Good eats between Houston and Corpus Christi

Hotel Blessing is a piece of history

If you're going to be in corpus I can point you in the right direction. In between I'm useless

We will be in Corpus for 4 days, so that advice would be great too

Our go-to in that area for lunch used to be Hinze's BBQ in Wharton before it burnt down.

I thought they rebuilt after the fire ?

Prasek's is hard to beat as they pretty much have everything. I really like their assortment of jerky but the prices are higher than giraffe nuts

I heard the same thing, but if they have it isn't in the same location.

Sacrilegious if you've never been to West

Praseks is solid but JRs has better bbq.
It's about 10-15 miles east of praseks.

I've been living here for 4 years and I can say that the dining scene leaves a bit to be desired for the size city it is. That being said, we do have some good restaurants.

Seafood - Surprisingly not that great here being in a coastal town but the following places are pretty good

The Angry Marlin - newer place, you can also get pork osso bucco there (Island area)

Costa Sur Wok & Ceviche Bar (Island area)

I'll be honest I think most of the cooked dishes at Costa Sur are a little heavy handed on the salt but you can't go wrong with the ceviche

Dragonfly is a good all around type of restaurant on the Island. BTW The Angry Marlin mentoined above is from one of the old chefs at Dragonfly (Island area)

Laguna Reef has solid seafood. It's in the Flour Bluff area, not an area that I make it to often.


On the southside Saltwater Grill is pretty good. They serve complimentary home made potato chips which is nice.

Downtown area there is a place called Harrison's Landing that is pretty good. Part of the general seating area is actually on a floating dock. Nice outside eating atmosphere. There is a Landry's next door also.

North Beach area - Pier 99 has a great view of the water and of the Lexington...however I can't say that the food is great. Good place to catch a drink outside. But I'll say this - I'd prefer not to hang out in the north beach area because it's pretty shitty. Probably the best part of town if you want to pick up a tranny hooker and some smack though.

Yardarm - As someone mentioned earlier yardarm is a solid seafood restaurant. You get a good view of the bay. The owner is very friendly. Most of the dishes there are classics like Lobster thermidore. They usually have 2-3 nightly specials and some good fresh catch offerings. I'd advise against the oysters there as they're sort of small.


That's about all my experience with seafood. Unfortunately I have some seafood allergies so I don't get to enjoy all of it.

I'll provide more posts later for other categories

Agreed. They have a new location now by the way.
