    Fun gastropub with amazing fish and chips!! Their coney dogs are also yummy!!! We're repeat customers!!! AlSO, outdoor tables are dog friendly!! We so support dog friendly establishments!! Chef is fun, too! Thank you Logan!!

    Terrific place! Logan is awesome. This man knows his Detroit Coneys. I should have taken a picture of the coney island d but was more invested in meeting the man that brought a Detroit girl her dream.

    In the culinary wasteland that is Corpus Christi, this is a shining gem serving up awesome New American goodness. Here's what makes this place standout. Food. High quality and consistent. Diverse and also very creative. Good cocktails as well. Service. Consistently conscientious. Management stays on top of things, and that helps drive a culture of good service. Waitstaff genuinely care about your dining experience. Location. Pretty cool downtown area. Located on the end corner of Mesquite Street. Atmosphere. Modern. Cool. Not overdone, cheesy, pretentious or cheap looking. Right on for what they're trying to be. They have an aesthetic and identity they proactively achieve. In my opinion, this is one of the best restaurants in town. If we have out of town visitors, we usually take them here.

    Lots of bottled beers, especially of the local variety for which I'm after. 2 large glass fridges at each end of the bar. There are also draft beers. Of course lots of mixed drinks. Good young crowd. Monday night was open-mic night. Variety of performances. Came in late night, but what food pix I've seen, looked good.

    So many beers on tap!!!!

    I was in town for a little staycation and found this hidden gem. The staff was friendly and awesome. I ordered the beef and chicken tacos with a side of guacamole and they did not disappoint. They were tasty and fresh. There was live music and the regulars were super friendly. Definitely a great place to visit. A second visit to check out open mic night introduced me to the pork tacos and waffle fries with a homemade aoli sauce that was amazing. The chef came out and chatted with us about their fresh ingredients and their menu options. Definitely worth a visit.

    Love this place! It just feels comfortable as soon as you walk in. The entire menu sounds delicious. I've had the cheeseburger with bacon and egg on it, the chili and the Cuban sandwich. All were wonderful. And the staff makes sure you feel welcome and appreciated. This is also a music venue. Unfortunately they start at 9:00. Way too late for me. I'm going back to try more menu items.

    This place started out awesome but then from there it changed!! The bartenders really don't pay attention to you unless they personal know u!! I had to get their attention everytime but everyone else got served right away!! Food is OK at dinner time nothing special!! I personally like the brunch they do a lot better than the dinner! It's a cool place to hang they have live music and other stuff! They have a upstairs area to relax in! It's a local business so I will still support it cause downtown need more places!! I will drink but not eat there!

    Great food! I will definitely come back. The grilled cheese was really great with the jerk sauce. For us being the only ones in the restaurant service seemed to give us too long of a time to come back to take our orders. Use your yelp check in to get the free pork taco.

    The food is food the drinks are great and the live music is amazing! Service from the staff is top tier what you need in downtown Corpus Christi

    Wings!  No next level wings!  Probably the best wings I've had in Corpus!  Seriously!  Homemade ranch too!

    Seriously this place is off the hook and I'm embarrassed it has taken so long to visit. Everything is homemade and fresh. Ranch, fried pickles, cornbread and literally everything else. If they gave a prize for fresh and amazing food this place would be 1st no questions asked. Forgot to add the service was great Danielle was a huge help.

    I've been to the Exchange twice already. I have to say that I was quite impressed with the all you can eat Sunday Brunch. There was a great selection to choose from in which we tried a variety of good food. Made To Order Omelette ***** Cooked to perfection Smoked Salmon ***** Amazing! Snow Crab Legs ***** Yesss! Shrimp & Polenta ***** First time having this but it was pretty great. Bananas Foster French Toast *** Nothing special about this but still pretty good. Sausage and Potatoes **** Eggs Benedict ** - There wasn't enough hollandaise sauce and the hashbrowns were overcooked. May want to lower the heat and slowly increase it, when cooking these on a hot plate. The presentation was still pretty great. Biscuits and Sausage Gravy **** Basic but still really good. Who doesn't like biscuits and gravy? Sirloin Steak and Glazed Ham with Brown Sugar from the Carving Station*** Nothing special. The mimosas hit the spot as well. Tim and Sara were friendly and were very attentive. I will definitely go back again and recommend 100%.

    I stumbled upon this cute place across the Corpus Christi Cathedral. The set up is very interesting I thought. The bar, the restaurant, and when you order your dessert is own by different people but all sharing the same building and one check. The decors are art works by local artists that you can possibly buy. Every night after 9pm is open mic as well. I was pretty excited to see their menu. I opted to try their bacon corn bread pulled pork sandwich. It was delicious. The service was also outstanding.

    NYE menu staying bottomless beer.  Not mentioned is that it was only Bud Light.  Classic bait and switch

    Love this place! We went for a date night and it was a pretty chill night; not too many people, but…read morethey have twinkle lights up everywhere and plenty of options for seating. They bartenders were awesome and they made some tasty and unique cocktails. If you get munchy, there's also a food truck that parks right outside the establishment.

    The Gold Fish is a shining example of Corpus having and maintaining nice things…read more There is a common misconception that this city cannot have nice things, and that if we do get them, they do not last very long. The Gold Fish has proven this long-held collective pessimism wrong. Originally a cocktail bar only, it has now expanded into a cocktail, beer and wine outdoor/indoor bar, which makes complete sense given the city's demographic demands. It was actually one of the first businesses I was most concerned with us losing permanently during the pandemic. And I am so glad they have stuck around! It is a modern cocktail bar at its core, which makes it very unique to this city. This is an obvious adoption of cocktail bar trends from other larger cities in Texas. It is very nice, with a wide array of adult beverage options for discriminating consumers to chose from. The atmosphere is perfect, and the bartenders and staff are top-notch and super nice (the attitude is refreshing compared to what one may be used to recieving from such establishments in larger cities). I usually only come here when I have company from out-of-town, as I do not go out for drinks very often. At my most recent visit, I had just experienced a personal tragedy that I only briefly alluded to our bartender when she asked how our day was going. The amount of sincere compassion we received was not expected at all. My only regret is that I did not get her name, or else I would have gladly included it in this review.
