I’ve been eating here for a few years now and can’t believe I’ve never written a review! The food is consistently great, every visit. I order the grilled seafood plate. It has a grilled redfish fillet, 4 scallops, and 4 jumbo grilled shrimp. It also comes with mixed veggies, and your choice of dirty rice or a baked potato. You also get a choice of a salad or cole slaw. All of this for $26.99 is a deal to me. Everything I’ve ever eaten here is great. Pictures is the Salmon plate, and the 3 piece catfish plate with a baked potato. I also have the fried calamari pictured. All delicious! The service has always been great as well as the atmosphere.

Portions were huge. We were in from out of town and not many non-fast food options. I was skeptical because the lot was not full and it wasn't very busy inside. Also not very exciting to walk into. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Service was fast. Food was very good. Baked potato was cooked perfectly and the salad was fresh enough to really stand out.

Kristen, she was our server, and she was GREAT. Ask for her The food was freaking awesome. The shrimp is Texas sizes. We tried alligator also was yummy the first time. The husband had chicken fried steak was yummy. Tea is fresh and good. It was 75 dollars for everything and so worth it. Very clean, calm atmosphere.

We have been driving through Taylor for years and never knew this place existed as it sits back a bit off the main road. Came around 8pm on a Saturday and it was pretty dead, they were clearly doing closing duties and cleaning so was skeptical on what we were going to get. Greeted right away (points)!!! We ordered 2 cups of seafood gumbo as appetizers. Not only did it come out piping hot, it was chuck full of a delightful mix of seafood, the shrimp were so tender and the roux was perfect with seasoning and thickness. Probably one of the best I have had. We ordered grilled salmon, grilled shrimp and scallops and a chicken fried steak. All fresh and yummy. Salads were chilled and fresh with homemade ranch dressing (more points)! All the seafood was fresh and seasoned and cooked just right. The plates came with seasoned vegetables and they were also very very good! Cannot complain about a single things except for the fact we didn’t find it sooner. We were hesitant since our last couple Taylor restaurant experiences have been pretty bad, especially the 2nd Street Station in Taylor where we literally had roaches (plural) crawling up the walls and over our feet, no exaggeration and were told “they’re water bugs not roaches” ?????? Difference? Thank you Texas Bay for giving us a place to eat when we drive through again!
