The Fish Place

I'm from the area , never venture into la marque . Except for Simps lol. See this place across the street and heard food was good . Definitely a hole in the wall . Took my mom , she's a seafood lover . Food was very good . Got the seafood platter to try some things . Shrimp was good , hushpuppies were awesome and I'm not a bread guy . Never had fried red fish and omg , I'll def order again . Boudin ball was awesome , crab ball was amazing . Even the stuffed jalapeño was amazing . Idk what the above ladies are complaining about . It wasn't frozen stuff maybe the fries . You can tell everything was made with a little extra something . Unless they buy frozen goods idk about . Well good job . Oh , this is a seafood joint right . Bomb ass chips and salsa . Better than some Mexican places . Good job FishPlace ..... would've been 5 stars but bathrooms haven't been renovated since the 80s lol oh well . Food is great .

This seems to be a poopin' local watering hole. Someone recommended their food and drinks. I arrived here one day after the freak-weather in Texas with my five year old for dinner. I can only imagine what my face looked like upon opening the door. This is like a eatery/hole in the wall bar in the daytime, and a night club in the evening. All of the furniture and decor are old/used. Lots of tears in the seating. There seems to be three different bar spaces. No running water at the time (which should have been my cue to leave.) The waitress was very kind but she was having to wear many hats as they were understaffed. The food was aight- everything was fried. I wouldn't come back unless I was stopping on my way to party in Galveston for a pregame cocktail.

I'm a strong advocate of hole-in-the-wall restaurants. The Fish Place, however, isn't one of those places I'd tell anyone who would listen to check out.It's not the service. The waitress did her job. It's not the venue, which is a VFW hall, a honky tonk, and your uncle's rumpus room rolled into one. If you ask me, that's really cool. It's not the environment. Quintessential small town Texas through and through.My major disappointment? The grilled pork chop platter with red beans and rice. I expected the dish to be like how it's prepared in Cajun Country to the East, but I was sadly mistaken. The pork chop could've used some seasoning, and the red beans and rice was equally devoid of flavor. Not even hot sauce could provide some saving grace.Is it possible for me to return, try something new, and update this review with a more positive spin? Only time will tell.

The food here was amazing, and the portions were big (which I like). The crab was seasoned really well & the baked potato was awesome. They make their own Bloody Mary mix and it was so good. I really enjoyed the thinner roux in the gumbo. All in all the food and drinks were on point the service was a slow it seems like they need more servers on the floor. But other than that every was good.

With a huge menu, it's hard to decide what to eat here, but one you do decide you can count on the food being hot and fresh. And good. Remember, this isn't a fancy schmancy place--it's meant to be a fast food fish joint. And for that consideration, it's a great place to eat.We ordered a variety of dishes and tried both grilled and fried foods. The catfish is a little bland but fried, it tastes pretty good. The etouffe was tasty and full of flavor. The blackened redfish was really good. My daughter loves the fried okra and the crab balls. I love the boudin balls.We have ordered takout and delivery through door dash and the food is always packaged nicely and in quality containers that we keep afterward for a few uses. We highly recommend takeout if you aren't wanting to sit in the restaurant.For a hole in the wall fish place, this Fish Place is a great option when your whole family wants to eat and you don't know where to go because they have fish and shrimp and fried and grilled and chopped steak and hamburgers and all sorts of non-fish things to choose from too.I highly recommend trying them. To each their own, but I think you'll like it well enough to go back again like we have several times. The crab balls really alone are worth it.

Saw a lot of cars, heard music playing , decided to stop. Bartender was not a real bartender. I ordered a rum punch. She poured a half ounce of coconut rum in a 24 oz cup that she then filled with ice, cola, and tonic water. My rum punch was brown in color and tasted horrible. I didn't make a fuss. The line was long as the bartender was taking orders from what I deduct were her favorites as they cut the line and just shouted out their orders and she complied. Never mind the people who are patiently waiting in line. The owner right behind her not doing a thing about this. I ordered boiled shrimp. Thinking who can mess up boiled shrimp. Well they can. It took forever and it smelled and tasted like old mop water. I can go on about the restrooms, but if you are reading this, you can just imagine. This place needs to be shut down permanently. Absolutely disgusting.

I give this place a 5 star rating for 3 reasons. The food is always delicious. The service is friendly. The cost is fitting for what you are ordering.This is a hole in the wall (could use some work on the restrooms) that turns into a lounge at night. It looks like your typical dive bar. The last time I ordered the redfish and this time I ordered the catfish poboy. Perfectly fried and the bread does not get soggy. We also ordered the crab balls and oh my goodness they were heaven. I would highly recommend eating here if you are in the area.

The service was okay. I think we had a new waitress she forgot things and a young man came by every once and a while to check on us. The food was frozen seafood. What a shame, since we live here on the coast. The chips and salsa was un-eatable. I am giving a 2 for the backed potato and salad and the clean restaurant. I was really hoping this was going to be our go to seafood place. Raise the price if need be and serve fresh food.

Ordered a shrimp sandwich and the shrimp were hard couldn't even chew them and they were freezer burn. won't go there Shaun.

Stumbled upon this place and discovered a great little spot to have great food and good drinks. Plenty of TVs and music was excellent. Service and food was wonderful. Great customer service! Grace is awesome!!
