    Smoked Boudain balls
    Valencia H.

    Ducked off down a random storage lot. Well worth the drive. Stopped here on our way back from Galveston. The reviews didn't lie the burgers are good even though this is a seafood spot. The fish is fried to perfection nice and crispy but still moist and flaky. They have the best hush puppies . One of the specials were the smoked boudain balls with jalapeño cheese. Will definitely be back when it warms up.

    I asked our table for an honest review and my picky granddaughter yelled 4.5 stars. The food was really good. The resteraunt is a true local dive and a must visit. The location is off the main path a little, but we really recommend if your in town come and give it a try!!

    We went there at noon and ordered the lunch set meal for US$32 (excluding tax). You can also add other drinks or other items by yourself. It

    Best fish and chips I've tried locally. The service was excellent and the owner ame over to introduce herself after we finished our meal. The atmosphere was inviting and the place (even restrooms) clean. We will be going back! The service was nice, polite and very fast. Food was great.. a great hole in the wall fishermen hang out. My beautiful mother brought my sister and me here for lunch over Spring Break. She and my brother raved about this place. We tried to visit on a Sunday but it was packed. We tried again on Tuesday (they are closed on Monday), scored a table, and ordered with no wait.

    Was out fishing at Texas city dike and stopped by to have lunch and ordered a fish poboy . First time trying this place and it didn't disappoint. Very cool location by the water . Will definitely be back again. Clean restaurant and friendly service.

    Oh Mylanta.. So Damn Good.

    A hidden gem with amazing food and service with a smile. The burgers are off the chain and the homemade onion rings.... O M G .

    Probably the best catfish I have ever had. I was so impressed next time I'm down in that area. I will definitely go back.

    My boyfriend really talked this place up to me so I was excited to try it - he did warn me that the…read moreemployees aren't always super helpful. We were given an inflated price that overcharged by about $20 from what we calculated the total should be for our three items: full rack of ribs, mushroom burger, 10 wings. At the window we asked for an itemized receipt - we were told they didn't have one as we were waiting we took a picture of the menu - did the math and came to the conclusion we were indeed overcharged. Upon talking with the owner he was able to provide an itemized receipt and he did NOT overcharge us - it's just that their menu does not reflect what they're actually going to charge you - on the menu for the ribs stated 22.99 and we were charged 29.99. The reasoning being they have larger ribs now. I don't know how big the old ribs were but these are huge! The food is fantastic -the best ribs I've had in Texas- just beware of how much you're paying and have extra money available. I think it would be simple to stick some white tape over the old prices and sharpie in the new prices- just a suggestion.

    Great authentic Cajun accent, Joe, but where's the Cajun food?…read moreJoe must have a loyal following, because the place (now Cajun Joe's Premium Seafood) has been in business for 15 years, although under at least one other name: Cajun Joe's Fried Chicken. The building shows wear and tear (perhaps from hurricane Ike) and looks like an old KFC building. The sign out front (including logo) indicates chicken. I am in a hurry, so I opt for the drive through. Menu is so extensive for such a small number of customers and staff that it likely means most is from frozen. Seafood, burgers, chicken, BBQ... and surprisingly (may we have a drum roll please) ... Mexican food! Oh, and pork chops! Burger was recommended by a local craftsperson, but seafood is the namesake. Choices: Catfish, redfish, snapper, shrimp. I order the 5 pc fried shrimp, with fries and toast for $6. While I am waiting at the window of the drive through, I look straight ahead, and lo and behold I am surprised to be looking into someone's back yard and patio windows with only wire hurricane fence separating us. Maybe they're looking back at me. What if it were night time? It would seem the headlights shining directly in the patio door windows might bother them. Or, maybe this saves money on the light bill. Or, maybe there aren't many night CJ customers. Or, maybe that is CJ's house. Still waiting for Joe at the window. I look into the restaurant. Nice Tiffany-lamp style stained glass hanging lamp shades over the table, with "Cajun Joe's" on it. Joe must be the only worker on a Sunday. I guess he is a Jacque of all trades. There are some other customers inside. Now a truck pulled in behind my car. Food must not be that bad. Well, the shrimp looked and tasted like they were bought pre-breaded. They were overcooked and tough. The tartar sauce was horrible. The fries were ok. "Premium Seafood"?? No. Garlic bread was excellent, though. Maybe spaghetti should be added to the menu. I guess I should have ordered a burger. I am starting to sense that Joe tried chicken when he first bought the place, but there was probably a reason KFC failed. So, then he tried adding other things to the menu in hopes of bringing in more business. But they are all missing 'La Marque' (pun intended). In fairness to CJ's, the whole area is down; for example, La Marque's Mall of the Mainland is mostly a ghost mall and a failure.
