Edna Seafood and Grill

Being new to Edna I wasn't aware of where to eat but lucked into a grilled catfish and shrimp dinner situation at Edna's Seafood Restaurant, which luckily had late opening hours allowing me to blow in at 815pm. The food was so fresh, flavorful and amazing I got a second go round for takeout the day I departed.  Five stars to Edna Seafood!

Ate here twice during the week we were in Edna. Wait staff were friendly and prompt. Beer was ice cold! Seafood was hot and delicious and plenty of it. Highly recommend the place!

Asked the server if the oysters were rolled in cornmeal or had a batter on them. She said she didn't know but would ask. She came back and said cornmeal so I ordered them. They came out battered and overcooked. When her supervisor cleared our table and saw the oysters left on my plate she asked if they were not good and my husband told her that they were not rolled in cornmeal like we were told and she argued with him that they were prepared in cornmeal. Having cooked for over 50 years I know the difference between cornmeal and flour!!!! Too bad this restaurant doesn't!

If you like seafood eat here. There are SO many options you are sure to find something you like. I rarely post on a first visit but I am not likely to return to Edna any time soon. I almost didn't come here because I didn't think the posted pictures were very appealing. But against my judgement I came and I must say I enjoyed my visit. I ordered the lunch special of grilled flounder with came with dirty rice and staemed veggies. You also get a choice of salad or coleslaw. I like to try different coleslaws and found this one to be drowning in mayo. I posted my own photos that show the spices in which the fish is grilled. It was almost too salty, but I ate it with lemon and/or coleslaw. The rice has meat in it-ground beef. The veggies were perfectly steamed. I do recommend this restaurant. I came on a cold day at lunchtime. The locals do seem to enjoy this place and for good reason. The servers are friendly and helpful and aren't afraid to make recommendations or confirm with the cook if they don't have an answer as to how something is cooked.

I was told by my hotel that this was a great new place in town. It seems to have taken over for a failed steakhouse that was there previously, called Lariat. After looking at the menu, it has reasonable prices and many items to choose from including fried and grilled seafoods, fresh meat burgers, cfs, gumbo, etoufee, frog legs, raw oysters, alligator, crawfish, etc.I ordered the 30 spicy boiled shrimp ($8.99), and grilled red snapper ($10.99).They had a full parking lot, so they must be doing a lot better than the steakhouse ever did. They serve domestic and mexican beer.The food was good, the appetizer came out first and 30 medium sized shrimp came out hot with potatoes and corn. After about 4 minutes, the entree came out and included dirty rice and steamed veggies. The veggies were seasoned similar to the boiled shrimp and the fish, so it seemed. I wasn't a big fan of the rice, but the snapper was pretty good.My biggest surprise was when the bill came, they played the ole switcheroo and charged me $10.99 for the boiled shrimp, instead of the menu price of $8.99. When I ordered it, I remember pointing to the menu item and they only asked me if I wanted it spicy. I said yes. I had no idea that would cause my meal to jump $2. I just didn't like that part.

First time coming to this place. I've been to a similar place in Hallettsville (I hear it's the same ownership). Sweet tea = delicious! Service = very nice, polite, and attentive. The fried seafood was good, with the exception of the stuffed crab. To me, the stuffing was lacking flavor. Overall, a pretty good experience. I plan on going back when they have crawfish and raw oysters!

This place has plenty of menu options for everyone. Use the "Explore Menu" on YELP to see everything Edna Seafood & Grill offers. We, a group of five, were very satisfied with the food, atmosphere and service. No need to dress fancy. No wait at the door.

Nice spot with good food. First off this place is kept really clean. The food is good. It's good quality ingredients prepared well. Not a lot of flare, just traditional fried and griddled seafood. It's a nice option for dinner for sure and would recommend to anyone in the area looking for seafood.

Literally the worse place you can eat in Edna. Owned by Chinx and very very stingy. I ordered fried shrimp with french fries and they gave me about 8 small, skinny fries. A kids plate would have more fries than that. My server was a nice lady.. not her fault at all but when I asked "that's all the fries I get?" she said she'll make it right and then charged me for an extra side of fries... None of my food was seasoned or even good but the tab was pricey of course. When you get sat at the table they hand you saltine crackers to eat. No butter or anything for them just plain crackers.. Will never eat here again and recommend nobody even going to waste money over there. Chinx sucks and hope they go out of business

If I could do zero starts I would, be prepared for a loooong wait, and their food is not amazing. I've gone here a handful of times and every time I go to give them another chance and see if they have better themselves...nope they still haven't.
