“You had some issues tonight. I ordered for pickup and was told to “come on”. Got in line, paid, and was told to park, and they’d bring it out. Text arrived saying it was done. 5....10.....15 minutes later, no food. Went inside and it was sitting there......cold. I don’t like having to reheat shrimp. My last trip was NAILS. Drove up, paid, hot food in my hands, and go!“

“Amazing Experience at Railroad Seafood & Brewery – Downtown!
I had an absolutely wonderful time during my recent visit to Railroad Seafood & Brewery – Downtown. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The food was amazing — flavorful, fresh, and perfectly prepared.

What truly made our experience special was our server, Grace. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure everything was just right throughout our meal. Her positive attitude and friendly service added a personal touch that we really appreciated.

I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food, a fun atmosphere, and outstanding service. Can’t wait to go back!“

“The food is very delicious!, super good seasoning! excellent service!, and quite reasonable prices!
The only thing that doesn't help the business is the unpleasantness of all the homeless people hanging around outside.
And they leave garbage and belongings thrown outside.“

“Wow! I've never eaten at the Cheesecake Factory and I'm 65 years old. I can only say I'm so glad I found this place. I thought it was mostly cheesecake and maybe a hamburger or a hot dog or something. I had stopped in one in San Antonio and looked at the Cheesecake counter only to find slices with 1300 calories in them. Oh my gosh how did they get that many calories in there! Well tonight I ate in there in Corpus Christi. They have a full light calorie menu from which I ordered lemon and garlic shrimp with angel hair pasta 550 calories. It came with two types of delicious bread and butter. The sauce was divine and there was parsley in little pieces of tomato in it and I'm telling you that's one of the best meals I ever ate. I will definitely be back in there to eat at least that again. The other menu was huge as well . And so varied . Now let me talk about the cheesecake. The piece I had 1100 calories in it. It was Basque cheescake. Had no crust and was brown all over. When I was a kid living in Massachusetts my grandmother would bring home cheesecake occasionally from the Jewish bakery. We called it New York cheesecake. It was delicious and I never forgot it. I have never seen it since until I came to the Cheesecake Factory at the age of 65. I've lived in Arizona Texas Georgia South Carolina Ohio Washington State . I've looked up recipes under New York cheesecake because that's what we called it. Never found the same thing. Then I saw it. It was sitting in the back of the case and it was brown all over. And I thought even though it wasn't as tall as how I remember what my childhood cheesecake was it looked very similar so I got it. I'm happy to report that now I know the name of the cheesecake and can get the recipe online! Or I can just go back to the Cheesecake Factory and get another piece! Although not as tall and not as light The Taste was dead on. It came with blueberries and strawberries and lots of whipped cream. I don't need all of that just the cake is fine. Happy Feet Happy Feet.“

“Stopped by before road trip to Fort Worth. Absolutely incredible 🤤🤤“

“I read the reviews before I went, I was really hungry, with 4 hours to wait on my flight. I asked my server what he recommended, Cagun chicken sandwich and fries. I was quite surprised, service was quick, wasn't busy, the fries were hot and crispy,. The sandwich had tomatoe, onion ,lettuce, lots of spices, The bun was fresh. The food was good,This was my experience.“

“The taste of these tamales are really good! Spicy pork are really really good with just enough grease to give it that tamale feel and taste. The only thing lacking here is there are no spicy bean. If only they had that I'd give it a five-star, and at $12 a dozen they might want to consider putting a little bit more pork inside the tamales.“

“Great seafood and crystal was an excellent waitress“

“Great place to have a good time and eat“

“My family and I realized at this last visit we are now regulars ! � One specific employee remembers us each visit and this time remembered what we order! It was special and welcoming ! �“

“our server Brian was the best. He had an amazing attitude. The manager was awesome as well. The food was to die for. I got the eggs Benedict and the brisket sandwich with the stack of pancakes. I will be coming back.“

“Serrano omelet and Philly cheese steak. Awesome food. Laura was a great host, super friendly“

“Listen, this is legitimately one of the best seafood spots in town. Top 2 best bread pudding I’ve ever had (best in corpus, so far!), and that’s because I took it home and snagged a bite (or 3) before I put it in the fridge. I’ve never been disappointed eating here, and the prices are incredibly reasonable! I remember when they were at their old location, and it was just as delicious. Don’t sleep on this place if you want some quality seafood with multiple choices of fish. They even seasoned the perfectly cooked asparagus. The little details show that they care. Y’all keep killing it in the kitchen! ❤️“

“My friend and I couldn't stop talking last night plus today about the best burger we ever had, we couldn't decide where to choose and not only did we make the best choice but it was also money well spent. Great service, amazing food, and an atmosphere that felt welcomed to walk into.I had "The Lulu" burger. When we finished, I literally walked to the front and told them that was the best burger ever and where the Jalapeño jelly came from lol. We Germans love jelly and how it complimented the burger with the smoked bacon, slice of cream cheese, and jalapeños!? My friend had a different burger, but we couldn't stop about it all day and how we should've gotten one to go before we took off. I definitely found my permanent spot to eat from now on, and thank you for making that happen!“

“Food was great and service was great! Great job to Dale our server“

“I highly recommend Smokey Rooster's. The prices are great and the staff is friendly/attentive. They have a variety of food a little something for whatever your craving may be. Everything I have tried has been delicious!!“

“One of the best brisket sandwiches I’ve had in corpus!“

“We have been multiple times, and the food is always great. Tonight everything looked and tasted SUPER EXCELLENT! Cathy's Boutique always has amazing finds, and the tour boats provide a memorable experience for individuals and families or friends. There are so many wonderful team members -- from the hosts and waitstaff, to the chefs and bussers working behind the scenes. (and don't forget about the amazing food available in the Mariner, up the stairs from the Boutique)“

“Our server Shannon took amazing care of us! She is so attentive, professional, and multitasking and taking care of literally the entire restaurant like a BOSS. The cook Chad is always serving up fire food. I highly recommend adding some cheese, bacon, and onions to the hash browns. Such an amazing upgrade to elevate the hash browns! 10/10 recommend!“

“I am a local wedding planner and recently coordinated a wedding there. It was an amazing experience! Casey, the manager, was so accommodating and helpful! The chef, Jackson, made an incredible meal that the guests raved over. I highly recommend BUS's event space! I can't wait to work with them on another event!“

Parking: Huge parking lot, one of biggest problems for most restaurants on the island, but not at black sheep.“
