Decided to try this place on 4/01/2012. (This was not an April fools joke). What a horrible mistake we made. The greeter seemed very depressed and unconcerned. She couldn't even muster a fake smile! I decided to order a the seafood gumbo and the frried calamari. My date chose the clackened catfish with baked potato. \r
\r
The gumbo reminded me of the black liquid that covered the Louisiana coast after the BP explosion. The roux was bitter, over seasoned and doused with chives and pieces of crab shells. The calamari was basically rubber dipped in flour, fried with no seasoning at all.\r
\r
My dates blackened catfish resembled pieces of coal !! After inquiring about the incinerated catfish, the waiter who seemed to be either drunk or high, explained that the red pepper seasoning applied to the fish darkens while cooking. Apparently the chef doesn't know that blackened means to give the meat a cripsy coating and not a thick layer of burnt seasoning that couldn't be scraped off with a Samurai sword. After notifying the sweaty, rat faced manager about our concerns, he simply refused to offer and form of compensation!\r
\r
Please note, that I would rather not give the place any type of stars, but its necessary in order to publish my review. But its a small sacrifice if I can save anyone from experiencing what we did.\r

I can say that the best thing about Bayou City Seafood was the glass of water with lemon otherwise, hands down, this is the absolutely worst place to dine !!!!
