Floyd's Cajun Seafood and Texas Steakhouse

So on Saturday I spent the better part of the day perfoming maintenance on both of our cars. So, needless to say I was too tired too cook. :-)

We decided to go to Floyd's Cajun Seafood and Texas Steakhouse, a place we've driven by numerous times yet always forget about when we decide to go out to eat.

We visited the Pearland/Friendswood location which I see is not even listed on their website yet. When we first pulled in we thought it might have been more of a bar with food instead of a restaraunt with a bar. So I went in and scoped the place out before unstrapping the little ones from the car and dragging them in. It was both a restaraunt and a bar so I went back out and grabbed the family.

We were early for dinner so the place wasn't very busy. But I did notice that it was very clean and very nicely decorated. We were seated quickly and our waitress took our drink order almost immediately.

The menu is very expansive...almost too much for my wife. But even I bounced back and forth between about 3 different items. Eventually we decided on the following:

The kids shared a FISH BITES kids meal. This was 5 or 6 large chunks of fresh catfish lighted breaded in cornmeal and fried served on top of a mound of fries that could serve a family! My 5 year old loved the fish! The fries...well....DUH!

My wife, who admittedly, wasn't very hungry ordered the red beans and rice. She said it was "cold" -- not cold like fridge cold, but not hot. She said it had decent flavor but she wouldn't order it again. She also had a piece or two of the girls catfish.

I went with the half and half combo (fried shrimp and crab fingers). Again, this dish was served on a MOUND of fries. Yay! (they were fresh and seemed hand cut). This combo came with several (I forgot to count them) butterflied fried shrimp that were lightly breaded in a spicy breading - Cajun like -- DUH. The crab fingers, Blue Crab claws, were also lightly breaded and fried and THEY. WERE. DELICIOUS! The shrimp were par for Texas -- good but not spectacular. The crab fingers were a nice change of pace. Something new. My wife and I also shared a side of Dirty Rice. It was good, nice flavor but not overly spicy.

The dinner menu was a little higher priced than we'd like to pay (BUDGET! BUDGET! BUDGET!) but not so over priced that we won't return. The lunch menu seemed more wallet friendly. I'd say we will more than likely return.
