Walked in and was a little worried that it was soooooo quiet but glad we stayed because the Hubbs had a nice little chicken fried steak with awesome mashed potatoes and I had the fried catfish with Cajun fries and it was 4 good pieces and soo soo good. I couldn't even finish my plate , but it was awesome. Sweet tea is super sweet just how I like it and the prices were perfect for the amount of food. Sweet waitress was really nice and was able to help everyone that walked in. She seemed like she knew everyone and wasn't pressured at all with the crowed that started rolling in. Nice little spot. Tarter sauce a little salty but that's probably my only complaint so definitely will try it again!

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.

The interior is also big and very tidy! There was a small welcoming staff there to greet us. The grilled oysters were topped with chopped peppers and bacon bits - came out hot and the oysters were plump and big! Very very tasty! It was about 30$ for a dozen oysters - so quite affordable for the size of oysters. Great bite and starter. I ordered the Atchafalaya, which had fried catfish and crawfish etouffee gravy smothered on top. The rice was a bit underdone which made the over taste of the dish not as cohesive. The crawfish pieces were abundant, but slightly mushy. The sweet potato fried side dish that came with the dish was perfect though - soft interior and slightly crisp exterior. The portion size was huge and I wasn't able to finish the dish. I'd definitely recommend trying the oysters on the menu, and next time, I'll need to try the fresh oysters!

I chose a large order of the boiled shrimp appetizer and my husband ordered the fish tacos with charo beans. We shared and it was plenty of food (maybe too much) for lunch. The shrimp was clearly fresh but seasoned with a taste I didn't care for, however my husband liked it fine. I covered up the taste with cocktail sauce. It must be a local preference. Our server was the very best! She gave us great advice on what to order. She was friendly and attentive without being interrupting. Her name is Hillary and she is a real credit to the restaurant.

It was Memorial Day and on our way home from the casinos in Lake Charles, discovered we were hungry…read moreand decided to give Tia Juanita's another try. We gave it a shot when we first moved from the NASA area four years ago, so it was about time. I loved the fact they were open on Memorial Day, and they didn't seem to be too busy. Mostly golfers and their ilk. Our server was Kaitlyn, who was very fast. She reminded me of Mary Lou Retton. Very fast. Almost too fast? I asked a question about the amount of breading in the crab cake, and she said there was none. Seems unlikely, since crab cakes need a binder. I am intolerant of the gluten, so when she said the crab cakes had no binder, I was hesitant. I took the safe road and ordered the cucumber snacker and a boudin ball. My BF ordered a ribeye, and (because he thought he was super hungry), ordered chips and salsa as a starter. Kaitlyn brought out my wine and our chips and salsa straight away. The chips were very stale, the salsa was tasty but a little spicy for my taste. Everything arrived at our table at the same time, even though I ordered two apps as my meal. Kudos to Kaitlyn. The cucumbers were good, especially with the jalapeño ranch. No one can mess up a cucumber, but the jalapeño ranch was tasty. My boudin ball was meh. My BF ordered his ribeye medium temperature, and it arrived rare. Kaitlyn checked in on us a couple of minutes after the food arrived. He told her about the steak and she quickly whisked it away. ~5 minutes later, someone delivered the new steak. My BF enjoyed the new steak, baked potato and salad. When we visited four years ago, we felt rushed. I felt rushed this time as well. Obviously, Tia Juanita's is doing very well. You can't swing a rope without seeing another TJ's in SETX. It's probably just not our jam. I like a nice meal without feeling rushed. I also prefer to eat with a proper fork and knife. I would, however, like for the manager to respectfully respond to negative reviews. They seem to respond to positive reviews only.

We made reservations and were seated promptly upon arrival. Our server, Carson, did an amazing job. He was courteous, prompt, and attentive. We were a party of four and each one of us thoroughly enjoyed our drink, appetizer and meal. We ordered Shrimp Ya-Ya as an appetizer after being recommended by Carson, and it definitely didn't disappoint! So much flavor. Three of us ordered stuffed red snapper and loved it. Portion, presentation and flavor were superb! We each had different sides and loved them. The fourth guest in our party ordered a seafood platter and I was surprised to see a nice amount. The manager, Cole, was extremely friendly and even took the time to give us a little history of the restaurant. The dessert ordered for my sister-in-law's birthday was delicious-chocolate lava is a must! We ended the night purchasing some seasoning after enjoying the flavor of our food. We will definitely return!
