Great food. Everything I've ordered so far has been really good. We have been several times in the last couple of weeks that's how good it is. Everyone that works there is nice and go out of their way to help you. I'm usually in a hurry so i get our food to go. Going back this week. read more

I have mixed feelings on Surfside. Right off the bat, the parking lot (which is shared) as well as the inside and patio area are quite tiny. Not unusual for many of the businesses nearby, but fighting for a spot in the end may not be worth it. It seems the place is mostly attuned to locals. Light on any kind of greetings, you place your order inside and they'll bring it to you wherever you are sitting. The food came out in an appropriate time and after that, don't expect to see anyone again as it is largely self service with condiments, napkins, etc. available on a nearby cart where you also will leave your baskets at the end of the meal. The food itself was only ok. We ordered the happy hour mozzarella and marinara dippers (dear readers, this is simply a single grilled cheese cut into four triangles. Delicious! And only $4, but the wording on that could maybe have been better...) the chicken salad sandwich with potato salad, and the shrimp tacos. The chicken salad errs on the sweet side, which the brioche bun only adds to, and was in much need of a hot sauce which I did add but still wasn't the largest fan. The potato salad was really good, but the indication on the menu that it was spicy was misplaced - it is yellow, sure, but not spicy. As for the shrimp tacos, again not fantastic but the shrimp was cooked quite perfectly. The combination of ups and downs put this smack in the middle for me. We had planned to stay for a few drinks, but decided to hop to a few other local businesses to see if we could find a better vibe. Overall, I would say this is a good spot to feed kids quickly and on the cheap(ish) and maybe hang and chat with friends. read more

Was searching for a lunch spot in the area and Surfside delivered some good eats, friendly service, and a fun and laid-back environment. Definitely recommend. read more

The staff here is phenomenal. Extra friendly, very helpful. I went here because I heard they had Rurbens and one of the best. They weren't one of the best they are the best I didn't used to be a Reuben fan, but I will definitely go back to have a Reuben here. The rest of the food on there are fresh and made the order. I love this restaurant. It's not very large. It has a bar, but these are the kind of places that you just go out of the way to find. It's a bit far from Reyes pass but if you're going to corpus, it's just on the other side of the hump before the Causeway great restaurant. read more

Found this little local shop for lunch on Yelp and definitely wanted to give it a try while we were visiting Corpus Christi. It definitely did not disappoint. Pulling up into the parking lot, we got extremely lucky and saw a few people walking out; otherwise this little parking lot is completely full. The shop itself is also pretty small, basically a hallway down the entire unit, with a bar on the left and a row of small tables on the right. There is some outdoor seating available as well. We ordered lunch to-go, which was pretty quick and easy, as our order was already prepared when I arrived and I was able to use Apple Pay. I noticed their packaging was very nice. We ordered the Philly Cheese w/ pasta salad, the Teriyaki Salmon w/ mac 'n cheese, and also Ahi Tuna sandwich w/ the soup of the day, being broccoli and cheese. My Philly Cheese was tasty, but on the salty side. My bride absolutely loved her Ahi Tuna and the kiddos enjoyed their Teriyaki Salmon. Overall, the food was excellent (but it is pretty pricey). We definitely recommend this spot in you are in the area. read more

Staff could've been a bit more friendly to us, which were newcomers. No greetings, no telling us where to order, etc. Not very tourist and newcomer friendly to me. Once we found out where and how to get our food, my goodness, my pork BBQ sandwich is probably the best I've ever had. The pork itself was very tender and excellent when it came to thickness, which was the perfect amount; not too thick, not too thin. However the real star of the show was the bread. It was wanting to stick to the paper because it just couldn't wait for me to devour it. The softness and texture was next level. I have no idea what the hell kind of bread it is, but I need to know just about now. I would definitely come back if I lived here. read more

The food was fine, except broccoli salad seemed old. Dirty place. Would not recommend.

We stayed at an Airbnb in the Nemo Cay resort complex of townhomes and this place was right behind us and a super convenient walk (once you find the gate in the fence by the pool). We picked up breakfast from here and then grabbed lunch later as we headed to the beach! All of the breakfast sandwiches we tried were great! the Cuban - so meaty and filling! The smashed avocado - so refreshing with a balsamic glaze that makes even a non-veggie person happy to eat this! Bacon and egg - exactly what you would expect. All $8.50 and very worth it! For lunch, I was content with my teriyaki chicken sandwich - with moist grilled chicken and not too much sauce. Husband loved his Philly cheesesteak one! And the dipping sauce makes it even better. read more

Surfside Sandwich Shoppe (SSS) in North Padre was a perfect late lunch spot for our group of road-trippers as we waited for our condo unit at Lively Beach just down the road to be ready for check-in. If you like to come into Port A via Corpus to avoid the wait for the ferry, this would be a great place to stop before you turn onto 361. The SSS interior is charming with cute beachy décor and cold A/C, but we would have been just as comfortable on the breezy, shaded patio out front. There were books & board games and other entertainments available while we waited for food, and each table came with disinfectant wipes so we could give everything a quick cleanup - Mama likes! The menu has something for everyone, with some coastal TexMex tacos and quesadillas, a long list of sandwiches, several salads, a daily rotating soup selection, 5 kinds of desserts, and a full bar of adult beverage choices in addition to the usual bottomless soft drinks and tea. Oh, and there's even a cute kids menu with all items priced $5-$7 with a side of chips or grapes. Happy Hour is daily from 4p-7p with $4 selected adult drinks and appetizers. That price point is from the 1990s where I live, so I will definitely be coming back for that next time I'm in the area. My O.G. blackened shrimp tacos were SO good and the portion was large. Our teens enjoyed their quesadillas (one got pulled pork, the other got the chicken), and the lone sandwich eater had nothing but praise for his Surfside Turkey Club. I had a few bites of that one, too, and it had everything I love about a deli-style sandwich: super fresh ingredients, yeasty, toasted homemade-tasting bread, and balanced helpings of all components. What else? The staff behind the counter were super friendly and our food came out pretty quickly considering it was all made to order. Checkout was simple via smartphone wallet with Toast tab; love that! read more

Great hidden spot. The food was fresh and tasty! It's a small place, but I got lucky that is wasn't very busy yet. But I could see it filling up fast. I've had my eye on this place for several years, to try. Finally did it today. And I'm glad I did!! Hidden gem that I hope stays around. It's very chill with about 15 seats inside. And then they have an outdoor patio you can eat at. It will hold about 25 more people out there. And the have games you can play while out there. I will be back again for sure! read more

I absolutely loved it. The Philly cheesesteak was the best. The portions were amazing. The french dip was even better overall 10 out of 10.

Family had the French tip the Philly cheesesteak the chicken club and all of it was filling and tasty and fresh definitely coming back

It's a small business but with cool atmosphere, everyone knew each other by name. Great food and drinks, the bartender was super friendly.

Great place for sandwiches! Inside is very small but there is more outdoor seating. We called ahead (highly recommend that since they are very busy), and took the sandwiches to the beach. The sandwiches were all delicious! We had the potato salad and cole slaw sides. The potato salad has a little kick to it, so good! Definitely recommend this place for sandwiches! It's also a bar - we didn't try any drinks. read more

Typically when I'm on vacation, I want to try as many local spots as I can. But Surfside was SO good that we ended up here two days in a row rather than take a chance on somewhere else! I recommend timing your visit for happy hour (4-7PM), when they have $4 apps and drinks - perfect for sharing on the patio, and some days they also have live music! On our first visit, we tried the avocado bruschetta, shrimp and spinach quesadillas, and margaritas - all $4 on happy hour. Everything was really fresh and honestly better than I'd expected. We stayed for dinner, adding on the mahi tacos, turkey club with potato salad, and garden salad with grilled shrimp. They also had a roasted red pepper soup of the day, and we snagged the last bowl - it was AMAZING. Everyone enjoyed their food, the tacos especially were a favorite for me. The spicy potato salad was also super fresh and flavorful, and I'm not usually much of a potato salad fan. We went back for lunch before heading out of town, got their philly, shrimp tacos and a sausage sandwich. Again, all out fresh and fast, and full of flavor. My grandmother and aunt are regularly in the area and also said they are regulars here. Sounds like an island staple! read more

In town visiting some family and they recommended we try this Sandwich Shoppe. It was great, the atmosphere is surfy/beach like fitting the name and location. The service was great the workers seemed happy to be there it took about 15 minutes to get our food. We had the crab cake sandwich and baja shrimp tacos, the crab cake was AMAZING. The most amazing crab cake I have ever eaten thus far in my life, I say this very sparingly as I have had a ton of crab cakes as appetizers at some thousand restaurants. This one legitimately deserves a rewards its huge in portion and the savory bread toasted with a soft top compliments it extremely well. It was so great it warrants another trip while I am still down here. read more

First time visiting CC. We were at the whitecap beach and wanted to grab a quick lunch and head back to the beach. We had both our pups so this was a good option given the outdoor seating. Very clean, small and cool sandwich shoppe with some great selection of beer and drinks. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich with side of coleslaw and Hubs ordered the Philly cheesesteak sandwiches. Service was great, they brought the food out to us when it was ready. If we ever come back to CC we will for sure hit this spot up again. They have Happy Hour daily from 4-7 which is sweet. read more
