    From the outside in, looks amazing. Second time but at another location almost before Hurricane Harvey on Cypresswood and Hwy-249. And I ordered crawfish during crawfish season only then, so it was spicy and seasoned. Today food was bland. Fried mushroom was not seasoned, seasoned rice wasn't seasoned at all, and patty melt patty was not flavorful at all. Seems foods on the menu needs sauces, and extra spices to taste good here. The only thing not needing sauces or extra seasoning was the blackened catfish and the fried jalapeños we ordered. Oreo milkshake was a good sweet but too thick, needed to stir enough to slurp with straw. Food here is medium priced, but I'm into my tastebuds if I'm gonna pay for medium priced food. Had to remove the patty melt off order cause burger patty had no taste. Who knows, maybe the cooks here or the food is served like that at all locations? Not sure if I will give here another try soon. Literally, fries were seasoned in some areas but not all, and mushrooms tasted battered not seasoned. Had better mushrooms at other places. Felt like there's no heart in this kitchen here tonight!

    We were craving catfish and salad! So we landed here late Saturday night. Literally 40 minutes prior to closing. Order at the counter and pay afterwards. Honor system. Our cashier was new and being trained (by the shift manager we assumed). But the cashier did not skip a beat while taking our order. He asked us numerous times if we had any questions pertaining to our order while we did not. We both ordered the small fried catfish basket. Good value at $10 each came with 4 catfish strips and coleslaw. I opted for the Cesar salad as my side which was super sized! Large enough to share to which I did so! Karen requested the street corn. Karen said the street corn was fantastic. I looked across and noticed a couple eating fried onion rings ($2.49). And yes I placed an order with our server Leisa. Leisa was Totally amazing, by the way. The onion rings were served with creamy homemade ranch dressing. So So good! I would return for both catfish and onion rings! Added a dash of chalula hot sauce to the ranch and ketchup kicked up style. The entire check was $27.00 great value. Amazing service too! Leisa made us 2 take out lemonades. Requested No ice since the outside temperatures were less than cozy! I must mention that Karen and I were leisurely eating and talking. But as I said earlier the place was about to close. But not once did we feel rushed. We had to ask for our check. So much appreciated management!!! But we did not want to stay longer than necessary. Thank you for a great dinner!

    (From September 2021) I noticed this chain of icehouses are scattered around parts of Harris/Montgomery county. This caught my eye as I drive past this place whenever heading to Spring. Decided to order to go from here for football Sunday and see what it's about. Sadly they don't have bone-in traditional wings available for order. Why!? I think this is the first ice house that didn't serve wings from what I can tell. Decided on the fried catfish and shrimp meal and an order of Buffalo nuggets (or boneless wings as the menu says). The meal came with two sides (max and cheese and side of veggies). The good: catfish and shrimp meal was a good portion; catfish was crispy. Also loved the veggies. The nuggets were tender. The bad: the shrimp was a bit chewy. Mac and cheese had almost no flavor and was dry. Probably would've been better off with another side. I may try their other items when I'm back in the area. And hopefully they'll have traditional wings for order as every icehouse should!

    "Blackened " chicken was extremely dry, tough and almost hard as a rock.  Couldn't even eat it.

    Ordered Willie's for delivery and was extremely disappointed. The "blackened" chicken was so dry and tough...almost hard... it was not consumable. The macaroni has absolutely no flavor at all and the queso had bits of something black burnt pieces in it...not sure exactly but kind of like when something gets burnt in a pan and sticks to the sides. The other items were ok (loaded baked potato, ribs and street corn) but those other items were beyond bad.

While walking in we were greeted today. Employees seemed highly concerned as they were all discussing they have not been paid and the owner was dodging them. Which is unfair to work for free. We ordered the #1 seafood platter and a fish plate. I also ordered extra corn and eggs but did not receive the extra items that were paid for. The foil pan was full of a lot of butter and oil! It was a family reunion of potatoes and not enough seafood in the platter. Very low on the shrimp! It's supposed to come with 20 but it wasn't. We chose Garlic Jalapeño for the seasoning but we did not taste any of it on the food. It was like butter mixed with salt, pepper, and sugar. The butter as well with a sprinkle of garlic seasoning. For the price and size of the pan the quality should be way better. The environment of the restaurant is ok. It's kind of dark on the inside you would think it's closed. I think opening the windows and taking care of employees can do the job. Will I be retuning? To be honest not sure.

It's easy to understand why people love it so much. In a sea of sameness with so many restaurants around Houston, Sea and Lemon stands out as a bit different. Especially when you consider how many Mexican restaurants there are in the region. Pappasito's it is not. We started off with the shrimp queso fundido, and this was really enjoyable, it was just hard to eat with the small chips. And the small chips were super tasty by the way, but it was nearly impossible to properly scoop a shrimp onto one of those things. 4-stars. I am a big fan of tomato based ceviche and not big on citrus ceviche. I asked our server if any were purely tomato based, but she said all of them are a combination. I opted for the "dual catch" and added octopus. It hit the spot, but I still prefer what can be found at Ceviche Ria. That being said, this was still enjoyable. 4-stars. We ordered a carne asada quesadilla for our son, mostly because we wanted to try it ourselves. And let me tell you, it was perfect. I would have been happy if this was the only thing I ate here. 5-stars. And then we went taco crazy. I'll start with the lower tier and work my way up: Zarandeado Fish Taco: Perfectly fine but a bit bland. I would not need to order again. 3.5-stars. Fish Al Pastor Taco: Ditto to above, but the red sauce it was served with took it up a notch. 4-stars. Zarandeado Shrimp Taco: Loved it. The smokiness. The flavor. I could eat this every day and not get tired of it. 5-stars. Pacific Shrimp Taco: Neck and neck with the zarandeado shrimp and the quesadilla for my favorite item of the meal. This was messy (sorry our table probably took 10 minutes to clean when we left), but every bite was great. It was almost like a hybrid of an omelet and a taco the way the onions and peppers were mixed in. We had an awesome server too. Her name escapes me but she was a really pleasant girl in her 20's. Again, sorry for the mess we left. Sharing overstuffed tacos is no easy task! We live about 30 minutes away, but I will happily be back in the future!

I love a good kick, and this batch had just the right amount of heat--enough to make my taste buds dance but not set my mouth on fire. Service was straightforward, and I only had to wait about 10 minutes, which was well worth it. Plus, they're running a solid deal: 2 lbs for $19--a steal for crawfish this good. Since this is just the beginning of my crawfish escapades, I'll say this: Brothers Seafood set the bar high. If you're a crawfish lover, put this place on your list ASAP!
