What People Are Saying About Monument Inn

In Short – With its spectacular second-floor views of the Houston Ship Channel, Battleship TEXAS and San Jacinto Battleground, lunch or dinner here is like a field trip into Houston history. The kitchen emphasizes seafood, much of it fried, but the menu offers a few pasta, chicken and beef staples as well. Diners will be hard-pressed not to fill up on cinnamon rolls brought to the table. Key lime pie finishes off the meal.

Good food!

We drive from 45-south so it's about a 20 minute drive for us. When you first pull up it smells like fish, but guess why? Because it's by the water! I'm willing to put that aside because I'll be eating inside anyway. We usually go on a Saturday so there is a wait. They give you this really really good bread once your at your table. The stuffed jalapenos are really good. The caesar salad is good. I get the Shrimp Jamboree which has shrimp cooked in 5 different ways. I'm not one for stuffed shrimp, but theirs are pretty good. It is kind of pricey so we don't go very often. All in all, the drive, the smell, and the wait are well worth it.
- Pros: The bread and the view
- Cons: The smell once you arrive and the wait

I've been to the Monument Inn a few times. Every time I wonder why why it took me so long to go back! The 20 minute drive is offset by the wonderful seafood, service and the VIEW..oh and the cinnamon rolls. They have done a big remodel since my last visit and the place looks great but the tables may be too close together..try the alligator as an appetizer and my favorite entree is the blackend redfish with pontchartrain sauce..you should check this hidden gem out people!
- Pros: great food and perfect view
- Cons: a bit of a drive

Not what I expected.

I visited Monument Inn a few months ago after staying away for over 20 years. This restaurant, in times past, was a meeting place for family and friends. I was very supprised at the over-priced menu, since we could not eat the food. The fried oysters and shrimp could not be consumed my me or my guest. I was embarrised and felt robbed by the check.
- Pros: Great Bread and Salad
- Cons: Over Priced and poor quality food.
