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

Shrimp. Sante Fe. Jalapenos. Gooey Jack cheese. Succulent Shrimp. Beautifully Bacon-wrapped. Crisped to perfection. Dipped in homemade ranch. Dipped in cocktail sauce. Peel-and-eat shrimp. A whole bucket. I will never be able to pass Buzzard Billy's when driving from Austin to Dallas again.

Ughhh. Not only was the service slow, but my daughters chicken was so raw it was still purple. The bathrooms are disgusting and we will NEVER go back. Drove 2 hours for seafood and we got awful awful food. Manager tried to compensate with ice cream....hardly enough to excuse raw purple chicken.

The food here use to be superb. It's definitely not what it used to be. The appetizers were good and the mixed drinks are watered down. The service is horrible.

Food was really good! We ordered a pasta dish and oysters on a half show. The server was not on top of things though. After waiting 30 minutes for our food, the waitress forgot to order my food and had to wait another 15 minutes. She forgot my husbands drink refill and I never got one. Be ready to wait but the food is amazing!

Excellent food! The menu seems to be more condensed now than it was a few years ago. I remember then getting a platter that had blackened catfish with seafood gumbo, and andouille sausage served on a huge bed of red beans and rice. Back then, many of the items on the menu had a choice of either a smaller lunch entree, or a larger dinner entree for a slightly higher price. When I ordered the large dinner entree, there was an extremely large portion of red beans an rice that was literally impossible to finish. The slightly les... read more

After reading some of the reviews, we were a little afraid of trying this place. But we did! Service was good and no wait time. I had shrimp Gabrielle and it was very good! My friend had blackened grilled shrimp. She liked it. There's several little things that could be changed to make my rating better. But.. we would probably go back.
