My partner and I trying this place out while on shift. Pretty darn good and competitively priced and the spice has some zzzzzzzing! Not overly spicy but very good. Customer service was great. Javier was our server, very attentive. The owner came out offered some crawfish with our meal. Very good taste. A retired Houston Fireman,l love supporting Mom/Pops. The outlaw burger 8oz. Angus, bacon, cheese, pecan smoked brisket, grilled onions, jalapeños, & bbq sauce on a very tasty poppy seed potato bun is the real deal. #supportlocal #supportsmallbusinessowners read more

Service was EXCELLENT! Go see Evan at the bar! He is so nice, and very outgoing and He makes the best Spicy Margarita! Ambiance was cool, laid back, very clean. Food was yummy, seasoned well, fresh off the grill. This is a definite must try!!! We will be returning. read more

Friendly staff, plus owner introduced himself and was friendly. Fried Shrimp and Fish were 10/10 giant shrimp , flakey white fish , breaded to perfection. Zach our waiter was attentive and patient and kind. Onion rings and all the sides were excellent. I would stay away from the steak, considering its primarily targeted for seafood. I should have known. Cool atmosphere, live music under restaurant read more

Well first off it is not the prettiest view as the pictures let in, secondly the menu isn't what you see on here. Everything I wanted was no longer on the menu, the menu now is simple and what you can get at any dive bar. Then I ordered beer and instead of glass bottles or a glass at all I received a can beer, of dosxx, just not a fan. After that we ordered boudin and to be honest it was actually good...but here is the kicker!! The boy delivered it wearing head phones, plopped it on the table and turned away I said hey wait!! Because I knew we had not napkins utensils or plates...he couldn't hear me so I clapped my hands to get his attention, that didn't work but another table was able to get his attention. He came back I said we need plates and something to eat with like a fork and napkins would be nice. I went upstairs and spoke with the "manager"! He gave me lip service and said he would be down soon to make it right...30 minutes later we just left! Just bad all the way around!! Not worth the money!! And the manager looks just as bad as headphone boy at this point!! DONT GO!!!!!!! Waste of time and money! This is exactly what happens when you hire managers that act like they know the industry, yes they do, they know how to make it a shit show. I am from the restaurant industry and recognize this pretty quickly. A lot of talk and so much talk that the place goes down hill fast with poorly managed business. He should have acted much differently and showed up like her said he would. But I honestly don't think he had any intention to do so. It was just lip service and to be honest how do have employees wearing headphones and have no idea?? Same reason the menu went to simple, no one cares! read more

The food is AMAZING!! The views are so pretty when you sit outside and the food is spectacular. Please eat here if you have the chance!! The prices for food are very reasonable. Ambiance: There is inside and outdoor seating. We sat outside to see the view of the water and many boats passing. If it gets too hot, theres umbrellas. There is also live music downstairs which was super cool. The service is great! Blackened salmon: The salmon was a great portion. The flavor on it was amazing and it was a great sized filet. The fries were also so good! It was a unique shape and it was flavorful. Although, I would not recommend getting the mac and cheese. It wasn't very cheesy and it didnt really taste like classic mac and cheese. Steak w/ crab meat: The crab meat on top was such a nice touch and so flavorful! The steak was seasoned well and cooked to perfection. The seasoned rise was also so good and a little spicy. read more

Sammy G's District 70 - Oyster Rock-a-Fella - Bars Near Me - El Lago, Texas

I dined here for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, even though it was a bit different than usual. It was cold outside, but the interior was nice and warm, which was a definite plus. Since it was a slow night for an 8 PM in the middle of the week, we decided to sit at the bar. The bartender was very friendly and helped us with our drinks right away. Other patrons, who seemed to be regulars, greeted us and made us feel like we belonged there. It became a bit tricky when the bartender took our order, as she had to check with the chef regarding the availability of certain fish. This made it clear that the items they offered were fresh. A few minutes later, the chef called her back to explain that they didn't have some of the sides we requested. She returned to inform us that their menu was changing, so we chose different sides. Once we received our food, it was apparent why they had limited menu options--the quality was outstanding. All of our dishes were made in-house and very fresh. My husband opted for the ribeye, which was so tender that he was able to cut it with just a butter knife. I had the seared cod, and it was excellent. Overall, it was a great experience, and we will definitely be back. One other plus was we were told they just hired someone to make in-house desserts! This place is a gem. read more

The location is incredible! I loved being in the water! It reminded me of days at the old outriggers where I worked in highschool! I was underwhelmed with my salad with seared tuna maybe if it was cut up and crusted the tuna more instead of one big check I wouldn't liked it more, but the Cesar salad and green goddess dressing was Good! The tornado fries were the Star! My friends got a grilled chicken salad which looked good they said the chicken was juicy, my other friend got the salmon which I tried and was fabulous! As was the green beans which had black olives in it and were interesting but yummy and the Mac n cheese was delicious as well! I'd come back I'd just order something different myself read more

First of all. They aren't sure what time they open. Breakfast menu says 9am and Yelp says open but no one knew when we showed up. Don't do the egg scramble. It was more of a pile of potatoes with a bit of eggs. And they don't have jelly so don't get toast. The only reason they got 3 stars is the Soft Shell BLT was great. They need to skip the breakfast and stick with other items read more

My husband showed me his cf at the restaurant cf was big and juicy he said it was really good ! I asked him to Togo me some thinking it would be as big and delicious. He brought it home and they were smaller than my pinky and all dead ! He was very surprised and even said it didn't taste or look the same as when he had at the restaurant! He bought 6lbs and cf is not cheap! He and I were very disappointed ! Terrible it's like they picked out all the small and dead ones for Togo orders ! ‍ read more

It was very offensive to see one of the waitresses vaping & blowing smoke in front of the kitchen where food is picked up. Wondering if this is illegal? But it is certainly Incredibly unprofessional! This was our 1st time there-we were certainly not impressed! read more

Prices seem ridiculous! Gnats everywhere. The wings were decent, but I am not gonna pay $20 for a double cheeseburger. Ambiance is definitely dive bar. Barstools are rickety, and don't feel like they would support me--in fact, the floor moves whenever someone walks by. The place is on stilts so maybe not the safest bar unless you want to take a literal dive. read more

Food exceeded our expectations. We went on a Friday, sat at the bar and took advantage of the $10 lunch baskets. I had the fish basket, which I couldn't finish and he had the shrimp basket. Started with shrimp app and a margarita! The bartender was very attentive and the quality of the decor was very surprising. Super clean, AC was cold and we arrived by boat! Easy docking and plenty of space. Will be back! read more

We ordered plantain chips, blackened shrimp tacos (with hot sauce and mango salsa), the WATERburger (HUGE with delicious, fat fries), a couple beers and two cocktails. Our bill was only $70! Very reasonably priced. We had the sweetest server, sorry I didn't get her name. Very attentive and friendly.

I would have thought being built up in the air over the water there would be a great view of the marina and waterway there on the waterfront. Problem is when you sit down at a table you cannot see out the windows, windows are over your head. I think they would be better served with high top tables so guests can enjoy the view. We had the El Lago fish sandwich, looked good, tasted good but was not designed to fit between two buns without the sandwich falling apart in your hands and having to eat it with a fork. A little more thought might be invested on design, otherwise I would be happy with just the fish without the bun. Menu looked great, will have to come back at another time. read more

Unassuming place on the water in the middle of a boatyard, but don't sleep on this place. Service is always great, and the owner is very visible. We have sampled nearly everything on the menu at this point, and have had nothing but great food. Food and drink specials are a great value, and the happy hour is worth the stop on its own. Oh, and it's dog-friendly. Give it a try, ya'll. read more

Great fish and chicken sandwiches! Evan is top shelf! Awesome,..........................

Ambiance is festive. Service is top notch. I've only had lunch there a couple of times- the Classic Ceviche gets 5 stars!

I went to Sammy' G's and sat at the bar to finish some work. The bartenders did not bother me but made sure to make sure my drink was full and that I did not need anything else. I even asked for a specific football game to be put on the tv and Tony did it right away. The ambiance here has always been so chill and inviting no matter what time of day, or how big the crowd. It's such a perk that you can pull right up on your boat, tie off and come right in or enjoy the sunset on the deck seating. Halle kept my beer full all night and even brought me my yummy cheese stick snack as I continued to work. Love the vibe, love the music, love the "locals" feel. I have not felt this comfortable or happy about a neighborhood bar since Outriggers, so it's nice to have that again! read more

Love the food and the location. They have struggled because they're a new company and it's not directly on the street. The owner is a great chef and there are so many unique items.
