We found out about Harrison's Landing from reception at nearby BW. Lovely setting on the water and a talented musician playing in the background. We both chose salmon from the menu, but everything looked very tempting. The food was amazing, cooked to perfection, and accompanied by a reasonably priced bottle of NZ Sauvignon Blanc. Our server was very pleasant, and engaged in conversation with us without being intrusive. Great atmosphere and vibe, if only it was on my doorstep which is sadly 5000 miles away.We're glad you decided to swing by and give us a try! We're happy to hear the salmon paired well with the NZ Sauvignon Blanc -- you know your wine! Thanks for this awesome review -- we hope you'll be back in the future. -Lynn C., CEO

Scuttlebutt's Seafood Bar & Grill

The number one question asked is “What does Scuttlebutt’s mean?” Well, we answer, The original context came from two nautical terms; the “butt” (picture a wooden keg) was a wooden cask that stored the fresh water when sailors were at sea. The “scuttle” wa

Contrary to what I’ve read here, pricing is very reasonable, and service was great. The food is excellent based on our dishes. I had blackened ahi tuna which was cooked a perfect medium rare so it doesn’t dry out. The house salad with blue cheese was excellent, as was the grilled asparagus. My wife had a shrimp po boy, which was huge. She said it was one of the best she’d eaten. The Cole slaw was good, but needed a dash of vinegar. They have a nice selection of beers. Don’t trust Google Maps to get you here.

Snoopy's Pier

At least 3 times a year whenever in town. Great atmosphere. Watching the boats, birds, people, sitting out on deck. Cold beer, great food, great people. Everyone friendly and that includes the other customers. Right on the water so the sights, sounds, and smells are all of the water.

Doc's Seafood & Steak Restaurant

Casual waterfront restaurant featuring Seafood and Steak specialties served alongside cool drinks on a breezy dockside patio. Come out for the food, stay for the FREE SUNSET!

Reviewed By edayarts

The food and waitress was AMAZING! The only issue we had was what my significant other and I ordered, we ordered the ny strip steak and the sirloin with the doc sauce. What it says is market value, and not the actual price, so we were a bit surprised when we got the ticket and it was over $130. We did speak to the manager and had suggested the menu be updated, so customers would at least be able to understand that they should ask for the price of the steaks beforehand. The manager was really nice, comped us $30, I think we still tipped the waitress the $30 cause of such good service. We will be back again, but we will remember to ask about the prices.

Being on the beach I was very suprised good prices I encounter for great food. We were 5 adults and ordered 6 plates from the delicious menu. I recommend blackbeard burguer, the Captain's combo and the bayou sampler. My son ordered blackbeard baha tacos and were amazing. Matgarita's were cheap during happy hour. Restaurant was busy and waited time was about 20 minutes.

Saltwater Grill

Reviewed By Herschel S

All APPETIZERS SERVED WERE EXCELLENT!!!This was to be an evening with wine and grazing appetizers. Over the course of the evening, four were served. Please note portions were plentiful. Each appetizer would have at least a morsel that would go into a take out box. The portions were BIG!!!A quick run down of appetizers:Fried calamari served with Sriracha aioli and sweet chili sauce was crisp. Ahi tuna encrusted in black and white sesame seeds and seared rare. There is almost enough for a meal. Crab Cakes were 2 pan-seared blue crab cakes served with tartar sauce.The six gulf shrimp lightly dusted with Parmesan breading, pan-seared and topped with our own signature sauce should be enough for a light eater.All appetizers were full of flavor. No mention of main meals as none were ordered. Service was excellent. Location is easy to find, but it's easily miss.https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g60927-d2518970-r692712983-Saltwater_Grill-Corpus_Christi_Texas.html#

A local watering hole, specializing in catfish and seafood. Overall really good food, not too expensive.No TV’s in the place, not a place to watch the game, but good food. Everything is deep fried of course, but the catfish, oysters and shrimp were great.Beer was cold, what more could you ask for?

Black Diamond Oyster Bar

Reviewed By 3Voyagers

The outside is very plain, you can tell it is a local favorite. The service was prompt and friendly. Food came in a reasonable period and was hot. Went there for lunch and ordered nachos, fried pickles, gumbo, blackened fish and shrimp, grilled fish, salads, and hush puppies. Everything was great. The Gumbo was a little different and we could not guess how. Finished off the meal with excellent key lime. I would recommend this place to a friend if they were coming to Corpus.
