“ THE BEST AHI TUNA NACHOS!!!! Food was 10 out of 10. Service is also fantastic. But seriously we were recommended by a friend to get their burger and the ahi tuna nachos. Skipped the burger (which I am sure is amazing) and glad we did because these nachos are the bomb.com ”
“ We came there just for the Oysters and got the Oyster Trio and it was phenomenal. It was so fresh and seasoned with full of flavors that it definitely made my day. I could've ate more if we had more room to eat. Customer service was great too! ”
“ First time visiting. Enjoyed the atmosphere and staff was incredible. Food reviews were mixed from the family. Chicken and fish sandwich were winners. Seared tuna was excellent with homemade ginger and sweet chili sauces. The only mid review was the grilled fish and vegetables . Too salty and overcooked. Oysters were small. All and all a great experience. ”
“ You're going to get some of the freshest seafood at this joint; why wouldn't you? This city is almost completely on water! My family was being a bunch of weirdos so I arrived alone, with my book--my guilty pleasure--a hood book, I won't disclose the title ;-)....i digress.... I grabbed a seat indoors. Outside seating was available; sounded like a madhouse that Sunday night. The live band was rocking! My waitress looked to be about 12; super adorable, very sweet. She checked in on me about every 13 seconds. Nothing too special about my salad but the ranch seemed to be of good quality. No hidden valley here! The oysters and pickles were lightly fried, no heavy batter, and seasoned just right. The snapper was the star of the show for It was a specialty of the day. I would've liked a few more crawfish in my etouffee for that $30 price tag, but I get....they have bills as do I! All in all, I enjoyed my visit. I loved the "down home, divey " feel. Black Diamond for the "W"! ”
“ Great food! Bread pudding was yummy. Always on our must stop list when in town. Oysters were good as always. As a family from the desert we love our seafood when in the area! ”
“ My husband and I stopped here during our little day trip to Corpus Christi with our dogs and we loved the food! Needless to say, there were no leftovers! Also, the staff was super nice and even helped us get some water for our dogs. We dined outside and it was really pretty. The staff even turned on their giant fan for us to cool down during the hot day. ”
“ Simple place; though the ambience, friendly staff & the food was excellent. We set inside at the bar. Moe, the bartender was fabulous & friendly. My friend had plain oysters & baked oyster Rockefeller, which was A+....then we shared fried fresh zucchini & Boudin balls (outstanding) Their cocktails were right on. I choose their grilled fish. Excellent, highly recommend this place ”
“ What a delicious find!!!! A small family owned local restaurant is a must go to. We had the oyster trio to start. This had oyster Robert, Rockefeller and New Orleans. All were amazing. We ordered a couple specials for dinner. The habanero shrimp and the mahi with crab and shrimp.. The habanero shrimp was sweet spicy, and delicious . The mahi had a nice Cajun kicked to it. The mahi was served nice Ponchartrain sauce. ”
