I still recommend the Railroad Seafood Station, either the one downtown Corpus, or the original, if you are passing thru Odem. You won't be disappointed.

But for the finest seafood experience around, drive south one evening on U.S. 77 to between Ricardo and Riviera, and turn east at the billboard sign advertising Kings Inn. Its probably an hour's drive from Corpus Christi....but it will be worth it.

The food is served family style, so you will be ordering a platter of the very freshest tasting fish, or shrimp or oysters (or going for broke, and ordering all three!). French fries, delicious tomatoes, and a particularly tangy tarter sauce (try it on the tomato) are served with your order. You'll want to order an avocado salad, or a bombay salad as well. Enjoy! (and don't forget to remove your hat as you come in the door. Otherwise, you'll be reminded to do so)

One other tip: It's always a good practice to call ahead for a reservation...otherwise, you'll likely be waiting a while to be seated.

Do yourself and and your family a favor, and try it one evening. You can thank me later.

Water St. Oyster Bar & Grill.

Far better than Snoopies or any of the others name, IMHO.

haven't been in a few years ... but we used to venture up to Rockport to a nice restaurant called Charlotte Plummer Seafare and also used to hit up the Big Fisherman in northern Aransas Pass ... not sure how far you want to drive or if you are staying actually in Corpus?

but yeah, we hit up Snoopy's Pier which is right at the eastern end of the big bridge leading to Mustang/North Padre island.

Charlotte Plumbers is not what it used to be IMO, & The Big Fisherman is closed down now. The Boiling Pot is still pretty good, just a little pricey. Water Street Oyster Bar & Grill in Port A is pretty good. Kings Inn is very good if you don't mind the drive. My favorite now is a little place on the water called Mickey's Bar & Grill. It's located in Aransas Pass at Hampton's Landing. Their seafood is really good and their burgers are my absolute favorite! Try the blackened flounder sandwhich! I'm not sure who to recommend in Corpus anymore, I seldom eat seafood in restaurants cause I believe my kitchen is the best!

10-4....looks like we will have to go to King's Inn...when ya'll say pricey....?? Me my Wife, 14, 12 year old sons and 9, 4 year old daughters.....Am I looking at spending $100 bucks..??


What is pricey??

Thanks,

Probably 150
