New American Restaurants in Corpus Christi, TX

“Portis Kountry Kitchen is hands-down one of the best spots for true Southern comfort food. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and fried to golden perfection—crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The meatloaf was absolutely amazing—tender, flavorful, and smothered in just the right amount of sauce. Every bite felt like it was made with love. If you’re looking for a place that feels like home cooking, this is it. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Listen, this is legitimately one of the best seafood spots in town. Top 2 best bread pudding I’ve ever had (best in corpus, so far!), and that’s because I took it home and snagged a bite (or 3) before I put it in the fridge. I’ve never been disappointed eating here, and the prices are incredibly reasonable! I remember when they were at their old location, and it was just as delicious. Don’t sleep on this place if you want some quality seafood with multiple choices of fish. They even seasoned the perfectly cooked asparagus. The little details show that they care. Y’all keep killing it in the kitchen! ❤️“

“We were here the week before Labor Day last year, in 2024. It was our 1st time in Corpus Christi and we just happened to see it from the bridge and decided to try it out. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the view was amazing! Out of all the restaurants we tried while we were there, Doc’s had the best food! We fell in love with Corpus Christi and Doc’s is definitely on our to do list the next time we come back!“

“Found this place by accident with my family of 4 ... and let me tell you the prices had me when you walked in but as soon as I saw my food ... and tasted it ... it was definitely worth the price ... I'm from Sandia and would drive this way to eat here again ... the staff was so friendly and the restaurant was clean and organized... 10/10 recommend“

“Fantastic Angus Burger - and well priced too. The Fries were PERFECT; hot, thick and spiced just right. I can’t believe this place wasn’t packed; it’s right on the Gulf in the Holiday Inn. Lupita was an excellent server too! I’ll be back!!“

“☆☆☆☆☆☆
Here today; gone TAMALE! Best tamales in town (so far). These sell out fast prior to holidays, especially Christmas. Regular pork are our favorites. Spicy are too hot. Just the perfect balance of masa & meat filling. Only tamales sold here (not a restaurant) & priced right. Sold by the dozen for pick up only.“

“Love stopping in here for carne guisada and breakfast tacos every time I come back to Corpus Christi. The food is just the best!!!! And the family atmosphere makes it great for getting together with folks I haven't seen in a while. And your coffee cup is always refilled in a timely manor.“

“Cauliflower steaks, mushroom appetiser, lavender haze drink minus the vodka“

“I recommend any taquito but especially chicharrones and mollejas!!!! Out of this world!!!! Thank y'all for making my day!!!! ????“
