This is a little hole in the wall place near the ferry that I have seen but never had the time to stop by until today. Boy was I missing out. This place has amazing food for anyone to like. The staff was friendly. No waiting and great atmosphere. I should have walk into the place years ago. Thank you.

Five stars for the great food. I had the Fettuccine shrimp and my wife had the Seafood combo. All was fresh and prepared wonderfully. Morgan, our waitress, was very warm and knowledgeable about the food and the view our our window seat was incredible. Highly recommend.

I can't believe I've never been to this hidden gem in beautiful La Porte, TX. The food was amazing, the staff was truly helpful, friendly, and attentive. The coastal view was the cherry on top. This place is worth the drive, or the hop, skip, and a ferry ride or however you choose to arrive. May I also recommend to check out the nearby San Jacinto Monument and enjoy some Texas history on your visit.

First time at the Monument Inn. I was not a fan of the breading on the fried shrimp. Personal preference...shrimp were good. Service was amazing even with the trainee in tow. Calamari breading was more to my liking. Bread a cinnamon rolls were included and outstanding. Scenery outside of the ship channel and San Jacinto Monument Park was delightful.

Have been coming here for years but only once a year. Today was the once…great food as always. Friendly staff, good atmosphere.

Seafood menu offers good selection. Great lunch meal, but my preference would be for less butter. Had the grilled Samon. Many guests were seated just past Saturday opening time. Our table had a great view of the harbor where we saw tugboats pushing huge tanker ships and more. Great atmosphere with large windows facing the bay. Free ferry takes folks from Lynchberg to park where Monument Inn is located. Would eat there again.

Great experience at Monument Inn! Oran was a fantastic server. My husband loved the all-you-can-eat seafood, and my fried fish platter was delicious. Beautiful views and great service — highly recommended!

I usually get my food to go but today decided to eat here. The salmon is cooked just like I like, medium. Not dried out, not too raw. The steamed vegetables are very good too. And the rolls and cinnamon roll, whew. To start off i had a lemon drop martini that was veeerrry good! Waiter is attentive and pleasant. Got my order right!

We were extremely pleased with the Monument Inn! A bustling, friendly & welcoming establishment considering it is in a public park! The service was fantastic and our server was very attentive and charming. The food was great all the way around! Not one bad item of the many that we ordered!! You also won’t find better food at this price! Highly recommended!! 👍

This place is so GOOD! Their buffet also so delicious. Every time they come back to refill your plate food comes back fresh. And omg their complimentary honeybun rolls are mouthwatering hot & fresh. If you ever in the area you have to stop by. Their water view is beautiful

Great family atmosphere and delicious food. The seafood platter is my favorite along with the stuffed jalapeños for an appetizer. The service and hospitality is always great. They make you want to keep coming back, which I will. Just celebrated my wife's birthday here....love this place!!!

My first visit to the Monument Inn in more than 15 years was a pleasant surprise. You never know what the passage of time will do to the quality and the ambience of a restaurant like this. However, I was not disappointed. First, the drive up to the Monument Inn, you pass through a very historic park, honoring the history of Texas. Then as you approach the restaurant, you can’t help but notice it’s right on the water as Ship traffic passes back-and-forth. Now you’re in a great mood for a good meal. Patrons are directed upstairs, where the many are provided a wonderful view of the water. From there it’s pure goodness. The appetizers with stuffed crab,shrimp, oysters, alligator and more were delicious. The famous cinnamon rolls seem to have grown larger over time , but just as delicious. The main entrée was again a whole assortment of essentially fried seafood was hot fresh and delicious. The service was impeccable. I can’t say a negative thing about the entire experience.

I had the stuffed crab at Monument Inn, and it was absolutely amazing! The crab was perfectly seasoned, generously portioned, and had that fresh-off-the-boat taste that’s hard to find. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive. One tip: make sure to sit by the window if you can—the view of the water and the ferry coming in and out is such a great touch and really adds to the overall experience. Whether you're a seafood lover or just looking for a great meal, I highly recommend giving this place a try!

Big menu great service even during a very busy lunch time! Fried green tomatoes were tasty and the gumbo we good - had enough spice that I didn't have to add any hot sauce! Great view of the ship cha…

Food was exceptionally good, service was professional and friendly, meal was prompt and hot. view of passing tug boats and ships for an old salt was a bonus!

So good to be back. Shrimp Jamboree is my fave. Reasonable prices. Friendly, efficient staff. You might want to go at mid-day to avoid the crowds .

Food was great with large portions. Our server was very kind and while it wasn't on the kids menu he prepared butter noodles for my daughter. The location was great as you could watch the ships pass by.

A "must visit" seafood restaurant. Excellent menu selection. Excellent service. Be sure to ask for a booth near the window (a wait is well worth it). I ordered the Mahi-Mahi with Montumental sauce, my wife order the Redfish with a side of onion rings. We really enjoyed ourself and the drive was worth it! So do yourself a favor, make the drive, don't be in a hurry, and enjoy the ships, barges, and tugboats cruising by!!!

Remains a good restaurant. Has been for years and they still get it done. If you want seafood in the area that is a good choice. Watch the ship channel traffic and have dinner. Prices average.
