    My experience with Poche's is a bit odd and disappointing, I heard earlier today about a restaurant in College Station named Poche's Seafood Shoppe & Restaurant opening from my parents, there is a little cafeteria in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana that I think has the greatest Cajun food in the world with a very similar name, Poche's Market & Restaurant, I called the restaurant after hearing this and asked the person on the line if they were apart of the same brand, they said it was, same owners same recipes. I was very happy to hear this and set a reservation to come eat here. Upon arriving the place was very different visually to the Louisiana location, and after eating my crawfish etouffee and drinking flat Dr Pepper, disappointingly average at an above average price. The servers were perfectly fine, they did good jobs, this isn't about them. After paying I asked to speak with the manager to get an understanding why the experiences at both locations was so different. The answer is, this Poche's is not the same brand as the Louisiana location at all despite their extremely similar names, I was lied to on the phone and hate to say this place doesn't hold a candle to that little food market with a cafeteria in Breaux Bridge, I won't be returning.

    Seems to be for the younger generation. The food was OK, nothing to brag about. I'll definitely choose a place not so loud next time.

    The restaurant was not busy when we arrived, and yet there was a long wait between when we were seated and the first time our waiter appeared. We requested drinks, which again after a long wait turned out to be average. When our meals arrived, there was minimal flavor, not what one would expect from cajun food. We gave it a try, and will not be going back.

    We were there for the first time last night. Amazing food. The bartender was so knowledgeable about what they served and made some amazing cocktails. The owner came out and talked to us. It was such a welcoming atmosphere and we will definitely be back!

    Sorry to say, it was a bad experience. food is very good. Kitchen seemed overwhelmed. It took 30 minutes to get my first beer. Food was served and it was not what we ordered. Fries didn’t come with the catfish. Crawfish was not added to the redfish as requested. The check had three errors on it and had to be corrected. Needless to say, we will wait awhile before going back.

    Had high hopes for this place. As mentioned in other reviews, crazy noisy, too loud to have a conversation: when we were there, there were only 12 other patrons and still too loud. I guess it was all the TVs? Overall painful experience. Food was ok but super greasy. We frequent other Cajun-themed restaurants (Tads, Walkons) and good Cajun food does not have to be served soaking in a bucket of oil.

    My wife and I are from New Orleans and we are thrilled with the addition of Poche's to our community. The atmosphere, food and recipes are the real deal. We had fresh blue crabs last week and my wife was in heaven. The jumbo boiled shrimp are the best in town. We will be regulars.

    The lack of available menu items was incredibly frustrating. Additionally, the beer choices are very limited. Lastly, $40 for a plate of French fries is deceiving for a what a seafood platter should contain...Seafood. Disappointing.

    The garlic bread had way too much butter. The sweet tea was great. Waitress was great. Wait time for food was slow. Prices are way too high.

    I was extremely disappointed. Made reservations only to show up and they were out of way to many items. Gave us 1 menu. We had to request another one. First plate of food was cold so we sent it back. They offer no sides with your meal except fries. Bread pudding g is dry with no sauce. I always give people the benefit of the doubt. I went because of the reviews. Now I am starting to think all of the reviews are from friends. I can say the waiter and manager are very nice. Waiter apologized. I do t think I would ever go back. Total waste of my $90. I wanted to call and talk to owner today but could not find a phone number and did not want to blast them on Facebook. I give them a 1 out of 5.

    Was a bit too loud… had to raise our voices to talk with our table. New waitstaff that I’m sure will learn timing and follow through Food was very good. Nice to have more Louisiana cuisine available. The shrimp were huge!!

    First time, but not last! Was disappointed that full menu shown on website was not yet available. (Naturally, at least one of the items we intended to order was not available.) I settled on the broiled redfish nestled on a bed of dirty rice and topped w shrimp and crabmeat in a garlic sauce. The fish and rice were perfect, but the shrimp were very small and didn’t present well. I expected the garlic sauce to have more of a “hollandaise consistency” and not the watery “sauce” that made my fish and rice soggy.

    For a soft opening I didn’t expect perfection but I order the same drinks 3 times and I got 3 different drinks.

    Johnny has quietly opened a much needed True Cajun spot… The Duck and Andouille Gumbo is phenomenal if you enjoy an authentic roux. Oysters Rockefeller and Shrimp & Crab Etoufee were solid.
