    crab legs and crab legs in a skillet
    Madi M.

    I can't give them 5. One star out for service. Service was poor. Waiter was not present and not attentive. I had to get up a few times to ask for stuff. One star out for food taste. OVERRATED. I was invited, I would not go again though. The only good thing was fried shrimp but still the batter contained too much spices. Kids meal was mediocre. Fish was over spiced with salty and peppery mix. Not good! Playground, which I can't call it a playground has broken bouncy house. Kids can injury themselves easily, it's called for troubles. Kids were running next to us, throwing ball next to my baby. Not safe. I was ready to leave and not come back. One star to support local business. Otherwise I only would give 2 stars.

    My spouse saw this establishment on a Facebook ad and decided to have us all try it out. While on the way, I decided to call just to ensure this place was in fact open, yet no one answered the phone or Facebook messages. I tried calling a couple of their other locations, and received an error tone when calling. Nonetheless, while it was a drive, it was a rather scenic one which made it seem less than a bit over an hour. Upon arrival, we were only the second family there, so we were naturally a bit uneasy. No one greeted us or asked where we wanted to sit, so we figured it was "seat ourselves". Also upon entering, one of the waitresses was swatting flies against the wall - that was a tad concerning. A bit after sitting down, our waitress came to obtain our drink orders. Upon receipt of drinks, we then ordered our main course and two appetizers - Cajun fries and fried pickles. Both appetizers were extremely small, especially the fried pickles. The pickles were $6.99 and the fries were $3.99. The seafood platter was rather tasty, but before you knew it, the flies were all over our food and drinks. It was rather annoying (and gross) to keep swatting flies while trying to eat. Nonetheless, the platter was seasoned well and overall decent. I asked for the snow crab openers (or something to assist with opening up the tougher areas), but they said they didn't have any since they're always being stolen; they didn't even have a sturdy fork to provide me with (only plastic). The customer service wasn't all that great and the flies were quite annoying. The serving sizes for the price paid for the appetizers was a bit of a downfall as well. Other than these issues, it was a decent experience.

    Fantastic crawfish, great flavor and perfect peel. Ambiance was great with live music! Would definitely recommend getting the spicy garlic flavor!

    Not worth the money. Had the chicken and fries, all of which were greasy and relatively tasteless. Couldn't even eat it all because it just wasn't good. Paid 14.00 including tax and wished afterwards I wouldn't had. Lots of people eating crawfish, maybe it was better that my meal.

    I really like this place! Their boudin balls and crawfish are so good! Darla, Leah & Cindi are all so sweet and attentive! Thank you ladies & all staff!

    We love Busters, and have frequented here for years... love the crawfish. Today I was charged for cups of water. The same price as a soda. When I questioned the waitress she said it was not a mistake and that's what they charge for a cup of water. A small charge to cover the cost of the cup and straws is reasonable, this however is not.

    Plenty of large crawfish, big roll of paper towels, and lined trash bucket!

The staff were very friendly when we entered. We didn't have a reservation, but they sat is quickly even though the place was pretty full. I went for one of their Benedict options and son went for good old fashioned spaghetti. I liked mine and he finished all of his. For him, finishing food means it was on point. He is so picky. The restaurant itself is a mix of elegant and casual for brunch. It's also nestled in Hughes Landing meaning there is plenty to do on foot before and after. (For me, that means a visit to Fleet Feet.) Anyway, the brunch was solid.

Unfortunately, the scallops had a noticeable odor and tasted off, which made me feel they were not fresh. I mentioned this to our waitress, and I was surprised that no replacement or alternative was offered. I wasn't expecting anything extraordinary, but some acknowledgment or effort to address the issue would have been appreciated. Aside from the scallops, the rest of the food was okay. The atmosphere was pleasant, and we chose to sit outside, which made for a very enjoyable evening. Note: I would avoid ordering the scallops since they seem to not be fresh.

    A Fantastic Birthday Celebration at Landry's Seafood in The Woodlands!…read more We recently celebrated my birthday at Landry's Seafood Restaurant in The Woodlands, Texas, and it was the perfect choice for a memorable afternoon. The restaurant has that classic warm, welcoming coastal vibe with beautiful wood accents and views that make you feel like you've stepped away from the hustle without leaving The Woodlands. The energy was lively but comfortable, ideal for a family birthday dinner. Our server, James, was outstanding. From the moment we sat down, he was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made our celebration feel special. He knew the menu inside and out, offered great recommendations, and kept everything running smoothly with a smile. James really elevated the experience, top-notch service all the way! For food, I went with the Stuffed Shrimp Pontchartrain, and it did not disappoint. The shrimp were generously stuffed with delicious seafood, then smothered in a rich white cream sauce with mushrooms that brought everything together beautifully. Paired with the savory dirty rice and fresh seasonal vegetables, it was a hearty, flavorful plate that felt indulgent yet perfectly balanced. I also started with a cup of Chicken & Sausage Gumbo, and it was excellent--packed with flavor, the perfect spicy kick, and loaded with sausage and tender chicken. It warmed me up and set the tone for a great meal. Everything came out hot and fresh, portions were generous, and the flavors were spot-on. Landry's delivered that quality Gulf Coast seafood experience we were hoping for right here in The Woodlands. If you're looking for a reliable, delicious spot for a birthday, date night, or just a great seafood dinner in the area, I highly recommend Landry's. We'll definitely be back--thanks again to James for making our night extra special! Highly recommended!

Kady, the bartender (forgive me if I spelled it wrong) was such a doll the whole time waiting us. She kept the chips (touch of louisiana we enjoyed) next to her for refills and made the most twisted hurricane I've had. Definitely walked out clinging to my man lol. We tried the crawfish dip which came with two types of bread, though both went amazing with it. I ordered the lobster ravioli with a side of hush puppies and my old guy ordered the lamb chops, well done, with gumbo (we don't eat pork) and stuffed shrimp. Everything was so damn great tasting.
