    Daiquiri- Where's the liquor? Lol
    Jessica A.

    I frequent the lotus on Veterans Memorial mostly, as it's closer to my house. I've heard so many great things about the Stafford location and since I was in the area, I decided to give it a try. Needless to say I will stick with my veterans memorial location, while Stafford has the bells and whistles of a nice, updated area inside, it's nothing like the customer service at veterans and the food and flavors at veterans. Maybe I am a little bias. Lol. Portions on my loud pack felt like I was most definitely missing some items. The food was hot and fresh, just missing my veterans memorial flavors. Yes at Stafford, you get daiquiris which I thought did not have any alcohol in them and mixed drinks. I felt as if I was having a slushy, and not the one from sonic. The mixed drinks might be good, but I didn't try those so I can't speak on them. It is counter service and you clean your own tables, granted the person before you clean up behind themselves. If you're in the area, I suggest you give it a try otherwise I would not make a commute just to go here. It's pretty basic to say the least.

    On this visit, I more so came for family time as I was still full from my massive lunch. However, lol, it is hard to go to Lotus and not get anything, so I got corn on the cob, sausage, and a daiquiri which was just what my taste buds and appetite needed. The sausage and corn was of course flavorful and my daiquiri blend was great. The good thing about Lotus' daiquiri's is that you get to sample your desired blends (as many as needed) until you have your desired combination. Simply put, I just do not think you can go wrong with Lotus. Forever a fan!

    Home cooked taste. Great portion, can be a bit busy specially Sunday only open location great location

    Good solid seafood with a cool low key vibe. Haven't tried other locations but this location have plenty parking spots available. I appreciate the ease of parking. I love they have happy hour during the week. They have boil or fried seafood options with a full bar. You order your food at the counter and they bring it to your table. We usually get the boiled shrimp pack that comes with 1 corn and 1 potato. Portions are hefty with plenty leftover. This time we tried the boiled crawfish which were a little hard and I've had better to be honest. Wouldn't get the crawfish again. But the wings are delicious! My favorite go to place for boiled shrimp and or wings. The Louisiana remix and Louisiana rub flavors are my favorites for the wings. I could see ordering a 10 piece with fried rice and being completely content. Overall for 2; we spent about $60 with the tip. Next time I'll try the fried rice!

    BEST FLAVORING HANDS DOWN! Food: I had the hot pot. Only because bugs are out of season. Oh man. The sauce was amazing, the boil was just right on peel for shrimp and crab. Then the owner kindly gave me some crack sauce. I know why they call it crack sauce now. By the end of dinner I was sucking it out of a bag trying to get my fix. Ambiance: It's just right for what it is. It's clean, and it smells like delicious seafood boil. Nothing too fancy. Service: The gentleman who helped me at the bar was the kindest (unfortunately I caught him right at his break). other than that, this maybe could use a slight pep in its step. If you ask, they most kindly respond! It might have been a weird hour since I was at the bar alone, so I won't dock any points here. The owner himself made up for any lack there! I'll 100% make this drive back during crawfish season

    A MUST!!!!! This place is amazing the food is delicious and the service is so inviting i realky enjoyed it....very busy environment but definitely worth the sit down....My family and I ordered the FULLY LOADED LOUD PACK (spicy) which was Shrimp (large), corn, sausage, potatoes && boiled eggs over a bed of fried crawfish and shrimp rice with a side of CRACK SAUCE as they call it! So if you're in town or on this side of town stop by and try them and leave your review ;) I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!! THANKS LOTUS FOR HAVING US see you all again soon

    First time visiting Lotus Seafood, and I'm definitely coming back! The place wasn't crowded at all, so there was plenty of seating to choose from. I loved that they have a full bar with TVs all around, making it easy to relax and enjoy a good meal. They offer a nice selection of daiquiris, cocktails, and mixed drinks--perfect for pairing with their amazing seafood. And I have to mention the crack sauce! This sauce is out of this world, so if you go, just trust me and order extra packets--you'll thank yourself later. The service was fantastic, too. The guy working the cashier was super friendly and took the time to explain each dish since it was my first visit. I really appreciated how thorough he was in helping me choose. Overall, an incredible first experience with delicious food and great drinks.

    Lotus is definitely one of my top spots for fried fish. The catfish fillets are cooked to perfection--crispy, well-seasoned, and consistently good. My family enjoys visiting the Stafford location, and the food keeps us coming back. That said, there are a few areas that could improve. The customer service could be better, as some staff members do not consistently show politeness or strong customer service skills. Additional training would make a noticeable difference. Cleanliness is another concern. Customers are expected to clean up after themselves, but not everyone does, which can leave the dining area messy and affect other guests. More frequent table checks or staff support would help keep the space cleaner. The sides are not the best, but they are decent. The crack sauce is good, although I do not like that there is an extra charge for it. Even so, we still purchase it. Overall, despite these issues, we enjoy Lotus and will continue to be customers.

    Ordered the gumbo and crackers and the spiciest level of the snow crab cluster. Really yummy food and the spiciness was very good and yet it didn't overpower the crab flavor.

    Hot Box !!!

    Customer service from TaTa and Sam was amazing they were very welcoming and helpful when it came to placing my order. Food was great thank you guys so much !!! Keep up the great work !!!

    Lotus used to be my favorite for spicy crab legs and shrimp. I always used to go to Lotus when they were at main location off belfort. Today I stopped at the one in Mo City. Ordering was easy but they were out of fried green tomatoes...which is what I wanted to try. We got the loaded hot box, kids popcorn shrimp and fries, a Hurricane Wine drink and the fried Oyster, side of mac, fries and fish plate. My hot box was good but my sons mac was given to him in an enclosed mini to go plastic container and was barley warm. He liked the fries but not the shrimp. My mom ate her fish but she said it was gritty and passed on the 2nd piece. The front desk people were very nice and the decor of cartoon characters was cute...they have a full bar too....but since the food didn't wow me this time I won't be back to this location.

    Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen did NOT disappoint !…read more We ordered a mix of fried seafood, oysters, and a loaded baked potato, and everything was so flavorful and satisfying. The fried platter was crispy, well-seasoned, and not greasy at all. The shrimp and fish were cooked perfectly, and the portions were definitely generous.

I've had great mango lemonade and other mango drinks that were excellent, this wasn't one of them. I sent the lemonade back and tried a virgin Bloody Mary. It was good but the bartender didn't provide the traditional garnish that accompanies the drink. I asked for some Tabasco sauce and Jazmine took her time giving ma a bottle. She literally did 3 interim transactions before taking the 7 seconds it took to get the Tabasco. What has happened to the service at Pappadeaux? My fried crawfish were TOO salty so I returned them and they remade the order. Today the kitchen was slow but these things happen. My crawfish tails arrived hot and tasty. These were excellent! The food was average unfortunately, not like the Pappadeaux of old. The ambiance was subdued, tame actually for a lunch crowd. Do I recommend this restaurant, not really. GN3

I actually drove an entire hour in bad weather just to try it and it was worth every single minute. From the first bite, the flavor was unforgettable. The seasoning is executed to perfection bold, buttery, Cajun-forward with the ideal balance of salt and spice. Rich, well layered, and deeply satisfying. The crawfish were easily some of the best I've ever had: generously sized, beautifully seasoned, and packed with flavor. While a few were smaller, they were still impressively meaty, which speaks to the overall quality and consistency. Every bite delivered that crave-worthy, finger licking goodness. We also ordered the shrimp and crawfish fried rice combo, and fried tilapia and it was phenomenal hands down one of the best fried rice dishes I've had in a long time. The flavors were bold and perfectly infused throughout. Just thinking about it again has my mouth watering. The service was exceptional friendly, efficient, and welcoming. The ambiance has a lively bar-style vibe with music always playing, and they even offer live music at times, which makes it a great spot to dine in. I'm already planning to come back to experience it in person. If a place is good enough to drive an hour through bad weather for, it's doing something right. Mike's Seafood is easily one of the best seafood spots in Houston, and I'll absolutely be back.
