Staff was super attentive and seemed like they cared about us! Had the typically small pizza place kind of atmosphere. The price was a little bit high but I understand with the cost of everything now days.”

“We have never been and were excited to try it out after we took Easter photos with our one year old. Helaina was our server and she was such a delight! She was constantly stopping by to check on us but I’m sure it had something to do with how adorable she found our son to be. Lol! She even got the other servers to play peek a boo with him when he was getting bored! Super family oriented atmosphere and the food was phenomenal for the price altogether. We’ll definitely be back again soon for family nights or date nights. Thank you so much, Helaina!”
“Absolutely incredible. A great hole in the wall type place. From the outside it doesn’t look like much but it’s what’s inside that counts. The Philly Cheesesteak was perhaps the best I ever had. My wife had the Italian hoagie and it was outstanding as well. You can’t go wrong with either the onion rings or fries on the side. Will definitely come again when in town.”
“Andy's kitchen is the best place for brunch, breakfast etc. Everything they serve is amazing and the service is top notch ans they give complimentary blueberry muffins!! No more cracker barrel for this man”
“Finally found real micheladas!! This place is so delicious and authentic. The enfrijoladas were delicious! The chicken enchiladas verdes were so delicious, they tasted like the real deal. The service was super nice and helpful. Regarding prices, it is a bit on the higher end but it is definitely worth it.Vegetarian options: Enfrijoladas are delicious! Corn tortillas with beans and fresh cheese sounds simple but tastes amazing.”

“Delicious! My wife and I ordered the tinga chicken tostadas and asado de puerco verde (pork tips) and they were very tasty! Their salsas bring a good heat and flavor to the beans and rice as well. All around very happy and plan to come back!”
“I'm slightly hesitant to share this place for fear of it becoming more popular, but they definitely deserve the attention and business.We stumbled across this place on accident, looking for sushi and our usual place was closed. What a fortuitous accident that turned out to be.This is now the default date night destination for my wife and I.It's not an overly complicated menu but the things that they do they do very well.All the various appetizers are good, but we love the Gyoza. Several good choices for sushi rolls our favorite is the Ronin roll. I am a big fan of the Ronin beef bowl and my wife loves the Nola bowl.”
“I always make it a point to visit when we're on vacation. It's my Sunday morning me time! The drinks are so good and very original. My favites are the Mexican Vanilla and the Almond Joy ? The kolaches and cinnamon rolls ”

“Incredible service followed up with even more incredible food. I usually order the grilled fish tacos that are coated in the most amazing coco loco sauce but this time I got a fried fish basket with onion rings, and let me tell you...BEST FRIED FISH FILLET I have ever had. Not only that, I'm enjoying my plate while listening to an amazing live band play. Definitely recommend giving this restaurant a try - but keep in mind - YOU WILL BE HOOKED!! Fellow corpus chrisit and island folks, take the drive over the bridge to come get some amazing seafood by the Lexington and Aquairum”
“Oliviaella was our server and she provided excellent customer service. She frequently checked on our table to see if anything was needed. She surprised us with a dessert as my husband and I were celebrating our 24th year Wedding Anniversary!!!Thanks,The Woodards”
“Water Street Oyster Bar stands out as not only a staple but also the epitome of elegance in our city’s dining scene.From the moment you step inside, the calm and inviting ambience welcomes you, setting the stage for a memorable dining experience.We started with a dozen Blue Point oysters, each one bursting with freshness and flavor. The selection of local Gulf oysters and other varietals offered a delightful variety. Alongside, the shrimp picayune stole the show with its perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavors, accompanied by perfectly grilled toast points.For our main course, we indulged in the quick and satisfying poke bowl. Opting for the Lulu with yellowfin tuna and the Shoyu Salmon with Atlantic salmon, we were treated to a symphony of fresh flavors. From the succulent proteins to the crisp vegetables, every bite was a culinary delight.Water Street Oyster Bar has truly set the bar high for fine dining in our city, and it’s a place I’ll gladly return to for more unforgettable meals.”
“The food is excellent!!! The owner Ben is fantastic, the employees are friendly.Ask to say hello to Ben, he is certainly hospitable.I used to go to Joe's' but the food and service is terrible. Location can't do justice for the cost of the food.Surfing Crab all the way ❤️❤️❤️❤️Vegetarian options: You can request vegetarian. The owner was very accommodating to my diet restrictions.Parking: Lots free of parkingWheelchair accessibility: Yes! The restaurant is one floor which makes it easier for wheelchairs.”

“My favorite in corpus christi hands down. Those guys run a very smooth operation. Their chicken soup saved my life today and my finances favorite is their tamale plate. Thank you guys!”
“A go-to for a quick jolt of caffeine. The seasonal drink menu is slways changing, and they are all pretty tasty if you want some sugar to go with the shots of espresso. The kolaches are a nice way to start a busy morning while you're there .”
“I went to Joe’s Crab Shack two days in a row. I sat at the bar again and Montana was my bartender. She was very friendly and attentive. She made sure I had everything I needed before I got my food. The manager also came by to check on me. I love the whole vibe there. I love the volume of the music and the music they play.The food was also good. It came out at the right temperature and was seasoned well. My whole experience was great. Montana was so sweet and friendly. She made me feel at home. Keep up the great work! I’ll definitely be back again! ?”
“I have ordered delivery before, but tonight was the first time going in. Everyone was very friendly and attentive, even though they were clearly busy with tons of delivery orders. They definitely have a good rhythm with taking care of all orders.We were able to look at the menu while we were seated and then go up to the counter to order. Our orders were out very quickly. I had the sesame chicken, and my husband tried the Mongolian beef. They were both great! Neither one of us was able to finish the entire meal, but on top of having to go boxes and everything available for us to grab; we were also brought some fortune cookies and boxes at the best possible time.The atmosphere, food, prices and friendly staff are all wonderful. We'll definitely be back! Especially to try some of the authentic Chinese dishes.”
“Two days ago, I went to have my birthday dinner with my s/o, and we are from the opening day era who would tell everyone and their mothers about how great the place is. We have many memories and friendships made through this place, so it's a traditional visit for us.To our disappointment, they have drastically changed. A huge reason my husband enjoyed coming here was the sweet potato fries, and we were informed by that once we finally got a server. (I'm not sure what he was doing, but it was around 20 minutes after we got a table when he showed up.)I understand that the restaurant business is never 100% perfect, so that's not an issue, and our guy got a good tip for his service no matter what occurred.A soda was ordered just before a question for the mango margarita and then two waters. We had our usual appetizer, the Chorizo Queso dip. Always the absolute best. Highly recommend it.I was on the hunt for their pasta, and of course, it's changed to a Cajuin style w shrimp and mushrooms. I'm not a huge fan of either, so I was recommended to try Bacon Chicken Mac.I've had this before as well, and it was amazing the first time, but I can definitely say they've changed the way it's made. I asked for extra chicken as well, thinking it would be the grilled filet cut into slices, and I was seriously disappointed to find small, unseasoned chicken chunks that were chewy and hard to enjoy.The husband had the spicy chicken sandwich with fries, and that was immaculate ✨️I was lucky they gave him a huge chicken patty, and he sliced around the parts that didn't fit into his bread, and I substituted it with my Mac so I could eat. It saved the evening's meal for sure.The server was overwhelmed, and we hardly saw him most of the evening, but the supervisors came over to us more than enough to make up for the tough spot he was in. Thanks for making your services easier on those guys. He kept up with refills and making sure we got everything we needed.The service is great. The atmosphere is always good. Food? Needs to be looked at more closely and held to a higher standard like it was before. We didn't stay for dessert because we had a long way to go back home, unfortunately.I've discussed the quality with some of my group who used to frequent the restaurant, and I'd say we can all agree the food quality has definitely changed from back in the beginning.Parking: Parking lot is neighbors with Walmart and so there is always plenty of parking. They have a huge section for handicap and veterans which is really awesomeKid-friendliness: I would say if your kids can handle loud and dark atmospheres, then it's okay inside. They have baby chairs, too. Outside on nice days is the perfect place to sit with family it's beautiful outside the deck.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes. Plenty of ramp room and seating available”
“Shrimp is amazing and I live the vibe and view of the bay. Would definitely come againKid-friendliness: Kids love it from what I can see. They are running around with a smile on their face”
“Seriously. This is the best cuisine you can have in all of South Texas. Nothing in the Greater Corpus Area compares to the food and service. Eric was our server and he was immaculate. Noah Saenz, the Executive Chef, has made the menu his own and you will not be disappointed. In fact, you’ll be amazed and your expectations will be exceeded when you eat ANYTHING from Prime Steakhouse.”
“The restaurant was clean and had a very relaxing setting. The service was great and the food was fresh and hot when served. Definitely can't wait to try other dishes on the menu.”
“Everything about this place was amazing. If you're into hidden gems with a speakeasy vibe, this is the place for you. From the moment we walked through the doors we felt right at home in this cozy space. The staff and owner(s) should be proud of the guest experience this establishment provides. So first off, thank you all - we had a fabulous evening!We ordered our standard classics: My husband had the Hemingway and I ordered the Boulevardier with Bullet. Both cocktails we beautifully crafted and perfect to the last drop. Our server Brooke was truly fantastic! She easily guided us through the menu, giving us dinner recs as well. We had a hankering all week for tiki drinks and she pointed us to a couple that we on the menu. No shocker, these did not disappoint and were perfectly balanced. My husband is hell-bent on recreating his drink at home because it was just that good!During our time here we were treated to a live singer and her accompanying pianist. When we first arrived we were one of just a handful of folks. However, after we got our first beverages the space started to fill up. With the Bar, Lounge chairs and Tables lining the wall being full of patron, the space still remained calm and relaxing.All in all, this place is must if you appreciate craft cocktails.Note: We went on a Tuesday evening and had reservations for 6 o'clock in the Lounge Seating. I always opt for reservations if available. it's honestly a win-win for everyone. I cannot speak for weekend, but Walk-ins were being accommodated on the night we went.Thank you all again!”
“Authentic Italian place. Really nice atmosphere, and the service was good as well. The food was incredible, and the price was very fair. Definitely will be back.”
“04/07/2024 Dinner. We went for an early dinner. We shared everything we ordered, but basically, it was a dinner for one person that was enough for us both. We had the Seared Scallops entree. I had a bowl of Lobster Bisque, and my wife had a cup of New England Clam Chowder. For dessert, we shared a Creme Broulee.Without reservation, I can say that every item we had was outstanding. The bisque was rich, creamy, and flavorful, with bits of lobster in the middle. Her chowder was hearty, with a robust flavor. We almost ordered a second of each.The seared scallops were excellent. They sat atop spinach and orzo covered in a sweet corn fondue. Even the bread came with butter and herbs on it, pre-sliced.We shared a Creme Broulee that was delicious and not too sweet. It was too big! I might be jinxing this for my wife and I, but it was one of the most enjoyable meals we have had in a long time. We will be coming back!This was a uniquely satisfying meal for us today. Rudy, our server, was great, and the assistant general manager, Amy, was generous with her time and very welcoming. Rudy and Kay enhanced the meal with easy and warm conversation that made the dinner that much more pleasurable. Our meal was uniquely satisfying and an excellent experience for us.Excellent: Uniquely satisfying. A special place.Very Good: Better than expected.Avg: An everyday experience. Just OK.Fair: Below par. Dirty, smelly & or flies.”
“Our waitress was Sarah, she was amazing! She was on top of everything! The food was perfectly cooked and seasoned. When I needed a box for my meal and rolls Sarah offered to bring me extra rolls to take home with me. One critique...the brownie dessert should be heated before serving...it was good and all but being warm would have made it delectable! ?”
“Our organization rented out Hoegemeyers for two events. David and crew were so easy to work with. Both evenings went on without a hitch. A great success and everyone had a great time.”
“First time here.. the New York style pizza was very good and hot. I've never been to NY, but I suspect this pizza was appropriate. I'm looking forward to trying other dishes here.”
“So I’m giving a 5 star because this place is a hidden gem and incredibly nice. But……. The place was dead at 12am on Saturday night. The owner was drunk off his (you know what) (DOHisA) the lady next to him also (DOHerA) the girl next to her was blitzed as in gone. Not a good look for them. And owners should never be behind the bar while drunk. The bartender was new but excellent. The food was :/. With the right marketing and management this place could and should be packed every night its open. There are two bars with in walking distance and should be utilized to y’all’s benefit.You also need to make people feel welcome when they come in and not make it your personal playground, because that’s what it felt like.So please step up your game!!”
“Weekend stop in CC and this was walkable to where we were staying. Even though they were busy we got seated at sushi bar. Sapporo served with cold glasses. Bento box was delicious - chicken with sesame, rice, house salad with ginger dressing, tempura vegetables and a plate of sashimi. They even included two bite size cheesecake - I love a sweet dessert to finish a meal. Server checked on us a few times.”
“Today we placed an order over the phone. The person who answered was friendly and helpful. We ordered tacos with homemade Corn Tortillas which were absolutely delicious. The meat was seasoned to perfection. We will definitely be orderingmore food in the future. A place worth checking out.”

“Food was what you expected at Whataburger. The service was better than a lot of other locations and competitors. The bathroom was horrible, some people are just still childlike. Manager said she would have it taken care of.”
“Laredo Taco Co. Is awesome. The food is made fresh everyday. So are the four tortillas. This particular location has the new tortilla press machine. I've seen the employees churn out round tortillas in no time. Like 3 every 30 seconds. All the Laredo Taco Co.s should have these tortilla press machines, instead of a rolling pin. Also the best meat dish is the carne guisada. As a plus the tacos are less expensive at this location versus other locations. For now on I'm eating here often. Great food. Great prices. Great people. Stop in, you won't be disappointed.”
“The manager of this place is the nicest guy, very energetic quick to great and tries to teach his clerks how to treat people, which is not always an easy task. I watched him make a know theif leave the store and he did it in a way that was nice, polite. I told him, man you just kicked that guy out and made him like it. The manager at the i37 and waterstreet store, should be a trainer in customer service for the entire stripes corporation.”
“The restaurant is very clean inside and the staff is friendly and helpful. The food is served quickly and made to order.If you plan on eating inside this restaurant, it's really cold inside when the air conditioning is on.”
“Elgin Texas...not anymore, every taco missing something, potatoes hard as gravel, half a taco of eggs, etc... just disappointed. 4 folks behind the counter and all of it was wrong.”

“Y’all. It’s not just cool for Corpus, it’s JUST SO COOL! I’m 33F and a lifelong potterhead. Came in for the weekend to visit grandparents and it popped up on my instagram. They were busy but quick, accommodating to allergies, and the over all atmosphere was so dreamy. My kids had Basic Witches (butterbeer-like) and they were able to do one with almond milk for my lactose intolerant kid. I had the Luna Love Apple iced with and extra shot and it was tasty. MUST VISIT if you’re in Corpus suffering Muggles ?.”

“I’m sure the food is delicious every day of the week but if you were not there on March 19, 2024 you truly missed out! There was not a crumb left behind! I had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy and black eyed peas! Cornbread too which was also amazing. The fried chicken looked so good I put the honey and butter on it instead of the cornbread 10/10!! Everything was a 10/10! From the music to the staff. It was me and my best friends first time visiting corpus and we DEFINITELY will be back! Hands down best southern food restaurant I’ve been to. Amber was AMAZING! We even had to let the chef know that he didn’t miss a beat in the kitchen! ❤️❤️ Oh and I had the sock it to me cake for dessert DELICIOUS!!”

Yummy ?Parking: There are a few parking spaces but I chose the drive thru instead.”
“I went to Joe’s Crab Shack two days in a row. I sat at the bar again and Montana was my bartender. She was very friendly and attentive. She made sure I had everything I needed before I got my food.

“The Ahi Tuna and Ceviche was fantastic!!! The chicken fried chicken could be a little crisper and seasoned a bit more but over all it was enjoyable. Staff could've stayed a little more attentive considering it was very slow at the time we visited. I would go back in the future.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Love trying all the flavors of their energy drinks The only thing that bothers me is that their tablet always ask to give a tipIt makes you feel like their employer doesn't pay them so you have to tip ”
“We went through the drive through for drinks as we left our vacation from Port A and came here for a new coffee experience. It did not let us down. I was very impressed by the patience of the gentleman at the window who took the time to answer our questions. We got Carmel frappes and an iced lavender matcha and they were delicious! I plan to visit again and will stop by here then. Great place!”
“They had a variety of decent beers. Laid back environment, and though I didn't try anything, they served food that many did partake in.I will definitely go back.”

“I had the Menudo and it was delicious. Even better were the prices! My wife and cousin had breakfast plates which they loved and I took a few tacos for the road of Barbacoa and Lengua and they were delicious too. It wasn't the prettiest place inside but the food and service more than made up for it. I will definitely be returning soon for some delicious Mexican Food. ??”
“The breakfast buffet is great. As a born southern girl , the grits were perfect , not too thick, and not too thin. The bacon was a little overcooked , so I added to the grits. I had a piece of grilled banana nut bread, which was a first , it was delicious. I am super picky about my eggs, and the scrambled eggs were super fluffy. My husband makes a killer cinnamon roll, and the ones here are ALMOST as good. These are just some of the offerings. Go here.”
“When I tell you this is the best Jalisco I've been to I mean it! This one is even better than the one's near my area which is impressing when I came here I had some chips and salsa as well as a sausage and bean taco the chips were crispy just as they should be they were also warm the salsa was complimenting to the chips with a good amount of flavor but now onto the taco the sausage was flavorful and savory the beans were also very flavorful with the right amount of saltiness I didn't have to worry about adding extra salt to anything and the Tortilla my goodness the tortilla is was SO good it was to the point you can tell that it was homemade and made fresh in the restaurant very soft and definitely was worthy of tastiness my mother also wanted me to type her opinion by saying the carne guisada was by her the best that she's ever had here! To conclude everyone in my family loved their meals they were so delicious and I would recommended this place to anyone! It definitely needs more recognition (^^)”
“This place was sooo good! Kids loved their gelato, we loved our coffee and tea! Really good flavor!Customer service was the best we’ve had in a LONG TIME.Highly recommend this place!”
“Mexican hamburgers are A1 every item on this menu is A plus you can't go wrong don't let this one pass you by don't let it given this place a try will guarantee you come back the staff is real helpful and friendly always willing to ”
“Oh, buckle up, my friend, because I recently embarked on a culinary adventure at the Taco Bell on Saratoga that left me questioning the very fabric of burrito reality. I ordered their bean burrito, and let me tell you, it was like a flavor fiesta in my mouth – a fiesta attended by beans, cheese, and a sprinkle of cosmic joy.The burrito was so generously packed that I momentarily considered using it as a makeshift dumbbell for my next workout. I unwrapped it with the excitement of a kid on Christmas morning, only to be greeted by a burst of beans that rivaled the excitement of a confetti cannon at a party. I'm convinced the chef was a bean virtuoso, orchestrating a symphony of legumes that danced on my taste buds like they were auditioning for a talent show.But let's talk about the service – it was so prompt that I wondered if they had a teleportation device in the kitchen. The staff was faster than a ninja on roller skates, and friendlier than a Labrador at a tennis ball factory. They handed me my burrito with a smile so wide, it could rival a Cheshire cat – though I'm pretty sure it was the burrito that had them grinning from ear to ear.In conclusion, the bean burrito at Taco Bell on Saratoga is a work of art, a culinary masterpiece that deserves a place in the Louvre of fast food. The service was so good; I half-expected a red carpet to be rolled out as I exited. If laughter is the best medicine, then this burrito is the cure for any case of the munchies. It's bean-tastic, and I'd give it a standing ovation if I could still stand after devouring it!Just saying pretty good burrito.Love you Taco Bell on Saratoga.”
“For $5 our Sno-Balls were huge, they don’t even use cups. They definitely use corn bowls and I love it.I got the cake batter which was just as I hoped and so good. My bf got the candy apple which he said was delicious and tasted exactly like a candy.Dietary restrictions: It’s flavored ice, ice cream, or candy! I would recommend one of the fruit flavors for someone with dietary restrictions. I personally had cake batter.”
“Tried this place out after reading the reviews. The food was excellent I ordered the #21. My only complaint is that the tortillas were soft when I took them out of the foil. But, as soon as they hit the air they turned rock hard. The guy working the drive thru was super nice.”
“Very good Mexican food. The Al pastor was flavorful. The queso and salsa are both spicy, so beware if that’s not your thing. I love sour cream, and the side order is a huge amount which was perfect! The tacos, burritos, and quesadillas were all excellent and large portions. Good value for the price. The service wasn’t super and the atmosphere is nothing special.”
“The food was on point and it was fresh, considering we went in an hour before closing. Staff was friendly and patient. Our wait was 25 to 30 minutes and well worth it. Props to Royal Krab.”
“Food was tasty. The tuna tacos were great. Cocktails were pretty high end for a sandwich shop. Craft ice even. I hesitated because I expect to get over iced, syrupy and w/ a chemical red cherry. Pleasant surprise, I'd go back for sure.Kid-friendliness: Had a couple kids options, like grilled cheese.”
“We were not disappointed stopping here for the first time ever. The atmosphere was lively. The staff very professional and though they were very busy. We were seated after a very short wait. The food was amazing. We left full and satisfied. We will definitely be back on our next trip.Please bring a marker to add your name to the many names all over the restaurant walls. Amazing!Vegetarian options: They have salads and other options that are sure to please.Kid-friendliness: Many families here.Wheelchair accessibility: Should not be an issue. Easy access in the restaurant.”

“A bit small inside but thats okay the food was very good, i ordered the omelet with bacon in it. My husband ordered the monster Chachos tacos. The staff are cool and check up on you?”
“The Annex is an amazing spot to hang with friends. The chill atmosphere and delicious drinks made by skilled and friendly bartenders made our trip to downtown Corpus Christi that much more special. I can’t wait to visit again hopefully on a Trivia night or one of their other fun activity nights. We also loved the side patio with the heaters that kept us warm. We highly recommend The Annex and will be back!!!”
“I love the gyros here. Nice and convenient to pick up after shopping, and they wrap them up in foil so it stays warm and fresh until you get home. They are very filling, and are a good price. My favorite is the Lamb, has a very nice flavor to it.”
“Well I was not sure about little chickens so I didn’t try them but I did try the Korean wings and OMG they are so crunchy and perfect on the inside. Flavor was on point. My family also ordered the lomein and fried rice and both were very good. Over all the meal was beyond expectations and we will definitely order from this place again. Give them a try they won’t disappoint just be patient because everything is cooked when ordered.”
“Has to be the tastiest curry in Corpus Christi. If you're new to Thai spices, stick to the mild for starters. Bursting with flavor and won't disappoint.”
“The staff is friendly, the food is sooo good! Everything comes out fresh and fast. I had the carne guisada plate(in the picture i put all that pepper on it myself, it doesn't come like that). I absolutely love the carne guisada but I will say it's not "traditional Mexican" tasting but it's good. My favorite thing is the beans though, they are the perfect consistency and taste so very good! They are open for breakfast but I have gone twice for breakfast and there was nobody there which I can't understand because the food and drinks are great,the staff are nice and the restaurant is very clean and well lit. Go try it!”
“Went 10pm on Tuesday 19 March. Liz served us up so many awesome flavors we never even knew could be dreamed up for Gelato! Popcorn and salted caramel combo, tangerine and Blue Raspberry jolly rancher, and Forest berries cream paired perfectly inside a donut panini with Powdered sugar and fresh Blackberries. ? Thanks for the awesome service and smiles, Liz. Cheers”
“First time visiting here. I had the Reuben sandwich on sourdough bread. Very tasty, hot, and freshly made. The saurkraut on the sandwich is very good also. The meal came with 2 small cookies. Be sure to visit their bakery section for delicious fresh pastries and cheesecakes.”
“Just love to come often when we are in town with friends, family, or ourselves to enjoy fantastic dinners. Great place to chill and enjoy! Great service and staff are super friendly! Want pasta? Want Italian food? This is the place!”
“We had heard so much hype about this place but haven’t made time to try it. Went today for my birthday and I’m upset that we haven’t gone sooner. Our expectations were high and they exceeded all of them! Food was amaaazinngggg and the service and atmosphere just added to it!”
“Today I had the twice baked potato with butter, sour cream, chives, brisket bark all mixed in with the potato and topped with brisket. It was absolutely OUT OF THIS WORLD amazing!!! Jerry’s BBQ is the best in town. If you haven’t tried it, you’re missing out!! I have had everything on the menu over the years and am never disappointed. Thank you Jerry for giving us such great food, a very clean environment to eat your food, and such great music to listen to as we eat. Everything is on point.”
“This place has such a good and friendly atmosphere that makes the consumer comfortable, the workers are so nice and welcoming to their customers, they remember customers that go there often and remember names, they also go out of their way to be kind to others. The drinks are delicious and always come out correctly, they are fresh and never disappoint! I would recommend this place to all my friends and family ❤️❤️Dietary restrictions: They have a warning saying what has nuts and what doesn’t!”
“Super unassuming establishment; however, this place was awesome! There is a really big dive bar atmosphere if you're into that kind of thing. Dimly lit, pool table, small stage for live bands on the weekend. When I came in, there were 10 ladies and gentlemen having an 8-ball pool tournament which added immensely to the ambiance. The food here was incredible. I ordered the voodoo burger and bacon wrapped shrimp. I was blown away by the high quality of food in such a dingy looking place. I'll definitely be returning any chance I get. This is a hidden gem for sure.”
“Nice "hometown" ambiance. Had a Turkey Wave sandwich with chips and cookie. Chips tasted homemade with a distinct saltiness. Sandwich was just the right amount.”
“a down home pizza joint with some of the best pizza I have had. the Philly cheese steak pizza was amazing. make sure to add jalapeños.also tried the cauliflower crust and was blown awayif you are near make a stop and enjoy a slice”
“Seriously. This is the best cuisine you can have in all of South Texas. Nothing in the Greater Corpus Area compares to the food and service. Eric was our server and he was immaculate. Noah Saenz, the Executive Chef, has made the menu his own and you will not be disappointed. In fact, you’ll be amazed and your expectations will be exceeded when you eat ANYTHING from Prime Steakhouse.”
“This place is very nice! The front of the store is very incognito and simple inside. The food quality is AMAZING, the quantity is not. If your ordering an appetizer, believe it will be a small appetizer. But, this is quality vs quantity and quality will win. The price is higher and is definitely for the quality and not quantity. The service was amazing, everyone is super nice. Definitely a 5 star place!I definitely had to eat after I left?”
“We were seated quickly on a Friday night at 7 pm. Robin was attentive and answered any questions we had regarding the menu.The bread as always was incredible and replaced quickly.So I got the Salmon plate with no rice which gave me 3 sides. The Caesar salad and the Mac n Cheese were incredible.My boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed his steak, baked potato and fried okra.”
“Went to pompanos on a wednesday and enjoyed their special extended happy hours for the day. The menu had a wide variety to choose from, as well as their cocktail menu. I will say, it would be nice if they partnered up with local breweries to have on tap such as Nueces or Rebel Toad for example. The beer glasses were extra cold and icy to the touch. The appetizers were very tasty, I tried the gator bites and the black mussels. There wasn’t much service provided, but the bartender was very friendly and attentive when available. I can’t see why I wouldn’t return.”
“Decided to come here on a whim on our way back from a fishing trip. The food was delicious! We had the lomo saltado, ceviche peruano, and grilled cheese sandwiches (for the kids). The flavors were authentic and everything was super tasty.The only downside was that we had to wait 30+ minutes for our order, but in the end it was worth it because we were very satisfied with the food (maybe the wait was because we came in at an off time in the afternoon around 3 PM). Highly recommend you give this place a try!”
“We have eaten at Nolan's multiple times over the past several years while visiting family. This place is a staple for us because of the quality, variety, and price of the food. The salads are fresh with homemade dressing. The meals are perfectly prepared to taste. The only reason for a four star is that I give out five star reviews only for exceptional, exceptional places.”
“Service very friendly and laid back. The burger was really good, and not to greasy. Band was setting up as I was leaving. Did not know there is music, maybe they should advertise that! My dog was welcome on the patio.”
“Authentic Italian place. Really nice atmosphere, and the service was good as well. The food was incredible, and the price was very fair. Definitely will be back.”
“04/07/2024 Dinner. We went for an early dinner. We shared everything we ordered, but basically, it was a dinner for one person that was enough for us both. We had the Seared Scallops entree. I had a bowl of Lobster Bisque, and my wife had a cup of New England Clam Chowder. For dessert, we shared a Creme Broulee.Without reservation, I can say that every item we had was outstanding. The bisque was rich, creamy, and flavorful, with bits of lobster in the middle. Her chowder was hearty, with a robust flavor. We almost ordered a second of each.The seared scallops were excellent. They sat atop spinach and orzo covered in a sweet corn fondue. Even the bread came with butter and herbs on it, pre-sliced.We shared a Creme Broulee that was delicious and not too sweet. It was too big! I might be jinxing this for my wife and I, but it was one of the most enjoyable meals we have had in a long time. We will be coming back!This was a uniquely satisfying meal for us today. Rudy, our server, was great, and the assistant general manager, Amy, was generous with her time and very welcoming. Rudy and Kay enhanced the meal with easy and warm conversation that made the dinner that much more pleasurable. Our meal was uniquely satisfying and an excellent experience for us.Excellent: Uniquely satisfying. A special place.Very Good: Better than expected.Avg: An everyday experience. Just OK.Fair: Below par. Dirty, smelly & or flies.”
“Staff was excellently knowledgeable and skilled with cocktails and food, also friendly and laid back. The drinks were most definitely the best in town. The atmosphere is uniquely nautical. It felt like a true old world Captain's Cabin. Great view as well day or night with outdoor dining deck.”
“We used the party space and had a really good time. The stuffed shrimp, hobo fries and Caesar salad were all good. Got a margarita for happy hour and wasn't really feeling that but couldve just been me. Will definitely go back.”
“Our waitress was Sarah, she was amazing! She was on top of everything! The food was perfectly cooked and seasoned. When I needed a box for my meal and rolls Sarah offered to bring me extra rolls to take home with me. One critique...the brownie dessert should be heated before serving...it was good and all but being warm would have made it delectable! ?”
“Great casual place with 5 star food. Really great servers and bartenders. And wonderful variety of menu choices. Soups and appetizers, entrees and desserts are all great.”
“First time here.. the New York style pizza was very good and hot. I've never been to NY, but I suspect this pizza was appropriate. I'm looking forward to trying other dishes here.”
“Our server Frank was the absolute best! Really great service from start to finish and I love when a server has some personality! Steak was cooked to perfection and my friends and I will definitely be coming back.”
“Nichole is always bubbly and personable! I love seeing her in the mornings to grab my favorite tea or shake because her energy is just always positive ! 10/10 recommend”
“Food was great. Ordered take out. Service was good. Food was ready very quickly. I don't think I waited more then just a couple minutes for the food to be ready.”
“We came here 2 years ago and really liked it, so when we were back in town, we returned for another meal. They were out of the fried eggplant appetizer, which was really disappointing, as it was something I was really looking forward to having again. We had the fried calamari and broccoli instead (the broccoli was very good). The soup that came with the meal was bland, but the meal itself (we had Chilean sea bass and lemongrass chicken) was very good. My partner wasn't impressed with his cocktail (we had gone to BUS next door prior, so maybe the comparison wasn't fair), and I stuck to wine. It's worth a visit, but we probably will try something new next time we're in town.”
“Best Mexican restaurant in the area. Waiter was wonderful. Very attentive to us. I would highly recommend if looking for a Mexican restaurant. Shrimp momia and chicken taco/enchiladas were very delicious.”
“We had a business dinner tonight and just want to compliment Nicolas Hernandez!!! He is the best waiter !!! So Knowledgeable of the wine, food!!! So ! Respectful and so much fun!!!”
“I ordered door dash from this place because I was at work and I was completely blown away. They were on staples and spid and I was on weber and staples and my food was still so hot when I got it. I got the fried roll not sure the name but it was amazing I ate all of it so fast. I will be visiting the restaurant soon. I have to try more.”
“Absolutely Amazing! We live here and this has turned out to be a Hidden Gem! Well not for long I'm guessing! The Plate Presentation was spot on! The Drinks were Perfect! Did I Mention it overlooking the Gulf of Mexico! Wow Beautiful! Chef Anthony Took Great Care of us and we Wanted for Nothing. The Prices are Very Reasonable Especially with Everything your Getting. Do yourself a favor and try this place you won't be disappointed.”
“This is far and away the best sushi I’ve tried in Corpus Christi! Everything was fresh, delicious and meticulously prepared. Highly recommend this place and we’ll be back soon.”
“Everything was great! Food, drinks and atmosphere were all wonderful. My only small issue was the wait time. We were told the kitchen was short staffed so there was a bit of a longer wait than usual. I'd say an additional 30 minutes. But other than that, we were very pleased. And will definitely be back! Thanks!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐We used the Sushi Loft for a Wedding Anniversary gathering, and this place exceeded our expectations! Everything was very clean, and the service was amazing with no flaws or delays despite having a party of 20! Alyssa, our waitress was just the greatest!!!! She was very kind and patient, and very very helpful! We were able to put little decorations on the table, making it even more personal for our event! The drinks and food were fantastic! Michele made sure to answer all of our questions prior to our event and she was very informative on everything! We will definitely reserve this place for future events!!!!”
“Here for the reopening!! Great pool tables, great alcohol selection and draft beer!!!Bartender very friendly! Come show this place some new love! If u have had a bad experience in the past lease come give this place another shot! Under new management and all new staff!! Come check it out! I will surly be back!Happy pool playing ya’ll!???”
“My friends all hyped this place up to us coming here. I'm glad we've came! This place is crowded and we were lucky that we've found tables for our party. Ordering is way different to any other place you've probably been to. Like there are several lines for specific types of tacos you're looking for. In my opinion, it's not really efficient for the customer, it felt it was more efficient for the cooks as they had specific stations to serve from. So if you'd want different types of tacos, you may have to stand in different lines and sometimes the wait is like 10-20 minutes long. Then you had to get in a different line to pay for your food. I think the prices were right, and the food was good. Since we were in a group, we took the concept of divide and conquer to get what we all wanted while saving time ordering and standing in line. There is already plans to visit their flagship location in San Diego when the opportunity arises.”
“Me and my husband Steve had pizza was delicious and my husband Steve had lamb he said was very good and a bread sliced in to dip in some great tasting oil with sort of seeds yummy . We both injoyed every bid , the service was excellent. Can't wait to go back and have brunch and dinner. ”
“Best Bloody Mary's on the island. Great place. Friendly staff, excellent food. The wait (the service is a little slow) may take a little time, but it's not because they're not working hard. Excellence just takes time. A definite spot to enjoy some Bloody Mary's, mussels in their spicy tangle tomato sauce, and great atmosphere on the patio.”
“This was our first time dining at BKK Thai and we had an incredible experience. The food were delicious and fresh. There were plenty of vegan and gluten free options. The service was excellent from the beginning till the end. Christina, the restaurant manager, was super friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. We feel very lucky to stumble on such a wonderful restaurant. ☺️”
“Nolans is a hometown measure. Real food made the way they used too. I remember going there as a small child different location but great food. You can still say hi to Mr Nolan, or his son who are there making sure you are taken care of.”
“Hadn't been in along time and was surprised it wasn't much of a crowd for a Saturday. By 9p bar was pretty much empty.Overall it's a nice little neighborhood bar to go and just have a beer or two..”
“Finally decent pizza with a decent price and good taste. I will be back. Easy phone ordering and they applied whatever take out order deal they had automatically, didn’t even know they had one.”
“(3rd time back)Love love love this place. Ive come back 3 times this week. ?Chicken biriyani again with cheese Nan samosa and gulab jamun(1st review)My first time here and my first ever chicken 64 Biriyani and the bar is set high for Indian food now.”
“Classic fried catfish and seafood. Well executed. Good service, aged interior (kind of dark), and great food. Portions were good, food was fresh, price was reasonable. Worth a stop for some good fried catfish.”
“Doran was an excellent waiter and,took care of everything from the biscuits to the takeout boxes. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is a seafood connoisseur. 10/10 would recommend.”
“I live in california and ordered through grubhub for my sons in copus christi. Youngest(12) said 4.5 oldest (13) said 4 . They said steak was a little chewy but they got it medium rare so I don't know what they expected. And they said the shrimp could've been cleaned a little better. I ordered the family pack 3 sirloin with grilled shrimp Mac and cheese salad and mashed potatoes. Good feed back from the side dishes. I personally will stop by this steakhouse and leave my own review when I go pick up my sons for the summer.”
“Food was excellent, great staff, cleanliness and service. Brisket and Ribs were awesome! I recommended trying the Big Salty 10 out of 10 on that one. Everyone needs to check this place out you won’t be ”
“Real good service our waitress Maddie was excellent-we never had to ask for anything-the food was very good and we didnt have to wait long for our food-when we come back to Corpus we will go back for sure.”
“So wife and I cook!!!! Yet we like to hit the social restaurants life. Each time it's been on point. Food is delightful. Sad few have not had good experience but everyone's palet is different. I recommend 100%percent. Do not confuse it with snoopys restaurant.”
“Awesome bar! It's a large space with great little tucked away areas to hang out in. They have pool tables, darts, football tables, Jenga, beer pong and more. Perfect place to watch the game! Super friendly bar tenders. DJ on the weekends. You can also order food from the Roaming Ronin next door. They will deliver it straight to you.”
“I went to pick up some lunch tacos (carne guisada) oh man, were they good. Its was during there lunch rush, but there service was great, the staff are friendly and quick. I will be back. Maybe some carne asada tacos next time.”
“Had so much fun at this bingo hall with my son! We are new players and everyone was so helpful! They had a fun selection of dobbers for a fair price and had paper and computer options! Food was surprisingly really good too we will definitely be back!”
“My daughter wanted donuts and we saw the taqueria next door while waiting in line. We didn't think it looked very appealing from the looks of the building so I googled for reviews . There were only 2 but both were 5 star. Glad we decided to give it a try. The interior was very clean and bright. I ordered breakfast tacos to go and they were delicious. The flour tortillas were homemade and very soft. We ordered 4 and they were huge! Excellent salsa as well, both the red and green were very flavorful. Would definitely recommend for breakfast!!”
“There sushi is some of the best in town. The tables or booths are spacious. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. They are very attentive and quick. The food is so delcious. The rolls here are unique and well paired. The atmosphere is great! It is perfect for a quiet date night, a business lunch or dinner, or a night out with the family. We highly recommend this place for great food, service, and atmosphere.Kid-friendliness: This place has great options for kids. Even if they don't like sushi, there are many other items to choose from.”
“So good, we returned for a second time! Both times the food was fantastic. Each of the servers that we worked with were very attentive and always made sure that everything was exactly the way we wanted it. Each of the menu selections were Delicious. I have now visited this location a total of four times. Each time is fantastic! If there is a complaint. It would be that the cheesecake is very generic and frozen. But it still had a great taste.”
“My daughter had my grandson's birthday party here and our hostess Mia was amazing and very attentive. We had a large table and booths reserved for our party and she even asked them if they needed anything or if they were OK with a smile. Never seemed overwhelmed or bothered. You don't find many hostesses like Mia. Highly recommend having her as your hostess. Kids had a lot of fun! Thank you for the AWESOME service.”
“This is a smallish place that I have been wanting to try. As a lone diner, I sat at the rather small bar, which could accommodate maybe half a dozen comfortably. When I told the bartender, I had not been there before, I was handed three or four different menus, a testament to their tremendous wine assortment. I narrowed my selection down to an Italian sweet red wine, and ordered the pesto prosciutto flatbread. The flatbread was delicious and almost too much for one meal for one person. I will try the goat cheese flatbread next time. As I sat there sipping my wine, listening to the live music by a single singer/guitar player, and watching golf on the television behind the bar while awaiting my food, I noticed a vat of sangria on the counter. I was super excited, because I love a good homemade sangria. However, a good, homemade sangria almost certainly requires brandy and, unfortunately, if there was brandy in their sangria, it was so minimal as to not be tasted. In fact, I felt like the sangria flavor was totally lacking and for $9 a glass, it should have at least splash of brandy. I will be back, but will not order the sangria again. They also have a wide assortment of bottled and canned beer for the non-wine drinkers in your party.”
“I ate EVERY BITE of this delicious and beautiful crabcake. The restaurant is attractive and clean, the wait staff is attentive and knowledgeable, and the food is amazing and reasonably priced. I’ll gladly return to this restaurant for another experience, as everything that I saw come out of the kitchen looked tempting. I highly recommend this restaurant.”
“This has become our go-to carry-out pizza place. In a few occasions they remade the pizza without me asking because they weren't happy with the end product. That tells me they take great pride in their work.I highly recommend getting the cheesey/garlic bread. It's a big hit with both the adults and kids.”

“My friend Margie and I go often and it’s our favorite place to eat! The food, service, manager, and atmosphere are outstanding! They always greet you with a smile and ready to serve We especially enjoyed the turkey and dressing on Sundays. But, everything we’ve tried has been DELICIOUS! Thank you for bringing back the FUN! to dinning out! ??????”
“Very great restaurant with a lot of nice decorations, different kinds of exotic foods, and it’s not too expensive. I’ll be back soon!Vegetarian options: Upon request if the dish is not clearly on the menu.Dietary restrictions: Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options.Parking: The parking lot can have 5 cars and the restaurant is at 1/4 capacity, but there’s like 50 spots to park.Kid-friendliness: 10 years and younger to pick from 2 dishes (vegetarian or not)Wheelchair accessibility: Seems like a good ramp.”
“This was our first time here and it was definitely a different experience in Corpus Christi. Our waiter Chris was very informative on the menu. He asked if it was our first time which I thought was extremely helpful so he was able to give us some great choices. Great waiter! The fact that they take thier time in bringing you the appetizer and then wait to bring you your soup or salad after your done with your appetizer was the best. Most restaurants bombard you with appetizers, then your salad and you food and your tables covered and you have no room. This was definitely a delightful dinner we finished our appetizer he boxed it up and then brought our salads once we were done then brought our entrees. Perfect timing. The food was excellent. The drinks were great he even went into details on all they had to offer including telling us about the bar in the back with live music. We will definitely be returning. Whether it’s date night or just feeling like some nice ambiance atmospheric time this is the place!”
“The smoothies were so delicious and refreshing. The service was fast and friendly and the menu full of fabulous choices. Highly recommend this smoothie bar for your favorite healthy summer treat.”
“April was super friendly and sweet she recommended as bunch of different things. But I got the sandwich with a side of Mac and Cheese!! BEST BBQ EVER!! She even let me try the coleslaw freshly made, super great service!! Will definitely comeback in a heart beat!!!”

“Amazing bar to visit!... I was on a little trip/vacation and decided to crash to this bar and have a good time with one of my friends. Best decision ever! Staff is super friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxed and feel like family. Customers are friendly as well, so yes... I had a very good time there!”
“Unbelievable place! Highly recommend it! The service was amazing and we felt at home. The owners are very kind people who share their love for what they do in every dish.We had the specials which were very tasty and the soup entrees and salad were also very delicious. Would definitely come back!!!”

“I ordered the philly steak & fries. I was very impressed by the cashier & the cook. They were so respectful. I truly appreciate everyone because they make it worth my drive from Calallen. I wish that other establishments would treat me as well as all of you do. Thank you again for your professionalism.”
“Everything was delicious!We made a reservation but still service was pretty quick on a Friday night at 8 pmOrdered the Torres Triple ThreatAlso ordered the garlic edamame and soft shell crab which my kiddos loved but no pic”
“Took family and friends (party of 10) for a Friday night dinner. Made reservations ahead of time due to party size. We were promptly seated for Hibachi style dinner at our reserved time. The server was fun and perfectly attentive to our groups needs and requests. The chef put on a great show for us and the food was cooked to perfection! Portion sizes were large- we have plenty of leftovers for a second meal! Overall, a great experience by everyone! Pricing, to include drinks and tip, averaged out to about $50 per person. Will absolutely visit again!Kid-friendliness: Chef was attentive to kids responsiveness to his actions and modified them accordingly to keep them engaged.”
“Super fun night! DJ and bar staff were great, attentive, and fun! Owner interacted with everyone! Lively atmosphere & good mix of karaoke and dancing. Great mixed crowd too.... all ages had fun and it was one big party for all of us! No pics because my phone died but I highly recommend this place.”
“This was our first time eating at this place as we are Visiting for Spring Break. It was busy, but our experience was so great that we went back the next day! The food was delicious, the staff were friendly and very welcoming. The prices were not bad and it’s family friendly. We loved it! Highly recommended.Kid-friendliness: Lots of families in the place.”
“Been coming here pretty much since I was old enough to remember and it’s always been some of the best BBQ I have had and I have been to a lot of different cities and states and definitely can’t go wrong with the free ice cream they give u there LOL!! Also they have always hired young people and giving them a start into the working world at a young age and I know they must have some good supervision because they have always been respectful and professional not like a lot of fast food or big franchise restaurants/fast food. Keep up the good work guys!!”
“Not bad! They have a restaurant and a drive thru and I did drive thru for my wings. This was the fastest I got my wing orders ever which was really nice! I got honey bbq and medium I loved both and thought they had great flavor. They also gave ranch dipping sauce and you didnt even have to ask for it.”
“I love Joe's Crab Shack! It's one of my favorite places to go for seafood. The atmosphere is lively and fun, and the staff is always friendly. The crab legs are so delicious, and they have a great selection of other seafood dishes too. I highly recommend giving it a try! ??”
“I ordered the 6 shrimp dinner plus 3 more shrimp for delivery. Fresh. Quick delivery. Accurate complete order. They didn’t forget anything. Very delish! Remembered the cutlery, lemons, and tartar sauce. I was very very pleased.”
“I am from Dallas, TX. I have been to all the clubs in DFW. The quality of sound, DJs, and the staff at this place surpasses that of other DFW clubs. I really enjoyed it.”
“Had a late lunch meeting here and ordered a little bit of everything. The shrimp brochette, pizza as well as the mini tacos— all were excellent.My waitress was Daisy and she kept our drinks full. The bartenders, Kayla and Matt made my martinis how I requested—dirty extra olives. The manager Maurice was nothing but a team player in helping his staff but great at customer service as well! Great place to relax or turn up.”
“My friend and I each had the ? burger with sweet potato fries. Wine and a delicious Long Island ice tea. Service was prompt and friendly.My burger tasted like a steak, juicy and flavorful. I couldn't stop to take a pic, sry.”
“DELICIOUS great service!! But… overpriced me and my mom went to go eat and we got egg rolls and she got a water and I got a small boba and she got pad Thai and I got broccoli stir fry and it was 55.98 dollars! Would maybe go backKid-friendliness: Our waitress daughter was playing around!!”
“I came to the mall yesterday with my daughter and smelled the aroma of the food from here but we had other plans. I came back today to pick up an order from another store and smelled it again. This time I had to stop. One of the gentlemen offered samples of orange chicken and Mongolian chicken. Both were divine. I ordered the Mongolian chicken and vegetables and my husband ordered the Mongolian chicken, king pow chicken, and chicken and shrimp fried rice. We are both thoroughly satisfied with the food and the service. I definitely recommend!! Thanks guys.”
“Tried Granny's for the first time today. I bought chicken, chicken jalepeno, spinach, pork (mild), and pork (hot/soicy), and pan de polvo for my family. I normally frequent another establishment in the city. The tamales were good. My favorite were actually the spinach! All of them had great flavor. The pan de polvo were pretty good as well. I would definitely go back, especially for the spinach! There was a short wait. They take credit cards if you do not have cash. The only reason I did not give a 5 star rating was because the man behind the counter was rude. Especially after being very friendly to the man in front of me....”
“We stopped here to eat on the way back home , we are originally from College station. We ordered beef fajitas, menudo, chicken tenders for the kids, and my husband had quesadillas. The only thing I did not like was the meat they used for the beef fajitas. It was a little tough and dry! Other than that everything else was good.”

“I am absolutely amazed of the quality of the chicken at this location in Corpus Christi compared to the far more disappointing in San Antonio where I now live!That in Corpus had lighter breading and is less greasy than in the Mission City.Need to ask for those in the northern city to visit their partners South and learn.I will always prefer this company’s product above the others as they are consistently better tasting, crispy, and not as greasy as the competition!I will not buy the others despite their attempts to copy the spiciness and the size!I encourage the competition to try to match or supersede Popeyes.”
“¡Buenos días Sonny’s, mucho gusto!Just a great breakfast experience for us. Fast friendly service. Hot tasty comida - barbacoa (mixed) nicely spiced and not greasy; potatoes crispy and hot; beans well-seasoned; homemade corn tortillas highly recommended; red salsa fresh with a nice kick.Unassuming location with limited tables for dining in, but clean and perfectly adequate.If Sonny’s is not a local favorite, it should be!Wheelchair accessibility: Small restaurant with limited seating, but entry and restroom reasonably accessible.”
“This place is amazing and the best Mexican food I had in Texas! I’m from LA and that is rare because I’m picky! Great service and tasty food. I will return to it if I am in the area again.”
“I highly recommend Eddie's it's a very welcoming restaurant. They treat you like family. Very reasonable prices and delicious, mouth watering food. God ? bless Eddie's restaurant and the owners as well as all their employees. They put their heart into making their food. Love it.Parking: Parking is no hassle for me. Always packed with customers but plenty of parking. That's how good their food is that it's always packed. I have not ever had a hard time locating a parking spot.”
“Almost perfect. The only improvement would be the takeout container for fried dumplings. Ours were wrapped tightly in a bag so they sweated and werent crispy when we came home. Still, the flavor is spot on.This is probably the best Chinese restaurant in town now, especially since Hua Tai and Tei Pei closed down.”
“It was my first time visiting this buffet, and I loved it! The server who was attending us was super nice and attentive. The food was delicious as it was super fresh and hot every single serving I had. Would love to visit again soon”
“04/07/2024 Dinner. We went for an early dinner. We shared everything we ordered, but basically, it was a dinner for one person that was enough for us both. We had the Seared Scallops entree. I had a bowl of Lobster Bisque, and my wife had a cup of New England Clam Chowder. For dessert, we shared a Creme Broulee.Without reservation, I can say that every item we had was outstanding. The bisque was rich, creamy, and flavorful, with bits of lobster in the middle. Her chowder was hearty, with a robust flavor. We almost ordered a second of each.The seared scallops were excellent. They sat atop spinach and orzo covered in a sweet corn fondue. Even the bread came with butter and herbs on it, pre-sliced.We shared a Creme Broulee that was delicious and not too sweet. It was too big! I might be jinxing this for my wife and I, but it was one of the most enjoyable meals we have had in a long time. We will be coming back!This was a uniquely satisfying meal for us today. Rudy, our server, was great, and the assistant general manager, Amy, was generous with her time and very welcoming. Rudy and Kay enhanced the meal with easy and warm conversation that made the dinner that much more pleasurable. Our meal was uniquely satisfying and an excellent experience for us.Excellent: Uniquely satisfying. A special place.Very Good: Better than expected.Avg: An everyday experience. Just OK.Fair: Below par. Dirty, smelly & or flies.”

“December 2023Quick and really good, I heard it was good and sometimes would see it get super packed. I met Mr. Hornsby himself nice dude. Fish was piping hot and fresh tasting. Shrimp was fresh too and tasted good. Tartar sauce and fries were good too! Definitely recommend. It was dead on Wednesday but was worth it. Canned sodas are a dollar.”
“Went there today and got a cookies and crème cookie, frosted brownie, and strawberry cake pop. Everything looked so delicious I wanted to buy one of everything but knew I had to pace myself. I was impressed with the price, the store was clean and nicely decorated, and the staff was nice and professional. Ive already tasted all the desserts I bought and they are to die for. So delicious! Definately going there again!!”
“Excellent sports bar and grill on the island. The raw oysters were some of the best we have had in Corpus. I had the chicken fried steak and it was very good. Highly recommended.”
“Always delicious, fresh, and made with love. I have never had a bad meal at Buen Provecho. They specialize in a few delicious things and out time and care into everything they serve.Vegetarian options: They serve veggie tacos, quesadillas and street corn cups of your looking for meat free options. Also a killer poblano soup!”
“The crab rangoons were delicious! The sauce was good as well. I had the Bang Bang Chicken and Shrimp (but with just chicken). The waitress recommended choosing one meat because guests say the chicken and shrimp flavors don’t always complement each other. The dish tasted Great, but was almost lukewarm when it came out. I would get it again because that problem was (hopefully) a fluke. Overall, good experience”
“I went today for lunch, their third day open, and sat at the bar. The service was great, the food was great (and a lot), and prices were pretty good. Hope this one stays around!!”

“We have never been and were excited to try it out after we took Easter photos with our one year old. Helaina was our server and she was such a delight! She was constantly stopping by to check on us but I’m sure it had something to do with how adorable she found our son to be. Lol! She even got the other servers to play peek a boo with him when he was getting bored! Super family oriented atmosphere and the food was phenomenal for the price altogether. We’ll definitely be back again soon for family nights or date nights. Thank you so much, Helaina!”

Not only that, I'm enjoying my plate while listening to an amazing live band play. Definitely recommend giving this restaurant a try - but keep in mind - YOU WILL BE HOOKED!! Fellow corpus chrisit and island folks, take the drive over the bridge to come get some amazing seafood by the Lexington and Aquairum”
“Andy's kitchen is the best place for brunch, breakfast etc. Everything they serve is amazing and the service is top notch ans they give complimentary blueberry muffins!! No more cracker barrel for this man”
“I have never been to Padre Island before so when I asked my local friends where to eat, this was the unanimous choice. They were correct! Fried pickles, blue cheese on the burger, onion rings, French fries, all good after a long day at the beach. There’s not a lot of seating, but a booth was available for my group. Highly recommended for the food and its close proximity to the gulf.”
“Chill vibe bayside eatery with a good menu selection. Seafood was excellent, and there are burger/sandwich options for non-seafood eaters. Denise, our server, was fast and on top of things. Enjoyed the drinks available too. Recommend the 'fresh catch' menu option. It's the catch of the day and was excellent.”

“Finally found real micheladas!! This place is so delicious and authentic. The enfrijoladas were delicious! The chicken enchiladas verdes were so delicious, they tasted like the real deal. The service was super nice and helpful. Regarding prices, it is a bit on the higher end but it is definitely worth it.Vegetarian options: Enfrijoladas are delicious! Corn tortillas with beans and fresh cheese sounds simple but tastes amazing.”
“The breakfast buffet is great. As a born southern girl , the grits were perfect , not too thick, and not too thin. The bacon was a little overcooked , so I added to the grits. I had a piece of grilled banana nut bread, which was a first , it was delicious. I am super picky about my eggs, and the scrambled eggs were super fluffy. My husband makes a killer cinnamon roll, and the ones here are ALMOST as good. These are just some of the offerings. Go here.”
“We had heard so much hype about this place but haven’t made time to try it. Went today for my birthday and I’m upset that we haven’t gone sooner. Our expectations were high and they exceeded all of them! Food was amaaazinngggg and the service and atmosphere just added to it!”

“The ambiance was exactly what I needed tonight. The wait was only 20 mins, and we had drinks while we waited. Drinks were fun and flavorful. The chips and dips were good but the green sauce lacked flavor (add some lime and salt!.). I was skeptical about the food but it was delcious. Beans were a little runny but had great flavor! Our waitress was very polite and took good care of us”
“Everything was so amazing! My family loves to support local businesses and check out new places. My mom and I shared the fiesta platter, My dad got the enchilada plate, and my brother got the tacos alambra. They had flavored teas that were super yummy. Once they, get their liquor license, they will be set.”

“Best Bloody Mary's on the island. Great place. Friendly staff, excellent food. The wait (the service is a little slow) may take a little time, but it's not because they're not working hard. Excellence just takes time. A definite spot to enjoy some Bloody Mary's, mussels in their spicy tangle tomato sauce, and great atmosphere on the patio.”

“Ok I'm writing this review because the way these employees are treated by others is so wrong' I went this morning for breakfast and while I waited at the second window a maroon truck pulled up really fast and the young lady asked her something and the lady from the truck started screaming and yelling at the cashier over a burrito something was wrong with it. I heard the cashier ask her if she wanted it remade and she was very sorry and the woman proceeded to call your cashier stupid. Then the cashier disappear and then came back with a bag and told the woman again she was very sorry and she remade it herself. And the woman told her she needed to pay the fuc* attention when she is making food and to get a real job* this cashier handled it better than I would have. I'm assuming this young lady was the cashier not the cook and they were very busy and no one deserves to be treated like that . Your cashier is always nice and polite when we come . Just wanted you to know your cashier kept apologizing to the lady and the lady kept screaming at her. Great food by the way.Kid-friendliness: Has a small play area”
“Colleen wa amazing! She was super friendly, brought my drinks, very courteous and kind! She always came to my table to ask me if I needed anything else. Colleen was very attentive!”
