LeStourgeon Seafood Company - (Near Cottonwood Shores, TX)

T god One of my favorite places to visit when in town. Ive tried several different items on the menu and have not been disappointed yet. The location was not far from the hotel or work area. If you order the cheese stix heads up they are huge! Definitely recommend the mushrooms and the hamburger and cheeseburger!

Project Lemming When have you ever seen a 4.5 rating for a place to eat INSIDE of a gas station? Well, let this be your first! We were looking for a place to eat fried fish yesterday for my father-in-law & saw this place on a Google search that had excellent reviews. The good experience begins with meeting David, the owner & chef, at the counter. He is friendly, helpful & loves to talk about Louisiana cooking. He is excited about it. You can’t beat food from someone who cooks that is passionate about what they serve. When he told me about his generational history of family chefs cooking for famous places in New Orleans I knew this had to be good. The menu is not extensive as yet but more dishes are added seasonally and still more will be in time. He just came out of a food truck & is still growing. I ordered Mardi Gras Pasta which was comprised of a lot of shrimp, juicy chicken, & a Louisiana brand sausage on top of pasta covered with a rich creamy sauce with lots of seasoning & flavor. Enough for 2. My wife got the Fried Fish & Grits. I’ll get back to the fish in a minute. Let’s talk grits. I’m known for making my Mama’s recipe & am asked to make it by everyone who has had breakfast at our house. I love her grits, the taste & memories it brings. It’s a Southern thing. David’s grits, however, were so much better than mine. They’re good enough to stand on their own as an entree. There are flavors in it that I can’t identify but would love to duplicate. Amid the sea-sized portion of grits was a large filet of Fried Fish described below. The plate was big enough to share & my wife reluctantly did. Our final dish was Fried Fish which was an option of the menu item that could have included shrimp. The filets were a generous portion of large, juicy, tender, delicately battered & fried fish that rivaled any place I’ve ever had it. Of course it was seasoned like you grew up with, that is if you grew up in Louisiana. Definitely big enough to share but only if you like the other people at your table and even then…maybe not. Oh yeah, we got a side order of Gambino’s friend bread toasted with butter. What’s a “Gambino’s”? It’s a famous bakery in New Orleans with REAL French bread. David has it brought in. Such a fine detail! This was the best meal I can remember having in a styrofoam box which meant taking home the leftovers (and there were plenty) was a snap. High points: Louisiana-style cooking, out-of-the-ordinary dishes, HUGE portions you can share, & meeting David the chef/owner. Low points: …I’ll have to get back to you if I can think of any.

yarely rojas The food was delicious, very flavorful. The sushi was very tasty. I ordered the steak, the dish was savory. We enjoyed the tea, I believe it was vanilla. It complimented the pastries which were very cute and unique. I loved the floral bee theme. The service was wonderful, they made the birthday experience very special for my freind.

Rafael Hernandez Jr. The place was crowded but able to hear what anyone in table seats were able to understand. This is the best Mexican food I have eating. Table service was excellent. Go go trays were offered by waiter. Checked several times to ensure all was taken care of. He, the waiter,,was always smiling as other staff members. The place was extreme clean. Parking area was clean. Building decorations brought the place to live in this situation. I plan to go here often. Prices were low. Amazing was the atmosphere. You could chat and eat with comfort with those who were with you. We had a party of 11. This place was very roomy. Food was hot! Restroom was very clean. Floors are very clean everywhere!

Fonzy_RgV (Dark Knight_956) Hadnt heard about this hidden gem until a family member from Austin came to the RGV and told me about it through her friend channels. Wait was not long, food came out fast and very delicious. It was a party of three and we each ordered different chilaquiles to get a taste of the variety. The food was very flavorful and tasted homemade as if "la jefa" was back their running her culinary magic. I ordered a michelada and it tasted basic but the presentation was great. If they flared up the flavor of the miche mix a bit it would pair perfectly with their dishes. My wife loved the mimosas and the various options. I gave the service 4 stars because our server seemed rushed and a bit bothered to serve. It really didnt bother us because everything else was perfect. We will definitely be coming back to try some of the other amazing dish options this establishment has to offer. Im glad restaurants like these are part of Brownsville now. It shows city growth and variety.
