The food was good! I ordered onion rings as an appetizer and they were breaded really well. I got chicken alfredo for my dinner and it came with garlic bread. The pasta was delicious but the garlic bread tasted fruity for some reason. My mom ordered shrimp and it was way too much breading. The ambiance was lacking, and wasn't much peace due to shouting kids and us being placed in the back. Service was great and live music was great as well! Prices were also decent. Three people ate for only $60. read more

It's a pirate themed rock and roll restaurant and bar that's family friendly enough to bring kids. The atmosphere is fun, the music is good, and the staff look like they are having fun and care about your experience. The food is good and the drinks are tasty. It's not upscale, but it is tasty and worth a stop. Go, enjoy a little. read more

Fantastic food and service! I ordered the blackened fish tacos and they were delicious! These tacos are pretty big. The service was outstanding! Ask for Megan G. when to go because Megan made my whole family feel welcomed. The atmosphere makes you feel like you are on an old fashioned ship...except the rocking back and forth. :) When in Corpus Christi, I highly recommend Blackbeard's on the Beach! We forgot dessert so we went back. The coolest guy, Jagger H., took our to go order. The Blackberry Cobbler Cheesecake Pie is incredible! Definitely worth checking out. read more

I really enjoyed my stop at this pirate themed restaurant. The cheese dip was actually not bad, and I'd recommend it. Service was very friendly and pleasant. It's not super fancy, but I'd come back! read more

I had the chicken sandwich a couple times and it tasted great. They give you a huge chunk of chicken that's larger than the bun. The service is speedy and friendly. I also like the atmosphere. It's family friendly and there's plenty of seats. read more

I stayed at the wonderful hotel right across the street from Blackbeard's. I just walked across the street to this nice little restaurant. Blackbeard's has a fairly extensive menu of choices but I just ordered the fried shrimp as I so often do when eating out. Food was very good and waitress was always on the ball if I needed anything. I will be back on my next trip down there. read more

Awesome place! Food was fresh & friendly staff. Would definitely recommend. Can't wait to go back to try more options on the menu. read more

Frankie and Sue - What a lovely dinner we had tonight! My husband had the shrimp basket and fries. I had the trout fish of the day grilled with a side salad and potato salad. We even got a side of boiled shrimp to take back to the hotel for our pup. Christian B. Our waitress was amazing. I could have talked to her for hours. We will be back for one more meal before we leave. read more

Located right behind our hotel so grabbed a quick lunch as we got into town. Had the Top Shelf Margarita flight and the only one we enjoyed was the Patron. One I just left there as it tasted like pure alcohol. The other two I only drank cuz I paid for them. I usually like a variety of tequilas in my margaritas but not this time. Shared tacos and queso: the tacos were good. The queso was more like doctored up canned cheese. Not sure if we will return. Staff was friendly. Restaurant was cold but they were good about turning off the ceiling fan for us. read more

Delicious all you can eat fried shrimp. Megan was our server. She was outstanding! The food came out quickly and hot. read more

Food was okay... Service was great by everyone but my server. Kinda hectic. Lucky to have table by live band guy.... not!

Wasn't sure what to expect because of the mixed reviews but, the food was delicious, the service was great from CC. We went around lunch time(12ish) and it wasn't very packed, not loud and played some good jams! I would recommend the baja tacos, tasted better than they looked on the menu! read more

Outstanding Service from Jagger at Blackbeard's in Corpus! I had an amazing experience at Blackbeard's in Corpus Christi, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible server, Jagger! From the moment we sat down, Jagger was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. He had great menu recommendations, kept our drinks full, and made the whole dining experience fun and enjoyable. Not only was he fast and efficient, but he also had a great personality that made us feel welcome. If you're visiting Blackbeard's, I highly recommend asking for Jagger--you won't be disappointed! 5/5 stars--will definitely be back! read more

Blackbeard's On The Beach - Seafood Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Incredibly disappointing. The staff was not particularly attentive - we had to flag someone down to take our order. My husband's salmon special was incredibly salty and his steamed veggies were cold. The coconut shrimp on my sampler tasted exactly like the frozen shrimp I buy at HEB and pop in the air fryer. The fishtanks we sat next to were in need of a clean, which isn't super appetizing. There are just too many other good places to go; Blackbeard's isn't worth the money. read more

Visited here for dinner after a beach stop. No wait no rush. Got seated. No booth just tables and chairs. We received a high chair for our daughter. We ordered couple waters and soda. My son ordered chicken Alfredo. My husband ordered fish tacos and seafood queso. I did not know what tk order I feel there should have been more is a seafood menu and more options so I stuck with a grilled catfish and baked potato and charro beans The seafood queso came with shrimp and lump crab. It was really greasy, no shrimp in it but I did see the lump crab meat. The nacho chips they gave us were stale and hard. My sons Alfredo was way too garlicky and salty. My charro beans were hard and not cooked all the way. The waitress was super friendly and nice no complaints there at all. Wish there they a broader menu for being "on the beach" I was looking for ceviche or fresh seafood. Looks like fried was a big hit there I just wasn't looking for that. It was nice temperature inside. Parking was a bit tricky but nothing crazy. Bathrooms were nice and clean as well. read more

Food was cooked to perfection. Service was great went alone on a sunday after church. Great ambiance. Will be back alone or with friends andfamily read more

Went there 2 nights ago. Server was Stephen. He recommended the margaritas flight to drink. So good. Had the ribeye steak. Grilled to perfection. Ambiance was superb. Enjoyed the band playing 70's music. read more

I asked for cheese for my burger about 2-3 times and our server (cece) refused to bring it to me, as another worker walked by we asked him and he had to bring it out. Again our server (cece) never once checked on our table as we were eating or anything until we go our check! Blackbeards has been a favorite of mine, but just very disappointing read more

Great food and amazing service! Ambiance was nice. I had a tortilla bowl soup with some fried mushrooms and I thought they were amazing! Later had a cup of black coffee that was phenomenal as it wasn't watery. It was pure, delicious black coffee. 10/10 would return again. read more

Not just your typical beach restaurant, yes the walls were solid brick, but a necessity to survive in this location!! The waitress was very friendly, the food came quickly and was very good. I had both shrimp and crab meat with every bite of salad, all the way to the end of my plate!! Excellent combination! read more

Blackbeard's has to be one of my favorite accidents yet! Located on the opposite side of the bridge from where I was staying, my goal was to go to one of those charming hole in the wall by the sea restaurants I love so much when I travel to the beach and wow did I (or should I say, Apple Maps) pick right!! Blackbeard's is the kind of joint my grandpa would take me when I was young, that lead to my parents taking me when I was a little older, which lead to me loving the vibe so much myself as an adult. The laidback service and great food (not to mention drinks) are exactly the kind of relaxing experience you want at the beach. In an even greater stroke of luck, this evening came with live entertainment in the form for Ruben Limas. Somehow a man I had never heard of before sat on a stool calmly belting out songs that pulled memories I didn't even know I had. Being serenaded to Jimmy Buffett's "A Pirate Looks At Forty" while enjoying a cold beer and the spicy pescado diablo pasta was the absolute highlight of my trip. Everyone in the place seemed so happy to be there, staff and patrons alike, and I can't wait to go back and unwind next time I find myself in town! read more

Good food but they have a long wait time for a table mine was 20 minutes don't get the fettuccine it's a scam for 10.99 it's not that much to get me full I like the idea of the restaurant it's a nice pirate themed restaurant good music good service the ambiance was loud but comforting read more

After a long day of competition we had the pleasure of relaxing to live music, delicious food, and a fun staff! Service was great and the live band made the evening a treat! read more

Our hotel was just down the road and we'd driven most of the day and wanted something close. Kids ordered a burger with fries, I ordered the tacos, and my daughter ordered the fettuccine. We finished it off by sharing the brownie explosion. Burgers had a good grill flavor with a cute pirate toasted into the top bun. Fries were the best!! Little bit of coating on them and fried crispy perfect. Tacos had the perfect blend of savory, sweet, and spicy. Charro beans had large hunks of fat in them. It was mostly the lack of cleanliness that I gave them two rather than three stars...there was not a place we saw that didn't have a layer of dirt and dust and I've worked in food and beverage for 10 years...if the restaurant is not clean, the kitchen probably isn't either. Service was kind and accommodating. read more

Early stop in and ordered a drink and then the app sampler. The Dynamo sauce had turned and tasted like oysters. I let the bartender know, was she took off the bill, thankfully. I was surprised it was even an additional part to the bill. The wings had a drizzle of Frank's hot sauce on them. When I was done with my appetizer and ordered another drink, they asked if I was ready for my bill. I wasn't and was going to order dinner, but at that point I figured I wasn't welcome any longer since I complained about the sauce. read more

We came with a large group on a weekend and were happy to find that we got good service.  Water glasses stayed full and beer kept being replaced. One of our meals had cold veggies--but they were replaced quickly.  Their fried shrimp was oily.  The calamari was cooked just right. The Diablo pasta was very tasty. Other friends had no complaints about food. Enjoyed the live music. read more

Really good food and the vibes are nice 10/10 took my wife and she enjoyed the afternoon there

Service was awful! Too long to order after getting our drinks then when we did order that took long. Food was cold and missing items. Kept hearing the cooks say hold the tickets! That should have been a sign to us from the start! Several customers got up and walked out because they were not acknowledged after being seated at their table! read more

Delightful! Fish of the day was absolutely delicious. The servers were great and the ambiance is kitschy and fun.

The atmosphere was fun. Beautifully decorated for Halloween. Food and drink excellent. Bar tender fun and helpful. Our waitress, Dominique, was outstanding: her costume was detailed, her sense of humor was contagious, and she was very attentive. read more

Excellent food period. Server CC experienced and dances with the customer by knowing when to show up and check in. Tequila flight was yum. I had fish tacos and hubby had build your own burger... the bread was super fresh! Just go... always busy. read more

This was our first time to visit Blackbeards and we were incredibly impressed.
