I'm really glad we stopped here on our way to Galveston. It was recommended by a coworker and definitely good reason! It was my first time trying fried softshell crab and it was very good! My husband got the chicken fried steak, which I don't normally like, but it was also really good. Also a really nice view! I love their pond.

We stopped for a midday break on a long drive to the coast and were glad we did. All the dishes were excellent and well presented. The service polite and friendly. The grilled shrimp lunch nicely seasoned, the fried frog's legs tender and tasty and the fried catfish good too.

We were making our way back from Rockport to the Houston area and decided to stop for dinner. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff was most welcoming, courteous and helpful. The atmosphere was very released and laid back. The kids really enjoyed feeding the koi, catfish, turtles and ducks before and after dinner. We also enjoyed refreshing ice cream next door at the candy shop. Highly recommend.

Awesome place. Food was really good. The staff was fabulous. A bunch of younger staff that seems to really enjoy being there. Outside lakes to feed catfish entertained the kids and great candy store next door. First restaurant with some real personality I’ve been to in a long time. Highly recommended!!

Service was excellent! I forget his name but he is a blonde headed young guy. He was detail oriented and represented Pinchers well. As far as the food is concerned it was delicious, I’ve been wanting to go to a place that serves a boil without me having to one and they delivered just that. I believe there was more on that boat than advertised and that’s why I give it a 5/5! We will be back again!

Crayfish taste great. Ask server what flavor they had. She said no flavor just how it comes. Kind of wanted to walk out at that point. But let me tell u my crayfish addicts the flavor is a must try no added butter or seasoning needed. Very good and the crab legs perfectly cooked. Everything delicious except the water
