Tad's Louisiana Cooking

Always looking for a new place to eat when we visit College Station. Since I've got Louisiana roots, figured I'd give this a try. Saturday night around 7 pm isn't too busy in the dining area. There's a bar that was booming so I'll have to try that next time. Kathryn(?) was a sweet server. She not only kept us informed with any delays but she provided options when what requested wasn't on the menu. The food is pretty good. The house salad is simple, yet tasty. My blackened red snapper with lemon garlic butter and lump crab meat needed more butter and garlic. I still recommend the dish though. I did enjoy a taste of my hubs grilled catfish. That was very tasty. And the calamari with three sauces was a winner. It was so fresh and well cooked! This appetizer paired well with my Swamp Water. I ended the night with the bread pudding that is served with ice cream. I also had a shot of Frangelico to go with. Overall, I'm looking forward to another visit.

Alyssa made me feel so welcomed. She took her time going over a few menu items ( I’m a first timer). Pointed out their delicious homemade tartar sauce & their house sauce. She was right they are delicious. I had the catfish bites and the shrimp poboy. Absolutely a 10! I promise you will NOT leave hungry ( actually overstuffed) I highly recommend. Very clean, prompt and the food was piping hot when served oh and the fries so crispy. Check out their daily specials!

If you’ve seen my reviews, then you know how much my husband and I love our oysters. Y’all I think there’s a new favorite spot! The service was great and the time we went there was very little people, which was not a bad thing. Only small hiccup was waiting for a table when we arrived and had a little wait. We got the broiled oysters and let me tell you, you get your money worth and then some!!! There were 2-3 oyster pieces in ea shell, along with a small shrimp. We got the 1/2 dozen and this was so filling that it was like eating a dozen or even a dozen and half! We thought oysters wasn’t gonna fill us up so we also got the fire cracker shrimp and I liked them, husband wasn’t too excited about them. Lightly battered and some with tail pieces. But let’s just say this was a great place to eat and have a little day date

As far as early season crawfish goes, I have had some horror stories. However, in the last 5 years of being back in Texas I have never eaten this quality, taste, and ease of peel this early in a season! Full equal mix of sizes with 7 or 8 monsters I got to the second claw nuckle on! Shout out to the fantastic cook Maria, the girl that took my order on the phone, the fantastic bartender, and whoever trusted their distributor this early in the season!

We visit Tad's in College Station at least once a week so I can get my Shrimp Quesadilla fix! However, this review is about the great customer service we received in addition to the great food. All of the waitresses are good --they love this place as much as we do. We had Tessa this time taking our order and keeping our glasses full. My husband ordered the Chicken Stuffed Potato with double gravy. Tessa and the manager, Amy went through special effort to make his baked potato PERFECT! I also requested a potato for my older mom and they made sure there was no heat and the chicken was cut smaller for her. All the way home, he bragged on his wonderful "dang!" delicious, rich, fresh, baked potato. I cannot thank them enough, honestly. When restaurant staff take care of your loved ones just as you would do, how can you not feel heartfelt gratitude? Thank you very much, Rosita Daniel

Came here a while ago when my friend Recommended this place. I’m so glad she did because now I have a reason to stop by college station. Our server Brevan was very attentive to our needs, all while providing excellent service. Along with Callie the bartender, who was very knowledgeable about the drink selection. Their portions for both dinner and lunch menu are a great value for the price. I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re ever in college station. Will for sure make time to dine in here whenever I’m in town.

It was great food! Little wait on getting seated. Appetizers were awesome, will recommend the crab cakes and the seafood sampler for sure. Will come back when we are in town!
