Dickinson Seafood Restaurant — Restaurant in Dickinson

We went to the restaurant to order 4 lbs of craw-fish (to go) not spicy. They told us it will be 20 minutes. So after we paid our order we told them we are coming back. So we came back and got our order. It would have been a nice experience except for 2 issues. First, the old lady at the counter did not tell us that if you order 5 lbs we get 1 lb free. We ask the old lady in the beginning (in a friendly chat) how many pounds should we order for six people (she answered "it depends" which was like, duh we know it depends... this would have been the best time for her to tell us about the 5+1 deal. But no... she was very quite about 5+1 deal. We ordered 4 pounds, paid, and left to do other stuff . When we came back to pick up our order that's when we saw their sign about the 5+1 deal. But you have to look at the sign long enough to figure out that they have a 5+1 deal. It wasn't written in bold and for sure was meant for unsuspecting customers like us to miss it. Not a good experience. That really upset me because we could have ordered 5 and get 1 pound free and each of us could have eaten 1 pound each. It was too late to ask for the 5+1 deal because we are very hungry and have to bring the food to Galveston which was a 30 minute drive. Second, we we got to eat the Craw-fish it was very spicy and we explicitly ordered not spicy and specially the corn was really spicy. I'm not impressed with their service at all. In my book,...

Dickinson Seafood Restaurant hit all the seafood cravings my best friend and I had. We live 4 1/2 hours away and coming down to the coast, you just have to have some fresh seafood, just gotta. We struggled coming to this restaurant, because on the menu it also has Chinese food and didn't think this was a true seafood restaurant; however, we would of missed out if we decided to go elsewhere. The food was absolutely fresh and fried to order. The shrimp was succulent, the cat fish was pull apart tender, the stuffed crab fantastic, boudin balls freaking awesome, the fried crab strings delicious, EVERYTHING was fresh fresh fresh and cooked the way it should be. Most of all, 'T' , our waitress was super informative, freaking awesome personality, knows everything about the food, had great advice on what we should of ordered. She recommended everything, which we were skeptical of, but I kid you not there is a reason she recommends everything, because everything is fantastic. T thank you for great customer service, keep up the...

I'm not sure what happened 1 month ago but these reviews don't match what we just experienced. I'm all for finding a mom and pops place to eat because they can be the best places sometimes but this one was terrible. The waitress was very nice and tried to make us feel welcomed. First of all the place was dead no one.was in there which should have been our first clue. But as the reviews say we didn't judge a book by its cover. We ordered a cheese burger and a fish plate. The soda was near flat, the burger yes it was big but it had a funny taste to it. Lettuce tomato and onion was on the side. The fish was ok didn't have much seasoning. The atmosphere was very dull and quiet. Table was leaning. I almost sent my food back and left but at this point I was so disappointed that i just said forget it and...
