2/3 times I've gone to this establishment in the last 2 months, I have been served cold food. Red fish overcooked to the point I needed a steak knife to cut it and it was cold, veggies on the side were mush. Maybe it was just an off night and I'd figured I'd give them another go. Last night I got fried shrimp and a baked potato, shrimp were cold and so was the potato. Cheese on top wasn't even melted. When you spend 30 dollars on a meal I would at least expect it to be hot and cooked properly. If you serve 200-300 people you can do the math on how many people are seeing the same thing. I will say server was great, very busy but still took the time to make sure we got what we needed. Yes I could have sent the food back but, after 10+ years in the food industry - that is one thing I don't do. It's up to the cooks to send it out right the first time. Unfortunately one of my favorite restaurants in town has become nothing more than a long wait for overpriced cold food. Will not return. read more

Tia Juanita's Fish Camp - Cold baked potato - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Longview, Texas

Terrible service!! Waited over an hour for our food! No offer of a discount or free dessert, no apology from the manager! We were getting up to leave when the food came. Food was just average, not worth the wait. We won't be back. read more

If you haven't been to Tia Juanita's you need to do so! Rodney, Destiny, Kierstin and the rest of the staff were amazing! Food was great, service was spectacular and the banquet room was the perfect size for our event. We had a surprise 50th Birthday party for my wife and the room was set up perfect, spacing between the tables to walk around, music was great and the over all atmosphere makes this place a must to host a get together or just night out on the town!!! read more

My wife's new favorite place to eat in Longview, Texas. She loves the chicken breast.

Wednesday night, not busy, table of 8. ordered & 40+ minutes later, food was cold Gumbo sent back third time. Slowest service ever. Tia, you gotta do better......... read more

Good seafood, very slow service, and too loud to enjoy a meal! It seems like patrons either love it or hate it. I wonder if it matters when you are there? read more

Have been here twice now while visiting family in town. I had fish basket once and baked potato second visit. The fish was average-but lukewarm when served. Potato was lukewarm also and i prefer it to be cooked longer so it's fluffy, not chunky. All others in my party really enjoyed what they ate. Gumbo, grilled fish, shrimp. (i am a picky eater and more on the bland side so go with their view more than mine) Service was good. Atmosphere is fun with lots to look at on the walls. read more

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. read more

One of my favorite east TX places great oysters and killer shrimp tacos. If you're into frozen drinks this is your place to visit for Happy Hour!!! read more

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. read more

We love Tia Juanita's! We especially LOVE the raw oysters! They always have great atmosphere and music! read more

Food was yummy and hot. The band added a kick of spice. Well be going back soon.

Was driving to Longview from Houston and stopped by this place. There were so many cars I wanted to know what was all the hype. I had blackened shrimp with veggies with a margarita. It was timely, and delicious. The pain killer was alright I would get another drink. But atmosphere and friendliness was great too read more

Food was amazing!! Staff were professional and polite. Answered all our questions. The portions were good size. We'll definitely eat here again. read more

Best food in Longview, every dish is beyond delicious, and drinks as well! This place is top notch, wonderful service and atmosphere. If you haven't tried it yet do yourself a favor and go try it out. We had two catering events recently as well and they went above and beyond to take excellent care of us. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Food was awful last night! Get new cook staff please! Service was real good and the guy singing needs not to sing! Been going to Tias awhile in different locations. Longview made me proud up until last night! Won't last in your location in Longview if that keeps up! read more

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.

This spot has become a go-to for me when I'm craving seafood that hits the spot. I also love their fajitas! The portions are generous, everything tastes fresh, and the service is always laid-back and welcoming. I usually swing by before heading out to work--I run a boutique-style health & wellness in-home party business, so I'm on the road a lot. It's nice to fuel up somewhere local that's consistently good. Definitely worth checking out. I also like the eclectic decor. It adds to the casual vibe. read more

We ordered raw and chargrilled oysters, and they were so tiny! A few of them almost looked like empty shells! And the cheese mixture on top of the chargrilled was so salty, I could barely eat any of it. I actually spit food out in a napkin twice. I would have sent it back, but it was a special occasio, and I didn't want to ruin it :( The bread was also like chewing a piece of leather. Very tough. I mostly ate chips, dip and salad. The oysters were definitely not worth the price! read more

First let me say the building, decor and atmosphere are great!!! Staff aren't the friendliest. I don't believe I saw one smile, heard one thank you, and I know I didn't hear please come back! They were too involved in talking to each other. But you came here for the food right? Ahi tuna, over cooked and bland. Didn't finish. Only thing good I heard was if I come back only thing I'll order is the rice. Salad looked fresh. I didn't have it, but I do know lettuce was cold and crisp. Next, fried shrimp was breaded with corn meal which is ok but shrimp were over cooked so that the shrimp were tough. French fries ok but the hush puppies no flavor, nothing, nil, nada! Shrimp quesadillas no complaint. Grilled shrimp again over cooked. Fried oysters I heated were mostly stuffed with crab and oysters small. Gator bits must have been good because they were eaten up. As was the queso , but the chips were bottom of the barrel as to a lot of the chips were broken and tiny. After spending almost $200 on five meals and one coke, one lemonade and four beers I can say dinner was very unfulfilling and not very enjoyable. It's a big maybe if we got back! read more

The food was really good. The ambience of the restaurant was really quiet because it was during the day when we came. The waitress we had was amazing, I hate I can't remember her name. We will definitely come back if we're in Longview again read more

Excellent food and great service. Love the decor and atmosphere. Their Tilapia is to die for!!

Today is my wife's birthday. When I asked her where did she want to go for dinner. She decided. TIA Juanitas. We were told, we are short a cook. So the service was very slow. Not happy at all. read more

Delicious food. Fun ambiance. Great service. We're about 45 minutes away but worth the time and drive.

Great Oysters on the Half Shell. Excellent fried Shrimp. Friendly service. Good atmosphere. Handy location near other bars read more

I've been here a couple of times and neither time was a very good experience. The first time the food was just not very good. I ordered a fried fish poboy and the fish came grilled. I've never heard of grilled fish on a poboy.. The second time, the restaurant was essentially empty but somehow the host still ignored us and then eventually sat us at a table but didn't give us silverware. The server was rushing us (again, the restaurant was basically empty) and when my dad's salad arrived we realized we didn't get any silverware and we couldn't get anyone's attention to bring us some for a good few minutes despite multiple workers standing directly behind our table chatting. When my poboy came it was fried this time like I asked but it very soggy. Like WET to where it was falling apart and it wasn't juice.. it tasted like the bread was soaked in water?? Maybe from the lettuce but it was really gross, I didn't eat it. I doubt I'll return here, it was disappointing. read more

The service was friendly. And my fish tacos were quite tasty. However, the biggest problem was that, even though it was a slow night, I had to wait over a half hour for my tacos. The waitress apologized profusely, but despite that, I would probably not return. read more

My husband and I started with the chips and various dips. Enjoyed them all. I had the jalapeño stuffed shrimp wrapped in bacon. They were amazing!! Served with grilled vegetables cooked to perfection not overcooked. My husband had gumbo and raw oysters and enjoyed both. We would definitely go back. We went at 4:00 pm on a Wednesday and the service was quick and not too crowded. Loved the atmosphere and vibe. read more

We have been here a few times and usually are satisfied and the fajitas are usually fantastic. But they were off their game last night. First the waitress just had no personality and was a little snarky about us having to clear the way for her to put down a hot plate but she chose not to use a pot holder. The queso was so thin and runny that it kept dripping all down my shirt and we could not get enough of it to stay on a chip to even taste it. So it ended up getting too cold to eat with over half of it left. I got nachos and they were so soggy and we shared a few but it was more like a casserole. Even my husband's fajitas were not like usual. The meat was tough. Next to us was a group of little league parents and kids. The men were all drunk and loud. The boys were way too big like 5th or 6th grade to run all over and sit at different tables and spin around poles treating the restaurant like a playground. The wives just played on their phones. They had an infant maybe 1 year old that kept screaming. The dad quieted him down by giving him at least 3 drinks of his beer! Not the restaurant's fault but there was not one sighting of any kind of manager anywhere. We won't be back for a while. read more

Tia Juanita's Fish Camp - Soggy nachos - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Longview, Texas

Id like to start with typically i never write a bad review, but i had to with here sadly, the experience started off great sat instantly, but it started going down once the service started, i believe my server was Laycee, she started off by asking for drinks, (drinks that took forver to come) its as if she just started talking with a coworker and forgot she had just got a table in. she returned back with the drinks ad started asking for our appetizer and order she had the rudest attitude and face on. like she just hated having to actually take an order, im not typically this harsh but our order was then messed up, almost completely, we honestly just ignored it but we the ordered the churros and sat and sat when finally a check arrived, granted the churros were not on the check, but it went to show that she never even took the order in to begin with, the food was alright. prices normal. but the service was the worst ive gotten in a while. and it was first time will not be coming back anytime soon. longview location im sorry but the service was terrible. read more

Service was lacking and was brought raw food. Only offered a discount, even after having to pack my food up, after asking and then 20% on the dish only... Ok. But the server had already stated manager was taking care of it and mgr knew nothing. And was lied to by waiter and told we would be charged extra to have it packed up. Food (appetizers at least) were good but probably won't be back. read more

The food was amazing! The drinks were fun! Servings were large we were stuffed!Can not wait to go back!

We've been to Tia's several times when visiting family in Longview. Reasonable prices and good food. Drinks - not so much. They are weak, odd, gimmicky. and overpriced. Instead of ordering a rum/coke where the put a shot or two in a short glass and a splash of coke, I get a regular size coke and / shots of rum to mix it myself. The shot was short and it wasn't Bacardi but we were with a group so I didn't want to complain. We stopped drinking there and just enjoy our meals. read more
