I guess this is the south side version of mambo, seafood, or Connies. I guess the southside has her own version of everything in the north side. So I decided to give this place to try with my girlfriend and I absolutely enjoyed it. The food is really good. I went with my normal, two piece, fish and six shrimp and I have to say it was absolutely amazing. One thing they didn't have is the habanero hot sauce which I love from mambos. Also, I think mambos has way better fried rice, but I will give Mannys this they have eggrolls which were absolutely amazing and I've never seen any of their competitors so props to them for that. They are very tasty too! The prices are great too! Whenever I am in the SE I'll definitely give them a try. However I do wish they would start stocking the habanero hot sauce. read more

Mannie's Seafood - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

Love this place very cheap and very clean and they treat customers well it's right off of 45

They served my food cold, I explained the situation and they advised me that there wasn't a manager on duty therefore they could not reverse my order, replace my meal, nor credit my card. After years of going there, this by far the worse service. read more

DO NOT GO HERE I bought a Fish Ceviche and they charged me $8.25 EACH small container. They were not filled up. The wait was over 40 minutes. They always charge the wrong prices for things & the service is very poor! I've spoken to the manager about this but they haven't changed anything! I'd recommend everybody to go to a different restaurant because I assure you, you will NOT be satisfied. read more

Mannie's has a food that is what I consider staple to every area. I wouldn't exactly bring someone here as a first date, as the place is in an area that is kinda shady and the building itself isn't fancy, but thats what I love about this place. Mannie's serves hot seafood and good all fried foods. I come here for lunch and typically order small fried rice and shrimp ceviche. Also wonderful taste and a good bang for your buck. The fried rice here is pretty consistent and delicious. If you're watching your weight, I wouldn't suggest this place. However if you're looking for a good meal in the middle of the day, this place does hit the spot for me. However, hide your valuables and lock your doors of your car. Its in a seedy part of town -_- read more

I've been coming here for years and have never had anything bad to say about this place. Today I came in with my black girlfriend and we were just about completely ignored. We were sat quickly and then the waitress came to ask for our drink order while my girl was in the restroom. And then my girl came and sat down and told the waitress what she wanted to drink. After that the drinks took about 10 minutes. Then we ordered an appetizer and our main course. The waitress never came back. She would rush by our table never stopping never giving us an update on our food. Another waitress came by to tell us they were having problems in the back. Then I saw 3 tables that showed up after us and ordered basically the same thing we ordered get their food before us. 25 minutes later still no sign of the waitress. We got up and went to Mambos. Never coming back here again read more

Affordable prices for seafood! Our party of 3 came in for dinner and we got a family platter with plenty of left overs! It contain rice and shrimp and fish. No salad. But They offer a large gumbo( separate charge). I recommend it if ur really hungry. They offer sodas in a can and mix drinks! read more

For an offbeat seafood restaurant, this place is the best! The shrimp cocktail appetizer was plentiful and very tasty. The shrimp fried rice is better than most Chinese restaurants! Had the gumbo on a previous visit, and it too was excellent. Service is fast and efficient. It gets crowded during peak times, but it is definitely worth the wait. One suggestion.......the restaurant might think about changing the shorthand description on the bill of a large shrimp cocktail. Just a thought........ . read more

Mannie's Seafood - Got a laugh out of the description on the bill of a large shrimp cocktail. - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

I use to go to Mannies for family meals. They have started the foolishness of charging extra for catfish! This is a bottom feeding fish but tasty. That needs to be the same price listed. If you don't ask, they don't care enough to tell you. Therefore, the family eats no fish from here. Now I also eat the lemon garlic butter shrimp, good for no fried eating. They act like they can only sell by the pound and very discouraging as if they can't divide by 2 for half a pound. I did find a loop hole and it's in the plate option with rice. It is very tasty and I suggest you try the shrimp. They could have better side options. read more

If you are in search of a humble spot with fresh seafood at a low price, then Mannie's just may be for you. Apparently Mannie's gets it popping early as I went in around 1pm on a Sunday and the place was packed. Upon entering I noticed a fresh seafood counter, but it seemed to only hold red snapper. Nonetheless pretty cool such a small joint had a fresh seafood counter. After 2-3 minutes of standing without being acknowledged, the tiny hostess turned with a surprised look and asked how she could assist. I was directed towards the counter where to go orders are placed. It took about 10-12 minutes to prepare my to-go order. Here are the results. Pros: Food was still hot when I arrive home (15 minute drive) Shrimp fried rice was flavorful and not overly salty. Fish was fresh, although the batter reminded me of fish sticks. Yummy eggroll! Inexpensive like $11 bucks for a ton of food. Cons: I know the food is prepared fresh but everything reminded me of frozen cuisine for some reason. They provided no napkins for my to go order It took a moment to be acknowledged, but the young lady who took my order was a redeeming factor. Would I go back? Sure. I REALLY enjoyed the fish and shrimp fried rice, although the fried shrimp are another story. read more

I just love this place. Been coming here for years. It's an out of town exclusive for me whenever I'm in Dallas. It's in not the best part of town and atmosphere is nothing fancy but the food...the FOOD!! If you love not greasy fried shrimp, butterflied, corn mealed crispy tender to perfection, fried fish of any sort the same this is your place. I always order the same special and almost can't believe they haven't doubled their prices like everyone else. Good service, great food, cold beer,cheap ...what else could you ask for? Oh ya,did I forget the shrimp fried rice...best on the planet! Love,love, love! Will come back again and again and again and again....etc. read more

Great and affordable food! I had the #1 special which has fried fish, shrimp and shrimp fried rice. The food was so fresh and under $8!!!!! I went during happy hour and I had the shrimp cocktail which was ok. Shrimp was small. The platter was fried just right and the taste was outstanding!! Why not the 5th star? I was given a glass of water that was leaking so I started to wipe it up with the paper towels as some of the waitress and bus boy was staring! One waitress confirmed that the glass was leaking and took the glass away but didn't try to wipe up the water. One a positive note I was seated quickly and my order was taken quickly. The food came out and I never saw my waitress, granted I didn't really need her but maybe to see how I was doing would have been good. This is definitely not that bad but the food is worth coming back for!! read more

Mannie's Seafood - #1 combo - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

Old school fried fish restaurant. Great service. Delicious food. Had a birthday party there. It felt like family.

Outstanding food! Priced like it's a Long John Silvers but SO much better. The stuffed crab cakes were on point and the shrimp fried rice was delicious as well. So glad we found this as it was close to our hotel and it was 30 minutes to close but they happily sat us and took our order. read more

Places like these are why I love Houston. This is a local joint offering a fairly wide array of fish, seafood, and even chicken done fried, steamed, grilled, with fries, with fried rice, ranchera style, topped with Tabasco or Valentina bottles for every table. I had a cup of gumbo which nailed the flavor and a platter of fried fish and shrimp. The fried options were really good, the crunch on point. read more

I come here pretty regularly when I can since it's a bit far, but ever since I went to college, I haven't had the opportunity to come here. However, when I came back to Houston for my two week break, I immediately asked to go to Mannie's seafood. I didn't crave any other restaurant But Mannie's. I hadn't been here in about a year and a half so I was wondering if the food may have gotten worse or if the prices had gone up but luckily they didn't. I ATE LIKE A PIG HERE and stuffed my face with ceviche, fish ranchero, seafood soup, and shrimp fried noodles. Everything tasted exactly how I remember it tasted and the entire time I was crying internally at how good the food was. You can tell that the seafood is extremely fresh because it has great texture and no odd odors. It is SO FREaKIN good. Also, it's very cheap too. We get ceviche all the time but it's not my favorite. My favorite would have to be their seafood soup, shrimp fried rice, and shrimp fried noodles! Honestly as an Asian, they cook better noodles and rice than the ones I've tried in Chinatown. I ordered way too much food and our bill came or to be only $33. It's pretty insane how amazing this place and really I don't know what else to say than COME HERE. You won't regret it. read more

Well...I had no idea that a Mexican Seafood restaurant was even a thing, but apparently and unfortunately it is. I don't even know where to begin. The fried squid was just gross. My friend ordered fried catfish. However, what he got wasn't catfish and it wasn't cooked all the way through. I went there with three other hungry men and all of us left over half the food on the plates. Mannie's is no muy bueno. read more

I came here because all the reviews were good. I got the jumbo shrimp with fries. I found the food to be bland and not seasoned. The bottle soda's were flat. Very disappointed. read more

Horrible service!!!! The waitress don't know anything they can't help!!!! You can't have separate tickets so if you have several families coming here don't!!!!!! Because it has to be one ticket! Like really it's too much work for them to do multiple tickets ridiculous!!! Never coming here again!!!!! read more

Updating my review of years ago. Today I had shrimp cocktail which was delivered quickly without issue. It was yummy! I also got the fried shrimp and oyster combo. Service was great and I'm glad I came back. The service was a little slow but I think that was due to the back of the house. The server apologized several times for the lateness of my oyster cocktail. There were tons of oysters in the cocktail. The only thing I would change would be the cocktail sauce being more on the oysters rather than oyster water. I couldn't reach the cocktail sauce until I dug below the oysters. I also ordered broiled shrimp and fries which was tasty. I was confused by the fried rice though! Overall it was a good experience. read more

I will start by saying we've lived close to this location for the last 19 yrs. The food is always good to great. Tonight's review is about how we were ignored, mistreated & discriminated against since my wife does not speak spanish. The hostess who greeted us, sat us within a minute only to sit for 10 mins without being approached by any wait staff. I finally waved down Isabel who I had to explain in fluent Spanish that we hadn't been greeted & we were ready to order after sitting for 10 mins. Drinks came in a decent time but that's where the service took a downward spiral. Ignored again for 10 mins I waved her down to ask if my wife could have her salad before her meal. Waitress rolled her eyes & said she'd have to go put that request in. Was that request really unreasonable for an eye roll? We then people watched for another 10 mins as 2 separate single men at 2 separate tables got the royal treatment. One even got a hug! It was almost as if we were being pranked! One of those men got his main course before my wife & he got there after our drinks! Not sure if she felt uncomfortable that my wife didn't speak Spanish but that shouldn't made a difference since I was translating for her. Half way into our meal we never get checked on. I had to wave her down for some cocktail sauce. She pauses at our table & doesn't completely stop & walks away before I was finished talking. She brings the sauce quickly & doesn't wait to ask if we need anything else. She races to the two other 1 person tables. By this time my wife is very upset since we had her empty tea glass at the end of the table when she delivered the cocktail sauce & didn't bother to ask if my wife needed a refill. My wife then holds her tea glass up in the air for 5 mins until Isabel notices us again. By then my wife had enough. Takes a sip of tea to wash down her food from 10 mins earlier. We get up to go pay & explain to the cashier what happened. She quietly apologized & the said she would tell the manager. Well just to make sure Mannies management or ownership knows of our experience tonight, I'm am here. We are long time customers. We enjoy the food but your wait staff is of low quality lately. It's almost like no experience is necessary to work there. Ok even if they want to give everyone a chance, train them! It's our 1st time not to leave a tip in our 19 yrs of marriage. We always Tip good-excellent. Not sure if we'll ever be back. Fair warning, food is good-great but don't except the royal treatment unless you're a single man that speaks fluent Spanish. read more

Excellent food & service. Customers looked like locals & I know why ... good food at good prices. We both got the Special#1: portions were large: Fried fish, fried shrimp, I had fried rice, mom had fries. We'll be back if we're ever in Houston again!! read more

Mannie's is amazing. The yelp reviews and pictures had our party split on making a decision about this place. If that is happening to anyone else reading these I'm here to set the record straight. GO TO MANNIE'S! You'll regret it if you don't. The service was acceptable but the food was extraordinary! Not a single person turned out unhappy with what they ordered. Forks were being passed around and while I was very happy with my meal, I now have about 3/4 other menu options that I want to try when I come back. Not if... but when. The ones who elected not to join us were regretting it when the stories of this food started being told. The building is dated as is the inside but the food is worth it. read more

Mannie's Seafood - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

Yes I'm a fan of Mannies! Had to do an errand at the Hobby Airport so I was keeping my eyes wide open for some Mexican seafood restaurants on the freeway. I absolutely love Mexican seafood like the type way down in Mexico at the resorts or small villages. I could eat it everyday in every style from ceviche, raw, grilled or fried. I had stopped in first to check out the menu and it passed! The restaurant was half full later in the evening with happy looking patrons eating all this Mexican seafood. I had to have some. So I took my dining partner here. The menu had a very good selection of the above mentioned seafoods I like. The only exception was that they didn't serve fried snapper or tilapia with the sautéed squid, calamari, clams, shrimp, oysters (my fave). So I ordered the whole fried tilapia fish floured, shrimp fried rice and a roll for $5.95. Unbelievable pricing and flavor! Yes you have to pick out some bones in a whole fried fish but no problem. That gives the fish more flavor :))!!! Also got a side of the yummiest shrimp fried rice for like $5 range. My dining partner got a fried fish sammie toasted with the fixings and hot fries just made for the same price range. Everything was so good and fresh. Friendly service with bi-lingual server. Awesome pricing for so much good food and pleasant casual atmosphere. Got my craving satisfied and had plenty of shrimp fried rice for leftovers. Will be back when in the area. I noticed they had a good HH posted on the wall btw. Yelp Review # 309 read more

Mannie's Seafood - 30 pieces shrimp and Chinese rice - Seafood Near Me - Houston, Texas

Mexican seafood. Didnt know what that meant until this week, but tried based on nearness to marriott hotel and yelp reviews. Yeah yelp. Had tostado de shrimp to start . Essentially a spicy shrimp cocktail on fried corn tostado (spelling?). Very good portion and taste for 3.95. and a bud light (with lemon juice) . Never had it that way. Cool. Dinner had the grilled salmon platter. 8.95 Substituted small salad for the broccoli. Came with good soft roll and fantastic shrimp fried rice. Very tasty, prepared perfect. By the way it is also a fresh seafood market, that probably help the fish quality and freshness. Bilingual server , very nice, attentive, helpful . Great food, great service, great price. Great location near hobby. Wish i came here the next night too. Will next trip! read more

This is by far one of the best fresh seafood dining hole I the walls I have ever stumbled upon.

Either way you will not regret the extra wait ! Ronn, just Ronn the hole in the wall food guy read more

Food: mediocre Service: extremely poor Here's why: I called in a togo order for lunch: family meal. The hostess (I believe her name was Dianne/ Dianna or something like that. She was the only ones responsible for phone order on Tuesday 11/24/2020 lunchtime) asked for my name and phone number. I even spelled my name our for her. Then she hung up on me which was super rude but I was like okay whatever. My coworker went pick up the food for me. I thought everything was fine till I received a call from my coworker saying there's no order here under my name or any order for family meal!!! She had to place another order and waited for 25 more minutes!!! I was super confused! Called the restaurant back and the host told me she had charged the order already! Even more confused Turned out the order was already ready when my coworker arrived. The host just made her wait for nothing! Unbelievable! Luckily, the manager was helpful and fixed everything. What an awful experience tho! Rudeness and disrespect get you nowhere. I hope you learn that someday hostess. read more
