    Ambiance was great and really looked forward to trying out a new place in Corpus since we're not from here. We get seated by the host, then get asked to move by the hostess to another table, we're not at the other table for 2 minutes when we're asked AGAIN to move to another table. Took them about 20 minutes to take our order. I ordered the blackened fish tacos, they bring out grilled shrimp tacos with literally 2 shrimp in each taco. The broccolini side that I ordered is drenched in butter and the fries were frozen fries. Just not something I would expect from a place that was getting such good reviews.

    You get a lot of food for your money. The waitress was very nice and helpful. I am definitely going again.

    I went to this new eatery with an Elite Yelper! The restaurant has two sides to it. Jean waited on us. She was excellent. She recommended several items and we purchased them all. We had charbroiled oysters. I don't recommend them. It was overloaded with grocery store cheese instead of grated high end cheese. We had friend shrimp which was great. We also had stuffed shrimp, grilled shrimp and talipia, and snow crab legs. The eatery had a vibe! I actually liked it. While the waitress was attentive, the owner wasn't kind. We watched him go to four tables, greet them and ask about their experience. He also grab items that they needed. Note, this restaurant wasn't packed! We were the 5th table. He locked eyes with me numerous times and never greeted us. This is so unprofessional. I will not return.

    I was visiting my hometown for the holiday and found this restaurant on Yelp. I told my family I would like to try it as it had great reviews and we typically have our go-to restaurants we patron for seafood. The restaurant has a cute vibe to it. Your typical seafood "sea/fishing" theme you see in most places. The lighting is a little dim so it creates a vibe...I guess. I would "recommend" (and I say that lightly) for family outings, date nights, or even solo dining. There is a fully stocked bar with bar seating and TVs. The hostesses are really great. Our family was seated and we were served by Jean (Jeanette). Her customer service was excellent! As a starter we got charbroiled oysters. I DO NOT recommend! They were supposed to be served in an herb butter sauce with cheese but instead they were doused with shredded cheese and lacked flavor. They were the worst oysters I have ever had! A little more butter and a lightly grated cheese would've been perfect. For my entree, I ordered stuffed shrimp with Brussels and a baked potato. The Brussels were over cooked and had a weird smell to them. They tasted very off! The stuffed shrimp was actually pretty great. My server recommended getting them broiled and she was spot on with the recommendation! The food was just okay but nothing great. I would've have maybe been open to returning but something pissed me off..... From the time we sat down up until after we were served our food I noticed a man with a hat going to the tables around us greeting customers and asking about their experience and if everything was okay. He did this to at least four tables to include people who arrived after we were seated. We were at the restaurant for about 1 hour and 45 minutes and not once did he approach us. I was disappointed to find out that it was the owner. He made eye contact with some of us from the table but not once did he approach us, but he kept staring and making eye contact with us. I would not have cared had it not been for him walking back and forth passing our table to get to go containers and checks for those tables around us. I will not be returning and I personally will not recommend this restaurant. But if you do choose to go, please ask for Jean's area. Top tier service!!!!!

    I was hesitant to visit Pompano's based on some mixed reviews that I saw online, but I decided to go ahead and give them a try. I am so glad that I wasn't discouraged because they had the best seafood boil that I've every tried. I got a combination of all of their seasonings and it was incredible. The staff was very nice both of the nights that I dined here. My only complaint is that they do not provided wet wipes which is kind of a must after eating a seafood boil, but my super kind waiter brought out some wipes that he had in the back. The restaurant is very open and has a typical seafood restaurant ambience. It was very clean. I would highly recommend Pompano's to others. 12/10

    And after...

    It's a restaurant that's a hidden secret I feel. The old bay edamame was so goooood. My friend and I both had the seafood boils and devoured them. Can't wait to go back!!

    Great service, delish food. I recommend the boils. Crab legs were amazing. Highly recommend.

    Arrived at Pompanos Seafood House and at the greeting station met Sisi who greeted me with a smile and guided me to a seat at the bar. Melissa is the bartender and got me a beer while I looked over the menu. I decided on the Crab Stuffed Mushrooms for an appetizer and the Seafood Stew for dinner. The mushrooms were very good and the parmesan crust made the dish. The Seafood Stew was solid and the tomato base was perfect for the dish while the vegetables were perfectly Al dente. For me I would have rather have the shrimp P/D and maybe a larger clam but overall a good stew.

    Going back to my hometown always conjures up good memories. I was visiting over Mother's Day…read moreweekend when I had a craving for "fast fish" on my way back out of town. 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.

Started with a dozen peel and eat shrimp. Shrimp were WAY overcooked, extremely firm, and rubbery. Mozzarella sticks were fine. I had the clam chowder (which was actually REALLY good). I would recommend it if you like lots of clam pieces and a nice bacon flavor. I had the pan-seared redfish with veggies and red beans and rice. Fish was very good and cooked well. Seasoning was good. Veggies were also well done. Red beans and rice were...mid. Very salty and not my fave. Wife had fish and chips. Tartar was a little sweet for me and the batter had a slight sweet spice in it. Not my taste but she liked it. She also said the hush puppies were not dry. Alway a good thing. For the price, I was expecting more but it was a decent meal. Service was good. Quick, prompt service, and she took the kids meal off the bill since we bought the adult meal as advertised. Atmosphere is fine but it smells like vomit near the restrooms and on the back patio. Kind of icky. Decent meal, decent atmosphere. We will stick to Black Diamond though.

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.

I say that as there is a difference when you go to eat somewhere and you are hungry versus being famished. We were famished. Walking in, it reminded me of other crab shacks we have been. Nothing wrong with that. The wife is basically a mermaid so will eat any and all from the sea or ocean. I did find it interesting that there are signatures over pretty much every single surface you can find sans the tables and floor (there were even a couple on the TV screen). Too much? For me, yes. But unto each their own. Other than that, pretty cool place. Everyone was friendly. Though we were having a late dinner, there were still a a lot of dinners so service wasn't the fastest. But they were still attentive and checked on us until we got our waitress. My wife ordered a bucket with shrimp with head on, Manilla clams and calamari with 3 sauces. I got the fried half and half, shrimp and catfish but I also got an order of their special seasoning for me (which evidently includes all their seasonings) and their hushpuppies. (They are frozen but the waitress said they are good so I decided to give them a shot.) When the food arrived, it was a good amount of food. It also came really quickly. My wife barely talked for the entire meal. Other than praises on how good everything was. That is saying something. She is definitely picky with her seafood. I tried some of it and it was great. Mine hit the spot. Fried food isn't hard but it is also easily messed up, all mine tasted fresh and the batter was very tasty. No bad taste from the oil. The sauces/seasoning. That is the best thing to me. it is all in melted butter with garlic and other seasonings. They really add great flavor. Enough that we took them with us. All in all. Very happy with dinner and looking forward to our next trip there.

They came out hot, juicy, easy to peal, spicy but not the heat that makes you sweat. I was VERY pleased with the food. Beer was cold and there's a full bar.

If you head this way, expect a wait. Thankfully we found a couple open spots at the bar and avoided the 25 minute wait. ...That's a short wait time based on other reviews.

If you decide to visit, I would highly recommend asking to sit in her section. I ordered the oyster and shrimp plate, and unfortunately, it was disappointing. The shrimp were acceptable, although I have certainly had better. The oysters, however, were gritty with dirt and did not appear to have been properly cleaned before being fried. Both the shrimp and oysters were coated in a flour-and-cornmeal batter. It was fine, but nothing memorable. The coleslaw had absolutely no flavor, and I'm honestly not sure why they bothered serving it. I wish I had taken a picture of the plate because the presentation was just as unimpressive as the meal. That said, I was not expecting anything fancy, so perhaps I should not have expected much more. The atmosphere was typical for this type of restaurant--casual, basic, and nothing fancy.
