First time eating here. This is the place to go for perfectly cooked fresh seafood in the area. Our order was taken quickly while delicious seasoned saltines were placed on the table. Our friends rave about the oysters, and they even have half-price oysters for happy hour! I asked for a special order (Mahi Mahi cooked like their fresh tuna on the menu w asparagus and Fiesta rice). They cooked it perfectly, and the flavor was amazing. I have no complaints except they up-charged me twice. Will definitely return.
Super friendly service. The Happy Hour sushi deal is terrific. Very delicious. Our waitress was very helpful and sweet. When in town, you have to try this restaurant. Our GPS did not get us there as effectively as we would have liked so be prepared to hunt a little bit for it.
Update: 6 months later we visited again. (Added photos)
Live music was great and not as loud as the last time we visited. TVs all around. Still lively. The food was still tasty. Tried some other options this time. Took a risk and tried the Elvis Presley burger and it did not disappoint. I would recommend giving it a try. It's not as peanut buttery as you would assume and it doesn't taste sweet. Tastes flavorful with a hint of sweetness. Doesn't taste like bananas either... You just got to try it! Onion rings were good. A very light tempura batter. My 12-year-old loved the shrimp scampi.
We ordered the escargot app. You get five of them. The butter garlic sauce is great but the addition of puff pastry on top of each one was unnecessary in my opinion. I actually think it took away from the flavor and the texture that I'm used to with snails.
6 months previous visit review:
Great service & fun (loud) atmosphere. Don't expect the steak to be thick and juicy... It's a seafood joint... But that's what my son wanted to share. The blue cheese dressing tasted like it was made in house and was flavorful, chunky & delicious. The add-on of button mushrooms made the thin steak taste good. Lively place.
There was a wait as it was pretty busy, but I like that they text your phone when your table is ready. This place has good food, variety and a relaxing atmosphere. Our waiter Winston was attentive and gave us good service. The fried asparagus were delicious (I don't even like asparagus and I loved it). The crab stuffed flounder was great, the fried fish and chips were tasty, and the Blackened Chicken Alfredo was good, but the sauce could've used a little more flavor. I had a fried flounder filet with a baked potato and loved it. Overall everything was great from start to finish.
I went for happy hour, best deals on drinks on appetizers. It has a very good local feel, and all that I ate was great. I wanted to try the hot wing challenge but they were out. I had the fish and chips (recommended) Buffalo wings, and coconut shrimp(also recommended), and the margarita. The service was a little slow as it was post lunch I guess. We ordered sushi too, but the wait time for over an hour, so we skipped it. We finished everything that was ordered. Perfect lunch time during hot summers!!!
Took about 45 min to get seated for a table of 6 on a Saturday around 12pm, they did advise about that wait time, so it was expected, my family ordered multiple items, everything was delicious except the seafood Alfredo was a tad salty, and the batter to the cat fish fillet was also a tad salty, but everything else was top notch! Great portions. Our server Irma was the sweetest, thanks for serving us, the Riojas Family ❤️
First our waiter Thomas was super patient and knowledgeable of the menu.
Second the food and drinks were delicious! Clean restaurant and just a relaxed place.
Highly recommend the happy hour!
Great Island restaurant, that will actually cook what you catch locally for a small fee. We ordered fried pickles as a starter. Thin sliced well seasoned batter with a side of homemade ranch. Ours arrived after our meal and they were not as hot as I would have liked but still good. Next up Texas crunchy roll(tempura battered shrimp) and the tarantula roll (soft shelled crab) these were great! Very fresh tasting. Last was firecracker flounder. WOW, this bad boyhas some heat but sooooo good. Really stole the show.
OH MANN!! This place was AMAZING!!
Chef Sam personally wished me a happy birthday and made it an even better night!! The food was awesomeee, the drinks were AMAZINGGG, and don’t even get me started on the Crème Brûlée!!! First time i’ve ever had it, there’s no words to describe how it just melted in my mouth!!😍😍
I can not wait to come back! Thank you again to Chef Sam ( I wish we would have gotten a picture!) and to our awesome server LuLu❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Tionna has a AWESOME attitude and Outstanding customer service!!! The food was great. I tried the Patty melt and it was so delicious. My daughter tried shrimp basket and the shrimp were great. My other daughter tried the blackened chicken sandwich and it was good as well. Seemed like the chicken could've been cooked a little more though. This place has a good atmosphere and prices are not too bad.
Food: Delicious; Service: Excellent; Ambience: Good but not enough space for waiting customers;
The only problem is space. When you get a table close to the door, the customers waiting don’t have enough space, they are right next to you. I don’t want to eat next to someone who is hungry while I’m munching away. Their menu was a newspaper! The service and food was exceptional.
Went here on a friend's suggestion and it was great! We had decided to go there for my husband's birthday dinner. It was pretty busy for a Monday night but we were quickly sat and got some drinks going. Their specialty drinks from the bar were delicious and packed a punch. All the food we ordered was amazing and large in portion size. We had just missed happy hour but our server Derick told us all about it anyway! We loved everything so much and especially the service Derick provided we decided to come out again during happy hour for my husband's actual birthday! You cannot go wrong with 1/2 off appetizers and drinks! Thank you Scuttlebutt's and Derick for making our trip to the coast and of course my husband's birthday even better then it already was! We will definitely be back as our go to spot and with friends.
The food was really good, the server was amazing but it took a long time for the food to come out and I could tell it was sitting in the window a while. But all in all it was a great experience, good drinks, good food, good atmosphere; I would definitely go back. it was probably the best food of all the little joints that we ate at while in corpus.
Never had bad food here! Such a huge menu…great place for everyone, you can always find something for you or the people in ur party! Very chill atmosphere…come dressed up on a date or in boardshorts and flip flops! Highly recommend the scuttlebutts platter…it’s enough food for 2!
I absolutely loved this place. You get soft live music while you eat, pool tables and other video games for the kids, and of couse great food and beer! This place is very popular with the locals so you have to show up early for dinner. Can get crowded after 6pm. People will wait 2 hours for a table.
