About this business

We're a fun and funky family restaurant on the banks of the Brazos River specializing in Cajun and Creole cooking, we're happy to keep it spicy or make it milder if that's your preference. We've been voted the best seafood in town. We serve hot boiled crawfish and fresh oysters on the half shell when they're in season. Awesome pastas, burgers, and salads with lots of other options for people that don't eat seafood. We also have a full bar and a great beer selection. Be sure to ask for "duck bread" and feed the river wildlife... read more

The food was delicious and the service was great. It did take a while to get the food but well worth the wait. Only complaint was that I ordered the mahi mahi tacos and the server came back and told me they had it blacked out so I had to change my order. I guess they ran out :( The Cajun combo was great tho

I've been coming to this place even when it used to be downtown and I still love going to it I get great service never have an issue always be coming back even if I have an issue I'll still be coming back because it's good food I don't care about anything else as long as I get to eat I don't care how long I'll wait or what I love the food. A true customer will keep coming back no matter what so stop bitching.

We had a super time tonight at Buzzard Billy's! It was my cousin's 74 year old birthday and we had 5 in the party. They were very busy, but they treated us like royalty! The hostess seated us in a great location. Our waitress was named Megan and she was very prompt and polite. When we have out of town guest, we always try to bring them to Buzzard Billy's, because we have never been disappointing! All the waiters and waitress are very good, but Megan went the second mile to make our Banana Fosters and a special birthday tray!... read more

First time I've been here. Came in by myself and was offered open seating at the bar. Ordered my salad. I asked for a menu and a drink menu, which i thought would have tipped of my server that i was there to dine in. Got my check before my food which I thought was odd. After waiting 20 minutes I got my salad to go which I didn't want. I wanted to dine in. Server apologized but never once checked on me to see how I was doing after I got my food (because I ate my food there even though it came out to go which isn't what I said... read more

Much improved from a year ago. Better service and attitude. The bartender was great. Food came quick and was hot and delicious. As a non-smoker I wish the outdoor seating wasn't a smoking section but oh well. We'll be back.
