I've been a longtime customer of Baytown Seafood in Victoria and have always enjoyed the food,…read morewhich makes this experience especially disappointing. I placed an online order for pickup for my family--over $90 for just me, my wife, and our toddler. I received a text message saying the order was ready, so I went inside to grab it. The restaurant was very busy with the dinner rush, and no one was at the front counter. I clearly saw my bag sitting there with my name on the receipt--and it was the only order on the counter--so I took it and headed out. As I was walking to my vehicle, a woman ran after me yelling, "Hey, stop." I stopped, and she asked if the order was mine. I told her yes and that my name was on the receipt. After that, her tone changed and became very sarcastic. She told me, "Next time I would appreciate you letting someone know you're picking up your order," in a way that felt very condescending. I replied that it had my name on it and that I wouldn't take anything else. As I walked away, she muttered something along the lines of "that was rude" or "you're rude." What really bothered me is that she said she was trying to verify the order--but never actually did. She didn't ask for a receipt, ID, or name. The whole interaction felt unnecessary and unprofessional. Once I got home, I called the restaurant to address what happened. I was told the woman's name was Angela--and that she is a manager--which honestly shocked me. I then asked the person I was speaking with to put me on the phone with her directly. When I spoke with Angela, I explained that I was picking up my own order--not someone else's--and she responded, "How am I supposed to know that?" I told her again that the order was mine, that I had paid for it, and that I was not a delivery driver. In a very condescending tone, she repeated, "Well how am I supposed to know that? I followed protocol. I did nothing wrong." Every time I tried to respond, she cut me off by saying, "I'm talking, I'm talking," in a way that felt like she was speaking to a child rather than a paying customer. If that's the case, then it goes both ways. I was a paying customer who had just spent a lot of money on dinner for my family. I saw my order clearly labeled with my name, knew it had already been paid for, and picked it up so I wouldn't have to wait any longer than necessary. How am I supposed to know about some "protocol" that customers are never informed of? I completely understand wanting to make sure orders go to the correct customer, but the way this was handled--especially by a manager--was unacceptable. Talking down to customers, refusing to listen, and placing all the blame on the customer is not good service. I've loved Baytown Seafood for years, but after this experience, I likely won't be returning and will be taking my business elsewhere.

Staff is friendly enough, property is pretty old, but it's as clean as something roughly 40 years…read moreold in a small town is gonna get. Menu has a variety of fried, blackened and Cajun favorites. This is not a place to order a salad, you know that and know that but just in case you don't know. All salads are served with crunchy water (iceberg) and whatever dressing that is available at Walmart. Food is good here although you will get your dietary sodium needs for the next few days. So don't tell your doctor. It's worth an occasional drop in though when you have a hankering.

First time to try place. Only unsweetened tea. Have to add artificial sweetener. Really in Texas?…read moreAsked for Dr Pepper instead. Freaked me out when they handed us can soda. Wow very classy. Prices lot higher than menu on this website. Stonies $28 instead of $17. Snow crab $32 just to let you know. Place looks nice. Service not very friendly. Cajun seasoning is like a sweet barbecue sauce. Never had anything like it. Wife didn't like it either. Never come back again.

Call first...they are open until they sell out. If you want a more detailed version, keep going. ;-) On our way home from fishing at the coast, we stopped for a late lunch with my daddy. We saw this place last time we were in town, and being the crawfish lovers we are, wanted to try it. Needless to say we were super happy they were open today. Four of us showed up with an ice chest (it's BYOB), ready to roll up our sleeves. They only have outside seating on white plastic picnic tables. Most tables are under a large canopy, but some are in the sun. We were lucky to get under the tent AND it was a pleasant day. You go up to the window and order, sit down and they bring your food. We got a shrimp boil (served in a white clamshell) and six pounds of crawfish (served in double plastic bags inside a big paper bag) . They provide you with boxes for the shells, plenty of paper towels and wet wipes. We loved the set up, people were friendly, great vibe of folks...but we were most concerned with crawfish. We love crawfish, have our own boils, and we're picky. There are only a handful of places we really like in the Austin area, so I was admittedly a little skeptical. Holy mud bugs...the FLAVOR!! After a few bites, we picked up on what was a tad different than our normal crawfish...mustard. Yup...mustard! Don't freak! It was subtle, played well with all the other flavors and we LOVED it. So much we ordered three more pounds AND we're playing with our recipe to incorporate it. They don't offer different spice levels, but no need...the flavor was absolutely perfect with just the right amount of kick. We ordered with potatoes, corn and sausage...worth the extra $. Sausage was VERY good! We're already planning on making it back to Victoria before the end of crawfish season. I typed this on our way back to Austin and the amount of time we've spent talking about what we ate is a great indication of how much we loved it! So go... suck some heads and pinch some tails. You'll be happy.

The snapper and…read moreshrimp combo was delicious--perfectly seasoned fried snapper and shrimp with fresh-cut french fries that were actually crispy (you know how rare that is). Bonus points for the complimentary cocktail and tartar sauce that hit just right without being too heavy. Not quite a five-star "last meal on earth" situation, but definitely a solid four stars and worth loosening your belt for. If you're craving seafood that feels fresh without fuss, this spot will make your day.
