I usually go to the location off bandera and ive never had problems at that location. When I get seafood boils I try to "stick to what I know" because I like higher priced boils and hate sending food back. Overall I want an almost guaranteed "bank for my buck" This locations food quality was so disappointing. We ordered an appetizer that ended up coming with our meal, Our food WAS COLD when we got it, the crab legs were overcooked and stuck to the shell, which made the whole experience terrible. I dont like complaining at restaurants when I spend this much money to avoid the eye rolls I get the stigma of people wanting free meals. But this was awful. Our server was as sweet as can be. The flavors were there, The location is nice, but a 35 minute drive to bandera is WELL worth it. I steadily do Google reviews, my last video at Banderas location has over 3 million views. I hate to associate a bad review with this company but honesty is worth more than views. Would not reccomend to locals or tourists.
Absolutely the best of the best and then some! Food was sooooo good that we were ready to lick the taste of the walls. Great service, Outstanding selection, and Fabulous Results. Food was Hot, Fresh, Tasty, and Flavor packed down to the last bite. Hostess was extremely helpful, had an extensive knowledge of menu , and was courteous beyond measure. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and 👍👍. This establishment is a MUST try if you are in the area. We will be back to throwdown on this seafood bonanza soon. Thank you for having us and serving up such a Great experience.

My husband and I decided on this place for our 29th anniversary and our granddaughter joined us for dinner. Devin was our waiter and he was awesome. We ordered the gumbo for us to try and share; it was good but, a little salty. We ordered The Crab Trap Boil with the trinity seasoning and it was plenty of food for the three of us. We ordered extra potatoes and eggs and everything was delicious. Devin made sure we had everything we needed and he checked on us several times. At the end of the meal Devin brought us warm delicious brownie and ice cream for our anniversary. HOW THOUGHTFUL WAS THAT!!!! We will definitely be back to try the catfish
This was my first time visiting the restaurant, and my experience had a mix of highs and lows. When I arrived, the atmosphere felt welcoming and the staff greeted me politely, which gave a good first impression. The food itself was flavorful and came out hot, and I could tell it was made with care. However, the service was a bit inconsistent. After being seated, it took a while before our server checked in, and we had to wait longer than expected for drink refills and a few basic items. The staff was friendly when they did come by, but the timing felt off and made the visit less smooth than it could’ve been. Overall, my first visit wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t perfect either. The food was great, the people were kind, but the slow and uneven service kept it from being a fully positive experience. I’d be willing to give it another try, hoping for a more consistent visit next time. Lastly, make sure you look at PRICES before you pay for your meals. Food price is high in general.
