Paul's Restaurant & Bar

Loved this family owned establishment, food was sooo good only took a picture of my oysters that were fresh and GOOD!!! Had the fried shrimp meal and the catfish wish was fried and season perfectly. My daughter had the burger and fries and she loved it. They had performers that night and we enjoyed the show. Only one server however with a packed house patience is key!! However didn't mind the sit due to staff being amazing!!!

Great seafood and fun place because it feels like a boat. Fried shrimp was good. Oysters too!

We live just down the street from them, have driven past them almost daily for the last half a year, finally decided to give it a try- planning to be regulars now. Margaritas actually do their job- the cups are iced, they don't cheap out on the pour. We had 2 lb of the Cajun shrimp, and the home made sauce was so delicious.

I've driven past here so many times but never stopped. I finally did because I had a craving for crawfish and they were out decided to stay anyway and ordered the "Cajun" shrimp which came with a ketchup type sauce all over it. Nothing Cajun or seasoned about it. I ate like 2 and was finished. The food wasn't the best but the bartender is sweet and the margaritas were pretty good, I also liked the music they played and hole in the wall vibes.

The wings were really good, it's hard to find a good wing in Houston! the snow crabs were pretty good as well, I believe they were steamed and to me steamed crabs are the best! Also the mango margaritas is really good. Me, my daughter, & her dad ate there around 9 o clock pm the outside was pretty cool enough space for her to run around and be free so that was good. One last thing the waitress I can't remember her name but she was really sweet & nice absolutely loved her service. I didn't get a chance to take a picture of my food because I ate it all up before I thought about taking a picture lol

I really love this bar! Their guacamole is sooo good but when we wanted to order a second round of guac, they were out of avacado's. They don't have coors light which is kind of a staple in Texas. They don't have draft beers. Bottles only. The crawfish were 7.99 a LB but some of the worst tasting crawfish I've ever eaten in my life. Idk if it's because they put their "sauce" on it as the guy taking my order was explaining, but, I didn't want it. My date was extremely rude and made me get it so I did. Terrible decision just like the date, lol.They don't have traditional butter, but garlic butter. That's NOT what I want. Some people HATE garlic and definitely don't want to be bombarded with it on the crawfish, then the butter, just wayyyy too much garlic.The crawfish tasted fishy which I've never gotten that experience the entire decade + I've been eating crawfish for. The lady bartender is extremely sweet. Place is definitely a hole in the wall. Their fish tacos were good too but they don't have a sauce on top so it wasn't anything special.

I liked this place! My friend and I noticed it's beautifully garish, boat like exterior while driving to a bizarre timeshare presentation at West Oaks Mall & decided to stop at Paul's on the way back. It's colorful and fun, all types of seating inside and outside, complete with an upper level deck that unfortunately wasn't open at the time. It was a Thursday evening and there was live music performing for the small amount of people in attendance. The place is definitely divey and very casual. The service was absolutely stupendous by the bartender; she was so friendly, efficient and sweet. The other guy helping us out was funny and nice as well. The prices on the menu are more than reasonable, the frozen margaritas are only $3.50 and I heard they're strong but it was too cold for one. I settled on the hushpuppies and dozen oysters, half chargrilled and half "mexican style." The oysters were $22 which I find to be a complete steal. The hushpuppies were small but literally the best I'd ever had, crispy on the outside and so fluffy and almost creamy on the inside. The oysters were great too, I definitely preferred the chargrilled over the Mexican. Both were good but the chargrilled let the oyster shine and had more nuanced flavors while the Mexican ones were veryyyy cheese heavy, to the point of it overpowering the oyster. I would totally recommend this place & I'll be back if I ever find myself in this random neck of the woods.

After passing the glowing lights of this restaurant many times, i finally made my way in and it did not disappoint! The whole restaurant is vibrant, super divey and just the spot you would expect to have daily karaoke! We started off with the $3.75 house margaritas, they were strong and good! Next we got the oyster sampler and it was DELICIOUS! If you ever pass by, stop a minute and grab something to drink or eat. Paul is quite the conversationalist and you start to understand how this place has been open since the 80s. So happy we finally stopped by to try it.

This place is so underrated. The food was just awesome and the place is so chill. I loved it! Great service.

This was a very bad experience and would never go back. Service was extremely slow like they forgot my order and food was not good. The fried fish was over cooked and shrimp were very small. I left my credit card and called to confirm and was told I could pick card up at the front. When I came to get my card the owner was there and acted like he knew nothing and I'd have to return. He was rude and totally unhelpful. I left my address and was called later that night I would have to return to pick it up because they didn't have a stamp to mail it to me. Will never return and closed my credit card. Hard to see how they stay in business.
