Pat's Fisherman's Wharf

A bunch of us went to meet Lauren with her cutie baby and we sat outside along the waterway for lunch. The girl came out and asked us if we wanted drinks and Grif got a beer but that was all then she brought some heated baguettes with butter to which we pounced on it then ordered cat fish bites as a starter for the table! Everything was fine on a beautiful day so I asked the girl if I should get the soft shell crab or the stuffed crab and she barked the stuffed crab is great well it wasn't great and the crabmeat was not lump crabmeat it seemed like a store bought deviled crab with its crappy slightly flavored like crab. And that came with a pile of French fries which were good. Griff started with a cup of the gumbo and said it was good! Mike got the shrimp poboy which he felt the bread was way too thick and not enough shrimp not happy there, his Mum said the same thing about her poboy! And Lauren and the baby were happy with what they had! Overall we had a good time but the food was sketchy!

We wanted to try Pat's as we have not been to the Henderson area yet, and the ability to dine next to a river was nice. The drive out was nice also.We arrived and could immediately see the history, and the parking area was nice, lots of cats running around. We went inside and it took a little while to get the attention of the hostess, but was pleasantly greeted.We had a very nice service but a little slow, however the warm bread basket made up for that. There was one confusing part of the menu with prices in green, and red, which when asked meant the prices for cash or charge.I had the combo which consisted of one fried filet of catfish, which I must say was very well seasoned and wished I had more, the crab cake and stuffed shrimp was ok, dipping in the tartar sauce made it better, one hush puppy, again one more would have been nice, and a tablespoon (no exaggeration) of the Jambalaya, the bite of crawfish made it ok, nice portion of fries. We also had the Oyster Po boy, the bread was soft and thick which we liked however needed more filling, 3 oysters on each half, little lettuce and tomato, and the filling been more this would have been great, as the sweet potato fries were amazing. Price/portion was off to me.Still was worth the drive, and like I said the catfish was great, along with the shrimp.

Even though our favorite waitress Ms Nancy has retired, we still thoroughly enjoyed our lunch! Redfish and the flounder. Both were exceptional. We lovethe bayou view and the relaxed atmosphere. Kandi was our waitress today. She was awesome as usual with the staff here. Keeping Pats on our Goto list. So grateful they reopened after the tornado!

The service was AMAZING!!! When we entered we were greeted with such a warm hello and led to our table. Just made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! Our server Maci, was also great. She was so attentive and worked with us to ensure we enjoyed the entire experience. The food is good. It's not terribly over seasoned, which is good for those watching their salt intake. I'm not really a fried alligator girl, but the fried alligator here was delicious! The fried oysters were lightly breaded and fried and tasted very fresh. Good portion sizes and again, just a great time with family.

Great original gem in Henderson and perfect for lunch - i met up with a couple of buddies and we ate in the barNothing fancy here, its all about the food and it was that way from start to finish. We started with the fried cat fish bites and yes - the fried frog legs ! Dang - if you've never had frog legs you gotta try them ..as tender as chicken wings and perfectly fried! Catfish bites were great too BUT the frog legs were the starMain course , I had the fried catfish po-boy with fries.. fish was tender and sandwich was perfectly dressed in a great fresh roll. Po-boy came with extra crispy texture fries , nice touchMy buddies had the etouffee country style and the broiled black drum - both were very satisfied Final point, Jennifer took great care of our table ... see you in another year Jen!

The location is one of a kind on an inlet of the bayou. We ate on the breezy deck--really nice! Service was good, too. Now to the not great parts: the food is not all that memorable and is ridiculously overpriced. Bring plenty of money! Hubs has the friend shrimp dinner for $23. Popcorn shrimp and fries. Nothing g to write home about. I had the blackened redfish (very good) with shrimp etouffee ( not good at all) and a twice baked potato (meh). As someone who lives on the coast and eats seafood all of the time, I will not be recommending this place to friends and family traveling to the Atchafalaya Basin.

Not bad. Was expecting it to be bad but I enjoyed it. Got crawfish half half. It was actually good ettoufe and the fried crawfish was done right and surprisingly none of it was overly salty. The amount of rice they give you is less than adequate though. The jambalaya is bad. The crab cake appetizer was way too buttery. But it was still edible and ok. Service was friendly.

.ALERTI've eaten here for over 60 years and never had a bad meal, until last night. We ordered fried shrimp & a soft-shell crab.Unlike on all previous visits, when things were fried in Louisiana Fish Fry or similar; last night both were heavily battered with a sticky greasy mess. The hush puppies were still great, and the crawfish boulettes at the neighboring table looked fine.I certainly will go back, as this is a very classic place with a long history of excellent foods. But, until I know things have improved, I'll stick with the bisque, etouffee's, gumbo, catfish etc. Although its reputation was built on Seafood, Pat's offers very good steaks, too. But the bisque is the absolute World-Class best, and it is difficult to dine at Pat's without choosing the bisque.Will report any improvementsRick .

Overall, a great place to stop for some delicious fried seafood or crawfish! We were driving back to Houston from New Orleans on Easter Sunday and trying to find a place that was open. We were on our way to Cracker Barrel before I saw this on Google maps and decided to give it a chance. Unfortunately the patio was closed when we went, it would've been perfect to have lunch by the water!FoodWe ordered the seafood platter and blackened red fish combo to share between 3 of us, but after seeing the crawfish, we decided to also add 1lb of crawfish. We were pretty hungry and it was a good amount of food for us.Most everything in seafood platter was good and well seasoned, but the fries were meh. I really liked the fried shrimp. It did seem smaller portion for the price, but it was fresh. We all thought the blackened red fish was okay, it came with crawfish etouffee which my brother enjoyed, and a half baked potato which was nothing special. The crawfish was definitely the star of the show! So glad we decided to add it on. We like it spicy spicy so I had to add some more seasoning (slap ya mama) on the crawfish, but otherwise it was big, juicy and FRESH.Service/ambianceService was friendly and relatively fast. It's a pretty big restaurant and has a cute view of the water. Seems liked by locals, and they also sell their hot sauces if you're interested!Plenty of parking available.

The prices were ridiculous! Wish we had looked at the menu before we went. My husband got the special. It came out cold and was terrible. They did replace with another entree which was just as bad. The only good thing about this restaurant was the server. She was great. Would NOT RECOMMEND. I've never left a negative review but think people should know.
