The first time I came here, I was surprised with the soul atmosphere and the such amazing service and nice people surrounding us. I tried my first crawfish and even though it wasn’t nasty, it wasn’t my cup of tea, but the food was beyond delicious cooked to perfection, and the sauce was as spicy as I liked it! My second experience here was with a bigger group and we had front row seats to the live band once again, the same amazing energy over a beautifully cooked food and a basketball game. The service was outstanding as he remembered all of our orders without writing anything down and the food is consistent and temperature, Taste, texture. This is definitely my highly recommended seafood spot in Texas. No questions asked!

We visited last Sunday, Sam was our server. We didn’t have the best experience. However my daughter wanted to visit the restaurant since we loved the food, I was very hesitant especially since we were seated at the same table however Sam wasn’t our server. Chris 🥦 was and I couldn’t be happier. Chris went above and beyond, accommodating every request with a smile. He ensured we had everything we needed and made the evening special. This was more than just a meal—it was an experience! Thank you Chris for sure a wonderful evening. You changed our outlook on Nate’s, we will definitely be returning.

We went here for dinner while in town bc the ratings and it was always packed as we drove by....it was excellent! Our server was so friendly, helpful and had perfect timing. He has suggestions and was quick to followup. We started with crab claws that were blackened and fried. Yummy and fresh. A great sharing appetizer. Then we had the bacon wrapped shrimp. Also a great shareable. Juicy and salty from the bacon. Really yummy. We then shared the Lafayette book with shrimp, crawfish, crab, sausage, corn and potatoes. It was so yummy. Huge portion. Well cooked. Great flavor. Seafood was fresh and perfectly cooked. Loved the sausage. We also shared a Cajun pasta with shrimp, sausage and crawfish...well cooked pasta and the shrimp and sauce were all perfect together...so yummy. Loved everything.

This place was recommended to us for a good steak and seafood. The bartender was helpful, a little eclectic, and very bubbly. Being from Florida, the seafood was pretty good. The steak was VERY good, but it was market price, which was $45. Being that we eat steaks quite often, the ribeye we ordered was only 12 oz, was not what I would have expected to pay top dollar for. The neighbor next to us ordered crayfish and those looked delicious as well. If I was a local, not sure I would go back? I think I might give it one more try before I would make my decision.

Food wasn’t bad just very little seasoning. I got the grilled Velasso salmon. With Orleans topping . I’m glad I got the extra topping bc I would’ve been disappointed all the way . Service and atmosphere was just fine

Food was fresh definitely recommend the Poboy. It was so good. I didn’t get a picture of my catfish Poboy, but she saw the aftermath.- great service good atmosphere and there’s a patio available if you wanna sit outside

I had heard a lot about this place and wanted to try. The food was excellent and tasty. The only negative of the food were the sweet potato fries. They were very thin and small so it was very hard to taste them. The snow crab and the fried oysters were fantastic, very tasty and generous portions. Our waitress was very friendly and guided us with her recommendations. The food came very fast and even though the place was crowded, it didn't take us more than 15 minutes to get seated. I'm definitely coming back again.

I’ve plenty of these Louisiana style food and this wasn’t the freshest. Unfortunately the popcorn shrimp (breaded) was not as crispy as it could have been. The boiled crab lacked the deep flavoring. It was cooked but seasoning coated it more than cooked throughout like other places I’ve had where the broth could soak into the crab meat and shrimp rather than just cooked and dipped in sauce for flavor. 2.5 stars for the food-price is on the lower end for seafood if you are on a budget for seafood 5 stars for service. Twice baked potato was rather chewy, tasted like it was a day old and microwaved .daughter really liked the hush puppies but it was too dry for me. Give it a try, but once is enough for me.

This is heartbreaking to write!!! Restaurant person here who used to frequent Nate's when I lived in that area and it was always a wonderful 5 star experience! I'm not sure what happened but it's drastically different now! And I don't mean that in a good way at all. Out of all the seafood places I could have picked for a holiday lunch with friends I picked Nate's as the atmosphere was suitable for talking and the food USED to be consistently excellent but not any longer!!! We started with the poorest excuse for crab fingers that were tiny and cooked to the point of dry and tasteless and our server forgot the garlic butter for them! Even with it they were still a total waste of money! As we wanted light bites, we ordered two apps and shrimp tacos. The tacos were served without any sauce either. My catfish bites were like remnants of the crumbs that are left from Long John Silvers filets that come in the box with their fish. And I ordered Rémoulade which was forgotten as well. Other awful thing was the chicken tenders which, like the crab fingers, were dry and tasteless. Such a sad dining experience! Our server was Chris, who was a chipper although forgetful young man, asked us no less than 5 times if we were ready for our entrees (which we just came for a light lunch so no entrees were ever on our minds). It was very pushy and screamed of wanting to increase our ticket. I selected Nate's because of the atmosphere and fond memories of past dining experiences but sadly this was my final visit.

My boyfriend got take out for him and I last night. I wish the food tasted like the last time we had the Chilean sea bass which was out last night. Instead he had to get us something else and it was so cold and the bread and hush puppies tasted old too. The veggies were cold, but tasted fresh after I warmed them up. I wish our experience was the same as last. This is the second time my fish is so cold I waited to write a review that time. Also this fish was very dry :( Please make this better Nates. The order name was under Henderson btw if y’all want to try to help investigate what happened. Thank you.

We ordered, for pickup, this past Saturday. To say that we were disappointed, was an understatement. I believe the bill, before tip, was approx. $91.00. I think we left a $10.00 tip. We ordered a crab finger dinner with red beans and rice, a side of fried okra, the Blackened Catfish Acadiana and fried mushrooms. Once we got home, we realized that they'd put the crispy fried okra in with the Catfish dish. Not sure why, because the catfish was not fried. It had a sauce; and is served over rice dressing, therefore adding the okra made the okra soggy. We called, and I'll be honest, I really don't think they wanted to be bothered. They said they would remake the catfish. So, while we went to exchange one dish, the other food got cold. When we got back home, we realized that they didn't even give us the rice dressing, that's supposed to come with the catfish meal. My food was cold. His food was missing the dressing. The mushrooms weren't good. The red beans and rice looked burnt. We didn't even bother calling back. We ended up throwing the food away and I made a charcuterie board. To be fair, I had more crab fingers than pictured. I'd already thrown some away, before I thought to take pictures. There was also more red beans and rice. That was thrown away as well.

Me and my friends went to Nate’s on Sunday night and have been waiting to get crawfish for about 2 weeks since it’s good in season right now and we waited for an hour and half to get told that they ran out of crawfish when the table that got sat right after us was able to order it. First off, We had gotten on the waiting list before we even arrived and multiple of us had gone into check on how much longer after waiting well after the 30 minutes we were initially told to be told that they had a table for us and were looking for us which we were sitting outside like everyone else and they had called every other person on the intercom but us and one other table. Then we get inside wait at least 15 minutes for drinks and 30 minutes to even get our food order in and to be told we cannot get crawfish which is fine but what was not okay is our food came out 30-35 minutes after we ordered and in that amount of time other people were ordering crawfish and being served crawfish before our food even came out. I asked to speak to a manager which I did and she said for only 20 minutes they did not have crawfish which we waited for our food way longer than that and could have been told they actually got a shipment and it was ready by the time we received our food. I feel there was a strong lack of communication throughout the restaurant and our experience would have been better if there was that communication.

I've ate Nate's multiple times I'll never go back I'll never recommend I'm going to post this on every social media site that I can do not recommend throwing it in the trash I need a full refund I will be there as soon as you guys open the next business day! I take my first scoop of red beans and rice and I pick up red beans and rice and a bottle cap from a beer

The host sat us right next to a table of about 10-12 people. There were 4 of us , we all ordered different meals. One of the people at our table sent their food back and order something else and the next dish came out just as horrendous as the first dish did.. we all thought the food had no flavor, was under one for some of us and underdone for the rest of us. We only went there because it was recommended by a friend of ours years ago that had went there. NEVER EVER AGAIN!!! DO NOT GO THERE! I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Read the reviews and look at all the pics being posted on the reviews. Just icky! Here is my response to your reply to me since there isn't a way to click reply to you. Regarding Owner Response to 1-Star Review Thank you for your response, but I must respectfully clarify a few things regarding the standard protocol and the severity of our issue. Regarding Management Protocol You stated that I should have asked for a manager when I was unhappy. In most reputable full-service restaurants, the standard protocol dictates that when a dish is sent back to the kitchen, a manager or chef should automatically approach the table to understand the issue and attempt to rectify it. It is highly unusual and poor service management that this did not occur. We should not have had to seek out a manager to address unsatisfactory food that was returned. Regarding the Food Quality The issue was not simply one person being "unhappy"; the food quality was fundamentally poor across the entire table, and a replacement dish was also inedible. The first dish sent back was replaced with fried gulf shrimp that were mushy and had a terrible taste, confirmed by two separate people at the table. My daughter and I split a meal where the french fries were inedible tiny bottom pieces and the sweet potato fries were firm, tasteless, and improperly cooked. The entire table of four agreed the food lacked flavor and was poorly prepared. The quality issues were so pervasive that I stand by my assessment: the only true rectification would have been a full refund on the food, which was never offered or pursued due to the lack of management presence. Regarding Expectations My disappointment was amplified because I chose your restaurant based on a friend's recommendation and the local connection to the Lafayette, Louisiana area. Knowing the high standard of Cajun cooking from that region, I arrived with high expectations for a delicious meal, unfortunately, those expectations were severely unmet. While I appreciate your sentiment that all restaurants have bad days, based on the consistency of the poor quality across multiple dishes, I maintain that our experience merits the 1-star review.

The place was horrendous. My food was overcooked and dry was disgusting. The service, I mean as helpful as they were, they were just as rude. The only thing I was good about that place was the drink so they had a good bartender. And they blamed all the bad food on some new guy they hired. I'm good. I will never eat her again.
