Seafood enchiladas
Holly C.

I've eaten at 3 locations: Henderson, Lufkin, and Longview. I've eaten at Longview location several times, and I'm seeing improvement with food consistency and service. Some of my prior experiences haven't been the best, but I gave grace to the establishment as they were just opening. The salsa was the best it has EVER been last night. Even better than Henderson (which has always been my favorite location). We love the boudin balls, seafood enchiladas, and fajitas. The seafood enchiladas and ribeye fajitas have large portions and can easily be shared by two. My last two visits have been for bday parties in the private room. The waitresses were wonderful.

A big plus for having fresh jalapeños. The bland salsa will need it.

I really like the raucous, colorful atmosphere of Tia Juanita's Fish Camp. It's a fun place to hang out. The food is affordable, abundant, and varied...everything from shrimp and oysters to tacos and fajitas. But after a couple visits, I've come to accept that the food here is just OK. It's not bad; it's just not crave-worthy. Your tastes may vary.

If you like seafood as Cajun, this is the place for you. Don't miss out. Great place. Staff was amazing. The food was off the chart. Highly recommend.

Margarita

Eclectic establishment. No reservations which made seating our group of 7 a hassle - even on a Monday. Large frozen margaritas looked good but lacked flavor. Sampler was just ok - just 2 tablespoons of guac and queso was so thin. Wouldn't get it again. Beef fajitas were great. Beans were tasty. Rice was dry. Flour tortillas tasted fresh.

Finally made it and was blown away! Soo many things we wanted to try which is a good thing now a days. Most menu's have shrunk after you know what. NOT the case here. Several trips will have to be made and happy to do it. I started off with grilled oysters. Had a couple dirty ones but were still good. We actually sat right in front of the shucker. Was a nice treat. Local Louisiana seafood so that's 10's all around. Too many chain restaurants and smaller using imported JUNK. Priced low and hurts our economy and local fishermen and communities. Nothing better than gulf coast seafood. You can taste it, trust me as I have grown up there most of my life. Lots of people and vehicles all day so service is something I noticed and they were well balanced. Never felt rushed. Even sitting at this very long bar (another plus!!) we were able to get good service. It was a busy Friday night so some understanding goes a long way. Bartender's were hoping for sure. Great drink menus with many adult options.

Boudin quesadillas.. amazingly delicious

Fresh! Large portions. Friendly staff. Live music is just a bit too loud to enjoy a convo at the table but other than that it was amazing.

I went to Skipper's Pier in Gladewater thinking I was just grabbing dinner. Instead, I had one of…read morethose meals that makes you sit quietly for a minute afterward questioning why you ever eat anywhere else. The seafood was ridiculously good. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, the seasoning was on point, and everything came out fresh and hot. I'm convinced somebody in that kitchen has a direct connection to the Gulf because there's no reason seafood in East Texas should taste that good. The place was busy, the staff was hustling, and somehow everything still came out fast. By the end of the meal I was already planning what I was ordering next time before I had even paid the check. If you leave Skipper's hungry, that's honestly a personal decision.

I went here with my dad who was born and raised in the area. He explained that we should go early…read morebecause they can get really busy, really quickly. So we went at around 4:45 in the afternoon on a Friday. There was already a 20-30 minute wait for a table inside, but instant seating on the patio, which we took. I'm breaking this into two scores--the food which is the most important, and the service (not just waitress, but overall). Food 4.5 stars--not perfect, but very good. Service 3.0 After getting seated on the patio we were told the server would be out shortly. After about 15 minutes I went back in to ask for menus--coincidently the person that seated us was telling the server that they had people at our table, so I turned around and went back out. Shortly thereafter we were given menus and we ordered drinks. Dad got 50/50 tea and I got water and a whisky rocks which confused the waitress. "So like, with Coke?" No, ma'am, just the whiskey poured over rocks, whatever your house whiskey is, I'm not that picky. We already knew what we wanted and ordered the catfish filets with fries, and fried okra. The food came quickly, but still no drinks. Eventually those came out. My whiskey was in a larger glass, not a whole lot but enough not to complain. The waitress then asked if I wanted a straw for it because she wasn't sure. She might have been new to service, so I'm not upset, I was more amused. She is working at a bar/restaurant but perhaps the servers are kept seperate and she's not used to running for the bar. The food was excellent. The catfish was freshly fried, the outside a good crunchy crust and the inside darn near dissolved it was so tender and moist, not even a hint of being over or under done. Excellent flavor, it didn't need the house made dips (a tartar and a cocktail sauce, both great), but they complimented it. Tartar was heavy on mayo flavor than traditional tartar, but you could still tell what it was. Cocktail sauce seemed fairly standard, I guess I can't promise that one was house made. Two jalapeno hush puppies came with it. They were standard fair, a little bit of spice, enough to enjoy while letting non-spicy people still tolerate it. Crunch went deep, the center was cooked but a lot less of the ratio than the crunch outside. Fries were also standard, but fried well, good crunch and fluffy inside. Fish was the absolute star, it was "close your eyes and enjoy" good. Fried okra was bland. It was crunch on the outside, soft but not gooey on the inside so they treated it well to reduce the slime, but it didn't stand out from any other fried okra I've had. Wouldn't get it again, but it was cheap. Didn't get checked on very often, I think we were offered drink refills when we asked for the check. Got the bill. Fish plates, $16. Okra side: 3.50. My one ounce of whiskey, TWELVE DOLLARS. I don't know if she rang it in wrong, or if their prices are just ridiculous for that stuff. Lesson learned, don't order alcohol here. But most certainly order the fish. Service lacking, perhaps still learning, fish was absolutely wonderful.
