We had a really nice lunch this afternoon at The Riverside Seafood and Grill. We originally…read moreintended to have lunch at the San Jacinto Monument Cafe, but they are not very disabled-friendly (I have a prosthetic and walk with a cane). Nonetheless, we had a very enjoyable meal and met a charming young lady by the name of Niki, who was our server this afternoon. She is the regular bartender on the weekends, and with her outgoing personality, I am sure she does well! Now to why y'all are reading this review: the food was seriously good. The fried pickles were like thin potato chips--nice and crispy. I had the seafood basket with fresh oysters, catfish, hushpuppies, and crawfish tails. My friend had the tilapia, and her French fries were nice and crispy, which she thoroughly enjoyed. It was a good afternoon to be had by all. Give them a try--you'll be glad you did. Be sure to ask for NIKI. Peace!

I have never ever been so disappointed with Monument Inn than I was yesterday and let me tell you…read morewhy. But first the good stuff: our server was fantastic. The Snack Attack appy was good. Friend said his Baked Stuffed Shrimp was good. I had the Mahi Mahi with the Pontchartain sauce. The fish was dry. The sauce was bland and seemed like the recipe was not yet finished. I didn't eat much, asked for a to go bag as I LOVE leftovers, but frankly it was not good enough to take home. The veggies were good but who takes home only the veggies without the main course? We were a party of two and were given one roll though we had two cinnamon rolls which were also good. I ordered a Lemon Drop Martini and it arrived less than half full. I have never received a half a glass Lemon Drop martini. I noticed others ordering the Lemon Drop martinis an all had a full martini glass. Since I had only 1/2 of a martini, I ordered another with the request of a full glass martini. The other glass was a little bit more filled than the first one. Really odd and the taste was not worth the effort of ordering. I noticed the Lemon Drop Martini came with a surcharge. Meaning I was billed for the martini and then another misc charge. I have never been charged a surcharge for a Lemon Drop martini. The menu does not say there is a surcharge. Charge what you are going to charge on one line, in total, like everyone else does OR explain yourself and teach the 20 year old server the answer so she is aware and can share with her customers. So I asked for the manager. Cameron huffed on over like he was in a super bad mood and serving up a huge dose of bad attitude unbecoming of a restaurant manager. Cameron came over all loaded for bear and went to the wrong table. . Funniest thing ever and I wish I had that on video. I politely inquired about the surcharge for the Lemon Drop martini and was told "that's the way it's been for 8 years and we are not going to change it for you." Apparently when you order the menu item of a Lemon Drop martini you are charged for a shot PLUS the up charge of placing the shot into a martini glass. None of this is explained on the menu. Perhaps state that when ordered because I don't work for Monument Inn and am not privvy to this special wackadoodle way of charging their customers for a martini listed on the menu. Then to be almost attacked as Cameron was apparently perturbed that a paying customer had the audacity to question about this insane way of pricing. I had enough of his belligerent and argumentative behavior because Cameron was doubling down with his less than stellar attitude. As such, I told Cameron he was about the rudest person I have encountered in this service industry and dismissed him. No customer deserves that kind of treatment. Thank Cameron's inappropriate interaction for the one star which Yelp forces us to give. Otherwise I'd not given a star at all. Cameron's nastiness ruined the entire experience. Well that and the overcooked fish with the lackluster Pontchartain sauce. Stick to their fried food menu items which is where this place shines. Oh and don't order the Lemon Drop martini.

So glad we found this place RIGHT next to our Hotel. The Family was looking for a little something…read moredifferent OUTSIDE of the BBQ and regular restaurants in Texas and we were very happy this place popped up on the other side of another restaurant we were ABOUT to eat at. Food was amazing and they were very friendly with the service. We just so happened to show up during Happy Hour AND Karaoke Night too! It was a pleasant night with good vibes. They even had $2 dollar beers! All in all, the place is a definite must if you're on that side of town and if not? Travel to it!

03.23.25 visited…read morethis place for dinner today, wanted to check it out and see how it compares to the other seafood restaurants in the area. very crammed seating, seems like the air condition wasn't even on, and one of the employees was eating at the table behind me, and would get up from time to time and deliver food to her tables, and then back to eating again, i wouldn't complain, however, she wasn't even washing her hands before serving the food to her tables. the snow crab seemed over cooked, perfectly cooked snow crab snap when you open it with you bare hands, these were like rubber bands, and you had to use the scissors they provided to open them. they trick you with the crawfish they serve the crawfish with the top layer as medium to large sized crawfish, then underneath it all, the crawfish are all babies, or cooked dead, which you're not suppose to eat dead crawfish.

I had a bad experience at this place first of all they used a rusty can to weigh the Crawfish…read morehandling the can and the Crawfish at the same time with the same gloves does not seem healthy to me. Second I asked for 3 pounds of Crawfish and to me it wasn't as heavy as 3 pounds i asked the guy is this 3 pounds he said yes! I took his word for it then when i got home there were 2.57 Pounds. Taste of the Crawfish is good but i would rather go somewhere else next time. If you don't mind getting less of what you paid for and had served your food from a rusty container it's your call.

I came here after watching a you tuber's video review. I observe lent fasting on Fridays and saw…read morethat Carla's had a shrimp po-boy I wanted to try. It is a small town diner essentially located in the Highlands. Not a very big space. Not sure what to do we grabbed menus and sat down no greeter or host at the front. We had to clear our own table because I only saw one waitstaff running around. We were finally told we can look at the menus and order at the front. I knew I wanted the po-boy and that is what I ordered, my wife got the shrimp basket, and our daughter ordered the steak finger basket. Our meal took a while to come out and what came out was not a shrimp po-boy. It was a shrimp sandwich on Texas toast. I looked at it and told the server that is not a po-boy. She said they were out of the hoagie rolls and that was a sub for the bread it would have been courteous to let me know before I ordered this that this was what was being offered. Unfortunately I had to send it back and order the basket instead and I do not like doing that. No tartar or ketchup was sent out with the meal and had to ask for it. They sent out room temperature tartar sauce in an already handled bottle by other guests which to me was not very sanitary. Will not be back. Also the prices do not match online or what was on the video. Good luck coming here :(

They have no A/C but plenty of fans going and cold beer, tvs for the games and good food. Horseshoe bar, plenty of tables, very friendly staff. The burger was on point, the rings were typical frozen bag and the shrooms were par but I still enjoyed it. They have load of other things on the menu to tickle your fancy. If you want a change of scenery, food and drinks then sneak off to Good Times Marina. Till we eat again.

My husband and I really wanted to move our 5th wheel to the Good Times RV Park but after this…read moreweekend we have changed our mind and no longer interested. We drove to the park to see if that perfect RV spot had opened up and was stopped by a very rude standoffish woman which we learned was the owner/manager Kathy (so she said). One thing I know real well is how to approach and welcome a prospective resident; a "Hello may I help you" with a smile is how you approach a person, but instead got a sharp rude "What do you need." Right then with her comment and mannerism I knew this was not where we want to be. We are sad that Good Times will not be our future home but dealing with a rude manager is not a place we want to call home. We never had a chance to try the restaurant which has rave reviews but be choose not to patronize a place management is not welcoming. Suggestion Ms Kathy practice you social skills when approaching a person.

Mambo is not what it used to be. Location is convenient off of IH10 East. Parking is a plenty…read more Depending on when you come there could be no wait to why did I agree to wait 90 minutes for a table? So the go to for me is the mambo #1 which consists of 2 fish filets, fried shrimp mambo rice or fries with a roll. It appears they have downsized this dish by a fish filet and while back I was able to get both the rice and fries but now you get only 1. The Coca Cola Freestyle machine is no longer here as well. I did see that crawfish is on the menu and our daughter had a combo of it with shrimp, potatoes, and corn. For $25.00 thought it was a rip off. Unfortunately our waitress didn't listen when I placed my order to come with fries because my plate came out with the rice. I had to get up to mention this because I couldn't get her attention. She also hovered over me at payout with the card machine. Also the temp in the dining room was set to freeze you alive. Overall not a good visit today, will I come back not sure?

Upon arriving everything started well and we thought I was going to give 5-Star but things changed…read more We were kindly welcomed in and the hostess set us immediately. The waiter came over and nicely started our order. We received our order in a good time. The fried rice was very dry and not there were some plain white rice in it, so not cooked well.I use to really like Mambo's fried wise but not that night. My niece didn't like the tacos she said they were not tasteful. The waiter never came over to check on us. We waited for a long time for us to get our tickets, he didn't come over to us. I went to the front of the bar and spoke with another waitress to let her know our waiter never came back to give us to-go boxes and give us our tickets. She didn't apologize she just turned around and saw him and starting talking to him in Spanish. He finally came over for us to pay. The service was very disappointing and the food was not what we expected.
