“Wow- great casual atmosphere with amazing service from a team of dedicated folks that seem to care about everyone. On the water, breezy, live music, super cocktails, and delicious food. Everyone seemed to be treated like a VIP. Truly a great EXPERIENCE and the experiences in life matter!“

“It was our first time going here and the food was delicious and the staff were so nice. I would recommend to anyone, especially first time visitors!“

“Great seafood and crystal was an excellent waitress“

“Delicious tuna cooked perfectly. Tasty sweet chili dressing.“

“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! ❤️“

“My first time coming to Corpus Christi, Texas I was looking for a nice place to have dinner. I saw U & I Steak and Seafood online and saw some really great food . I called and spoke with Tori. She was very sweet. The food was OMG delicious! Everything was so good and the atmosphere was perfect. I love it. U & I deserves a 10 Star ⭐️ for great service and great food.“

“Great place to have a good time and eat“

“We were told when we got there that it would be a 30 minute wait, it turned into an hour before we got a table. We got drinks that the bar, took 20 minutes and that is if the bartender acknowledged you in the first place. When we got to our table it took us another hour and a half to get our food. We were a party of 10 with 3 kids. We got their at 6, did not get our food until almost 845 and when we did get our food it was dry and cold. My salmon was not good. It wasn't that busy. Everyone around us was getting fed and leaving and people who got there after us. We asked the waitress multiple times how long it would be. Everytime she said she was coming back that was another 20 mins before we saw her again. My son was in tears, he was so hungry. We wanted a nice night out with our families. We should have just went to a pizza place.“

“Very good food, outstanding waitstaff and management. You gotta try the Mai Tai. So different but so very good. We have been numerous times and always have a great experience. Can’t wait to our next trip.“

“Everything was delicious!!“

“definitely recommend food was so good !“

“Impromptu date night and dinner did not disappoint! Sautéed crab stuffed redfish, rice, veggies and the best wedge salad! Food was great but the service CJ provided made it even better! Def recommend him as your server if you come in! I know we will!!!“

“Great live music and food! Will be back!“

“If you’re a fan of hush puppies! Catfish Charlie’s has the best in town! Oh and the catfish is delicious too! But you also have to have their in house made gumbo! It’s to die for! They don’t have a bad dish on the menu! Try them once, and I promise you’ll be back again!“

“was so good. will def come back!!! i wanted to try the whole menu.“

“We have been multiple times, and the food is always great. Tonight everything looked and tasted SUPER EXCELLENT! Cathy's Boutique always has amazing finds, and the tour boats provide a memorable experience for individuals and families or friends. There are so many wonderful team members -- from the hosts and waitstaff, to the chefs and bussers working behind the scenes. (and don't forget about the amazing food available in the Mariner, up the stairs from the Boutique)“

“This restaurant is a favorite of mine for Cajun food in Corpus Christ! I have been twice in the last week and am craving the food again this Monday. Ate at my first RAZOO'S in Arlington, Texas 20 years back, and the food is just a good today as then. Also, the service is great! Our server, Alexis U was great and enjoyable to talk too. A great place to EAT!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 9/10 We were invited by the mgmt to dine in and experience what looked to be a refreshed take on the restaurant — and it did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and attentive, and the food? Absolutely outstanding. Flavorful, well-presented, and the portion sizes were way beyond what we expected. It’s clear the team is putting in serious effort to turn things around and make a strong impression. If I had one small piece of feedback, it would be to consider adding a few more servers or lightening the table load a bit — our server did an amazing job, but was definitely stretched thin. Overall, a fantastic experience and a spot we’ll gladly return to. Hats off to the team for taking charge and setting the tone right.“

“We were on vacation when the Surfing Crab was recommended to us for great seafood meal. We went on our second night of vacation. We decided on the snow crab and shrimp which came with corn, potatoes and sausage with the Surfing Crab house seasoning. It was delicious. Our waitress answered every question we had and was very attentive. The manager came around twice and the assistant manager came around once to talk and check on us. I spilt my drink and even the clean up crew was there immediately and were very polite. We highly recommend and if we are ever back in town we will surely eat there again.“

“We spend our 21st Anniversary here but will be back! What a view and fresh fish/seafood entrees can't be beat. Make sure you pay attention to the daily specials and make a reservation in advance!! Highly recommend!!!“

“Great food! prepared the way we asked and served fresh!!“

“Great tasting seafood! It's always fresh. They have a huge menu and awesome service.“

“the food is always good but this waitress we had today charity. was not good at all we had to keep flagging her down even for water. never asked us if we needed anything else. -1 star :/“

“First time here and the food was delicious! Did not disappoint! $5.95 for small shrimp cocktail that was loaded with shrimp, the fish and shrimp ceviche tostadas…so yummy! We ordered the mojarra which was crispy on the outside and so juicy on the inside. Also, the fish soup was amazing! Service was great too!“

“3.7/5 Nothing special. Just your usual slightly above average restaurant. If you're visiting CC or in the area, I see no reason why to not go if you're able to.

The fried chicken burger was good
Will I go again? Maybe... really just depends...

Prices are also fair.“

“Don't let the size or the area fool you, the shrimp cocktail was on point. One of the best places in CC that I've had in my opinion. Love how they added fresh chopped jalapeño on the side so I could spice it up to my liking. Absolutely nothing bad to say about this establishment. Plan to return in the near future as a regular when I'm craving a SC. Also, I tried their hot sauce for the first time and maaaaannnnnn they need to sell that in stores!!!! Freaking A1!!!! We plan to ask if they sell it by the bottle lol. Must ask about it if you like spicy stuff.“

“Good experience overall. The food was good and service too, despite a little slow at times. There wasn’t any wait so we were able to sit as soon as we walked in, and parking wasn’t a problem either. Space could have been a bit tidier and flies dealt with but nothing too concerning.“

“This place is amazing! The atmosphere is very modern and casual, the staff is super friendly, and the food was amazing! The Tidal Wave roll is my favorite, definitely worth checking out!“

“Food and atmosphere were a fun vibe. Shelby our server was great!“

“First time coming here and it was amazing the rolls were delicious and our waiter Core was on another level his recommendations were on point definitely coming back 😊“

“It's Always Good 🔥you won't be disappointed.“

“Great food, service was awesome. Would definitely come back if we visit again. 👍“

“Forgot to take a photo of my dish because once I started eating it was to good to stop eating😂

I ordered the red fish pontchartrain and it was outstanding. Great sauce, topped with shrimp and crawfish tails. The wife got the Mahi sandwich and said it was delicious.
Our server Juan was great and took great care of us.
Next time we’re in town this will be our go to spot!“

“Figured I'd have a light meal and go with the Nachos. Not a chance, plate was huge and delicious and I simply opted for the seasoned ground beef. I unapologetically indulged! My buddy had the Fiesta platter and WOW, he said it tasted amazing also. Would HIGHLY recommend!! Oh yeah, I tried out the churro just because I WAS indulging, it was definitely a proper churro.“

“The Wings SLAP, the METERORITE CHICKEN HITS SO HARD. Try Today!!!“

“A delicious, unassuming and family firendly place. The tuna nachos on wanton tortillas are fantastic and the rest of the menu is just as good. If you're lucky you'll be there on a day they've got the boudin cornbread special.“

“We go there every time we come to the coast and they never disappoint. This was our first time at the new location. The food is always delicious. We don’t usually get dessert, but this time we tried the coconut cheesecake and OMG! I am a cheesecake snob, and let me tell you it was so delicious it had me contemplating licking the plate. We had to order another piece to go. We had to return a couple of days later for dessert so I could meet the manager, Susan who makes the desserts herself. I tried to coax the recipe from her, and got some hints, but she just makes it up on her own. I have a new baker friend but Island Italian has been our favorite for years and will be for years to come.“

“My go to for BOGO flounder tacos on Tuesday! Always a good vibe, good music, friendly staff. Free pool table. Come early. 🫶🏻👍🏼“

“Great place, good prices, great taste. The carne guisada tacos are really good. Great customer service. Come here a lot they never disappoint.“

“Awesome shrimp cocktail!!“

“You had some issues tonight. I ordered for pickup and was told to “come on”. Got in line, paid, and was told to park, and they’d bring it out. Text arrived saying it was done. 5....10.....15 minutes later, no food. Went inside and it was sitting there......cold. I don’t like having to reheat shrimp. My last trip was NAILS. Drove up, paid, hot food in my hands, and go!“

“Very friendly down home atmosphere, staff was attentive & owner was hands on. Food was slap your momma delicious. Will definitely be back.“

“What a pleasant surprise! I am not an expert on Peruvian cuisine, but my wife is from Lima. We have eaten in various Peruvian restaurants in San Antonio and Houston for years. Costa Sur blows them all away. First time I have ever heard Claudia rave about how good the food was in a Peruvian restaurant in America. Of course I was too busy wolfing down the excellent ceviche mixto and the wonderful pescado a la panca to hear everything she said, but when she said "We're definitely coming back" I knew we had found a gem.“

“Everything that I had including the price and the service is 5 star for me. It’s taken a spot in my top 10 list in Corpus!!!“

“Our go to restaurant since the 80’s. Fantastic food best service you’ll find anywhere.“

“I absolutely loved it was sooo delicious and juicy marinated orgasmic they improved so much I definetly will go again ! By far met our expectations above and beyond“

“Muy buena atención y la calidad del lugar es excelente, instalaciones, comida y bebida. Tiene un ambiente agradable“
