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 ate there for the first time last Friday night. We almost decided to go somewhere else because of how crowded it was. I am sure glad we didn't. The ocean view was gorgeous, the music (Jerry Wade) was a perfect blend of the best songs. We ordered shrimp cocktail and loaded fries as appetizers. The shrimp was the freshest I have ever had. It was so awesome! I ordered the seafood salad, the seared ahi was perfectly spiced and cooked. Unfortunately, we are out of towners or else we'd be there regularly. ❤️“

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

“Chef Michael and I were honored to be on the preview invite. They have done an amazing job with food, ambience, and staff. Cheers mates“

“This is our favorite breakfast restaurant. The food is outstanding especially my favorite, crab cake benedict. My husband had the grits with sausage and pecans and he loved it. Shelli, our waitress was wonderful, thorough and fun!“

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

“Food was decent - burgers and sandwiches are massive.

The counter service was the standout - very friendly and accommodating.

This is a place where you order at the front, get a buzzer, self-serve drinks and condiments, and then pick up your food at the counter once your buzzer goes off.

Atmosphere is very pub-like - loud music, but a good mix.

Overall, a good place to try while visiting Padre Island.“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

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

“☆☆☆☆☆☆
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.“

“This place is always a solid time. Great live music, and strong drinks.“
