I was here for the second time with my family. Delicious, let me repeat .. DELICIOUS crawfish. Ask for the side of curry sauce to dip in also and you will not be disappointed. read more

Typically I would drive right past a place like this based on their exterior, but I visited once because a friend wanted to eat there, and I have been a fan ever since. It is clear that this is a local favorite, and the service is always friendly. I personally am not a fan of fried catfish, but my friends say that it is the best in town. I love the oysters and Mexican shrimp cocktail. Both are delicious and you just can't beat the prices. Their steamed crawfish is also very good, and I have often seem people come in and buy multiple pounds of it for take-out. read more

* update!!!! sick for two days !!! Please beware not fresh!!!)I am disgusted by this meal . The scallops were vile and I am so afraid of how ill I am going to be this evening after eating this. Stay far away!!! Not fresh at all!! If I could put no stars I would. read more

The most disgusting Crawfish Etouffee I've ever tasted. I should have just ordered fried fish. The sauce tasted like a curry and I have to wonder if it was. Etouffee should be made with a roux. I suspect they either started with a poor roux or didn't even use one. I'm Cajun and have never had Etouffee this bad. I felt very let down. I was a little miffed at the start when our waitress wouldn't let us substitute the french fries on my daughters plate with a different side that cost the same on the menu. There was a charge for substitution - sure, whatever. Next, our waitress informed us the Etouffee plate was very large so my wife and I decided to split a plate. I asked if they could split it for us in the kitchen - our waitress went to ask and came back to tell us "...no, the kitchen says it's too complicated to do.." (complicated ???) Hokay - I decided I'd attempt the long division myself at the table with a spoon. (The empty restaurant I walked into + stingy management were starting to throw up tons of red flags) They bring out the Etouffee and It just doesn't look right. It's the grossest looking yellow I've ever seen. It was flat, insipid, and gross. I took one bite and lost my appetite. Our waitress came back and asked how everything was. I told her It wasn't right and I couldn't eat it. I actually expected to have a manager come to my table - nope. I could actually see her sitting at the booth on the other side of the restaurant not giving a crap about her guests. A good establishment with a good manager will make an effort to make sure their guests are taken care of. They clearly didn't give a crap about my disappointment. I had a crab cake for dinner, left hungry and mad with no desire to ever return. I was actually genuinely excited about finding a new seafood restaurant to frequent when I walked in. If the manager had just made an effort to come over and talk to me I don't think I'd be this miffed. I was set to pay for this horrible meal because my wife was eating it and didn't expect her to discount it. She agreed it wasn't good, but ate (some of it) anyway. On the plus side, my daughter loved her "fish nuggets". She's two and wanted chicken nuggets - we decided to order the fish nuggets to see if she wouldn't notice it wasn't chicken. For some reason they were not in nugget form but were just fried catfish. Luckily she was in a good mood and tried them and loved them. I tried a bite - the fried fish was good. Stay away from the Etouffee tho. read more

Not too bad compared to all the other places on that level straight to the point good seafood with out all the fanfare

Great crawfish and their curry sauce is amazing. My kids and I also love the corn nuggets. Service is slow sometimes.

The garlic butter crawfish was so delicious and the fried shrimp was so crispy and tasty. Will definitely be back.

I've tried this place a few times now. It definitely depends on what you order. The rice is delicious as is the fried fish. My complaint is that they can be heavy handed on the salt and wait time on food is a little much. read more

Pretty standard, mostly fried food. Fast and friendly service, though.

We shared the 40 shrimp family meal. The shrimp were large and lightly battered, just perfect. We split the sides, fried rice and fries. Both portions were very generous. The salad was pretty sad, but other than that, the food was good. Prompt service. read more

The food was beyond terrible and extremely over priced. We will never go back. We certainly won't be recommending either. Very dissatisfied and disappointed. If I could leave less than one star I would! read more

This was a great find!!! Reasonable prices, clean, friendly staff and the food was delicious! I had the shrimp poboy and my mom had the shrimp and oyster Pinot and gumbo... delicious!!! Highly recommend this place! read more

I came here with a friend who recomended the place with rave reviews. Unfortunately, my experience left a lot to be desired. The server was not at all knowledgeable about the menu or the food. We got crawfish and a few appetizers. The crawfish was bland and a bit overcooked. I probably wont be making the trip out there again. read more

Advice is to go in for service versus using the drive thru. Ordered a bowl of soup and had to wait 20 minutes to obtain food. Food is pretty good, but service is slow and lacks hospitality. read more

My husband and I are always looking for good seafood restaurants. When we saw thus one we were hesitant but decided to give it a try. The red flags were: i 1. It was formerly a Burger King 2. The menu includes seafood, Chinese food and hamburgers 3. The seafood is cheap, cheap cheap We ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp for an appetizer. The bacon was crisp on the outside but raw once you bit into it. I think they had wrapped the shrimp several times in the bacon....and that's all you could taste...bacon. I ordered the grilled red snapper with dirty rice, vegetables and a salad the dirty rice tasted like Uncle Ben's, the salad consisted of chopped iceberg lettuce, a slice of tomato and some slivered carrots. The worse part of the meal was the fish. It was obviously a frozen piece of some type of fish that had been cooked. There was no seasoning and it tasted FISHY. I took one bite and couldn't eat anymore. The "steamed" vegetables were still partially frozen! My husband ordered the fried shrimp. Same thing. Even the shrimp were fishy tasting. We will never eat here again. Total waste of money. We will stick to our favorite seafood place "joe lees" in kemah Texas where the food is consistently excellent and the price is right and the service is exceptional. read more

I stop in for lunch every month or so. The seafood is very good for a low price. They give you a lot for the money. I usually get the combination platters with stuffed shrimp and fish. It is always good. Their gumbo is also very good. This is fast food seafood at its best. This is a dive fish joint and worth a try for a quick meal. You can tell it's family owned and operated and they are always fast and friendly. read more

the place inside is dirty , when we ordered and brought us family of 4 our food he only brought it too two people and we were waiting 15 min for our food , overall the food is disgusting i would not recommend eating here . read more

The 'salad' is iceberg lettuce and a few shreds of carrot. The ranch dressing was disappointing, and in odd ways. Decent alligator. Cocktail sauce was indistinguishable from catsup. The check had random charges for things not ordered or consumed. The rice was mushy, the fries were burned. read more

Went there at 7:09 pm Tuesday. Was rushed in wanting me to make order. Ordered the large seafood gumbo. It had plenty of meat in it with a decent helping of rice. It appeared to be a tomato base gumbo which is my preference (watery). The waiter again rushed me into ordering. I order the (6) fried shrimp, (6) fried oyster w/ salad and french fried. Received everything but the salad. The fried food was COLD. The batter looked good, but to remind the reader, the food was COLD. Did not ask for the salad if the food came out cold, heck the salad may come out WARM. Waiter did poor service as he forgot to give me a staw, I had to fetch my own tobasco, tartar sauce, and ketchup. Waste of a trip, better off eating the Tuesday night greasy / diarrhea fried chicken special. read more

Came in on a Monday afternoon place was almost empty, staff was friendly and efficient. Ordered a small gumbo which was pretty good, I also got salmon, 3 shrimp and 3 scallop entree. Dirty rice was adequate, steamed veggies were good, the scallops were above par, the shrimp were really good, but then came the salmon appealing to the eye but when I took a bite I instantly knew it was far beyond its prime. When receiving the plate it had a fishy smell but I know salmon can smell like that but this by far was the worse salmon I have ever eaten. Bottom line: come for the gumbo but nothing else. read more

No. Just no. I tried it once and was totally let down. My friend told me to give it a second chance and was even more disappointed. The food is terrible. The crawfish looks scary. It comes in a bag and when you pour it out it literally stays in the shape. The never have the food ready when they say it will be. read more

Best fried seafood I've had. The popcorn shrimp is amazing and the ribeye steak was nice and juicy. Just the way I like it. Would definitely go back next time I'm in town read more

Love the shrimp fried rice. A little different from Chinese restaurants I guess that's why I keep coming back

Place is great, great food, great employees, and the boss is a nice dude. :)

I came back a second time 7 months later to see if it's still as good as the first time, yes! The crawfish is delicious with their special sauce! Coming back again soon! read more

The food tasted bland and is grease. Just go down the street to the sesame house. You will love it.

Stopped by with an out-of-town friend who wanted crawfish and after trying 3 other restaurants which had sold out, found this place. I have to say that I expected mediocre food when we entered, as while clean and with a friendly staff, just did not seem like the place to get great crawfish. All was not going to come splayed on paper from some cajun cook. Alas, a very pleasant surprise -- crawfish cooked to perfection with just the right blend of seasoning and sauce. I give 4 because of the style of serving (in a plastic bag rather than the traditional toss), but absolutely cannot knock taste -- a totally accidental and real gem of a find. read more

I have ordered their family pack several times, and i can say they never let me down. Their fish and shrimp are fresh and has nice breaded texture. Very tasty and I'll keep ordering from here. read more

Probably one of my favorite places to get crawfish. The service is great and the place is clean. All the waitresses are super sweet as well. Definitely recommend to get their curry with their crawfish as well. read more

I loved this place! The calamari was delicious. I order the shrimp and oyster poboy and it was scrumptious! I will definitely go back!

Biggest and best hamburgers in Dickinson, hands down. They are real burgers with a lot of meat and take a lot to finish with the fries. Seafood is good as well as the shrimp was hot and tasty and hush puppies are good. But their stand out on the menu are the burgers. Great place. read more

Good food. Nice waitstaff. Grilled scallops were firm and yummy. Fried oysters were quite tastey. Etouffe had good flavor. Fried gator was tender and delicious. read more

Amazing! My husband is not a big seafood lover, but he does enjoy the jumbo fried shrimp here. I LOVE their boiled crawfish & I try to go at least once a week during crawfish season. They were big & yummy & I ate every last one! Good job!! read more

I love it here! great friendly service, hot fresh seafood! great prices. you will not be disappointed. The portions are nice and the food is Hot and fresh!! I love the Fish and Shrimp with garden Salad!! read more

Food was amazing, service was excellent. Reviews here weren't the highest so I was hesitant but it must just be a couple pissed off customers who wanted to rant. I highly recommend and would go back 100% read more

I hated this place and so did my wife. The service was crud and the food was ok. I haven't been back in over two years, that should speak volumes about that place. The building needs a make over. read more

Without a doubt the best family style seafood place around. The shrimp are the best I've ever had, they really take care with them. And they have fried scallops too. Reasonably priced hole in the wall, almost no ambience but this is where to go get heaping plates of seafood. They will tell you how the crawfish, crab, and oysters are that day and where they got them (always been the Gulf except last year after the BP spill they imported some oysters). I often try fried shrimp at other places but after having them at Dickinson Seafood you won't want them from anywhere else. Amazing. Lightly breaded and always cooked just right. read more

Just came back from lunch on a recommendation from a friend winning the place smell like an old folks home ordered the seafood platter it was just pure garbage the fish was overly battered the shrimp stink the rice smell like an old blocks and rice totally dissatisfied avoid at all costs don't even waste your money I should have known it was a problem when I saw just three cars in the front what a waste of time just came back from lunch on a recommendation from a friend winning the place smell like an old folks on ordered the seafood platter it was just pure garbage the fish was overly batter the shrimp stink the rice smell like an old blocks of rice totally dissatisfied avoid it all costs don't even waste your money I should have known it was a problem when I saw just three cars in the front what a waste of time read more

If your looking for fresh seafood this is the place! Service can be lots better but for the price and the quality it makes up for the mediocre wait staff. Crawfish has always been amazing -spicy and decent sizes! Can not get that from most places around here!! read more
