I would not go back here if you paid me. My daughter and two grand girls 15/13 waited for an eternity to be served. At any other restaurant you would have been served five times easily in the amount of time it took to get our food out to the table. It was so bad, the people at the table... more

None of the seafood is fresh - not even the oysters - ask them! The veggies are rather like a nursing home - no wonder the Snowbirds like it! That's really all there is to say. If you're a tourist or Snowbird who doesn't know good or local seafood - go there - that will keep you out of the... more

Big tourist trap with a big sign on a major highway not far from Corpus Christi. Huge place, lots of seating, but terrible excuse for a seafood restaurant. Granted, I got steak, which may not be their thing, but my husband got a fish and shrimp plate, and it was all godawful. Even my baked potato tasted terrible, and really,... more

Straight up coastal seafood, lots of it fried. Snow birds line up an hour early for the all-u-can-eat cheap specials. Love the fried chicken livers/gizzards ! more
