    Walking in, you can tell its going to be a great time. Loved how the place was decorated. Curious…read moreabout Mexican Cajun combo we had to try it! I loved the fried green tomatoes with a sauce that almost tasted like chuy's ranch, but it came with a creamy bacon that was good and reminded me of potato soup. My "top shelf" margarita was only $2 more but came with an extra shot. The boudin balls were amazing flavor, nice & moist cooked perfectly. I ordered the fish basket with 5 pieces of fish and bought enough home to have it for lunch out of the air fryer the next day. Husband had the ahi tuna & said it was wonderful flavor. We arrived hungry & left happy with enough lunch for the next day. Great find and will eat again! Joy, was our awesome server to be sure to request her for the best service you could ask for!

    Disappointing experience. This restaurant falls short in…read moreboth of the cuisines it advertises--Tex-Mex and Cajun. You know there's a problem when you're charged for chips and salsa. A true Tex-Mex restaurant typically serves complimentary chips and salsa, but that wasn't the case here. The nachos were simply a pile of chips covered with canned nacho cheese sauce instead of individually layered chips topped with beans, cheese, and jalapeños. Honestly, the food at Pancho's was better, which says a lot about the level of quality here. The Cajun dishes were somewhat better, but they still didn't compare to restaurants like Pappadeaux or Landry's. They likely stay busy because they're the only option in the Bolivar Peninsula/Crystal Beach area. The atmosphere and service were the highlights of the visit. Unfortunately, the overpriced menu resulted in a hefty bill that left us feeling underwhelmed and unsatisfied. There's plenty of room for improvement, and I hope the owners from Beaumont make some upgrades to better match the quality their menu promises.

    More of a low-key super casual place that is pretty popular when the crawfish come out....true to…read morepopular opinion the mud bugs here are fantastic! Great flavor in the boil and not too much nitro dusting. Great deal at $30 for 5 lbs. My wife and I each ordered one. Along with a burger for my kids tab came to $85 which I think is reasonable as including all soft drinks and tip it came to $100 total. This included the two crawfish place as well as the cheeseburger my daughter had (this one doesn't like crawfish). Place is packed on weekend evenings, but a great place to sneak into during the early afternoon. If we are back on the peninsula we are definitely coming here if it's crawfish season. Staff super nice and she filled all of our glasses multiple times between tea, water, soda and was great about clearing the table promptly as well. Worth a stop!

What's just ok: The flavor of the fajita beef and chicken. As in, they don't have much. If you like grilled meat without any seasoning, then it is perfect for you. We found it very bland. Would we go back? Maybe but it's definitely not the best food option around. But I might go back if I knew the evening's entertainment would be taking the stage again. He was GREAT.

    Nice surprise. After finding out that another Hispanic owned taco truck was closed (ICE raid?…read moreSelf-deported?) I went to Hughstons after reading Yelp reviews. I ordered 4 breakfast tacos, bacon, egg and cheese on flour. Most tacos You get Need heavy seasoning After you have picked them up but these All we're spot on with saltiness. The salsa was tomato forward which I like on a bt. The women inside who helped me with my TOGO order were polite and quick. The place is definitely filled with locals who like to fish early in the morning. The interior was very nice, plenty of seating in large tables. You cannot go wrong as I was looking at other plates coming out and everything was absolutely delicious. I was looking over their lunch and dinner menu In the thought of a blackened redfish po-boy for $16 sounded freaking delicious.

    Nice home cooking restaurant! Honestly everything is 5 stars except operations logistics which I…read morethink they will sort out after they e been open a little longer. We arrived at 11:30 and were told it would be an hour wait for food due to a backlog of call in orders. They had 2 tables of 4 each inside - so call ins were overwhelming them. They ended up closing to walk ins not long after we got there so they could catch up. That was a good decision. Like I said, I think sometimes it takes a bit of time running a restaurant to get staffing and kitchen capacity balanced out. Anyway, food was excellent. Most of our table did breakfast (idk what the sausage brand is but everyone raved about it) and my SIL both ordered a BLT and split a side order of sweet potato fries. Everything was delicious. Wait staff was excellent and working hard. We'd definitely come back for breakfast all day!

Unfortunately they didn't have it and I had to settle. Sweltering hot Saturday at 4pm. Party of 2. We chose a table outside with a view of the water. Unfortunately it also allowed the biting flies to torture the poor service dog that was with us. And also it was hot. Sooo hot! We placed our orders for the shrimp basket and shrimp tacos. I requested fries but received grilled. Still tasty. And last time I was automatically served sweet potato fries (I fed the seagulls) but this time I was given a choice of fries. I chose regular fries. There were NO seagulls this time to feed my leftovers to. (Sad face) So we arrived at 4pm Drinks delivered at 4:20 Meals at 4:30 The LSU game was on so we were not in a rush. My only complaints were that the restroom wasn't tidy. Service is kinda slow. Even the covered room is open air (so HOT!) The selection of Ts and tanks had changed and I missed the seagulls. lol
