Mike's Seafood — Restaurant in Texas

I stopped here about a week ago because I was craving some shrimp fried rice and I hadn't eaten here in a while, so I thought I would stop by and patronize them. However when I started to scan over the menu, I saw crawfish fried rice and I thought that sounded delicious. So, I switched from shrimp fried rice to crawfish fried rice and I'm glad I did.

Upon arrival, I was greeted by two young ladies who welcomed me in. I didn't get their names but they appeared to be high school age. I was impressed by how they handled me professionally and they were well-mannered. I inquired about the crawfish rice, asking them both if they've tried it before and if it's good or not. Both girls said they had tried it, and that it's delicious, and they really liked it. After that, I was highly convinced to give it a try. They took my order, asked for my name, and informed me that there would be a ten minute wait time.

When my order was ready, they called my name and it was ready in ten minutes as promised. If I hadn't been in a hurry, I would have dined in. The place wasn't too busy and it was really nice and quiet with a few TV monitors along the walls for entertainment.

When I got in my car to leave, I couldn't wait to get home to try the rice because of the tantalizing seafood aromas floating in the air. So, I opened it and took a peek. Why did I do that? OMG, I had to take a bite right there in the parking lot. It looked so appetizing and inviting, lol. I literally was sitting in the parking lot in my truck going in on that Crawfish fried rice, forgetting that I was in a hurry. It was absolutely delicious, a little heavy on the salt, but still delicious. The seafood flavors were evident in each and every scrumptious bite. Also, it was extremely plentiful with crawfish, almost to the point where there was more crawfish to rice ratio. They were not stingy with the crawfish at all, which is a surprise because most seafood places will stiff you by giving you 20 pounds of rice and five pieces of shrimp, lol. Not to mention, I purchased a medium size Crawfish Fried Rice but it was so much rice and crawfish, enough to feed at least three to four people as a side dish. I can just imagine what their large fried rice looks like. Geez!

Overall, this establishment has some great tasting seafood dinners and a clean dining area. Customer service is really good. Like I mentioned previously, the two young ladies that waited on me were greeting each customer as they entered the restaurant. They were friendly and welcoming. The prices are pretty reasonable as well. I paid $11 for a medium size crawfish fried rice and it was well worth it. In the past, I've had their shrimp fried rice which was also delicious and plentiful. They also have lime pepper wings on the menu which are incredibly mouthwatering and tantalizing. The fried oysters are as equally delicious and fried to perfection! They're definitely a must-try item. I highly recommend this...

I was a regular customer at the original place on Hwy 6 when I lived in Alief years ago. I got excited when I found out there would be another location opening near me in Cypress. I couldn't wait for them to open. I finally got a chance to go there this past Tuesday (6/30). I ordered 2pc Catfish, 6 shrimp with fried rice. The young lady who took my order was very nice, polite and efficient. Food didn't take long to be prepared & it smelled soooo good. As I drove I couldn't wait to get home and dive into all the goodness I know was awaiting my taste buds!!!! Get home...open the container and the smile on my face just vanished!!!!! Soooo disappointed when I saw my 2 pieces of Catfish was actually 1 fillet that had been cut down the middle to make it 2 pieces. This is totally unacceptable and unfair! I wasn't going to complain because I still enjoyed my food. I decided to call and ask about the pieces and find out if this was a 1-time "mistake"....or if this is their general practice. So I called right before placing this review. A young lady answered and I asked to speak to a manager. She says okay and puts me on hold. A few seconds later a lady picks up (who happens to sound just like the other one). She listens to what I had to say and then responds by telling me that is the way it comes and if the customer doesn't ask for "The American Catfish"....which is bigger....but most customers don't know to ask. I stated to her well it's not noted on your menu, and in my opinion deceitful. I won't say that I will never go back, but I will make sure if I order Catfish again....to specify I want the whole fillets. Paying almost $12 for 1 piece of fish (and 6 shrimps) is a bit much. Mike's ya'll gotta...
