    Catfish & shrimp

    My bf Mom told him about this place. Always wanted to try it. Glad he did, it was amazingly good. Going back for sure!! I have so many different plates I need to try.

    I am shocked no one has reviewed this place yet! This place has been around for over 22 years and I have been eating here at least 17 years. This is truly a hidden gem hole in the wall. The Shrimp Galley is tiny and most people get their orders to go. Everything is cooked as it is ordered, no food sitting around here. Burgers, fried seafood, fountain drinks and the friendliest customer service. The same lady has worked the register forever...I can't even remember a time when she has not been there. She has gotten to know all the customers and always has a great attitude and smile. Surprisingly the prices manage to be affordable and the quality is great. The portions are big....each seafood order comes with toast (the old fashion kind with butter and grilled), salad and fries. I like that the seafood is fried with flour- not cornmeal. They serve the best cocktail sauce....not sure why or what makes it different but it is GOOD. I paid $13.99 total for shrimp basket & oyster & shrimp basket. Don't let the cheap prices fool you- the food makes my taste buds dance! I no longer live in the area but I do make it a point to stop by when I am around. Plenty of parking...support this local small business.

    I have been coming to Shrimp Galley as a kid. The good is super good and cheap. Burger and onion rings are damn good.

    Great double meat cheeseburgers beats McDonald's that's across the street.

    I live just a few homes down from this business. I've been a customer since 1995. Love this place, so good. Best in town for sure.

    The plates are complete, well-served, and full of flavor. Everything is well seasoned, very fresh,…read moreand truly delicious The service was very good -- the young lady who assisted us was attentive, kind, and professional As a constructive note, the place could improve the maintenance of the facilities, especially the entrance and exit areas. A pressure wash and quick table recovery/cleaning would make the experience even better. Overall, a great place for fresh and tasty seafood. We enjoyed it and would come back. Los platos son completos, bien servidos y muy sabrosos.

Un lavado a presión y la recuperación inmediata de las mesas harían la experiencia aún mejor. En general, un muy buen lugar para comer mariscos frescos y sabrosos. Volveríamos. #Hashtags: #MamboSeafood #FreshSeafood #GoodFlavor #WellSeasoned #GreatService #HoustonEats #SeafoodLovers #HonestReview #GoodFoodGoodVibes

    I will forever be a friend of mambo seafood. Some of the best food you can get in Houston Texas…read more Their fish and shrimp are made to perfection and always fresh and full of flavor. Also, you cannot go wrong with the mambo fried rice. It's literally the best. To make it extra special put some of that hot habanero sauce on it and man you're talking about you got a great meal. Also, the pricing here is great. Where can you get a meal for lunch for around $10? Such a great value in my opinion. Also, recently they started up a loyalty program, which I think is amazing I come here all the time and I will absolutely take advantage of this. The service is usually really fast too. They'll get you in and out of here in like 15 or 20 minutes. All of their locations are consistently really good. Easy five star review.

    Awesome food, good music, did I say good food!!! Service was exceptional. Family friendly. You know…read morethe food is good when you ask for plain rice just to eat the seafood boil sauce!! Thank you Nina, we will be back!

    Okay let me tell you. The food... is damn good. My friends and I arrived right as the restaurant…read moreopened at 2 PM. The parking is a little tricky or strange. The lines are diagonal, but you actually have to park your car straight Um, the exterior does not have a sign so you may get a little confused, because it's on the corner of Scott and McGregor but there's no sign indicating what the restaurant's called, but anywho. The interior of the place is surprising it's really cute, cozy esthetic, and has a large patio, that I didn't try because it's too hot. You order your food at the bar, my friend, and I both got a moscato. And no, thanks, it is box wine, and it was flat, and it wasn't good. My other friend ordered An old-fashioned and she said, it tasted pretty good. I ordered the catfish and grits, 10 out of 10. The catfish was fried perfectly. The grits were nice and creamy I. Also got a side of red beans and rice and they were fire. Really, really good. My friend additionally got the grits with shrimp. She said it was good. Now. Would I return back to this place? Probably not. Would I order pickup? Absolutely because the the one big issue, as someone else stated, the food is good, if you can get it, it took an hour for our food to come out. We had finished our drinks and were parched. They don't offer you water because again, you have to order at the counter and the food took an hour to come out and to the point some people that ordered after us got their food before us. I think there is literally only one person working in the kitchen. My recommendation is, if you want to check this place out, come partially full and with patience or call in your order for pickup. So yes, the food is good but I will not be dining in again
