Great place for drinks and crawfish! We got the chili garlic sauce on ours, which was very unique and good! Near the water, live music, and some shaded tables. The main restaurant was closed today, with only The Yard being open with the crawfish menu and food truck.

First time visitor today. Gorgeous day out and found this little gem. Get the crab cake…. AMAZING! Gumbo was good as well, may have need a little better on presentation of gumbo but it had a tasty dark rue. Again, crab cake knocked our socks off. Kelly took good care of us sitting at the bar. Thank you!!!!! Bring your BAFL card, they are members. We will be back!!!!!

We are here a couple of times during our stay nearby. It is a floating bar with food options but since it was on the water we had to give it a try based on local recommendations. The first night we wanted to have an appetizer/light dinner, so we ordered the boudin nachos. My wife was skeptical at first but she really liked them, so much so that we went back the second night for another round. Sitting on the water was really nice and although it was loud inside, the outside part of the top deck was quiet enough for us to have a conversation and still enjoy the live band. We will definitely visit again when in Seabrook/Kemah area!

Barge has been 1000% renovated since Beyrl. Place looks all brand new. Tropical look in outside, almost upscale inside. Sat by kitchen and watched every dish come out. Everything on the menu looked phenomenal. Next visit will be peanut sauce wings and coconut shrimp. This visit had the best garlic permesan wings ever (sorry Bdubs and everyone else) plus fantastic deep water "royal red" gulf shrimp (best seasoned boil of any place handsdown) and crawfish pies. Well light, extremely clean, quite although every table full with very attentive staff. Dishes are well-priced too. Will make the hour drive again and again. And, oh yeah, they also have The Yard! Always great to see Cory Morrow!
