During the Corpus Christi VB water crisis they were charging 2 bucks for a bottled water? RIP OFF !!! A case of 24 is only 3-4 dollars. Nothing like trying to screw faithful customers. Just because we are in a water boil doesn't mean you should break it off in your clientele. If I was manager at that time, I would have offered it anywhere from free to 50 cents.... Profiteering during a crisis??? Bad bad business folks. read more

It was OK. I had the 6pc shrimp, my husband had a fish po'boy and my girl had the chicken strips. The shrimp and po'boy were good but my daughter didn't like the chicken strips. The waffle fries weren't the best and I didn't like the tarter sauce. They charge 75 cents for refills which kind of sucks when the drinks were 2 dollars. I wouldn't make a special trip out here but if you're hungry for seafood and in the area, give it a try. read more

I tried the shrimp po boy and boy is it delicious, the breading on the shrimp has just the right crisp and so tender at the same time !!! The hush puppies are sooo good if you like a little spicy you'll love them very flavorful.. Customer service is great , food is hot and fresh !! I will definitely be returning !!! read more

Small place. But really good food. I had the shrimp po'boy. The bread was warm and toasted. The shrimp were tender and crispy at the same time. Awesome sandwich. My friends got the special, fried flounder and fried shrimp, and they were raving about it. It was my first time. But not my last. Planning to try the fish tacos next time! read more

I ordered the flounder and asked if they could blacken it, when I got it it was wrapped up in tin foil and not blackened, ask for cocktail sauce, for my shrimp they informed me there would be a 40 cents, I don't know what they think cocktail sauce is, but what they sold me wasn't cocktail sauce. read more

The fried seafood is among the top five in the Corpus Christi area. This place does not get enough love and appreciation.

I go to King Seafood for the Drum Fish I love the seasoning and the fries. The staff is so awesome every time I go and serve my food with a smile and talk to me if I need to wait for the food. No matter when I go my food is always hot and good. Thank You, April Thomas read more

Don't trust the menu prices pictured on here. They have gone up so much in price so add $5 to each item. I thought it would be cheaper than Boat n Net hope, wrong. read more

Was visiting Corpus and wanted to find an awesome 'hole in the wall' restaurants that served some good ol' fried shrimp. I wasn't too sure what to expect while I GPS'd the location and when I pulled up- low and behold; a small, shabby restaurant located not in the prettiest part of town. Don't let the looks fool you though- although the inside was small (just a few tables but they do have drive through service), the food was AMAZING! I had gotten the fried shrimp basket but got coleslaw instead of fries, with a side of hush puppies! Everything was AMAZING (I was impressed with the coleslaw- most places just fake it to make it but you can tell King Seafood put some love into it). Everything was fresh and clean and super yummy! The homemade lemonade was especially good! Staff was very nice and even though it may look dingy on the outside- it's very clean on the inside! Prices weren't too too bad either as we all know seafood isn't necessarily the cheapest! Def try it out(: read more

Interestingly enough from looking on the outside and being a small place I was not expecting much but was surprised to be served delicious food. Fresh food. It's biggest drawback that really is tough is that they do not accept American Express. Makes it tough on you if you're a business traveler coming through and that's what you carry but the food is worth it. It does have counter service so don't go expecting anything else. Food is worth the price. read more

This was delicious. The portions were huge, it was seasoned well, the prices were fair. If we lived here, this would be a place we would be coming to repeatedly. It's a hole in the wall, tiny little restaurant and that's exactly what the look and feel of it is. This isn't a place to come for atmosphere and I didn't expect it of it. This is a place where you come for the amazing, greasy food. We had oyster and crab po'boys (came with waffle fries), stuffed crabs with sweet potato fries, hush puppies, and cheese poppers. My kids said the husb puppies were too spicy for them and the poppers were spicy as well, so just a heads up if that's an issue for you. read more

Shrimp cocktail was delicious. Food was fresh and fast. Their staff was polite and extremely nice.

Super busy and Uber small but the food was delicious and fresh off the grill. Sweet potato fries were also very crispy and good. We almost didn't go in because it was so small and so many cars that a man is directing traffic. Don't let the appearance stop you. read more

Delicious fresh seafood, reasonably priced, perfectly fried, and served on paper plates. It really is a hole in the wall. It's a small serve-yourself type place. It's my favorite local restaurant for fresh fish. read more

Found this little JEM on yelp, otherwise I wouldn't of stopped or known it existed. It's one of those small hole in the wall places where you can't wait to return. I had the shrimp POboy, it was incredible. The wife had the fish, shrimp, and stuffed crab combo. The stuffed crab was only thing she didn't rave about but only because it was to many textures at once and she is weird with textures and being mixed with food. Their tartar sauce is incredible too. The only thing I might change on my order might be no fries. While the seasoning was excellent, they were just plain waffle fries. I would rather get more shrimp or hush puppies. We will be visiting this place again when we come back. read more

King Seafood - The shrimp Po boy sandwich. - Seafood Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Food is very good, not fast food prices, but no very expansive. I have seen cleaner places but it fits the hole in wall atmosphere. My second time here so it must be pretty good. read more

My family stopped by here on our way to Port A, they did not disappoint. Large portions, fresh, and quick. The high chairs looked brand new and clean for our 1 y/o to sit in. We ordered one of each variety of Po Boy, the oyster was the best. The prices are VERY reasonable for the size of portion you get. The only "complaint" is about 4 times while we were eating we had people come in trying to sale fruit cups, candy apples, and banana bread. read more

So glad we stopped in here for lunch. Oyster poboy and fish poboy were great. Oyster wins though. Got the hush puppies bc other reviewers suggested and they will not disappoint. The fried okra was a hit as well!! read more

This is my go to for ghetto love! Fried flounder is the best, Second to Black Damond and that's saying a lot! If you"we in the hood and want some good eats, I highly recommend this small joint! If you'll ever decide to move one to the south side and some investors, count me in. I know it will be a hit! read more

We were asking for recomendations to a good seafood place and they asked us: do you want a fancy place or a place with good and fresh food? We chose good food! They were not wrong! The freshest fish and shrimp i have eaten in a loooong time. Nothing fancy, you order and pay at the first window and pick up ar the next. Only hand battered fish and shrimp but never frozen! delicious!! read more

best seafood ever, i'd rather go here than any fancy restaurant! the special is my personal favorite, so delish!!

I spent an hour searching seafood places after a day of site visits and meetings. At first I concentrated on places along the bay because restaurants closer to the water are supposed to have fresher seafood. However, no restaurants along the bay got glowing recommendations; they were all pretty mediocre. That's when I extended my search radius and found King Seafood. Great reviews - I was sold. I ordered 6-piece fried shrimp and oysters no fries, a crab a la carte, and hush puppies. (I had gone for a jog along the boardwalk in the morning and had a light lunch. By 5pm, I was starving.) I CANNOT WAIT TO GO BACK AND DO IT AGAIN. All the seafood was fresh and delicious. The breading was just perfect - subtle and tasty. The hush puppies were the best I've ever had. They were seasoned perfectly. The crab stuffing was perfect. Everyone should go... now. Right now. read more

I followed the advice of my fellow yelpers and gave this place a whirl tonight while visiting Corpus Christi. And I'll just say this: you people are CRAZY if you think this place has good seafood. It's barely a step above Long John Silvers. My shrimp tasted like the shrimp I could get from the frozen seafood section at walmart. In addition to that, it was SO HOT in there. The heat from the kitchen comes through the window you order at and there is no ventilation in there. My boyfriend literally had sweat dripping from his face. It felt like we were suffocating in there. Yeah, it's affordable but you definitely get what you pay for here- cheap food. Never again! read more

We chose this restaurant after checking several reviews in CC. We are in town for a couple of days and wanted to make the most of our meals. The food was okay at best. They are very rigid with their menu and drink refills. Four of us eating, and our bill was ~$45. I love fresh seafood. Have enjoyed fresh all over, Alaska, San Francisco, Galveston, Northeast Coast, Florida... I would bet money that the shrimp were from a box. The fish was ok, but not special. You will get really full, but I'm not sure it's worthy of 4 stars. read more

Thanks to YELP for a great lunch. The food here is top notch and the prices are amazing. 3.50 for a huge fish taco can't be beat. The neighborhood is rough - not for those who can't hack the barrio - but well worth the drive, and there's a drive through so you don't have to get out of your car. Going for the stuffed crabs next time. read more

This isn't a big place. There are 7 small tables for patrons. The menu is a good size, although just about everything is fried. The food was satisfying, Waffle fries and shrimp. Service was prompt but curt. Almost no money was put into creating an atmosphere of this place. read more

I ordered the King platter which contained a flounder fillet, waffle fries, four shrimp, roll. Awesome tartar sauce and Lemon wedges. Everything was very delicious. I wasn't too impressed with the shrimp. It lacked flavor. Everything was batter-fried and it wasn't too "bready." My wife ordered the catfish platter with waffle fries. She loved it! I ordered. Small cole slaw to try it out and it was tasty. The man taking our orders was sooo nice and respectful. They have a drive through! read more

First visit to King's. We recently moved to Corpus and have been looking for a great seafood restaurant. This isn't it. We ordered a #23 (2 fish, 2 shrimp, 2 oysters and 1 stuffed crab), a King flounder platter, 8 piece shrimp, order of onion rings and a side of hush puppies. It was about $43 total and neither of us were impressed. The highlight of the meal was the flounder. It was a nice sized filet with great seasoning and fried perfectly. That's about the end of the praise. The other fish, along with the shrimp and fries and everything except the oysters were obviously frozen. The oysters seemed fresh but the breading was total mush. The fries were soggy and nothing special. The food wasn't BAD, but it certainly wasn't worth over $40. There was nothing in the meal that I couldn't get in the freezer section at HEB. The biggest put-off for me was that they charge $2.25 for a side of hush puppies and you get 4 that are literally the size of large marbles. They actually taste good but they, along with everything else we got, seemed way over priced for frozen food. read more

Excellent! The seafood was fresh and perfectly cooked. Try the flounder, it was the best I have ever had.

I had the grilled drum platter and opted for potato fries. Good portion of fresh fish, nicely seasoned and cooked perfectly. Everything else was generic and nothing special. (Roll, coleslaw and fries). Come fore the seafood, not the sides. Overall good value. read more

Great fish and oysters but the shrimp is clearly the frozen kind you get at Sam's. Probably won't be back! $45 for two semi good seafood dinners served in a paper tray? No thanks!!!!! read more

Love this place. Cheap and good food made fresh to order. Love the 1/2 pound shrimp and fries which is enough for two people to share. You can't beat the prices on fried seafood. Kind of a small place but we use the drive-thru and go here often. read more

The hush puppies, cheese poppers, shrimp and fish poboy are the bomb. The prices are more than fair and the sauce they use is delicious. This place looks sketchy but the food here is really good. Not in the best part of town but worth the trip. I've been here a couple times and the only reason I give it 4 stars is because the people seem kinda sassy and I found a hair in my food, but those things happen sometimes. It's still really good. read more

This place was fantastic! I swear my fried flounder had never been frozen! Perfect seasoning! Liked having choice of salad. Small place and when the run out of something, they mean it! Try the drum read more

Great seafood - small place - don't let the look of it fool you - it was some of the best flounder, shrimp and oysters I've ever had - very good pricing - enjoy read more

My man was told to go here. It was ok! I'm not really a fried food fan but it was just ok. I won't pick this place if we are going out to eat. You get your money's worth though if you want quick fast fried food. Shrimp was the best. read more

So, the food is good, I've been coming here for a long time and these guys get a lot of business and i have noticed because their prices went up! lol, and am starting to not come as much just because the amount of food you get is not equal to the amount of food there is on your plate. I Love the food but your hurting my wallet and I'll probably still go because am a fatty and i love their seafood but it would be like once a month or maybe even two months. A place that lives up to their name, they are the King of seafood! read more

Excellent! I had the flounder with shrimp and everything was perfectly cooked. The fish was fresh and had a golden brown crust!

Very fresh seafood! No complaints! I recommend ordering to go since the lobby is very small. Flounder is a must!

Not too shabby. My wife and I got there too late to dine inside (as dine-in is closed an hour before 9pm). So drive though it is! We decided to eat our meal at the bayfront. We both enjoyed what we ordered, no complaints whatsoever. Bottom line... we got what we paid for and we'd do it again. read more
