    Current Menu prices that went up

    Updated menu prices 9-6-25 prices are reasonable. I appreciate the service was quick and I didn't wait long. I also like how prices are posted before ordering .

    Snapper platter with potato wedges & a roll.
    Monica G.

    I LOVED this place. Listen, if I'm headed to a place where there is a beach, I'm having seafood SOMEWHERE. I was staying downtown and took a little 10 minute drive to this place. Don't let the neighborhood fool you. This place was delicious & inexpensive. I ordered the snapper platter. I wanted a side of coleslaw, but by the time I got there (4:00ish) they had run out. The snapper was so fresh with a nice crispy batter. Ugh it was so good. It came with three large potato wedges which also had a very LIGHT batter on them and I loved it. Personally, I am not a fan of beer battered fish, so I'm glad this one was the grainy type. I also don't eat rolls and even the roll was good!!! Lol Not a big selection of soft drinks so I ordered an unsweet tea. It was the brewed tea not instant so that is a plus for me also. Very simple, clean place. Wasn't crowded when I went, but there were people coming in & out for to go orders the whole time I was there. My cashier was very friendly also. If you're in Corpus, definitely put this on your list to try. I come to this area every several months and plan on hitting this place up every single time from here on out. Ps. The platter comes with tartar sauce, but I'm not a fan so I asked them not to put any on my plate.

    Drum and fish, shrimp platter.

    Great food great seri. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Want you enjoy a good meal. We had drum and shrimp and fish. Good stuff. Prices are very reasonable.

    Great seafood if you are in Corpus Christie. It's a small hole in the wall establishment and majority of customers take their food to go. The inside of the restaurant needs a renovation big time. Panhandlers were also coming in and out trying to sell you stuff while you are eating. There was not really anyone policing that issue. You are kind of on you own in the dining area if you need something you have to walk to the window. The menu is written on the wall and they have two windows to order and pick up. The great food is worth the visit. The portions were huge and the coating on the fish was crispy and fish itself was tender. Definitely stopping by here again but taking my food to go.

    2 shrimp and 2 fish with 3 potato wedges, roll and tartar sauce

    First time ever eating here, and there's no regrets! It was soo delicious! The shrimp and fish were huge! Tarter sauce has a little kick to it, very good but different! Customer service was great and didn't wait too long. There's no place to sit inside but that was ok.

    Fish, shrimp, oyster combo (2,2,2 or "P")

    Great hole in the wall fried seafood. You get you order, at a very fair price. Just a note, the pricing is a little off. Items I, N, and Q are are over double the price of G, L, and P. You get twice the food, but no potato wedges. Just FYI. And the onion rings are the best!

    First time here and I was very skeptical to eat here because the look of the building outside was so old and I normally get grossed out by things like that. When we went no one was dining in lol but I will say that the place looked as clean as it could be in an old building like it is so that was good. The man who took our order didn't really greet us, so that was kind of weird but the food made up for it. We ordered the fried fish, shrimp and oysters with potato wedges and OMG... it was soooooo stinking good!!!!! I was so surprised lol everything tasted fresh and perfectly fried. The fried fish are small pieces, not a fillet, so keep that in mind when ordering. They give you a roll, lime and tarter sauce so we didn't have to ask for anything else. It's definitely a hole in the wall place but it's so worth it, please try this place!

    Double Grilled Veracruz. Awesome.
    Jerry R.

    The best thing on the menu is a Double grilled Veracruz. I have ordered it many times and it's just perfect. Get 15 Potato Wedges as well. This combo will serve two people. The grilled or fried fish fillets are also groovy. Pass on the small chunks of fried fish, mainly breading. They never seem to have Cole Slaw available.

    Double flounder to go SOOOO GOOD
    Marco G.

    Came back yet again this time I picked up the double flounder for my entire family three in total. They were all fresh hot and tasted so good. I don't know what kind of seasoning do you use or what process but it always taste consistently good. And the huge potato wedges with a little lemon complement the flounder so well. And then the delicious Hawaiian roll.

    Fried snapper, potato wedges, hush puppies and jalapeno peppers.

    First time here. I came because of Yelp comments and I like small local restaurants. Fish was fried to perfection. Potato wedges were battered in the same breading as the fish. Very tasty and they were huge. I ate inside, it was clean and the staff was friendly. I definitely recommend the food.

    Great little family neighborhood restaurant in Corpus Christi. Nice alternative to the touristy…read moreplaces in town. Both the food and service are great. Fresh oysters on the half shell from nearby Copano Bay. Fresh seafood choices are quite nice. Decent bar with beers on tap. Reasonable prices.

The restaurant is located in a strange space right where Airline and Cimarron intersect; it's a bit hard to find. The inside is painted bright sea blue with nautical decorations with about 20 tables. The menu contains mostly seafood but some chicken and steak selections. We ordered fried grouper/shrimp platter with okra and cole slaw and grilled shrimp with rice pilaf and mixed vegetables. We were given a bowl of fresh potato chips, warm from the fryer - they're good, but I would suggest salt and seasonings, maybe even a sauce for dipping as they are bland. Bland seemed to be the cuisine of the day. Our fish and shrimp were not seasoned very well, and needed more salt/pepper just to be palatable. The tartar sauce is very tasteless as is the cole slaw made with mainly red cabbage. The okra was fine, the hushpuppies were forgettable and would benefit greatly from a little jalapeno, onion, corn or pepper. Grilled shrimp was good except for the seasoning and the pilaf was okay, but who raves about rice pilaf? Steamed veggies (yawn) were yucky. Even a cheese sauce or butter sauce would have improved the flavor. The portions of grouper on the fish/shrimp platter were tiny - about the size of a half dollar and there were only three of them. At the price you would expect a little more. The shrimp on that platter were large but overcooked. Everything tasted fresh - - no complaints there. The service was attentive and friendly. The restaurant is clean inside and has a full bar. Total for two platters, two teas was $46.88 without tip. With just a few tweaks this restaurant would be five stars.

We ate there, vs. to-go, they have a fairly large seating area. They also seemed like they are doing a lot of to-go orders. We were seated and they brought out ceviche and fried tortia chips and crackers. It was delicious and had a little spice with a really nice fresh taste. The two salsa's were also very good, one was on the milder side and one was hot. My wife had the Camarones Zarandeados (Grilled shrimp with home sauce). It comes with several shrimp and rice. It is marked mild, my wife thought it was a bit spicy but loved it and eat it all. I had the Huachinago Al Gusto (Red Snapper natural) with Diabla sauce. It comes with rice, a piece of bread and a salad. The picture shows it with fries but I didn't get any. I was okay with that as it was very filling and delicious! A musician came in and played some music on his guitar and sang, that added to the entire experience. If I lived here I'd be visiting here a lot.

It's open-air and sits right on the dock, so you're literally eating over the water, which makes for a fun experience. At first, I was a little disappointed because I realized they had changed their menu and some of the items I was looking forward to were no longer available. But we decided to stay and give it a chance, and I'm glad we did. I ordered the Build Whatever with blue crab on a bun. The blue crab was fresh, well-seasoned, and really flavorful. I also got an aioli sauce on the side, which paired perfectly with it. My husband ordered the Poke Tuna Wrap, and it was phenomenal. I ended up loving his meal so much that I'll definitely be ordering it myself next time. We also shared the ceviche, which came with tostadas and saltines. It tasted incredibly fresh and was the perfect thing to eat on a hot day. One thing to note is that they don't serve any fried food, but everything we ordered tasted fresh and high quality. Their cocktails were excellent as well. I had a raspberry lemonade cocktail, although I can't remember the name of it. It was delicious and refreshing. Overall, the food, drinks, atmosphere, and waterfront setting made for a really enjoyable experience. We'll definitely be back.

While the…read morefood was done well and our waiter was attentive, the atmosphere was anything but welcoming. Upon arrival, the hostess insisted we look at the menu before entry because "our menu is a little strange," or something along those lines. While this was certainly a strange greeting, we still, of course, wanted to eat at the restaurant, as we had already looked at the menu prior to arriving. As if I wasn't already feeling unwelcome enough, the hostess also thought it relevant to mention that we barely got there in time because they would stop taking tables after us, even though they had an entire hour before closing. On top of all this, the hostess made comments about where I decided to sit, saying something along the lines of, "Are you sure you want to sit over there? It looks too sunny." So, after being told that my palate might not be sophisticated enough to indulge in their premium cuisine, and essentially being told that we were an inconvenience for coming in an hour before close, yes, please question the spot that I am choosing to be seated in. Lastly, I also overheard a waitress complain about not being able to leave because a party was still eating (despite there still being 45 minutes before close). Overall, the atmosphere from the staff was unwelcoming and unprofessional. The food is the only thing that may bring me back in the future.

This place does have some of that, but they also offer a good mix of seafood and less typical options, which stood out. I went with a Texas plate with cheese enchiladas and carne guisada. Not the most exciting choice, but it ended up being one of the better versions I've had. The sauces tasted homemade and the guisada had that slow-simmered flavor. The flour tortillas were made in house, which is a big deal for me and not something you always find around here. My brother ordered the ceviche and the portion was massive for the price. He couldn't finish it and had plenty left over, and said it was excellent. My son went with a burger and cleared his plate, so that says enough. My mom ordered enchiladas stuffed with carne asada and covered in queso. If I had paid closer attention to the menu, I probably would have gone that route.
