Usually LOVE Fat Grass. Bright shiny spot in the mostly dim culinary town of Bay City, TX…read more My wife and I decided to meet my parents here for their 64th Anniversary/Mother's Day celebration. Drove almost two hours from Houston for their Saturday brunch only to find the doors locked! Big time bummer! Maybe some tragic event? Hopefully not calling it quits! Bay City NEEDS Fat Grass! Went to Waterfront in Matagorda for lunch instead. Really nice, but not Fat Grass. Upon returning to retrieve our SUV from in front of Fat Grass, we notice that, lo and behold, they are opening for evening service. Felt like walking over and asking why their website fibbed to us, but foot hurting from recent surgery, so just traveled on to my parents house for drinks and the Kentucky Derby.... Therefore, not really a review; just a comment on the lackadaisical attitude of management I've come to expect from lesser establishments these days regarding treatment of "valued" customers... Nice job!

They have wine, margaritas and beer + queso, wings and other bar food. Our waiter was a nice young man that was running the bar and our table. He was very friendly and kept us entertained.

However, that was exactly what I was here for and I enjoyed the experience as we sat at the outdoor bar deck and enjoyed a meal, some beers, and boats sailing by. The food was fine, typical American affair without any special twists or faults.

This was our second visit to Cactus Jack's, and after our first experience I honestly didn't think…read moreit could get any better. The bar was already set incredibly high, but this visit exceeded our expectations. Our server, Kayla, made the entire experience outstanding. From the moment she greeted us, she was professional, friendly, and had a smile and personality that made us feel welcomed and appreciated. We started with the Trio appetizer and were very impressed. Kayla made sure we had plenty of extra chips, which was a nice touch. Throughout the meal, she kept our drinks full and checked on us regularly without being intrusive. Three of us ordered the Smoke Flavor Enchiladas, and they were absolutely amazing. My wife ordered the salad with grilled chicken and a side of fried okra, and she loved her meal as well. What really stood out was at the end of our visit. Kayla asked if she could box up our leftovers, and the way she packaged everything was incredible. It looked like we had ordered a complete to-go meal. That level of care and attention to detail is something I've never experienced before. Kayla made this visit truly memorable, and without a doubt, we will be asking for her every time we come back. Great food, great service, and an even better experience. Highly recommend!

The margarita was strong. The bartender was nice. Yesterday I stopped by for lunch. Service was good. However, I was disappointed in the food. I had the lunch fajitas, I'm not a fan of Spanish rice or refried beans. The rice was plain not seasoned. I had the cookie skillet for dessert. Ice Cream was salad as a rock. It even took forever for to melt from the heat of the cookie. Two gentlemen were sitting next to me at the bar. We was noticing how they had a few birthday celebrations that were taking place. Come to find out we both are Aries. Our birthdays are April. So one was nice of enough to pick up my tab.

The restaurant had a welcoming atmosphere and a great waterfront view, which made for a relaxing meal. The fried shrimp was delicious and exactly what we were hoping for on the coast. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared, and it really hit the spot after a long day. As an added bonus, we saw the park and playground across the way from Scully's and went there to burn off some of our lunch before jumping back on our roadtrip adventure.

Although there is plenty of free parking it is also located next to the docks so it can sometimes be difficult to find a parking spot due to all of the activity in the area.
