Near the Airport?

I don't eat dinner here. Service is eeeh. What I do like to do is; stop here before I go to Intercontinental Airport and eat grilled oysters at their bar.. They are really good. Their grill is right in front of you and you watch them put oysters in the half shell on the grill and douse them with butter, lemons, garlic and herbs. Damn they're good. the place isn't fancy at all. Wear jeans.

• Pros: Grilled oysters
• Cons: Dinner

Great Service and Seafood

by jerbeg at Citysearch

My wife and I had just returned from vacation to IAH and decided to stop for dinner at Jimmy G's. We sat at the bar and shared the grilled oysters which were outstanding. We almost ordered more! My wife had the Crab Maison Salad and I had the Grilled Pecan Trout. The food and service were great! We shall stop here again when on this side of town.

GREAT FOOD and Friendly service at the BAR

I have been to Jimmy G's for years. I usually dont write reviews but this is one of my favorite places to eat if you are a seafood lover like me. They make the best boil crawfish i have found yet in houston. The grilled oysters are to die for! Over all the menu is exellent no matter what you eat. I always take peoples advice when they write a review and i hope you if you read this one then you will give this a try! I know im glad i did!

• Pros: Great food and Nice Service
• Cons: so far from where i live but other wise nothing!

North Houston Cajun restaurant for authentic Louisiana fare and a ragin' bar scene.

In Short
This casual Gulf Coast eatery in the Greenspoint area is popular for seafood and local flavor. Expect a menu of Cajun favorites, including soft shell crab, frog legs, catfish, po boys, shrimp and catfish in addition to broiled and fried seafood platters. Be a part of the party atmosphere and opt for a chair at the huge 300-seat bar where you can watch crawfish being boiled and fresh oysters are shucked and grilled.

Excellent Seafood

by Kirk90090 at Citysearch

Having lived in New Orleans for sometime I tried many seafood places. I had to relocate to Houston due to Hurricane Katrina and tried this place because it was close by. This place has better seafood than the whole of New Orleans. Oyster bar with raw or grilled oysters with crabmeat (better than Drago's), huge shrimp (boiled, grilled and fried), fresh vegetables, courteous staff, large portions for the price. Excellent place, you will not be disappointed.

• Pros: Large portions, Courteous staff

we drive out of our way......

by ez2spot at Citysearch

To eat here when we are passing through Houston. The Pompano (seasonally available) is superb, surpassed only by the blackened Mahi or Amberjack. Excellent wait staff, especially Jeff. An excellent "early supper" establishment, with generous portions.

A HIT!

• Pros: Food,, Service, good parking
• Cons: location; out of the, way
