“The seafood here is so fresh and absolutely delicious! If you order fried food be sure to order it “seasoned.” My recommendation: seafood gumbo and the Mate Plate seasoned. You choose two proteins. I like the fried catfish filets and fried shrimp with hush puppies. If you prefer, they can broil the proteins. SO GOOD!“

“Fast service hot food Good atmosphere“

“We had a great experience at Mayitos Mariscos & Wings, and a big part of that was because of our waitress, Angel! She was very friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Her great attitude and excellent customer service really made a difference.

Thank you, Angel, for making our experience so enjoyable! We’ll definitely be coming back. ❤“

“My husband and I are in Houston for his cancer treatment at MD Anderson. Needless to say, not a trip for fun, but it’s his birthday today, and we wanted to get out of the hotel at the hospital and celebrate just a little. Because he has stage 4 stomach cancer, his dietary needs are limiting, so eating out can be difficult. I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. This being our first trip to Houston, we know little about the area, and our cab driver helped us decide on Navy Blue. Well, can I just tell you, they were soooooo accommodating of our needs!!! The chef went out of his way to prepare some special items for us, so my husband could eat. Though his portion size is limited, he thoroughly enjoyed his food, as did I. I ordered a small appetizer of baked in butter Prince Edward Island oysters, simply prepared, and oh so delicious. My husband loves oysters, but they haven’t loved him since he’s been sick. He even had one, and enjoyed it. My husband also loved the cheddar biscuits, and seaweed butter, I couldn’t believe he was able to eat the whole biscuit. They have a simply prepared section in their menu, and you can order your seafood pan seared in olive oil with simple seasonings. This was great for his situation, and he had beautiful pink juicy gulf shrimp. I had the Dover sole, and it was perfectly prepared and boned tableside. Gorgeous presentation, and the fish was absolutely delicious. I ordered the sautéed spinach, and he the creamed potatoes. We shared those, and both were delicious. All the staff were well trained in service and they were super attentive. Our server was magnificent. Thank you Navy Blue for showing us a lovely night out, in an otherwise difficult time. We highly recommend your restaurant to anyone in the Houston area looking for fabulous food, fabulous service, and exquisite attention to detail. This place is wonderful!!!“

“We had an amazing experience at Balboa! Starting with the complimentary valet, which was quick and friendly service. The entry to the restaurant was super nice and a great photo opportunity spot. Kyrah took excellent care of us during our visit, and we loved the team style service. It felt like we had a team serving us, and they are so quick and quiet that you can continue to hold conversations and visit but someone is always near if you need anything. Kyrah took special care to "refresh" our cocktail glasses when we finished about half of our drinks, and made excellent recommendations. The food was absolutely amazing. Our table tried the fried shrimp, oysters, spicy ahi tuna roll, crab cake, Post Oak ribeye with pureed potatoes, salmon with the most delicious and unique salad, and heirloom tomatoes. The cocktails were delicious, including the Gold Rush, Rum Dum, and el Guero. The restaurant vibe is romantic but fun and sophisticated and has an open kitchen concept where you can see the food being made if you care to watch. I will most definitely be back and can confidently recommend this place to anyone!“

“My husband and I went for our anniversary! It was great, we even received a hand written card wishing us a happy anniversary and also a phone call the day after checking how our visit was. An amazing experience and the food was even better 😍 Definitely will be back. Special shoutout to our server, Taylor! She had such an upbeat spirit and her service was truly amazing. The food she recommended was definitely 1000/10! ❤️“

“My husband and I have been loyal patrons of Goode Company Seafood for years and have always enjoyed our dining experiences. Shelley, our longtime waitress, has been an integral part of those visits. She was always warm, welcoming, and attentive, knowing exactly what we liked. We were saddened to learn that she was recently let go. While we don’t know the reasons behind this decision, her absence has certainly been felt, and our dining experience hasn’t been the same without her. We truly miss her and hope she may return someday, as she brought something special to every visit.“

“Staffs are friendly. Mainly here for crawfish, really tasty, asked for 5 lb and get 5 lb. Enjoyed it.“

“A beautiful dining experience. Wonderful live music at just the right decibels on a Saturday night. My fiance' had the ahi tuna and requested it to be medium well, and it came out perfectly. I had the sea bass. The fish was perfectly tender and served over a delicious and tender sauteed spinach. No one can go to Eddie V's and be disappointed.“

“My daughter and two friends helped me celebrate my 90th birthday at Trulucks in Houston. The best bd celebration I’ve ever had. Derek made our visit perfect with good and drinks and topped it all off with flaming baked Alaska. Well done Derek, well done Trulucks.“

“We took my husband, for his 81st birthday, as he used to come here for many years, and where he wanted to go with my, Dad, &. our Son. The setting was wonderful, service spot on, and their food was amazing. They have been in Houston over 106 years, and the staff, attend to you as your the only customer there. 10 Stars in very way.“

“Let me start with the reservation first. So I was originally trying to book the other place (their competitor around the area iykyk) at first and I called 3 weeks in advance but they asked me to call back a week before my planned date. But for some reasons they didn’t allow me to make a reservation for the weekend because of the World Cup. I was low key mad but then I found Midnight Kabob. I called and they took my big party reservation.

We came here to celebrate my birthday on Sunday. We had a large group around 15 people. The food was amazing and the server was amazing! We all had a great time here. I would definitely come back!“

“A delicious date night. Terrific food and excellent service thanks to Dominic.“

“The food was fresh and hot and out quick. The order was accurate. Our waitress, Miss Destiny was exceptional. Very helpful, attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. She got the review the 5th star. Come check it out. Tell them I sent you!“

“This year has been challenging for me, and I finally started going to restaurants and doing other outdoor activities.
February 2026 to August 2026, I learned a lot about health and well-being.
Persian and all kinds of Mediterranean food are always my top three choices.
I am surprised that I missed Reza all this time.
This time, we picked up because of the weekdays (late work hours), but I usually like to sit down at the restaurant and enjoy my food coming straight from the kitchen to my table.
We decided to order a family tray (all kinds of kabobs) for 4 people. I also ordered my favorite Mast-e-khair (yogurt with cucumbers).
We asked for sherazi salad and other sides, but our wonderful hostess Jennifer and Sheema told us this order comes with side dishes, including rice and bread.
I like their smiles and kind gestures.
When they told me the total price, I was shocked; it was so affordable for 4 people, and the serving sizes are huge.
We are very happy to have found a place like Reza Persian Grill, with delicious food, kind service, and great prices--highly recommended, and with a big parking lot.“

“Todo muy rico y muy buen servicio“

“Incredible experience here. For our first time our server Joey did an exceptional job at explaining everything to us and answering any questions we had. Food was phenomenal and not overbearing considering the portions were huge. Definitely making this place a once a month go to. Thank you Miltons for a lovely night“

“By far one of the best burgers in the Houston area. Everything is fresh and halal. All I will say is. Surprise yourself by going to this location“

“Awesome Waitress Mari shes the best very attentive ,The Stuff fish is was delicious.. with vegetables and salad ,Gracias !🩷💙“

“i put the oysters in my mouth and they instantly combusted in my jaws. They were so creamy and tender. So tender it made me want to beat my grandma.“

“Good food. Good prices. Small neighborhood Fish/Seafood Market“

“I visited with my sisters and from the moment we stepped in, we were treated like long lost friends. Our server, Eric, was so personable, hospitable, and helpful. He guided us through their newly curated drink menu, thoughtfully offered specials and even helped me piece together a delicious off-menu vegetarian dish. My sisters tried the barramundi, scallops and crab cakes, all wonderful. I wish I could receive that level of service everywhere.“

“Went to try to eat at a place close by but the wait was an 1:30 long. Looked up food near me and this place pooped up. Hands down was blown away. Awesome food, awesome service(Maddie) was so polite and attentive. Will definitely be going back.“

“Honestly, some of the best food i’ve tasted in houston. Had the Lamb chops, Suya, Jollof rice, and jerk chicken. Each item was very flavor and love the spices as it wasn’t overbearing but definitely the kick you need and looking for!!! A must visit !“

“Houston Hidden gem. Service excellent. Food scrumptious my favorite Fried lobster yummyyyyy. Drinks to die for. Loved the place I will go there as often as I can.“

“Todo excelente ! Nos atendió Alesandra , atención de calidad ! Gracias“

“This place is great. The parking lot is small, but the experience is big. I've been a couple times. It's not a cheap date by any stretch, but they apparently do have happy hour pricing that makes a big difference. I'd call ahead if your cost conscious to find out when. The food is fantastic. The service is solid. The portion sizes are on par with fancy/white table cloth style dining experiences. Don't expect to talk out 'full' without dropping a hundred a head. But if you're into experiences, great flavors and reliable service, this is an option I have returned to. The cocktails are tasty as well! I see it more of a date night... especially if you did something you need to apologize for. I will go back.“

“Muy rica su comida es un lugar que voy a regresar.“

“The food was delicious! The service was excellent, and the atmosphere/ experience was awesome! I loved every minute of it, and also enjoyed the Photo Booth experience.“

“First of all the food was amazing! We ordered things that we’re on the menu and off. They made everything perfectly. Second, the staff was so nice, Felipe was our waiter and he went above and beyond. Lastly, Arturo came to our table and chatted with us and brought us things to taste, plus my mom wanted a special dessert that she was hoping Arturo would make and he did it just for her. Delicious Samayon!“

“Great food and customer service.“

“I enjoyed my birthday dinner here. Mikaela was our server and she was awesome. She informed us on all the food , drinks, and history of the restaurant. She made sure I felt welcomed and had a great experience. Thank you girly, my birthday dinner was wonderful.“

“You know the place is gonna be fire when the windows are blacked out and as soon as you open the door you hear R&B playing. Staff was nice and attentive. Met the famous Mike and was super friendly. The crawfish was legit AF. Being from New Orleans it is nice to see people who know how to actually cook the mudgugs (actually season the water and not the shells). The crawfish is soo good that I took the heads and shells home to make my own crawfish stock and crawfish bisque. We will be back for sure and thanks Mike for making your restaurant feel like home.“

“On 10/1/26, had the opportunity to go dinner and celebrate a friend's birthday. We both enjoy our experience for the first time. The food was well prepared and very delicious. I highly recommend the lobster and crab cake as appetizer. We enjoyed our entrees with a red blend. This was definitely a great evening.

We had two servers by the name of Ms. Hannah and Mr. Micheal. Both servers made our first time experience seamless and enjoyable. We also had the opportunity to meet Ms. Aylssa the Asst. Manager. It was a pleasure meeting her and we appreciate the moment she took to say hello and ask about our experience. Additionally, the men and women who were responsible for keeping our table clear worked seamless and potential.

I would highly recommend dining here due our overall experience and the exceptional service we received.“

“Am new in Houston this has been the best restaurant my fiancé and me been in point blank,customer service , Atmosphere,food mmm 😋 top of the line will recommend it 💯period!!“

“Great variety of seafood & Cajun dishes on their extensive menu. Their “Kitchen” flavor is very citrus and unique for Viet-Cajun. We enjoy the garlic butter & cajun seasoning. There’s coconut snails, garlic butter escargot, fried catfish & crawfish tails, pan roast, and fried rice too! My son loves their garlic noodles with large crab chunks! Friendly service from a mom & pop local restaurant. Highly recommend for your crawfish, crab, mussel, & shrimp cravings!“

“We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Everything is cooked perfectly. The flavors work so well together and we really enjoyed our dinner, the Causa Cevichero was absolutely amazing! "Highly recommend this restaurant" Thanks to the owner for taking the time to introduce himself ☺️“

“Muy buena la comida con buenas porciones y aparte el ambiente con la música en vivo me gustó mucho y la banda complace la canción que quieras y el ambiente me gusta mucho y la gente se conecta“

“I’m visiting Houston from Colorado and are so glad we found Magdelina! We had the calzone and it was absolutely delicious — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and easily one of the best we’ve had. The whole experience was fantastic, and the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. Definitely one of those places you’re happy to stumble across while traveling. We’ll absolutely be back next time we’re in Houston. Highly recommend!“

“Found on Google while we were in Houston and were craving Viet cajun style food. Ordered the gumbo, combo fried rice, chicken cajun pasta, shaken beef, catfish and shrimp platter, and southern fries. Everything was well-seasoned and tasty. Crispy catfish and fries. Crawfish wasn't available on our visit. Courteous and friendly staff. I'm surprised they weren't busier at opening time.“

“The kids and I ate there last night!! It was great!! Food was delicious the service was awesome!! It’s definitely a unique little spot!! Highly recommend!!“
