Jumbo Seafood

We go to Tyler 4-5 times each month and  pass by this restaurant.  We stopped recently and was pleasantly surprised.  My wife and I split the 12 count Jumbo shrimp and had more than enough.  We have not got shrimp this good since we left Houston.  Daughter and Grandson liked the food and they are very finicky!!!!

We were visiting friends in Tyler. They took us to a Jumbo Seafood. I had the crawfish gumbo. It was dark brown and tasty, but thin like a broth with just a few crawfish and nothing else--no okra, etc.  Their coleslaw was delicious and we wanted to know what made it so special. I had the soft shell crab that was over brown and too crispy. My wife shared one of her grilled red snapper fillets with me.  Both were good, but nothing special. The fried food did get good reviews from all who ordered that. We all shared fried calamari as an appetizer and it was excellent.  The grilled vegetables were very oily.

If I were to return, I would stick with the fried food.

I went last night for dinner and ordered the combo meal with jumbo shrimp and red snapper. The batter they used for the shrimp was crunchy n heavenly and the cornmeal crust for the fish was great. I agree with the 1st reviewer...the ettoufee n gumbo wasn't that great. I also got grilled vegetables n they were oily. Next time I'm going to get them steamed or get a salad instead. I'm definitely going back for their shrimp n fish for lunch today!!
