True Texas Boil House — Restaurant in Houston

We saw the sign of boiled crawfish and jumbo shrimps and was intrigued. As we were debating what to get, Mr. D opened the window and talked to us about what they had and gave us a sample. The boiled crawfish was delicious and very spicy. The spicy boiled jumbo shrimp was even better! The wedge fries were tasty- crispy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside. So we got 4 pounds of Crawfish and 1 pound of Shrimps. Since it was a Saturday and we bought 5lbs of boiled stuff, we got an extra 1 lb of boiled shrimp. Even though the crawfish was a bit small, it was absolutely delicious! We came back the following Wednesday for a Buy-One Get-One Fried order. Since we love fried whole fish, we ordered it. It wasn’t battered or floured so it wasn’t crunchy on the outside but we tore through it within 10 minutes. There was a lot of fresh tasty meat on the fish and satisfied our cravings. The gentleman at the window suggested we tried their other fried meals like fried chicken wings and fried catfish. The wings were dry and the catfish was small. The catfish I had that catfish tang. I’m not into it but others are. Overall, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the jumbo boiled shrimp were exceptional! There are 2 metal picnic tables in front of the windows under a tent. There are 2 fans help during this heat wave. Get it to-go if you if you order the boiled shrimps and crawfish. Having flies distracting you from your enjoyment is not...

I love love love this place. I stopped in last week while in town because I seen a huge sign with specials & thought I would give it a try. Best decision I made that day because they had chicken wing baskets on sale. It was $6 for 12 wings with a delicious side. (I got the corn.) I went back this week while back in Houston & was there on any fried basket for $6 day. Awesome deal... I got the fish & shrimp basket with two tasty sides. (I picked the fries & potatoes with a 16 oz drink for an extra $1.) The food was fresh & flavorful. Therefore, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a new seafood &/or chicken spot in south Houston because...

SOOO. I had been dreaming of this place because I live in San Antonio, and our HEB's don't have seafood boils consistently throughout the year. I order corn & potatoes in a boil bag with the seasonings and a side order of catfish. What I actually received was crawfish in with my potatoes & corn and NO CATFISH. No fuss. I order the catfish and received it at no charge. The catfish was excellent! The boil in a bag was NOT. I mean right down to the seasonings. I made sure to add this stop to my travels to Houston. I was disappointed. I have a lil more appreciation for my neighborhood HEB. The lil bit they...
