Every time my parents come to visit they request to come here! I shop often at the bodega next door (see my review for Granel) and I was starving one day after grabbing all of my spices. I checked this place on Yelp and noticed it's been around for over 40 years. That was good enough for me! Imagine freshly fried fish (corn or flour available!) like you're at the family cookout served with a side of fried rice from your favorite Chinese restaurant! All for less than $15! I order the same combo every time, the two pieces of bass cornmeal battered, 5 shrimp and the fried rice. I'm not a fan of ceviche but my homegirl and her mom ordered it and said it was amazing! The three of us ate for less than $50! Left full and content. If you find yourself in this area and you like fresh fried fish, this place does not miss!!!

The service was great--the staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything arrived hot and fresh. As for the food, the seafood is tasty and seasoned perfectly; the fried shrimp and fish had a great crunch, and the shrimp fried rice is a must-try. The best part is that everything is reasonably priced for the generous portions you get. It's a reliable, "no-frills" staple in Houston that stays true to its roots. I'll definitely go back!

Next time I would try the premium seasonal oysters :)

Sad to say that the crawfish was DISGUSTING. It was extremely mushy, the meat was brown, and the claw meat was black. The seasoning/flavoring was good but the actual crawfish quality was the worst i have ever had. 0/10 recommend. Almost seems like they used frozen instead of live crawfish??? I will say, the shrimp was amazing.

*this review is only for crawfish, not their regular menu (which is amazing) *…read more We went here during crawfish season because they've been advertising their $8/lb crawfish, and we trusted that it would be great given the quality of their regular menu. We went on a Saturday for lunch. Hopefully this was just a one-off, but if you're looking for good Cajun boiled crawfish, this is not it. We started off with 6 lbs (group of 4) of their regular crawfish. First off, they put the Cajun seasoning on outside/shell (!!), which is a cardinal sin for Cajuns. They also minimally seasoned the boil, so the meat was lacking salt and flavor. We ordered 3 more lbs with the "wet sauce" (garlic butter), thinking the lack of flavor may be attributed to this being the first-ish batch of the day. Nope, the second batch was even less seasoned than the first. The sauce was good, but it didn't make up for the unseasoned meat. The crawfish were a good size, at least... Come on guys, I expect more from a Gulf Coast seafood restaurant!

We ordered the grilled fish and some appetizers; flavors were okay but a bit underwhelming for the price point. Service was friendly but a little slow considering it wasn't even that packed. The bar area was fun and lively which was a plus. Overall it's solid spot for the atmosphere, but if you're coming purely for the food, you might leave wanting a bit more. Would probably return just for drinks and appetizers.

My family and I were in Galveston and decided we want to grab lunch before heading back to town. I…read moreremembered the name Pier 6 from two different group of friends so thought I should look it up and see where it was on the map. Luckily, it was somewhat on the way back so we decided to give it a try. Rolling through San Leon made us question if we were going to the right place. It didn't feel lively and definitely was not giving 'Coastal Chic', like how Pier 6 has been described. Upon arrival, it was a totally different vibe and 'Coastal Chic' is a fitting description for the place. We were seated right away and they offered a high chair for our little one. We started out with fresh oysters and a flight of margaritas. If you're an oyster fan, it's worth getting the oysters. Super fresh. The flight presentation was so beautiful. My husband and I had fun trying the different margaritas. The blue one was coconut flavored. It reminded me of a piña colada but with tequila. We were surprised that we liked this one. The pink one was watermelon flavored. We could taste the smokiness of the mezcal in it. This was a nice, not sweet drink. The white one was their classic take on margarita. We thought this one was too sweet for our taste buds. The orange one was mango and I think chamoy. This reminded me of the Mexican candy Lucas - sweet and tangy. All drinks were finished. LOL Now to the main dishes. My husband had the Mahi Mahi and said the fish was fresh and had a good amount of seasoning on it. The risotto and mushroom was a solid pairing with it. He cleared the dish. I had the tomato salad and clam chowder. Their tomato salad was so good. It was light and refreshing. I love that there were dill and capers too. Their clam chowder is definitely different compared to others I've had. The soup was more like a light creamy broth. The clam is served whole. Oyster crackers were also in it vs served on the side. Even though it was different, I didn't mind it and killed everything. Service was as expected for the time of day. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and would make the trip to the San Leon area again. A few notes: Pier 6 does have a kids menu and there's changing table in the restroom, along with some diapers. This place is in between Kemah and Galveston. It's about 15 minutes drive from Kemah and 25-30 minutes drive from Galveston.

The add ons of the various butters and toppings are just the icing on the cake (biscuit?). The restaurant also just has a great vibe and the service was friendly and helpful. We also were always able to ask for recs and got some good ones, especially regarding happy hour prices and items. The shrimp, oysters, fried chicken, mac and cheese and drinks were amazing! Everything was cooked to perfection and complemented each other. And to top it all off, the lemon bread pudding was an absolute delight! I definitely want to go back to try all the things I did not have room to try this time!

Waitress was really charming and she did not over whelm us and let us enjoy each others company. Started with the biscuits which were amazing, butter and the smears were all good. We tried the miso wings which I wasn't a fan of because the flavor had something about it that was different that I didn't like, the sticky texture was nice. I had the 5 wing plate with red beans and rice, The wing was hard to eat, a lot of bone and the meat was tough to get too, I'm not a big wing eater so take that with a grain of salt. They were crunchy and had a good look to them. Red beans and rice was pretty good, a lot of sausage chunks and I think bacon. Glad I tried it but not sure if I'll be rushing back.

I believe they advertise themselves as Vietnamese-style crawfish. I'm used to New Orleans/Louisiana style crawfish, but nonetheless, I was still eager to try. They started selling crawfish at 3 I got in line at 3:25. Line was small but moved veryyyy slowly. I got 2 lbs. ($11/lb pricey !!) of the hot & buttered -spicy, 2 eggs, and a sausage. It took about 45 min. to get my food. The sausage was decent but ultimately, I didn't taste any spice. It wasn't spicy at all. It was easy to peel so that was nice but I could tell the crawfish weren't from Louisiana waters .Idk i didn't like it, that's just me. It was worth a try though. The lines were long and I only see them getting longer as summer approaches. Still check them out, you just may like it!
