Waterfront - Bay City

Their flounder is A#1 Delicious I love how they fry it , love the way it?s cut cross cross on top, so you just use your fork to pull a piece off and eat it. They also have stuff flounder and it looks fabulous too. Great waitresses. You get a cute littleloaf of bread . Salad has lettuce tomatoes freshly made carrots too, so it?s not served limp it?s crispy . It has some higherprices, but since the food is fabulous it?s worth it. I think the only thing is the shrimp is a bit skimp.

I visited this restaurant for the second time and both times I ordered the fried flounder. The first time was on a weekday for lunch and the flounder was perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. However, during my second visit, the restaurant was much busier and the fish was overcooked and lacking in taste. I was slightly disappointed, but I understand that sometimes things don't go as planned. I will give them another chance in the future, but will make sure to visit during a less busy time. The staff is attentive and the air conditioning is the coldest in all of Matagorda. If you get cold easily, be sure to bring a sweater or light jacket.

The atmosphere was fantastic! Our waitress was amazing. We ordered fried and grilled shrimp with grilled vegetables. Delicious! We enjoyed watching the barges pass by. We had a great time and will definitely return!

I have had some less than perfect dining experiences in the past, but the Waterfront restaurant takes the cake for the worst experience without even dining. My wife and I arrived at the restaurant to find the dining room 75% full. We were told to sit wherever we liked, so we chose a table. Despite there being plenty of wait staff, at least 2 different ladies were serving the other tables around us. I couldn't help but notice a woman sitting alone in the corner, enjoying a glass of wine. Two waitresses seemed to be completely absorbed in conversation with her, ignoring the hustle and bustle of the restaurant around them. On the other hand, the waitresses almost seemed to intentionally ignore us as they walked by. After over 25 minutes of being ignored, we decided to leave. Not a single staff member acknowledged our departure. We have dined all over the country and have never had an experience like this. It truly felt like we were invisible. I wish there was a negative rating because that would be 5 stars for this place. The photo shows one of the waitresses chatting with the lady drinking wine. Congratulations to her, she seemed to have a 5-star experience. But at what cost? I truly hope she isn't the owner.

Service and food was both excellent!!!! We ordered a plate of 2 soft shell crabs for an appetizer (even tho it was a dinner plate) and they were awesome!!! Had a combo plate of shrimp and oysters and they were the best I've ever had!!! Most placesovercook theirs, but it was fresh and fluffy!! Fried perfectly!!! Th salad was sple but very fresh and a nice selection ofdressing!!! Staff came by frequently even tho it was a full house!!! I'll definitely be back!!
