The place is shaped like a boat and the vibe outside at night is pretty with the decor, I like the food the fried fish and the shrimp cock tail! I would recommend. The customer service is helpful thank you! read more

Meh... Came for lunch, ordered enchiladas. Food took ages to come out 40min, and when it did the plate was literally on . Made the mistake of touching it, and burned my fingers... like, did you guys bake the plate?? Giving two stars for long wait and burning hot plate. read more

Place is very clean, good atmosphere. Food is fresh & excellent. I always succumb to fried oyster/fried shrimp combo and sometimes I just crave the amazing French fries which are the crispiest. Mexican coke and aguas frescas are a big plus. Service is excellent, very courteous and attentive waitstaff. If there was one small suggestion is to lower the volume of music, or maybe softer Mexican/Latina genre during the daytime so customers can have lunchtime conversations or lunch meetings. The music volume is OK for happy hour/weekends. But honestly, the food and service is what is important keeps me coming back. Highly recommend !! read more

Just came from this place and I don't know how it has this many stars. It wasn't all that, food was bland and had no flavor whatsoever. Service was good no complaints on that‍. read more

Fried food not really good. We'll try something different next time. They have an interesting menu

It is a cute place outdoors and very elegant on the inside. Service was very prompt and understanding. The fried oysters, the Po Boy and the boudin hit the spot for sure. Next time I will definitely go after some other items that caught my eye...I definitely will be back. read more

This is the best crawfish I've had all season. Service was good some of the staff has trouble with speaking English but they still were able to help me with whatever we needed. The vibe of the restaurant is good they have a live singer and karaoke. Definitely a hidden gem and great prices on seafood. Also they chicken Alfredo is really good too. I haven't ordered anything from here that I didn't like. read more

Been here once, hubby twice. Same review. Eh. I had the shrimp and it was small and mostly batter and not very crunchy, with cold fries. Our airfryer couldn't ever resurrect this. He had oysters and said he has had better. Expensive for a little bar boat in Cut and Shoot, TX. Then, 3 of our boys took him here for his birthday 2022 and all 3 said that they were not impressed at all, service was slow, food was lacking and it was expensive. This is just down the road from us and we have no problem driving into Conroe for our selections when we decide to go get something out. I hope that the little boat gets better with time. read more

We are new to the area and I was searching for a place to have dinner and came across this restaurant. It very nice and great ambience, staff was very accommodating and efficient, food was good, could have been much better. Crawfish needed more seasoning, campechana was ok, way too much lime for my taste, fried shrimp plate lacked of breading and taste stick to the basics when it comes to fried shrimp. Grilled shrimp and fish plate was no different need led seasoning Overall our visit was pleasant and unexpected mariachi singing during dinner. We will definitely give this place an another chance hopefully the food will be better read more

Just now moving into the area and came across this place, and glad we came to dine in! The place is very nice from the outside and inside. Service is great, and the food is authentic and very delicious. This will definitely be our spot, can't wait ! read more

Restaurant is nice, but the crawfish is subpar. Let's those bad boys soak so they can get some flavor!

The food was ok but was disappointed when I came in there with three people one only ordered a drink and when I went to pay gratuity was already taken out. She said when 4 people come in they do that. Well... you just made me pay to never come back. I live just down the street was looking for a place close to frequent. read more

It seems that they switched owners , everything looks different from what it looked when they first open. I went in cause I was craving oysters, I ordered dozen oysters and two micheladas. My bill was $43 . I felt ripped off, oysters were good thoe. I could have gone for a steak dinner for that price. read more

Would give less than one star if I could. The food was absolutely terrible and the service was also terrible. We were handed the check and the waitress didn't show back up for 15 minutes. read more

Awful ambiance is like their own personal street bar! Food was good but employees yelling from One side to the other at the bar? Definitely not a restaurant read more

Good food, friendly staff, so much to look at in the building decor wise. Definitely will be going back

I drove from Houston to try this new place out. Service was horrible. We waited and waited and waited. I asked for a refill and it took forever. Let me just say that if you are not a sitting at bar or a table with a group of males service takes longer. Just saying! read more

They had a sign out saying they have the best crawfish so we decided to try it. We were a little reluctant since we had heard previously the place and menu were unimpressive. We were VERY impressed! Not your ordinary seafood, nor your ordinary Mexican. New owners have really done a fabulous job - great menu and yes, the best crawfish! read more

The restaurant is very nice and clean!! AMAZING MUSIC!!! Customer service was awesome!! I will definitely recommend this restaurant plus on Fridays and Saturdays they have a DJ and karaoke! The food is very good! read more

We sat down at the bar, micheladas are the best food is incredible everything is to die for , Lalo took care of us we 100% recommended!

I Love the fact that it finally has music and games playing on tv for once but the food was horrible. Ceviche tasted like cold packaged shrimp from walmart just tasteless and nasty. The Camaron Botana looks good but also flavorless and bitter Not good at all. The Rice smh also flavorless tasted like it came out of a package. Appetizers and micheladas are good but Ceviche and Camarones the Main dishes in seafood places is a Fail here. Very expensive food by the way!! read more

Clean and nice staff, but food was not the best. Either no flavor, or to much. I had the fried shrimp, and my grandfather had the seafood special. I was not impressed, I had high expectations since it is a brand new place and looks very nice. Based off the food alone I most likely won't be back. But the staff were very nice, and the environment was nice and clean. read more

Best micheladas! Not all of their food is my favorite, but I do really enjoy their gumbo! Staff is friendly, and the place is just cool and fun. read more

Good seafood place, their chicken fried rice is one of my favorites. Always has the same yummy taste !

I'm gonna have a nice time with my family and friends lol I just do not want anything from the other people lol
