Pier 61 - Stafford

They charge almost $2 extra when you use a credit card. That seems excessive to me. The food is tasty it's just hard to swallow the extra $2.

My wife and I have swung by here more than a few times after the owner invited us to come try them out. He'd really done an impressive revamp of the place it looks a lot nicer and cleaner than it did before. On our first visit, we tried the tempura appetizer and crawfish. Both were outstanding. The crawfish were decently sized for so early in the season, the spice was just the right amount, and the garlic butter sauce literally made it finger licking good. The tempura appetizer was no slouch either it was a solid mix of shrimp tempura, vegetables, and onion rings. On our second visit, we tried a collaboration effort a po'boy featuring chopped brisket from a local BBQ place. The sandwich was clearly still a work in progress (we were only the third and fourth people to try it), but the sides were well worth the wait. On our most recent visit, we tried more traditional po'boys, as well as their gumbo and etoufee. All around, everything was stellar. It was enough food that we ended up having enough for lunch the following morning. The only real knock on this place is that they really need to work on their speed of service. On our first visit, things were great until they started to get busier (maybe five tables worth of people came in) and then we kind of got ignored going forward. The to go orders take forever too one visit, it took 40+ minutes to get fried fish and French fries. On another visit, it took 30+ minutes for po'boys. The good thing is that the quality is worth the wait.

Beautiful people, the restaurant was very clean and the food was amazing. FYI y'all, it's BYOB...we stayed over 4 hrs.

Some good food here! My friend got the boil and he loved it! I got the pho and shrimp plate. It was quiet inside and we got our food promptly. Taking the family next time!

The crawfish are small. They are stingy with corn and potatoes. If you want more you have to pay more. The service is horrible. If you want good food go somewhere else.
