We visited Lelo's as a family of five, including three small children, and unfortunately the…read moreexperience was extremely disappointing from the moment we walked in. When we entered, no one greeted us or explained how ordering worked. We ended up walking outside and finding a table on our own, only to later realize that we were supposed to order at the bar. When I went inside to order, I watched three other women walk in and the two men working immediately greeted them and explained the ordering process to them. I mentioned that no one had done that for my family, and instead of apologizing or acknowledging it, they simply pointed toward the menus. I then asked if they had high chairs. While I was holding my baby, they pointed toward where the high chairs were rather than offering to help me get one. I had to carry the high chair myself while holding my baby. As I was walking out, the employee walking in front of me didn't even stop to hold the door open. Ordering our food was also frustrating. I had six drinks to carry and asked for a drink holder. The bartender responded, "Oh, well, you can come back for it." Not exactly the kind of customer service you expect when someone is already carrying drinks for a family with small children. Then, when our food came out, my husband's patty melt had not been added to the order. When I brought it to their attention, I was told that the receipt showed I hadn't ordered it and that if I wanted one, I would have to go back up and pay for it. At that point, I declined. The biggest issue, however, was the condition of the patio area. We were sitting in the back patio because my 4-year-old was enjoying the play area. While we were there, four large rats ran across the fence line. I have never experienced anything like that at a restaurant. On top of the rats, I personally saw around five large cockroaches running around the tables. Seeing multiple rats and cockroaches around an area where people are eating was extremely disturbing, especially with three young children with us. Overall, between the lack of basic customer service, the problems with our order, and the number of rats and cockroaches we witnessed, this was an experience we will not be repeating. I hope management takes these concerns seriously because the cleanliness and pest situation, in particular, needs immediate attention

We decided to have a 60th birthday celebration at Rusty Rooster's Ice House b/c we frequently stop in when we are in town b/c of the service and great atmosphere. We made the right choice. Owners, Issabelle and Joe went above and beyond accommodating our request. Their staff were pleasant and friendly and the prices were great. We had food catered however they always have local food trucks to accommodate the late night hunger. If you're in town you MUST stop by. They always have the games on their TV's for football, baseball or basketball. One thing I have to say about Issabelle and Joe, is they are BIG on giving back to their community and I support that all day everyday! Thank you Rusty Rooster, until next time!

If you're in Corpus Christi and even remotely appreciate great food, exceptional whiskey, or a…read morewell-executed vibe, Nueces Whiskey Library is an absolute must. This place is the coolest whiskey bar meets fine dining--and it nails both sides perfectly. I travel to Corpus for work and customer visits, but this is one of those rare spots where I'd come back just for the restaurant. The whiskey selection is outstanding--deep, thoughtful, and clearly curated by people who actually know and love whiskey. Whether you're a bourbon guy, a Scotch drinker, or just want to explore something new, the staff knows their stuff and makes great recommendations without any pretension. The food is where it really separates itself. This isn't bar food pretending to be upscale--this is legit, well-executed, chef-driven cuisine that easily competes with big-city dining. Every dish feels intentional, balanced, and elevated. It's the kind of place where you slow down, enjoy the experience, and immediately start planning what you're ordering next time. Atmosphere-wise, it's spot on: moody, polished, and cool without trying too hard. Perfect for entertaining customers, a business dinner, or just treating yourself after a long day. Corpus Christi is lucky to have this place. Nueces Whiskey Library sets the bar high--and then pours you something great while doing it.

We arrived after having had dinner and despite it being busy (it was a Friday night), we were seated quickly. Its got an old-timey vibe which is enhanced by the decor they use and the fact they were playing a black and white film on the projector. The bar area itself is gorgeous and displays what looks like hundreds of bottles of whiskey. We tried their sazarac and the Anastasia Grey. While I love anything earl grey, I wasnt the biggest fan of the charcoal element but thats a personal preference. It was rather busy so it took some time to get a hold of our server but understandable considering he also had other tables to focus on!

Its a small dive-y bar with a pool tables in the back, some dart boards, a decent sized dance floor and karaoke and juke boxes. Drinks are affordable and they have damned good waitresses who always have a smile and whose service is quick and friendly. Its a suburban corpus melting pot with everyone from cowboys, trailer trash, locals, and passer throughs, neighbors, friends and family. Open pretty much all the time and I can say with an assurance you can always find a good time at Buddy's place. Every time I go I always get caught up in a conversation with a friendly patron, kick back a few beers, dance with a yesteryear beauty queen and pick up a few laughs on the way out. Side note - the lady who does the karaoke isn't your run of the mill Karaoke queen, she actually pays attention to the audio and will augment the sound so your voice comes in a clear as possible and mixed with the music! Just sayin! So If you are into small town country bars then buddy's is gonna find a small place in your heart. . Tip the waitresses because they work hard and just have a good time.
