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!“

“Amazing local seafood joint!!! AK was our server and she was the whole package. 💗 She sold the menu, the homemade details, the family business, she made us feel like family and THE FOOD 🤩🤩🤩 soooo good!! I wish I could package the flavors and bring them back to Wisconsin. The oysters 3 ways were very flavorful and even a hit with our kids. What a wonderful hidden gem!“

“I flew into town for a week and pre ordered meals to avoid fast food places while in town and I’m very happy I did!!! Chef Tony absolutely killed it everything I ordered was delicious and I ate like a king in my hotel room all week for much cheaper than going out to eat everyday. 100% will be ordering again the next time I’m in town!!“

“Food is great and home cooked.“

“We ate there for the first time last Friday night. We almost decided to go somewhere else because of how crowded it was. I am sure glad we didn't. The ocean view was gorgeous, the music (Jerry Wade) was a perfect blend of the best songs. We ordered shrimp cocktail and loaded fries as appetizers. The shrimp was the freshest I have ever had. It was so awesome! I ordered the seafood salad, the seared ahi was perfectly spiced and cooked. Unfortunately, we are out of towners or else we'd be there regularly. ❤️“

“Wow- great casual atmosphere with amazing service from a team of dedicated folks that seem to care about everyone. On the water, breezy, live music, super cocktails, and delicious food. Everyone seemed to be treated like a VIP. Truly a great EXPERIENCE and the experiences in life matter!“

“We stayed at the Doubletree from the 6th thru the 11th of Sept. Tim, Samantha, Chris the Cook were the most wonderful staff. They went above & beyond to make our visit top notch.

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.“

“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.“

“10 out of 10 wonderful service and food great atmosphere!!!!!“

“Food was excellent! The enchilada burger it unforgettable! Service time was appropriate for fresh made burgers and staff was very friendly and helpful. I took one point for atmosphere ONLY because it haa a very bar type vibe and we visited with a young child. The vibe wasn't bad and there was plenty of seating away from the bar area on the patio though. Overall, an excellent experience.“

“great place and friendly“

“We enjoyed a large group meal here for lunch with our football team and Gus and TerriAnn opened the restaurant an hour early just for our group (we filled the restaurant). The food was absolutely delicious and the service was wonderful. 10/10“

“Great seafood and crystal was an excellent waitress“

“Wonderful customer service, yummy eats, drinks, and great experience. The management and staff made us feel welcomed, even our little one. They also did a fabulous breakfast with Santa for Christmas, also a really great experience. Definitely a favorite place for our family, their fabulous manager and his staff alway makes us feel so welcome.“

“☆☆☆☆☆☆
Here today; gone TAMALE! Best tamales in town (so far). These sell out fast prior to holidays, especially Christmas. Regular pork are our favorites. Spicy are too hot. Just the perfect balance of masa & meat filling. Only tamales sold here (not a restaurant) & priced right. Sold by the dozen for pick up only.“

“I recently tried the gizzards from Pete’s Chicken, and they were so good! They were cooked just right, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with really great flavor in every bite. You can tell they were made fresh and seasoned well. I also noticed the batter is lighter compared to the gizzards from Chicken Express, which made them feel less heavy but still really satisfying. Definitely hit the spot if you’re craving good comfort food. I would definitely recommend giving them a try if you’re in the mood for some good comfort food.“

“I was honestly surprised at how amazing the food is! Wow!“

“Madi, our server, made my daughter’s 21st bday one to remember. My family and I had a blast. I definitely recommend!!“

“Great service! Thanks Jack, you are a great!“

“Food is …meh Easy in easy out“
