    Cajun cuisine I'm seeing. This Louisiana native has to give them a try. I walk into this establishment and see the French Cross, an article when LSU won the national football championship with Nick Saban as the head coach, and various other Louisiana inspired items all around the place. I asked the waitress who on the staff was from Louisiana and she said no one was. Considering I'm in medium sized town Texas, I should not have been surprised. The waitress informed me the owner of the business was from Louisiana. The good: There is a lot of options on the menu. I walked in and saw a glutten free and keto option for those who follow those eating regiments. Gator...it's on the menu. Shrimp, fish and other seafood are served several different ways. There is even a good assortment for your sweet tooth. The bad: In Louisiana, generally speaking, you get a lot of food for your money. The food I had was almost $90 and that just didn't pass the eye or belly test for me. Portion size versus price ratio is WAY off. The ugly: Louisiana is known for flavor. We are not known for burning your mouth, but known for awakening your taste buds. This food was not made with Cajun love! Those Cajuns do not care about your high blood pressure, cholesterol or diabetes. They cook good tasting food and let you make your own destiny. This food was well prepared, in regard to frying texture, but the flavor level was nonexistent. The exception to that rule was the etouffee...I thought that had good flavor. The boudin balls almost had good flavor. I was really disappointed in the size of the slice of cheesecake. They lined the cheesecake with whipped cream to make it look bigger than it was. I should have opted for the homemade pecan pie. Will I go back to this place? Maybe. This place is a solid 3 star experience. If they have a food deal with decent pricing, I would definitely stop by again. I would just know that utilization of their condiments on the table (pink sauce, Cajun ranch, etc.) is a must. Maybe I'll try the lunch special to see if the portion sizes align with that particular decent price...

    Cajun Trio! With Red beans and rice, dark roux gumbo and shrimp and crawfish etouffe! Delicious!!

    Shrimp Boat Manny's is the best place to eat seafood in Livingston! We came here at the recommendation of a friend that is from Livingston and we were not disappointed! We were greates promptly at the door, and seated quickly! The restaurant is clean and has very quaint sea themed interior! Bathrooms were clean and stocked! Holly was our waitress and she was very friendly and prompt with drinks, and food. She answered all of our questions about the menu and was very knowledgeable! We are extremely satisfied and will definitely be back when we return to Livingston.

From what we could see, the kitchen looked clean and the drive-thru area was well kept. After a few minutes looking over the menu, a sweet young lady took our order and asked us to pull forward to the waiting area. About 20 minutes later, she brought out our food, explained how everything was packed, and we headed home. Once we got home, we were impressed with how nicely everything was packaged. We ordered the crawfish chowder--excellent, creamy, and loaded with meat and veggies! We also got the boudin egg rolls, which were large, crispy, and very tasty. And then the King Trio: King crab legs, Dungeness clusters, shrimp, potatoes, and corn. There was a great amount of King crab, and we added an extra Dungeness cluster, so it was definitely plenty of food. Everything was cooked perfectly, though a few bites were a bit salty--but still delicious. We'll definitely be going back to try more dishes... and we won't try to walk in next time! Bring cash for a tip! I didn't a felt really bad... I'll hook her up next time!

    This is a solid 3.5-star place…read more One thing that everyone should expect from any place that claims to be Cajun/Creole is an abundance of flavor. This place, nestled many miles away from downtown Livingston, is simply a building with a full working kitchen. I did not see a restroom at all. All I saw were refrigerators, stoves, fryers, and a microwave. I am comfortable giving this place 4 stars because the owner said he made everything himself. That would be homemade biscuits, sausages, and boudin. That also includes any sauces he gives you. Enough with all of that: Service is friendly and efficient. The menu isn't large, and the owner does make suggestions. Pricing is way below the area for anything smoked or barbecued. Taste wise, the item with the most flavor was the barbecue baked beans. It gave off a taste of a light smoky molasses. The brisket and ribs were moist and fell off the bones, respectively. Both meats could have used a tad bit more seasoning. The fried boudin jalapeño had good texture but lacked the most in the flavor department. The biscuit tasted homemade and is a smart choice over regular bread. The sausage has balanced flavor and bite. He maintained a juicy meat with his sausage (pause). Overall, if I'm in the area, I would not hesitate to go back to try more items. Be forewarned, get there soon, because he has plans on moving in 2025. One more thing: it's a big kitchen = no where for you to sit inside.

    Don't hesitate to check it out! Not from the area and just looked on yelp for something close. The…read moreowner is super nice and the food was excellent! I'll be back next time I pass through
