Laguna Madre Seafood Company — Restaurant in San Antonio

Worked there for 2 years and last month I walked out and quit. Best decision ever, the work environment is super toxic not just the employee wise but manager wise as well. While the store is slow would not recommend working there. The employees need an attitude adjustment. Was up at the cashier taking an order when a coworker had literally pushed me aside to snag the mic that is used to call back certain foods for tables. When there was a perfectly good mic on the other register right when I was in the middle of helping a customer. The workers in the back barely treat the cashiers like actual people with feelings. Brought this up MULTIPLE times to DIFFERENT managers. And not once did I feel like anything was done to fix this. Was working on silverware once and had an employee tell me to stop what I was doing and wipe down the screens. Even when I politely told him I would take care of that after I had finished folding the silverware. He instead took it upon himself to grab a completely soaked rag and aggressively wipe the screens. Me and another coworker were just baffled by this because it was in front of many people. Last month when it was busy and no one else was able to help me with certain requests I was handling stuff on my own, when I had to bring out an order to customers and when I had asked them if they wanted any sauce or anything else I could get for them they said yes. And when I had went to my area where we keep the sauces I had noticed there was none left, and so I ran to grab some sauces for the customer which didn’t take longer then 10 seconds. And I was later written up for this, not even going to regret it. Didn’t want the customer to feel like I had ignored their request to get them sauces or have them wait for a few minutes for when a busser finds the time to bring me up the sauces. Which would take even longer, so that is why I when I went to go place the tray back I grabbed the sauces real quick. Even after explaining this to the manager they were still going to write me up, and I told them I wasn’t going to sign this form, so I grabbed my stuff and left. Found a new job the following week and have been feeling much better, and it feels like a certain weight has been lifted from my chest. If a female manager tells you I got fired, no I did not. I had already told her I had quitted the day I was written up. You can’t fire someone who already quit. Anyways with the subtle gaslighting from both the managers and the employees wouldn’t recommend working there.

Side note: Food: 5/5 Atmosphere...

Save your time and money !!I don't no what's going on with Bill Millers/ Laguna Madre but their service and food have declined significantly Management is terrible which leads to terrible service and terrible food !So here it goes When we arrived their already was a man complaing cause he ordered online and they couldn't find his order thenthe cashier is standing their while a line starts to form doesn't acknowledge us and keeps standing thier listen to thier conversation so she finally decided to take out order so we go to sit down the tables were dirty .So after awhile of waiting I see people after us get their food and while thier was a guy waiting to pick up a order and he sat there about the whole time still waiting so I go up to ask about my food the cashier doesn't acknowledge me the manager in the purple shirt was right thier totally ingnored me like he had a look on his face like don't even ask so I finally get his attention and the other manager with the tattoos cooking told him thier holding our order because I ordered a back potato so I said it's ok I will take rice cause it has been a long while and the rest of the food was just sitting thier so he gives me the food with no rice or no potato and with an noticable attitude the manager in the purple shirt shoves the tray in my hand so I sit down and he finally brings the potato and it is still raw inside so I take it back and the same purple shirt manger looks at me extremally bothered pulls it and the other cup of butter and cheese out of my hand and calls me the B word under his breath I said I'll just take rice so he gives me cportion of rice barley filled so I sit down to finally eat and my older brother starts to choke on the hushpuppies that were to hard and under cooked shrimp.he was really chocking so I finally was able to help him dislodge it and I go to get more soda to clear his throat the gurl never even looks at me so I go pour my soda into his cup so I start start to eat and the rice was very cold like it the fridge cold and the Green beans were real dark the hushpuppies were super hard at this point I tried to eat what I could and we left I was disgusted disappointed and angry then we're getting in the car a lady was sitting thier waiting on her food for 40 mins and just then they brought her food.This visit was was one for the books I haven't even resolved the issue with Bill Millers and now Laguna times have...

If you blindfolded me and sat me down to eat at this Bill Miller's re-entry into the seafood restaurant market, I would not be able to tell it apart from the former Barnacle Bill's. And it seems to me to be a little more spartan version (in decor) of Sea Island.

The lunch specials are good and plenty with a crunchy fried cod and medium battered shrimp, very similar to S.I. and maybe just a little cheaper. I detected an iodine flavor in the shrimp which is a good thing indicating it is from the Texas coast. Side dishes included cream corn, cole slaw, french fries, borracho beans, mac -n cheese and green beans. The cole slaw was decent with a hint of jalapeno pepper. The borracho beans were also spiced but had the flavor of black eyed peas rather than pinto beans. The mac 'n cheese was good albeit just a little dry. Some folks like theirs on the dry side.. I happen to like mine gooey with runny cheese.

As before, you also receive one slightly overdone round corn bread hush puppy and some not so bad garlic bread (which reminded me of the Texas Toast from Barnacle Bill's). The tartar sauce is where the meal falls down. That can make or break a fried seafood meal for me. Unlike the very tasty tartar from Sea Island or even Luby's (the two best tartar sauces in town in my opinion), L.M.'s sauce is on the sour side. Definitely not a favorite.

Otherwise, the food was good, the restaurant was clean, the service fast and friendly. The only other downfall for me was difficulty in getting there when coming from east Ih10. Lots of traffic, lights and turns to navigate to get to the small but burgeoning fast food row on the west side of...
