Wonderful day to sit under shade trees and enjoy good food. Extra shade clothes/canopies help keep you cool. This is an outdoor venue with clean bathrooms (handicap ramped) the seating is picnic benches. The staff is polite and helpful . Plenty of sea food choices . Fare priced and quality products. We split the Poorboy's to enjoy different sandwiches The shrimp dish came with corn on cob. The Poorboy's came with fries. The hours are Friday and Saturday until 8pm, weekdays untill 7pm closed Sunday . Make the trip its a great experience.

The atmosphere here is unbeatable if you are trying to enjoy the evening with close ones or even just a small meeting arrangement. Perfect date night spot also. With all of that said the food is even better. Save a spot on your trip for this place!

Arnaud's has always been busy every time I drove by and today was no exception. The food is definitely worth the wait though. The shrimp and fish were fresh and perfectly seasoned.

I took my family to Arnaud's because my daughter, who lives in Huntsville, wanted crab for her birthday lunch. Let's start with the atmosphere/setting. All the seating is outside, and it's a tranquil setting. It reminds me of some of the places I'd go in Austin in the early 90s. The seating is pretty much all picnic benches, both covered and uncovered. The area is kept up nice with no trash, debris or ant hills. In Texas, we actually have many months when sitting outdoors is great. You order at a window, and they beep you when your food is done. In our case, they brought it out to us, but on busy days and times, I imagine you get it yourself. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I thought the prices were good for the quality and quantity of food. We had a variety of dishes including the fried shrimp basket, a pound of snow crabs, the snow crab and shrimp boiler bag and a po'boy. Everyone enjoyed what they had. I had a frozen peach colada that was pretty good. A little sweeter than I prefer, but still quite tasty. After lunch, we ate at the ice cream truck. The ice cream is made locally, the portions were big, it was absolutely delicious, and the prices were very reasonable. Suggestion, get the flight to share with your significant other. It's huge, and you can select up to 6 flavors. The next time I'm in Huntsville, I will absolutely be eating there again, and probably trying the shrimp po'boy. I will probably make a special trip from Crosby with some friends to eat there again. I felt it was that good of an experience.

Great hang out spot for lunch or any time, really. Plenty food options for any time of the day with multiple food trucks to choose from. They have games, tables, and even an ice cream shop nearby. This was my second time going, but I will be returning for the boiled shrimp from Arnauds again very soon.
