25 minutes waiting with our table like this

Came to Goliad for monthly Market Day and found this place walking by. It was 11:40 when we entered and there were only two occupied tables in the front room, and two occupied in the back room. The wait staff was friendly and told us to sit anywhere. Starting off, our waitress was attentive, though not well informed. She had to ask what kind of fish is used in the fish tacos and had trouble describing the specialty drinks. Once ordered, or drinks arrived quickly. We tried the quail jalapeno poppers appetizer which also came out very quickly. They were delicious and highly recommended. Our waitress came back for our main order, but we asked for 5 five more minutes as we were still eating the poppers and perusing the menu. By this time it was almost noon. Hungry patrons were streaming in and the wait staff quickly became overwhelmed. As the restaurant filled to capacity, our waitress didn't get back to us for 25 minutes, even though we signaled numerous times for her attention. We sat with the dirty empty plates and drink glasses on our table the whole time. We reordered our 2nd round of drinks at the bar ourselves. Finally, after multiple times of giving us her raised index finger to indicate "just a minute" our waitress took our order for fish tacos and pork sliders. Amazingly, the food arrived very quickly. The kitchen was on top of it, the wait staff was simply overwhelmed by the crowd. The table next to us waited over 15 minutes for their check. Then their table was left uncleaned for over 10 minutes. As for the food- meh. The tacos lacked flavor and the sliders were just average, neither worth the wait. One star for the reasonably priced cocktails and one for the speed of the bar and kitchen- if you can get your order in. Shame on management for not planning adequate staff during the lunch rush, especially on Market Day Saturday. To their credit, all of the harried wait staff remained courteous and apologetic, in spite of their situation.

Sampler: tempura shrimp, cuban cigar wraps and asian shrimp wraps w/ sauces. Brisket sandwich with waffle fries. Grilled chicken nachos. YUM

We were a party of 6 coming from 3 different locations a few hours from each other. The Pumphouse…read morewas the perfect spot to meet up! Started outside on the BEAUTIFUL patio overlooking the Guadalupe River. The ambiance itself is world class! We had a drink outside as the day was beautiful and then went inside to dine. We ordered the Mac/cheese bacon wrapped bites as an appetizer and to be honest...I could've eaten all 6 myself! They were delicious! One person in our group ordered grill chicken and vegetables...I noticed his plate was cleaned! My husband ordered a hamburger and kettle chips...said it was great and we stole some of his chips and they were GOOD! The rest of us had salads and they all were fabulous (I also added fried shrimp to my salad and they were huge and good!) Our waiter was a young man named Ethan. He was absolutely brilliant! He didn't miss a beat with our crowd and that's saying ALOT! He was also extremely gracious and so professional!!! I asked if he could take a few photos of our group....he said of course and the photos were great! We all had a fantastic time in beautiful surroundings with delicious food and with top notch service! Who could ask for more?! 5/5 stars with extra stars for Ethan!

Definitely a ladies who lunch type of place and with that the service, though lovely was slow but for a lot of the guests, it probably lends to a leisurely lunch experience. Food was very impressive - their fried pickle dip is absolutely delicious!! Loved it and will have to try and find a way to replicate it with a lighter version - it's a must have if you like pickles. Then enjoyed the fish tacos that were so good! Blackened Mahi Mahi that was cooled perfectly and a delicious spicy cabbage slaw!! Fantastic! Definitely worth seeking out this unexpected gem in Victoria.

Right off the bat, I have to say, probably the best burger I've had in Port Aransas and all the…read moretrips we've made here. This is one of those places where you walk in, stand in line, place your order and go find a seat. When your order is ready, they'll bring it out to your table. Staff is very friendly and the evening we went, there were three or four young men that were taking food to the tables and clearing tables and they were all very friendly and helpful. We went on a Saturday night, and there was a good flow of people in and out the entire time we were there. We didn't have a hard time finding a table initially, but the place filled up quickly. But there are five or six other restaurants within a block to two blocks around this place, so there was a lot of foot traffic and a lot of people eating out in that area. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger and I have to tell you that is one of the most amazing burgers I have had in the last few years. Amazing! The burger was cooked perfectly and had several strips of crispy bacon, melty cheese, lettuce, pickle, tomato, and red onion, and the meat was seasoned perfectly. I got the fries, and they were crispy seasoned well and extremely tasty. I told my wife as we were sitting there eating that this place was definitely on our list of eating establishments the next time we were in Port A, and you can bet we will be down there for another burger.

After searching for what felt like forever to find a highly recommended spot -- even Port A Escapes…read morelisted this place as a must‑try -- we decided to give it a shot. I've traveled all over the world and up and down the U.S. coastline, and I understand beach‑town dining can be hit or miss. But this experience left us genuinely confused about the glowing reviews. We walked into a tiny establishment where the bar was fully staffed and drinks were flowing, yet we couldn't even get served food. Alcohol seemed ready to go, but the kitchen was moving at a pace that made no sense. We were told food would take over an hour. For a place this small, that's baffling. It made me wonder if the rave reviews were written through "vacation goggles" -- sunburned, tired, or a few drinks in -- because from our sober perspective, nothing about the service or setup matched the hype. Maybe the "excellent" part of the name refers strictly to the bar, because the grill definitely felt off‑duty. We ended up leaving without ever getting food. Not the experience we were hoping for.

Been here at the adjoining martini bar many times but have only eaten in the restaurant twice…read more First time was for prime rib night when our 10 yr old granddaughter came to visit. She loved her pasta and finished a huge piece of chocolate cake which sadly they don't have anymore. (Boo)! Hubs hands the prime rib and I had the filet and both were great. Second time we had the fish and chips special and the cod was cooked perfectly and was crunchy. Fries were awesome as well. Not only does this place boasts the best fufu martinis in Rockport but their food can't be beat either. We will def be back to try other tasty items on the menu.

We ordered shrimp cocktail for an appetizer and it was good. For dinner I had the flounder and even though the piece was thin, it was cooked perfectly and delicious. Well balanced with just the right amount of spices. My dad ordered his favorite, coconut shrimp, and said it was some of the best he's had (and he's had a lot of coconut shrimp!). The lemon drops were not very flavorful but the wine with dinner was great! The server was knowledgeable and friendly. It was a wonderful way to cele with my family!

The Gold Fish is a shining example of Corpus having and maintaining nice things…read more There is a common misconception that this city cannot have nice things, and that if we do get them, they do not last very long. The Gold Fish has proven this long-held collective pessimism wrong. Originally a cocktail bar only, it has now expanded into a cocktail, beer and wine outdoor/indoor bar, which makes complete sense given the city's demographic demands. It was actually one of the first businesses I was most concerned with us losing permanently during the pandemic. And I am so glad they have stuck around! It is a modern cocktail bar at its core, which makes it very unique to this city. This is an obvious adoption of cocktail bar trends from other larger cities in Texas. It is very nice, with a wide array of adult beverage options for discriminating consumers to chose from. The atmosphere is perfect, and the bartenders and staff are top-notch and super nice (the attitude is refreshing compared to what one may be used to recieving from such establishments in larger cities). I usually only come here when I have company from out-of-town, as I do not go out for drinks very often. At my most recent visit, I had just experienced a personal tragedy that I only briefly alluded to our bartender when she asked how our day was going. The amount of sincere compassion we received was not expected at all. My only regret is that I did not get her name, or else I would have gladly included it in this review.
