Ambiance is laid back Service is good considering they take your order when you get in Food was ok. Not the greatest but not the worst. Hush puppies weren't great. The chicken fried steak kinda lacked flavor. Shrimp was ok as well as the chicken tenders. Over all ok I dont really see us going back though. read more

Ate here yesterday in the food was far from great. The special was a sirloin steak with shrimp and two sides. Baked potato was OK but got a cream of chicken soup as one of my sides . Soup was bland tasted like chunks of chicken and raw flour with no flavoring in the thick soup custard like texture. The steak was thin and long and dried out after a quick sear on the grill. Fried shrimp was decent and the best part of the meal. No has slipped in quality over the years. Very sad for such an institution of the city. read more

Nolan's is a Corpus institution serving a broad menu of American comfort food that most will find both appealing and appetizing. They have a few locations scattered around the city. They boast that they have the best chicken fried steak in town - wouldn't know because I've never tried it. Their steaks, on the other hand, are pretty good considering their prices. Service is good. Inside is casual, comfortable and quite roomy. Super easy and convenient choice if you're on this side of Corpus. read more

Very clean restaurant. You order at a counter. The service was fast. We got the fried shrimp with fried okra and mashed potatoes and the chicken fried steak with green beans and mashed potatoes. Food was served hot. Vegetables were a little bland, but there is salt and pepper on every table. Highly recommend for a good casual meal out. read more

Nolan's is a good spot to come to if you want a good meal. Not super fancy, but they will always provide a good meal. Ordered catfish strips, which were delicious but the portion was somewhat small for an order. The potato salad was delicious. The service was excellent and very helpful. Low noise, and somewhat dim. Looking forward to coming by again for a good visit. read more

Chicken fried steak grossly over cooked. Crust hard as a rock and meat inside burnt black! Terrible yeast roll and fried okra extra greasy. Only reason they got two stars is because the pinto beans were pretty good. read more

Nolan's Restaurant - Terrible chicken fried steak! - Seafood Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Grilled chicken breast was pretty bad. Dried out and the pineapple on it probably came from a can? Had a weird taste to it. Not sure if Mashed potatoes were 100% either? Maybe part instant?? Certainly not worth the $15. read more

Food comes out very fast. Shrimp were plump and fried well. Baked potato must have been left over from lunch...it was over cooked... and did not taste good. read more

Consistently good food and service. It's not fine dining by any means but I can always count on a good, solid, fresh, hot, tasty meal. The menu is limited which I think is a good thing. That way they can concentrate on cooking what they know and do best. I like the chicken fried steak, fried catfish, and the BBQ Poorboys but my favorite is the shrimp plate. The shrimp are fresh not Cisco. They are plump enough to actually bite through without a ton of breading. You know you are eating shrimp. My favorite sides are fried okra and potato salad. Their side salad is wilted some times. For dessert their homemade cake slices are good. They are tall but thin which is fine because they are so rich. With the sad state of shrimp in this town and seafood in general, Nolan's is actually the best there is. If I want excellent, have extra cash, and am up to a road trip, I go to King's Inn. read more

Chicken fried steak was nowhere near being the best as described by the establishment. Very very tough. The brisket plate was just a small amount of brisket with an overload of potato salad and some brown looking coleslaw to help make the portion look bigger. The brisket had no flavor at all. Never again for overpriced food. read more

Very efficient and friendly. Enjoy the quality of their seafood (catfish and shrimp). Mac and cheese is always a must have side too.

The shrimp was VERY NICE. I LOVE the hush puppies. I haven't found any that I really enjoyed since I was a little girl (4 years old). They broccoli not so much. Not seasoning at all. The baked potatoes was nice. Fully loaded was bacon and cheese, they'll give you sour cream. read more

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was nice and clean and looked well kept. The food was pretty good I had the Chicken fried steak and my wife had the fried shrimp. She said it was the best shrimp she has had in Corpus. The menu was not very large but covered the based for most everyone. The food was solid overall but nothing over the top. Nolan's will stay on our radar for places to go when we visit Corpus. read more

Pretty good food, had the Chicken Fried Steak. Now it was good, the gravy was a a bit disappointing. Not sure what type of gravy it was but it sure wasn't a southern gravy. The side were also good and filling. Had a coconut cake for desert. Left there full for sure. The waitstaff was phenomenal. read more

Love this place, food is sooooo good. Always very very kind service. One of my new favorite spots. :)

Amazing FOOD AND SERVICE!! My husband got a chicken fried steak with mash potatoes and fried okra... i got an 8oz steak cooked medium with mash potatoes and green beans and my sister got a Country Boy sandwich with fries and brisket bit beans! Needless to say, Neither of us left anything on the plate. Everything was SO DELICIOUS and literally cooked to perfection! Also, Thank you for social distancing and for being so sanitary!! GREAT FOOD, SERVICE, and Prices!! read more

Great chicken fried steak. Service was great. I come here out of town just to eat here. Great place. I would recommend it very much. They have multiple locations. My son had grilled cheese and it was great also. read more

The food is consistent and all homemade. I had the Catfish which was delicious. My sides were corn on the cob and French fries. They could maybe give a few more fries but I didn't come out feeling over stuffed. The staff are super nice and helpful. They come and check on you to make sure you have all you need. I'm from San Antonio and go to Nolan's almost every visit I come into town. read more

I had their fried shrimp with a side of mashed potatoes and corn on the cob. It, also, comes with hush puppies. They gave me both brown and white gravy as I didn't know which I'd like more. They originally gave me 5 shrimp, and the gentleman that brought my food realized that I was supposed to have been given 6 and brought me the last one. The shrimp was fresh and perfectly done. The hush puppies were a little doughy in the center. The potatoes were cold. The brown gravy tasted like it was just beef broth. The white gravy was ok but needed a little salt and pepper. The corn on the cob was cold. read more

Nolan's Restaurant - Dinner - Seafood Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

There is handicap parking out front, but inside the Restaurant there is no consideration for a person with disabilities! My husband got in line to order for me, and due to a sever spine problem and using a cane, I went to sit down in a booth. A waitress told me I could not sit down and was terribly rude. I tried to explain that my husband was in line and I could not stand. A man then came over and really got rude. He said that the tables and booths were for the people in line and that I could just sit on the hard bench and wait. I told him I was very upset and we would just leave. He yelled and told me to leave. We left and went to Jason's Deli where we were treated very courteously. read more

Nolan's used to be my child hood restaurant it was right around the block from my mom and dad's house and always was delicious. But last night I was so disappointed. I ordered a to go order and when I picked it up I checked my order the order was all wrong. But they had already charged my credit card so they voided that transaction. Fix the order charge my credit card again. And I guess because of the wait staff the lack of knowledge of be able to work their own point of sale. They wanted to run my credit card for the third time. After 20 minutes I was all out of patience I will never go back to Nolans ever again. read more

Just left Nolan's and I ordered a cheeseburger worth $9 bucks and when I cut it in half it was medium rare. Not my kind of burger, since I asked for well done. Besides that I let them know and and handed it back. Once they cooked the burger to well done I received half of the burger only!! UNBELIEVABLE! read more

Quality food, quality service !! Their 8 Oz steak is delicious! The cakes are Awesome. Cheese Mac was the best! Very spacious and lots of parking! Affordable read more

Food was great but took a lot longer than expected . I will be back again hopefully get my food faster that's all I got to say

I ordered the shrimp plate with Mac and cheese, and a loaded bake potato. Everything was great and the tartar sauce along with the cocktail sauce was very tasty. This was for carry out due to the corvid-19 lockdown. read more

Best of the best???? Not even close. Ordered the chicken fried steak (very greasy) had to blot it with paper towels. The bread was so hard it was not edible, Will never return ...save your money. read more

Service was horrible , I went to your restaurant for dinner and were treated very poorly by your staff I got the name of the young lady Frieda , she was rounding staff up to lie on her behalf about being out of food. She ignored my husband when he asked her for butter so ok no big deal I got up and brought it to him. But I decided to try and place a to go order for my daughter and all of the sudden they are out of sides. She personally brought out the food and then said we ran out of rolls and would have to wait 5 minutes, So I said we can wait. After the five minutes she asked me to wait I got up once again and her and another girl at the counter said oh she's coming , I heard her. She then took the entire basket of rolls to the back. So she hid them under her shirt and took them to a table in the back as I approached she stared at me awkwardly for a bit before coming back buttering one of the rolls she hid and wrapping it in foil. Then proceeded to chuckle with the lady who told her to hide them. Very unprofessional behavior. Disgusting, I am reaching out to you in hopes that you learn what your staff is doing to customers. read more

I've been to this place at least a dozen times. Seriously the best chicken fried steak in town. Battered, not rubbed. Their tea is great as well, not super sweet like some places. I would give this place 5 stars if not for the rudeness of an employee on my last visit. They expected me to wait in a line of no less than 8 groups, who were not social distancing, to pick up a phone order that was already ready for pickup. All of my dine-in experiences were great, but my one and only to-go order was a poor experience read more

Great food and service. The restaurant was very spacious. Highly recommend and going back when we go back to corpus

The Chicken Fried Steak was excellent. The portion was big and they gave the option to order a double portion (which my husband did). The mashed potatoes were creamy and tasted homemade. read more

WOW! We had an amazing dinner and experience at Nolan's this past Friday night. Kevin and his wife could not have been more welcoming to my family and it made our evening so memorable. We told them we would see them the same time next year, during our annual trip to the beach vault in PA. (We had dined at another one of their locations during the height of Covid the previous year.) However, our night was so memorable, that after a full day at the beach, we went back Saturday night and took our friends. Once again, Kevin and Claire made us feel so welcomed and special. My son had the double chicken fried steak with two kinds of potatoes both nights. We also had salmon, talapia, steak, chopped steak, and grilled chicken. We all cleaned our plates (except the kids did not eat their veggies) and although we were so full, we had cake both nights. The homemade cake is DELICIOUS!!!! All four kinds...chocolate, carrot, lemon and strawberry. We even took some home. We can't wait to return to Nolan's! read more

This restaurant is the best restaurant I've eaten at in Corpus Christi for home cooked style meals. The chicken fried steak was voted Best of The Best and it definitely deserves that name. The strawberry cake is the best I've ever had. I cannot say enough good things! read more

I've had mixed experiences here, and they are largely based on what I order. I ordered chicken fried steak and they managed to do a decent job. I ordered a sirloin and it was tough and came with a hilarious looking garnish consisting of a random slice of tomato and a peace of lettuce. I can imagine Gordon Ramsay's reaction to the toughness of the meat to the bewilderment of how out of place the "garnish" looks on the plate. This place is ok, but nothing to write home about. read more

The food is great, my shrimps were delicious. but they only give you one piece of catfish. I know prices are going up everywhere for everything but to pay almost $12 for 1/2 a of catfish is crazy. They only give you 1 pieces of catfish. SHM read more

Had to comment as my family and I hav always enjoyed our meals from Nolans. Needed to order as take out last nite from the Yorktown/Staples location. I was truly shockd at how burnt the chick fried steak was and how under-baked the potato was. This was a 1st for us so it may have jus been the crew who workd yestrday evening, but this was really bad! Take out will not be an option for us anymore. read more
