Not many food places near the USS Lexington Museum, so we found this place near North Beach. It was a cold day, however they had heaters so that was nice. Staff was friendly and the grilled chicken sandwich and burger with clam chowder was good. They have an outdoor dining area with pier read more

Food is trash. The boil comes UNSEASONED. You have to season it your self. It's boiled in unseasoned water. My drink came with weird floaty stuff, the waitress told me it was oil. The place is packed and way too close together and there dogs that bark nonstop allowed in. There were at least three yapping dogs. Terrible atmosphere. read more

After visiting the USS Lexington we decided to try out a local stop recommended by loads of people. As we walked down to the host station we asked for a table of two and the hosts asked if we would like to sit in the sun which we said no too so we were told to wait and she got extremely fussy when I asked the wait time stating she wasn't allowed to list wait time when there is live music which is also okay. When it came to us sitting we heard her complain about how people didn't want to sit in the sun and were causing a wait time. So some waiter or something came and said they had a table open and she said people didn't want sit there because it was super windy but he didn't care and we got sat there. As I just wanted to try their food I wasn't too concerned about the wind but it started to pick up and it was extremely frustrating. Our waiter gabe was sure a sweetheart and was so sweet. But as our food came out I knew we made the wrong choice. We got the onion rings as an appetizer and they was super good but then we got the boiled shrimp and it was a big no ! The taste was absolutely awful and have to clean the poop out yourself was making me lose me appetite. Then when it came to our entrees the waiter told after 20 min of waiting he listed the wrong market price so I didn't get food because my stomach was already upset from the shrimp and my boyfriend food took forever to come out and it wasn't even correct. And something that threw me off was when we got the ticket to check out none of the prices were listed just the total. So we couldn't even make sure everything was rung up correctly. I know this is one big rant but I wouldn't recommend this place at all. read more

My family and I was so excited to dine in at pier 99 after a long wait to actually get seated . We was told it will be 15-20 wait so my family and I decided to go take a walk back to our truck and come back all in less than 10 minutes and I know this because I set a timer just to ensure we wouldn't miss our spot , however after coming back and waiting a total of 35 minutes we was finally seated , hosted informed us he already called our name and we wasn't there. Another 30 minutes go by after being seated without even being acknowledged we was even there , no server/waiter came up to offered to get us drink nor take our order we eventually left to find another place to eat at read more

Wow- this place is amazing- the atmosphere is relaxing, the breeze is winderful - even in the heat- live music is enjoyable- and the food is super delicious! Elian and the whole team was vert attentive- trues team service attitude! read more

Overall it was okay. I got the grilled flounder(based on server recommendation), which had several bones in it and was over cooked. The sauce and rice were good. Potatoes and broccoli lacked any sort of seasoning. We did get to sit by the water and our server was friendly. Probably would come back but would order something else. read more

Atmosphere is spot on. Food was good staff was great. Ceviche was great, wind kept blowing chips off my plate lol

This place had great ambiance. They were kid friendly and animal friendly, even bringing a bowl of water to our dog while we sat on the patio. read more

To start off the location is great. That's about the only thing that's great. The food is very salty and greasy. Even the grilled food. We found bits of extra crispy something's? It took over an hour and a half to get food and let's not forgot we didn't see any wait staff for 20 minutes. The manager was useless and didn't really help out for it. read more

I had the Whole Fried Parrot Fish, the wife had the Macho Gumbo and the boy had a shrimp poboy. The wife is from Louisiana so we knew she'd be critical of the gumbo. It was Creole style (with tomatoes) rather than her preferred Cajun style but she still liked it. She didn't call it "seafood stew" like she does many restaurants' gumbo. This place is right on the beach, and since we sat on the patio we had a nice view of the beach and were visited by birds throughout our meal. This is good! Cool spot! read more

I had the club sandwich. It was really good. The ranch is the food ranch. Our server was really good. Ambiance - live music was too loud and not that great. There were also several people smoking that had to be asked not to. I was really tired and the noise combined with the smoking just threw the vibe off. read more

Very good food and fast service I recommend this to friend and family. Ambiance good.

I was seating right away, but we waited over 20 minutes to even get acknowledge. When they finally came outside to ask what we like to drink, they said they were in a meeting!!! The waitress was nice, but very overwhelmed with the customers load. There is not many variety of drinks. I ordered the clam chowder soup and it was so watery, not good at all. While I was seating, I noticed a cat roaming around the restaurant, I couldn't believe it!! I love cats and dogs, but roaming around the restaurant, don't think so. I lost my appetite and left. Hopefully the management can address the waiting period time and maybe have meetings before opening, not during dinner time. Maybe improve the sea food for the future. read more

This place deserves a good review. We were skeptical after reading a few but decided to try anyway and glad we did. The food was very good, everything came out fresh. Best items we ordered: Seafood Queso, Fried Fish (excellent tarter sauce) and the Gumbo which was spot on. Our server was very sweet and friendly and did her best to keep up with multiple tables; overall she did great Also, it's a fun spot with a great looking bar and good view read more

Nice view of the USS Lexington. Ordered shrimp Diablo and ceviche Was not very impressed. Shrimp had no fire to it. Two slivers of jalapeño in just one shrimp, h please Ceviche was served with stale chips. Won't be coming back read more

Service was amazing and the catch of the day plate, though expensive, was delicious. My friend got it with sweet potato fries and I got mine with regular fries and she got way more fries. That would literally be my only complaint, make it even. read more

Pier 99 has the best outdoor atmosphere. The live bands and friendly staff are always a plus. Teresa was AMAZING!!! She took great care us.

Stopped in this evening. We were greeted by a very friendly blondish, spunky, Shawty: she was our waitress. I didn't catch her name, wish I did so I could request her if there is a next time. Off the menu, We started out with u-peel-em shrimp, rarely do I like my u-peel-em warm;however, they were surprisingly delicious After I had some of that appetizer, I made the mistake of going to the restroom, it was yuk with the most aweful fishy smell. I reccomend getting in touch with a good scentsy dealer to mask that smell or something. Thats the only reason I did not offer up five stars. Anyways, our main entrees were tasty, I especially enjoyed the seafood medley. It was different and one of the healthier choices on the menu. I may be back again if restroom area is improved. Oh and there is a nice view of the beach and Lexington btw. read more

Fun on the patio! My large group sat outside at a good-sized picnic table. There was a nice breeze and the grandkids were able to get up and look at the boats. Everyone liked their food. The service was great and our waitress was friendly. read more

Excellent! Great food! They had live music! My Mom celebrated her 81st birthday and had a great time! So much on the plate, there's no way you could finish! read more

Eh. It wasn't bad. Buuuut it wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be since we were eating on a beach front restaurant. We didn't wait long. So that was nice. They had someone singing. Which was great entertainment. Not a place I'd come back too. read more

Visiting from San Antonio, we were dying for oysters on the half shell and seafood gumbo, so we stopped in during happy hour. They accept dogs on the patio which made it all the better. The oysters had been shucked hours before and must have been sitting in the fridge, they arrived dry. The gumbo was not the best, but I get it this is a bar focusing on drinks. The patio has a cool view of the Navy ship. I will return to check out live music. read more

Pier 99 has been my go to spot when I visit for over 25 years and they really dropped the ball today. The waitress was "new" and "was training someone" who was in tow before she mastered the ropes. I ordered onion rings as an appetizer; they never showed up. The next time the waitress was seen was when she brought my meal. I ordered the club sandwich but was presented with the fried chicken sandwich. When the waitress asked if she could bring anything else and I asked for my onion rings. At this point, I had been seated for nearly an hour and a half. She stated she never put the order in and but it in then. We waited another 30 mins for our bill. For some reason our military discount was only applied to the main course per the itemized receipt and not the total due. Over all, the food was sub-par, the service was less than to be desired, speed was awful (it was not crowded), and accuracy was awful. Because I was on a time crunch, there wasn't time to address the inaccuracy of my order or the bill because I simply could not wait any longer. read more

jaide was amazing best service I ever had very respectful and everything she recommended was absolutely amazing!!!! fantastic job!!!! will be back here read more

Listen, the atmosphere was perfect. The wait was long but it's because of the atmosphere. People like to eat and relax. Now, the zen (Negative five) Had to spell it out for those in the back. I came here to review the food since I do small food reviews on tik tok. I started the video and as soon as we got the food, I had to abandon ship on the review. (S/O to the Lexington) I refuse to put a video out where the rating is a negative. I have scratched videos in the past and never posted a review on Google or yelp. But I'm hoping management sees this and changes their company's way.. They are technically stealing from us. We pay hard earned money to receive tasteless food. Let me explain. No Flavor at all!!!!! I went with a family of 18. Majority of us got the seafood boil for 2. Corn, no flavor. Potatoes, no flavor. Shrimp were saugy af with. Take a wild guess. The sausage was the most decent thing and that was mid at best. Now, the crab. Yes the crab. Hollow crab legs. You heard me right. Hollow crab legs. Little to no crab meat. I have never been to a seafood boil establishment and received Hollow legs. Okay let's charge it to the game. Bad batch. Let's get to the seasoning or lack of. No powder, no sauce. No seasoning. The butter was tasteless as well. I was beyond disappointed. I did address it with management and they did give us a discount. But when you spend $108 (discount included) and receive way Below average seafood. That hurts our pockets. We love going out to eat as a family and spending money. The positive. The waitress (Tami) was amazing. Very helpful and patient. She saved the experience. The door folk were very helpful and extremely patient as well. Trying to sit all of us together was difficult. So we appreciate them x1000. Management, your employees aren't the problem. And I know what you're saying. Well, we make great weekly sales. But the truth is, I bet they drop by 20-30% each year. How you are surviving is beyond me. Your business is right next to the ocean. How in the f*** do yall cook season less seafood. Makes no sense at all. I took an hour to write this. You're welcome for taking my family's money and leaving us hungry. Thanks for the discount but that doesn't give us a reason to ever go back. I do have family who got other items and they were satisfied. They were also kids. But I hope you guys change it up. I'll be sooooooo surprised is someone rates this place anything about below average. And below average might grab the attention of a new customer. But will never bring back a returning customer read more

We walked in and weren't even greeted, sat for an additional 10 minutes waiting for someone to take our order, then looked straight at us and went to the restroom, but they at least had the courtesy of giving someone, who walked in after us mind you, change read more

Again Yelp is right... We were planning on going to Yo! Philly Cheese Steaks but they had some idiots break in so they were closed today so we tried Pier 99. Normally I don't bother with less than perfect reviews but honestly this place is just average. The happy hour Margaritas were so weak that they weren't worth $2.00 and the peel and eat shrimp were so so at best. Sorry but the 3 stars is about right. If you pick it as a great place to grab a beer and look at the USS Lexington a you will be fine read more

We saw pics online that made the food look delicious so when we came into town we knew where we wanted to go. We ordered fish poboy and fish platter with side of rice. Fish seemed old and had a rubbery texture. The fries & slaw were good but the rice had no flavor. Seemed from a steamed bag taste. The service was fast and very friendly. The ambiance was chill but almost like a weird vibe. For those 2 meals we ended up paying $40 including tip. In my opinion, not worth it at all. I only ate the fries and slaw. read more

Pier 99 - Old rubbery Fried Fish Platter - Seafood Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

I gave Pier 99 2 stars because the service was good. The location was nice. That's as good as it gets. 1. The beer was cool, not cold and no chilled glasses. 2. I asked for water. I got a 32oz tumbler with 5 or 6 pieces of ice. It's 95 degrees, how long do you think the ice lasted. 3. I had the Fish and Shrimp platter. 4. The fries were soggy. 5. The shrimp were under cooked. 6. The fish was over cooked. 7. The cole slaw was good. I'm not sure I could do this again... read more
