Landrys Seafood House - Corpus Christi (TX)

5 /5 Marychase Tsui: My mother and I arrived in Corpus Christi from San Antonio via California for the Selena museums tour, memorial statue, and grave. On the last night tonight we decided to eat at Landry’s Seafood House for some wonderful seafood. When we arrived we were greeted by a nice hostess, and the atmosphere felt cozy and amazing! Our waitress Kristen was an amazing person, and knew exactly all the menu items and had the best recommendations! For us! I ordered the special Almond Crusted Mahi Mahi with avocado, and pico de gallo, freshly made, and it was delicious. My mother ordered the Salmon Melissa, which was also fresh and had amazing flavor. For dessert we tried and key lime pie and the Banana Fritters! Which were to die for! The manager also came by and asked how we loved the food which was courteous and professional. Our waitress Kristen had a great personality and came over to make sure our food got here on time, when in Texas go big I always say! The hospitality and comfort of the Texans is one thing that I am happy for when traveling, where people are kind to one another and enjoy getting to know and communicate with one another on a personal level. It was by far the best southern hospitality, food, location and people that made it a wonderful experience! If you come to Landry’s ask for Kristen she is the best!

5 /5 The Mrs: Excellent service, Kaitlyn was awesome! She gave us suggestions and wow, fire grilled oysters were crazy good! We ordered clam chowder, best Ive ever had, and the salad was fresh and delicious. The snapper had the Melissa topping on it with scallops and shrimp and save room for dessert because they have cinnamon bread pudding with a scoop of ice cream and bananas foster! Highly recommend eating there!

2 /5 B P Robinson: I find it hard to believe that Fertitta signed off on this menu, or at a minimum signed off on someone that’s in charge of this menu. The Landry’s name used to mean something more. Highlighting a trash fish like tilapia as your feature is deplorable. Being on the gulf coast and serving farm raised shrimp and catfish is an abomination to the “seafood” industry. I just couldn’t bring myself to order what I would’ve liked to, so I had the seafood gumbo. I tasted butter, burnt flour, and farm raised shrimp. The seafood pasta my wife had reminded us both of Campbell’s canned noodles mixed with mediocre seafood. She ordered a raspberry lemon drop. It was about 3/4 of what it should’ve been in volume, but a decent mix. The positives, and ONLY REASON I’m not giving this a 1 star rating: the oysters on the 1/2 shell were great, and Vanessa as a server was outstanding. I don’t recommend this place, unless McDonald’s is closed.

5 /5 Dave Newman: Let me first say that Rudy Sr is amazing. We eat out a lot and all over the United States and Rudy has been one of the best waiters we have ever had! He was very attentive and just an amazing person! He walked us through the menu and gave my wife a lesson on cracking Crab. The food was great but the service was even more amazing. Also, thank you for the Anniversary dessert! We really appreciate it. Protect Rudy Sr at all cost!
