Barge 295

Had lunch with a friend at Barge 295 on Tuesday. In a word, AMAZING! The crawfish queso was perfectly flavored and the cracklings they serve to dip with were so fresh they were still crackling on the table. The crabcake was unlike any crabcake I've ever had and had the amazing flavor of NOLA style crab stuffed snapper, but without the fish. Perfectly seasoned. Two large platters of crawfish perfectly done, straight out of the kitchen were the hit with amazing flavor and texture. The feature that came through across the meal was how fresh everything was and prepared a-la-minute. Kudos to this amazing place and the very attentive staff. If you're put off by eating crawfish barehanded, don't worry, they provide nitrile gloves that get the job done! I will be back!

Barge 295 has the best crab cake you will ever have. The entire rest of the menu is also fantastic, the boudin nachos are my 2nd favorite to the best crab cake you will ever have. Service is always great, obviously can’t beat the location and view - or the crab cake.

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!

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.
