Was able to be seated for a table of 10. Service was excellent and fast! Crawfish was delicious my fav sauce is the one with everything! And Cajun fries was so crunchy and spicy. Will definitely come back!

The Service was great the people were very friendly & helpful. It was very clean on the inside and looked brand new like they just opened. The Food was good but we were told it would be spicy but it wasn't it was actually really sweet which was unexpected. Plus a lot of things either came in small amounts or a la cart & they were very expensive. So I would say Yes give it a try maybe try a different more established location & bring a few extra bucks if you want to get a little bit of everything in your boil!

UNETHICAL STAFF!!!!!! My wife and three kids walked in at 9:00 PM. Nobody sat us down, we proceeded to sit down, and the three employees looked at us and shook their heads with an annoyed appearance. We waited for 15 minutes and not one single employee came to us. We overheard other people complaining as well. The employees seemed very busy chatting and talking about how they cannot wait to get off. The place was not anywhere near full, which is why it seemed weird. What makes matters worse is that when we got up to leave,..... The three employees literally HIGH FIVED each other and laughed in joy!!!!!! I'm assuming because they had an hour and a half left they had something personal against us and were glad that we left. We don't understand what happened at all. We are definitely never the kind of people to be rude or act entitled. But this was VERY DISAPPOINTING because I take my Electrical Company Employees out for a team dinner several times a month here. Definitely going to take my money elsewhere.

Nice vibes Great service…read moreDelicious food It was our first time and definitely returning

Oh my gosh! This has to be some of the best seafood boil we have ever had in the dfw area! Hands…read moredown! First off, we were craving a seafood boil, specifically crawfish! We had been recommended Juicy's from multiple people, but the closest one to us is in fact this location, which is 20-25 min away! Which is why it took us so long to come in! I am so glad we finally decided to make the drive! I will say we did not expect the wait to be as long! We waited for approx 45 min for a table for 2. However, it was a Friday, and the food was oh so worth it! When I say there were so many people willing to wait for their table! It only speaks to the amazing food! For food we started off with some cheese sticks! They were fried to perfection! The cheese inside was indeed fully melted and the cheese pull we had is a testament to how good they were! For our boil, we decided to build our own! I will note they had a good variety of daily specials and there weekend special was so good too, we just were on a mission for some crawfish! We ordered one pound of crawfish, one pound of Black Mussels, and a half pound of snow crab legs! Every pound you order comes with potatoes and corn, and we ended up adding in egg! We chose the spiciest spice level you could, and got the juicy flavor (all seasonings combined)! BEST DECISION EVER! Overall, we cleaned the entire PLATE! It was such a great experience, from the service, to the vibes, everything hit the spot! This will definitely not be our last time in!

We were immediately seated. the server was attentive and friendly, not worried about us choosing the most expensive item on the menu. She gave us plenty of time to decide. Food is amazing as always. We started with brussels sprouts. Then a four meat pizza, a pesto pizza, and a burger. All delicious. Against our better judgment, we ordered a chocolate crème brûlée, which was a new dessert for all of us and even though we only planned on having a few bites, we almost finished it. Absolutely amazing if you're a chocolate connoisseur. Teamwork is obvious a waitress we didn't know offered to box up our pizzas. You're truly missing out if you don't hit this spot when you are in the area . Service, food and atmosphere top . Even the patrons are cool, laid-back and friendly. Apparently all the cool kids eat there. Do yourself a favor and make Nova a regular stop when you're in the area.

Located in Trinity Groves, Pesca Costal Classics is the latest offering from chef and restauranteur…read moreJesus Carmona. He's had great success in the Dallas area with Tacos Mariachi, Milagro Taco, and Chimichurri. Pesca features classic seafood entrees with a twist. I've been to Pesca a few times and I'm very impressed. The space is very open and consists of a few booths plus several table/chair combos. On all of my visits, the staff is always super friendly and very knowledgeable of the standard menu plus any specials. Add to it, they have a full bar with several custom drinks which the staff recommend. On my most recent visit, I went for dinner and throughly enjoyed the Blackened Catfish & Crab entree which has easily become my favorite here. It comes with a catfish filet, crab on top and served in a lemon butter sauce. It comes with both asparagus and a garlic mash...simply delicious!! That said, every thing I've had here has been super tasty!! Pesca does have a weekend brunch menu which I still need to try. If you have not visited yet, what are you waiting for. Whether it's for a special occasion or just dropping in for a great meal, Pesca Coastal Classics should be on your list.

We had the Jumbo Shrimp Seafood Boil, traditional and Mexico City micheladas with Pacifico, and finished with the crème brûlée. Every dish was excellent. Our waiter, Michael, was incredibly kind and welcoming. He made sure our drinks were to our liking and even offered to remake them if needed. Chef Roger also stopped by our table personally to check on us and make sure everything was good. The restaurant was very clean, the ambiance was great, and the service was outstanding. It honestly made me a little sad to see it so quiet because places with good food, great people, and excellent hospitality deserve to be busy. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back.

Comfortable atmosphere, friendly and attentive service, delicious food that is really reasonably priced, especially if you get one of their daily specials. Where else can you get two pupusas of your choice, a side of rice and beans for 10 bucks! And this is a filling meal. Rice and beans are always fresh as are the pupusas. They even throw in chips and salsa. But beyond their Salvadoran cuisine they offer some killer steaks and unique killer cocktails, which is why I always sit at the bar. Whenever you find yourself in South Dallas I strongly recommend coming here.

Upon arrival, they had daily special out with a perfect vegetarian option! I was instantly glowing! More options to pick from! We go in and it's minimal but nice and clean, plenty of seating in two huge rooms. We sat down and were served instantly. We were given free chips with salsa. I got a mimosa, vegetarian popusa, and a corn tamale. Everything was delectable. The portions were perfect. I love that they have vegan and vegetarian options! The location is in a up and coming area, was not that nice years ago. There is plenty of parking but depending on the time you arrive you may have to pay for parking. I think it's free after 6pm. The price was also perfect for what we got! We lined this location and will continue to come in

Where the soul of Louisiana meets the heart of Texas!…read more Such a great find! Worth the drive! We came across The Pelican House while staying at a hotel in the area. We're not from Duncanville--we traveled in for sports--and were looking for somewhere good to eat. After seeing all the great reviews, we decided to give it a try, and I'm SO glad we did! We walked in with a party of 7 and were seated right away with no wait. Our server, Lou, took care of us all night and was absolutely wonderful. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, and he made the whole experience even better. And the FOOD. We started with the fried alligator appetizer, which was such a fun thing to try and was delicious. For our meals, we had the blackened shrimp & rice, chicken and waffles, and fried shrimp, and everyone at the table was raving about their food. We finished everything off with the beignets, because obviously we had to. We all left completely stuffed, happy, and already talking about coming back. It's not exactly a quick drive for us, but we would absolutely make the trip back to The Pelican House. Great food, great service, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. If you're in the area, put this place on your list!

I ordered through Uber Eats…read more The fish and shrimp were good, but overall the meal was disappointing. The gumbo was too salty and did not smell fresh. The chips were packaged underneath the hot fish, which made them soggy, so they should have been packaged separately. I asked for coctail and tartar and got a minimal amount of a coctail sauslce and some other sauce at was yellow. We didnt bother trying it. The Cajun rolls also were not spicy at all and lacked the flavor I expected. While the fish and shrimp were enjoyable, the other dishes took away from the overall experience.
