I went there with a friend on a Sat. night and was not impressed. The food was average at best. I had the Shrimp Creole which wasn't Creole at all. It was basically shrimp saut...

Extremely Disappointed 6/17/2011

the food was expensive and definitely not worth it. everything we ordered was void of taste the cesar salad no taste, pecan crusted chicken no taste, crab burger to mushy and needed salt, the sauteed vegetables way over cooked and just plain mushy kinda felt like i was eating cooked spinach ( i hate spinach) and they took forever!!! to get are food the restaurant wasnt even half full i think there were more of the staff there then acutal pay customers... just not happy on of the worst places ive ever been i didnt even wwant to give it the star it has lol more

Best Gumbo in Houston 12/2/2010

I've been attending Danton's Sunday Blues Brunches for the past few weeks listening to great master bluesmen practicing their craft over the best gumbo in the city. Their Courtbullion is one of the best I've ever had as well and we always finish off with their great bread pudding. more

delicious seafood 11/14/2010

My husband and I attended the great Lamar High School 60th reunion celebration at Danton's. The buffet luncheon was delicious complete with gumbo, fried oysters, okra and tomatoes and bread pudding! Our thanks to Kyle and Danton! more

Defines GULFCOAST seafood ! 11/12/2010

My family and I just moved Houston and had been wanting to try some good seafood. Never having lived near water the idea of having fresh caught fish and oysters sounded too good to be true. A coworker recommended we try Dantons and said we should ask for Amanda, she is always their server and they love her personality and great service. After going all I could do was say THANK YOU to my friend. Both the restaurant and the service were unbelievable. The fish was so fresh and the way they grill it, that chef definately knows what he's doing ! And Amanda gave us service to remember, she was more than happy to answer all of our questions and even offered advice on some sites to see around town. We will definately be back and will pay it forward by spreading the word ! more

The Oysters are BACK at Danton's! 11/9/2010

The best oysters in Houston. Monday nights, they are also the best deal in Houston as they slash prices in their oyster bar. So, yes, run, don't walk, if you are an oyster fan. But the menu is so diverse, unique and soul-warming that it is often hard to choose. Our favorites include Kyle's Crab Salad (greens tossed with remoulade and bacon, then topped with big fat chunks of fresh lump crab and a cluster of skinny fried sweet potato strings); wood grilled fresh fish (available in 1/2 size orders!); the rich brothy gumbo roux (into which shrimp, crab and oysters are tossed to cook just prior to serving); and the crab and cheese stuffed jalapenos. Whenever we visit, however, we are tortured by the non-seafood options, particularly the T-Wayne Boy sandwich (sliced pork sausage on french bread with red onion and creole mustard), the best sandwich around. Oh, and the debris. Ordering is an impossible task made easier over a cold glass of chardonnay or a frosty martini, and the knowledge we can always come back next week and order what we missed today. This is one of our very favorite places in Houston to dine. more

AMAZING seafood!! 11/8/2010

I have been to Danton's three times now, and each time I've had an all around GREAT dining experience. The staff has always been friendly and attentive from the second I walk in the front door. The servers and bartenders are very knowledgable about the food and drinks, and are friendly, which is something I experience less and less these days. Our server last time, Tara, made our experience exceptional!! The food here is just divine. I haven't had anything I didn't like. And I LOVE Monday nights, because the Oyster Bar has half price oysters and pretty good happy hour prices!!!! This is a great place to take a group of friends or business associates. It is sure to impress. more

What a great restaurant! 11/8/2010

I am a seafood fanatic and I must say that the dishes at Danton's are not just good, they are the best. I cant remember a time that I have been able to go out with my friends like this and have them all get something they really enjoyed. I always have that one friend that sends his dishes back and this time he didn't. Our waiter, Alex, was excellent, really first rate. The oyster bar is also another really nice feature to this restaurant. You can go in there and catch the big game while eating your favorite seafood. more

Gulf Seafood Excellence 11/5/2010

Im a native of Houston and also a fresh and saltwater fisherman. I am very familiar with what fresh seafood is all about. I have eaten lunch and dinner at most all the seafood establishments in Houston and Galveston and I have to say Danton's has hooked my vote for the most fresh and traditionaly prepared seafood dishes. Nothing pretentious about the food. Great biscuit,eggs,bacon,ham and grits. Catfish enchiladas awsome. Nothing on the Brunch was overcooked or dryed out. Attention to detail was most evident even in the preparation of the fried oysters, mmmm just the right breading and still moist inside with a briny flavor and the remoulade, oh man I could eat this on everything. Desserts again was top notch. The white chocolate bread pudding... let's just say someone had to have sold their soul to the devil for that recipe. Ps: I plan to return to Danton's and try the Debris Poboy to see if it compares to the one at Mothers in New Orleans. I consider myself part of the GCC now! more

70th Birthday Dinner - Danton's Gift 11/5/2010

We wanted to plan something very special for my Mother's 70th Birthday this year. She loves really great seafood which is hard to get where she lives. After hearing really great things from several people, I decided to take her to Danton's Gulf Coast Seafood Kitchen. We walked in about 7:00 pm and the place was very warm and inviting. The hostess greeted us with a lovely smile and sat us in a booth. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive. Everything on the menu made our mouth water. We couldn't decide on one appetizer, so we tried several. We had the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake, which was all huge pieces of lump crab meat without a lot of filler. (Nowdays, it seems hard to find a crabcake that isn't really a cake.) It came with a delightful garlic remoulade sauce that was entirely homemade. We also tried the Crab Danton, which was amazing! We also ordered the shrimp cocktail which had serveral large shrimp that were perfectly chilled. For our entrees we had the Debris, which reminds me of wonderful southern comfort food. We also ordered the Oysters Kyle and the Baked Crab Balinese. We decided that both were winners, as we cleaned our plates! You know that we couldn't leave without dessert. We chose the Key Lime Pie, which you could taste the real key limes. My Mother chose the White Chocolate Bread Pudding, which she said reminder her of her Mother's receipe. When we left, she hugged me and said that it was the best birthday ever. She always talks about Danton's food, service, and atomosphere and how it made her feel special on her special day. more

Best Seafood in Houston 11/5/2010

The owners are very personable and always visit our table. The gumbo is awsome as are the best sides ever created - okra & tomatoes and house rice - the absolute best. Anything Crab is also good - the crab cakes, the crab dip, etc. My husband loves seafood and his comment after our first visit was ""that is the best seafood I have ever had"". We visit on special occasions like birthdays, anniversary, and when family visits from out of town or when we get a craving for seafood ( which is often). more

STUFF ME with STUFFED SHRIMP 11/5/2010

I grew up on the gulf coast eating shrimp all my life but stuffed shrimp has always been my favorite. Those old restaurants on the coast are long gone and many blown away in storms. I came to Houston and critically looked for my favorite stuffed shrimp. Well, I found it at DANTON'S seasoned perfectly just the way the old time restaurants prepared it. As for my wife, she loves stuffed flounder and their's is her favorite. We agree on something finally. We go back often to get our favorites. Thanks DANTON'S from Cypress. more

Danton's 11/5/2010

Danton's has the best Louisiana seafood here in Houston. I love the oysters on the half shell and all of the appetizers are delicious. You must try the bar-b-que shrimp, use your bread to sop up the sauce. Sauteed crab fingers also very good. You won't be disappointed! more

Excellent seafood and service! 11/5/2010

Danton's Seafood is located on Montrose Blvd and is a stand out among the other many restaurants in the ares. more

World's best Fried Oysters! 11/5/2010

Danton's provides a supreme seafood experience. Their fried oysters are so light, really cloudlike - but with a perfect crunch. NEVER overcooked or tough. No other establishment (even the seemingly more popular inner loop rseafood estaurants) can match the quality or taste of Danton's. Likewise, their Oysters Danton - yum. When going light, just order the Crab Kyle salad. with dressing on side. Real lump crabmeat, not bits & shreds. This is a restaurant not to be missed. more

Great place to ""date the daughter""! 11/5/2010

Danton's is one of my favorite placed to spend quality time with my daughter who races in from college and seems to only have time now for her friends. Whenever I ""dangle"" an invitation to lunch at Danton's... she's all in. The comfortable yet sophisticated atmosphere is just the answer to the college student on a budget too. The atmosphere is perfect and the food is outstanding! Since she joined their Gulf Coast email club, SHE now calls me to set a date to meet! Doesn't get much better than that. While the Gumbo is her favorite I've always preferred the fried oysters and seafood. Their Sunday Brunch is out of this world and I highly recommend it to everyone. Special times with special people! Yes, big props to the bread pudding. OMG, as my daughter would say. Insert that smiley face thing here too. more

BY FAR THE BEST SEAFOOD IN HOUSTON 11/5/2010

This is a must try restaurant in Houston! We are regulars at Danton's and when we ask ""where do you want to eat tonight?"" The resounding answer is Danton's. more
