    Crab legs with House seasoning

    Best crab legs! Can't wait to go back! Sadly it won't be for a year or so, but I am already looking forward to it.

    Wow my friends!!!! This is my first unhappy review. I seen a tictok of this place about the seafood and the delicious meals served. When I arrived right on the door said 5%percent ser charge for dinning in. Really!!!! Then they didn't even have food on the menu. No oysters no full bar. The girl that took my order was not very welcoming and just took our orders. I chugged my beer and sad I'm taking this to go. If this place was something...that time has passsed. Don't believe every tictok .....it's hit and miss. For all the foodies... if you're in the area try the seafood across the street. I don't recommend this place at all

    Crawfish was good! Get the house sauce or k sauce

    10/10 !!! I absolutely love my food!! The heavy hitter box & the grand slam was . The manager came out & talked to me , very friendly & nice! Over all the place was clean & it was kind of packed! I'll be back for sure!

    Good food! Ordered vermicelli bbq pork, pork spring rolls, shrimp jalapeño bacon wrapped, crab boil Cajun garlic, and a margarita with beer. Flavor is good and portions are good too! I wish it had more garlic in the boil sauce other than that it was good. Bacon shrimp with jalapeño were so delicious!!!! It would be our favorite place if it wasn't for how much we paid! I think the boil was the most pricey Service is good too! The lady is nice, Ambiance is very chill and relaxing

    Hot box had sausage, shrimp, rice

    Everything we had was tasty. We grabbed menus from the counter went & sat down until we decided. Then went to the counter to place our appetizers & drink order. The daiquiris are strong & delious. Apps: Boudin links, boudin egg rolls, egg rolls, fried shrimp & seasoned fries Main dish: Then we finally decided what we wanted to eat. Went back to the counter placed our order. We had the hot box, combo rice, medium shrimp rice, grand slam. Everything was good. Service was good. Music was on point if you like late 90s early 2000s. We will definitely go back!

    I've only been once before they closed & I remember thinking it was pretty good. upon entering, we had to order at the counter which I personally didn't like since I need time to look at the menu. then we were assigned a table to sit at afterwards. that's new. according to the cashier/server?, there's a new partnership now. crawfish - a decent size - mix between medium & large with a few small ones. flavor was okay. we got the garlic butter one & the house special. fried rice - garbage. I didn't even know you can mess up a simple side. it was dry, bland, & barely had any eggs in it. boudin egg rolls - I liked it. remoulade sauce was good considering I live in houston & was visiting my bf in the area, it's not likely I would return if I happen to crave crawfish again. I mean for $7/lb, it's quite affordable but overall lacking imo.

    First time trying this place we ordered for pick up but decided we wanted to eat there and the girl at the front said no we are closed It was 9:33pm we got our food and left. She also did not have to make a rude face at us. Won't give 1 star because the food smells good. Just bad service.

    This was my first time here, the food was great very flavorful and friendly staff. Definitely will come back again.

    This little place is the old Whataburger on Garth in-between a gas station and the Deluxe Inn. It's always clean and the staff couldn't be better. They have a Full bar and a kick ass menu full of Asian Cajun Fusion grub. Seriously everything I've had so far has been delicious. Also plenty of Tvs for games and they also have a small patio out front. Stop by and give Black Bayou a try.

    ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE SEAFOOD HERE IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!! I got the huachinango entero... wow. sister…read moregot a torta - it was delicious. parents got tostada and shrimp cocktail just glorious!!! I LOVE THIS PLACE AND THE SERVICE WAS INCREDIBLE. a lil humid but i mean thats everywhere in houston. but will definitely be back

    Very disappointed!!! Didn't want to drive far to eat mariscos and this spot had so many good…read morereviews so I decided to give it a try! And was very disappointed!!! From start to finish!! Service wasn't good! When we went in, nobody welcomed you in or even assisted you in sitting.. we were lost and just decided to wave hands to a guy who I believe was the owner and moved our shoulder Ana hands like "where?" He pointed to spots like "anywhere!" Ok, let's just sit down and see if food makes up the rudeness. I was WRONG!! When we sat down, a lady who never made eye contact seem very agitated and in a hurry to not even slow down and listen to our order!!! Her eyes and body kept moving away while we were placing an order, rude!!! I was looking around the place and it seems like it has been here for quite a while so I wanted to see if the food was the reason because definitely the customer service??! WASN'T IT! Food arrived and the caldo de mariscos that my husband order was the size of a dish for a child!!! Lacked flavor!! And had ramen noodle size shrimps!!! Ridiculous!!! And big chunks of potato!!! I ordered the wrapped bacon shrimp plate and it's NOT the way it's originally made!! It only had jalapeño and shrimp and reheat/refried bacon!!! It was old and you could taste and see it!!NEVER AGAIN!!! Service!! And food go hand in hand and it was horrible!!! The ambience was just bland, no good enjoyable feeling at all!! Advice to clean the window separating the tables!! Come on it doesn't take that long!!! And the chairs too!!! Owner you should be ashamed because it shows you don't take pride in your business at all!!! Mariscos is very delicate and you serving people food that's not up to the standards it should be!?? Is dangerous and this place definitely doesn't pass food and hygiene

It's kind of in industrial and out of the way, but it is definitely worth it. My server agreed to be with a beautiful smile in Texas hospitality. She constantly checked on me to see if everything was fine. The food was amazing. Absolutely nothing wrong with this visit. When I come back to town, I'll definitely stop here again

    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.

    Let's first begin with the entrance and wait. I am Hispanic and frequent many Spanish restaurants…read more This was the first time we felt like an outcast. I felt like an American Hispanic outcasted at an a dining establishment tailored towards Hispanics of that region. Food: no stars We did not try. Customer Service: 2 stars We waited well over an hour for our order that never arrived. We ordered tacos and sat at the bar because the host said it would be faster.

    If you're trying to decide if you should eat here, just do it for the shrimp cocktail! LOL…read moreThe shrimp cocktail is the best Mexican style cocktail I have had in the United States. You can't get this anywhere else in the country, trust me. I have lived in Washington state and Tennessee. I have also vacationed or have traveled to every state for work. This shrimp cocktail is by far the most authentic. The sauce is slightly sweet and thinner in consistency than most cocktail sauces , which makes it very light. The flavor of the sauce deliciously blends with the onion, tomato, cilantro and avocado. Once you try this you'll be hooked. They serve it with lime and crackers. However, I don't eat mine with crackers...I eat it on chips because it's lighter and pairs better together, allowing you to experience the flavors and freshness of the cocktail. They also have a tasty Michelada. They make their own mix and I would have to say their mix is my favorite I've had so far. It's very light, not tomatoey (is that a word LOL) and full of flavor. If you ask me what else I've eaten here I would tell you nothing else. So, I can't comment on the other dishes because I love their shrimp cocktail so much..that's all I get! LOL I live in League City and drive to Baytown just for the shrimp cocktail. Can you tell how much I love it? LOL I've even tried to reverse engineer the sauce but, can't get it right. LOL The atmosphere, as you can see by my picture is nothing fancy but the restaurant is always clean. They are typically a little busy during lunch but, never on a wait. The day I came it was about 3 so, it was only me and 2 other tables. I sat in the booth against the wall. They have booths along the walls with tables in the center of the restaurant. Their prices are reasonable as you can see for yourself, I posted their menu. I'm giving them 5 stars for their shrimp cocktail and Michaela.
