The oysters on the half shell were wonderful, and crabcakes were delicious but can't say enough about how amazing the bloody mary was. Delicious one I have had ever. Service was excellent as well. Highly recommended! read more

Maybe the food is Good... but the waitress forgot to put our order in. So we just waited 40 minutes for nothing..... good bye

Food is rubbish! Place doesn't appear clean. Service is decent but seafood is frozen and chewy. Inside smells horrible. I can't see how the place stays open. read more

awesome food but the short!!! person would never check on our food and she was never busy me and my dad kept on asking to talk to her she never came but awesome food read more

My first advice I would give is to not let others bad experience steer you away from here! That being said we took a small vacay to corpus (north beach) for a reggae island night that fajitaville was hosting on Saturday. Sunday we decided to get dinner here before we headed back to SA. First off we were greeted by a few team members there which already put us in a good vibe. Our waitress seated us quickly and got our drinks jus as fast. Now I'm only adding this because I am a mother of three. She was clearly pregnant about 5 months and when I tell you she didn't let that change her fast and friendly and accurate serving I mean it! She was so pleasant and when we changed our minds about a few times about our order she didn't make a fuss or roll her eyes in irritation! On top of that our food was da bomb (whole fried snapper & 1/2 pound snow crab legs) Our group has already decided to make it a tradition whenever we go to stop here!!!! read more

Brought my wife and kid to Lexington and after we stop by at the restaurant they where about to open. Staff was friendly and the wait was not that long. We order whole snapper and shrimp cocktail. The food was ok I recommend if they don't over fry the fish to much and the fries need to be more crispy other then that it was a great experience. read more

Pier 99 - Fry snapper we where hungry and we dig in before I could take the picture. - Seafood Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Stopping at Pier 99 when in Corpus is a must for my family and I! I love that they're still around. It's conveniently located right by the Lexington so we took advantage and had lunch before the museum. Food was great with service to match. I totally recommend the fri d calamari and onion rings! So worth it! I usually order the fish and shrimp platter but with the appetizers I decided to go for fish platter (they had a 7.99 lunch special). The shrimp platter seemed a little sad looking and I'm kinda bummed that we missed the live music but I'm sure it won't be our last time stopping by :) read more

Wow! I had heard rumors that this place was delicious but boy was I surprised! The food was so good! I ordered a Cajun broil (my favorite thing) and i thinks it's safe to say that this was the best broil I have ever had. It was cooked perfectly, not over seasoned and had a great portion! My boyfriend had the fried fish and shrimp platter and he was also incredibly satisfied! The place has nice vibe, very surfer bar ambiance with nice servers. Definitely stop here! read more

This place is only meh. The waitstaff was great and the live band was nice but the food was mediocre. I ordered the peel and eat shrimp and it's literally boiled shrimp with a little spices thrown on top. My husband ordered the fish tacos and was happy with it. My father ordered the shrimp cocktail and had a difficult time finding any shrimp. It was walking distance from the hotel and right next to The Lexington and the aquarium which is why it is likely successful. We also ordered calamari and the portion size was on the small size and a bit chewy. read more

Awsome view!!! Chill outside live music is nice... food good drinks yummmmm... just hope for no screamin around runnin kids

Exceptional food and service! I will eat here again in the future! Wait staff were great too! I loved that this place has live music and a great selection of drinks. read more

Good and friendly. Seafood boil was very pricey but pretty good. Little salty for my taste but the drink specials were great, staff was friendly, and atmosphere was awesome. Solid 3 star almost 4 but $62 for a salty seafood boil is too much so that drops it to a 3 read more

We absolutely loved this place and it was our favorite experience during our four-day weekend at Corpus Christi. We were seated on the patio and had prompt amazing service while being serenaded by a really fun live band. Everything we ordered tasted amazing. The fish was very fresh, everything was well seasoned, the drinks came quickly, and we had such a ball requesting music. Even the weather was perfect. Next time we come to Corpus, we will most certainly return! read more

Our food was great. Fresh fish great flavor. Burger was fat juicy and hand pressed. Typical service for the area for spring break time but I'm not going to hold that against them. The guy did the best he could with the crazy lines of people. Kitchen turned our food out in :25 minutes which isn't bad for the lines of people during spring break. read more

Food sucked. Ordered crab cakes for my wife and fried snapper. The crab cakes had tons of sand in it. The fried snapper was not flaky and over cooked. The new potatoes tasted like old potatoes. The roll was the worst roll I've ever tasted, very bland and dry. The coke I ordered was watered down and flat. The service also sucked. The only ones that seemed to enjoy the food was the stray cats. The other customers were feeding them. I guess their food sucked as well. This place used to be good many years ago. Now it's like a tourist trap. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

On business trip and very disappointed to learn they don't accept American Express. So be careful if you are expecting to use your Amex card here while on business. Food was not what was expected. Server forgot about me. Will not be back. read more

Meh... Took a long weekend break to Corpus with the wife. She was craving seafood and we were staying down on North Beach. After trying to decide where to eat, she decided on Pier 99. It was fairly busy when we arrived. Although so was everywhere else. We got seated fairly quickly. Wife ordered fried fish and I had the large garden salad with chicken. The fish was dry. Almost like it was over cooked. Fries had way too much seasoning. Just not appetizing. For a seafood joint, seemed like it was their first-time cooking fish. Salad was good. Wife ordered a strawberry margarita. Again, WAY too sweet. Good thing we had water to wash it all down. I guess this is what you get when you go a tourist area. Can't say I'll be back. read more

Back in August, on a Corpus Christi trip, I had gotten a flyer for this restaurant and went in a little concerned with the bad reviews. Upon arrival, I noticed they charge for parking, not their fault as I believe the city is the one who added the meters, but next time I'll just leave my car parked at the aquarium and walk over, it was only $2 anyways, not a big deal. You can tell it's a family-run operation the second you walk in, the building has lots of unique decorations scattered about, and all the furniture appears to be homemade. I will say it would have been nice to have AC given it was 90F outside, but they did have fans to help. Entry can be a little confusing, too, two doors look like they are the front door but are only for restrooms/exiting, the main door is in the back. Our waiter was there fast, and she was friendly the whole time. I ordered a burger as I do not personally like seafood, and was happy to see they have a menu dedicated to nonseafood items, which I'll take over a restaurant with only one or two options any day. My mother, who was joining me, had the catch of the day blackened. The food came out fast and was delicious. Everything was well cooked, and my burger was perfectly seasoned. The fries were also nice and crispy and were fresh. The price here was extremely cheap too, which was an unexpected but pleasant surprise. Overall I had a good time and will return here next time I am in Corpus. read more

waited 1 1/2 hours for our food, had to ask for the chips and salsa after an hour. when our food finally came, one order was still missing and one was incorrect. we didn't get utensils and had to ask for them as well. we won't be returning, save your time and eat somewhere else. read more

Came here for dinner but won't be coming back. Only thing good about this restaurant was the view. Bar service outside was beyond horrible. Waited an hr for a table. Inside dinning area smelled like a port a potty. Order the shrimp platter and the fried fish and shrimp platter. Shrimp was mediocre and the fish was nothing but bread and bones. Brought it to the attention to our waitress and she spoke with the manager who only gave a $3.90 "discount" now on to whataburger down the street read more

Don't Do it Folks!!!!! This place smells terrible!!! It was dirty. Food was terrible. The worst was the service!!! Upon arrival and during service, our server never smiled. I asked the server for some ice water and she pointed to my melted cup of water. So, I guess I got that point...gotta drink the warm water before you get a fresh cup. Two of us had to actually get up and go ask for condiments and extra silverware even after we asked the server for them. The hostess said she only had 3 wrapped silverware left. Our server added 18% gratuity on the check because there were six of us, so her terrible service was rewarded. Gratuity is supposed to be added because serving six people is busy work. When she saw me up asking another server for mayo, she passed by me and sipped on her water while he fetched it. LAZY! read more

My party of 4 was seated at 10pm and seated at 10:20pm. By 10:40pm we still did not have our apperizers. We canceled our order at 10:44pm, only to have employees talking about "wasting food." An employee followed us out accusing us of not paying for our margaritas.The bartender verified that we did in fact pay for our drinks when we first arrived. Our server Sal was very slow, didnt bring all our waters, was not friendly. I would not recommend this place based on service. Unfortunately, our food never came out, so I have no opinion on that. The restaruant was not busy at that time, most of the staff was closing out, literally right beside our table. read more

Staff was on top of service. Stopped in for lunch after the USS Lexington tour. The food was fantastic. I had the burger and fries my wife had the snow crabs. Everything was fresh. Would recommend. read more

I have no idea why this place has such poor reviews because I've been two nights in a row and have had excellent service and good food. They have live music every day, which has been wonderful. This is just a totally relaxed, chill place to drink a cold beer and grab dinner. Nothing fancy but exactly perfect for what it is. read more

Hurricane Harvey made us cancel our wedding (which was to be at Rockport beach) so we had a small private ceremony on the beach and then came here for a late lunch/early dinner on a Wednesday and the staff were awesome! The food is pretty standard fare for the coastal bend area: heavy on the fried seafood but it's pretty good. Don't miss the onion rings and calamari! This review is 5 stars for the staff though. We, admittedly, were pretty demanding with regard to moving tables to get out of the sun and keep our group of about 14 together and they bent over backwards to make us happy and it was appreciated! No restaurant is perfect all of the time but we like this place - it's perfect for what it is: a casual bar/restaurant on the water that offers a great view and a decent meal with a great staff. We will be back. read more

Wish we had opted for Blackbeard's even though we've never been. The only bright spot was the bartender who seemed to enjoy his job. After being seated outside when we requested inside, an obviously grumpy hostess seated us inside where we thought it would be air-conditioned. We found inside does not equal air conditioning. Ordered fried mushrooms (frozen and too salty), gumbo (blahhh), then made the mistake of ordering the fried shrimp platter. After watching the lady at the next table eat her boiled shrimp, I REALLY wished I had ordered that even before I got my plate. Then I really WISHED I had. Blah fried shrimp, frozen French fries, vinegar based coleslaw (don't remember ever not liking coleslaw... this was a first) and blah hush puppies. Boyfriend got the fish and shrimp platter but added the snow crab. It was the only good thing at lunch. All the waitresses seemed tired and irritated. Add the fact the men's room restroom was out of order and the line for one restroom was always long, it was a terrible $70 lunch. I don't recommend this place. Honestly, I never leave reviews (I know, I should) but this place had me writing while we waited to pay the bill. read more

The Macho Gumbo was awesome. The whole place has vide. The bad this was the waitress sucked I had to constantly ask for her and wait for while I could see her talking and playing the other staff read more

Great place, with a wonderful view of the Lexington Ship and the cross over lit up bridge. The food was wonderfully delicious, and the staff was fantastic and caring. The waiter James kept treating us so joyful at whatever our needs were. The manager or owner came by our table and asked us if we' were enjoying the service . I will give this place 30 stars if I had my choice read more

Service was horrible , from the hostess stand to the server. Took over 15 minutes to get a beer. Food was mediocre at best .

This is by far the worst restaurant in Corpus Christi, being not only an insult to paying customers but also an eyesore inconveniently located next to the magnificent USS Lexington. My family visited this location in June of 2015 as we were hungry and wanted to eat something before taking a tour of the Lexington. Unfortunately, what began as a simple order for beverages quagmired into a 50+ minute wait for the drinks. Furthermore, we were conveniently told it would be a 2 hour wait for food after we placed our orders. Overall, Pier 99 is like the beaches of Corpus Christi; an overrated tourist trap that reeks of garbage. read more

Took my family here to eat at night we all got sick. While still eating they turned off the lights. Overpriced for two kids and 3 adults we paid over $200.00 lol for the worst customer service and food. read more

Food was excellent and service was terrific! Love the location right next to our hotel with a great view of the bay. Such a great restaurant! Really glad we decided to eat there! read more

This place is under rated (if you sit outside). Inside in the "AC" was very disappointing. We moved outside and the atmosphere was awesome! Nice breeze and live music. We took our 2 children under two and had a wonderful time! Very good crab cakes and Ceviche! read more

We got to the restaurant and had the worst experience! Don't go, there are cats walking and jumping into tables inside the restaurant ! We got there and waited over an hour and a half for appetizers, waiter was horrible he could care less if we were upset! We inquired about our food and his reply was it's not ready and at that point we decided to leave, his reply , good night ! I could not believe this employee treated a table of 7 an easy 200 dls this way! I'm sorry for the owners ... I'm glad we decided to visit a restaurant down the street BlackBeard seafood got seated right away, Nancy our waitress took the drink and appetizers order and came back just minutes after! The food was delicious and had the best service at Blackbeard seafood restaurant read more

Waited much longer than we were told we would have to and then got seated in the "inside" dining area that is hotter than the outside area. Waited another 10 plus minutes until our server showed up. Took forever to get our food and the food was horrible. Waitress actually told us not to order certain things on the menu bc they are not good. I don't think that's ever happened before but she did us a favor in hindsight. Don't waste your time or your money here! I'm now back at my hotel room and starving bc we never really got to eat anything after 3 hours of misery. read more

Great view great service Great Bloody marys! Had the fried shrimp was awesome deff will be back read more

Pier 99 - Seafood Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Welp, if you like sitting with a drink and not eating or getting refills for 50 minutes, this is the place for you. We walked up to the waiting desk at the door and waited for around 10 - 15 minutes for a host to come seat us. After we finally got someone, we were seated directly in front of the live music speakers. The people performing live were good and fun to watch. After we were seated, the host asked what we wanted to drink. When he came back with our drink, we told him what we wanted to order. 50 minutes later, we decide to walk out while leaving $4 on the table for our drinks. Everyone around us was also waiting with nothing on their table. Maybe we came at a bad time, but keep in mind no one ever came to our table again to reassure us. Would never recommend. read more

5 stars for a great atmosphere. I only had a couple drinks at the bar - mojito's! The service was friendly and the live music was really good. Also loved petting the house cat , JAZ read more

Service was great. Waitress was sweet. Showed up around 5PM on a weekday and had our food within 15-20 minutes. The food was just ok, nothing too spectacular. The margaritas were pretty bland too. I would recommend the oysters if they are in season! Oh, and remember large parties have an 18% gratuity. It was more than I would have left for two adults and two children. read more
