Prices were very reasonable just everything tasted very heavy from the cooking oil overall a three star restaurant

This is a very cute clean restaurant. Service was fast, but the food was average and a bit over cooked. If you are looking for atmosphere, this is the place for you! read more

I have been coming from BMT to get the fried crabs for years now. But lately they have been a major disappointment! They are little & fried to mush! I'm not sure what happened but this is not how they use to be. Needless to say $34 for 6 crabs that were not good is not acceptable. I won't be back. read more

I went with a friend for lunch a few days ago. The salad included was miniscule with an unidentified orange dressing. The bread was a slice of white. The popcorn shrimp was well cooked, plentiful and tasty. The fries reminded me of those potato sticks from a can. My said his little serving of salad and the sweet tea were all of his order that was tolerable. It doesn't seem likely we will return. read more

Seaside seafood is a restaurant based in Southeast Texas that specializes in fried seafood as the name might suggest. Although, there is stiff competition in that general area, this place has been my go to recently. I usually order their salt and pepper shrimp dinner plate which comes with 6 pc shrimp, 1 bread, salad, and your choice of french fries or shrimp fried rice. Their shrimp is always so crispy and the salt and pepper may be overbearing for some, but paired with sides is perfect to me. Typically, I do get it to-go, as I normally and getting something for just myself, but the interior has more than enough space and is rather clean. The parking situation is a little tight but nothing to stress over. read more

Seaside Seafood - Salt & Pepper Shrimp Dinner - Seafood Near Me - Port Arthur, Texas

I have visited this restaurant on several occasions. The food is good but the bathrooms are always nasty! The staff are always locked in on their phones scrolling. I would recommend at least general cleaning your restrooms as customers do need a place to wash their hands if they are dining in. Yes, it's a big deal because you are in food service. Signed a patronizing customer. read more

Food was under seasoned, there was one person at the counter who it took ten minutes to reach, and though the restaurant has "seaside" displays, it doesn't do much for the music nor the tv ads on repeat. read more

Very good, plenty of food for 1 person. If I had one complaint, very little sauce options? Got ketchup and a cocktail sauce, no tartar sauce or hot sauce. Good eating anyway! read more

Came to Port Arthur for a birthday and searched on yelp and google for 30 mins for a good seafood spot. I gave Seaside Seafood a try and the food was very good. I ordered the jumbo popcorn shrimp with fried rice and no salad, based from pictures posted on a review. The shrimps were a large mixture of sizes. Food was hot and fresh. I am a picky eater and I give this spot 5 stars. I will visit again when I am Port Arthur. read more

Seaside Seafood - Jumbo Popcorn Shrimp with fried rice. - Seafood Near Me - Port Arthur, Texas

A coworker recommended this place to me as one of the best seafood spots in Port Arthur. It wasn't bad. Fish/Shrimp dinners - loved the crunch of the breading. It was a little salty for me, but very flavorful! Fish was a little dry. Enjoyed the tarter sauce. I chose rice to accompany and there was nothing special about it. Came with a small side salad with way too much dressing, but I finished it lol. Boiled shrimp - Too salty for me and overcooked. Had a hard time getting the shell off. Good size shrimp though. Boiled potatoes - these were actually my favorite. Cooked perfectly. Would I go back? Eh, probably so. read more

Great $2 Tacos for taco Tuesday. Loved it! Great flavor & fast friendly service. I ordered thinking they would be tiny like street tacos but pleasantly surprised these are full size and delicious! Exactly as I ordered, ready in 10 min and $6.50 for lunch. Can't beat it! Will be back with the fam! read more

Seaside Seafood - 2 fried shrimp tacos, 1 fried fish - Seafood Near Me - Port Arthur, Texas

So far so good. I got the 3 shrimp and 1 fish dinner grilled w/ rice and a salad. Had good flavor, food came out hot . The service was prompt. Told me how long it would take to get my food. (15mins) The restaurant was clean and the ambiance was set with the natural lighting, TV screens playing Sports on one and music on the other. I would come back and try again. Thanks!! read more

They were good. Catfish was fried and pop corn shrimp. The sauce was top notch. A little salad and a piece of bread. Most importantly the taste and texture. Very good read more

The review by Robert M is uninformed as bbq crabs are prepared by deep frying. Yelp should delete his review. Seaside's crabs are excellent and comparable to Sartins read more

Seaside Seafood - BBQ Crab - Seafood Near Me - Port Arthur, Texas

Good variety of seafood dishes. Grilled and fried shrimp are great. Quick service and friendly staff

Good seafood but they are nudged out by another local place I prefer. I ordered the 4 piece grilled catfish with fries and the calamari. 5 pieces were provide; thank you. Grilled catfish was overcooked by a minute or so resulting in a non-flaky "grill" consistency that resulted in a firm flesh with tough edges. Some people may prefer this, but it doesn't fit my "grill" expectations. It's almost like frying without dredge and batteries. The fries were inedible. They were soggy and dark. Seems that they may have cooked them inside of old oil that was under temperature. Easy fix. Old oil has burnt flavors. Under temperature oil results from incorrect settings, dirty fryer, or possibly frying too many things in succession without letting temperature raising back in time. Side comment. The "salad" provided was barely a 1/4 cup of iceberg lettuce soaked in dressing. The nice save for this order was the Calamari. I would order it again. They are one of the few places in the area which serve it. Good breading/batter, good snap bite texture for them, lightly salted, and the dipping sauce was spot on spicy with a little savory. Overall, the prices are a little higher than other local locations that serve identical meals. Their varied menu and new location do connect with many and I wish them success as they go forward and make small corrections to a couple of missed; marks in my opinion. read more

New hidden gem on Jimmy Johnson next to Full Fx. If you love BBQ crabs like I do then this is a must try! They're finger lickin good and PLEASE eat the batter! It's the best part! They also sell baby crabs. Now this is new to me. You eat them whole instead of picking out the meat like the regular blue crabs. It comes in 3 flavors: lemon pepper, cajun & salted pepper. I got the cajun. All I can say about it is it's very interesting! I'd say it's beer food. They have specials throughout the week. Monday is popcorn shrimp with your choice of fries or fried rice for $5.99. For you taco lovers, they have fried/grilled shrimp/fish tacos for $2 each on Tuesday's. Wednesday's special is shrimp, fish or oyster poboy for 5.99, side not included. Today's special (Thursday) is a cheeseburger with your choice of fries or fried rice for $5.99. The meat patty is not dry and seasoned well enough for me. If you like fried pork chops then Friday is your day! You get 2 fried pork chops with your choice of fries or fried rice for $7.29. Everything I've tried so far has been good. I've ordered to go only but they do offer dine-in as well. You can call in your order and pick up at the drive through window to save yourself a few extra steps. No complaints about customer service or wait time. They are open Monday-Saturday. Give them a try if you haven't already! read more
