First time coming here and the experience was warm. Was met by the owner and his mother in law and…read morethey were both engaging. The ambiance was cozy and felt like a neighborhood spot that their frequent customers know, they can come here for their favorite dish. Decided to get their full order of fried shrimp and they didn't disappoint. They were fresh and they had just the right amount of seasoning to leave a lasting taste in your mouth. Definitely will be back to try something else from the menu.

This is one of those spots that the locals know about. It's definitely...IYKYK spots. Outside,…read morethere isn't a sign that says the name. There's a place for it, but it may be under repair. ‍ I did get a laugh at the sign over the front door. Once inside I was pleasantly surprised! The bar is right up front, and to the left are several romantic swanky tables. Jazz and R&B music was playing. Great ambiance. Be careful when walking, because the floor is plank like flooring. Same for when heading out to the backyard patio area. I was told by my party to order food at the bar before going to the patio. This was a good tip because I didn't notice anyone servicing the tables prior to the food arriving. The outdoor area is literally like being in a backyard with several areas to sit. The food looked really good. However, being allergic to shrimp, I didn't want to risk eating fish fried in the shrimp oil. So I opted for the Cobb Salad. Note: They don't offer diet sodas. So I had water with a slice of lemon, in a fancy wine glass. I felt fancy! My group had an awesome time. Next time I may bring my citronella candle to keep the flies at bay, especially once the food arrives. I am looking forward to returning with my guy for a quaint dinner.

The vibe is great, the decor is awesome, the food delivers consistently, and service rarely takes a day off -- it's just a solid place to go when you're up for some great southern comfort classics. Cocktails, delicious. The daily food specials make it refreshing. The oysters never disappoint. We've rarely had to wait long on any ordered items and servers are all top notch. My only minor complaint is some of the larger groups visiting can sometimes forget there are others in the restaurant. We don't need to hear your entire conversation about the latest office gossip.

*this review is only for crawfish, not their regular menu (which is amazing) *…read more We went here during crawfish season because they've been advertising their $8/lb crawfish, and we trusted that it would be great given the quality of their regular menu. We went on a Saturday for lunch. Hopefully this was just a one-off, but if you're looking for good Cajun boiled crawfish, this is not it. We started off with 6 lbs (group of 4) of their regular crawfish. First off, they put the Cajun seasoning on outside/shell (!!), which is a cardinal sin for Cajuns. They also minimally seasoned the boil, so the meat was lacking salt and flavor. We ordered 3 more lbs with the "wet sauce" (garlic butter), thinking the lack of flavor may be attributed to this being the first-ish batch of the day. Nope, the second batch was even less seasoned than the first. The sauce was good, but it didn't make up for the unseasoned meat. The crawfish were a good size, at least... Come on guys, I expect more from a Gulf Coast seafood restaurant!

Guys, THEY MOVED!!! New location is about a 5-7 minute drive from the old one. Check the address…read more As always, the food and service never disappoint. My go-to is the Overload over rice. When I got home, however, discovered that it was over egg noodles this time. No worries though. We come for the cream sauce and the large potion sizes, not the carb that's included, right?! Also, they offer a new tea made in house with Pineapple and Peach. To die for. It is sweet but not aggressively so. The inside has about 3 booths and counter seating now. The location is on the end cap of a strip where Level One Fitness is, across the street from Young Women's College Preparatory Academy. The service is always stellar and personable. The owner is a couple. The wife usually takes the orders but on this day, there was a vendor assisting with the new cashless payment and menu system. There isn't a lot of parking so you'll have to park around the corner, on the street, in front of the church across the street. If you're lucky, you might be able to snag one of the few spots right in front of the door but that'll depend on if there is a group fitness class going on at the gym. So extremely happy that they now have a store front and have expanded beyond the back counter in the gas station. Will return soon for some more Pineapple/Peach tea!!!!

I really wanted this to be a hit. Seafood, oysters, alcohol....vibes and a time right? It wasn't…read more I tried the bang bang shrimp, fried pickles, and chargrilled oysters. Something simple that should be an easy win. Unfortunately, everything leaned the same direction: either it was heavy, over-sauced, or overly garlicky. It tasted more like dressed-up frozen food than something thoughtfully prepared. And listen...I don't mind indulgent. But there still has to be balance and fresh food. Fresh like it was raw and delivered today, not fresh like fried in the last 15 mins. When everything is coated, covered, and competing, nothing actually stands out. The drinks didn't help either. They leaned hard on alcohol without much flavor behind them--more "this will get you there" than "this tastes good." Nothing was terrible. But nothing made me want another bite, either. And with seafood, that's kind of the whole point. The atmosphere is friendly, great music, and the service was very attentive. Even the presentation wasn't bad. It just wasn't enough. But at some point, you stop asking what's missing and just accept that it's not landing. I was still hungry so I went next door hoping for a better experience. I want to be clear: It's not bad. It's just not working.

It's the same dishes you've had at a dozen other Mexican restaurants around the city. Nothing on the plate made anyone at our table lean over and say "Okay, you have to try this." For what they're charging, you'd hope for at least one moment like that. Didn't happen. The one thing that genuinely bothered us was that we told them ahead of time that someone in our group had a spice allergy. Not a preference, an allergy. We were pretty explicit about it. It didn't seem to matter much. That's the kind of thing a restaurant really needs to get right, and they dropped the ball. Service was actually okay, though, to be fair. No real issues there, the staff were friendly and attentive enough. So there's that. But honestly? Houston has too many good options to settle for an overpriced average. If you're craving Mexican food, there are places in this city that will blow your mind for the same money or less. This just isn't one of them. We might swing by again someday if we're nearby, but we're not going out of our way.

I believe they advertise themselves as Vietnamese-style crawfish. I'm used to New Orleans/Louisiana style crawfish, but nonetheless, I was still eager to try. They started selling crawfish at 3 I got in line at 3:25. Line was small but moved veryyyy slowly. I got 2 lbs. ($11/lb pricey !!) of the hot & buttered -spicy, 2 eggs, and a sausage. It took about 45 min. to get my food. The sausage was decent but ultimately, I didn't taste any spice. It wasn't spicy at all. It was easy to peel so that was nice but I could tell the crawfish weren't from Louisiana waters .Idk i didn't like it, that's just me. It was worth a try though. The lines were long and I only see them getting longer as summer approaches. Still check them out, you just may like it!
