Gumbo - great favor and you can make a meal out of it. We enjoyed it there and took the rest home. Had it the next day for lunch.

OMGG! Y'all want some good seafood, you should totally come here! The wait staff was attentive and made sure we had what we needed. The location is prime, right on the corner in Irving. (Where Big State used to be.) They closed up the cooking area and put a mural on the wall.It's a small location, but it's very quaint. It's a pretty sweet place!

This barely opened in the last week or so. They should not have rushed their open. 1. They don't have salt shakers.2. They don't have horseradish.3. Their cocktail sauce tastes like ketchup. 4. The inside of this place is incredibly ugly. It very much still looks like it's under construction with not much difference from when it was Big State. 5. They gave us lime for a lot of our seafood instead of lemon. 6. The fried catfish was NOT seasoned at all. It was just a flour breading. 7. The French fries were blasphemous and bland. 8. Almost everything outside of the seafood boil was torture to get through. 9. We got plastic spoons for oysters? 10. They don't have seafood crackers. 11. The only seafood tool they have are scissors. They also need to pick new gloves for the boil because they're rather huge and slide off easily. Overall I won't be going back because I don't have faith they'll improve. We tried speaking with someone upon leaving about some of the things they have to fix and he just had a very blank "I don't care" type stare.Don't rush to open if you don't have half of everything figured out. I did tip our waitress a good amount, but she was the only thing that was decent about this place. Hate that she was working half the restaurant by herself on a Sunday.

Make sure to bring your own pair of crab crackers . They only give you a pair of scissors. Other than that , food was good

We were shocked to drive over for lunch only to discover they don't open until 3pm so we left and went to Catfish House. I think this is a very bad business model given the hours of operation for this location in South Irving. South Irving is not known for it's nightlife like Dallas or Las Colinas. To make matters worse, today is my birthday and I was really looking forward to supporting this new addition in our small downtown area. We don't really go out for dinner as we have an urban farm right down the street so for sure won't be trying it for dinner. 3pm is super late for lunch too. I'm not sure if we will go at all given the mediocre reviews.

The food was good but not worth the price. They added a 15% surcharge to our bill at the end & didn't tell us. We had 6 people in out group.

Read about this place on Nextdoor. Was surprised by the negative reviews on Yelp. Our experience was good. The food was super hot and exactly what you expected from a fried basket. The gumbo was excellent. Way more fries than anyone could ask for. Service was great.

We called ahead to make sure they were open and the gentleman was very kind and let us know the hours. It was pretty empty so we were seated at our choice in table very quickly. He brought over the menus and drinks and took our orders. We got our food pretty fast and he was very attentive. The food was really good, the hot spice level is in fact hot, but it's kind of a slow rising heat. Really well priced for the portions you get! Can't wait to come back again

I ordered the fried shrimp basket and the wife had the fried catfish. I was very disappointed. The 6 shrimp came right out of a box of frozen breaded shrimp that you can buy at Sam's or what you would find at a cheap buffet. The catfish wasn't any better and I am pretty sure it was also frozen and prebreaded and from Sam's as well. It was not what we were expecting.Since the restaurant is fairly new to Irving, we thought we would try it out. For the price they charged, you can get much better, fresh seafood in Irving. We won't be back and I cannot recommend eating here.
