Floyds Seafood Beaumont

I sat at the bar because I was alone. The place is a bit run down but I like places like that as long as it is clean and it was from what I saw. The bar staff were very friendly. Mostly locals around a huge bar. I ate 1/2 order of baked oysters which costs $18.99, a whiskey sour, $14.00 and a Lone Star Beer, $4.75 and sautéed spinach. The spinach was the best part because when you are traveling you need to squeeze in your veggies and they were fresh. Total without tip, $45.73. I was told this wasn't a chain by my hotel but the menu showed 6 locations. It wouldn't be your worst choice but it also isn't a must.

I've had people telling me to go here for a while. Apparently, it's a Beaumont institution. Makes sense. Our server did his best given what he had to work with. I use the old fashioned as a measuring line for the bar staff as it's fool-proof. It was unstirred and disappointing. Switched to a long island. It was made from a bottled mix. The crab stuffed jalapenos had shell fragments in the first three, and none of them had much of a crab flavor. My wife's entree was buried under a sickly-sweet cream sauce. I got the 1855 ribeye. Temp was correct and flavor was alright. The grilled shrimp I asked for with the steak were severely over-cooked, dry, chewy, and over-salted. For some reason he floors throughout the place were slippery. When asked about dessert we politely asked for the check and quickly left.

I had the Shrimp Pesto Penne. It was amazing!! The blackened jumbo shrimp with asparagus slices and yellow bell pepper strips added more texture and flavor, and I had enough to bring home for another meal! We were very happy with the cost of our meals as well! Service was good as well.

Try the crab basque and the fried calamari it is awesome.

We decided to try Floyd’s in Beaumont. We are from South Louisiana and when they say Cajun food, you think, let’s hope so. Well, we were not disappointed!!! Everything was delicious. Cajun flare at its finest. Thanks for great service and delicious food.
