What people say, in short
Lotus Seafood on Kirkwood is a Louisiana-style seafood spot that several diners recommend. One calls it a go-to for quality and value, one says the gumbo is tasty and full of shrimp, and one recommends its Loud Pack. One diner says it suits a budget. Not everyone agrees: one commenter dislikes it, and another describes it as fast casual, where the seafood is not top tier but a quickly seasoned boil does the job.
