Laguna Madre is
A Family Restaurant
At five years old, Balous Miller began fishing in the San Antonio River with his father, Bill Miller. Fishing grew from a family tradition to a sport in the Laguna Madre. When Bill Miller opened his barbeque restaurant, the family had no intentions of serving seafood, they were simply trying to survive. During the time of San Antonio’s hosting of the World’s Fair at HemisFair in the late 1960’s, Balous Miller knew he wanted to serve seafood to the San Antonio community. The Bill Miller brand recognized there was a demand for seafood and fulfilled their dream later with Bill Miller’s Laguna Madre Seafood Co.
In 2010, Laguna Madre opened its doors on the southeast side of San Antonio, home to the Miller family and Bill Miller Bar-B-Q. Today, there are five Laguna Madre locations throughout San Antonio. Laguna Madre is proud to embark on its tenth year of business in 2020 and plans to open its sixth location at Loop 410 & Nacogdoches Rd.

The building blocks of Laguna Madre consisted of fried fish, fried shrimp, fries, and coleslaw. Today, Laguna Madre has over fifty items on its menu. Development of the Laguna Madre menu has come from the third and fourth generation of the Miller family, which includes Terrell Miller, Douglas Miller, and Matthew Vance. Some family members presented ideas, while others created various fish, shrimp, and hush puppy recipes. The Laguna Madre name resulted from serving the Gulf of Mexico shrimp called Texas Browns. Texas Browns are known for being the best and finest shrimp in the world.
Laguna Madre is proud to serve sustainable quality seafood products at an affordable price. Balous Miller’s favorite dish is the Lemon Pepper Cod paired with our homemade sautéed rice.
