Pier 247
Situated along the bustling Bishop Arts block, Pier 247 serves an assortment of seafood in a laid-back atmosphere, including a patio outfitted with picnic-style tables. Much of the menu has a Cajun theme, such as seafood gumbo, crawfish etouffee, and sausage and chicken jambalaya. Because this is Texas, many dishes also have a Texas twist, such as 247 surf and turf with chicken-fried steak, Creole and fried shrimp, and your choice of smashed potatoes or dirty rice. Bonus: Food is served until 1 am on Friday and Saturday nights.
