O'Neals On The Water

Good food. Good atmosphere. Being close to the water in Houston meant a lot of flying insects inside the restaurant, not just on the patio. It was a constant struggle to bat away flies. Other than that, the place has great potential and is probably very good when there are no bugs.

Fun local spot!!Next to a marina and a brand new Hyatt hotel, this is a waterfront dive bar / bar and grill with a good beach vibe and fun local crowd.Sure, it's next to the ship channel and Baytown is known for chemical plants and refineries, but you'd never know it while you were holed up in this place and having a good time. Seriously, you'd never know you were in Baytown. (And I grew up visiting family in Baytown all the time.)Sunday night special was coconut shrimp, and it was my favorite meal during the hotel stay next door. Some of the best coconut shrimp I've ever had, honestly. Monday night we split a pizza, after seeing an adjacent table order one and it looked great. And it was indeed pretty solid. Tuesday night I tried the blackened Mahi Mahi, and Tuesday was where it was spottier.We were at the hotel next door for an internal symposium conference thing, hence the repeated visits. Tuesday night was a pre-organized outing, and while the restaurant knew we'd have a party of 50 coming, they weren't quite prepared. They needed more staff, and some of our group waited FOREVER for their food. Our table was lucky, but as were were finishing up, another large table just got their appetizers. Ouch. And my Mahi Mahi was not blackened (it was just grilled and it was decent), and it ranked 3rd of my 3 visits that week. Someone next to me kept saying how good her burger was, and she cut it into fouths, didn't eat half, and gave a couple of us a fourth. Yep, should have ordered a burger. It was very good. Our waitress was good, to be clear - she just needed more help. And maybe the kitchen did, too.Bar had surprisingly good selection for a place like this - great bar.I'd come back for sure, but I doubt our company would go for a big group outing here again, unfortunately.

I was refused service because I didn't speak English. Keep in mind the United States doesn't have an official language because they're on stolen land.

Not recommended. Staff is rude . Decided not to go after incident. They only prefer certain customers. Will ignore if you are not their type. Also prices to high for quality of food

They wouldn't wait on a family that was there celebrating Father's Day because they were speaking Spanish. had to put a star rating before posting the review... That's the ONLY reason why I put a star. Maybe they should include as a rating. I hope the news media gets the notifications from social media that shows the loser manager telling them that they won't wait on them because they were speaking Spanish.

Si pudiera darle 0 estrellas se las daría! Un establecimiento Racista, donde te dicen que no te atenderán si hablas Español...! Si personal muy desagradable donde solo por hablar en español con tu familia, te menosprecian!

I've never heard of this restaurant. I planned to meet with a new person who sells tea, and this is the place she scheduled for us to meet. Upon walking in and being greeted by staff was a big plus for me. Our waiter came over immediately and asked if we wanted a cocktail drink. At first, I said no, then he told us about a cucumber drink, and I changed my no to a yes..lol. That drink was really good. I had the shrimp and grits, and it was perfect. I like a certain texture of grits, and it was just right. The shrimps were well seasoned and tasted so good. I also got hush puppies. When they first came, I was leary because they looked overcooked. My sister tried it first and said it was good, so I tried it and let me tell they were delicious. I certainly plan to go there again.

Hard pass. Food had no flavor. I thought I was walking into a KKK rally with how the servers are. They might as well put up whites only sign with how they are

I went there because a friend of mine recommended. The food is Denny's quality, but not Denny's prices. Prices were way too high for the quality of food. Our chubby little waitress took her time refilling our drinks and taking our order. It wasn't even busy. She was too busy, gossiping and talking with two other waitresses. Total disappointment and felt ripped off.

Food was dry and service was horrible, will definitely not recommend anyone to go. I see now why it was so empty.
