It doesn't get better than Holiday Restaurant, in Zapata. The scratch prepared, high quality meals…read morehave certainly created many memorable dining experiences. The new menu offers excellent choices, including flamed grilled steaks, homemade burgers & fries, seafood, Mexican Food, salads, soups, appetizers & desserts. The well maintained fresh salad bar is the focal point of the dining area. Soup of the day variations, continues to impress me. At my most frequent visit, I had the Italian Sausage Tomato Orzo Soup. It was like nothing I've ever had before. The flavor was so addictively delicious! The soup & salad bar serving was included with the Ribeye Steak lunch special. If I'm not mistaken, I think Holiday Restaurant is the only restaurant in Zapata that serves flamed grilled steaks. My Ribeye Steak was perfectly seasoned & grilled to perfection! The homemade mashed potatoes & veggies, only added more flavor. It was an amazing deal for $12.99. Whenever I'm visiting Zapata for business, dining at Holiday Restaurant is the highlight of my day. Consistency, great quality & superior customer service has me coming back for more.

"Authentic Southern-Fried Seafood Done Just Right" 08-04-2025…read more A huge shoutout to the cooks at Baffin Bay Seafood! These guys seriously know how to throw down in the kitchen. If you're craving fresh, authentic southern fried seafood, look no further; this is the spot. My husband and I stumbled across Baffin Bay on our way back to Houston from Edinburg, Texas. We were starving, craving some good ol' fried seafood, and after scouring the web, this baby popped up about an hour's drive away from Edinburg. By the time we arrived, our appetites were in high gear, and let me tell you, the wait was worth every mile. From the very first bite, we knew we'd hit the jackpot. Hubby and I were beyond satisfied that we chose this place over all the other options that Yelp had to offer. The rave reviews are well-deserved, and those food photos online? They don't lie. I could practically smell and taste the fried black drum fillets through the screen, and the real thing delivered even more flavor than I imagined. The atmosphere had that warm, small-town vibe where everyone knows everyone, reminded me a little of that series, "Dawson's Creek." We were greeted by the nicest woman (wish I had gotten her name), and right away we felt at home. Now, don't be fooled by the outside of the building, it might not look like much, but we all know the saying, "Looks can be deceiving." Inside, it's cozy but not cramped, with patio seating option that overlooks the bay. The view is calm and peaceful, the perfect backdrop for good food and drinks. Sadly, we didn't have time to sit and linger, but believe me, I was eyeing that bar! They had some of my favorites stocked on the shelf, Tito's Vodka, Apple Crown Royal, and 1800 Silver. Next time, I'm planting myself on a barstool and unwinding with a cocktail or two. Food Ratings: Fried Red Fish- 5/5 - Fried to Crispy-Golden-Brown Perfection! Fried Shrimp - 5/5 - Fried to Crispy-Golden-Brown Perfection! Redfish Po'Boy - 5/5: Fully loaded, fresh veggies, golden-brown toasted hoagie: mouthwatering. Fried Onion Rings - 5/5: Authentic and hand-cut, not the frozen stuff. Fried Okra- 5/5 - Tasted super fresh like they had been picked straight from the garden. Steamed Broccoli- 5/5: Perfectly cooked, tender but still with a crunch. Tartar Sauce- 5/5: Tangy, bold, and packed with flavor (a little strong on the onion, which I loved). Hubby went with the fried redfish Po'Boy and fried okra. He originally wanted black drum, but since they were out, he settled for the red, and he swears it was the BEST Po'Boy he's ever had. We both agreed that they are very generous with their portion sizes. I ordered the Take Two Fried Platter which comes with shrimp and your choice of fish (red, cat, or black drum), accompanied by two sides; I opted our for steamed broccoli and fried onion rings with the red fish. Everything came out hot, fresh, and fried to absolute perfection. Not a single bite disappointed. Bottom line: this place is the real deal. If you're near the Gulf of Mexico and want authentic, down-in-the-Valley, southern fried seafood, make Baffin Bay Seafood your go-to because this is the place to get it! I'm already planning my return visit. Highly, highly recommended; you will not be disappointed! Guaranteed.

Once we finally sat down, it took forever for anyone to even take our order. I ordered the salmon and shrimp, and the salmon came out undercooked, so it had to be sent back. On top of that, I couldn't even get a simple drink refill. I asked one server walking by--nothing. Asked another one--still nothing. Asked the same girl a second time, and only then did she finally bring it, but by that point I was already finished with my meal. The service was unbelievably slow and frustrating. If this is what it's like when the place is almost empty, I can't imagine how bad it must be on a busy day.
