I originally tried Nolan's after my wife and I donated blood at the Coastal Bend Blood Center. They gave us a coupon for a free Po' Boy, and that first visit turned Nolan's into a regular stop for us. We've been donating blood every two months since 2016, and if you're not doing that, please consider getting in there and making a donation--it really does matter. No matter what I order at Nolan's, it's always excellent--but the Po' Boy is next level. I order one to go almost every time, and it's consistently amazing. The service is always friendly and genuinely talkative in the best way. The place is spotless, which I really appreciate. The setup is simple and efficient: you order at the counter, fill your own drink, sit down, and they call your name when your food is ready. No waitstaff, but it's fast, smooth, and works perfectly. And the chicken fried steak? Legendary is not an exaggeration. I kept hearing about it and thought, "How good can it really be?" Then I tried it--and yeah, it absolutely earns its reputation. Great food, great people, and consistency every single time. Nolan's is a Calallen staple for a reason read more

There is still constant food and services. Great place to grab a chopped sirloin steak with onions and gravy! Moist patty cooked to my order. I had a baked potato and broccoli for my sides. The baked potato was good, not over cooked and the steamed broccoli with a touch of butter, not over cooked, still had color! We had croutons and cheese, a simple appetizer. The ambiance is a great place to eat and have a conversation with no music and simply decorated. They have a TV in the corner with no volume. read more

I visited this mini-chain restaurant on a recent work trip since I was with my colleague who is picky and only eats American food and it was near our hotel. They have 3 locations in the Corpus area, but this location has the highest yelp reviews. We visited on a weeknight just before closing and they were still pretty busy. The setup is a little different because you order at the counter, but they bring your food and even come to check on you occasionally. I ordered the large cfs since that's one of the dishes they're famous for. The other is their Famous PoBoy sandwich. However neither myself nor my colleague ordered one. The cfs comes with 2 sides and a roll. I chose loaded baked potato and broccoli. They say the steak cutlets are 6oz each, and I removed plenty of breading and still found plenty of meat. The cutlets of cube steak are fairly thick. I enjoyed the cfs; however, I thought the broccoli and baked potato were just average. The dinner roll was pretty basic too and I just ate a couple bites of it. My colleague ordered the catfish and seemed to like his meal. He added a peach cobbler which was served cold and thought it was just okay. He ended up ordering a 2nd peach cobbler at another restaurant in San Antonio the following day which he liked better. Overall. I liked the place, but just for the chicken fried steak and the service. read more

Decided to come here with the family to try out something new-we are always up to trying something new. Upon arriving we noticed the inside was very simple and country looking-which is cute! It was definitely clean-which is a great thing! The food was amazing! All that we ordered was good! Sausage and brisket-sausage were good, not salty, and the brisket was soft which is a plus! Green bean-not salty and just perfect! Mash potatoes- Bread- soft and good(my kids loved it) Cole Slaw- was good, not too much mayo which is amazing, and the seasoning was just perfect! Chicken Tenders- definitely tender-my son was enjoying it and my daughters said it was not chewy like others that they tried. Will definitely be coming back and bringing family from out of state here to try it. read more

I stay away from pretty much everything except the ground sirloin w/gravy which is soooo good and very well seasoned. Chicken fried steak can sometimes be over cooked and is usually over battered, but that is really common for chicken fried steak in this area. The soup option is almost always cream of potato or cream of turkey. Service is hit or miss with friendliness. I am a really friendly person and sometimes the people at the counter bring down my vibe. If they keep making the ground sirloin the way they do, I'll keep going! read more

The fried oysters were really good and had a ton of flavor, the fried shrimp was huge and tasted amazing, the fish was cooked perfectly and was for sure one of the best fried fish I've ever had. The green and the Hush Puppies were great too. Ended up buying some PO Boys to go too. They looked great and I can't wait to try them tonight.

Chicken fried steak is iconic to the south and a true litmus test for an American restaurant. If the crust firmly grasps the meat and the meat is NOT steamed tough in a bloated, hollow flour shell - but cooked to a proper tenderness, then IT'S WINNER- WINNER, CHICKEN FRIED STEAK DINNER! And this one was... And this time was a winner. The secret? Never rush marinading a chicken fried steak before breading and cooking.... Tip: soak the steak in buttermilk we'll in advance of breading it! read more

I coworker and I stopped here for lunch while passing through town. You have to order at the counter, that you give them your name and they will bring you your food once it's ready. I ordered a half of their famous sub which was served warm and came with a variety of meats and cheeses, along with a side of fried okra. My coworker ordered the shrimp Po boy along with the same side of fried okra. The sandwiches were quite good and the food came pretty quickly. The staff was very friendly also. My sub came with no lettuce or frills, but I was quickly handed a plate when asked, at no extra charge. There's not many options for places to eat in this part of the state, so I'm happy to announce that this place is worth stopping, if you find yourself in the area around lunch. read more

Update: We decided to give Nolan's another try since my daughter was in town and she was craving oysters. This time, they didn't disappoint at all. Everything was above and beyond expectations. I ordered the oyster poorboy again and it was stuffed with fried oysters. My husband got the chicken fried steak and he was very happy with everything on the plate. Daughter got her oyster dinner and was smiling the whole time. Everything tasted fresh, service was prompt and polite, and the food was amazing. Even the other customers were all smiling and polite to each other. We had a nice conversation with a neighboring table. All in all, Nolan's deserves 5 stars.

I pick it up close to 5 I got home at 710pm I went to season the meat and slab of pork ribs was missing i called and left a message. No one called i called Wednesday the lady repeats my order like I didn't know what I bought over there. She get the owner to call back he tells me he packed it himself and all my food was there I said first it wasn't second why would that make a difference who packs it i dont you or anyone who works there nor did I see you pack it and I dont care who pack as.long as my food is there. Then he said what you want me too to do. I said you tell me the owner then said well I can gave you 10 dollar what you paid to cook that ribs I said and where is the cost of the meat at. He repeat I can give you 10. I told him it seems that you need that meat and 10 more then I do but believe me I will tell everyone I know that you all steals and to make sure when they say you dont have to check you better check because that means they stole your food. That only makes me think about all the meat drop off and paid 300 and 250 for them to cook the meat if really received all of that meat back. Who knows if they not whiching out people meats too. But what I do know we will never ever use them again. A smart business person would of said What can do you can come in and get 3 lbs of pork ribs or your choice of meat to make it right. That's how you do business. And it wasn't about the missing meat it was that man kept saying OVER OVER YOU DONT NEED TO CHECK THE OWNER PACK IT. WELL THE OWNER CANT COUNT AND HE STEALS .

The beers my wife had were very tasty and fresh. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The facility is nice, clean and pleasent to enjoy an adult beverage. The BBQ did smell amazing and they have the complete Texan condiment bar.

we stopped here after our trip to the aquarium. It was pretty quiet at 3pm on a Saturday…read more Staff was friendly. Choice of beer is good. I question why a cider was twice the price as beer... $12 vs $6. But the food was good. We had ribs and brisket. Generous portions and we ended up taking some home.

I can't believe I've lived in Corpus Christi for six years and never tried our local five-pound ode…read moreto Tex-Mex breakfast cuisine. I was surprised when most of my friends and coworkers had never even heard of it, and later, I gleefully showed them pictures of the baby-sized taco I ordered. For $12, you can't go wrong. The looks of awe from the faces of the children at the next table as they brought the foil-wrapped wonder out, were worth it alone. It came with potato, sausage, bacon, brisket, chorizo, egg, and cheese. I finished maybe an eighth of the taco there, and my boyfriend couldn't put down any more than a quarter of it at a time, afterwards. It was good enough to have for nearly every meal between the two of us until it was gone the next day. Portion-wise, it would probably feed four hungry adults with no leftovers. I only wish it would've been more chorizo-heavy, but this is a minor gripe. No-substitutions, otherwise I would have ordered it with more chorizo and potato, and less sausage. Be sure to take plenty of pictures, because this thing is impressive and you're sure to be the envy of your friends on social media if that's your shtick.

The food, the employees (family owned), the atmosphere was nice and quiet. It is a very cozy place…read moreand they were so kind to us. We ordered our food and as we waiting they gave us complimentary conchitas and they were AMAZING! I ordered the brisket chalupas and they were fantastic! This place is definitely 5 stars!!
