    Mushroom Swiss Burger
    Marti A.

    Food was amazing and fresh! The burger was the best burger I've ever had; it was very flavorful. The catfish was cleaned and seasoned to perfection. The interior was inviting and what you would expect in a small Texas town. The server was attentive and very friendly. I would drive over an hour for this place!

    Forgot to get a picture of the menu but the apps sound mighty tasty

    Had the Special Taco Salad. One of the best I ever had. Service was great. It's in the middle of nowhere. I will be back.

    Best Chicken Fried steak I have had in a long time. Mashed potatoes and green beans were very tasty. Will definitely be back again.

    A great spot! They have amazing seafood boils, including crawfish when it's in season. Sunday…read morebuffet is on point and includes fried chicken. The best part is that Bubba gives back and sponsors the annual fireworks show on July 4th that goes on for over an hour! It's a true gem.

    Ambiance is relaxed and laid back, plenty of room for solos and large gatherings. They don't lack…read morefor space. Staff were friendly-ish. Seadrift is a small town of just under 1000 people, sometimes your job and get a little cumbersome. It showed. Staying in Tivoli at an AirBnb, so we thought we'd give it a try based on local recommendation. Was hoping it was that hole in the wall knock your socks off establishment that would make me want to stop again and again. But it wasn't. Maybe my expectations were too high going in. Let's start with the positives. Crab dip was creamy and delicious, just didn't taste like crab. Oyster appetizers should always come on a half shell. The Rock-yer-feller oysters came on a small ceramic plate that came out of the oven with no shells. The flavor was just ok. I wouldn't get it again. The oysters were hardy and good in size, made me feel like maybe they were from a jar or can. Stuff crab was meh. Shrimp didn't have seasoning, cocktail sauce was vinegar based? There was just a strong vinegar presence. The fish was by far the all star but even it tasted a little slimy when you took off the breading. Zero seasoning on the breading. The fried oysters were delicious, and I loved the fried mushrooms. Hush puppies are from a freezer bag. My daughter loved her fried chicken tenders. At $170 for three appetizers and three meals with one Dr Pepper, I felt like someone just kicked my dog. We didn't buy any, but the Snow crab was MP at $54 a pound? That's 100-150% markup from the wholesale. HEB sells it for $22 a lb at retail which is at least a 40% markup from wholesale. If your prices are going to be that high, your food should meet the expectation. It felt more like a person, opening a seafood restaurant in a fishing community, that buys everything from a frozen vendor, cooks it like a fast food restaurant, and sells it at a farm to table price. I paid and tipped generously. But there was nothing that made me want to come back.
