    Catfish poboy
    Monica P.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!!!!!

    Stumbled upon this place and discovered a great little spot to have great food and good drinks. Plenty of TVs and music was excellent. Service and food was wonderful. Great customer service! Grace is awesome!!

    Moldy cheesecake

    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.

    This place was AMAZING. Top notch Cajun food, with a homey hole in the wall feel. Very please try servers and the food was timely. Highly recommend giving this place a shot if you are passing through

    The place is out dated, staff unenthusiastic. Food is terrible. Don't stop here even if your starving.

    Time Out Sports Bar 5 - Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls - I didn't like them

    One of the two newest additions to the Time Out franchise, numero cinco in Texas City garnered my…read moreinterest with its Steak Night on Thursday. At approximately $20, it's essentially a steal. Diners get a slab of bovine that nearly takes up half the plate alongside vegetables and loaded mashed potatoes. I was very impressed how my steak came out just as I requested - medium rare - and I couldn't get over how super tender and juicy it was. Maybe it's just me, but when the meat easily melts in your mouth, you have to slowly enjoy it. The veggies were fresh and seasoned nicely and the mashed potatoes came alive flavor wise thanks to the shredded cheese and bacon bits. I just wished they were a bit bigger to match the steak portions wise. As for the establishment itself, a bit noisy, but it can be easily overlooked by the laidback vibe. I really dug the music that was blasting through the speakers. One minute, it was Luke Combs. The next, Pantera. I'd say this place can be a hangout for me when I want to catch the Astros, Texans, or Rockets.

Has 3 pool tables, 2 electronic dart boards, 2 golf games & 2 shuffle board games Only popped in for drinks. Didn't try the food. Prices were surprisingly low for top shelf liquor. Tanqueray gin & tonic, $5.50; Don Julio reposado margarita, $8.50, but the Don Julio anejo shot had more standard pricing at $17. So many sports bars no longer have the electronic (auto scoring) dart boards which I love so much. Thoroughly enjoyed playing. Machine takes cash only & costs $1.50 (6, 25 cent credits) for two players to play a game of cricket for example. I would definitely return to try their wings. They had a large variety of wing flavors. I was there during an Astros game. Pretty cool place to chill & catch a game.
