CK's Seafood Baytown (Baytown Seafood) — Restaurant in Baytown

pretty bad experience at Baytown Seafood on Highway 146 in Baytown, Texas. Three times I've been here and three times they've messed up my meal. The first time the mahi mahi wasn't cooked all the way through. It was ice cold in the center. How can it be ice cold when it was grilled? Probably because it wasn't grilled but frozen and microwaved is my guess. Then the waitress told someone I know that my date was drunk and falling down. She was not drunk. We had not been drinking alcohol. She simply lost her balance getting out of the booth and reached out to catch herself. The next time I went the entire meal without a drink. The waitress took my drink order but never returned with it. My meal arrived; still not drink. She promised to bring it out. I had the spicy crawfish ettuffe...so I really needed something cool. When I complained, she raced back to get it but never reappeared with it. She brought it when she brought me the check. Then she had the audacity to ask me if I needed change (I gave her two $20 bills to pay for a $29.00 ticket). She actually thought I was going to leave her $11 tip on a $29 bill after she had failed to bring me a drink all evening. Incredible! The last time I ate there, this past Sunday, the waitress brought out my appetizer with my meal. I asked her to bring it out first, as it was an appetizer. She assured me she would. I told her the last time I was there they served my appetizer with my meal. She promised she would deliver it first. But she didn't. And so my meal got cold while I ate a bowl of seafood gumbo. Not that it would have made much of a difference, the fried shrimp was tasteless and the the French fries were not only cold but limp by the time I got to them. I will not eat...

We go to the location on 146 near I-10. The food consistently tastes the same, no surprises from one visit to the next. The menu stays the same, as well. Selections are fairly basic, nothing fancy here. The food is inexpensive depending on what you choose. The sizes of soft drinks are large, which is very nice for those of us who drink lots of fluids during the day. We didn't have to get frequent refills. This Sunday when we visited, we were told we would not receive salads with our meals due to the recent lettuce contamination. (I didn't pay the check so I don't know if we were given any money off the prices of the meals since salads "come with" the meals yet none were provided. Just an idea to be considered.) We were also told they only had limes, no lemons, because lemons are currently too expensive. Living on a tight budget, I get not being able to afford things. No big deal, and thank you for being honest. We arrived after church (we release early so get to restaurants prior to other diners heading to eat after services conclude). We were seated immediately, were served drinks right away. The restaurant filled up quickly. There didn't appear to be any more servers added to take care of the larger crowd. Our server did a good job keeping up with us; we didn't have lags in service. We like going to Baytown Seafood, will continue to patronize the restaurant as long as we live here/it's open. Usually, the visits are nice. Occasionally, there are long wait periods for being served throughout our meals. No...

I have been there many times before and had good experiences. That said it has been a long time since I was there last. Tonight I ordered the steamed blue crab plate. My expectation was that I would get a nice big tasty plate of Texas blue crab. Having spent most of my youth fishing the gulf coast I'm fairly familiar with what comes out of our waters. I recognized immediately that what I got was nothing local. What I got was a bunch of crabs that were imported from Australia ( I looked it up at home) that look very similar to our crab. What gave it away was the extra long claws with white spots on them. They were over cooked and flavorless but they tried to make up for it by drowning them in Tony Chachere's. The crab had obviously been cooked, frozen, thawed, and recooked. The shells were so rubbery it was like trying to crack open a soda straw. I finally gave up and just ate my potato. The staff was polite but unprofessional. As I walked to the bathroom to wash my hands one of the waitstaff accidentally stepped in front of me. Instead of saying "excuse me" she said "my baaaad". Our waitress kept coming by not to see if we needed anything but to see if I was done with my chewy crabs so she could bring our check. I also watched as they turned away a customer at 9:15ish because they were closing at 10:00. I will not be returning...
