Pacific Seafood

This is definitely a hidden gem. We went there on a Sunday, after a memorial of life service, and were greeted by a young man who was smiling and very accommodating to the older people in our group. He was knowledgeable of the menu & the special was shrinp done 4 ways for $19.99. We ordered 3 specials to share & a catfish platter & my weird Aunt ordered chicken fingers. The special was AMAZING & the plating was nice. The catfish came with 3 fillets & fried onion strings (thats what I call them) and it was the best catfish my friend has ever had & he has eaten ALOT of catfish all over the states (he was truck driver for 60 yrs). The waiter was very attentive and funny(which we all needed). It was easy for the 7 of us to carry on a conversation with the whole table, even with the 5 hard of hearing older people. The food is amazing & we can't wait until we get to come back to town. And to the young man who waited on us "THANK YOU"!

Fresh seafood in a family friendly environment. We had the cobb salad with grilled shrimp, and the Pacific Platter with fried catfish, shrimp, oysters. The platter also came with cole slaw, fries and onion strings.If you're looking to escape the Kemah Boardwalk craziness and expense, drive a little further south for reasonably priced and fresh seafood.

The chicken and sausage gumbo was outstanding. Generous portions of meat, a gravy type rue, a little spicy, with steamed rice. My friend had Shrimp Alfredo. It came with a side of garlic bread. Service was great.I will be back.

My favorite seafood place!!!! Seriously everything here is AMAZING. So fresh, delicious, fantastic service, very clean, I mean I can’t say enough good things about this place!!! A must try!

We shared the blackened platter and fried platter. The hushpuppies were yummy too, I prefer real onion rings vs shoestrings. Overall flavor was good, and I would recommend! Little hidden gem. Sherry, great service!

Food was great! I had the Cobb salad, hubby had the seafood platter, my son had the fish and chips. Very good and good service! Hubby also had the etouffe. Delicious!

Staff was so friendly. The food was great. I got to try the calamari, fried shrimp, the seafood soup & the Wed crab special. All delicious. My family & i shared our plates.

We had Annie as pur server. She was very friendly and knowledgeable! Super awesome We had the fried calamari, blackened platter, seafood pasta, shrimpmpo bo and the Big Jaun burger. All super fresh and very yummy

Wonderful local eatery, great food and service. Sunday lunch 😋 including Blackened Tilapia with Shrimp Pontchartrain and Seafood Pasta which was fabulously creamy and well prepared.

Found ourselves nearby and popped in. Amazing food and friendly service. Would make the trek from Galveston to here again.

Great seafood for reasonable price...I would go there again!!..And I did it...second time I had grilles redfish...was great again!

Idk why this place wasn’t packed to the gills! We were gonna go to Pier 6 (party of 10) but weren’t gonna be seated for an hour. Understandably. But we were hungry after church on a Sunday. We decided to go down here to Pacific Seafood. Amazing food! We were the only ones there at 12pm on a Sunday. Idk why that was the case, because the catfish was amazing, the portion sizes were amazing for the price. I’m allergic to shellfish but my friends all got the oysters and they said it was great. Especially for it costing what it did! Only gripe was the beer was kind of expensive, however it was about as expensive as it would be anywhere else. Loved the onion rings, loved the fries. They basically give you 3-4 catfish fillets for $18.99. Damn good deal. Will be back after church for sure.

Been wanting to try this place We both got the specials Red snapper and stuffed flounder with two grilled shrimp yummy Reasonable too Check it out

Well we have been to a lot and I mean a lot of seafood restaurants and we normally leave disapointed. Not this time!! We were a little worried because the driveway was somewhat empty for late dinner but dont let that fool anyone. Here we go. From the start to finish service and food was Michelin quality and yes we have dined in several Michelin star restaurants around the states. This place deserves mention by them. In fact I couldnt get my tea half way down before a new glass and more limes were presented to me. OK so the crab Cake appetizer is ok I am still a fan of Papa's seafood crab Cake however the sauce this place uses is simple yet amazing. The sauce complements the crab Cake making for an array of good flavor and makes it outstanding beyond what Pier 6 serves, yes I went there. We ordered the steak and blacked plate with redfish. The steak although thinner than what I like to see was still large and cooked perfectly I mean Perry's could not cook a better steak. The flavor of the steak mimicking a high dollar Waygu had the perfect seasoning on it and perfect marbling. The mashed potatoes are hand made and delicious, dont get me started with the simple mac and cheese its comfort food at its finest. The blackened red fish was a little iver cooked but you can tell the cook or chef cares about his job and cooks from the heart. That redfish was amazing either way. The shrimp are cooked to perfection and the flavor is a explosion of deliciousness. Who in thier right mind would write a survey about broccoli I will the vegetables were steamed so well even the stems of the broccoli were tasteful. I could not believe people were not waiting outside to get in. If you want to dine for finer seafood and steaks without having to dress up is a turtle suit this is the place to be. Get ready to spend some money but its ok because the food is worth it and so is the service. Mary was out waitress and while she was still doing her closing chores she maintained our table and 2 others like it was nothing. Great food home like atmosphere and a friendly staff what more can you ask for.

My family and I try to come every other Sunday because it’s just that good! We get the Shrimp Festival platter and it’s such a great price and always freshly cooked. Tried the gumbo for the first time and definitely recommend for my gumbo aficionados. Oysters Rockefeller are hit as well!

The food is amazing at pacific seafood. The fried pickles are great! The crawfish are great! The kitchen makes sure you get the best quality.

As we walked in we were greeted and seated quickly. The waitress, I believe her name is Annie, was awesome! She made recommendations and was very efficient with service. The owner was attentive and engaging when my partner was giving suggestions/opinions. There is plenty of free parking and I would certainly recommend.!!

We ran in for a late lunch as we were heading back to the hotel. The food was wonderful. The raw oysters were extremely fresh and tasty. The service was top notch. I had the blackened redfish. It was probably the best I have ever eaten. The restaurant was very clean and we were welcomed like we had been regulars. I would highly recommend this place and if we are ever in the area again, we will be back for more!

Update. This is my goto seafood restaurant in San Leon. My third visit for 2025 was my first visit for the summer. Because of its affordable everyday workingman's appeal and delicious seafood cuisine and unsweet iced tea with lemon! Today, my favorite was their fish n' chips, which is the authentic codfish type of entree meal !! It's the only thick whitefish I crave for taste. My order came with a side of tasty coleslaw, with their unique and very thinly sliced onion rings apart from the chips (fries). I've never seen rings done their way. They're sliced so thin that they aren't able to batter and fry them for very long, like normal rings are battered. And this meal entrée comes with the tasty London Pub brand malt vinegar upon table side request at the beginning of our order. This brand I buy myself and stock at home from Kroger grocer.

December 7th 2024 my family 1st time eating here. Great service the food was Amazing large portions. Clean, spacious, not loud can carry a conversation with Fr and Family Highly recommend

Had the lunch fried catfish.......FRESH, CRISPY and TASTY. Mary was great as our hostess and server. Definitely going back.

Went for the oysters but ordered the crab fingers and that sauce is so delicious. The rolls and butter were very good nice surprise cuz last time we went there the didn’t have that. Everything is well seasoned. If your in San Leon give pacific seafood a try you won’t be disappointed.

One of the last places I've been to since moving to the area. Seen someone post a special on Facebook for Tuesdays, where you get 4lbs of crawfish for $19.99. I HAD to give it a try. Very happy I did! The place is open spaced and very clean. The staff was cool and on point. Very friendly and kept you from needing anything. Have to say best bang for your buck for mudbugs! Thanks yall

The people were extremely kind. The food was EXTREMELY good (I personally had the salmon but everyone else liked their food too). The total came up to $64.98 (before tip) for all three meals… definitely coming back soon.

We on a whim stopped in and we were so surprised with the food. This place is unknown to many and the owner was so accommodating. He made some changes even was willing to make a dish not on the menu and they rocked it. We will be back to try some of the other items. This place is not very busy and that surprises me considering the experience we had.

Pacifico Seafood is a must-visit. We tried their fresh and tasty grilled oysters that were brought to us so fast. My wife had Salmon, and I had the Red Snapper, and we agreed that this was one of the best fish we had recently. Our waitress was fantastic, and the ambiance was pleasing.

I can't wait to go back and try other dishes! The place was clean and the service was excellent. We had a lot of questions and our server, Aaron (?) was patient. Our appetizer was the fried crab fingers. They were so good we ordred some to go for a snack later. We kept it simple and got the fried catfish and fish & chips. Catfish was buttery on the inside and the cornmeal batter was well seasoned and light. The fish & chips was bass instead of cod which was amazing and you could actually taste a little beer in the batter! Even the fries were crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside and not just slapped on the plate like you get sometimes. We also had the shrimp cocktail and the horseradish and sauce were served separately so you could adjust the heat to your own preference. Took a cobb salad with shrimp home for my daughter and it was fresh. We also had a sample of the seafood gumbo and I will definitely be ordering some on our next trip. I think the prices are good considering the quality of the food and the care taken in the finished product. Service was great and the place is nice and clean. You should go!!

This is a great place, the food all looks and tastes great, the place is very clean, and the prices are fair

Seafood Alfred was good; plenty of protein - mussels, shrimp, and crawfish. Pacific Burger was super tasty! Shrimp Kisses $12.99 (Brochette) with fried onions appetizer was really good. Bacon was cooked perfect and stayed on shrimp a it was eaten. Even the salad was good, fresh and crisp. This will be marked as a favorite! All burgers and sandwiches comes with fries for under $15!

Went here a couple weeks ago with my boyfriend . It very quiet and its seem like a hidden gem. Loved my food from here . It was plentiful and hot and delicious. Definitely will continue to come back to this place.

First time. Wife had shrimp special with four different shrimp flavorings including Parmesan crusted, blackened, scampi and coconut. 20 good sized shrimp total. Plus spaghetti. All for under $20. Excellent. I had the grilled tuna steak with shrimp etouffe and veggies. The etouffe had a little pop and the veggies were perfect. 0ur waitress Dayanna did a great job, especially recommending the shrimp. Place was clean. We will be back.

I have enjoyed a few meals at Pacific Seafood, and on my recent visit my entire group was raving about the food. The service was friendly and fast, and the price was excellent. Our group had grilled shrimp and pasta, grilled shrimp on the Greek Salad, and coconut shrimp and onion rings. I have to chime in with the other reviewers and say that the onion rings are really special. Give this place a try! The food is always great!

It's been a while since I've dined at Pacific Seafood because I moved away from San Leon. I'm happy to say the quality of the food as well as the service has not changed one bit. My daughter & I split an appetizer as well as the fried catfish. We were both full when we left and were able to take leftovers back to her house. As for the atmosphere, they had country music playing in the background. We were there for an early afternoon lunch. It was a very pleasant experience all the way around. For those who may be confined to a wheelchair, there is a ramp for your convenience.

The food and service here are great. There isn't a ton of options on the menu but being a fairly new place and it's to be expected. We did get them to toss our popcorn shrimp in buffalo sauce and they turned out great. Looking forward to trying the blackened red snapper.

Tried 2 things here! Calamari was average but the grilled salmon was amazing! Would definitely come back

Pretty large building close to the Gulf in Bacliff. Food itself was not bad, but kind of bland. The wait staff was really nice.

First time here today for lunch and food was good, staff was friendly and service was excellent. We will definitely be back.

We went specifically for the Sunday Shrimp Festival/ Platter. It's $19.99 for 4 different types of shrimp: blackened, scampi, coconut, and parmesan crusted. I opted to swap the coconut for grilled. The grilled and blackened were their best. 100% get those. My husband got salmon and said it was good. The Shrimp scampi was not scampi, in my opinion. It was on a piec of garlic bread that was delicious itself but the Shrimp was covered in a sauce that was more Alfredo. Not a huge fan of that one. The waitresses were amazing. Very friendly, very welcoming. I would go again but only for the grilled and blackened Shrimp. I would like to try other things on the menu eventually. It is pricey, but seafood typically is.

This review is based around the opinions within our party consisting of 6 adults and 2 children. The crab cake was liked by some and some felt it needed more lump crab meat within. The stuffed jalapeños were liked by all. Great mixture of flavor, texture and heat. The stuffed flounder caught a mixed review. The flounder itself was delicious but the stuffing was missing any sort of crab meat or any protein at all. Just breading and butter. The Blackened Salmon was delicious. Great flavor and perfectly cooked. Another enjoyed a bowl of Pacific Seafood's homemade gumbo. All in all, we enjoyed our time there and the service was great. Very attentive wait staff would recommend to others.

Have passed this place for 3 years. You are making a grave mistake if you don't stop. To die for crabcake. ALL puns intended, it's across the street (no view of from inside) from the cemetery.

Food was priced good for the amount that was given. Was not bad. Fish slightly over fried but still good. Our waitress was so sweet and interactive with us.

Been enjoying the food here for a couple years. Always had good fried fish and shrimp. Until 3 weeks ago stopped in for lunch and we had 2 shrimp poboys with extra tarter sauce . Dipped a shrimp in the tarter sauce and it was sweet. I told my buddy they put sweet pickle relish in the tarter sauce. Why would they change a recipe after 2 plus years. Sweet tarter sauce is not very tart. Tonight I called inn 2 orders of fried fish and shrimp. And yes tarter sauce is still sweet sauce. But now the Cole slaw has sweet pickle relish in it as well. There may be folks out there that enjoy sweet pickle relish in there food but I'm not one of them. The next time I have a craving for fried shrimp or fish I'm going to call Pacific Seafood and ask if they could make me some sauce and Cole slaw without the sweet pickle relish. The poor boys were my favorite quick lunch. Call the oder in and under 10 minutes ready to go. Never had any sweet tarter sauce before. Never even heard of it. Sweet pickle relish is nasty.

Well, other than having to send back my from a box macaroni, after finding a word on a noodle.... the food was good.

I’ve come here multiple times before and the service has always been mediocre. This time my server just really put me off. My drink went dry and when I looked over multiple times, she was on her phone. She didn’t know the menu and told us that they had those beers just to come back and say they don’t have it (happened like 3 times). Dust fell off the fan above me and landed in my food. A BAT YES A BAT!!! WAS FLYING AROUND THE RESTAURANT… our server still handed us our tab and was like “hehehe sorry”… a nicer establishment would have at least offered a discount. I will not be returning.
