    Delicious oysters
    Rita S.

    Best garlic and butter with a delicious Cajun spice Crawfish!!! The oysters, when in season, are Crossroads BEST! Very pleasant & attentive servers.

    Catfish and fries

    Truly scrumptious seafood here! Prepare to get messy and stuff yourself silly on the garlic/butter or Cajun crab, mussels and shrimp. Catfish and fries are so yummy too. Cannot wait to come back for crawfish season! Seriously I can hardly wait. Lol. They do have gloves and bibs available.

    The crawfish tastes amazing and shrimp is very fresh, love the taste and style. Will come back for sure.

    Really neat place!

    We enjoyed our fish and shrimp. The seasoned French fries were delicious. We would come here again. Excellent service. The interior decor is great.

    Great but I love Bubbas's in Seadrift better! This place is very overpriced for what you get. Two people $65.00!! I ordered a lb of crawfish and a lb of shrimp medium Cajun seasoning, and my husband had the fried shrimp. We got fried calamari appetizer. I had a domestic beer AND GET THIS-NO ICE TEA for my husband! We will NOT be going back! I will save my crawfish craving for Bubbas! The food was good and the service great but .... Overpriced and no ice tea Forget it

    Pho
    Ayrat Y.

    There are not too many choices when you want to have lunch on Sunday in Victoria so we were kind of stuck between few places that open on Sundays this being one of them. We've been here few times and every time we got mixed feelings. On one hand the place is nice and clean on the other hand most of the food is mediocre at best and their service really sucks. We came in today as usual with our kids and ordered their Sunday special Pho and some corn. Pho was spicier than usual and the corn was really chewy. So the kids couldn't eat anything and they usually like Pho and corn very much. When one of their servers asked me about the food I told her that the Pho was too spicy and the corn was really chewy. Then she asked if she can do anything for us so I asked if she can bring us a small bowl with just a broth and the noodles so our kids can at least eat something but, after she passed my request to her manager, the manager told me that all they can do is sell me a whole new order of Pho. Update. After publishing my review I received multiple messages from the business owner who seem very hurt by my personal honest opinion. I understand that it is hard to get negative feedback and everyone makes mistakes but not everyone can take criticism for their actions. It is easy to shift blame and it is most natural instinct. I am not here to teach you how to run your business I am purely sharing my experience at your establishment.

    I've been a longtime customer of Baytown Seafood in Victoria and have always enjoyed the food,…read morewhich makes this experience especially disappointing. I placed an online order for pickup for my family--over $90 for just me, my wife, and our toddler. I received a text message saying the order was ready, so I went inside to grab it. The restaurant was very busy with the dinner rush, and no one was at the front counter. I clearly saw my bag sitting there with my name on the receipt--and it was the only order on the counter--so I took it and headed out. As I was walking to my vehicle, a woman ran after me yelling, "Hey, stop." I stopped, and she asked if the order was mine. I told her yes and that my name was on the receipt. After that, her tone changed and became very sarcastic. She told me, "Next time I would appreciate you letting someone know you're picking up your order," in a way that felt very condescending. I replied that it had my name on it and that I wouldn't take anything else. As I walked away, she muttered something along the lines of "that was rude" or "you're rude." What really bothered me is that she said she was trying to verify the order--but never actually did. She didn't ask for a receipt, ID, or name. The whole interaction felt unnecessary and unprofessional. Once I got home, I called the restaurant to address what happened. I was told the woman's name was Angela--and that she is a manager--which honestly shocked me. I then asked the person I was speaking with to put me on the phone with her directly. When I spoke with Angela, I explained that I was picking up my own order--not someone else's--and she responded, "How am I supposed to know that?" I told her again that the order was mine, that I had paid for it, and that I was not a delivery driver. In a very condescending tone, she repeated, "Well how am I supposed to know that? I followed protocol. I did nothing wrong." Every time I tried to respond, she cut me off by saying, "I'm talking, I'm talking," in a way that felt like she was speaking to a child rather than a paying customer. If that's the case, then it goes both ways. I was a paying customer who had just spent a lot of money on dinner for my family. I saw my order clearly labeled with my name, knew it had already been paid for, and picked it up so I wouldn't have to wait any longer than necessary. How am I supposed to know about some "protocol" that customers are never informed of? I completely understand wanting to make sure orders go to the correct customer, but the way this was handled--especially by a manager--was unacceptable. Talking down to customers, refusing to listen, and placing all the blame on the customer is not good service. I've loved Baytown Seafood for years, but after this experience, I likely won't be returning and will be taking my business elsewhere.

Started outside on the BEAUTIFUL patio overlooking the Guadalupe River. The ambiance itself is world class! We had a drink outside as the day was beautiful and then went inside to dine. We ordered the Mac/cheese bacon wrapped bites as an appetizer and to be honest...I could've eaten all 6 myself! They were delicious! One person in our group ordered grill chicken and vegetables...I noticed his plate was cleaned! My husband ordered a hamburger and kettle chips...said it was great and we stole some of his chips and they were GOOD! The rest of us had salads and they all were fabulous (I also added fried shrimp to my salad and they were huge and good!) Our waiter was a young man named Ethan. He was absolutely brilliant! He didn't miss a beat with our crowd and that's saying ALOT! He was also extremely gracious and so professional!!! I asked if he could take a few photos of our group....he said of course and the photos were great! We all had a fantastic time in beautiful surroundings with delicious food and with top notch service! Who could ask for more?! 5/5 stars with extra stars for Ethan!

Definitely a ladies who lunch type of place and with that the service, though lovely was slow but for a lot of the guests, it probably lends to a leisurely lunch experience. Food was very impressive - their fried pickle dip is absolutely delicious!! Loved it and will have to try and find a way to replicate it with a lighter version - it's a must have if you like pickles. Then enjoyed the fish tacos that were so good! Blackened Mahi Mahi that was cooled perfectly and a delicious spicy cabbage slaw!! Fantastic! Definitely worth seeking out this unexpected gem in Victoria.
