Manvel Seafood & Grill

Pretty nice service. Good Cajun food. A friend thought it was on the salty side. I'm a fan of salty foods so I wouldn't know if it was or not. It had flavor to me. 3 Flounder and etoufee 3/5Flounder was good. Etoufee was soso. But watery. Not as saucy as we like it. Gumbo 2/5Light, tad bland. Too watery. Flavor was okay. Fried seafood platter 5/5 Fish was good. Super tasty batter. Lots of food to try. Everything was still tender. Tartar was good. Boudin something 5/5 Unique take on boudin. Tasted like dirty rice fried in both sides. Super flavorful, had a nice light crunch and soft inside. Played a good balance in texture. It maybe I'm just weird. Stuffed flounder 4/5 Has a good flavor and sauce on top but was a bit dry. Cesar salad 5/5Solid salad. Dressing a bit salty but it's on the side so that's good.

Glad to see that you're back open . Food is still Fantastic !Fish and shrimp were perfectly cooked as well as the boudain stuffed Salmon

Used to be good not anymore. Food quality is horrible for the $$ you spend there you can get much better!

This place does good business! We got there at 5pm and had to wait a bit for a table.Fried alligator with onion strings - 5/5 Would order again. Alligator was tender and moist.Onion rings - 0/5 Terrible, thick pancake like batter and mushy onion. Never again.Jumbo shrimp cocktail - 3.5/5 Nothing wrong with it other than the word "jumbo" being misleading. Large shrimp at best. The cocktail glass dwarfed the shrimp.Chicken fried steak - Didn't try it but the consumer had no complaints!Crawfish etouffee - 1.5/5 Decent amount of crawfish, but too different in flavor from pretty much every other crawfish etouffee out there. The color made it look more like a curry. And it wasn't very warm. Not for me. Nobody at the table wanted to finish it. Sorry, etouffee.Fried shrimp/oysters/crawfish/etc. - 5/5 No complaints. Crispy and fresh.Hushpuppies - 0/5 Absolute trash. Please improve these flavorless, hard balls.Spicy boiled red potatoes - 5/5 My mouth was on fire in the best of ways.Italian cream cake - 4.5/5 The only thing that would make it better is more cream cheese in the frosting. It tasted more like buttercream.We had some hits and some misses but we'll be back to try new things and more of the good things!The staff was also very friendly and we loved our waitress!

Sadly this restaurant closed its Manvel location apparently they are moving to Iowa Colony. A change in Brazoria County lcodes forced the move. Sounds like big government is at it again. I hope you do well in IC. We'll stop in from time to time for some good grub.

This was such a nice find close to home! Sorry I don't have photos this time. I will say the wait was a little longer than normal but we had the best wait staff. The service was exemplary! My mom ordered the shrimp, hubby the catfish, I ordered chicken... everything was cooked to order and good. The place was family oriented and you could tell by tue folks eating there; they were pleased. It has a simple ambiance, tables, some booths. A few TVs but mostly you have conversation if you have folks out their devices away. All in all we will be back. The food was delish!

Great food. Very tastyWe love the fried pickles but the blackened fish is my favorite. My kids loved the crawfish there!

I was lied to because they said they sell catfish, but it was not. They had to refund me when I brought it to their attention

Gross gross gross Chinese options are bland and no flavor If you have no taste buds you're ok here

Great local restaurant for seafood. No frills, just good food and service was excellent
