The Ralph's platter was bland. The oysters were very overcooked and rubbery. They made excuses and offered substitute foods. I insisted on the oysters and finally got them cooked right. The crab cake was very minced and over breaded. Tasted like the crab cakes from the grocery store. Gumbo had so much rice in it that it was no longer gumbo but just rice and gravy. A big disappointment. Average place to eat.

Fantastic food. Good wait staff. Well seasoned food.
Although the young ladies were very nice, the food was trash I was the only person in there and my fries were cold. I literally live right around the corner. The shrimp Poboy was unseasoned. The gumbo was OK.

We tried eating here when it first opened and we were majority let down. A couple years later...we decided to give it another shot (on Mother's Day)Waitress was nice, courteous and helpful. The restaurant itself was clean. We were sat quickly. Food came out steaming hot. HOWEVER..... everything was so bland we didn't finish our food.Over just unimpressed again...and probably won't be back.

Wonderful food, great service, we love this restaurant. Our favorite place to eat and great staff
I had a wonderful time, I was greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service the food was delicious. The ambiance was lively, yet cozy, setting the perfect mood for a memorable date night.
Messed up order. Fish was gooey and stuffed shrimp weren't very good. Wont go back or recommend.

I've always heard how good Ralph and Kacoos were and I've wanted to try them for over 20 years, probably more! But, I lived in Houston and it was on the other side of town and never went out of my way to make that drive. Then they opened one in Galveston, but never made that either. Finally got to try this one in Beaumont where the old Steakhouse was. Waking in we were promptly greeted and asked if we wanted a table or booth. We usually always go for the booth, so booth it was! Our server came to the table and was very friendly and outgoing. She got our drink orders and came right back. She then asked about appetizers. So we ordered the Firecracker Shrimp and also the Swamp Bites (fried Alligator nuggets) for our 8 year old. We also tried an order of two each of their four different kinds of grilled oysters. Two were garlic butter and Parmesan, two were topped with a crabmeat mixture, two were oysters Rockefeller, and two were topped with cheese and jalapenos! They were decent with my favorite being the jalapeno cheese! For our dinners our 8 year old had fried shrimp and fries off of the kids menu. My wife decided on the shrimp and grits, I ordered the Delta combo of catfish fillets and oysters. The Firecracker Shrimp were really good, but not a lot of them. Our 8 year old ate the entire appetizer of fried alligator!!! We had to get a side of ranch to dip it in because he didn't care for the Hollandaise sauce that came with it. My wife's Shrimp and grits were just ok, she was a little disappointed that it looked like they just put ettouffee over grits with shrimp! I tasted it and I didn't really care for it because when you've had great Shrimp and Grits you compare everything else to that. My Delta combo had two catfish fillets and 6 oysters with fries, plus two hush puppies. Now in most places you go that have seafood they offer combo platters of multiple items of your choice of two at a set price. Here they charge you for the cost of a platter of one item and then add six dollars and change to that. So somewhere else you might pay $22-23 Dollars for a combo platter. Here at R and K's your going to pay around $26-27 dollars for a combo platter that didn't have as much as other places. My catfish was not fresh and was tough around the edges, the oysters were a little overcooked. I also love Tarter Sauce with my seafood. I didn't care for theirs at all. It just didn't have much of a taste to it. So when you're used to eating good seafood when you've grown up around it all your life and you know what it's supposed to be like, you're going to be a little disappointed with seafood here. Now I think of all those years wanting to try R and K's only to find out it wasn't quite what you expected. I don't mind driving two hours for great seafood. And there are quite a few really Good places two hours from me!
