Overall I give 3.5 stars. Here's why: Good customer service. Our gal was super friendly and attentive. I also loved the ambiance of the restaurant. There were several sections where people could feel comfortable. (Little bar area, family seating area and a back room too. See pics.) The food was tasty and displayed nicely on the plates. (See pics). What I found a bit off putting was the extra charges for things like extra sauces. And the prices were above average for the atmosphere. Would we go back? Possibly. read more

This place is hole-in-the-wall that has been around for many years. Use to be decent price for the area. The price for the food & watered down drinks is no longer reasonable. read more

Fantastic food ! I like the relaxed atmosphere & specialty drinks are WOW- very tasty & strong. They have a pool table & coin game machines. I've been there lots of times and never disappointed. read more

I give this place a 5 star rating for 3 reasons. The food is always delicious. The service is friendly. The cost is fitting for what you are ordering. This is a hole in the wall (could use some work on the restrooms) that turns into a lounge at night. It looks like your typical dive bar. The last time I ordered the redfish and this time I ordered the catfish poboy. Perfectly fried and the bread does not get soggy. We also ordered the crab balls and oh my goodness they were heaven. I would highly recommend eating here if you are in the area. read more

I'm a strong advocate of hole-in-the-wall restaurants. The Fish Place, however, isn't one of those places I'd tell anyone who would listen to check out. It's not the service. The waitress did her job. It's not the venue, which is a VFW hall, a honky tonk, and your uncle's rumpus room rolled into one. If you ask me, that's really cool. It's not the environment. Quintessential small town Texas through and through. My major disappointment? The grilled pork chop platter with red beans and rice. I expected the dish to be like how it's prepared in Cajun Country to the East, but I was sadly mistaken. The pork chop could've used some seasoning, and the red beans and rice was equally devoid of flavor. Not even hot sauce could provide some saving grace. Is it possible for me to return, try something new, and update this review with a more positive spin? Only time will tell. read more

This seems to be a poopin' local watering hole. Someone recommended their food and drinks. I arrived here one day after the freak-weather in Texas with my five year old for dinner. I can only imagine what my face looked like upon opening the door. This is like a eatery/hole in the wall bar in the daytime, and a night club in the evening. All of the furniture and decor are old/used. Lots of tears in the seating. There seems to be three different bar spaces. No running water at the time (which should have been my cue to leave.) The waitress was very kind but she was having to wear many hats as they were understaffed. The food was aight- everything was fried. I wouldn't come back unless I was stopping on my way to party in Galveston for a pregame cocktail. read more

The food here was amazing, and the portions were big (which I like). The crab was seasoned really well & the baked potato was awesome. They make their own Bloody Mary mix and it was so good. I really enjoyed the thinner roux in the gumbo. All in all the food and drinks were on point the service was a slow it seems like they need more servers on the floor. But other than that every was good. read more

With a huge menu, it's hard to decide what to eat here, but one you do decide you can count on the food being hot and fresh. And good. Remember, this isn't a fancy schmancy place--it's meant to be a fast food fish joint. And for that consideration, it's a great place to eat. We ordered a variety of dishes and tried both grilled and fried foods. The catfish is a little bland but fried, it tastes pretty good. The etouffe was tasty and full of flavor. The blackened redfish was really good. My daughter loves the fried okra and the crab balls. I love the boudin balls. We have ordered takout and delivery through door dash and the food is always packaged nicely and in quality containers that we keep afterward for a few uses. We highly recommend takeout if you aren't wanting to sit in the restaurant. For a hole in the wall fish place, this Fish Place is a great option when your whole family wants to eat and you don't know where to go because they have fish and shrimp and fried and grilled and chopped steak and hamburgers and all sorts of non-fish things to choose from too. I highly recommend trying them. To each their own, but I think you'll like it well enough to go back again like we have several times. The crab balls really alone are worth it. read more

Saw a lot of cars, heard music playing , decided to stop. Bartender was not a real bartender. I ordered a rum punch. She poured a half ounce of coconut rum in a 24 oz cup that she then filled with ice, cola, and tonic water. My rum punch was brown in color and tasted horrible. I didn't make a fuss. The line was long as the bartender was taking orders from what I deduct were her favorites as they cut the line and just shouted out their orders and she complied. Never mind the people who are patiently waiting in line. The owner right behind her not doing a thing about this. I ordered boiled shrimp. Thinking who can mess up boiled shrimp. Well they can. It took forever and it smelled and tasted like old mop water. I can go on about the restrooms, but if you are reading this, you can just imagine. This place needs to be shut down permanently. Absolutely disgusting. read more

After a long day of working on my car, this was a nice little place to chill. Once entering the door, your seating selection is open. They have two bars, a couple of tables, a few booths, dance floor and even an arcade for the gamers. I sat at the bar to get better viewing of the whole place. I didn't plan on eating much til I seen the menu and the steak was calling my name!!!! For 16.99 my steak dinner came with a salad, loaded baked potato, grilled shrimp, and a buttery large piece of toast. Of course I had a to-go box.. And my waiter was on point. Before I could ask, she already kinda new what I wanted. She even let me taste test the margaritas. (Gator bite is the biz) and this was a Thursday night. Try it out if your ever in the area and order one of those really good margaritas!!!!!! read more

Food poisoning. I decided to give this place a try; it always smells good when I drive by. I ordered the blackened chicken and blackened shrimp with a side of linguini with cream sauce and vegetables. I also ordered cheesecake. The cheesecake had mold on it; I suppose that should have been an indicator to NOT eat the food...but the food looked fine. Well, it wasn't fine. Now I'm writhing in pain and I've spent hours in the bathroom. I will not eat here again. read more

The service was okay. I think we had a new waitress she forgot things and a young man came by every once and a while to check on us. The food was frozen seafood. What a shame, since we live here on the coast. The chips and salsa was un-eatable. I am giving a 2 for the backed potato and salad and the clean restaurant. I was really hoping this was going to be our go to seafood place. Raise the price if need be and serve fresh food. read more

Ordered a shrimp sandwich and the shrimp were hard couldn't even chew them and they were freezer burn. won't go there Shaun.

Visited the Fish Place today after church. When we entered, we were directed to seat ourselves, and my fiance & I chose a booth. No other customers were in the place, but it was early (before noon). TVs were tuned to sports channels (i.e., ESPN) & were playing softly or were muted. Our server arrived almost immediately, welcomed us, took our drink orders (Arnold Palmer & sweet tea) & brought chips & salsa. The chips didn't taste very fresh, but the salsa was good--not too hot but had a slight "bite". After we studied the menu, I ordered the fried catfish & shrimp platter (5 catfish fillets, 5 shrimp, corn on the cob & red beans & rice), & my fiance ordered the seafood platter. Each came with 2 sides & toasted bread. Our platters arrived in about 5 minutes...really quickly and very hot! Shrimp was fried really hard (see pic) but didn't have any taste. The fried catfish was well seasoned. I noticed that the fish was seasoned before it was coated in batter, which made for a great taste. My fiance ate everything on his plate (fried fish, oysters, shrimp, crab ball, fried jalapeno, fried okra, 3 huge hush puppies). I couldn't finish mine so I ordered a to-go box. Service was attentive but not obtrusive. Our meal wasn't anything to write home about, but it definitely was filling. read more

If you wanna get bland food, that is over priced and a minute amount, with a bullet in ya ass for dessert, then this is the place. Several shoot outs, and fights weekly. They don't have enough waitresses, and the people that are here a dangerous, loud, and ghetto. Save ya money and your life... read more

The fish was cold,sticky,and there was a white substance on the top and it wasn't tarter sauce. When I asked for sauce they gave me hot sauce not knowing I had a allergy to it. I also ordered pasta and when i got it, it came cold and stiff as if it wasn't cooked. I was so sad when I found a tiny fish inside of my food. I will never be coming back to this hell hole. (Happens 7 weeks ago) read more

I ate here and tried the platter. Every thing was fried. Stay away from the fried foods. I don't know how the grilled or boiled foods are but I bet they are definitely better than the fried foods read more

Service with a smile! Food was delicious, I had the grilled red fish and the biggest baked potato I have ever seen. Great price for as much food you get, lunch special! The ladies working there are super helpful and so nice. I will be back. Nice clean place. read more

Some friends and I came from out of town and ordered on Uber eats from this restaurant. The wait was long like 60 mins no big deal my friends got their order and i ordered for my friend and her daughter when the Uber driver came I only got 1 of the 3 items I ordered I tried to flag down the Uber driver couldn't get a hold of him so I call to the restaurant mind you I'm pissed I just spent 50 something dollars and paid for the delivery that's the point of Uber eats right? I was tired I don't drive well at night I don't live in this area and it was like 20 mins away so i call and some guy answers I told him I just ordered and I didn't receive the whole order rudely he replies "what did you order" at this point I'm like Wtf I tell him can he look up the order by my name he is still very rude about the whole ordeal so unprofessional I then ask to speak with the manager he says he is I'm like really he told me to not cuss at him I told him I was Coming to the restaurant he mentions something about cops being there lol so I got my friend on the phone with him I was more mad at the fact of how he handled this. Also he forgot to give the food that was missing to the Uber driver it wasn't the drivers fault he mentioned that as well so yes I was pissed and cussing I have every right to but as a owner or manager you have no right to get rude back that's not how customer service works so after he gets off the phone with my friend she tells me he was going to offer us free shit at that point I don't care it wasn't my concern at all he also tells her to make sure I don't go with her because I was rude lol oh yes I went with her because she was intoxicated so I had to drive when we got there the security depends I put on a mask with the covid stuff and yes I understand that but the whole reason besides me not knowing the area and it being far was so I could avoid contact with people I went got the food and he offers deserts or a drink I declined and told him it wasn't about getting free anything It's about how he as a manager owner of an establishment handled the whole situation. I highly suggest no one orders from here this asshole could at least gave me a refund and he never apologized either that's the first thing he should of did instead of arguing with me and getting mad and defensive back that's not how you handle customers it was his mistake and I had to drive out of my way with nothing but to be offered free desserts the food was nasty and salty wasn't even worth the money I spent which I am getting refunded by my bank. It was a horrible experience and I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else read more

how do I do it as less than a 1? I happily went in and was greeted nicely and invited to "sit anywhere and I'll be right with you" .... 5 minutes later and no one even brought me a menu and I happily left. I don't know if the food is good or bad or indifferent but the lack of any service benefitted me because I got to go to a place nearby that had the stellar service AND the stellar food. read more

This is definitely the place to be on a Friday night when you want to enjoy some good food and live DJ. You can also enjoy yourself here any day of the week. The atmosphere is family friendly and the prices are reasonable. The full bar has something for everybody's taste buds and my favorite is the coronarita. Stop by and check it out for yourself. read more

This place sucks!!! Ordered the pop corn shrimp it wasn't done! Two sides cole slaw nasty is was brown and tasted like old fish!!!! Fries were under cooked so nasty!!!!! Took plate back and got my money! Don't go here they are over priced the crab legs you can get in kemah way cheaper cooked and better..place is gross and run down. Female works there are so rude and ghetto!!! read more

First of all, the place looks like The Boar's Nest from The Dukes of Hazzard TV show. Plus the neighborhood looks a little sketchy. I was not expecting much from this place. When we walked inside I really couldn't tell if the place was a restaurant, a bar, a dance club, a fish market, or some guy's man cave. It seemed kind of scattered. We decided to give it a shot so we ordered a variety of fish dishes. Listen, I'm not trying to be racist but everyone we saw working there was black so I was expecting a "soul food" experience. Brother, if that is what soul food tastes like then sign me up! We swapped food around the table and every dish was amazing. Fresh and well seasoned. If you're ever in this part of Texas, stop by and get you a good dose of soul. read more

If you live in La Marque it's worth going across the tracks for. I was a bit suspicious because I thought it was more of a bar. However we ate there the other night and the food was great! It came out correct and warm. The flavor was good also! read more

Good food and friendly environment. Don't let the outside appearance fool you, some of the best food I have ever had was in a small off the road venue. The drinks were a a bit to pricey. A must try if you are passing through. read more

If you ever want to go some where to chill by yourself, couple wise or just as friends in the area, this is the place to try. They have good food, good music and a variety of drinks. Thursday evenings are typically packed and has a club feel as there is a DJ on site. If you love to listen and dance to Hip Hop and R&B you'll likely enjoy yourself on a weekend night here. Good vibes only! :) read more

The food was so BLAND! SMH! looks like the fried it twice. the batter was not fresh. The fish was limp. The folks that serve us were very nice. But I will never eat here again. We ordered Shrimp and Catfish. read more

Crawfish Etouffee is incredible, will definitely be going back to try other dishes!!!

Excellent food. It's a hole in the wall kind of place and looks somewhat shady from the outside. You won't be disappointed!!!

Crawfish is extremely too HOT & no tasting of you get what I mean. It's like they poured hot sauce on top instead of boiling them in seasoning... I literally had to rinse them off with cool water. I asked for a refund & they refused. But overall drink are good!!! read more

This place is not fancy but some locals swear by it. I found the batter for the fish, shrimp and mushrooms bland without seasoning. (Yes all the same batter so if you have a seafood allergy, beware!) I hear the burgers are amazing. The French fries were just okay. I'm a bit of a fried potato snob but our other guests were okay with everything. The portion size is plentiful. We were a table of 8 and it literally took an hour to get food with a total of only another 8 people in the joint. Not sure what the issue was. We waited patiently and had 2 rounds of adult beverages. The wait staff was friendly enough but not at all that deep southern charm one would expect in Texas. I'm being nice by not giving it "dive" status out of the respect for the locals who dig this joint. Next time, if there is one, we will try the burgers. Not a kid kind of joint as there are the bar goers getting their daily drink on! read more

This is worst place ever!!!!! Decided to give it a try driving thru worst mistake. The waitress was very friendly and sweet but the food was terrible. The shrimp had a faul smell hubby said that shrimp is no good I said your full of it. I put one in my mouth had to spit it out it was bombed. That was it never ever again. I informed of my complaint they were not very happy but they listened and I wasn't charged. read more

Sad to say this is a 1 star tonight at best!! We came in early but we're forgotten and had to get a manager attention to get service. We were not served until almost 40 min after arriving and we were forgotten about until one of our party went up to the bar for service. We were served food with itt utensils and it condiments and the drinks were super slow to come... so slow that by the time they came we were charged full price which I have to problem with had we not arrived an hour before the end of happy hour. What a disappointment especially since we frequent here so often. Although the girl did mention several times that she was new and didn't know very much it still not okay for service and the damn restaurant was empty so again 1 star at it best... get new staff or train better!! Maybe rethinking this huge party we're planning here based on lack of service!! 2 thumbs down. read more

Had the all-you-can-eat catfish. It was my first time to eat there in 11 years. Most places that have all-you-can-eat catfish fry a bunch of it and it sits under a heat lamp. Not this place. The fish was prepared fresh, and we were told that if we wanted more to let them know before we were out so they could make more. The fish was cooked perfect-- nice and firm but still juicy. The place is definitely a but dive-y, in an old building from the 50's, but it is definitely worth it! read more
