Usually LOVE Fat Grass. Bright shiny spot in the mostly dim culinary town of Bay City, TX…read more My wife and I decided to meet my parents here for their 64th Anniversary/Mother's Day celebration. Drove almost two hours from Houston for their Saturday brunch only to find the doors locked! Big time bummer! Maybe some tragic event? Hopefully not calling it quits! Bay City NEEDS Fat Grass! Went to Waterfront in Matagorda for lunch instead. Really nice, but not Fat Grass. Upon returning to retrieve our SUV from in front of Fat Grass, we notice that, lo and behold, they are opening for evening service. Felt like walking over and asking why their website fibbed to us, but foot hurting from recent surgery, so just traveled on to my parents house for drinks and the Kentucky Derby.... Therefore, not really a review; just a comment on the lackadaisical attitude of management I've come to expect from lesser establishments these days regarding treatment of "valued" customers... Nice job!

This is a very casual waterfront themed restaurant in Matagorda. It appears to be popular with both…read moretourists and locals. There's both indoor and outdoor eating and it seems quite lively. The wait staff checked on the table frequently and inquired about the food. The fried rice was a standout as well as the coleslaw. Both appeared to be made with a special recipe because they were both out of the ordinary and and subtle without being overly spicy yet still flavorful. The snapper can be ordered either fried or blackened or battered. The blackened was good, but the other methods were not tried. Standard Mass market beers on tap with bottled beers and some limited mixed drinks available.

Our family of 3 stopped in here for lunch, and the place was empty. Maybe 1-2 tables with…read morecustomers, other than that, nobody else at all. I have a 10lb service dog, which she was with me (she detects my seizures), and when we walked in, we were immediately told that dogs weren't allowed in the restaurant. We informs the staff that she was a service dog, and they still declined. Now, I know the laws, and really did not want to get into it, but thankfully the young male waiter who was working said "you know what, I got you guys. Do you mid sitting on the patio?" We had absolutely zero issue at all sitting on the patio. Although, we shouldn't have even had to do that. BUT, the fact that he allowed us to sit and eat with my service dog was appreciated. He was very polite, kind, and professional the entire time. We had zero issues, and my service dog was perfectly fine and well mannered as she should be. We did leave our waiter a fairly generous tip for being kind, and working with us, even tho there shouldn't have been an issue to begin with. The food was okay. Nothing spectacular. But for the town, there's not many options to choose from. Will we stop in again? Not quite sure. I guess it depends on if their staff has been informed and educated on service animals and the laws that's come with.

Reasonable prices for the quality. Service was not that great. No greeting or even acknowledgment when I walked up to order, which was a little disappointing and could have been better. Food was very good, smaller portions than I expected but surprisingly very filling. I definitely enjoyed their spicy chicken salad sandwich with a side scoop of jalapeño chicken salad. Food was brought to the table not even 5 min after I ordered. Great place to drop by for a quick lunch if you are in a hurry. Overall, would eat there again next time I'm in the area and recommend giving it a try if you are looking for good healthy food.

This is our go to once a week (or more). I have my favorites, but will try other items just…read morebecause. 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!

I had the carne guisada breakfast plate and their carne guisada is definitely some of the best I've had in a while. The plate also comes with flour tortillas, potatoes, refried beans, and two eggs. For just $11.50 that's a steal. Oh, and the flour tortillas were literally perfect. My friend had the menudo which she said was comparable to her mom's cooking. We both really enjoyed this restaurant. Unfortunately, this place is over an hour from where I live otherwise I would come back.

Loved it That was then- now- NOPE Old old inside needs updating BAD Salad bar was okay -fresh - okay choices, but too many mixed salads and not enough veggie choices for just a green salad.

He said it was MEATIEST meat sauce he had ever had! I had "Diana" which is pasta, mushrooms, and artichokes in a pink sherry sauce. The pink sauce was perfectly light and perfect consistency. My son had Veal Piccata. The white wine and lemon caper sauce was light and delicate but still clung to the linguini. The veal was perfectly cooked: seared yet still tender and juicy. It carried the sauce well. The restaurant was extremely clean with plenty of booths and tables available. There are flowers on the table and music in the background. What really prompted me to write this review was the service. The waiter was attentive and polite. There was a small mix up with my son's order and 2 servers and the manager came over and apologized profusely! We didn't complain and it wasn't a big deal to us, but they fell all over themselves trying to rectify what they saw as an agregious error. The manager sent us home with 3 desserts on the house. Wonderful little spot!
