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!“

“I flew into town for a week and pre ordered meals to avoid fast food places while in town and I’m very happy I did!!! Chef Tony absolutely killed it everything I ordered was delicious and I ate like a king in my hotel room all week for much cheaper than going out to eat everyday. 100% will be ordering again the next time I’m in town!!“

“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!“

“Madi, our server, made my daughter’s 21st bday one to remember. My family and I had a blast. I definitely recommend!!“

“Food was great! Burgers cooked to perfection, juicy but not greasy. Very filling!! Fresh ingredients, good quality lettuce, tomato, avocado etc, sauces were amazing! Fries were crisp and fresh! Presentation was nice. Service was quick, place was fairly clean. Prices are reasonable. Some bird and bug annoyance if you choose to sit outside. Really enjoyed dining at this place!!“

“It was so good and every member of the staff was so sweet,helpful and fast. Never have had a bad time here! I’m a picky eater and everytime I try something new here it’s so amazing and I never regret it! & the portions are enough to fill you up! #chopsandeggs #buzzybooth“

“feels like your at a friend's house for lunch ☺“

“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!!“

“Fair warning, if you ask for an unsweetened Tea they will not bring a spoon to mix anything you'll add to it (so I used the knife). The tea was nothing too special. The salsa's were good and the Carne Guisada wasn't to go out of your way for. But the one thing I didn't take a picture of was the Street Tacos, which came with beans. Thlse tacos are worth trying from here.“

“☆☆☆☆☆☆
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.“

“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!!!! ????“
