The Brazos Landing

We came in today and our server was overloaded. It wasn't her fault but it was almost possible to tend to a large table plus the other tables seated in her area. As an outsider it appeared there was help available but again that is just as an insider. She was kind and we appreciated her hard work. I hope she is recognized for that. The food is what the 2 stars are about. Very bland. The seafood all tasted the same that we ordered which is usually a negative sign of quality. The catfish came out and some were literally broken peices from an already small peice. The best things were the fries and the fact the soda machine was running good. We were disappointed because we have came there for years and quality has declined slowly and now to a point that we will probably stop visiting for a while. It's a shame because the location is a gem and so catchy. But, if you're going to be about seafood let's get after it. Hopefully there is a change in the kitchen that can take the food back up to how it was.

HORRIBLE SERVICE AND STAFF!!!! The only reason I'm giving 5 stars is the food!!! From our arrival the hostess (a guy and a girl) were unfriendly and rude. Not a good face for such a popular restaurant. Our waiter Taylor was incredibly slow to even greet us at the table. We had to wait another 20 min just to order the appitizers, when they finally arrived the crab cakes were good, the crawfish queso was good but the chips were stale absolutely gross told waiter he didn't care nor did he bring us new ones. It took another 25 min to get him to come back to our table so we could order our dinner. We had the Mardi Gras Pasta and the Seafood Jambalaya which were amazingly good which is why this gets 5 stars. Back to the waiter his service was absolutely horrible very unhelpful not attentive at all. We've been here several times and this is the worst service we've ever had.

Ordered the alligator fingers and a cup of seafood gumbo. The gumbo was different but, so good. I wish I had ordered a bowl of it. The gator fingers were good too, definitely would order again. We also had the cheese sticks, wow huge. Had a bite of their burger, it was ok, needed salt. Also had a bite of the chicken fried steak, also very good. The place looks very cool, think bayou atmosphere. Service was great and friendly. I would definitely stop again while passing through Waco.

Great food with views of the Brazos River and unique bridge. Cajun inspired dishes are tasty. We had the Shrimp La Grange, boiled shrimp, and a shrimp Po-Boy. Enjoy a walk on the elevated walkway after dinner for great views of downtown, and the bridge. You'll need to work of some calories for sure!
