“Given the location and the scenario, this place exceeded my expectations by far. I ordered the seafood platter and it was quite decent In addition, the place seems clean and service was nice. Would recommend a spot to sit back and relax instead of sitting in traffic heading down to Galveston“
“Can’t say enough good things about this place. Tried almost every appetizer and had multiple entrees- there is not one item we have had that wasn’t absolutely superb. The service is always incredible and even the owners wife has been around to ask our thoughts on the place. It’s an upscale unique seafood restaurant that this area didn’t have till now. It’s a new favorite that is close to home and always going to be great meal. Y’all gotta try this place. Do yourself a huge favor.“
“We drive from pasadena to texas city, just for these burgers. 1/3 lb. is PERFECT.I hate 1/2 lb burgers. It's too much! Remember people, half your customers are girls! Love the onion rings. One of these days we will try something else on the menu. I bet it's just as great.“
“The atmosphere is great! We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed the ambiance. The food was okay. I would have liked my fish to be cooked a little better, and the shrimp was a little rubbery. The service was also okay, we did wait 25 minutes for two sub-par desserts that I would never eat again...Otherwise, it was fun! My friend said the bloody Marys were great, and the husband enjoyed his fish..“
“Terrific food, and friendly staff but they cook to order and are very busy so it can take awhile for the order to be ready. (We think it's worth the wait!) It's takeout only and you wait outside, but there are some stools to wait on out of the sun. The place is right next to Boyd's bait store and that's busy also. Only a few nearby picnic tables, but you can go out on the Texas City Dike (which sometimes charges a fee) to find other picnic tables (which can be a bit sandy and have bird droppings) or you can eat in your vehicle.“
“Very impressed with the service here and not just because of the robot server. This place is very well attended by the staff. The food was delicious. I will admit the gumbo was thicker than what I'm used to and not as soupy but great flavor with lots of shrimp, chicken and sausage. I also had the fried fish on a bed of fries. Not kidding an entire basket of fries with about 5-6 fish filets. Very good value. The bar also looked very nice from where I sat. Awesome atmosphere.“
“Pook’s Crawfish Hole was everything I expected and more. The crawfish had a great flavor and the menu was great, even providing options for kids who do not eat seafood. My husband had the Pook’s platter so he was able to get a mix of boiled crawfish, shrimp, and crab. Our waitress, Shelbi, was amazing and she was very helpful. I can’t wait to go back for more crawfish!“
“I reserved the Emmitte Room to host a surprise 50th anniversary party for my parents. I live overseas and worked with Doug to plan the party from 8000 miles away without every stepping foot in the restaurant or seeing the Emmitte Room in real life until the day before the event. Doug was so great to work with! He not only executed the party flawlessly, but he helped to ensure that my anxiety was kept at bay. Brandice was the lead server the evening of the party and she was the ultimate professional and added so much value to an already amazing evening! Thank you to Doug, Brandice and the rest of the team for helping me to pull this off. I couldn’t have done it without you all. (The room was stunning and the food was out of this world!)“
“I picked up the 3 fish and 6 shrimp. This a lot of food. Fish and shrimp are big pieces. Catfish was very good and perfectly cooked. Butterfly shrimp was fresh and just as good. Food was delicious. The coleslaw was maybe the best I have ever tasted. Very delicious coleslaw. Need to go back and order just a large coleslaw. Highly recommend. Definitely a hidden gem in dickinson.“
“I feel like this is a secret amazing spot. I’ve only ever been for lunch and it never disappoints. Staff is knowledgeable about the menu & friendly. I love the hot crab dip & the bang bang shrimp. Super cute inside! There is an in between sitting area on the patio that’s covered which is nice and gives a view of the Gulf. One of my favorite places to eat on the island.“
“J. T. and his crew are the BEST. If I owned a restaurant, I would hire him as my manager. He can do any job, cook, bartend, wait tables and always does it with a smile. Jade is very friendly and professional and Blanca can cook some great waffles.This is a weekly stop for my family. Food is always fresh and great. Worth a visit.“
“I like Johnny’s because it’s a small local business. I see them cooking and making the food as ordered and it’s fresh. I feel like I’m at someone’s house and they’re cooking for me. Always friendly, and sometimes, when he’s trying some thing new, he’ll hand me a sample for my opinion. EVERY NOW and AGAIN, I can twist his arm to make some coconut tea ???. But really nice people. The inside is old looking, but it’s a hidden gem. Don’t let appearances fool you. Food is good“
“Absolutely delicious! I ordered six pounds of crawfish, corn, potatoes, and sausage for less than $50. The sides are not seasoned with the crawfish but it doesn't make them any less delicious. I recommend the side of butter for the sides. Boyd's crawfish is an absolute steel for the price, quality, and size! Boyds outshines the other local crawfish restaurants. Great job!“
“We stayed in Texas City to avoid the crowds in Galveston and the inevitable long wait to get a table in a restaurant.Gus was a comfortable restaurant, good service, GREAT food for a reasonable price. I had the blackened catfish, she had the fried. Both were excellent!“
“Love this place. Nice Cajun atmosphere, fantastic service and the food is out of this world every time. I have company come in from Katie. They wanna go to flippers. I even brought Several of my school bus driving friends from Galveston to eat there.This place is unbelievable.Give it a try you won't be sorry“
“Ate here last week for lunch and a few other times before and my bacon avocado cheeseburger was delicious and super juicy. Onion rings were super hot and fresh. I dont come here enough. Probably a good thing so i dont burn myself out and the food always tastes perfect. My food is always hot and never cold. Just wish they had fountain drinks but i understand its more of a alcohol establishment. The waitresses have always been super nice to me and check on me every 5 minutes. Never been on a extreme busy day but im sure they are short staffed, but these ladies always seem to work hard and never stand around on their phones n such always on the move so give them a break if they rush a little bit .“
