    Scenic Bayou views from the patio.

    If you haven't been to Bluebird Fish Camp, Restaurant. Orange Texas you are missing out. If you haven't been in a while, stop back in and pay them a visit. Delicious handmade burgers and so much more on their menu, nice spacious patio overlooking bayou, super friendly people, and quick service all at a great price. Two bacon cheeseburger baskets with a choice of fries or onion strings, and tea or canned drink for less than $25. Definitely a hidden gem that is worth venturing out of your way.

    Great atmosphere and fantastic food. Fried green tomatoes with crab salad? Over the top! Great gumbo and a really solid, classic old fashioned burger. The sign says it all, this is THE place to eat :)

    I had this placed bookmarked for years. After making a trip to Lake Charles, we stopped by for a recharge before hitting the road again. So glad we did. It's a casual environment with inexpensive food options and beverages including wine and beer. Fresh crab, shrimp, fish, and all the sides. Beyond the seafood items, they have burgers, fries, and more. Very nice outdoor patio overlooking the water. Do not pass this place up.

    We stumbled on this place just off I10 and what a gem! The burger is to die for and was cooked to order. And we watched a small gator lazily meandering in the water as we ate. Great food and atmosphere- who could ask for more.

    Awesome place. Good people. I enjoyed eating right up on the water. Great fried crab brisket sandwich was the best! Pork chop sandwich was quality but a little dry and could have used a little more seasoning. Overall great experience. I will be back. Not sure what his name was but the bald black fella was super nice gave me great suggestions and I can tell he takes pride in his craft. Very good dude.

    I was headed to look at a car at the dealership in Orange. Took a wrong turn and passed by this place. Looked kind of sketchy but lots of cars around it. We said we wanted some seafood. Well we go to the dealership and drive a few. Find one I liked and they were cleaning it. We decided after several hours to go eat. We asked a couple of people about it and they tried to lead us elsewhere. I wanted to try this place because they are usually the best places. It didn't disappoint!! Really clean inside. People inside and out were super nice!! And the food was off the charts! I ordered the fish and it said two pieces. Pictured small ones, but nope! Fresh, fried to perfection and delicious! Served with fries or onion strings, salad and toast! My mom and friend ordered the shrimp and they were delicious also (I had to taste them). They were huge and tails off which made them easy to eat. We ordered a side of onion strings, which were great and some fried pickles (don't judge) they were good but I had so much food I shouldn't have ordered them!! I give them 5 stars because I couldn't give more! And I let the dealership know they need to be sending people there! One guy said they had great breakfast!

    Not a fancy place. Had second thoughts when we pulled up. Hamburgers, hush puppies and onion strings were on point.!

    Food is great! Fish and seafood is the best! Wait staff is great too! It's our favorite place!read more

    It was Memorial Day and on our way home from the casinos in Lake Charles, discovered we were hungry…read moreand decided to give Tia Juanita's another try. We gave it a shot when we first moved from the NASA area four years ago, so it was about time. I loved the fact they were open on Memorial Day, and they didn't seem to be too busy. Mostly golfers and their ilk. Our server was Kaitlyn, who was very fast. She reminded me of Mary Lou Retton. Very fast. Almost too fast? I asked a question about the amount of breading in the crab cake, and she said there was none. Seems unlikely, since crab cakes need a binder. I am intolerant of the gluten, so when she said the crab cakes had no binder, I was hesitant. I took the safe road and ordered the cucumber snacker and a boudin ball. My BF ordered a ribeye, and (because he thought he was super hungry), ordered chips and salsa as a starter. Kaitlyn brought out my wine and our chips and salsa straight away. The chips were very stale, the salsa was tasty but a little spicy for my taste. Everything arrived at our table at the same time, even though I ordered two apps as my meal. Kudos to Kaitlyn. The cucumbers were good, especially with the jalapeño ranch. No one can mess up a cucumber, but the jalapeño ranch was tasty. My boudin ball was meh. My BF ordered his ribeye medium temperature, and it arrived rare. Kaitlyn checked in on us a couple of minutes after the food arrived. He told her about the steak and she quickly whisked it away. ~5 minutes later, someone delivered the new steak. My BF enjoyed the new steak, baked potato and salad. When we visited four years ago, we felt rushed. I felt rushed this time as well. Obviously, Tia Juanita's is doing very well. You can't swing a rope without seeing another TJ's in SETX. It's probably just not our jam. I like a nice meal without feeling rushed. I also prefer to eat with a proper fork and knife. I would, however, like for the manager to respectfully respond to negative reviews. They seem to respond to positive reviews only.
