    Crawfish and shrimp étouffée
    Christopher C.

    Our server Reggie was the man! He had such an infectious energy with us and gave us a pitcher of water and was all around an excellent host! The food was decent, but a smidge pricey. The crawfish étouffée had great body, but was a bit too heavy! The crab queso hit! Cheers!

    We ordered some canned beverages. I cannot comment on their food, but the staff seemed confused and unaware of their duties, which made the customers uncomfortable. On the positive side, I liked the view and the interior design of the restaurant.

    Garlic Parmesan and Hot Honey wings
    Angelica C.

    The best thing we had here were the 75cent wings and the fried calamari . We got lemon pepper, hot honey and garlic Parmesan flavored wings. My son got a kids size fried fish and fries however when I tried it I had to spit it out. The fish tasted extremely fishy and not fresh at all!!! I really liked all the tvs and screens at the booth and our waitress was incredibly attentive. I would come again just not get the fish and chips.

    Kids meal chicken nuggets and fries

    Me and my family wanted something to eat after leaving a volleyball tournament so we decided to stop by here and grab something to eat and we didn't even know that there was another location other than the Richmond, so why not. So the server was good. She was really nice and really suggestive. What I can say is the place was really decorated. The music was nice. The food came out hot and fresh I didn't go to the bathroom so I don't even know how they were, but I can definitely say most of the food was bland except for the crawfish besides being frozen it was definitely flavor flavorful and mixed sizes not a lot small. The crab dip was amazing and the chicken nuggets were OK. The oyster Rockefellerwasbomb.com.

    Patio views

    It's at a beautiful location and I love that you can bring your dogs on the patio and look at the lake views but that's about all I like about this place. I wasn't pleased with the small amount of food that came with my meal, even if it was a lunch portion. And the only thing that tasted good was the mashed potatoes. My dog barely ate his food. My friend ordered a different meal for her dog and they brought her the same one I ordered egg & rice, she ordered chicken, egg & rice but it didn't have any chicken in it.

    Crawfish was amazing & our service really made everything 10x better. We got here around 12:30 and got our food almost 5 mins after we ordered it! Sydney came out with our food and drinks super fast and had amazing customer service! When you guys come definitely ask for her

    Calamari appetizers. We had already dug into it by the time I remembered I needed to take a pic.

    I'm totally kicking myself for not stopping in at Sam's before now. I've passed this restaurant so many times and always said "I'm gonna go eat there next time". Well that time was today and it did not disappoint. We were told to seat ourselves and a server would be right by. We sat and had to flag a person for assistance but they were very apologetic and after that we had 3 servers rush over yo greet us and get us menus. From there it was all uphill. We ordered the calamari as an appetizer and it was delicious. Our entrees were the bacon barbecue burger, shrimp brochettes with a wedge salad and the blackened fish tacos with borracho beans. The shrimp was served over the most delicious crispy onions that were reminiscent of the onion loaf from Tony Romas. The tacos were good but the tortillas fell apart instantly. The tortillas should've been warmed over a stove vs in a microwave but the fish was good regardless. For dessert we had the Tres Leches cheesecake and bourbon bread pudding. I will have dreams about the bread pudding! We will definitely be back and ask for Billie's section. She was an amazing server so I would recommend you ask for her too.

    Boat sampler

    Food was great! Service was even better. My server was Angel she was so sweet and accommodating. I ordered the boat sampler which is perfect , a little bit of everything you want. She recommended the Cadillac margarita . 10/10 would recommend

    The food was amazing/ amazing service! Food came out super and fast and it was overall amazing.

    We opted to sit outside which is self seating. Our server came out in a couple minutes and brought menus. My mango and regular margaritas were weak and tasted watered down. The crawfish needed to be seasoned and soaked better. I asked for extra spice and I got it but it had zero flavor. I had to mix some of the liquid with garlic butter and salt to get something flavorful to dip the crawfish in. The crab bites were good and the shrimp basket was fine but could use more seasoning. Our server Ana was nice.

    Is the patio dog friendly?

    Yes it is

    This is my go to place for great fried shrimp in a relaxing atmosphere? What else is really good here?

    I have been to the Towne Lake location twice and I am not impressed with anything but the service. The drinks are watered down and I would rather eat at a fast food restaurant. I actually have had better quality food at North Cypress Med Center.

Fries were nice and hot. My kid's Mac n cheese kids meal came with a side. We ordered fries. It was a decent size and he enjoyed it. Service is a little leisurely and slow outside, so not a place for a quick meal. I would keep that in mind when you eat here. If you are impatient, it is better to eat elsewhere. Our server was good and friendly though, which I appreciated. I'd come back for the burger for sure.

This spot is small and new so not that many customers, but we were still greeted with lots of love and kindness, especially our waitress she was so nice and patient with us. We got started with the cheese fries to snack on and sadly I didn't get a picture because they looked so good and they were so good and crispy and super cheesy. Now for the food we all ordered wings and a classic burger, the burger was juicy and flavorful which caught me by surprise. The wings were huge nothing compared to the small wings at wingstop, but I was kinda disappointed the mango habanero was not spicy or had any flavor to what mango habanero should taste like. We had asked for spicy lemon pepper but it wasn't on the menu but the waitress told us to not worry they will make it work, but when we got to try them it was a whole different flavor it was sweet and not even spicy or lemony which was confusing but we still ate them hahah, I'll just know next time I'll stick to a flavor I know, now the fries omg they were one of the best fries I've tried, so crispy and seasoned I was just munching on the fries. Overall the ambiance was chill and quiet waitress was lovely, the food well it's good but the flavors is what threw me off but I will definitely be back for a burger some good fries and a chill lunch spot to just hang out.
