Drunken Oyster

The heat in this restaurants food is serious... in a good way! When it's crawfish season, this is our go-to spot to get boils to go. We can always count on the quality of the food. Wings and fries are a fan favorite as well as the blackened tilapia with THE BEST FRIED RICE! My only note (hence the minus 1 star) would be that you should check your pickup order before heading home. They have always forgotten a dish or gumbo and it's always frustrating to have to go back each time...

This fine eatery sits in a shopping strip. I discovered this place by passing by it, and noticing the name was drunken oyster and anybody who promotes a drunken oyster is fine with me. To my surprise. The food was amazing. The customer service is on point the owner is always there and he greets and talks to everyone who enters the establishment.

The seafood boil was good! Nice flavor and taste. But I ordered something else which isn't in the photo cause they never sent it. I ordered some spicy garlic edamame which usually should be a appetizer , and when I asked where it was the lady said it's still being worked on. Asked again 10 minutes later, same story. Then I finished my food and just decided to get a refund at that point. Not having edamame for dessert. Got my refund but not a sorry or anything. Great food but service not so much.

HANGING WITH THE SISTERS 07/15/2023 Recently, I visited this establishment on a lunch outing with my oldest and youngest sisters. I'm the middle sister of course. The three of us had an amazing time as we talked and talked for hours while enjoying the delicious and flavorful cuisine provided by this establishment. This was my first visit and my youngest sister's idea to come here. Firstly, I arrived on the scene about an hour ahead of my sisters because they were still at the nail salon getting beautified and pampered. When I entered the doors, I was not greeted by anyone. I found this to be a bit odd seeing that there were three female workers behind the counter moving around. As I approached the counter I still wasn't greeted by anyone. One of them walked right past me as I said, "Excuse me miss," repeatedly. However, she continued to strut her little self right past me as if she did not hear me, lol. Okay cool. No problem. I will try to speak to another worker. Fortunately, the other worker, whose name that I forgot, finally acknowledged my presence. I told her that it was my first time visiting their establishment and if she could explain the ordering process because I wasn't sure if I was supposed to have a seat and someone would come over to take my order or if I should walk up to the counter and order and then have a seat. Well, she explained that when you walk in, you place your order at the counter with them, then you find a seat, and next someone will bring your order out to you. She also informed me that I could open a tab or just pay my bill. Since I was going to be waiting for an hour or so for my sisters to arrive, I decided to open a tab. I ordered plain wings and fries with lemon pepper sauce on the side and a frozen Watermelon Lemon Margarita. The wings and fries were piping hot, fresh, and delicious! I was shocked by how good it all tasted. The fries were seasoned but not overly seasoned which is something I can appreciate. The Margarita wasn't the best I've ever had but the flavor was good. It wasn't strong at all and I could barely taste the liquor. I just don't understand why these establishments charge so much money for a glass of flavorful ice with a pinch of liquor as if they're fooling people. Unfortunately, I did not order another Margarita because it wasn't worthy. Secondly, after my sisters arrived we all made our way to the counter to place our orders. I ordered fried catfish, fried oysters, and fried shrimp, with a side of shrimp fried rice. My oldest sister ordered fried fish and shrimp with fries and coleslaw. My youngest sister ordered fried catfish and shrimp with shrimp fried rice. We all enjoyed our food across the table. I ate so much that I hurt myself. Yes I committed a sin! Just call me Gluttony! The shrimp fried rice was full of flavorful deliciousness! The fried fish, shrimp, and oysters all tasted flavorful and not too salty. The only complaint I have is that the batter falls completely apart whenever you take a bite, which is kind of annoying. This could be a result of the seafood being cooked too fast. Although it was fully cooked, it seems like they are frying it too hard and fast which is why the batter is not sticking. My oldest sister loves coleslaw and said that theirs isn't the best. She said it was just okay, but edible. In her humble opinion, Pappas BBQ here in Texas, has the best coleslaw that she has ever eaten, and no other food vendor has come close to even competing with it. Overall, we had a great time eating and enjoying one another's company. Although customer service didn't start off too great, it ended up being a hit in the end. Luckily for them, they got it together, because I tip according to how well you serve and treat me as a paying customer. The restaurant is very spacious which is great for families and friends to gather. Although the building seems to be outdated, the dining area was clean and presented in an immaculate and spotless state. I did not witness food crumbs underneath the tables or in the chairs. Kudos to them for that. Cleanliness is everything to me, because CLEANLINESS IS NEXT TO GODLINESS! I can definitely see myself in the future making another trip to the Spring area to patronize this business again, especially for their shrimp fried rice alone, which was a big HIT in my opinion! I highly recommend it, if you can get past the unprofessional staff working behind the counter that do not greet or welcome their customers. I just don't get how they have this delicious food at this establishment but very poor customer service skills, lol. Okay I'm done!

This is my 3rd visit within two weeks because the food is delicious!!! The grilled oysters and the Louisiana Crawfish cooked to perfection!!!

This place has some of the best oysters in Texas. If you enjoy oysters you have to extend them a try. The service is pretty good not the best they could try to engage a little more, but I was here for the oysters, lol. The ambiance is nice and a little throwbackish, love it.

Food was hot and tasty. Outside facade is unassuming, but food more than makes up for the ambience. I would and have already recommended.

I've been here once before and was impressed however my most recent visit i was not to satisfied with the food. The crawfish was not so good this visit and the wings were not either. And the customer service could've been a lot better. I will possibly give them another chance in the future..... maybe because of the eggrolls and boudin balls

The food was heavenly. The service was perfect. The ambience is very "hole in the wall" & random. I will be back ASAP.

The food is decent but sometimes the food is not done all the way, especially the large fried oysters. Also, someone needs to learn to count because twice I received 5 vs 6 shrimp
