When asked about where our food was, the cook never even started on it. There was one car in the drive thru and one person sitting inside at this time. Needless to say, we were late to where we were going, and we left still hungry with no food. We were refunded the money.

After a full morning of birding along the Texas Gulf Coast south of Winnie with a group of members…read morefrom the Kingwood Photography Club, we were all hungry and so glad we stopped into Tia Juanita's before our drive back to Houston! You can't miss it, the brightly painted exterior with the name of the restaurant in big letters along the roof is impossible to miss. We arrived at around 1:15 so the usual lunch crowd had thinned out and we got a table for the 8 of us right away. Our server took drink orders while we all checked out the menu. Tia Juanita's Fish Camp serves a mix of Cajun/TexMex and great seafood all rolled into one! While we were tempted to order an appetizer of fried alligator balls, we opted to just proceed with lunch as we hoped to be ahead of early rush hour traffic back in Houston. I ended up trying a cup of the Seafood Gumbo, it was perfectly made with a decent amount of shrimp and other seafood, nicely flavored gumbo broth and a small amount of rice to pull it all together. After that I had the Shrimp Quesadillas. Other members of our group got fish or fish tacos, seafood enchiladas and other tasty things and everyone agreed the food was great with large portions. You want seafood? Well they don't skimp on the seafood in your order, it's virtually popping out of your tacos! Our server was great and took care of each of us, when she brought out the separate checks she delivered them to each person correctly and then returned credit cards to each without a mistake. The restaurant is brightly decorated, hardly a square inch of free space on the walls! This place is definitely worth the trip or pulling off of the freeway as you drive by.

We enjoyed our first visit to Tia Juanita a couple of years ago, so decided to visit again on a…read morerecent road trip. The place has a very kitschy atmosphere, which makes it fun. The place was pretty full the 2 times we visited recently, even at 5:30 pm. The first time we ended up being seated near the entrance to the rest room, so there was a continuous stream of people going by yesterday. No Bueno. We started with drinks, and ordered chips and salsa. Yes, they charge for this, but the chips are really good. On our first visit this time I ordered a blackened fish po boy combo, which was a half sandwich, fries, and choice of gumbo. My husband ordered a roast beef po boy with fries and potato salad. I love a good gumbo. The cup of seafood gumbo that came with my meal had plenty of shrimp and fish, but the roux bordered on burned. My sandwich was overly salty, but the fries were excellent. I had peach sweet tea, which was very refreshing. My husband enjoyed his beef po boy. It came with dipping sauce. There was no skimping on the amount of meat in his sandwich. On our 2nd visit this trip we asked to be seated in a quiet area. It was much better. We had salads... grilled chicken for him, taco salad for me. We really enjoyed our meals. If we return to Winnie, we will give Tia Juanita another try. But we'll be sure to insist on being seated away from the rest rooms.

I had to ask what that was . So that means make it with everything. Yep! It took about 20 minutes to get our food and it was blasting hot. We ordered the four chicken wings, french fries, one pork chop, and a burger. Everything was tasty but the pork and chicken were a little over cooked / dry. Judging from the reviews, this isn't the norm. The fries were hot and plentiful; we only ate half of them. All in all, we're glad we stopped here.

A Wonderful Birthday Celebration!…read more We visited Pine Tree Lodge to celebrate my sister's birthday, and we had such a great experience! From the moment we arrived, the service was amazing. Our waitress was incredibly sweet, attentive, and patient--even though we had her running back and forth taking care of everything we needed. She simply enlisted a little help when necessary and still made sure everyone at our table was taken care of. You could tell she genuinely cared about making sure we had a good time. The food was really good, but the drinks and appetizers were OUT OF THIS WORLD! Definitely don't skip those! Because of the heat, we decided to sit inside, but the outdoor atmosphere looked beautiful. I'm already looking forward to coming back when the weather is a little cooler so I can enjoy a drink while taking in the view of the water, alligators, and turtles. Overall, Pine Tree Lodge was a great choice for celebrating my sister's birthday. Good food, AMAZING drinks and appetizers, wonderful service, and a unique atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

I ordered the fish basket with 5 pieces of fish and bought enough home to have it for lunch out of the air fryer the next day. Husband had the ahi tuna & said it was wonderful flavor.

Disappointing experience. This restaurant falls short in…read moreboth of the cuisines it advertises--Tex-Mex and Cajun. You know there's a problem when you're charged for chips and salsa. A true Tex-Mex restaurant typically serves complimentary chips and salsa, but that wasn't the case here. The nachos were simply a pile of chips covered with canned nacho cheese sauce instead of individually layered chips topped with beans, cheese, and jalapeños. Honestly, the food at Pancho's was better, which says a lot about the level of quality here. The Cajun dishes were somewhat better, but they still didn't compare to restaurants like Pappadeaux or Landry's. They likely stay busy because they're the only option in the Bolivar Peninsula/Crystal Beach area. The atmosphere and service were the highlights of the visit. Unfortunately, the overpriced menu resulted in a hefty bill that left us feeling underwhelmed and unsatisfied. There's plenty of room for improvement, and I hope the owners from Beaumont make some upgrades to better match the quality their menu promises.

Outstanding Service from Sade at Pappadeaux Beaumont!…read more Our experience at Pappadeaux in Beaumont was absolutely wonderful, and a huge part of that was because of Sade. From the moment we were seated, she was warm, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely made us feel like valued guests. Sade provided exceptional customer service throughout our entire meal. She was friendly without being overwhelming, attentive without having to be asked, and made sure everything was just right. Her beautiful personality and professionalism truly stood out. It's not often that you come across someone who takes such pride in making sure her customers have a great experience. Sade is definitely one of those people. She made our visit memorable, and her service is exactly the kind of hospitality that makes you want to come back. Pappadeaux, you have a gem in Sade! Please recognize her for the outstanding job she is doing. We will absolutely be back, and we hope to have Sade as our server again! Thank you, Sade, for making our dining experience so enjoyable!

Disappointing customer service -- this will be my last visit…read more I was previously given a gift card as compensation for an order Pappadeaux's messed up. I was told it had around $32-$34 on it. My recent order was $29.12, so I presented the card at checkout. The cashier called a manager, who came over, didn't greet me or speak to me, looked at the order, and decided to apply only $20. The issue isn't the money--it's the lack of communication and professionalism. If the gift card had restrictions or wasn't worth the amount I was told, that should have been explained when it was issued. When a restaurant makes a mistake and offers compensation, the least a customer should expect is for that resolution to be honored and handled professionally. The food wasn't the problem. The service was. I won't be back, gift card or not.
