Always a Great Time at The Barrel House!…read more This is one of our favorite spots for great food and excellent service. The drinks are strong, and their happy hour is definitely worth it--but even outside of happy hour, the prices are very reasonable. The food is consistently delicious, and the staff is always friendly and accommodating. Whenever we're in town, we make sure to stop by The Barrel House with my mother-in-law--it's become a bit of a tradition! The atmosphere is casual and laid-back, with plenty of outdoor and patio seating. There are even some games out back, which makes it a fun and family-friendly place to hang out. Highly recommend! Add it to the Love List

My buddy and I flew in yesterday to have lunch here. Cool little spot up on a hilltop from the main…read moreroad. The ambiance was really cool. It was small but plenty of tables how they had it set up. It was a family owned business. The nicest people work here. The food was very good. We had gumbo, burger & sweet potato fries and a really large seafood combo plate (His size). It was really big. Definitely could have gotten the "Her" size dish. The food tasted delicious and on point! We'll come back again to have lunch.

Came to visit friends who recently moved to the area, and the food did not disappoint!…read more I loved the patio with the big tree outside, but since it was still pretty warm, we opted to eat inside. Service was spot on--not too fast, not too slow--just the right pace to let us enjoy catching up with friends. I ordered the fried fish dinner, and wow... the portions are huge! I ended up taking half home. Everything is made from scratch, and they also offer daily specials, which is a big plus. Definitely one to add to the Love List! Note: The restaurant is in a metal building, so my cell service didn't work inside. Also, no alcohol (and it didn't seem like BYOB), in case that's something you're looking for.

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.

For example: by the bar, by the playground, by the billards etc. Food was hot and seemed fresh. Wait staff was attentive and very nice.

Circle M Crawfish is a hidden gem for true seafood lovers. From the moment you arrive, the aroma of…read moreseasoned crawfish and smoked sausage lets you know you are in for something special. The vibe is laid back and country, perfect for a casual lunch or a weekend gathering with friends and family. The crawfish, shrimp and crabs are always fresh, generously sized, and packed with flavor. I ordered mine with the house seasoning and added corn, and potatoes. Everything was cooked just right and seasoned to perfection. The spice level hits the sweet spot--enough heat to make your lips tingle but not so much that it overpowers the flavor. The staff is welcoming and efficient, even when the line gets long. You can tell they take pride in what they do. Prices are fair for the quality and quantity you get, and the portion sizes are more than satisfying. If you are a fan of traditional Louisiana-style crawfish and crave that authentic backyard boil experience, Circle M is the place to go. I will absolutely be returning and bringing friends with me next time. Pro Tip: Arrive early on weekends. They sell out fast and it is easy to see why.
