    First - I have to say the restaurant is cool. 100%. Cool location. Cool interior. Exactly what you expect from a "beachside" restaurant in Corpis. So for that - 5 stars. Ok.. the service ... I've never heard so many "I DONT KNOW"'s from a Waitress before. Multiple times questions were asked - 1. Do tomatoes come on the Club sandwich (in the picture you couldn't see and it didn't give an explanation)? - Waitress : I DONT KNOW ... (my friends daughter who wanted to order is allergic) - so ok.. just NO TOMATOES PLEASE. 2. What kind of fish is the tacos? - Waitress: I DONT KNOW - ok.. guess we will just see. We were not trying to be complicated, just wanted to make sure we enjoyed our food and no one needed an epi pin! We ordered hush puppies for appetizer- I added coleslaw (she didn't know how much the sides were) We each had different items and the menu does look great! For sure! I ordered from the Lunch menu because I didn't want too much food. The Shrimp and fish with fries - $9.99. My daughter ordered the fish tacos - $13.99 Son bowl of Gumbo - $6.99 Two friends - 1 got the Club (minus tomatoes) -$12.99 the other got the Shrimp Alfredo- $15.99. Enjoyed breeze, watching the birds, saw a guy net fishing off the pier and another older gentleman swam like 15 laps around the USS Lexington. Food came out... Gumbo had spilled into my fries and they were soggy. Gumbo had spilled into the friends Alfredo. Fish tacos were cold. My fried fish and shrimp were dripping with oil. We're still eating because we're hungry from the 2 hour drive down from SA. Totally forgot about the "appetizers" and almost done we get the Hushpuppies - Too full to eat them. But.. ok. Again.. loved the environment, loved the vibe, our waitress seemed sweet (the CUSTOMER SERVICE VOICE AND DEMEANOR was on point) but over all.. I would come back and have a drink or two and maybe just try the peel and eat shrimp at night just for the view. As someone who works in food service - know your menu. If you don't know - find out. It wasn't busy. By any means. We were there at 3:30pm there were only 3 other tables and 4-5 other servers.

    Fried Calamari
    Carter L.

    Positioned perfectly between the USS Lexington and the Texas State Aquarium this spot is perfect for a quick snack or stop in for a drink after visiting either attraction! We decided to try a couple different appetizers as we were not in the mood to get an entire meal. Both my S/O and I started off with a strawberry Daiquiri and the seafood queso. We were presented with the queso which was arguably the best part of our visit. The chips were not quite salty enough for our taste but no problem as the table had its own! We were unfortunately not brought out our daiquiris for 15+ minutes, however after asking our waitress she promptly brought fresh ones out. We did not have any issues with our Daquiri other than the fact that the strawberry flavor was lacking, there was a little strawberry flavor however nothing to write home about. We then decided we would try the fried calamari and the hot wings. Both came out in a timely manner and were on average for what we were expecting. For our hot wings we decided to do an ever classic buffalo. While the flavor was there the texture just did not quite do it for either of us. They did not come out soggy however they were breaded and were not as crispy as we hoped for. The tops were however I believe a couple more minutes in the fryer would make them much better. The calamari was also average. The marinara cup that were brought was small in proportion to the amount of calamari (in my opinion). There was a good mix of rings and legs in the calamari, and the breading was nice however they did not stand out to us. Overall I was not disappointed nor was I impressed, I would 100% stop in after a day at the aquarium or USS Lexington and I was hungry for some seafood. I am not sure that I would stop for much more as there are better options for meals close.

    Like most other past reviews the location is the biggest plus. On the water and great views. There is a heated section and outside section for the cold nights (or days). We walked from our hotel for dinner about 5pm. Not busy at all and servers and host waiting as we walked up. Family of 5 with three kids so heated section by the door. We ordered and app and meals - which we enjoyed. Norman burger / hamburger / kids burger and a seafood medley dish for the wife. Not one complaint about the food at all one improvement could be asking how burgers should be cooked by the server. The range of cooking for burgers was wide. Not sure if server just out what she thought we wanted or the cook cooked as they wanted it. But I'm not too picky about that. Where the service could improve was the server. Bella I think sue said. Lots of room for improvement here. Stood at the wrong end of the table to be heard first off. (Be at the end of the person ordering / paying. Presented food and asked right away how does it look (before biting into anything ). Then gone. And by gone is we never saw her until after finished awhile and present the check. She did not return to check after our first few bites. She did not return to offer refills of drinks. She did not return to clean dirty dishes and so on. Another server asked how our food was ! Understanding how a server can make or break a review and a restaurant- we only had an issue with the server and that is easy with a low tip. The location / restaurant/ food were all good for sure ! Better server would have been a 5 for sure

    We saw this restaurant from the flight deck of the USS Lexington Museum. It's just a quick 1 minute walk from the base of the museum walkway so we decided to have a late lunch here. We were seated right away on the deck - which had great big umbrellas for shade and the breeze was awesome. Our server, Jacquelyn, was great! Friendly and attentive. Our food was good. I had a burger and my husband had the bourbon glazed (?) chicken sandwich. I also got a mango frozen daiquiri... and it was good! There was also live music (one man "band" - Billy Snipes). We enjoyed our visit here.

    onion ring appetizer
    Joy G.

    Grace was kind, friendly, helpful & patient. She laughed at all my cheesy jokes. Food was yummy. Portion size was good. Prices were fair. Atmosphere is awesome! I mean, c'mon, who doesn't enjoy eating beachside? This place is dog friendly also as I saw a couple pups on the patio while I dined. There were so many good looking options on the menu. I finally decided on the chicken & rice as well as an onion ring appetizer. No complaints.

    Amber P.

    It was nice to sit outside, the breeze blowing with live music playing. The food was also good. However the time to be served, on a slow Sunday afternoon, was crazy. We waited over an hour for our food (grilled chicken, a Ceasar salad, a corn dog, chicken strips and fish & shrimp plate). Seems like the kitchen is down. Our server was great, super friendly.

    Food was great. Service fast and very friendly. Definitely will be back. Wonderful place to sit and visit

    Seafood platter
    Ashlee G.

    We wanted to try this place for lunch today since we were visiting the aquarium. We went around lunch time 12ish. Sat down ordered. Drinks came out fast. We got our food and realized we didn't get any silverware at all or any cocktail sauce or tarter with the seafood we had ordered. Only reason why I gave 4 out of 5. Other than that the food was good and fresh. The fried fish could have been meatier or bigger it was very thin and fried. The oysters were delicious. Will come back again!

    Mother-Clucker

    Wow! Best chicken sandwich I have had--hands down.get the Mother-Clucker folks. So flavorful and not overwhelming hot.

    Bacon wrapped jalapeños were delicious. Definitely recommend this one.
    Dj C.

    Seafood queso was very good. Service is very friendly. The restaurant is awesome. I'm looking at an aircraft carrier the Lexington with a view of the ocean right next to it. Super nice.

    Jenna S.

    The United States flag should have been a warning- especially when you have a retired aircraft carrier from World War II in your backyard! But hey... I tried because of local convenience/location. The oysters were freshly battered and fried... the salt content was so off the charts- thank goodness for fresh horseradish! The ownership need to remember the city council that refuses to clean common areas around the restaurant - DOES NOT mean " carte blanche" to reflect the same in your establishment. Poor Selena rolling in her grave at the disgrace of Corpus Christi! I only came to pay my respects to her and the poor sailors disgraceful reflected with a flag rotten and hanging in distress!

We were seated and they brought out ceviche and fried tortia chips and crackers. It was delicious and had a little spice with a really nice fresh taste. The two salsa's were also very good, one was on the milder side and one was hot. My wife had the Camarones Zarandeados (Grilled shrimp with home sauce). It comes with several shrimp and rice. It is marked mild, my wife thought it was a bit spicy but loved it and eat it all. I had the Huachinago Al Gusto (Red Snapper natural) with Diabla sauce. It comes with rice, a piece of bread and a salad. The picture shows it with fries but I didn't get any. I was okay with that as it was very filling and delicious! A musician came in and played some music on his guitar and sang, that added to the entire experience. If I lived here I'd be visiting here a lot.

A shot wait on the deck out front, a chance to chat and we were called in. Being a summer day, the doors were open to the back deck and it creates a breezy, airy environment. Wife ordered the Seafood Lover's plate...a little of each of their fried offerings and I ordered a ribeye plate (prices at market prices)...a little surprise on the market price came with the bill. The service was on point, not too frequent and the food arrived in very reasonable time given the number of diners.
