Family from Beaumont and a local friend came to meet me for a late lunch for my (almost) 60th BD; I live in Galveston.
They came with party supplies (balloons galore) and a big BD Great American chocolate cookie...yes!!
We had appetizers: fried crab legs, pickles and cheese sticks along w/seafood nachos
(All excellent)
Me and my friend shared the big fish bowl drink, the "shark shack" ($31) it had rum/pineapple in it...it was tasty but not enough alcohol for that size drink and that price.
Sam (female) was our server...and Lisa was the manager who had talked w/my mom several times prior to our arriving (deets about my BD surprise) both were awesome (we gave them some of my BD sweets)
They had a singer playing guitar...we bought him a beer! (We do right by waitstaff and local artist)
Entrees: grilled fish, gumbo, spicy boiled shrimp, fried shrimp, fish, onion rings, and hush puppies. Also, seafood enchiladas and a cheeseburger w/bacon, "the in-bred" (they forgot. And, I forgot it came w/jalapeño's soo I didn't ask or get them)
Ok...out of all the entrees...ONLY my cheeseburger, grilled fish and the spicy boiled shrimp were tasty. Everything else was meh!
The fried foods didn't have enough seasoning (flavor) and the enchiladas (looked fantastic) but tasted not bland just not that mmmm, good flavor.
I tasted them and they tasted like the seafood had once been frozen, thawed, cooked and smothered in a cream sauce. The crab was imitation too...if it wasn't...it tasted like it was.
All the appetizers were delicious...soo, add that to the few entrees that were yum...none of thought it was enough for any of us to ever go back.
Sorry, Alan
But, hey we sat outside, had great service, beautiful weather, good local singer and wonderful conversations.
