    My family and extended family gets it to go and have been for years (we live in Houston). There's nothing like crawfish season in Texas! The crawfish at Boyd's is always huge and we were very pleased with the size this year. Meat wise - lots of it. Flavor wise - Cajun is not as strong or punchy as Viet Cajun, but it's there.

    Coconut Shrimp
    Candy C.

    Fast and friendly service. No dining room. There are a couple of covered picnic tables outside. Fried Coconut Shrimp with 2 sides - fries and corn fritters (yummy fried goodness. The shrimp was perfectly cooked salty with coconut sweetness. Fries were crispy and corn fritters - hush puppies with corn). This location is so convenient for posting Texas City Dike fishing meal/snack. I will be back.

    Crawfish went straight to the trash can!
    Karina S.

    Bought 10 lb of crawfish that went straight to the garbage. I can tell the crawfish were boiled the day before or even more than that. It's dangerous to eat, the tails are dark grey/ black! See the pictures attached. Waist of money and time! Very disappointed. Shame to sell that kind of product to customers. if it won't be too far to drive, I would return this garbage!

    craws and corn
    Sher R.

    I had the crawfish bundle with potatoes, corn and sausage. The food was so delicious and fresh. I ate on the side of the beach and it was very peaceful.

    $2 lb! I drove from clear lake to get this deal. I brought 8lbs of crawfish and two potatoes for myself. Shaking my head and couldn't eat more than five pounds. I put up a good fight tho. Lol They were not spicy at all, sizes were mixed and not really juicy. So don't worry about sucking head. A few were over cooked but overall pretty good, just not spicy enough. I tired to order over the phone but they do not take cooked orders over the phone. Which is said because it's always a line at the window.

    Shrimp taco $2
    Jeremy T.

    Returned and tried the blackened shrimp tacos. They are made similar to the Baja California way, not the lame houston way (with lettuce...lol), so they're actually pretty good. Shredded cabbage, chipotle sauce, thick white corn tortilla, pico de gallo, squeeze of lime.....yummo!

    Sign stating they had almost none of the food on their menu available

    Gilhooley's is a great place for oysters and shrimp, fixed about anyway you find. The Oysters…read moreGilhooley are a nice local touch to an New Orleans dish, chargrilled oysters!! To. You can add a shrimp on top and turn it into a "Shrimphooley". Everything they serve is outstanding, but I focus on anything "oyster"! If you're a chicken liver or gizzard person, they have the absolute best I've ever eaten. When you arrive you might scratch your head and wonder, "should I really go into this place?", but don't hesitate. If you think it's a bit crude and unrefined now, you should have seen it 18-20 years ago. Back then they didn't have a table with 4 chairs that matched; you'd see people sitting at the bar early in the day having their beer and cigarette, looking like the missed their weekly Saturday bath. Sitting outside was the best spot when the weather was good and the outdoor bar was very convenient. Years ago there was neighborhood guy (I can't remember his name now) who would go around table to table with his home made salsa haveing you tasted it and then selling you a jar with some chips to accompany your fantastic meal. Once of the best policy which they've kept for years is, "

    It looks like a biker bar from the outside, but weekday afternoons are mellow and easygoing. It's…read moresuper casual, laid back, and has that unmistakable locals‑only energy -- even when it's quiet, you'll still hear customers and staff calling to each other across the bar. The outdoor seating area is a great spot to unwind, and the roaming cats add their own brand of entertainment. Food ranges from great to "maybe next time." Hushpuppies are a skip. The spinach artichoke crab dip is solid, and the raw oysters taste good but are sometimes overly salty. The shrimp gumbo is some of the best I've had, though it occasionally suffers from the same heavy hand with salt. Still, I always get a bowl to go. For entrées, the fried catfish is the favorite, but it's not always consistent; sometimes it comes out overcooked, sometimes they get it right. The grilled platter is a dependable alternative. And whatever you do, trade the fries for onion rings -- they're the sure thing on the plate. Even with the occasional overcooked catfish and oversalted dishes, we keep coming back. The vibe, the gumbo, and the character of the place make it worth the trip.
