Fried Crab Fingers and Hush Puppies (10 Pcs)
Nichelle R.

The food was alright and I've had better seafood boils. We had a reservation but we were waiting for two more people and we were told that we needed to wait for the whole party to be there to be seated. Which was pretty frustrating but we were patient enough to wait. We finally got seated and the food was just fine. Nothing too special and honestly the seasonings could have been better. Our waiter was pretty nice so I'm grateful for that. The restaurant felt stuffy to me because I went whenever it was packed which is okay due to that. Yet I still found a lot of trash around my table like it wasn't cleaned properly. I even found a whole corn under my seat and I don't eat corn. Overall I wouldn't really come back here and would drive somewhere else for better seafood.

I recently visited the famous crab with my family Yesterday night and unfortunately, our experience was far from enjoyable. we found a beetle in our food and my husband actually bit into it. We immediately called for the manager and he told us "sorry i'll take care of it ".We waited over 20 min for someone to come back to our table , the manager nor the server came back. After 20+ minutes she walked by and we called our server over , they still made us pay for the rest of our bill. i was so disgusted in the moment we just paid for it and left. i'm Honestly disappointed because we come here pretty often. Not only about the bug that he bit into but overall the way they handled the whole situation smh. ew

Porsche our waitress was very patient, nice, friendly, upbeat and her suggestions were helpful. But the food was very disappointing . For the price and the portion they give it's not worth the money.The Deluxe Cajun gumbo we ordered was good but yet it was a very small portion. The "Famous pasta" filled less than half the plate with bread on more than half on the other side. The fish platter only came with one very small fillet fish, four shrimp and a dollop of rice for $25. The drinks we received came in very small glasses. Two of their drinks would equal one at Cheddars at half the price. We could've got plates at Cheddars for that price with double the portions. There are so many places that have better prices and bigger portions. But to be fair we didn't get any of the boil and that maybe where they out due themselves.

There was no wait, the restaurant was clean and the wooden booths are nice. The food was good, we had the medium boil, Cajun and it was a lot of food! The sour apple martini was also good!

The unveiling of the boil!

The food was good but things could have been better. We had a boil and added turkey necks. The necks tough! Had margaritas, no tequila.

King crab legs, scallops, mushrooms, and corn

It's one of the few places in SE Houston that has a good seafood boil! Their chicken tenders are also great for picky eaters

You would think all the great cocktail bars would be in the heart of the city, but the Clear Lake…read morearea has some major contenders. Getting to this area from Pearland is much easier than heading into Houston so I was more than happy to come here. I've been here a couple of times and the most recent visit brought me and a party bus full of friends here on a Saturday night. The place gets busy but parking hasn't been an issue on any of my visits. It's a narrow bar that may seem tight, but it keeps going towards the back with more seating as well as a spacious patio. Customer service is always great and the bartenders know their stuff here. They have a pretty extensive drink menu here and there is something for everyone's preferences. They have a long list of cocktails and they can make you anything you want as well. The staff are experts here. They also have an impressive bourbon collections with about 200 kinds to choose from. Along with their cocktails, they have a long list of martinis. I love a good martini and here they have so many options. You can't go wrong with my favorite espresso martini, but the one that wowed me here was the Cucumber Patch. Cucumber flavor profile is not typically something I seek out, but I was in the mood for something refreshing and this was suggested to me. Get it and thank me later. As far as food goes, they have a separate BBQ business on site that sells some food. Don't sleep on the Bay Area if you are looking for a nice cocktail. This place will quickly be one of your favorites. I will surely be back.

The Davenport Lounge Clear Lake has probably been there for years, and I somehow just now decided…read moreto check it out. I've driven by a countless number of times, and you'd never really know it's there. But walking in, you immediately get that local dive bar kinda vibe in the best way possible. I met up with some friends here for a chill drink after work, and to our surprise it was karaoke night! I have to applaud the regulars here because they can really SING! But don't be shy if you can't, they were welcome to everyone going up for a song. As far as drinks go, I had the Alimony. I was sold on it because it's gin, guava juice and elderflower liquor. Balanced, not too sweet, and had a little bit of sparkling effervescence. Pair that with a shot or a beer, and we were having a great time catching up with old friends. I don't remember our bartender's name, but she gave us great service. Overall 10/10 recommend the Davenport Lounge Clear Lake if you're looking for where the locals go, trust me they know best.
