Baytown Seafood and Bar

If you're not in ANY kind of a hurry, have NO where to be for the next ooooh I don't know, SEVEN hours, kids don't have bed times, you don't need to be at work the next morning, you have no shows you wanna get home to watch, etc.  Then yea, go ahead and come here.  Because the crabcakes, sausage Baudouin, and clam chowder are admittedly delicious.   BUT, if you want to be here for an hour or less (which I don't think is too much to freaking ask) then I wouldn't say the food is worth it.  Buncha damn sloths that work here, maaaan.  Took a good 15 minutes just to get our beer.  Another 4 hours for our crabcakes, then 2 hours after that we finally got the rest of our food.  Ok, oooobviously I'm exaggerating, but by time I left this place, I seriously felt like I had been stuck on stand by at the Oakland Airport for 2 days.  Let me just talk about the crawfish for a minute.  They were HUGE.  Like mini lobsters, really.  But the sauce they use to cook them in? Bleeeeeeeeck.  Probably just preference, but if you're like me and like the traditional crawfish seasoning, then you will likely hate the shit they put on these things.  To me, it was a waste of big ass crawfish.  It was tangy....Almost like a buffalo sauce?  I'm sitting here shaking my head "NO!" in disgust as I type this just recalling the flavor.  The potatoes were all mushy.  More like a mashed potato.  And the corn was SO marinated in the nasty sauce that I felt like I was biting into a sour candy rather than a piece of corn.  The waitress was nice...But again, a freaking sloth.  NO sense of urgency.  And might I add, there were probably FOUR tables in the entire restaurant.  NOT like it was 7pm on a friday night.  We ended up leaving our table and going to the front of the restaurant to ask for our check because we were tired of sitting there waiting.  And, if i'm keepin' it real,  I really wanted to get home to watch American Idol.   At the end of the day, the food was good, but not good enough to wait 4 days for.

Hey, how 'bout dem crawdads!  The best hot and spicy crawfish rivaling Louisiana restaurants. You can't stop eating and eating and eating!!! Washed it down with Bud Lite on draft. Highly recommend going on Friday night like we did with live music. Awesome upscale yet not stuffy ambiance.  We give this place two thumbs up!!

We stopped and had dinner here on Sunday.  Seafood was very good.  My wife had the fried shrimp and they came out really good.
I had the Shrimp Combo with 3 coconut shrimp, 2 bacon/jalapeno wrapped shrimp, shrimp etoufee and hushpuppies.  This was very good. We loved the hush puppies!
The salad looked like it wasn't the freshest. A little old but Ok.  

The seat backing on the booths were noticably dirty and there were crumbs on the floor, like they hadn't cleaned in several hours.   Were it not for that, I would have given them a 4 out of 5.

The food was good though!
