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.

A renowned restaurant called Johnny Cace's closed a few years ago, and locals were so sad. But the remaining family members regrouped, and opened a small takeout kitchen, much to our relief! Then, they got the opportunity to move into the original downtown location from decades ago. They have transformed the space into a cute café, featuring some of the most popular menu items from the much larger Johnny Cace's restaurant. The roumelaude should be its own food group. It's incredible. We love the gumbo, the shrimp étouffée, shrimp in shorts, and the smash burgers! Their famous garlic croutons are sold by huge bags for major holidays. The cheese spread and corn relish are in demand always. When they have oysters, it is worth going out of your way to go get some. The Cace family continues their legacy of great food and the hospitality to match. AND they ship via Goldbelly, which I tried out a few months ago for a friend who had moved away. She was thrilled!!!!

Oh well, we stumbled into Taste of Caddo and were glad we did and that they were open because we were hungry! It's a decent sized small establishment with maybe 15 tables. The decor is East Texas/Louisiana which goes perfectly with the name. There were 6 of us, we were staying in RVs at the state park but wanted a break from doing our own cooking. The server seated us quickly and we soon ordered drinks. A few minutes later after the drinks arrived we put in our food orders. I decided to have a good old fashioned hamburger, they called the one I ordered a Swamp Burger but there was nothing swampy about it. 1/2 lb of meat, cheddar cheese, grilled onions and mushroom son a brioche bun and served with a good size helping of home made fries. My wife opted for lighter fare with the Chef Salad. Both of our meals were great and our friends enjoyed theirs as well. The place is quite casual and I imagine popular with locals as well as tourists. They were in no rush to get us to vacate our table, we finally had to ask for checks. Our server said, "just meet me at the register" so we lined up and paid our bills. When in Jefferson, give Taste of Caddo a try, they are doing a great job of serving up good food and hospitality.
