Tip: order the oysters, catfish, crawfish, or anything else on the bar menu during happy hour. Owners Dan and Kyle have come a long way since I met them at 8 years old, and then high school at SJCP.
- Excellent! Dinner salad to start, soft shell crab appetizer w/ glass of Mumm Rose, ribeye & potato entrée w/ Silver Oak cab, & key lime cheesecake dessert w/ tawny port.
Wonderful happy hour, Blake was attentive and informative. Best oysters we have ever had in Houston. Seasonal menu had lots of tempting affordable dishes, we indulged and had the Pablo Crab soup.
Lilly AfshariMarch 25, 2013The Oysters Kyle are surprisingly yummy. Similar to mussels in white wine, butter, herbs, and garlic (Provençal) served up North, however, the meatiness of the Gulf oysters are so delicious.
GabrielaMarch 15, 2017Cold boiled shrimp are served in this amazing spicy seasoning sauce. Never seen anything like it. I want to go back and try more!

Robyn PassMarch 5, 2014Get the Oysters Dan! Indulgent, but split and feel virtuous. Oysters with lump crab on top? Yes, please.

Vicki TruongJune 21, 2011$5.25/doz oysters are the bomb. Gumbo, not so much. Whoever said they were the best in Houston is on crack. Not chunky enough, weird dark brown color, super salty, also had this potent bitter flavor.
Fatih OzkentliOctober 25, 2013Calamari was excellent, desserts were delicious, however, the entree was not presented good enough.The server assigned to us was horribly rude and offensive!he was aggressive while taking the orders..
Karla RJuly 21, 2011The trout is awesome but the crab Danton is to live for. I will try the gumbo next time.
Sandie LeeNovember 20, 2010Their oysters on the half shell beat any I've had in the Galveston / Kemah area this year!
Andrea PrigmoreAugust 21, 2010Someone talked about the gumbo, it's good but a bit salty.... I do love the buffalo bayou oyster shooters though!
MJ CourchesneDecember 6, 2009Tasty seafood-definitely go for the regional Gulf fare, beautifully wood-smoked flavors!
Kyle Blue Poetry-BlogAugust 9, 2013First and only time there for my girlfriend's birthday. Both manager and owner treated us like shit

"The butterfly exhibit is great and I've always been a fan of the planetarium. Seeing Lois (the corpse flower) was anticlimactic, though I do enjoy my "Bring on the Funk" button."
