03.23.25 visited this place for dinner today, wanted to check it out and see how it compares to the other seafood restaurants in the area. very crammed seating, seems like the air condition wasn't even on, and one of the employees was eating at the table behind me, and would get up from time to time and deliver food to her tables, and then back to eating again, i wouldn't complain, however, she wasn't even washing her hands before serving the food to her tables. the snow crab seemed over cooked, perfectly cooked snow crab snap when you open it with you bare hands, these were like rubber bands, and you had to use the scissors they provided to open them. they trick you with the crawfish they serve the crawfish with the top layer as medium to large sized crawfish, then underneath it all, the crawfish are all babies, or cooked dead, which you're not suppose to eat dead crawfish.

So came here to do Sunday funday with my friend. The ambiance was very chill music was playing and not packed around lunchtime. Service was on point. Food was amazing!! I ordered one pound of shrimp with no head and it was so delicious!! Ladies just fyi wear the bib and the gloves ok so y'all don't get dirty and you won't get your fingers or nails stained as well. We also had Mexican candy shots!! Which hit the spot as well . lol and don't forget to tip the waiters and waitresses we all trying to make a living around here!! Will definitely come here again!! 10 out of 10

Better than Expected. Pinchin Crab has been around for a few years and I always drive by it when I'm in the Baytown area. On one rainy night when I didn't feel like driving into town, I decided it was time to try out this restaurant. One more reason I chose Pinchin Crab is that it is conveniently located near many of the hotels in Baytown and was 5 minutes from where I was staying. Pinchin Crab is a popular Family-Run business serving boli-in-bag seafood as their main attraction. The menu has fried fish and seafood as well as steamed and broiled options. I ordered for my meal a steamed crab and crawdad combo with cajun seasoning. The bag came to the table in about 15 minutes and it was piping hot when I opened the bag. The food was cooked to perfection and the level of spice was right. The crawdads tasted as fresh as they could and the crab tasted fresh. The bag also came with corn on the cob. At first, I thought that I did not order enough, but when I finished the bag, I was stuffed. The food was very good and the service was excellent. The staff were friendly and I had no issues throughout the meal. Overall a great affordable local option for boiled and fried seafood in the Baytown area.

We had a really nice lunch this afternoon at The Riverside Seafood and Grill. We originally…read moreintended to have lunch at the San Jacinto Monument Cafe, but they are not very disabled-friendly (I have a prosthetic and walk with a cane). Nonetheless, we had a very enjoyable meal and met a charming young lady by the name of Niki, who was our server this afternoon. She is the regular bartender on the weekends, and with her outgoing personality, I am sure she does well! Now to why y'all are reading this review: the food was seriously good. The fried pickles were like thin potato chips--nice and crispy. I had the seafood basket with fresh oysters, catfish, hushpuppies, and crawfish tails. My friend had the tilapia, and her French fries were nice and crispy, which she thoroughly enjoyed. It was a good afternoon to be had by all. Give them a try--you'll be glad you did. Be sure to ask for NIKI. Peace!

Nice restaurant, clean, plenty of space for large groups. Service was good. I ordered a Cobb salad…read morewith chicken tender bites, nice fresh delish. My bf ordered grilled shrimp with mashed potatoes and fried okra, he said he liked it, mashed potatoes werea bit thick. I also ordered a cup of potato soup, i didn't care for it, it was all cheese it seemed like. For dessert ordered peach cobbler made from scratch it was a lil underwhelming, lots of crust, less peach. Restaurant overlooks water which is beautiful to walk around the docks to take in the beauty. They even opened the windows to the restaurant and the weather was so nice it was a nice touch. If you eat outside you can bring your furry friends.

Happened to know that my friend owns this location in Baytown (LA Crawfish is a franchise by the…read moreway!) when I was in Houston in January! I get to try the crawfish pho that seems to be people's favorite on Yelp. Finish the bowl so fast because it is so full of flavors. There are a bunch of small crawfish, all peeled inside, and the broth is so tasty with a thick layer of garlic butter floating on top! I ask to try the sauce, so they bring out a small bowl of it to dip the crawfish with. And I end up adding a spoon-full of that sauce in my pho, too! Pictured are a big bag (3lbs) of crawfish in Garlic Butter sauce (same sauce that they use to add flavor to the pho broth. This one is very spicy, so I try only one crawfish!), 1 small bag of the Hot and Sour sauce, some Chicken Wings, Waffle Cut Sweet Potato Fries, Cheesy Crawfish Rolls, and Beignets. I didn't try the wings and the fries so couldn't speak of that, but heard the wings were a bit too salty. Overall, I'm very surprised and pleased with the experience! The best part is the crawfish here is live all year round. 5 stars for the crawfish pho alone at this Baytown locatio from me!

I think this is now called Happy Crawfish. I've only ordered Crawfish from here, so my 4 star…read morereview is regarding the Crawfish and the restraunt. I ordered at the counter. The food came out quick. The crawfish tasted just as good as any other place. Maybe I've had better a few times. The atmosphere isn't amazing or anything. I think this place is good and deserves 4 stars. A good option for crawfish.

I've visited four times and have never been disappointed. Every time I've come, the place has been packed, with people already waiting before the doors open at 11 a.m. I highly recommend it for the delicious food, exceptional service, and beautiful panoramic views!

I have never ever been so disappointed with Monument Inn than I was yesterday and let me tell you…read morewhy. But first the good stuff: our server was fantastic. The Snack Attack appy was good. Friend said his Baked Stuffed Shrimp was good. I had the Mahi Mahi with the Pontchartain sauce. The fish was dry. The sauce was bland and seemed like the recipe was not yet finished. I didn't eat much, asked for a to go bag as I LOVE leftovers, but frankly it was not good enough to take home. The veggies were good but who takes home only the veggies without the main course? We were a party of two and were given one roll though we had two cinnamon rolls which were also good. I ordered a Lemon Drop Martini and it arrived less than half full. I have never received a half a glass Lemon Drop martini. I noticed others ordering the Lemon Drop martinis an all had a full martini glass. Since I had only 1/2 of a martini, I ordered another with the request of a full glass martini. The other glass was a little bit more filled than the first one. Really odd and the taste was not worth the effort of ordering. I noticed the Lemon Drop Martini came with a surcharge. Meaning I was billed for the martini and then another misc charge. I have never been charged a surcharge for a Lemon Drop martini. The menu does not say there is a surcharge. Charge what you are going to charge on one line, in total, like everyone else does OR explain yourself and teach the 20 year old server the answer so she is aware and can share with her customers. So I asked for the manager. Cameron huffed on over like he was in a super bad mood and serving up a huge dose of bad attitude unbecoming of a restaurant manager. Cameron came over all loaded for bear and went to the wrong table. . Funniest thing ever and I wish I had that on video. I politely inquired about the surcharge for the Lemon Drop martini and was told "that's the way it's been for 8 years and we are not going to change it for you." Apparently when you order the menu item of a Lemon Drop martini you are charged for a shot PLUS the up charge of placing the shot into a martini glass. None of this is explained on the menu. Perhaps state that when ordered because I don't work for Monument Inn and am not privvy to this special wackadoodle way of charging their customers for a martini listed on the menu. Then to be almost attacked as Cameron was apparently perturbed that a paying customer had the audacity to question about this insane way of pricing. I had enough of his belligerent and argumentative behavior because Cameron was doubling down with his less than stellar attitude. As such, I told Cameron he was about the rudest person I have encountered in this service industry and dismissed him. No customer deserves that kind of treatment. Thank Cameron's inappropriate interaction for the one star which Yelp forces us to give. Otherwise I'd not given a star at all. Cameron's nastiness ruined the entire experience. Well that and the overcooked fish with the lackluster Pontchartain sauce. Stick to their fried food menu items which is where this place shines. Oh and don't order the Lemon Drop martini.

I am always looking for new places for lunch and Bill enjoys riding; so we took a ride up to…read moreBaytown looking for Mexican food and ended up at El Sinaloense. We received chips and salsa after sitting down at the table. The chips were very good - made from homemade tortillas, I am pretty sure. The salsas were hot and not hot. Also good. I ordered the grilled salmon with a roll and a "salad." The salad was merely lettuce with a hunk of tomato on top. But it was fresh lettuce. The salmon was delicious! It was cooked perfectly and had good flavor. It sat on a bed of rice with some grilled peppers and onions. I enjoyed the rice as well. The roll was so so. The price was very reasonable. Bill got the shrimp stuffed Pablono pepper (I think it was called a Chile Relleno, but not sure). It was flavorful. The beans were good and so was the rice. The tortillas were homemade and very good. The decor was interesting - I especially like the wooden medallion and the shell hangings. (See photos). All in all, it was a good meal and reasonable prices. The service was excellent. My only warning is for those with mobility issues. My husband is not able to walk much and uses a walker and I sometimes have to push him in his walker, so I was a bit worried about getting him in and out. The parking is across the street (any parking spaces next to the building were full - none marked handicapped the I could see). The entrance door has some large humps that interfere with wheels getting over them so I got stuck pushing him across. Lucky for us, a couple of the men guests in the restaurant helped me to get him in. There is also no handicap restroom so he could not use the facilities. Hi
