Sad to see the place closing down but managed to make it there one more time before they did. Great service and people for 14yrs!

I love the salmon and oysters on the half-shell. I would much rather eat there than Red Lobster where I never get my moneys worth.

I really enjoyed the food. I'm just sad that I waited this long to try the place and it's closing at the end of the month.

Seems more like a place to drink than an actual restaurant. My fried fish was was saturated in oil and the only detectable flavor was freezer burn. The tea was lighter than apple juice. The service was just as bad. The wait staff was only paying attention to the bar patrons. Half of my child’s food was extremely overcooked while their fries were limp and undercooked. Subpar food and subpar service.It seems like a nice little restaurant and has the potential to be something really good if there was a better effort.

Initially, I was a little disappointed. We decided to try Breakers because we wanted oysters, but the waitress explained that they were out because their shipment of oysters were dead, and they had sent them back. We had the shrimp brushetta, which was really good. We ordered the seared ahi and the red snapper, both of which were really good. We decided to share a brownie, which came out hot and delicious. Our waitress was on point and kept our glasses filled and made sure we had everything we needed. We even had one of the chefs come out and make sure we were enjoying our food. Even though I would have really enjoyed some oysters I am glad they sent them back and didn't try and serve them like some other places would have. I will definitely be back.

We Love supporting local businesses and try to give them all a chance.I don't normally leave reviews that are bad. I just chalk them up but I spent a pretty penny here $$$. So, with that said, here ya go. The food was not even to be considered "good" we left most of it on the table. We did order a large variety of different things to share and taste but none of it was on point.The staff was more concerned with chatting and cutting up with the bar patrons then us.We were never asked how was your food, do you need refills, would you like another drink... I had to go fetch silverware for us.The overall experience was bad. The food was bad. The staff was bad. I guess this explains why there was only 3 tables sat and everyone else was hanging out in the bar.I will not be back and will advise friends and others whom ask me not to go here either. There are other options that appreciate your patronage and are happy you chose them. Breakers is not it.

Show up cleaned my own table and waitress took drink order. Tea came out weak. Then waitress took food order and brought out my Oysters Rockefeller. Asked for hot sauce and got chalula. Then specified I needed Tabasco for my Oysters. From the time of order it was an hour waiting on food. Keep in mind. 3 people ordered. Place was not packed. 1 waitress. Yes I got my own refills to not bother her but still. Placed money on the table for ordered items and walked out. Then bar tender says bye have a nice day. LOL.Thursday night everyone around myself got drinks and food before myself even though they walked in afterwards.No Thank you Breakers!

food was just not even passable and took way too long. Service was ok - but got she the order wrong. We didn't eat it because it wasn't good and we were ready to leave. Screaming kid (really loud) made it less than pleasant. We won't go back. Really not a good vibe overall. Maybe the drinks are ok - there were lots of people hanging around the bar, honestly wonder if that's how they stay in business.

Wow never have I ever had such horrible experience here. The service was awful, the food was burnt, took 2 1/2 hours to get our entire meal, with a table of 7. Most of our tickets were wrong by the time we eventually got our food and we were 1 of 2 tables in there this evening. Sad that one of our favorites have gone down hill so much.

Yum! The salmon is always amazing. Also enjoy the sirloin, shrimp scampi, and the wings. Can really never go wrong with anything so far!
Absolutely awesome. The oysters were well prepared, and the shrimp and grits might be the best I’ve ever had!

My wife and I love this place. The owner and staff are very friendly, and although I can't eat shellfish but all the other food is top notch. Try the burgers or the steaks, you won't be disappointed. The steak tacos are good, too. Don't get me started on the cheesecakes... Yum!

Breakers is awesome! I had the best experience the other day, Jennifer was the most attentive bartender and provided the most excellent service I think I have ever received. Everything was clean and tidy and it gave the vibe of a “cheers” bar! Will definitely come back.

For the past decade of going to Breaker's, I can say I have always loved the food! It is hard to find good seafood in East Texas, that is not fried. The owner is diligent, and hard working. The atmosphere is great, filled with great people, it can get a little loud from time to time.
Vegetarian options: they have this awesome black bean burger! Super good! Fresh avocado, pico, and I think it's a brioche bun.
Kid-friendliness: I do not suggest having a child's birthday party here.
