    Large chicken fried steak
    Jeremy T.

    I visited this mini-chain restaurant on a recent work trip since I was with my colleague who is picky and only eats American food and it was near our hotel. They have 3 locations in the Corpus area, but this location has the highest yelp reviews. We visited on a weeknight just before closing and they were still pretty busy. The setup is a little different because you order at the counter, but they bring your food and even come to check on you occasionally. I ordered the large cfs since that's one of the dishes they're famous for. The other is their Famous PoBoy sandwich. However neither myself nor my colleague ordered one. The cfs comes with 2 sides and a roll. I chose loaded baked potato and broccoli. They say the steak cutlets are 6oz each, and I removed plenty of breading and still found plenty of meat. The cutlets of cube steak are fairly thick. I enjoyed the cfs; however, I thought the broccoli and baked potato were just average. The dinner roll was pretty basic too and I just ate a couple bites of it. My colleague ordered the catfish and seemed to like his meal. He added a peach cobbler which was served cold and thought it was just okay. He ended up ordering a 2nd peach cobbler at another restaurant in San Antonio the following day which he liked better. Overall. I liked the place, but just for the chicken fried steak and the service.

    Amazing cakes.

    The owner came to our table and made us feel welcomed. The staff went overboard and the food was delicious!!!!!!!! We will go back. It's very casual and reasonably priced.

    This is the famous poor boy. Brisket was super dry. Bland food and okra batter was undercooked.

    Nolan's "Famous Poorboy" nothing famous here.

    Amazing! The Ribs!!!!!…read more Lovely casual or fancy date night. I've been here a few times actually and each time the service is great. Always filling up your glasses, never got an order wrong, and are so accommodating to all requests. I always get the ribs. They literally fall off the bone. They are that tender!

    We arrived early on a tired Tuesday evening and my partner and I were immediately seated, handed…read moremenus and ordered drinks. The restaurant is located in a strange space right where Airline and Cimarron intersect; it's a bit hard to find. The inside is painted bright sea blue with nautical decorations with about 20 tables. The menu contains mostly seafood but some chicken and steak selections. We ordered fried grouper/shrimp platter with okra and cole slaw and grilled shrimp with rice pilaf and mixed vegetables. We were given a bowl of fresh potato chips, warm from the fryer - they're good, but I would suggest salt and seasonings, maybe even a sauce for dipping as they are bland. Bland seemed to be the cuisine of the day. Our fish and shrimp were not seasoned very well, and needed more salt/pepper just to be palatable. The tartar sauce is very tasteless as is the cole slaw made with mainly red cabbage. The okra was fine, the hushpuppies were forgettable and would benefit greatly from a little jalapeno, onion, corn or pepper. Grilled shrimp was good except for the seasoning and the pilaf was okay, but who raves about rice pilaf? Steamed veggies (yawn) were yucky. Even a cheese sauce or butter sauce would have improved the flavor. The portions of grouper on the fish/shrimp platter were tiny - about the size of a half dollar and there were only three of them. At the price you would expect a little more. The shrimp on that platter were large but overcooked. Everything tasted fresh - - no complaints there. The service was attentive and friendly. The restaurant is clean inside and has a full bar. Total for two platters, two teas was $46.88 without tip. With just a few tweaks this restaurant would be five stars.

    Was visiting Corpus and found this restaurant online and decided to give it a try and I'm so glad…read morewe did. The food and service were both great. We came in about an hour before closing so the restaurant was nearly empty, but our waiter served us graciously and didn't miss a beat on amazing service. We had the calmari, kats meow (shrimp appetizer), and a steak with Mac n cheese and potatoes. All were amazing. I also had a caesar salad that paired well with the shrimp accompaniment that we ordered with the steak. Only watch out, is it was a little dark in the restaurant to me, but nothing unbearable. I would definitely recommend and whenever I'm back in Corpus I will return.

    Here's my Clint Eastwood review, The Good, The Bad, and The Disappointing…read more The Good Location, not on SPID and all that congestion. Located on Spohn right off of S Staples, really nice location. This place is huge, with a giant bar, where we like to sit and dine, with an adjacent raw/Sushi bar, very nice. The bar offers a huge selection of adult beverage makings. We were celebrating our 39th anniversary, so a restaurant of this caliber is certainly appropriate. The drinks, a Tanqueray Martini with an Orange twist for her and a Manhattan straight up with four roses bourbon for me, were perfectly sized and delicious. The restaurant boasts a large freestanding humidor with a nice selection of cigars. I also noticed a wall of personal humidor lockers for customers to keep their personal cigars available. This all suggested a cigar room, but I never saw it. The wait staff, were mostly attentive. Instead of depending on your bartenders to deliver food, I'm more accustomed to restaurants, of this caliber, to have a dedicated wait staff for bar dining patrons. Especially considering they have a large number of high top tables for dining in the bar. Friday nights, like when we were there, get pretty hectic for the bartenders. For our second drink the bartender made mistakes on both our drinks, my wife's Martini came with Olives,(I liked them) instead of the twist of orange. My Manhattan came with her twist of orange instead of the usual Luxardo cherry. Perhaps if the bartenders just bartended they wouldn't make simple mistakes. ‍ . They were very nice and brought me a shot glass with several Luxardo cherries in it. Thank you Ladies! The food. We started with appetizers. My wife got their escargot that were traditionally prepared in an escargot serving dish rich with butter, garlic and a hint of citrus. They were delicious, albeit small. My wife was happy with them. I got their Crispy Calamari Atop Stir Fried Carrots, Green Onions & Cashews with a Kung Pao Sauce. This dish, for us, was the hit of the night. The calamari, instead of the rings so commonly served, were calamari strips. They were perfectly fried and the combination of the calamari, the vegetables and that kung pao sauce was absolutely mouth watering. If you like calamari I highly recommend this dish. You won't be disappointed. Entrees. My wife got their escargot Greek style rack of Lamb with spinach. The Lamb was perfectly seasoned and served medium-rare. It was absolutely delicious. If you like Lamb this is a great dish, oh and the chops were huge! The Bad. Nothing to see here. The Disappointing. I ordered the USDA Prime Ribeye with Citrus-Braised Baby Carrots & Whipped Potatoes and a Dijon Herbal Butter. I order my steaks cooked medium-rare "Pittsburgh style". First, everyone knows what a ribeye steak looks like, it has that very distinctive shape, you can't miss it. If what they served me was a ribeye, then I'm the true Bad Bunny! When the entrees were delivered they didn't give us steak knives, we had to ask for them. Now maybe they were that confident in the tenderness of the meat that they didn't feel we needed steak knives. Or maybe, just maybe, they should be tending bar instead of delivering food. Second the menu clearly states USDA Prime Ribeye. I know what that is, and what was served me wasn't that. As I stated I order my steaks "Pittsburg style". What that means is the steak is first cooked to an internal temperature that is 5 to 10° short of medium-rare. The steak is then immersed in either melted butter or tallow and then immediately thrown on a very hot grill. This causes the grill to engulf the steak in flames charring the outside of the steak and raising the internal temperature to medium-rare. I do it all the time on my backyard grill. While my steak did have some charring, it wasn't Pittsburg style. Conclusions. Would we go back? Absolutely if for nothing else to get that crispy calamari. Would I order the steak again? Not without getting some assurances that I get a Rib Eye and they know how to cook it Pittsburg style. I guess, in the end, this has all the potential to be a high-end steakhouse, for our visit I felt they didn't meet that expectation.

    I visited on Friday afternoon to sit at the bar for Happy Hour and it was an excellent experience…read more I arrived and headed to the bar at 3:10 PM, Happy Hour is 3-7. There was one other table occupied. Happy Hour specials are margaritas and beer, each for only $3. And these aren't small, wimpy, HH sized margaritas, they were full goblet sized and outstanding. I also had the HH Tater Boats and mushrooms. The tater skins were actually half potatoes with cheese, chives and bacon, very tasty. The mushrooms were crispy and served piping hot.

The menu is quite extensive.I want to come again and try their seafood. Inside is kind of dark with a lot of wood. Music is playing at a nice volume to allow for conversation. It's actually pretty quiet inside. I liked that. Restroom was very clean and smelled freshly cleaned. They had real metal utensils, cloth napkins, and real ceramic plates. Nice! My salad plate was chilled. . I asked for Ranch dressing and I am pretty sure it was homemade. My salad was crisp and very fresh with no brown or weird pieces. The t also comes with bitter and biscuits. Even the green beans tasted homemade and were very fresh and flavorful. The steak was outstanding. Smoky, juicy, tender, and cooked as ordered, med rare. I am really glad I chose this restaurant for dinner tonight. I will definitely be back next month.
