Small little place cooking up some yummy seafood. Staff is super friendly. Popular place as the amount of people coming through the doors prove. The fried shrimp were very tasty with a tad bit of spice in the batter. The fried catfish was crisp, fresh with a lovely clean taste and delish melt in your mouth finish. read more

OMG Seafood - Seafood Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

Decided to try it to see what the "hype" was all about....and unfortunately I was disappointed that I wasted time and money on the hype. Granted it could have been a bad day for them since it was Good Friday but I should have went with my initial gut when I walked in and cancelled my order. When I walked in there was this burn smell like someone had been smoking cigarettes in the middle of the dining room...come to find out 45 minutes later when I got the fried fish and shrimp basket it was the burnt oil they were using to fry food. That's right...a 45 minute wait when I "called" in my order for burnt tasting fried fish for lent. read more

The food is hot and fresh and came out quick. It's also very delicious. However I didn't get what I asked for. I was 1st mistaken by thinking that they had fried okra, I thought I saw someone say it was delicious under this restaurant on Yelp. I was incorrect they don't have that here. But I still wanted fish and shrimp combo and fries and that's what I asked for.. all fried. Since they didn't have okra I went straight to Chicken Express to get some okra to go with my meal after getting my to go bag. Chicken express is also Fast and Fresh and delicious. I came home to find out I didn't get my shrimp at all though.. I even got stopped by the train smh so when i finally got back that's when I saw no shrimp! I called the restaurant asking about whether or not I was charged for something I didn't get. I utilized my military discount of 10% off cause I'm a veteran. She remembers me but She said she put my order as just fish and fries...But I really wish my order was understood when I asked for it two times clearly..I could have received what I really wanted if the cashier heard me repeat "fish and shrimp". Maybe next time I'll try the shrimp. But this is my first experience. The fries are well seasoned the catfish is really delicious. I really wanted to try to shrimp, I'm just disappointed because of miscommunication. If the manager is seeing this... I sent you guys an application, I have experience in the restaurant business and I have my food handler's license. I'm a great listener and I understand customer service and the importance of paying attention to details. Thanks to the military, I know how to focus on my job because I know that it really affects everything else if I fail. I'm available to work full time if you guys need a replacement cashier. The cooks are doing excellent. read more

OMG Seafood - Catfish, fries, sweet bread ...i got tarter sauce and hot sauce and didn't need it. Flavor is great! WHERE IS MY SHRIMP? - Seafood Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

My husband got large gumbo and said it was good but a bit spicy and he would've liked French bread with it as opposed to saltines. Also, it was a bit pricey for the amount... I got catfish/shrimp and both were very tasty. Drinks were canned but is a new place and food was very good. No tartar sauce either read more

Called in order to go as I was in a rush. Ordered boiled crawfish and asked that they go light on the cayenne pepper. Got there in 15 minutes, order was not ready or even given to chef yet. Reiterated that I don't like my food hot and to please make sure food had flavor but not much cayenne pepper. While I was waiting for my order, there was so much cayenne pepper in the air in the restaurant, I kept coughing and coughing! Another restaurant customer was also coughing. My order didn't take long. On my way home I tried a crawfish and it was so spicy, cayenne pepper hot, my entire mouth was numb! It wasn't even tasty, just HOT! My favorite crawfish place is too far away so I had to settle for OMG but probably never again, unless I get desperate. I took the crawfish home and ran water over it for a long time to get rid of the cayenne pepper and it helped. read more

I walked in and asked if they had fresh crawfish. 3 minutes later it was in my hand. My food was seasoned well but teetering on cold. This was during the quarantine period and there were no other customers there. Very disappointed. read more

The food is great and the employees are fantastic! The crawfish are nice and spicy. Highly recommend. read more

Two stars only because the cashier was very nice. Wait for food was extremely long, spent $61 on 3 lbs of crawfish and 2 crab clusters with some sausage potatoes and corn(& what should've been shrimp). All of which was frozen for what seemed like a very long time. Not to mention they didn't even have utensils for me to crack the crab legs with. 50% of the crawfish didn't seem edible because of how black/brown the tails looked. I didn't get the shrimp that came with what I ordered but whenever I asked for it literally two minutes after it came out and it was the most rubbery, chewy shrimp I've ever eaten. Everything was so salty it was almost inedible. Very disappointed after what reviews I saw. read more

it was some of the best seafood i've ever had it was seasoned so good and it only took 15 minutes!

Best food in San Marcos honestly. Everything is good. Get extra seasoning. It's good seafood.

This New Orleans boy loved it! A definite "hole in the wall", with aesthetics that won't appeal to some. But, if you want to experience New Orleans style boiled seafood; this is it. Boiled in seasonings and soaked for 20 min minimum. No New England style "dusting" with Tony's Old Bay or brisket rub, whatever y'all ruin crawfish with lol. The potatoes, corn and fried fish was also excellent. Reminds me of Castnet back home in Nola. Only disappointment was they didn't have turkey necks, even though it was on the menu. Finally, the gumbo looks authentic but haven't tried it yet. Please don't take my criticism of Texas style "dusting". I love the steaks, Tex mex and bbq here. Dusting is simply when the seafood is boiled and due to lack of seasoning; the seafood is sprinkled with a shake like Tony's after, which is weird to New Orleanians. Anyway, I've finally found my seafood home. read more

Hands down the best boiled shrimp I've ever had. Friendly service, family recipes, and also likely the best crawfish I've ever had anywhere.

Wanted to start my weekend with some crawfish, but my go to place was already out at 5:30pm, so decided to give OMG a try. Ordered 5 lbs of crawfish and was extremely disappointed; way overcooked-could not get a full tail to pop out, and very mushy. Corn was about 3 years old and very tough. The only good thing was the potato and garlic butter (can you mess that up?). Only positive-spice level was right on-good nostril clearing spice level without being too much. When ringing my order up, cashier originally only charged me for 1 lb; I remarked "that's a great deal for 5 lbs"; she corrected the total; the original charge for the 1 lb was too much to charge for this bag of mush. If you claim to be from Louisiana, you gotta be better than this or else your Cajun Card will be revoked. read more

Only giving this place a one star because I can't do no stars. I've ordered live crawfish from OMG multiple times but today when I went to pick up the crawfish that I reserved, I was told they had sold it to someone else. Didn't offer any that they had available there, was told to come back the next day and they would have some in. I had friends come up from Corpus and been planning on this boil for a couple months. Beware if you are going to live crawfish from OMG, you might end up having a shrimp boil instead like us. Will not use this place or recommend to anyone. read more

I usually don't eat this type of food but my husband Insisted to give it try and I'm glad i did, everything was so good we even got seconds! From the food being fresh to the customer service. I highly recommend! read more

If you want New Orleans style crawfish this place has it. If you prefer New England style seafood this is not the place. The difference is the Crawfish is seasoned/soaked in the boil. New England style applies Tony's or Old bay after it's cooked. Gumbo (light roux) and Fried Fish are good too. The staff is really down to earth and friendly. read more

Crawfish was awful and had to throw half off my 2lbs away. Fried shrimp tasted fried with old oil. Place smelled and had many flies. One cook was vaping while cooking in the back. They didn't offer anything for the bad food. Don't waste your money and time at this place. read more

I would leave 0 starts if i could. Worst crawfish I've ever had in my life. Don't come here if you like fresh good crawfish come here if you want fishy and day old crawfish read more

Wow! So delicious, best seafood in San Marcos. Ate with my friend from Louisiana and he said it was most definitely authentic and tasted just like restaurants from Louisiana. The shrimp was so juicy, cooked to perfection and the flavors were just perfect. This is my new go to. Definitely a hole in the wall type of restaurant. For 2 pounds of shrimp, 2 corn, 1 sausage link and 3 potatoes for $35 plus tax. Perfect meal for 2 ! Worth every single penny. read more

After seeing a bunch of the great reviews, we were excited to try this place. However, we were super disappointed. We ordered crawfish, gumbo, and shrimp with potatoes and corn. All of it was ready in about 2 minutes and did not taste fresh at all. It seemed like it had probably been cooked a few hours before and had just been sitting. The crawfish and shrimp were mushy and cold. The potatoes and corn were cold. The gumbo did not have much flavor. read more

If there are 4.5 rating, I'd give 4.5 rating! Their food was delicious and wonderful service and willing to clean table when I ask them if they could clean it. Then they went straight to table and clean it for me. But one problem is their food is overcooking and delicious. I think they should fix time of cooking like regular. But I really like their food but it seem as they wasted lot of seafood and serve it to customer then customer had to throw off some overcook food. I hope this is business can fix it and keep up and good service. read more

My brother in law found this place online and decided we should try it. Not a fancy place, but the food is great. I ordered a fried fish fillet with 4 shrimp and a small gumbo. They bread the fIsh and the shrimp with a seasoned corn meal, it is delicious . The gumbo is also tasty, I don't like okra in my gumbo and they didn't have any in it.The sausage in the gumbo was a little spicy I loved it. My B-I-L got the boiled crawfish bag and the sausage bayou bag he loved both. My sister got the shrimp bayou bag it was delicious too. read more

Jordan was quick food was good AF and fresh!! He da goat

My first time coming here I plan on going back and trying something else other than the gumbo it literally says seafood gumbo but this is a bowl of rice with green bell peppers and 3 shrimp read more

OMG Seafood - Seafood Near Me - San Marcos, Texas

We've eaten here about six times now and every time the food is delicious. I wish they had more seating but overall great food. My boyfriend is from Louisiana and we are alwayS searching for good Cajun food always to be disappointed, that was until this place opened. Great seafood gumbo, great crawfish considering it's not yet season and great shrimp. Has the perfect spice ! read more

This place doesnt look like much, but the food was tasty. Very good shrimp boil. The fried fish, I didnt order, looked amazing. I was pleasantly surprised. I will definitely be going back. Just wish they had more seating and better parking. I can definitely see them outgrowing this place. Great food and good service! read more

If you're from a big city like Houston, and use to the places that offer top tier crawfish, shrimp, etc. Then this place is alright, better than paying 10.99/lb at Louie's. They only have one cajun seasoning they do their crawfish in, it could've been spicier and, there's no other long list of different flavors. Crawfish could be cleaned better(my biggest issue). Cool place if you're itching for crawfish and don't want to pay arm and a leg for it. read more

I don't recommend this restaurant because their food was not fresh. Fresh shrimp should be plump and bursting with flavor. These were tough on the outside and chewy as if they were yesterday 's batch or previously frozen. The crawfish, not fresh and appeared black and dirty on the bottoms. The spice level was good, giving the corn and potatoes a thumbs up but overall, they need to do better. Great customer service! read more

This place is an absolute dog shit excuse frog crawfish cooking location. I know my verbiage cannot be less professional but it's just the honest truth... They cook huge batches of crawfish maybe two or three times a day and then let said crawfish soak in seasoning and water until the order is mushy wet dog shit and then give to the customer...A truly pathetic excuse for a crawfish establishment.... read more

Always a staple food place to visit when I'm in town! Love the Cajun style and flavor! Friend shrimp is for sure my go to!

Tried on Mardi Gras. The gumbo is fantastic. Excellent roux. The praise ends there for us. We also tried the fried fish and shrimp. Nope nope nope. The fish tastes like it was dredged in sawdust. The shrimp may be marginally better, but that's after a beer. Fries are clearly frozen and tepidly re-warmed. I can recommend only the gumbo. Bon chance! read more

Tonight was our first time eating here. The food was great and the service was great and friendly. We got our food to go because they only have four tables. Literally four tables. That is the only reason I didn't give them five stars. We got our shrimp home and it was still warm. We will be going back! read more

My first time here I bought the fried fish plate. It was great. However the second time, I bought two pounds of crawfish. They weren't bad but they certainly were not the best I have ever had. If you're from Houston, like me, you'll know that places like LA fisherman are soooo good. You can see allll the seasoning on them and you literally can't stop eating them. I didn't even finish my crawfish here. They were seriously alright. I wish I would have taken a picture, but although the crawfish had a taste it was pretty basic. However, Compared to a place like LA fisherman, Lotus, or LA crawfish, its easily forgettable sadly. read more

I'm so happy I found this place! Finally somewhere comparable to back home (NOLA)! Their crawfish were a good size and good price for the area, they are so tasty and actually boiled the right way! Not with that buttery sauce and topped with a ton of seasoning like pretty much everyone else in Texas. The spice was prefect!! I love a nice lil runny nose, means they are just right lol. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because a few seemed over boiled... we will definitely be back though! read more

The food was great and came out quick. I would having giving at least 4 stars if the girls behind the counter had a clue of what was going on lol. They where nice just seemed lost. It's sooo small like 4 tables and it was busy! He's gonna need to expand and do some training of the staff and it will be great. read more

This place is amazing the staff is very friendly. The food was so good best part it's byob it does get packed quick . But food comes out quick very good date night idea . read more

I pulled up and the front door was fully open. I believe they had no A/C. That should've been a sign for me to not even eat there. I went ahead and tried it. I got a fish and shrimp plate. I added a coke and it was a can coke. When I asked for a cup with ice they didn't have any. The coke was warm that I wasn't going to enjoy a warm coke with hot food. So I walked to the gas station next door and bought a fountain drink. The food was okay. The guy at the register was nice. Only reason why I am rating this place 2 stars. Food was okay. Drink was warm. No A/C in the building. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Go figure the name... OMG! read more

The worst attitude, wouldn't serve us. Apparently they are not serving food.. only Togo. Well that would have been great to know before we ubered all the way over here and now cannot eat here... This is crazy, they need to fire the front of staff they could have at least been kind about it. Let us know before our Uber left us here read more

Food was good but oh, the place was so dirty inside and out. One man in our party, after using their restroom said that if anyone in his family needed to use the restroom they would need to walk across the street and use the one in the convenience store. And the young man who took our order showed very few signs of life, much less a hint of a personality, so I am unable to agree with the friendly staff that some others have reported. I hope the owners/managers can get their act together and clean things up because this type of business is needed here in San Marcos. read more

If there was a way to give it zero stars, that's what it would get. It was our first time there and we were eager to try several things on the menu and have a large wonderful meal. The first surprise was the server/cook/cashier wasn't communicating well (sort of whispered, shrugged shoulders, either too shy or not functioning on a level where he could speak well enough to answer simple menu questions.) He also was not groomed, had wild hair and appeared disheveled and, well...dirty. Upon having read so many good reviews, we still wanted to order. The problem was, everything we tried to order was either not on the menu, or the cashier shook his head and said "it's over 30 minutes" finally figuring out what we were able to order, part of it wasn't going to be available, but we decided to go ahead and order anyway. But then, we threw in the towel because there were no drinks available, not even water. I figured instead of throwing down $100 on a meal that we would have to eat with no beverages, we finally just left. We were surprised they didn't even have potable water and ice to serve as a beverage. How can a seafood restaurant not have potable water or ice to serve beverages? Also, if the cashier doesn't know how to keep himself clean and groomed, how can he understand food safety and cleanliness? We decided never to come here again. Hoping the owner sees this so they can reassess the safety and continued success of this once highly regarded restaurant. read more
