“Born in raised in Cajun country I usually tend to stay away from most crawfish and Cajun restaurants in other areas of the country but I was assured this place was legit. I was so impressed, I have yet to have anything bad there (I mostly eat boiled seafood every time or fried shrimp). Don’t let the size of the building fool you, there is some great cooking coming out of that small place.Worth the drive to Kilgore.“
“The food is quite good if you like the cuisine, I find fried foods tasteless though, so don't go by my a fickle taste buds. I truly enjoyed the key lime pie and the hush puppies are the best I've ever had. Service was amazing and the atmosphere is that of a popular small town eaterie, it's comforting and unassuming.“
“The food was amazing and came out super fast! The service was great, our waitress was very sweet. The atmosphere was calm and quiet. I’m surprised they weren’t busier on a Saturday! I think this is definitely my favorite restaurant now.“
“It was our first time at Skipper's yesterday, 4/03/24. We arrived 7pm and were told it'd be a 30-35 minute wait. We were happy to wait since it was our first trip and we drove about 40 minutes to come try it.While we waited my fiancé went to the bar to order us drinks. He said he was served promptly but was told by the bartender that the restaurants computer system was down so they were having difficulty. I will also share that he got a single shot of liquor and it cost $8, seemed a bit steep but no complaints.We were sat at a booth exactly after a wait of 35 minutes. Once sat we were told again that the system was down so they couldn't take orders but would be happy to get us drinks while we wait. Again, no issue. We appreciated the honest communication! By the time we did order it was 8:30. We ordered crawfish boat 3 hot and boudin egg rolls. The food was amazing!! We would come back for the egg rolls alone. The crawfish is the best we've had in East Texas from flavor to size.Overall we will return to skippers. They were communicative about issue, great food, and great atmosphere. A special thanks to the sweet server who continued to stop and talk to our baby. She kept him distracted and giggly!“
