    Kitchen closes around 11 every night bar at 2am. Oldest bar in the town, good decor, nice staff, local folk, great spot if you are going from Houston to Louisiana. Some would consider it a dive others would consider it a watering hole, it's a community spot and a good one.

    I only come here for the food, Boudain Balls specifically some of the BEST Boudain Balls in the area. The Boudain Hut has been here as a long time establishment for people to come hang out, drink, and spend time with friends. They have been known for their crawfish boils, BBQ's, fundraisers, and things of that nature.. but I come here for the Boudain Balls. Your not from around here and don't know about Boudain? Well, Boudain is a traditional Cajun styled meat sausage that is filled with rice, grains, seasonings, meats, and other flavors from the cook's pantry that is placed in a "Sausage styled" casing. Everyone does it differently... so that is NOT the debate here, just the explanation for the non-boudain folk. You ask: "well if that is Boudain.. where are the balls?"... I answer simply that the Boudain link has NO BALLS.. [grinning] But what you can do is get that fine mixture of boudain that the cook has created, shape it using an ice cream scoop, batter/bread it and deep fry it for a delectable taste of a now Fried "Boudain Ball".. that is what you get. Simply put, you need to go there to taste them. They are worth the visit, you may need to wait a bit and have a local drink while they cook them up fresh... but you will not be discouraged and your time waiting will be well invested. Spend some time, go down the highway, and visit the Boudain Hut for some great fried Boudain Balls. You will leave happy, filled, and probably ready for a nap... oh yeah, order enough to take some home for later; your friends and family will love you for it.

    So not saying I'll never go back but this visit was not the best. Don't expect good/any service if you aren't a "regular" once I finally was noticed the first 3 things I wanted were not available. So I left and went to Larry's for gumbo and MAN it was amazing!

    Cool place to go. Live music all the time.. Good Boudain and cheap cold beer!

    A local establishment with low grade, but decent Cajun food. I've never been here at night, but I do compliment the place on early hours. The bartenders that I've seen are "okay" yet not quite attentive. The gumbo is, for a New Orleanean, BAD. The boudin balls are, well, decent. I still come here though. It's a bar. I can drink at 7am. They have music playing on the jukebox. You can smoke here. It's a local place. I've met local people. And the place is okay.

    When they used to make the boudin balls fresh on site it was great. Now they are pre-made from a bag.

    Decided to try this place and The boudin balls were tiny and very salty, nothing to write home about for sure.

    I had the pleasure of celebrating one of my favorite cousins at The Neches River Wheelhouse, and…read morewhat a wonderful evening it was! This beautiful restaurant sits right on the Neches River, offering a relaxing and scenic atmosphere. Whether you choose to sit downstairs or upstairs on the patio, you'll enjoy watching boats and ships glide by while sharing great food and even better company. It's the perfect setting to slow down, relax, and enjoy the moment. Our service was absolutely top-tier! Every staff member greeted us with a smile, and despite our party of 40-50 guests, the food came out quickly and efficiently. No one was left waiting, and that kind of service deserves recognition! We kicked things off with a delicious Sampler Platter featuring crispy boudin balls, fried green tomatoes, cheese sticks, and bacon-wrapped shrimp. Everything arrived piping hot, fresh, and full of flavor! For my entrée, I chose the Chargrilled Salmon topped with a rich lemon butter sauce. I swapped the rice for green beans, and it also came with a fresh vegetable medley. The salmon was perfectly cooked--moist, tender, and never dry. Just the way I like it! My husband ordered the Atchafalaya Catfish--blackened catfish fillets topped with crawfish tails and a buttery lemon sauce, served with dirty rice and green beans. He gave it two thumbs up! From the beautiful riverside views to the outstanding hospitality and delicious food, The Neches River Wheelhouse made our family celebration even more special. Now I need your help!
