Millie's is a popular neighborhood seafood restaurant in Houston's Oak Forest area, known for Southern and coastal-inspired dishes, craft cocktails, and being genuinely family-friendly. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, including patios and a dedicated play area for kids, which already sets them apart. They have private parking spots out front and a large outdoor patio facing the street. We walked in without a reservation and were seated right away. They brought out a high-chair for our son immediately. Inside, the restaurant was busy, but it was a colder morning so the front patio wasn't being used much. They also have a separate backyard patio with a turfed, enclosed area where kids can safely play, which is a huge plus for families. We ordered from the brunch menu. [BRUNCH] +Lobster Roll for $38 - Maine lobster poached in butter, served in a brioche-style lobster bun with fries. My wife ordered this with fries, and I ordered the same dish with a Caesar salad. This lobster roll was excellent. They served the lobster folded into thick Texas toast and brought extra butter on the side. Easily one of the best lobster rolls I've had. It's definitely pricey, but absolutely worth it as an occasional splurge. The fries and salad were good, but the lobster roll completely stole the show. - 5/5 [KID'S MENU] +Basket of Fried Shrimp for $7 - Served with fries or fruit. My son didn't eat much of the shrimp, but I thought it was solid. He ate all the fruit. He had already eaten at home, so hunger may have been a factor. For the price, this was perfectly fine. - 4/5 Overall, Millie's Kitchen & Cocktails really impressed me. The lobster roll alone is worth returning for, and now that I've seen how seafood-forward the menu is, I'm excited to try more dishes on future visits. Add in the family-friendly setup, outdoor play space, and smooth service, and this is a place I'll gladly come back to for brunch (and more)!

The add ons of the various butters and toppings are just the icing on the cake (biscuit?). The restaurant also just has a great vibe and the service was friendly and helpful.

Everything was cooked to perfection and complemented each other. And to top it all off, the lemon bread pudding was an absolute delight! I definitely want to go back to try all the things I did not have room to try this time!

Waitress was really charming and she did not over whelm us and let us enjoy each others company. Started with the biscuits which were amazing, butter and the smears were all good. We tried the miso wings which I wasn't a fan of because the flavor had something about it that was different that I didn't like, the sticky texture was nice. I had the 5 wing plate with red beans and rice, The wing was hard to eat, a lot of bone and the meat was tough to get too, I'm not a big wing eater so take that with a grain of salt. They were crunchy and had a good look to them. Red beans and rice was pretty good, a lot of sausage chunks and I think bacon. Glad I tried it but not sure if I'll be rushing back.

I believe they advertise themselves as Vietnamese-style crawfish. I'm used to New Orleans/Louisiana style crawfish, but nonetheless, I was still eager to try. They started selling crawfish at 3 I got in line at 3:25. Line was small but moved veryyyy slowly. I got 2 lbs. ($11/lb pricey !!) of the hot & buttered -spicy, 2 eggs, and a sausage. It took about 45 min. to get my food. The sausage was decent but ultimately, I didn't taste any spice. It wasn't spicy at all. It was easy to peel so that was nice but I could tell the crawfish weren't from Louisiana waters .Idk i didn't like it, that's just me. It was worth a try though. The lines were long and I only see them getting longer as summer approaches. Still check them out, you just may like it!

At the counter, I ordered the (fried) 3 shrimp and 3 fish meal that comes with fries and salad for $7.50. I added a can of Coke (no diet options) as their soft drinks are all in cans except for Mexican Coke in bottles. Total meal cost with tax was under $10. The food came out in about 10 minutes. Taste wise everything was ok. The shrimp were butterflied and with a dark brown crust and the fish fillets were light brown. Fries were frozen. The meal was filling and inexpensive.

I often go during lunch time and the value and quality provided at this establishment is unparalleled. Blue Claw is simple- It is a quick place for nearby business men to go out for their lunch break and return for their 3pm water cooler chat. Sandwiched between Chili's, Chick-fil-a, and Pappadeaux, Blue Claw offers an Asian perspective to your weekday lunch rotation. I was in love with the portions of salmon. Tuna tataki and salmon tataki is the cheat sheet to bypassing their no-sashmi-during-lunch-time rule. The tuna slices are carefully marinated in ponzu sauce topped with jalepenos that are just spicy enough to get you to start ordering actual rolls. My favorite roll is the salmon lover roll. Salmon inside, salmon outside drizzled in an umami filled eel sauce. I will continue to dine here so long that this place continues to function! I hope more people are able to enjoy this lowkey find.
