Wow - how surprised I was when I saw a take out place in my home town named after ME! Or more…read moreprecisely a place named after my Mom and Dad's famous restaurant located on Gulfway Drive in the 70s-80-90s - Monceaux's Drive In. This new knock off restaurant may have good/decent food but is no way associated with the one and only Monceaux's Drive In that people knew and loved in the heyday of Port Arthur/Groves. While I wish these new folks have used THEIR family name vice MY family name to grow their business - I do resent the fact that they are trying to fool people into believing the RJ Monceaux family has any association with this take out location. The original Monceaux's Drive In on 16th Street/Gulfway Drive) has a proud history - this place is NOT part of that history. Murphy J. Monceaux

We are back visiting & had to come to Hamilton's! We drove 36 minutes from Sabine Pass & have to…read moredrive back. It was worth every minute of driving. Michelle took excellent care of us & was the icing on the cake. I have no idea what the bad reviews are about service or the food. Somehow I missed taking a photo of my fried shrimp & onion ring "basket" which also came with hush puppies & cole slaw. I have big hands & you can see how huge the shrimp were. They have excellent batter to shrimp ratio. They were perfectly cooked unlike a horrible place near our Airbnb that we made the mistake of going to when we were exhausted & didn't feel up to the drive. Never again! My S.O. had the Cajun pasta. Unlike many places, the grilled shrimp were cooked to perfection. We will be back. I live in Houston. I can only dream of having a quality restaurant such as Hamilton's with the same price point in my area. People that live in this area are so lucky!!!

We got the link plate with brisket for the kids and the link was a bit spicy for them but super flavorful. The brisket wasn't the best but we went around closing time.

Sauce was okay. Nothing was bad don't get me wrong. Just nothing GREAT.

I wish we could have just sat and worked through their whole menu... we'll definitely be back next time to sample more. On this first go-round we had the meatball apps and boudain eggrolls. The meatballs were very tender and well seasoned. You only get theee per order but they are a nice size, not tiny. The eggrolls were delish and paired wonderfully with the mustard dipping sauce, but I thought they could use a boost of spice in the boudain - between the fried wrappers and the mustard, the nuanced flavors of the boudain itself gets a bit lost. Still excellent. For the beer we opted for No One Asked, which is described as a brown ale but drinks more like a porter and was a nice choice with all of the apps and pizza. We settled on the Meat Machine for a shareable pizza but I would have also loved to try the Gochu-Gang and the Herbed Ricotta, but they all sound creative and tasty... so many options, so little time! If you haven't been here yet - DO IT!

They were so excited to try something new as the local Pizza Inn was their go to for pies (they are 82). Needless to say they loved it and we did too. The food was good the beer as excellent and I loved the vibe. Well done Nederland. Wish it had been here when we lived here. Cheers!

The server assigned to our table was openly hostile toward me from the start and made comments and gestures that felt mocking and aggressive. She made it clear she did not want to serve me and did not return to our table until another staff member was flagged down. At no point did I feel welcomed or treated professionally. I was there with friends for a birthday celebration, and despite that, I felt uncomfortable enough that I had to leave early for my own peace of mind. No guest should feel singled out or intimidated while dining. I'm sharing this because the food itself was solid, but the service issue was serious enough that I hope management addresses it so no one else has a similar experience. To be noted: This occurred on January 8, 2026, beginning at about 6:30 PM.

Unfortunately, they managed to do just that. The "potato soup" looked more like yellow curry and had a strange texture. I bit into a chunk that felt like a soggy chicken nugget soaked in cream--absolutely inedible. I had to spit it out in my napkin. The server later claimed it was unmelted cheese, which was honestly even more concerning. The salad wasn't any better. The dressing had what I assume were homemade bacon bits, but they were rubbery, flavorless, and downright gross. We also ordered brisket queso, which never arrived. When the server finally came back--after my partner had already eaten half his meal--I let her know and asked to have the queso removed from the bill, which she did. To her credit, she also removed the soup from the bill, but the service was inattentive, and the food quality was unacceptable. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.
