    You gotta love folks who give back to the community.

    We were in Corpus Christi for a week long writer's retreat. On our last night, we were going to a seafood restaurant. We could see one out of our window, so we decided to go there. All three of the people we asked about the spot said the same thing - it was okay years ago, but not any longer. They all suggested the same place: Laguna Reef. They were SPOT ON!!! It kind of looks like a "local dive" from the outside -- which I love to try out! We were greeted like old friends. The simple menu had something perfect for both of us. She got the grilled shrimp. You can see how large they were! She could hardly eat them all because of the size. But they were so good she couldn't bear to leave a single bite! And since I do NOT like seafood, I got the chicken fried steak. It was wonderful! Check out the cross section picture for proof this wasn't a mirage. The onion rings were sublime- crunchy yet soft. Shortly after we arrived, the floodgates opened. They went from 3 tables filled, including us, to packed! Every table was filled with happy customers. Given that onslaught, you'd expect service to fall off, but it didn't. At least WE didn't note it. We heard this was "the best seafood place in Corpus Christi," and I believe it!

    Husband order two fish and shrimp combo with fries. I had the 5 shrimp with okra. We also had the calamari as appetizer. Everything was well cooked and had a great flavor. This is a great place to eat! Highly recommend. Wait staff (Casey) was very friendly and helpful.

    Too well done!

    Everything else was good except the hush puppies were too well done. Maybe next time they will be better.

    Great fresh seafood. Mom and dad used to go here two or three times a week before she passed away. Family owned with great staff.

    This is a fairly new bar. Inside is nice. Place doesn't quite know what it wants to be yet. Odd…read moredisco ball in the middle of the place with animals all over the walls. It needs an identity. However, the staff is very friendly, drinks are great, reasonably priced, big TV's. You can't complain about much here except I wish they served some bar food. Other than that it's a good time. I recommend.

    I want to start with saying this is not a review on the establishment itself. It's a review on the…read moreemployees Michaela, Tyler, and Abby. This makes me really sad to have to write as I've been coming here regularly for a while now. I LOVE the flock bar and am honestly just so devastated and appalled at how I was treated there last night (new years eve) by the bartenders working. Michaela, Tyler, and Abby were all completely intoxicated behind the bar. They were trying to serve drinks but were too intoxicated. I was standing quietly with my friend just waiting for their drinks with them at the end of the bar. Michaela then drops off his drinks after taking 30+ minutes to even say a word to us. She gives us the drinks and turns to me and looks me in the eye with so much hate and disrespect & says "oh we hate you here." "You're the most annoying person & you order the most annoying drinks" I just apologized and said I just love the way y'all make my drinks they're always amazing I'm sorry, she then follows that up with "we just hate you here and you're honestly so rude and inconsiderate for ordering those drinks here". For reference, my usual is a French 75. I have given so many people recommendations for this bar solely for how amazing this drink is and the staff. So hearing this was very extremely hurtful. She rolled her eyes and then walks away with nothing but HATE in her eyes for me. I say let's leave to my friends but they wanted to speak to a manager, so we spoke to Tyler. He's sitting there speaking very kindly saying he's so sorry he can't do anything to make it right but he can comp our tabs. He walks away and as he's "comping our tab" he is laughing and hugging and talking about us in the meanest manner to this same bartender (Michaela). Still silent just standing at the end of the bar wanting to leave, Abby then walks over and unprovoked YET AGAIN she turns to me looks me in the eyes and says "we're busy babes" and rolls her eyes and walks into the freezer. Michaela then walks over and drunkenly tells us "we're kicked out" and walks back falling all over. We still are just standing here quietly not saying a word to them like we haven't all night. Tyler comes back with a completely different attitude and says he comped my friends tab. My friend who's tab I would not have even been on if I had ordered, she then tells Tyler that he forgot my boyfriends tab. He then tells us and points at my boyfriend saying "he doesn't matter right now". Tyler is focusing his attention on my friend and not even giving me the time of day, the person who was extremely mistreated unprovoked by him and his staff. He then says "I got the whole story and you're drunk pointing (directly at me) so yall have to leave" .....This was far from the truth and that is a fact because I had zero plans of drinking, and if I did, the bartenders only pay attention to certain people (men) and were taking 30+ min and ignoring my friends at the side of the bar near the patio. So no, I was not drunk, and I didn't even have a tab or try and order a drink what so ever. I asked for the name of an owner or head manager and Tyler refuses to give me and my friends any names what so ever. We leave and that's that. I also want to say that at the beginning of the night my boyfriend did attempt to order a French 75 for myself. While I wasn't with him, Michaela rudely tells him "we're not doing those tonight" as the special of the night is a French 75. She tell proceeds to make French 75 for another man who walked up to the bar right after my boyfriend. She was so drunk she completely lost my friends card and forgot to queue any drinks in so they came up to us and asked what we had while we where trying to leave because she didn't do it at all. They were hurt and offended. This is not her first time treating me and my friends this way and we usually brush it off, but seeing as to how intoxicated she was behind that bar and knowing that's the reason she treated me this way I have to say something about it now. It's a review on the poor staff who should never be in the customer service industry again
