Had a choice of the bar or dining room and chose the dining room. Ordered a side salad and shrimp scampi. The wait for food was average even though there wasn't many customers.

The food -- we loved every single thing we tried. Boudin balls, greens, shrimp and grits, catfish campti. Come hungry! Portions are big and for a fair price We got lucky and didn't wait too long but I've heard there can easy be an hour wait. You can sit in the bar area or enjoy the water view. So good I might be back tonight!

Today was no exception, when I got home only had catfish, no side no hush puppies. Who wants to drive back to pick up the rest of the order?

Got rice with chicken. Rice was undercooked a few minutes. Not enjoyable at all. I had added…read morechicken but not much flavor and offset by hard rice. Nasty, threw most of it away.

Came to this restaurant for my birthday today with my parents…read more My dad ordered the charbroiled oysters and onion rings. I ordered the fisherman's platter with onion rings, and Mom ordered the fried rice with all the meats. Dad's oysters and onion rings came out first after probably 20 minutes. He was satisfied with both. I'm thinking they probably cooked his as an appetizer, which is why it was brought out first. Prob 15 minutes later (Dad was already finished) mom's fried rice and my fisherman's platter arrived. Portion size was big on both. Mom's fried rice had chicken, shrimp and crawfish in it. She said some seasoning would have kicked it up a notch, but that it was fine. My fisherman's platter was a mixed bag. The fish, shrimp and onion rings were very good and I'd get them again. However, I wasn't a big fan of the crawfish tails, the fried oysters or the crab cake. Something tasted off with them, and I left them there. I deduct a point only because of the slow service. If and when I go back, I'd probably just get the fish and shrimp with onion rings.

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.
