Dine Out on a Budget at These 24 Houston Restaurants

"Characterized by its boat-shaped, nautical-themed exterior, this local seafood chain has been an institution for Houstonians seeking casual seafood fare. With four locations, the restaurant has a distinct Cajun influence and is witnessed through its plates of gumbo, po’boys, and crawfish tails. Order any of its family dinners, including its jumbo fried shrimp or fried gulf oysters, or go a lighter route and grab the broiled platter with shrimp kabobs and your choice of fish. The sizable entrees come with a good helping of fries or rice, plus a selection of sauces." - Sean Hekmat, Megha McSwain, Eater Staff
