Brisket plate with hush puppies and slaw.
John R.

A very rustic setting. Indoor seating has a stove in the middle of the room which did a pretty good job of warming up the room. Since it was in the 40s outside, sitting near the stove was the best. A large trailer is where you order and pick up food "food-truck" style. I had the sliced brisket plate with coleslaw and hush puppies. The hush puppies were very good and the highlight of the meal. Brisket was ok (not the best) and the slaw was not very good. Service was friendly. Overall, it was an ok place to eat.

This place has a great burger but the BBQ was a mess. I always get the trinity when I try a new place. Brisket- no smoke ring (cooked at to high a temp), slightly dry, seasoning not present, one chunk of bark was black as night and hard as a rock. Sausage- basic with no flavor, almost like cheap links from the store that were warmed on the smoker. Ribs- texture wasnt bad but like the brisket it was cooked at to high a temp. These were way oversmoked and had no other flavor. Sauce- tasted store bought and unimpressive but not bad Potato salad- bland and missing any complexity . I wouldnt recommend the lemonade either. It was sugar water with a hint of lemon. Service was great but this meal was a total miss for me. I may be spoiled with places like Black's in Lockhart or Brett's in Katy as well as the HLSR World BBQ Championship Cookoff but good BBQ isnt hard when an experienced cook is on the pit.

Enjoying the steak burger!

Great food and service!! Our whole family enjoyed it so much!! Super cool atmosphere too!

Beef Brisket, Sausage, Ribs, Cole slaw, Mac and Cheese.
Andrew P.

Serves BBQ and Seafood. I opted for the BBQ. I always believe to properly evaluate a BBQ establishment appropriately, you have to sample the holy trinity of Texas BBQ--Brisket, sausage, ribs. Before I get to the meat, let me start with service, atmosphere, and sides. Service was not bad. Young man taking my order had good manners and was pleasant. However, when I asked him what type of wood they use to smoke their BBQ he said mesquite and that wound up being incorrect, so as far as staff being knowledgeable about the most basic elements of their BBQ, there is room for improvement. Owner was nice but when trying to talk to her, I felt like I was a burden to her and she was in a rush to end what was only a 30 second conversation. Atmosphere is basic dive roadside BBQ joint. No A/C. Just a carport with walls built on. Black plastic on walls. Definitely not pleasing to the eye. For my meal I had two sides. I enjoy the classics, so I ordered the macaroni and cheese and cole slaw. I am very particular about my cole slaw. This cole slaw was really good. I wish it had a little more bite to it (little more pepper), but overall the cole slaw was really good, and I would order it again. Macaroni and cheese was perfect. Macaroni noodles cooked perfectly. Cheese melted, soft, not burnt, great consistency. The BBQ sauce definitely leaves something to be desired. Not a fan. Very middle of the road to sub par. Not horrible or nasty, but just nothing memorable about it. Alright, now for the really important part--The Meats. I ordered a half rack of pork ribs, 1/4 pound brisket, and a 1/4 pound sausage. The brisket was really dry. I'm guessing bbq process wasn't right. It was only 11ish am, so it wasn't that it had been drying out all day. Also brisket had essentially no bark on it and smoke flavor was minimal. If I come back to this establishment, I will definitely not order the brisket again. The sausage was moderate. No real spice to it and only a hint of smoke. Not bad but not great. Now to the pork ribs. This was definitely the highlight of the meal. The ribs were very good. Good flavor from the rub and fats. Very juicy. Very good smoke flavor to them. I had one rib that was a bit dryer than the others but other than that the ribs were definitely a win. Maybe I'll come back to try the seafood and fish and a re-order of the ribs, but I'll definitely be trying other local BBQ restaurants before making that decision. Overall judgement is that this BBQ is not worth going out of your way for. It hurts me to say that because I really want people to be successful, but in this case it's the truth. I hope that they can turn it around and in another time in the future they will change my opinion.

Ribeye sandwich and coleslaw
Lisa E.

We got the ribeye sandwich and coleslaw. Smoked turkey and sausage. The ribeye sandwich was very good with the thick well cooked grilled onions. The coleslaw was fresh and creamy. The smoked turkey was so flavorful and moist and delish. The smoked sausage was ok. BUT I am not a sausage fan. I just tried it. But the turkey was really well smoked. I would have given 5 stars but the ribeye sandwich was a little tough in spots. I would definitely order it again but tell them to cook it less

Great little "lake restaurant" & bar. Kind & helpful staff…read more It's one of our favorites when we're at the lake & want to enjoy a sit down meal. Brunch is yummy too & especially nice on the patio overlooking the lake.

We visited The Harbor on Sunday, September 6th, and I really wanted to love this place…read more My husband found it and thought it would be the perfect spot to celebrate our son and his girlfriend's 1-year anniversary. Our son is attending college at Navarro, while his girlfriend lives in Hawaii, and she flew all the way out to Texas just to spend their anniversary with him. My husband and I wanted to treat them to a special dinner, so this wasn't just another night out for us. First, I will say the location is BEAUTIFUL. The drive out there was gorgeous, and being right on the water made us even more excited about dinner. We completely understood that it was a busy holiday weekend. My husband called ahead, and the hostess was kind enough to get us a 6:00 PM reservation. We ended up arriving about 15 minutes late, and despite how packed they were, she was very gracious and seated us immediately. We truly appreciated that. Unfortunately, that's where the good customer service pretty much ended. We sat for almost 25 minutes before our waitress was even able to take our drink order. She was very sweet and apologized, and because we could already see how overwhelmed they were, we tried to be understanding. At that point I told my husband, "Let's just order our food now too because we're probably going to be waiting awhile." Thank goodness we did. Our waitress told us she would bring dinner rolls. More than 30 minutes passed... no rolls. We eventually had to ask for them ourselves. We kept watching more people being seated, especially outside, while we continued to wait...and wait...and wait. Eventually we went outside to take pictures by the water because our food was nowhere in sight. By then, we had been waiting around an hour and 15 minutes. My husband was beyond frustrated and ready to leave, but we had driven about 25 minutes to get there and the kids were STARVING. When he finally asked how much longer our food would take, we were told, "Oh, it's ready." It wasn't. Our food finally arrived around the 1 HOUR AND 30 MINUTE mark. On top of that, they had run out of the large pizza we ordered and offered us two small pizzas instead. I assumed "small" would still be a reasonable size. Nope. They were basically personal-pan sized--and for what we paid, that was another disappointment. Now, I will absolutely give credit where it's due: when our main dishes FINALLY arrived, the food was delicious. We enjoyed what we ordered. But good food doesn't erase an hour-and-a-half wait with very little communication or attention. When we asked for more rolls, we were told they had run out. By the time everything was said and done, we looked around and realized we were literally the LAST TABLE being served and the last customers leaving. The owners appeared to be at the bar, yet no one came over to acknowledge what had happened, apologize for the excessive wait, or even offer to adjust anything on our bill. And THAT is what bothered me the most!! I understand restaurants get busy. I understand holiday weekends can be crazy. I understand kitchens get backed up and things run out. What I don't understand is continuing to seat customers when your staff and kitchen are already overwhelmed, while customers who have been waiting well over an hour are left wondering when--or IF--their food is coming. Sometimes customer service is simply saying, "We are really sorry. We dropped the ball tonight. What can we do to make this right?" We never got that. I honestly wish I had read some of the reviews before my husband booked our dinner here. The Harbor is absolutely beautiful, and if you want somewhere to enjoy the scenery and take gorgeous pictures by the water, the location delivers. But would I drive 25 minutes back to have dinner there again? Unfortunately, NO. This was supposed to be a special anniversary dinner for two young people we love, and instead most of the evening was spent hungry, waiting, frustrated, and wondering where our food was. Beautiful view. Delicious food once it finally arrived. But the overall experience and customer service left us extremely disappointed. And for us, a beautiful view just isn't enough to make up for that.

The food and staff where amazing will be going back. The tacos were great. Food came out fast as…read morewell.

No longer a food stand, this place has it all! You will be transported. We were. Terrific music…read more Tropical colors. A cute exterior. And the menu at El Santo Kamaron is wonderful. It has photos of everything. I love ceviche and I had a very difficult time deciding. Ceviche, Aguachile made in multiple ways, Coctels, Seafood Tower, Tostilocos con Ceviche! Hacha and all kinds of shrimp. Beautiful Snow Crab. They make trays of items. Bowls. Boils. Molcajete. Ramen noodle bowls. There is Zarandeados style to cook shrimp and octopus. There's Beef, too. Fajitas. Carne asada. Bistec. Barbacoa. Burgers. So, we had our favorites. I ordered a Plato de Ceviche that comes comes with fresh thin fried corn chips and a fish tacos platter (4). My husband ordered this huge Carne Asada Plate. Our sweet waitress was kind and patient. Much of the menu is in Spanish for items that I'd never heard of and wanted to know about. I tried not to monopolize her. There was all this incredible looking food around us! It looked like we were served a very tasty fire roasted salsa Negra to kick things off. Our food arrived fairly soon. My husband's Carne Asada Plate was enough for two. Served on a tray, it came with 6 flour tortillas and he took half of what you see in the photo home. The meat was so tender and the grilled whole onion was delicious. My ceviche rocked. Crunchy veggies and well seasoned and marinated fish and shrimp, lots of avocado and a surprise! Tender bites of octopus at the edges of this enormous serving of Ceviche. It was perfection. Next time I want to try the Aguachile. My only problem will be which one? I opted to take half the ceviche home and jump into a fish taco. There was so much fish, it barely fit into the tortilla. My husband had one too. There were two delicious creamy sauces, Pico de Gallo and purple cabbage. Crunchy enough to stand up to everything, it was SO good. I took the other two home of course. This area of downtown Ennis is so very nice. Plenty of parking. Benches. The restaurant has patio dining but it was much too cold. On a Sunday evening, every table was packed, but we waited just a couple of minutes. Service was lovely. We'll definitely be back. I can hardly wait!!
