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 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

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 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

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

Tried this place for the first time today while driving though Corpus Christi. The service was great and the food was Amazing. Had the "Triple Seafood Plate". 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

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.

Food are expensive for the small portions that they serve. Staffs are rude and place is dirty. I personally didn't enjoy my visit and will not come back for sure. Oh and food doesn't not taste good as well. read more

Love the catfish. The crab stuff jalapeños are great as well. The price is reasonable and its owned by a local family. If you are in the five points area differently give them a try. read more

Unfortunately it wasn't a busy night for them as that's a shame. Not much to look at from the outside (please fix your kinda lit sign), and perhaps a little outdated on the inside too, however the food (pizza) was outstanding as well as the service.

I recently visited Red Boat Restaurant and tried their 3-piece fish and shrimp basket in the…read moreregular style. For $10, this was an excellent value. The breading had a tasty, well-seasoned flavor that really elevated the dish. The food took about 15 minutes to arrive, which was actually a good sign - everything was cooked fresh to order. The restaurant wasn't busy during my visit, so the wait time felt reasonable and worth it for the quality. Overall, a satisfying seafood meal at a fair price. I'd recommend the fish and shrimp basket if you're looking for good fried seafood without breaking the bank. There is a $1 up charge for using credit cards.

Tried this place on recommendation from a coworker the other day. I've got some good things to say…read more& some bad things. Good things first: I ordered the shrimp & flounder plate, shrimp & sausage loaded fries, and a shrimp plate. Order took ~20 minutes or so to make so I take that to mean it's fresh. The flounder was HUGE. Like barely fit in the container huge! The crust was nice & crisp while the fish was wonderfully flakey & tender. The shrimp was fried to perfection as well! Now on to the bad things: the fries sucked! The fish plate & the shrimp plate both came with a soggy handful of unsalted fries. The loaded fries were also quite sad and definitely not worth the price. It wasn't enough fries and since when is "loaded fries" just cheese added on top? The sausage was cooked too hard. Also they DO NOT use deveined shrimp. At least they did not the day I went. I actually look at the food I eat so I noticed & took it out. It wasn't too big a deal for me but I know some people won't like that. Overall, it wasn't bad but it definitely could've been better. If I go again, I don't think I'll get any sides, just the fish.

Since my childhood favorite place was no longer around (and you locals know exactly what drive-in I'm thinking about), I noticed that Banda's opened up a new location that had a drive-thru! Having been around since the 80's, Banda's was a favorite of my dad's back in the day so I HAD to go by and try it out. I ordered the 3F, 3S plate which came with a roll and three sizable fried potato wedges. To my own surprise, was blown AWAY by the potato wedges. They were well seasoned, perfectly fried, and tasted just delicious. The fish filets were a decent size, fried extra crispy and tasted good as well, albeit only one of the filets was plump and flaky inside. The other two were on the thin side. The shrimp was also battered well and a good size and tasted good too. The tartar sauce was also good, although not as good as my old favorite place... but nobody has tartar sauce like that anymore. All around, it was a satisfying meal and left me with a smile on my face thinking about old memories of my dad frying fish from Banda's Fish Market at home. The service was very friendly and the price point of the meal was fair. Finally, a "new" fast-fish place rises out of the ashes in the city I call home. I'll be back.

The hostesses are rude and so disrespectful. I cannot believe that is the "face" of the restaurant- it takes more than your makeup girls! Your attitude needs and adjustment.

Can't talk about the food because we've been waiting almost 2 hours for our table with the hostesses laughing at us when we check on our status.
