Monument Inn - La Porte

Great place. Been around for many, many years, and it is beginning to show up on the exterior of the building. Do not let this detour you. Excellent food served quickly by friendly staff. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. First, bread and cinnamon rolls severed warm fresh! We had the appetizer sampler, which is an excellent value at $12. Cajun popcorn shrimp, alagator, stuffed crab, crab stuffed Jalapeno, and mozzarella sticks. The small salad was severed promptly on cold plates, which I enjoy. I had the seafood sampler at $26 is a bargain for the portions and quality of food served. Catfish, shrimp, oysters, stuffed shrimp, and a stuffed crab. All well seasoned and crispy. I opted for $3 upgrade to onion rings, and man, I am glad I did. Perfectly crunchy sweet onion. Wife had Chicken Parmesan with a side of Alfredo. The bite I was able to steal was delicious.

One of our go to spots for seafood and a view! I love their rolls and cinnamon rolls. I tired their famous pan fried shrimp but may go back to the fried shrimp instead.

Went for Mother's Day was my 1st time. It was a pretty long wait, but it IS their busiest weekend of the year. Food did NOT disappoint! Calamari fried green tomatoes were excellent. Crawfish bisque was probably the best I've had. Seafood pasta was all you'd hope for more. Bread was fresh service was SUPER friendly. (Thought about photos after I'd already started so full presentation is a little lost, but you can get an idea) Would love to try again next time I'm in the area!

Food was fresh and tasted very good. The portions were a good size. I ordered the all you can eat deal and it was just too much. I would not hesitate to come here again. We were lucky enough to get a seat by the window allowing us to watch the ships and barges up close. The staff were excellent. In a world where it is becoming harder and harder to find good wait staff, ours were as good as any 5 star gourmet restaurant I have ever been to. Couple that with fresh and excellent seafood and you have a truly awesome experience.

The food is amazing and fresh. I had the blackened salmon, and it was perfect. And the complimentary cinnamon rolls are so good. I will definitely come back
