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!“

“Portis Kountry Kitchen is hands-down one of the best spots for true Southern comfort food. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and fried to golden perfection—crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The meatloaf was absolutely amazing—tender, flavorful, and smothered in just the right amount of sauce. Every bite felt like it was made with love. If you’re looking for a place that feels like home cooking, this is it. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

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.“

“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.“
