Our party of five had dinner at Baytown Seafood Restaurant and it was delicious! The atmosphere is great and the food was amazing! Nikki was our server and she was fast, accurate and friendly. Angela is the manager and is sweet as can be. Prices were fair and we went home with enough food for a couple more meals! We highly recommend it! read more

Baytown Seafood Restaurant - Fish, shrimp and oysters! - Seafood Near Me - Victoria, Texas

Food and service was great , we had the fried rice and fried tilapia , my son had the chicken tenders everything was really good

I've been a longtime customer of Baytown Seafood in Victoria and have always enjoyed the food, which makes this experience especially disappointing. I placed an online order for pickup for my family--over $90 for just me, my wife, and our toddler. I received a text message saying the order was ready, so I went inside to grab it. The restaurant was very busy with the dinner rush, and no one was at the front counter. I clearly saw my bag sitting there with my name on the receipt--and it was the only order on the counter--so I took it and headed out. As I was walking to my vehicle, a woman ran after me yelling, "Hey, stop." I stopped, and she asked if the order was mine. I told her yes and that my name was on the receipt. After that, her tone changed and became very sarcastic. She told me, "Next time I would appreciate you letting someone know you're picking up your order," in a way that felt very condescending. I replied that it had my name on it and that I wouldn't take anything else. As I walked away, she muttered something along the lines of "that was rude" or "you're rude." What really bothered me is that she said she was trying to verify the order--but never actually did. She didn't ask for a receipt, ID, or name. The whole interaction felt unnecessary and unprofessional. Once I got home, I called the restaurant to address what happened. I was told the woman's name was Angela--and that she is a manager--which honestly shocked me. I then asked the person I was speaking with to put me on the phone with her directly. When I spoke with Angela, I explained that I was picking up my own order--not someone else's--and she responded, "How am I supposed to know that?" I told her again that the order was mine, that I had paid for it, and that I was not a delivery driver. In a very condescending tone, she repeated, "Well how am I supposed to know that? I followed protocol. I did nothing wrong." Every time I tried to respond, she cut me off by saying, "I'm talking, I'm talking," in a way that felt like she was speaking to a child rather than a paying customer. If that's the case, then it goes both ways. I was a paying customer who had just spent a lot of money on dinner for my family. I saw my order clearly labeled with my name, knew it had already been paid for, and picked it up so I wouldn't have to wait any longer than necessary. How am I supposed to know about some "protocol" that customers are never informed of? I completely understand wanting to make sure orders go to the correct customer, but the way this was handled--especially by a manager--was unacceptable. Talking down to customers, refusing to listen, and placing all the blame on the customer is not good service. I've loved Baytown Seafood for years, but after this experience, I likely won't be returning and will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

Staff is friendly enough, property is pretty old, but it's as clean as something roughly 40 years old in a small town is gonna get. Menu has a variety of fried, blackened and Cajun favorites. This is not a place to order a salad, you know that and know that but just in case you don't know. All salads are served with crunchy water (iceberg) and whatever dressing that is available at Walmart. Food is good here although you will get your dietary sodium needs for the next few days. So don't tell your doctor. It's worth an occasional drop in though when you have a hankering. read more

I love Baytown seafood for my catfish plate. The plate is full and good luck. If you can eat everything they provide you. I know I sure try to because it was also tasty and the catfish was tender. I will be making this a regular stop over every chance I get. Best seafood ever. read more

Today our family reunion was held at Baytown Seafood in Victoria Texas. A total of 25 guests were present. The manager, Angelina was incredibly accommodating to our needs. She aligned, at our request, a seating area generally not used for such a large party. Our server was Pedro who did a phenomenal job (solo) in taking our orders. Our every need was filled without hesitation and with a smile. Thank you Angelina and Pedro for providing great service and great food. read more

Came in for a baked potato and boudin balls. The boudin balls were chewy, not crispy and not very flavorful. Had 2 and threw the rest away. The baked potato wasn't great. I haven't been here in years but in the past I liked what I got, this time just left me disappointed. I'll still go back sometime to give another shot, but won't be getting what I got this time. read more

If you're in Victoria and craving fried catfish that understands the assignment, BayTown Seafood delivers like it's grandma's church potluck -- crunchy, seasoned, and straight-up satisfying. The fried shrimp? Generous in portion and golden like Texas sunsets. Seasoning? On point. Nothing bland crossed my plate. It's not fancy, but it's fried food that gets you, y'know? One star off because the ambiance says "family reunion" more than "date night," but the food? A solid yes. Come hungry, leave happy. read more

I heard good things about this reastaurant, i went on a date with my girlfriend, she loves seafood, she asked if she could have the shrimp grilled and they said no, they couldn't grilled them, even tho they sell grill seafood. What I don't get it why don't you just grilled the shrimp and change extra if you need to! That's what other restaurants do! Also lady brought us our drinks and she never came to ask if we needed a refill. So overall not a good experience and also the food wasn't that great I can name 4 other seas food places that are better and also the service! read more

I've visited Baytown Seafood several times and usually enjoyed the food, but this recent visit was disappointing. I ordered the fried shrimp and fish special, and things started off badly with a wilted, browning salad. I didn't complain since I've eaten worse at home. The entrée looked fine at first, but the shrimp turned out rubbery, greasy, and overcooked. After eating most of my shrimp, I noticed the batter peeling off and the shrimp inside was yellow--definitely not normal. We didn't say anything since we'd already eaten most of the food and the service was very slow, despite the restaurant being nearly empty. I left feeling nauseous and won't be returning. read more

It's how Seafood should be served, FRESH. Coffee is flowing and so is the Bon Jovi and radio hits. Worth a stop off the freeway for unknown eats miles ahead on this freeway Sahara. We were served by CC. Saw the reviews ok Yelp. Gulped. Firmly and friendly asked for prompt service as we were heading south to Padre. They made it so. The good and bad: Pivot. Poorboys served on hip slim lined aluminum trays. Relish for your poorboy is not contained wherein. It's on the side. Coleslaw side generous Seating ample. Outside architecture denotes a fancy seafood place. Inside is a well cleaned socially distinctive eating establishment. They got his down. Check. Cable TV check. Neon bar signs, check. Ubiquitous seas food shabby chic. Check Innovative wine glass lighting, check. Old previous 1990's retro Victorian styled dinning room. Check. Check. Muddy colored sea life mural. Check. But I digress. So it's not the interior you are coming to see check. Waiting to see who wins the decoration. I'm pulling for the slim liner tray and red & blue wine glass pendant look. It's worth a pull off the freeway and get back on. read more

Update your hours! They close at 9pm! The food looked good on the pictures. We are from out of town and C relied on help review. Nope!

Good solid local seafood restaurant. Nothing fancy but good food and good service. Portions were large and the seafood fresh. Recommended.

This is a great little seafood restaurant been to a couple times and I am never disappointed. Quality seafood, this is not a large chain crappy seafood place. You get what you pay for and at this restaurant you are paying for quality food. You get a decent amount so it's not small plates and high prices. The wait staff has always been courteous and nice. I have never had a problem with slow food order or slow service. If you are in Victoria looking for a nice restaurant this is a nice quality restaurant. I do recommend trying this place out! read more

Awesome place, very clean compared to other locations I've been too. But in my opinion no matter how nice the place is, if the food is horrible I'm not gonna be returning. The employees, servers and kitchen is what makes a place great. I've been in town for work and have not yet been disappointed with the Victoria area. Everyone is polite. The meal was absolutely delicious, great presentation!!! Stacy was a great waitress, thanks to her suggestion on today's special. read more

Kim was our server for our party of 11 adults. The order was spot on! The food was excellent. The price was reasonable. The time from order to table for a sit down meal was excellent. We arrived about 5:40, ordered appetizers, non alcohol drinks, and a variety of meals. Kim was attentive and visited all the table during and after the meal. We left at 7:20. For seafood, it is the place to eat in Victoria. read more

I ate the red snapper with shrimp and fries. The red snapper tasted amazing. It was seasoned to perfection. The only reason I didn't give them a five star was the shrimp was over cooked. The cocktails sauces were very delicious. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly. read more

Decided we needed seafood as close to the gulf as we were. Found this place online and read a few reviews... mostly just OK. There isn't many choices so we chose to come here. It was one of the best choices for this trip! I had fried fish and shrimp. Very fresh and tasted great! Plenty of food and both the cocktail sauce and tarter sauce were amazing!! Maria, who waited on us, was so awesome!! read more

Great catfish! The waitress was prompt and friendly and the portions were generous for a lunch special! My friend had the gumbo and he enjoyed it as well! read more

The food here was really good! Fried shrimp and grilled shrimp were my personal favorites but everyone in our large party enjoyed their meals. The service was good. The dining area could use a bit of an upgrade in my opinion but it was clean and spacious. Sweet Tea Rating:0/10 Unfortunately, they don't serve sweet tea. I was a bit surprised being in the south. read more

Amazing Cajun cuisine. Literally to die for. Outside may not look like much, but we were always told not to judge a book by its cover. Top tier gumbo. I'm drooling just writing this. read more

Everything we ordered was delicious except for the side salad. But we didn't even know the meal came with a side salad so no biggie. We had flounder, grilled shrimp, and bacon wrapped shrimp. All good. The meals came with grilled veggies that were also good. Pricing was surprisingly in the low to reasonable category. I'll go back again if I ever go back to Victoria. read more

I ordered the lunch special red snapper with étouffée, rice, and vegetables. It was delicious and it was only $12.00. The snapper was perfectly cooked and the rice was fantastic. I believe they served wild rice and it was a nice departure from white or fried rice. The vegetables were sautéed well and had a buttery flavor. Probably not light on the calories, but I enjoyed it either way. This was my first time here so I didn't expect to enjoy it so much! read more

Baytown Seafood Restaurant - Lunch special Red Snapper with étouffée - Seafood Near Me - Victoria, Texas

We have been here several times but last night was the best visit so far. The food was great and so was the server. Amber provided excellent service! Always quick with refills and a smile, very friendly and had perfect timing. Last night we started with Boudin balls, they are always wondering ( ate them so fast I forgot to snap a pic). My wife got the fried catfish and I got the green pork chops. I have had almost everything from their grill before and the are all good. I got the pork chops again because they are so very flavorful. They serve them on top of grilled veggies and this veggies soak up the flavor of the meat and they are awesome. The catfish was light flaky and very delicious. We both had the coleslaw instead of salad and it proved to be a good choice, it's very flavorful. The hostess and the Manager were also very friendly and both of them invited us back. We will be back and we'll ask for Amber. Saturday night a week later We got a to go order and it was amazing. They cut holes in the containers to let the steam vent, so the food didn't get soggy without it getting cold. Once again the catfish was awesome and the staff on the phone and in person were terrific. Rapidly becoming my favorite restaurant in Victoria. read more

Server was awesome and very kind. Food came out quickly was really good. No frills, just a nice quiet place with good seafood.

The food is fairly good and the service is above average. I order "to-go" quite often as I have come accustomed to it and the process is really seem less. I'd rate them 4.25 stars but I don't have the option. read more

The coconut shrimp, snow crab and calamari were all delish. This was my first time here, but my family lives in the area and they frequent this restaurant. I thought the prices were really reasonable. Yes the decor sucks, but beauty is only skin deep. read more

I was quite impressed with today's food and service. Both exceeded my expectations. Aubrey was great serving us and the New Orleans blackened Red Snapper with shrimp etouffe made my day. Will return soon! read more

Excellent prompt friend service. We had a cute bubbly waitress who was friendly and checked on us just the right amount of times during our visit. We had the calamari & alligator appetizer special. It was hot, crispy and delicious. Our entrees were oyster poboy and crab cake with shrimp & rice. Just as tasty! Will for sure return. If I had any complaints it was rather cold in the restaurant, (I'm sure for sanitary purposes) so bring a jacket! read more
