Pacific Seafood — Restaurant in San Leon

First of all...if you haven't been...go. Stop everything and go. We need to support this place to help them stay open.

I will say that when reading their menu, it didn't seem to really grab me...just typical seafood...nothing fancy. However absolutely everything we ordered (which was a lot) was awesome!!!!

My mother in law ordered the a dozen raw oysters ($15.99 a dozen!!)...these were HUGE. One was at least 6 inches long. I am not kidding. She also ordered a pacific cheese burger and fries, and she said it was perfectly cooked and seasoned well.

We started with a bowl of shrimp chowder ($6.99 for a huge bowl), which was really delicious...full of tiny shrimp, corn, carrots, potatoes etc. and topped with two large grilled shrimp with the tails on.

My hubby ordered the seafood pasta ($17.99). It was a huge plate that was stacked with all different kind of seafood, tomatoes, mushrooms etc. The sauce was light, more like a light scampi sauce. He loved it.

My daughter ordered the grilled salmon. It was served with grilled veggies, seasoned rice, and a really good lemon butter sauce. She really enjoyed it and didn't leave a bite of salmon on the plate.

And I ordered a dozen of the grilled oysters. Perfectly grilled with butter and parm cheese. They were huge. I had to cut them into pieces to eat them. Also was served with toasted bread pieces to slop up the oyster juicy goodness. I last had the prestige oyster at Pier 6 and found that these at Pacific seafood were just as good and perhaps even a little better in my opinion...and the price point was great! ($8.99 a half dozen)

Service was...

We love to try new local restaurants. We always pass Pacific Seafood on 146 & 21st Street in San Leon on our way to Pier 6 each week. It is a huge restaurant and the parking lot almost always looks empty. We always say, we should stop and try it. We read the reviews and they all seemed good. Well yesterday we happened to be in the area and decided to stop for lunch. We are really glad we did. The food was fantastic and so was the service. This place is completely overlooked and that is so unfortunate. The catfish and shrimp were fried to perfection. The Grilled Oysters were superb (and we are very picky when it comes to our grilled oysters) They server was super sweet and her service was fantastic. The restaurant was very clean and spacious. Lot's of room for bigger parties. It's sad that it was so empty. I would hate to see this business fail because not enough people know about it or give it a chance. Too many mom & pop businesses fail because of lack of advertising or because people don't give them a chance. This is clearly a family owned business tucked away in San Leon. Trust me.....give this restaurant a try. They offer a great Lunch menu. $10.99 for their fried Seafood Trio (Catfish, Shrimp & Oysters) served with onion rings and Coleslaw. It was delicious! Their Dinner menu and prices looked fantastic too. We will def go back again. Let's help support local businesses and enjoy a great meal at the same time. Give Pacific Seafood in San Leon a try. You won't be...

I've heard the seafood here is really great! I've seen pictures others have posted and it all looks really delicious!!! But, on this day I came here with them for lunch and we all had burgers on our minds! Based on their recommendations I ordered the Jalapeno and Onion Burger and had bacon put on it all the way. The waitress asked how I'd like my patty cooked and I elected medium! I ordered Fries with mine with sweet tea. Everyone else pretty much ordered the same as I did! It wasn't very long that they were bringing our orders out and the burgers were huge and really looked delicious at first sight!!! Not only that, they were as good as they looked!!! They brought the mayo and mustard out in containers to add how you liked. I used both. We all really enjoyed our lunches. A couple had to take about half of theirs with them for later!!! The inside of Pacific Seafood is really nice and has a very nice ambience to it. We went on a Thursday and it was just past the lunch hour, so it wasn't really busy. But I'm making plans to come back and try the seafood I've heard so much about! It was a very enjoyable dining experience! I usually take pictures, but we were all starving and I totally neglected to get a few of my burger because it really was very...
