    Residents of La Marque, Texas City, and surrounding areas of a certain age remember a Chinese eatery called Rose Garden. Rose Garden went out of business a few years ago, and in its place rises JLB Eatery. Based on what I could gather online, there are quite a few JLBs in Greater Houston, with this location likely the newest one. No. 15 to be exact, per the extremely kind Ms. Kara, the franchisee. The eatery serves the usual American favorites such as fast food and seafood in a laid back setting. Given its the second Friday of Lent, my mom and I came here determined to try the timeless British classic, fish and chips. JLB has three options for the item, and we went with the one-piece just to be on the safe side. I admit, I was expecting my meal to be small, but my eyes lit up when the waitress brought us our baskets. Instead of one piece, each had two, which were prepared in Cajun cornmeal batter per Ms. Kara's recommendation, lying on a bed of fries. Also included were onion rings, a hush puppy, and toast. I'm delighted to say that we immensely enjoyed our orders. The fish didn't even taste like fish, but like chicken. It was nicely done as were the accompanying sides. Portions size, huge enough for an individual meal to where it could feed two people. My assumption is that if the F&C is great, the other items on the menu would be on par or better. However, I have to wait until after Easter to find out if the burgers and chicken are also worth it. Ms. Kara is a joy to talk to. Let me assure you that she'll take care of you if you stop by here.

    This is a comedy shop not a restaurant. I was the only person there and I ordered 2 chicken sandwiches COMBO and a 6 piece chicken nugget COMBO and you gave me a slice of bread for almost 40 dollars and tried to say it's my fault for not checking the receipt???? First of all I corrected you TWICE at the counter and POINTED to the menu in front of you what I wanted. Don't play dumb, admit your prank on a customer or tell people to check their orders before they have to slog home through traffic, construction and accidents to find out you cucked them on the order for their family instead of blaming them.. DO NOT GO HERE!!!! Less than one star.

    Food was good. Maybe a little overpriced for the quality. I don't know if I'll go back honestly..

Inside was not really better, very old looking, also went to bathroom to wash up and there was an odor from the water. Thought I was in for a bad experience, but was totally surprised on how good everything was. Our waitress was very tentative and prompt and welcoming. We ordered spicy calamari, great amount of calamari and the hit of spice was detected. Fried nicely as well. I had the gumbo which the dark rue is how i like it, good amount of ingredients and the cup filled to the top that when putting the rice in it overflowed. Crawfish it was called curry style, was thinking there were going to be some hint of Indian flavoring, it wasn't. Though it was very delicious, very buttery/garlicky and another seasoning I couldn't put my finger on, but they were delicious. You can order more of their seasoning mix which we did and mixed it in the crawfish bag. Also 5lbs for $25 is a win.
