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.
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 …
The food here was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere has a good vibe. I recommend this place if you’re looking to eat some good food

Would recommend Pinchers to …

It was great! Cute little place, really good food. Definitely will stop again, even if just getting food to go home! The candy shop …
We had the pleasure of eating lunch here on 6/1. We were greeted by two sweet young ladies. The restaurant had an ocean theme and the ambience is open and inviting. Seating options include booth, table and an outdoor area overlooking the pond filled with fish (you can feed them too). We ordered the Boil n Pot Special, Crawfish Etouffee …
