The 23 best spots for waffles in Corpus Christi

The food is definitely good whenever you drank the night before. Has the perfect balance of everything. Christina was our server and she was sweet and attentive! My friends kept saying that the coffee was really good and definitely recommend coming here for that!

I love this place. The service is number 1!! I can’t remember a place that had service as good as this. The food is traditional diner and amazing. I got a take on a Philly cheese steak. The difference was the toasted buttery house made bread. That with the house made fresh onion rings was just wonderful. They finish off every meal with some homemade cake. So go hungry! Everything was really wonderful but I could not finish it all. Oh! The diner looks exactly like a diner should. Bar, booths, and tables. But the tables have a plexiglass backer which muffles out the sound of the people in front and behind you so conversations are easy. The walls are decorated with photos of celebrities and customers. It’s really a great place and I highly recommend giving it a try.

This is the best hidden gem I’ve been to in Corpus! Breakfast was absolutely delicious and the pricing is amazing! I felt like I was at home! This is officially my favorite breakfast place! Staff was absolutely amazing and super nice! Our server Cinthia was soo sweet and made sure our first time dining there went great!

10/10 experienced! Each staff member we interacted with was friendly, and felt like family. Honestly was like hanging at Aunties house with your cousins. The food was absolutely wonderful! Old school, no fuss, wonderful pricing. We cannot wait to come back. To Luis-you were a kiss from heaven embodying an Angel who is no longer on earth. Thank you. We will print this photo, and be back.

If you're looking for a relaxed diner with great food, this is your place. It's like stepping back in time with good food, great service, and reasonable prices. Be sure to check out the lunch specials. My waitress, Beverly, was very attentive and did a great job. I got the meatloaf which was super tender and delicious. Their sides are just as delicious as is their desserts - today I enjoyed bread pudding. Mmmm

Amazing break fast . We ordered pancakes and migas plate, French toast . They were happy to customize the way we wanted and pancakes was filled with blueberries.

This place was absolutely amazing!!! We went 2 times back to back. The service was fantastic and the food was amazing. The price as well was awesome. There was 4 of us and only spent about 40 bucks for everyone. We don’t live in corpus but if we ever do that will be our favorite breakfast spot. Highly recommend going plus the inside is old school. Has a lot of vintage stuff.

A great place for breakfast. We come here every time we visit from San Antonio. The eggs and bacon are delicious. The 3 dollars pancakes are cute and very tasty. And I have to mention their biscuits and gravy, very good. Also, the staff is very friendly and prompt. The overall atmosphere here is amazing. We even loved how so many regulars were eating here and the employees were on first name basis with them. They already knew their orders too! That’s just great customer service. We will keep coming back and definitely recommend this place!

They just “get it”! Reminds me of a diner circa 1980. Honest helpful staff, great food! Breakfast menu was a solid choice of traditional american options and Mexican options. Food was fantastic! Portions were rational, and flavorful. My coffee cup stayed full the whole meal, every staff ensured we were cares for. Skip the fast food and try this local joint!

Andy's Kitchen in Corpus Christi is an absolute gem, embodying everything a classic diner should be. The ambiance is warm and inviting, a perfect blend of nostalgic charm and bustling energy. A delightful detail that truly sets it apart is the miniature toy train that perpetually circles the dining room, a whimsical touch that brings a smile to every face, young and old. The wait staff are consistently hospitable and genuinely friendly, making you feel like a welcomed guest rather than just a customer. They contribute significantly to the comforting, home-like atmosphere. But let's talk about the food! The biscuits and gravy are a revelation – fluffy biscuits smothered in a rich, flavorful gravy that tastes homemade. The crispy bacon is cooked to perfection, a crunchy complement to any breakfast dish. And the silver dollar pancakes? They are, without a doubt, the cutest you will ever lay eyes on, perfectly portioned and incredibly delicious. Andy's Kitchen is a must-visit for anyone seeking hearty, delicious food and an experience that feels like stepping back into a simpler, friendlier time.

Everything we ordered came out delicious!!!!! The customer service at this restaurant is very good and all employees were very friendly and mindful of what we needed weather it was a coffee refill our anything else, great atmosphere as well.

This was our first time at we will definitely be back! I was worried about a long wait because we got there around brunch rush, but we only waited 15 mins! Food was good, reasonably priced and great atmosphere!

This wasn’t the little restaurant I expected. The food was great, the place was lively and the train going round the restaurant was really interesting. The wait was a little long, but the food made up for it.

Andy's Country Kitchen: A Local Gem Where the Trains Run on Time (and the food is like home cooking). On a quest for authentic local flavor in Corpus Christi, Google led us to Andy's Country Kitchen, and boy, are we glad it did! We rolled in around noon, expecting a wait, but were whisked right to a table. Score one for immediate gratification! Stepping inside, you immediately realize this isn't your average chain restaurant. The decor is a delightful mix of aged wood, an abundance of greenery, and – wait for it – a model train that chugs along above your head! It's not fancy or trendy, but it's got a unique, quirky charm that just feels fun. Yes, it's a bit cozy (some might say "snug," especially when it's bustling), but they're clearly maximizing space to get all that deliciousness out to the hungry masses. Our server was efficient and friendly, guiding us through a menu loaded with comforting foods, including breakfast. And comforting it was! This is good, hearty, honest-to-goodness downhome cooking. The portions are generous and the food arrived surprisingly quickly. The prices? Very fair for the quality and quantity – a rare and beautiful thing these days. What truly sealed the deal for me was the distinct lack of obvious tourists. This felt like a genuine local hangout, which, as a discerning traveler, I wholeheartedly appreciate. If I lived in Corpus Christi, I'd be a regular fixture at Andy's. It's the kind of place where you leave feeling full, and happy. Don't expect white tablecloths; expect good food, good vibes, and maybe a little elbow room negotiation. Highly recommend for a truly local taste!

This is a “MUST VISIT” cafe in Corpus Christi TX. The food is EXCELLENT and the service and atmosphere match the food. My wife had a poached egg (looked like a rose) on top of a breakfast crab cake. She said it was to die for. I had eggs, bacon, potatoes, and the BEST Hester’s version of French Toast and they were INCREDIBLE! The Cafe leads into Bleu Frog, a General Store with something for everyone. We are going back later with the family (12 in all). We are going to check it out thoroughly. We will definitely come back every time we visit Corpus, highly recommend that you visit the cafe and general store as well. We love it when we find great cafes and stores like these. Thank You Hester!

This is a very serene place to hangout and eat breakfast, brunch or lunch. They have a variety of coffees, desserts, and menu items. We were very impressed with the variety of items on the menu. The time between ordering and receiving our food was in a timely manner. The service was friendly, efficient, and helpful. The atmosphere was clean and inviting.

Great place for breakfast. We were first-time visitors, but as soon as we walked in, a staff member approached us to explain the ordering process. That was very helpful. We had the Cheesy BEAT and the My Fair Lady. They were both delicious. Great atmosphere as well. There were plenty of families with young children. The restrooms were clean. The only thing that I disliked is that we were given a Smuckers single serve packet as a jam. I would think that a place that prepares such delicious food would make their own jam. Or at the very least something better than Smucker's. It seems like a place that gets very full, but we were there around 8 am. Highly recommend this place.

We came to Corpus Christi from Austin for a short weekend getaway, and since it was our first time here, we were looking for a good breakfast spot with solid vegetarian options. Google led us to Hester's Cafe – and it was totally worth it! We ordered the Avocado Toast, coffee, and Strawberry Pancakes with whipped cream. Everything tasted super fresh and delicious – exactly what we were hoping for to start the day😍 Huge shoutout to the staff 👏5 stars for customer service! My husband felt the pancakes were a bit overcooked, and when we brought it up, the manager was so kind and polite. He explained the prep and immediately offered to replace them without hesitation. Such a great experience! Made our day⭐️ Highly recommend if you’re in town and craving a wholesome breakfast with amazing vibes.❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re in Corpus Christi and skip Hester’s, you’re making a serious life mistake. The food here isn’t just breakfast and lunch—it’s happiness on a plate. Their coffee could revive a dead car battery (and tastes way better). The baked goods? Straight-up dangerous because you’ll want to eat three of everything. The staff is always friendly and on top of things, and the place has a cozy, local vibe that makes you want to stay longer than you should. My wife and I loved it—felt like we were eating at a friend’s house, if that friend happened to be a world-class cook with a coffee addiction. Bottom line: come hungry, leave happy, and don’t forget to grab something from the bakery case for “later” (spoiler: you’ll eat it in the car).

Amazing place! Food is soo good (the pancakes omg), service is great too. I will come again before heading home!

Unusual yet comfortable, warm setting, with a boutique shop. Get your phone out to type your order: what, with, drink, Desert and go pay for your order. Service is good.

Mimosas are over priced for quality. Food is over priced for quality.. The omelette was cooked perfect and the potatoes were delicious. The toppings for the omelette weren’t to my expectations especially for the price. Atmosphere is good, Super, super clean (absolutely love that) the organization around the restaurant is great, The decor is nice and neat. Staff is friendly. 7.5/10 over all experience. Good for a one time experience!

The staff were incredibly nice and accommodating. My issue was specifically with the food: I ordered the Salmon Eggs Benedict and a waffle, and while the Benedict was cooked well, it really didn't have any seasoning to add to the flavor. In addition, the syrup served with the waffle was coagulated, so the syrup behaved more like an egg white (slimy and chunky) so I didn't eat much of the waffle.

The staff was friendly. The environment was fine and clean. The food though… what the hell. My protein pancake was literally green. They add green food coloring to their protein pancakes so they know it’s a protein pancake. It’s 2025 I think you can come up with a better system. Avocado was hard. Omelet was decent. The syrup that came out of my cup for the pancake (which I didn’t eat) looked like a jellyfish when I poured it out. Definitely some extremely fake artificial syrup. Literally is like a jellyfish it’s disgusting. Like what is this loogie cup.

Food, service and atmosphere was great! My wife and I took our daughter on a vacation to visit the beach and this ended up being our breakfast spot as well as any future visits. It's a order at the counter self seating service, the wait was expected to be 30 minutes for food but we got it within a 10 minute threshold after ordering both times we went. The cooks know how to keep things flowing and everyone was pleasant to be around. 😁 10/10 will go again.

This is a good place to get breakfast. The food is consistently fresh and delicious. Service is alright and there are lots of seating options.

Husband and I went there this morning. We ordered two Morning Glories and the biscuits and gravy. Absolutely delicious!!! The hash browns were heavenly. The eggs cooked perfectly over medium as requested. It was REAL bacon. So yummy! The biscuits tasted like they were made from scratch. The gravy was thick and flavorful and they sprinkled bacon over the top. It was a 10/10 experience. I highly recommend and cannot wait to go again.

The concept is awesome!! Once we sat down we were greeted by three different wait staff to fulfill our drink order so I appreciate the attentiveness. Food came out in a reasonable time; however, it was cold!! The wait staff took care of this so graciously and the tall black server was super accommodating in making sure it came out hot and fresh!! The potatoes need some seasoning/flavor. Food was pretty good but the service is what would bring me back if we visited the area again.

I have visited a few times and was waiting to give an honest review, not just based on one or two visits. To begin with, the restaurant is really nice and modern, but sadly, the flies that hang around your food are not cool. It seems like in each visit there has been at least one fly, sometimes more flying around our tables. The food itself is excellent, and we have not had any issues with the taste. I definitely recommend the Farmers Combo and Asada Sunrise. The pancakes topped with bananas and strawberries are amazing and definitely recommend them. Service has been hit or miss. Overall, even though service starts off rough, it does end up getting better by the end of our meal. Overall, if the fly issue was fixed and service improved a tad, I would definitely rate them a 5.

Becca was our server, and we had a fantastic experience. The restaurant was at half capacity, and she checked on us frequently. We never had to ask for a drink refill; she was always on top of it. She was also very helpful with the menu, offering assistance and answering all our questions. Best server we have ever had!

We went with a family of 6 on Saturday morning during brunch so there was quite a wait to get in but that was expected. The manager came by and gave us some delicious scones for our wait which was appreciated. They were very busy and the service was just okay because of it. We waited about 30 minutes for our food after we ordered but everything was hot and delicious from the eggs and pancakes to the lamb chops and burgers. The quality of all the food is very good no matter what you get here!

Serving sizes are huge. Flavor is 10/10. Try their Dubai Chocolate pancakes. The pancakes also came with 3 cage free eggs, 3 meats of your choice, and potatoes. Only downside was the host could have been more friendly she wasn’t mean but her customer service was not up to par as the rest of the staff which everyone was so kind and welcoming. Bathrooms also need some serious deep cleaning. It is worth to invest in professional cleaning for a business so wonderful like this one. Overall super satisfied and we seriously wanted to come back again the next morning before our 6 hr trip back home.

10 out of 10!!!! Loved everything. First we were told the wait was going to be 35 minutes, it was only 10. Our waiter Jeremy was prompt, very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. My family collectively had the seafood omelette, the lamb bacon, eggs, pancakes, waffles, the honey grits, and the Dubai chocolate pancakes. Everything was amazing!

This was hands down the best thing I’ve eaten! The presentation alone was stunning — a masterpiece with bold garnishes and a dramatic knife standing tall. The flavors were out of this world: crispy, golden perfection on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, all smothered in a rich, savory sauce that tied everything together beautifully. Every bite was comforting yet elevated, and the portion was generous without sacrificing quality. This dish didn’t just meet my expectations — it blew them away. If you’re looking for something unforgettable, this is it. I’d come back just for this meal! My family and I truly enjoyed this experience. I wish this restaurant was close to home.

Chops & Eggs has quickly become our go to spot, we eat here weekly and every single meal is consistently perfect. Pictured are two of our dinner favorites: Tender lamb tips with mushrooms, rich brown gravy over creamy mashed potatoes and the 16oz prime New York strip, cooked to absolute perfection and served with mash and fresh asparagus. Both dishes are not only beautifully presented but bursting with flavor. As someone with a gluten allergy, I’m always impressed by how many safe and delicious options are available. The care they put into accommodating dietary needs is rare and so appreciated. Chef Jordan is truly exceptional his love and passion for food shines through in every bite. The prices are reasonable, the staff is always friendly, and the welcoming atmosphere makes us feel like family. We always leave full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!

I got Thai salad with peanuts favorite thing to get from thai places. Friend got chimichurri looking steak. It was great just spicy. Indian food spicy. Lol

The most upscale yet unassuming Thai we’ve found in Corpus! Friendly staff with great service, exceptional cocktails, and the food is served hot with really fresh ingredients. We did multiple starters and a roll to get a wide flavor variety. The Golden Money Bags are stuffed full and fried to perfection, light and crispy. Firecracker shrimp also perfectly lightly fried. Sauces were complex and tasty. Loved the spider roll. Decor might appear industrial or sterile, but from the second you enter the door the staff adds the warmth and vibe you’d expect while Coasting 🤙 When it’s Thai time, it’s BKK!

Recently discovered this gem in Corpus. Have eaten here twice in the last month. Both times the food was fabulous and received outstanding service. Our server Emma was great and stayed on top of all our needs. She recommend both dishes I ordered on my last visit. The Pad Kar Pow and Roti Coconut Ice-cream. Can wait to eat here again!

Atmosphere. It’s so relaxing and calming. Lunch Special was great. The peanut dressing surprised me on a salad! The service was top tier. Frankie was an excellent server. He matched the ambience, calming and consistent. Impressive watching him run the floor by himself and still maintain attention. I’ve managed concepts for years and was impressed.

Recommend by a friend of mine & it was super good! Glad we came & has the grilled chicken pad Thai

I love this place so I want to be honest. Something has changed. The food has cheaper ingredients. The drinks are not made properly. The bartender was only there 2 weeks and wanted to argue with me a guest of 7 years on how their dinks taste. The manager was kind and polite but I can tell she is not getting the help she needs to maintain the high standards they used to have. You can tell the staff is spread too thin and the kitchen is understaffed. Let me reiterate I LOVE THIS PLACE. So for me we as consumers need to give them more business to allow them to get back to the amazing place they were. Dump our disposal income into then as the economy catches up and support this great local restaurant. And the server trainee ANNA was an absolute peach. She is gonna help them move forward and get back to the level they were 3 years ago

The food was tasty! Alejandro was attentive and provided delicious recommendations.

First time coming here with family, and had a wonderful time! The food was amazing and the staff were so sweet and informative. The vibes are very retro including the music, and it’s very spacious. We got lucky that day and saw a flyer on the table stating that during this same day there will be a muscle car show and they’ll be serving the full menu with a discount off the smoothies! We decided to come back again at 5pm when the show started and had a blast. So many cars came into the parking lot, lots of people checking out the cars and eating the food. Highly recommend for a great brunch spot to try!

Everything about this place is just AMAZING! I happened to just stumble on it because my 8 yr old needed to use the restroom and I found a hidden gem! It reminds me of a diner from the movie Grease. All their food is fresh and cooked to perfection. The employees are the sweetest and the decor is like a travel back in time. I have yet to find a dish that I haven't liked.

What a fun place! This 50s themed diner is like a step back in time, complete with the waitstaff in poodle skirts! Sandi took care of us and was very personable. You can tell she loves what she does. It was my birthday and we were there specifically for their highly recommended giant cinnamon roll. They were still rising when we got there and she thought it might not be ready, but after checking on it, she said it was perfectly ready to bake! The fresh baked, hot from the oven cinnamon roll was a perfect birthday treat! We got to celebrate in 50s style for my 50th!

First time here my husband is from Corpus he used to come here as a teenager when it was a Pharmacy. We are visiting from SATX this restaurant is very nice and great prices too.

Best pancakes I’ve had in a while. The theme was absolutely amazing and with all the items in the display was really a jump back to the 50’s. Breakfast was a good amount of food but what I mostly loved were the pancakes! They were fresh, warm, and fluffy. Can’t wait to go back for more!

Decided to stop here after our beach trip and MAN it was the best food we had all trip! So glad we stopped. The servers and staff were super friendly and there were so many cute vintage items to look at.

I had been apprehensive because of an incident a co-worker told me about. I tried it anyway, and here is my review. The atmosphere was fun and reminded me of the dinner in the movie, "Grease." It was like a step back in time. The music was 50's and upbeat. Very cute, it made me want to put my poodle skirt on - I loved it!! The hostess was nice, but not too friendly or welcoming. She seemed timid and not knowledgeable of the restaurant or menu items. Maybe, she was new? The service was great. Our server was friendly, outgoing, smiling, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. She was what gave this establishment four stars instead of three. The food was hot and fresh. I ordered a burger and fries. The burger was not a frozen patty, so that was a nice surprise. The burger seasoning was different, and the patty was small. The bun was too big for the burger - too much bread (for my liking). The fries were crisp and seasoned well. One thing that made this experience negative for me was a tall blond woman working there who was waking around with a scowl on her face. It was definitely off-putting. Maybe she was having a bad day? I'm not sure. I will give the establishment another chance. I will update if my opinion changes.

I had the Café Chocolat Allemand, Pâtes au Pesto Crémeux, and a Tarte aux Fruits at Bien Mérité Bakery and Restaurant, and every bite was magnifique! The presentation was stunning and the flavors were perfectly balanced rich, smooth, and unforgettable. The rose-pink aesthetic with all the flowers gave the café so much charm and character it felt like stepping into a little dream of France. The atmosphere was warm, elegant, and full of personality. My waiter was wonderful attentive, friendly, and full of great recommendations. He even drew a little cat on my receipt, which completely made my day! Truly a five-star experience from start to finish. Merci, Bien Mérité!

Could be considered on the pricier side, but everything was really good. I had the smoked salmon eggs Benedict and it was delicious! Everything we had was good. Our server was very nice and sweet, but being sat in the back there were points where we felt we were waiting quite a bit for certain things. Overall I'd definitely go back. Excited for the new building as this one has a weird smell upon first entering.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had such a great brunch at Bien Mérité! It was busy but the wait wasn’t long at all. The decor is Instagram worthy with a floral wall and string lights, giving bloomcore/gardencore. I got the breakfast burrito (crunchy bacon, flavorful salsa, and perfect potatoes on the side) and an iced horchata white mocha that I’d definitely reorder. You can grab coffee and baked goods up front, and even the water cups are cute! Parking’s a little tight, but totally worth it for the experience.

So so so good!!!! This was our first visit and we WILL be back. Everything we ordered was amazing! Shout out to William for great service! The food is fresh and very well priced. This is now one of my favorite restaurants in Corpus Christi.

I absolutely adore this little restaurantm this was first time going. The food is incredible! We had the breakfast burrito. I had the French 💋 coffee 😍 the chai latte was also incredible. You need to save room for dessert or take it to go. Mirror raspberry pistachio tart was incredible. They also make macarons and eclairs. Definitely a brunch destination. The staff was also incredibly nice. If you're and Instagram influencer or live picture ops this is a great place to go.

Came here for ky birthday and it was a great choice. The staff was super friendly and the food and coffee was great. Only took a picture of my croissant (pistachio topping with raspberry filling 😋) but the breakfast burrito and sandwich were also great. I love that they do all their breads made in house. Would definitely be going here again. If your coming off the interstate there is a fairly large parking lot if your drive past the front of restaurant. Not that the front parking is bad, just a little harder to see the traffic when your trying to leave.

Ben and Destiny were amazing servers! I am so satisfied with the way my food came out. I got the grilled cheese with tomato soup and ate it all up! Destiny was attentive and interacted so kindly with our table. Ben, even though he was not our server, also checked in on us and made sure we were doing okay. I felt so welcomed and valued. For sure will be back!

This is a classic mom & pop restaurant with that classic diner/Cafe design and food fair. You walk in and you step back in time. Check out the retro table top in the photos with the aluminum table edge. If that doesn't say classic or even vintage. I don't know what will. I ordered the pecan waffle with bacon and coffee. My wife had the her basic breakfast. Not shown in the photos, we had a cinnamon roll with pecans and raisins in it. Order it cold, heated or grilled and buttered.

What a lovely and bizarre place. It’s like you’re back in the 80s. Everything would be the same. Drip coffee, all dishes are fried, even the vegetables, everything is less than $12, Bush never happened. The towers are still standing. While contemplating over all that, the waitress comes by and refills the cup of coffee. It’s all good, you’re safe here.

Wife was in the mood for something different for breakfast, so a quick Google search led us to Town & Country Cafe. It’s a fully themed country-style restaurant—floor to ceiling, it’s giving full-on country vibes. We asked the staff for their bestsellers and ended up ordering the Chicken Fried Steak and the Town & Country Breakfast (plus a side of onion rings). The chicken fried steak was decent—not too oily, which was a plus. It came with eggs, hash, and slaw. Definitely the better of the two plates. The Town & Country Breakfast was a little underwhelming. Sausage, pancakes, and a biscuit—not bad, just pretty standard. One nice touch though: jams and butter are all-you-can, so if you’re into loading up your biscuits or pancakes, you’re covered. Also, just a heads up—drinks are non-refillable, so plan accordingly if you’re the bottomless coffee type. Not a dealbreaker, but good to know. Overall, it’s a solid choice if you’re craving that classic diner-country breakfast experience, but don’t go in expecting fireworks.

Amazing atmosphere, the staff is so friendly. But best of all the food is DELICIOUS 🤤 and so reasonably priced with massive portions. The broccoli 🥦 cheese 🧀 soup was amazing 🥲. We also had a the chicken fried chicken but I ate it before the picture….. anyways great place to eat at.

Town & Country Diner – A Hidden Gem with Classic Charm! I stopped in at Town & Country and ordered the eggs Benedict — and wow. The poached eggs were perfectly cooked, silky and rich, nestled on a fresh English muffin with just the right touch of crisp. But the real star? That hollandaise sauce. Velvety, buttery, and tangy with just enough zing to wake up your taste buds — hands down one of the best I’ve had in a while. The service was just as impressive. Polite, fast, and genuinely welcoming — the staff gave off that classic diner vibe where everyone feels like family. Even though it was busy, everything ran smoothly, and the energy in the room was vibrant but cozy. It’s the kind of place you could bring the whole family to and know everyone would leave happy and full. All in all, Town & Country delivers exactly what you want in a diner experience: amazing food, great people, and a warm, nostalgic atmosphere that makes you want to come back again and again.

My husband and I dined at Town & Country Cafe in Corpus Christi and it was a great experience. The atmosphere has warm, hometown charm, with cozy red booths and a welcoming vibe that feels like a family gathering. The service was exceptional—staff greeted us with genuine warmth, making us feel right at home. The food was outstanding, reminiscent of a home-cooked meal prepared by my grandma. The fluffy pancakes and perfectly cooked eggs were highlights, while the pecan waffle was pure comfort food. Every dish brought a sense of nostalgia and care. Town & Country Cafe is a gem for anyone seeking a heartfelt dining experience in Corpus Christi. I highly recommend it to those who appreciate quality food and a cozy, family-like setting.

Excellent service. Delicious food. Cozy atmosphere. Will visit next time we’re in Corpus!

Great food here ! Super fresh with an updated twist ! Flavors on the Birria Ramen were exsposive ! Beef enchiladas were also bomb ! And bathrooms were very pleasant! Blueberry biscuits sweet ! enjoy!

Nice little restaurant. They have the best horchata to-date that I've had outside of Mexico. It was creamy and delicious. I had the grilled shrimp plate. Very good, but you'd better bring your appetite. My husband had the carne guisada and cheese enchilada plate and said it was good.

I recently visited El Porto Mexican Restaurant while in town for work and stopped in after a long day. I decided to try the quesabirria tacos, and they did not disappoint – the food was delicious. However, what truly stood out to me was the exceptional service. It’s been a long time since I’ve experienced such attentive yet unobtrusive service. The balance was perfect: the staff checked in just enough to ensure everything was going well without interrupting the meal, and if I needed anything, they were always easy to flag down. The restaurant was clean, fast, and the staff was incredibly friendly. It felt like they truly cared about providing a great experience, and I was treated like I was part of the family. I truly believe that if more restaurants could master this level of service combined with friendly staff, they would have booming businesses. I didn’t catch the name of the lady who served me, but I paid out at 6:33 PM, so hopefully, you can track her down and thank her on my behalf. Overall, the experience was exceptional, and the food was a steal at only $20. I ended up tipping $30, which is the highest tip I’ve ever given (150%) at any restaurant. I’m grateful for the great service and will definitely be returning! Thank you again!

This is a place that you might overlook. But I tell you what, this is a place that you are needing to try. The FOOD and SERVICE is AMAZING... Truly MEXICAN FOOD at its FINEST...!

I was really excited to try this place based on the positive reviews, but I left feeling disappointed and confused. The food was mediocre, and some of the dishes didn’t match traditional expectations. For instance, the gorditas looked very different from the authentic ones you’d find if you searched online. The gordita was very dry. The cheese on the enchiladas was thick, cold and chewy, which made it difficult to enjoy. On a positive note, the staff was friendly, but unfortunately, the food just didn’t live up to the hype of the reviews.

My breakfast was what I was hoping for!! The barbacoa was moist, fresh tasting , but not greasy at all. My eggs were cooked perfectly, and their homemade corn tortillas were very flavorful. Service was fast, and the waitress was attentive and friendly. The place is spacious and clean looking. Prices are great and plate was well served.

Amazing supreme nachos and mango margarita was top notch. Service was amazing will be my go to taco place in corpus

Took awhile for us to be sat. No one was up front when we walked in. Once sat, our waitress was very friendly and informative. She brought 2 delicious cookies for us to sample while deciding on what to order. I ordered the farmer's breakfast - very good. My husband ordered the lunch sampler and said it was good. We walked by the pastries and bread when leaving. It looks delicious, and we'll have to try some soon.

We had breakfast and it was delicious! The pastries were unique and delicious! They caught your eye as soon as you enter the restaurant. They also have fresh bread and half priced good from previous batches. Place its simple but genuine. Family owned with a lot of good flavors that give you a great taste of German/European food.

Let me tell you. This is … wait… just look at the photos. This place is amazing. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is fun and exciting. The staff is friendly. Let’s go back to the food though! The FOOD IS AMAZING. Whether you want great breakfast or wonderful cinnamon rolls, this is a must stop place in corpus to visit.

Very good food and nice atmosphere. I loved the German breakfast tacos. They were more like crepes but better. Wife loved the French toast breakfast sandwich. Was not sweet as expected, but still very delicious and I believe you can ask for it sweeter and cinnamon and for syrup. Did provide side of powdered sugar ,but wife preferred without. Also loved the blueberry strudel. Tables for pets outside. Super friendly and fast and not busy for Saturday lunch. Next time I might try German meatloaf.

Came in Sunday morning around 10:45 and was seated immediately. Wife got the Ruben on pretzel bread and German potato salad. I ordered the jagerschnitzel with sauerkraut. Wife’s food was good but the schnitzel and sauerkraut was amazing. Particularly the kraut. Waitress said some people had sent it back the previous day because they didn’t like it and ask me to Rey and would change it out if I didn’t like but there’s no way I was sending that back. It did have mashed potatoes in it which was different but made it very creamy. Tasted more like the real German potato salad that net ones the wife got as her side order. Health officials won’t allow the real, warm version, of the potato salad to be served for some reason. I’ve had German food in Germany and this was about as close as it gets. I will be coming back every time we visit Corpus. Highly recommended.

JB’s was a decent experience overall. I’m used to bolder flavors, so the food didn’t completely meet my expectations. The real highlight? The pastries! They absolutely nailed those. I’d definitely swing by again just for the baked goods. The environment was also really enjoyable, which added to the experience.

This was one of our first experiences trying German food and it was really good! We got to try several traditional German dishes and they had a lot of flavor.

This is a cute place to check out. The food is good, but not a must. The chips were my favorite part of the food. The coffee was delicious! The staff was very polite and fun to be around. It is a bit pricy, but the coffee is worth it!

This is a wonderful place to relax and take it easy with a breakfast and brunch atmosphere. The staff are kind, food is simple and good, and the coffee hits just right. I enjoy the little mini shop with local options to peruse and purchase as a nice addition to this little Cafe. If you would like to come study with a latte, enjoy a relaxing breakfast, or just listen to the sounds of coffee brewing, this is a spot for you.

We came to Corpus Christi during Spring break . It was strange, but on Sunday only few coffee shops were open. We stopped at Lucy’s and were very happy with our choices. Later in the afternoon we came back again. So, you see that we really like our coffees (we ordered the same things). It’s a very cute place with a good number of tables, and dogs are allowed even inside. And the staff was very friendly.

I totally recommend visiting Lucy's if you are in Corpus!!! I ordered an iced vanilla matcha latte and it was by far the best matcha I have ever tried. The employees are super nice, and the location is great to take pictures! I also recommend visiting the surrounding shops, the New York cheesecake from the bakery tastes even better if you pair it with a matcha latte from Lucy's!

United soda's were very good 35 calories each. Didn't try the food, but will try it next visit. Snack menu offered pickled veggies, marinated olives, mini charcuterie, and moms egg sandwich: white bread with mayo, two scrambled eggs. Music was nice.

Service was terrible, lady taking orders/making drinks was very unwelcoming. took just over 30 mins to bring out a sandwich. Everything was extremely slow. I will not be returning here just for the customer service alone! also on my breakfast sandwich they gave me a single piece of bacon.

I really wish I could love this place. The space is beautiful, lots of natural light, greenery, and cozy seating that made it such a great spot to study when I was in college. (Although the seats are uncomfortable and they tend to make it pretty cold inside) Even when they introduced a policy requiring a purchase every 45 minutes to use the WiFi, I still came fairly often. Unfortunately, the customer service has consistently left a bad taste in my mouth. It’s not every single time, and not every staff member, but there’s a noticeable pattern—especially with the women working there—of being ignored, treated coldly, or made to feel like an inconvenience. Recently, I walked in, and the cashier was chatting with the customer in front of me, maybe someone she knew, but didn’t acknowledge me once, even though I was standing there ready to order. Eventually, I just left. It sucks, honestly. I’ve seen similar complaints in other reviews, so I know I’m not the only one. The drinks have never impressed me, but the food is actually really good. I just wish the service matched the vibe of the space. Sadly, I don’t see myself going back.

BEST BLUE CRAB cakesssss OMG! Went for breakfast and this place did not disappoint. My bf & I live here in CC but it felt like we were vacationing up north all over again with the beautiful ambiance and friendly waitstaff working. We truly felt most welcomed & intend to return for their dinner menu. Amy was our server and she was beyond sweet, even offered us coffee or juice to go. We left mesmerized, tbh. I reccomend this restaurant! 5 out of 5!!! They have an awesome breakfast buffet that I'd like to try next time also. Yummmmm.

Our waitress Maria, as well as the host and kitchen crew made my daughter’s 19th birthday extra special this past Monday, August 18. They went out of their way and surprised her with beautiful balloons, a birthday card signed by all the staff, a delicious birthday dessert and a mocktail with a beautiful purple flower. 🌺 Our views were gorgeous overseeing the water and the food was delicious. Overall it was a lovely experience and we will definitely be coming back! Thanks again for the beautiful memories and wonderful service.🥳❤️🎂

This is a hidden gem in downtown Corpus Christi. Quality, friendly service. Wonderful dinner options. And the best chocolate ganache dessert. The fish was cooked perfectly as well as the chicken. Get their margarita! It is amazing. Also, it only costs just a little bit more than going to Chili’s.

Amazing views, amazing food, and their creme brulee was soooooo good! We had ribeye steak and grilled Mahi Mahi and they were both cooked to perfection. Even the sides of broccolini and garlic mashed potatoes were delicious. I HIGHLY recommend Switchgrass Landing

Ask for V! went in for coffee n an appetizer, ended up staying for lunch. very friendly staff w a beautiful view of the bay. very clean restaurant!

Great place to check out. The breakfast buffet is my favorite, it had a great selection and fresh omelettes! The staff was lovely, I had a sore throat during our stay and the waitress made great drink recommendations. The best part was watching the dolphins swim by the pier while sipping on our coffee.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary. We had a wonderful time. The staff were great and the service was great. The food was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. The chefs came out to greet us and wish us a happy anniversary. This was and will always be memorable for us. Thank you so much.

Food was delicious and hot, came out perfect. Hadn't been here in a few years but taste just like it used to. Would recommend to others and will definitely be back! A+++

Wow! Authentic mexican food no doubt about it! Food is phenomenal, homemade, the tortillas are also homemade and so dang good!! If you are looking for legit authentic mexican food, look no further, their prices can't be beat! We had the cheese enchilada plate and the chicharron plate, both were legit!

We were told this was one of Selena’s favorite restaurants. The food was great. But tortillas aren’t homemade. The flour ones did taste homemade but they aren’t. But I mean overall the food was great & super packed! That’s a given how good it is.

Hi-Ho is by far one of the best culinary experiences I’ve had. I discovered this gem while visiting the Selena Museum, and it did not disappoint! The food was amazing as was the service and atmosphere as well. I had the pleasure of meeting Ben who’s an amazing guy. He took the time to share the rich history behind the restaurant, which made the experience even more meaningful. I was recommended by my waitress the carne guisada which was absolutely delicious. (Ps they have the best tortillas somebody could ever taste) Thanks again and I can’t wait to visit Hi-Ho again!

Best Mexican food ever. Great hospitality, waitress was friendly and courteous. Owners very welcoming. Staff great. A wonderful way to end a great trip.

The food here is excellent. Just like home made Mexican food. Our waitress Carmen always provides outstanding service, but all the waitresses there are very good. There Mole, chicken chalupas, chicken enchiladas, barbacoa, menudo always on point. Everything is always yummy.

First time eating here. My tacos were delicious. Waitress was kind and attentive. It was very busy. Yall give it a try.

Awful. This run-down, less-than-clean dive is a chaotic mix between Dine-In and Drive-Thru and offers zero reassurance on up-to-code cleanliness. The staff, a motley crew of college-aged young adults, are friendly, but are not professional, or attentive, and are less-than-presentable in terms of uniform/food safety clothing. Though it should be noted, I did see one hair net in use amongst the 5 teammates who should have been using them. Let's talk about the food. Using "food" loosely here... My order was supposed to be - 2 chicken tacos with cilantro and onion and 2 al pastor tacos with cilantro only. I received - 4 egg tacos, 2 chicken tacos all the way, 2 al pastor tacos all the way. None of which were made with Taco tortillas. Apparently, here they use some kind of pita-like bread as taco tortillas. The "salsa" is something akin to sink water and tomato juice. Skip it and just drink bath water instead. It's important to note that though we did not order the egg tacos, they were dangerously undercooked. The chicken tasted like cat food. The pastor was good, but not great, and was swimming in oil and grease. TL;DR, don't eat here. This place is dying and we need to let it before someone gets sick or dies. Or the owners need to mount a strong executive presence immediately and effect positive change.

Our family has and will remain fans. In fact, this establishment is a local community favorite. Thank you for the food, smiles and open seating. Hands down the place to pickup delicious meals ❤️ and those who enjoy a brisk walk such as high school students and athletes as well as active fit families…..select here for their morning breakfast tacos and lunch as well as diner specials. Thank you 😊

Ordered a carne asada taco but got ground beef. Even tho he read it back to me twice. The guy at the window had no personality or hospitality. the salsa is very watery and the cheese they use is horrible. . The only thing good about this place is their watermelon frescas and the serving sizes of bacon.

The crne asade is NOT good. Their price on chips and salsa to go are Horrible. The guy at the window needs to be put in another position...not customer service. And their cheese sucks. Best thing they have going is their watermelon frescas.

Tacos are huge..taste good..hot sauce isn't hot. Flour chips, my kids loved.

Those in the area will know what gem this place is: this review is for the others. . We visited after a brief visit to a local, who recommended their tacos. There was quite a line for the drive through, but luckily we planned to dine-"in". . Parking out front, we entered via the chain link gate. This place clearly gets busy, as there was seating for multitudes and standing for even more. We walked up to the unprepossessing order window and studied what to have. . I decided on the Brisket taco ("Do you want BBQ sauce" , huh? On a taco?) and a Picaddillo taco, plus unsweet tea. We sat at a picnic table, and the cashier brought us our drinks. A very few minutes later, she brought us tacos. . Yeah, they are superb. The tortillas are awesome, and stuffed with almost too much fillings. We also had a few of they salsas in the bag. . The brisket was truly top-notch, not too lean and tossed in BBQ sauce. I was surprised to see pickles too. This was like a brisket sandwich, but using a tortilla. The picaddillo taco was equally perfect, filled plentifully with delicious meat and [potatoes] (maybe? It was fantastic) . There was nothing about the experience that was at all bad. Really excellent meal. . They do have a drive through. When busy, the locals came in to the window and left a few minutes later. . If I lived anywhere close, I'd definitely be a regular.

The food in this establishment is delicious, from taquitos, to caldos , gorditas to aguas frescas. My favorite are the brisket and steak tacos , they are the bomb. Watermelon drinks so good and refreshing. Plenty of benches to sit down and eat. The personnel is so nice and attentive great customer service. Restroom is available as well. I love this place and highly recommend it. Thumbs up👍

This place was amazing! I loved the vibe, the food was so delicious, I got the donut breakfast sandwich from the Saturday Brunch Menu and it was so yummy!! The Colosal cheesecake is amazing, so creamy and delicious! So was the Tiramisu. The staff was super friendly. I will be back and tell friends about it 🧡

This place is great! Good food for a great price! Friendly service, and the bakery items look amazing too. They were even able to make adjustments to my partners meal, who is allergic to dairy. Breakfast and brunch places are usually very hard for him to find something to eat at, but they were able to accommodate his allergy no problem.

Food was a solid 7/10 and service was kind but hard to get a hold of. Honestly brunch is super busy in general so understandable. Mocha latte was good but not stellar. Biscuit was dry but gravy tasted good. Waffles are fantastic and house potatoes. My group liked their savory dishes (pancakes, eggs, bacon) so maybe stick with ordering those when you come here. Overall, nice people and decent food options but maybe try to beat the brunch rush if you can!

Had a really good time here, couldn’t recommend it enough. The service was great and the food super delicious. The atmosphere was pretty good too and everyone around extremely friendly. Definitely visit again at some point.

Cute place with a lot of tables. The food is good. The pasta salad side was really good. The club sandwich I had was average. The lemon meringue pie was ... WOW, absolutely delish! The service was good. The staff was friendly and attentive. Parking is limited for the size of the restaurant. Go if you want great pie!

They were attentive. They always made sure we were good. The food came out hot and delicious.

I am impressed! First of all my sandwich was cooked perfectly with the right amount of everything. The bread was toasted lightly but still soft and the cheese was melted…exactly how it should be! For dessert I got the key lime bar and oh my goodness…It was perfection ❤️ seriously one of the best desserts I’ve had in Corpus Christi, so simple and so good. For sure in my top five treats!

Been ordering at the drive thru and the sauce they give is really good but I wish they could give more than one if we order two . . The lady that always gets our order is very rude always giving an attitude always has an ear piece in her ear . Overall the only thing that is good is the sauce . Needs better customer service

Nano's Taco Run on Holly is a go-to spot for hearty, flavorful tacos and classic Tex-Mex comfort food. The breakfast tacos are always fresh and filling, and the tortillas taste homemade. Service is quick and friendly, and prices are reasonable for the quality and portion size. However, one thing that knocked it down a star for me: the online menu doesn't match what they actually serve. I showed up expecting to order a couple of items listed on their website, only to find they weren't available-or priced differently. It can be frustrating if you're trying to plan ahead or order something specific. That said, the food still hits the spot and the overall experience is worth it. Just be aware that the best way to order is to show up in person and check the menu boards. Great local spot with room for a little improvement on the digital side. Will definitely be back

I recently bought a couple of tacos and It was a bit off the mark One taco was greasy and the other really dry It was not the norm because it is one of my favorite places to eat. The picadillo meat was not strained it is normally really meaty and the carne guisada meat was dry . Tasty but not there best this day .

This was my first time at Nano’s. I ordered the chorizo and egg taco. I can taste the cheap chorizo that was used or should I say I could NOT taste the chorizo. It was flavorless! The tortilla was hand made and delicious. The sauce was incredible. I am going to give this place another try. The two stars is a reflect of the chorizo and egg breakfast taco. Not necessarily of the service or restaurant itself.

I ate inside and I had the agua de pina while I waited for my food. The agua Fresca was so good and refreshing. The enchiladas were great, however the beans were lacking flavor. I would come again.

Prices are not updated on the menu. They won’t mention it until you say something. I ordered potato and egg, potatoes tasted similar to frozen ones from bag.

Quick and cheap breakfast tacos. They were so good and definitely home-made ingredients! They even use the good shredded cheddar cheese. We got there around 11:30a on a Saturday and it was packed with people inside and drive thru. We left and went back around noon the same day and the restaurant was almost completely empty. Inside is very cold and not many seating areas. The staff was so nice and quick. We got three HUGE tacos total and 2 large sweet teas for $18

My wife and I enjoyed a weekday breakfast together at S & J. The line looked long but definitely moves quick. The workers moved quick and had great attitudes towards all customers. You definitely get your money's worth with every item. We will be visiting again when we get the chance.

Excellent cookies, best snicker doodle I have had in years. Unfortunately they were sold out of kolaches, but that’s what happens when you’re the best. My son got chicken tenders and they were like big nuggets but he still seemed happy with them. Will stop in again if I am ever back this way.

This is my favorite place for kolaches. It's always fresh, hot and delicious!! The sausage and cheese are even good warmed up days after. The employees are friendly and always in a good mood!

Their not much to say if you know, you know S&J's always hits. these pictures are not fresh but still good

Have driven by many times and could not figure out why a bakery had such a big parking lot .. well, now I know they also serve food. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich on house bread with chips. I got the meal, which included a drink and a sweet ( not just a cookie , anything they had). The prices were great. I loved the chicken salad , the bread was very good. My husband got the lunch special , chicken strips with mashed potatoes, gravy , salad , drink, and a dessert. The place is huge.

Simple review. Great food, staff is on point, and the place is quiet and comfortable. Parking is available along with handicap parking. 10/10.

There's this lady, I don't know her name but I'll find out soon and post it on here. I seen her with other white ppl be all smiles and joy but when I showed up at the window, I got hostility, the way she handed and grabbed the money with me was racial. She was with another young white woman. (She's not the problem). It was the elder lady She was with at the window. It was giving " I'm races and don't like Hispanics" @least that's the impression she gave!!!!! 9/2/2025 9am

Sad day to see Chachos ride off to the sunset. Tacos were great, Carne Guisada is top notch. Even made me a ToGo Chicken Fried Steak Chachos Challenge. Thanks yall, God speed

The barbacoa taco was the best ever!!! The flour tortillas are so soft here, delicious! And the beef puffy taco was very good too. I can’t wait to come back and try some more items on the menu!!!

Very friendly staff, I constantly have favor orders here & absolutely enjoy how accommodating and nice the employees are here. They have a huge taco challenge, & chicken fried steak challenge, that I have been wanting to try, but haven't practiced for. My bf had the picadillo plate & I had Mary's plate which consists of 2 enchiladas, 1 crispy taco, 1 chalupa, beans & rice. I wasn't a fan of the rice but everything else was muy bien. I reccomend, pretty quick service too.

The food and service is amazing. We can't wait to go back.

The breakfast was soo GOOD! The beans tasted just like my grandma's, and the barbacua was soo good too. If you're looking for something that is not fast food, this is the place for you. All homemade food, and it is always packed here, but trust me, it's worth the wait for a table.

Amazing meal today and the friendliest service I’ve had in a while. Chicken Friday steak was the lunch special so I tried it out. The CFS was really good and the batter stuck to every bite. Mashed potatoes were great and the corn had a nice buttery flavor. I don’t get to Corpus as much as I would like, but next time I’m definitely coming here for some tacos and a torta.

Affordable delicious tacos!!! Yes, try this place! First time here and will definitely be back! I almost forgot to take pictures! Lol the crispy tripas were so flavorful and carne guisada was flavorful and tender. The chorizo and egg was basic nothing special.. the tortilla was nice and soft and pretty good.

By far- one of my favorite sandwich places of all time. I love the VILLA ST JACQUES and the turtle cheesecake. SO GOOD. Views here are hard to beat! Check out the Lexington and the Harbor Bridge! Also- enjoy the art museum - so many beautiful paintings and art!

Super delicious. Great for brunch, lunch, and dinner. The menu always has great specials. This location has an amazing view!

This cafe is in the museum, you have to stop and get some pin to enter the restaurant from a basket in the gift shop, but the view is very beautiful , of the bay. The food was really good but I like the vibe of the other Hester's location.

The all-glass walls at Hester's at the Art Museum provide spectacular views of CC Bay, the Harbor Bridge and the city's top two attractions on North Beach (Aquarium and Lexington). The food is healthy, fresh and one of the "sure bets" for having a really good lunch in Corpus Christi. It's inside the museum, but they allow you to enter for free if you are dining at Hester's. Service is fast and quality is dependable.

It was ok. Ambiance was great, people there very friendly. Sandwich I had only ok. Salad it came with only had greens, but had a nice balsamic vinaigrette. Lemonade was good, and the capachino nice, but would have been better with China. But the real issue I had is if your just going in for lunch the front desk stops you, you have to go through the museum. Been to all the hesters, probably wouldn't go back to this one.

This place is excellent!!! My wife and I look forward to eating here any time we're in the area. Great atmosphere and ambience.

Great coffee! Delicious food! Amazing view! A very nice place for breakfast and lunch. Best place for breakfast in town. The Sanwiches and soup are delicious. The staff is very friendly, excellent customer service. Always great! Delicious pastries. Great atmosphere.

This was our first visit to Gallery41. We started with some wine and the pineapple jalapeño Margarita which we felt were perfectly mixed. We then shared the crab cakes and Mary appetizer - the Bloody Mary shot was a unique twist and my husband said if brunch is as good as the Mary shot then we would definitely be stopping in again. We also shared the blackened drum and honey glazed carrots, finishing off our meal with Creme brûlée for desert. We sat outside during our meal and enjoyed the shade, the breeze, & the view of the bay. Overall the atmosphere is great and the staff attentive. Our server Ben was top notch and very friendly. We definitely recommend Gallery41, not only for the vibe, but for the food and the staff.

Meet Ryder and the rest of the team at Gallery 41. The crew takes you on an exceptional culinary experience. We took Ryder's suggestion, the Garden Vegetables Puff Pastry. It was amazing. Our entreés were Seared Duck Breast and Crab Salad, both were accompanied with amazing dressings and sauces. We ended the lunch day with a Cappuccino and Creme Bruleé. The food is well-balanced in flavors, portions, and so memorable. Beautiful crew and beautiful view at Gallery 41!

Love this place, awesome food, great music. If was a great get away trip after 7 years to Corpus christi and landed at this time establishment. Thank you for the great service. Sorry we started the food and remember the pictures after the facts and after a few drinks...😁😁

I came here to treat myself to a small birthday lunch and this was such an incredible option!! The food is incredible, well crafted and handmade in shop. I got the shrimp fresco, beef kebab and the chocolate churro cake — all highly recommended! Portions are great for cost, and for such a gorgeous menu, atmosphere and staff, the prices are incredibly reasonable. Specific shoutout for my serger Paulina — she was so wonderful, and helped make my day a little more special! The chef personally delivered the cake ( with a candle for my birthday! ). I unfortunately don’t live in the area but I absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting or local — I can’t say enough wonderful things about my visit ☺️☺️☺️

This energy was WONDERFUL!!! The entire staff was very attentive and respectful. We had a very talented and knowledgeable bartender named Ryder! The manger Monica came by and checked on us multiple times to ensure everything was wonderful!!

The atmosphere is so welcoming and amazing Ariana was awesome and was extremely attentive even though I sat at the bar, and made sure Rider didn’t mess up my order! Will definitely be coming back!

Cocktails were great, vibes were there, and service was quick and knowledgeable. Our Waiter Savage was very helpful in his recommendations. I ordered the duck and in my humble opinion, the entree could have been stronger. While cooked nicely within, the skin and fat wasn’t very rendered and I could have used a nicer texture on that. I don’t believe it was clear that there would be lavender as a garnish, and the blueberry sauce was lost under it. The mushroom app could use a lot more zip and possibly salt (allepo and citrus zest?) but the fried green tomatoes were on point. Overall a solid experience, I’ll be back to check out more on the menu.

Excellent staff; They are very nice and attentive to customers. They have such an excellent variety of great grocery items in stock always and there is a wonderful Hot Foods/Hot Dog areas (there are several), clean restrooms, gas pumps are all well maintained, great Beers/Wines selections at normal prices and many, many snacks available. Excellent for travelers on their foods, beverages and gasoline fill-ups at the very end of Interstate 37 at Shoreline Boulevard in Corpus Christi, Texas. Enjoy!

Girl snatched the money out my hand Other girl walks off when there's a line of customers. Very rude and bad experience. Needs better customer service remember this is a tourist town. We want to welcome people not scare them away.

I love Nancy, I’ve been going in every night before work for about a month now and she has always been so nice and welcoming to Stripes. I’ve even realized every-time I go in the ladies restrooms are so clean and smells good compared to the time she’s not scheduled. Overall love her

I think they got me for some gas last time I was here, the pump was faulty and I had to keep pressing the thing to get a minuscule amount in my tank, but the fact that I was able to leave with some ranch dressing tonight and the same guy on duty that was working when I had my gas problem happen, was much nicer and working tonight, is why I’m leaving 3 stars. I was really craving ranch on my turkey ciabatta club and was grateful he didn’t make me wait in what seemed like a line because the people in front of me were the Brady bunch. In a very cool car too. Thanxxxxxxxx

This place is very shady, try to avoid this location, there are several homeless people roaming around. I went there around 7 in night and had to encounter couple of guys trying to damage my vehicle. Simply avoid the gas station

630 on a friday night the food attendant says she is "done with dinner" but I can wait for chicken strips if I want to. Doesn't have ANY side items available. And what she does have looks like it has been sitting all day. No excuse for lazy employees!

I use to love this place for the tacos. I would even go out of my way just to get one from this location. However today, the woman who was working at the counter was one of the rudest person I have ever had to deal with. After trying to get her attention so I could give my order for at least 3-4 minutes while she played with her hair and talked and giggled with the other employees, she finally acknowledged me. When I started my order she told me I had to order- then pointed to her left, where no one was standing let alone working. She pointed to the wall, not even near where the counter was. I told her where is the sign to order? She said you’ll have to figure that out yourself. We left after I told her I didn’t have the stomach for what she was serving. As I was leaving I saw her wait on a man while she flipped her hair and giggled. I wish I could give this place negative stars.

I love supporting a business that align with my personal values to be kind, friendly, love others as Christ loves us. The jazz music playing/atmosphere is always pleasant from the moment you walk into the restaurant and throughout the whole dining experience. I have tried various meals, for brunch, lunch and dinner. All my choices have been delicous. My favorite meal is the chicken & waffles and lavender lemonade. The owners Joseph & Katina greet every customer along with their excellent wait & cook staff. They treat you like family. I wish them abundant blessings in our community and be a success black/veteran owned business that brings joy to everyone who walks through the door. ♥️

PKK Southern Cuisine is a Southern treasure. Walking in felt like stepping into a Sunday church homecoming in the South—history on the walls, warmth in the air, and a family atmosphere so genuine you almost forget you’re in a restaurant. The food? 🔥 Phenomenal. Fried chicken so perfectly seasoned and crispy it pulled apart like butter. Sides that tasted like they’d been cooked with patience and love—collard greens, candied yams, and cornbread that reminded me of family dinners growing up. And those fried mac-and-cheese bites? Golden, crunchy perfection with creamy magic inside. The drinks? 💜 Their house-made lemonades are something special. Each one layered, vibrant, and refreshing. The kind of drink that makes you pause mid-sip and smile. The service? Warm, kind, and attentive. No rushing, no pretense—just the kind of care that’s becoming rare these days. This isn’t fast food, and it’s not meant to be. It’s food with soul, history, and a sense of belonging. Come here ready to sit, savor, and enjoy being part of something bigger than a meal. *Adding photos because this food deserves to be seen—not just described. If you’re craving real Southern hospitality and food that feels like home, go. And go hungry.

This restaurant is an upgrade of Lubys. I tried one of the Tuesday menu items, meatloaf and it was flavorless. I tried to find the flavor in the meatloaf and it was non-existent, mash potatoes were eh, and the rice with gravy was okay. White rice with gravy is easy to cook🙃. Food not worth the price paid. And the hostess just pointed to our seats instead of walking us to the table. If you all want to learn how to cook a great tasting meatloaf let me know Try better if it's even possible...✌️ FYI...these folks leaving positive reviews probably do know how to cook if they did know how to cook their reviews would be different...

Found another restaurant that I was looking for that 6th star. This place is amazing. The Was excellent but where they really shine is the people. The hostess was so friendly. The owner came around and greated everyone. If you want a successful business come learn from these folks.

Incredible meal! So delicious. Had the fish with yams and greens. 🤩 couldn’t tell you what was best it was all soooooo good! Came for the jazz- which was magnificent- stayed for the food! 😋

We are new to corpus and stop end at PKK for some dinner I had the oxtails with greens and yams the wife had fried chicken with green. we also had the pot stickers and OMG they the best they have live jazz 1st Friday of the month

Finally made it here.Why did i wait so long? What a great restaurant. And the best thing besides the food is watching the heart and soul of the restaurant working besides the employees. You don't see that anymore with chain joints.Owners that care. Love this place
