Overall, I had a good visit and would consider coming back another time.

I had high hopes for this place from the looks of the pictures and seeing that their main cuisine…read morewas Louisiana Cajun seafood. We came in on a Friday around lunch time and it was seemed like a common spot to go to by the locals. The staff is genuinely kind, seated us easily, and quick to service us. We had gotten the pork rind appetizer with the crawfish cheese sauce- I'd say it was a nice starter and the rinds were freshly made and still crackling as we were eating them! Sadly, the crawfish tasted like it's been sitting out and the blue crab was dry unless you dowsed the butter all over it. So it was either too salty or not enough seasoning.

Exceptional burgers and fries, huge po-boys and cheesesteaks and seafood Boudain balls to die for. She does delivery to the local area around Laporte or work areas, she does take her CC machine if you need to use your card. If you order lunch I recommend to put your order before 10:30AM because it will be hard to get through because of her high volume calls. She's open from 10AM to 10PM. She does have different specials everyday.

We originally…read moreintended to have lunch at the San Jacinto Monument Cafe, but they are not very disabled-friendly (I have a prosthetic and walk with a cane). Nonetheless, we had a very enjoyable meal and met a charming young lady by the name of Niki, who was our server this afternoon. She is the regular bartender on the weekends, and with her outgoing personality, I am sure she does well! Now to why y'all are reading this review: the food was seriously good. The fried pickles were like thin potato chips--nice and crispy. I had the seafood basket with fresh oysters, catfish, hushpuppies, and crawfish tails. My friend had the tilapia, and her French fries were nice and crispy, which she thoroughly enjoyed. It was a good afternoon to be had by all. Give them a try--you'll be glad you did. Be sure to ask for NIKI. Peace!

Maybe more on the thicker side and a bit pungent in flavor, but tasty! It came with white rice, bread, and a side of my choice. It's cool that they offer a side with the entree because most places don't. My wife got fried shrimp. She said they were good, but probably frozen and not as good as some of the competitors around. Everyone else enjoyed the catfish and have been long time customers. The service wasn't the best though. Supposedly, you get a 10% discount if you bring a church bulletin in. So, we brought it in and the waitress said it would be a better deal if we went with the 2-piece special promotion instead. From what I understand, if they have a special, you can't use the 10% church bulletin discount. It seemed like there might have been some dishonesty going on or some confusion. It also took about a solid 10 minutes to get waters. Basically, the service could be improved, but the food is good and the price is right. It's good southern comfort seafood.

The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, a good setting for a family celebration. The service was really good. Our team was attentive and made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. They brought out complimentary hushpuppies as an appetizer, and those were definitely a highlight... warm, fresh, and flavorful. As for the food, it was overall okay. I ordered the grilled shrimp with a loaded baked potato and onion rings, and my meal was pretty tasty. Everything was cooked well and satisfying. Several family members ordered the catfish. They loved the texture, it was cooked nicely, but mentioned that it could have used more seasoning or flavor. Another person at the table ordered the seafood fondue dip and said it was delicious. All in all, it was a pleasant visit with good service and a few standout items. A nice place for gathering with family.

I have never ever been so disappointed with Monument Inn than I was yesterday and let me tell you…read morewhy. But first the good stuff: our server was fantastic. The Snack Attack appy was good. Friend said his Baked Stuffed Shrimp was good. I had the Mahi Mahi with the Pontchartain sauce. The fish was dry. The sauce was bland and seemed like the recipe was not yet finished. I didn't eat much, asked for a to go bag as I LOVE leftovers, but frankly it was not good enough to take home. The veggies were good but who takes home only the veggies without the main course? We were a party of two and were given one roll though we had two cinnamon rolls which were also good. I ordered a Lemon Drop Martini and it arrived less than half full. I have never received a half a glass Lemon Drop martini. I noticed others ordering the Lemon Drop martinis an all had a full martini glass. Since I had only 1/2 of a martini, I ordered another with the request of a full glass martini. The other glass was a little bit more filled than the first one. Really odd and the taste was not worth the effort of ordering. I noticed the Lemon Drop Martini came with a surcharge. Meaning I was billed for the martini and then another misc charge. I have never been charged a surcharge for a Lemon Drop martini. The menu does not say there is a surcharge. Charge what you are going to charge on one line, in total, like everyone else does OR explain yourself and teach the 20 year old server the answer so she is aware and can share with her customers. So I asked for the manager. Cameron huffed on over like he was in a super bad mood and serving up a huge dose of bad attitude unbecoming of a restaurant manager. Cameron came over all loaded for bear and went to the wrong table. . Funniest thing ever and I wish I had that on video. I politely inquired about the surcharge for the Lemon Drop martini and was told "that's the way it's been for 8 years and we are not going to change it for you." Apparently when you order the menu item of a Lemon Drop martini you are charged for a shot PLUS the up charge of placing the shot into a martini glass. None of this is explained on the menu. Perhaps state that when ordered because I don't work for Monument Inn and am not privvy to this special wackadoodle way of charging their customers for a martini listed on the menu. Then to be almost attacked as Cameron was apparently perturbed that a paying customer had the audacity to question about this insane way of pricing. I had enough of his belligerent and argumentative behavior because Cameron was doubling down with his less than stellar attitude. As such, I told Cameron he was about the rudest person I have encountered in this service industry and dismissed him. No customer deserves that kind of treatment. Thank Cameron's inappropriate interaction for the one star which Yelp forces us to give. Otherwise I'd not given a star at all. Cameron's nastiness ruined the entire experience. Well that and the overcooked fish with the lackluster Pontchartain sauce. Stick to their fried food menu items which is where this place shines. Oh and don't order the Lemon Drop martini.

And they even have special deals on some days for cheaper. It is a Viet-owned establishment and the flavors are top-tier for the coastal and garlic flavors for the crawfish, and the pieces can get HUGE during the right time of the season, like around May. The biggest crawfish I've ever seen out of my 20 years of eating crawfish was from here--and there were like 6 of them of the same size all in one 5lb bag! Never have seen that at Crawfish Cafe or other places. Staff are very friendly. Only downside is they only have lemons here--no limes--and they charge for lemons. But the free butter station is nice for those who enjoy that.
