I recently visited Red Boat Restaurant and tried their 3-piece fish and shrimp basket in the regular 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. read more

Tried this place on recommendation from a coworker the other day. I've got some good things to say & 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. read more

Good fried seafood and fries. Always comes out piping hot. The batter on fish is nice! Better than nasty boat n net (closed down, but their food smelled disgusting and tasted gross). read more

Waste of $20. Shrimp was over fried way beyond recognition. Tartar sauce is like runny ranch dressing. Fries were OK. Threw it away and went to McDonald's across the street. read more

An experience that I thoroughly enjoyed! The place is well decorated and the staff were charming. The food brought me back to my favorite places in the world! read more

They have a person at the window that is not very friendly at all. I'm not sure if he's the owner or if he's an employee. Has a very dry sense of humor and is not really helpful at all. Plus he sent out orders that were put in after mine , so I had to wait longer for my food and then when I finally did get my food they did not give out No silverware or anything. Felt like they just treated you like a piece of trash and all they wanted was your money. Plus the food was not good at all. Not very favorable.. Sure, won't be going back there ever again! Don't waste your time.. read more

Wish I could have tried it. Pics looked good. Some reviews liked it. Finally got a chance to go and it was totally closed. Didn't look occupied at all. None of the numbers worked or got no answer. Very disappointed. Didn't get an answer the next day either. Not even a sign to say no longer opened. read more

Decent seafood joint in Corpus Christi, not far from the airport. They know how to fry seafood & frog legs here - and they do it well. Good service. Friendly, too. Frog legs, fish, crab, seafood boils - this place will likely have something you like to eat if seafood is your thing. read more

Stopped by to try out this place a few coworkers have mentioned it, so here I am. I ordered the special of the day ($10) 6 fish 6 shrimp with fries, a roll and made fresh Tatar sauce, also ordered hush puppies. Myself being a fisherman and making fresh fried fish this place is amazing great homestyle flavors the fish and shrimp was fried perfect, missing lemon, but the flavor was on point. Fries are fries they used season fries. Homestyle tartar sauce had the lemon juice that was a nice added touch. The order of hush puppies need just a little bit more flavor but they too seemed to be homestyle. Looking forward for my next visit they offer load potato's. I will return and try something new on the menu. Don't plan on sitting down it's a walk up and take to go plate. Great costumer service. but with a modern twist he gave me a buzzer when it's done. and cash only. read more

Had to take a drive out there based on reviews. The place opens at12n. Very clean, set up, tables, smelled very clean . Good service too. The turkey was not quite ready when we showed so we opted to do fish n shrimp. Very good, very tasty. A tad salty but very good n fresh. The tartar sauce is the bomb. Served with fries and a roll. Quite impressed worth the drive. Gotta go back for Thursday turkey tho. Busy at opening time....a must try for sure. Appears their signature dish is the turkey read more

Went on a Saturday at 1:00 and they're closed. ?????? If a place isn't open in a Saturday I'm not sure it's worth trying. read more

This is the worst restaurant I've ever been to. The interior was poorly lit with no lights and tinted windows, making it very dark. The white AC wasn't working, and it got uncomfortably hot inside. Our food took over 40 minutes to arrive and was served in to-go boxes even though we were dining in. They didn't provide any silverware or plasticware. The ceiling was cracked and had stains. The menu was confusing, and the chicken nuggets tasted like they were store-bought, while the drinks were served hot. The photos from a year ago don't reflect the current state of the restaurant. They were out of napkins and salt, and the ketchup bottles were empty. Overall, a very disappointing experience. read more

Says opens at noon. We waited and they didn't open. Left at 12:10. Will not be back. No sign on door tried to call no answer. Others came and went. Do not recommend if this is how they run business. Really can't rate food cause didn't get to eat. read more

Had their 8 piece fried shrimp basket. It comes with fries. The shrimp was breaded with cornmeal and was done well. The fries needed a little more time in the frier. My husband had the frog legs and shrimp basket. He thought the frog legs were tender, juicy, and fried to perfection. read more
