp at a 9 tho 12 count at $7.95 per pound with heads off! So we made the short trip to Texas City and bought 10 pounds. They were really nice size shrimp!! We made shrimp scampi for dinner and put the rest up for dinners later!!! They have their own shrimp boats and have been in business a long time. They not only have table and bait shrimp, but also really nice, and big live crabs usually #1's and#2's for boiling and gumbo's. And being at the base of the Texas City Dike they carry a great assortment of fishing tackle for those on their way to the dike to fish! They have live shrimp and baits for those who prefer live bait fishing. They also have drinks and ice, ice chests, and other items for your needs. read more

We came here today for 2.99 a pound crawfish with 5 lb minimum and they have drive thru lanes open x3. The lanes moved fairly quick and the girls that took our order and the one that brought it were super friendly. The crawfish was great- lots of big ones- some small, great seasoning. Thanks for staying open during this trying time! read more

Boyds seafood is not service friendly .In fact we were talking to and treated unfairly.I placed and order for 2 bags of live crawfish for a certain date pick up.After placing our order my host for said event all got sick w Flu / A. I immediately called Boyds back well in advance to see about moving my pickup date and was told by 3 employees that it could be moved because I had called well in advanced and explained why.Again I was assured the order and 80.00 deposit could be moved due to the situation and that we called well in advance.FAST FORWARD to day of pickup we drove 1 1/2 hours because we live in Brazoria County. Only to be told we had no order on file and no crawfish to purchase for that day, AND WE COULD NOT HAVE OUR DEPOSIT BACK, after being assured by 2 employees that it was ok to switch our pickup date due to out situation.Jenny whom I spoke by phone the following day talk to my like I was shit on her shoe and that no one had told me that the switch could happen and NO I would not be given any refund cause that's not how they work.SO WE WILL NEVER GIVE THEM OUR BUSINESS EVER AGAIN.NOTE : IF your ordering from them there is NO GUANTY that your order will be placed and they will not give you a deposit back, they will talk to like shit about it...Word of warning do not buy from them. read more

Before headed out to the Texas Dike, then this is your last stop to get bait. We paid about $20 for a quart of live shrimp. We really only needed to get about a pint. We decided to use lures most of the night and caught more fish this way. This was my first time stopping here and the ladies were very friendly. This is also a hot spot for the fishermen. Lots of people seem to be coming here often! read more

We waited in line for 30 minutes and paid 30$ for five pounds of shrimp to only receive 2.10 pounds which is 14.28 a POUND! We bought almost twice what we got. Scale is accurate, in the second picture we are weighing a 3 pound weight with one ounce of rope. Don't go here there are a lot of better places that won't scam you out of your money! read more

I came here during crawfish season with my family, and we ordered a large bag of crawfish for takeout. It was really nice because they have a drive-thru area where you just hop in line with your car, place your order, and then they prepare the crawfish for you right there and then. Then, they load up the crawfish into your car for you! Did I mention that the crawfish was already seasoned and cooked? The sizes of the crawfish were decently big too, and it was all so delicious! I'm very impressed by the quality of the crawfish from this place. read more

This place is the absolute worst. Bought three sacks of crawfish and in two of the sacks half of the live crawfish were dead. There is customer service is non existent which is why I'm going to have to report them to the better business bureau. I recommend you avoid this place like the plague. read more

Boyd's One Stop in Texas City,Texas. The worst Cooked Crawfish I've had in years. Its not the first time I have been disappointed with my crawfrish from this place either. I keep hoping they will get better, but they don't...they've just gotten worse and the price has gone up. I ordered 13 pounds of Crawfish, Every. Single. One. Was OVERCOOKED. They were dry, and brittle, and you had to peel the Whole shell off otherwise it would just fall apart to mush. You couldn't even pinch the tail, because it would just sqeeze right off. They were not purged at all, and there were a bunch already dead before they cooked them. I've never left a review like this for anyone, but I paid 85 dollars...And the whole family was disappointed. The kids said,"They were better at the Chinese Buffet!" lol so there's a review for ya! read more

My husband brought me here for the first time. He's been here before because he grew up around the area. I love crawfish!!!! I'm from Houston and I'm used to paying $8+ a pound for crawfish. I come here and it's not even $2 a pound!!!! The pricing depends on the day, but it's still cheaper than anywhere else. Everything is fresh. You may have to wait in line for a bit, but it's worth it. The spicy seasoning is towards the bottom of the bag where all the juices drip to. Love this place and I'll be coming back until the season is over. It's not really a sit down kind of place. It's better to just order and take back home. The crawfish is served in a plastic bag, so it may be good to bring a cardboard box or something to sit the bag in your car. You don't want it wasting in your car. read more

HORRIBLE!!! Went a few weeks ago and bought 20 lbs of boiled crawfish, it was decent, size was small but flavor and freshness was there...so came back today and bought 30 lbs of boiled crawfish, not only was the size the TINIEST I have ever seen but it was FROZEN!! ...I get that they sell for cheaper than most places @ $3.69/lb but this was not even worth that...wasn't even edible!!! Would have rather paid more locally in Houston and get the size AND freshness I paid for...BE WARNED!!! Not always what they claim and cheap for a reason!!! (Also posted this to warn others on their FB advertising their "special" and they deleted my post so I decided to put it on here) read more

Staff aren't the friendliest but who cares when they a good selection of live and dead bait.

My family and I always get our crawfish here. We drive an hour out just to get fresh crawfish! The price and sizes are great! Never disappointed with them. We've been buying from them for two years and have yet to be disappointed. read more

The sever Vanessa M. On the window has a rude costumer service. Smacking her teeth, not professional at her job, the way she speaks to costumers. I'd definitely worked on my costumer service if I was her. A lot of pissed off people complaining about her. A lot of wrong orders as well. Terrible! read more

If I could write any less stars in this review I absolutely would, They never answer the phone, never have the date that you need and most likely never will change they are outdated systems to create a more efficient business. Don't waste your time, go to fiesta or Bayou bait and tackle or Smittys or aunt Margie's seafood. Get it together Boyd's. Sheesh read more

Boyd's is not about quality/ just $$$$. We have been customers for years and have never had a bad experience. We receive the texts and went in to get a bag the week before Christmas for our family's celebration of my son's engagement. To say we were disappointed is an understatement! There was something very off about the batch, to the point 90% of the bag was not edible. Many did not have anything in the tails, and the ones that did were beyond mush. We make crawfish just about once a week each season and have never had such a bad batch. When we tried to contact them to let them know and give them a chance to make it right, they have pretty much ignored us and deleted any comments we make on social media. Now I know why there are never any negative reviews; they just delete them all immediately. That's shady. If Boyd's is in the business of pushing out anything just to sell some bags, they are not a business I will be patronizing any longer. I doubt they care that they lost my family's business, but I know there are other people out there with integrity that won't want to do business with people like this either. read more

Got half a bag of dead crawfish, they made it as difficult as possible to replace then decided trying to intimidate a young lady why trying to replace crawfish was expectable. Due to your lack of professionalism we will never use you business again read more

WARNING!!!!!! DO NOT GO TO BOYDS IN TEXAS CITY for crawfish... THEY WILL CHEAT YOU! we received a text stating the jumbo crawfish were $2.27 a pound. Once we got there the price had increased to $3.30 a pound when we showed them the text they said "the price changes at any time" I tried to talk to Denise, the lady in charge and she was so rude. She said "just do not come back to buy crawfish from us we have plenty of customer we do not need your business" SO DISAPPOINTED in the false advertising. There text and facebook post are lies! Sad that a business that has been around this long thinks they can do whatever to draw you in for business and treat customers poorly. VERY SAD!!! *****Boyds has now block my comments on their page and blocked me from making a review of their business. read more

crawfish we're not juicy at all. flavor was ok. potato were HARD and seem like they were days old. Corn was small. Sausage was horrible! If you're gonna charge someone $1 per corn and potato make sure it's good! STOP using Cajun in you business names when it's NOT! Louisiana woman here! read more

Great flavor, great price on crawfish. You can't go wrong with this place. Keep up the great work. B

I absolutely love their crawfish. Their fried shrimp is great too. Lines will be long when the season kicks into gear so be prepared for the wait. read more

Called 4 times and was transferred to a number where no one apparently answers. The fifth time I requested I do no be transferred and wanted to just know if they still had live crawfish available before I take a long drive to pick up some sacks. I was placed on hold and then told someone would answer because the person who answered said they just told them to do so. Welp, no one answered and the phone went to voicemail. Not to mention the several other times I called and never had no one pick up even after listening to that awful hold music for over 10 min. They can keep their crawfish!!!! read more

The seafood here is going on sale throughout the week and people line up here on the weekends. Or at least from what I have seen in person. The line starts early in the morning and you should get there early if you don't want to wait so long. You can also reserve bags for yourself by calling in during the week and pick up on the weekend. You'll end up paying the weekend price vs the low discounted weekday price, but at least you'll have something waiting for you. I'm from Houston and I made the drive here after fishing. The crawfish sizes range from small, medium, large, jumbo. You can pick your sizes and they'll pick out sacks for you in weight. You pay at the register and show your receipt to the guys outside on the side of the building. They'll rip off the top corner of the receipt and get your seafood ready. Once they retrieve it, they'll roll it out to your vehicle and load it up for you if needed. We asked for ice and they were nice enough to provide it for us since we have a drive to get back into Houston. Overall, awesome service and I'd come back again for live crawfish in the future. read more

The pine of life shrimp is getting less Shrimp and less Shrimp every year. After 14 years of stopping there I have fired Boyd's.

This place is disgusting. While waiting in line for 15 minutes for the Crawfish, I observed the nastiest behaviors from a handler. A male with long blonde hair and had one glove on, one glove off. He picked his teeth with his bare hands. Then scratched his armpits a few times. The absolute deal breaker for me was when he started scratching his genitals. It was DISGUSTING. We ended up leaving and I was sure to tell other people about it at the dike. read more

Placed a reservation order here for Sunday, got there at 10:30 today they took my money yesterday (Saturday) for my reservation. After waiting for over an he I get to the front for them to say their sold out!!!! Wait what I have a reservation, so how are you sold out for a reservation the point of a reservation is for you to make sure I have mine reserved over walk ups. This was horrible as a business they have to do better I order to be better, that's NOT how you operate especially with this being a holiday and people looking forward to this. read more

This is the spot especially when it's crawfish season. We signed up to their text messages and we try to go there and pick up a few pounds of cooked crawfish at their grill. They are cheap and very delicious always decent size too. We normally take the kids to the park and bring our picnic over or go straight to the Dike and go fishing. read more

Called on Wednesday to reserve live crawfish for the weekend... (like they promoted on their page!) Drove 30 minutes to pick it up, only for them to tell us they don't have our reservation, to try HEB because "they buy from them a lot". Had a whole crawfish boil planned with friends and family for today and now it's cancelled due to them. Never go here!!!!! read more

Absolutely terrible business. Placed a reservation for a sack for an Easter dinner and after they took my deposit and I waited in line for an hour after driving down an hour from Houston, they said they were sold out and couldn't help me. Ruined our holiday, I hope they get enough negative reviews to ruin their business read more

Love this place! Best crawfish around. They always have everything we need for a day or weekend out at the dike. We always bring food from home (don't know why) because we end up eating at Boyd's anyway lol. They always have live bait and the people that work there are super nice too. Thanks Boyd's we will be back again and again!! read more
