Also enjoyed the smoked brisket quesadilla with some cold beers, complete with coozies. And, bonus, across the street is the super cool , Seaman's Memorial Tower, dedicated to the local shrimpers and sailors who lost their lives to the sea. Very inspirational, and worth checking out.

Granted, we did visit during the off-peak season (beginning of October) but nevertheless we enjoyed our meals and would highly recommend trying them out for food that is tasty and doesn't break the bank in a relaxed environment! We got the Nacho Paradise with chicken (absolutely HUGE serving of nachos that you will have leftovers for!) and the Garlic Parmesan Wings in Paradise (very tasty and freshly made) for appetizers. For mains, I got the Mini Shrimp Boil (also super flavorful, a tad on the too salty side but an excellent portion size) and the Coco Shrimp on day 2 (I LOVED how fresh the coconut flavor was and the orange marmalade it comes with was a very nice compliment). My husband got the Pecan Crusted Snapper with mashed potatoes and really enjoyed it too. We will be back!

We were seated promptly at a table next to windows facing the Harbor. Our Wait Staff Professional was Maricela aka "Mari"! We each ordered different Seafood dinner plates. It takes time to prepare great meals for so many Customers and today was no exception. Our small wait was well rewarded with four plates of excellently prepared fare. I noticed that the all the staff were working together to help each other serve the Customers. I looked up and headed to our table I saw Ms. Destiny with a huge tray of dinner plates high above her head. Using ONE hand! Her presentation was Worthy of any high end European dining. Excellent coordination while setting up the stand so our waitress Maricela could serve our dinner. This staff worked as a TEAM to help each other in providing Outstanding Service to go with a GREAT meal. WOW! I was impressed. My wife ordered the Bread pudding with sourdough bread. It was good! To go with our great meal there was great scenery outside. We kept looking out the massive windows at the passing personal fishing boats and the fish turning in the water. We enjoyed our meal and got a bonus when the moon came out and displayed itself in a very brilliant way. We took pictures. We highly recommend Paradise Key - Go There!

We ended up with a basket of fish and chips that was cooked perfect. The batter was crispy and flaky, the fries were.. fries, if I had to pick one critique it'd be more salt on the fries. We also ordered the calamari and this is top tier. I personally love the tentacles and was pleased with the amount included. I don't care much for marinara so we dipped in ranch. It was excellent not rubbery at all. The best calamari we've had in corpus.

The best part was the ladies restroom. It had more stalls than I have seen at any venue.

I came here recently for the Turnpike Troubadours show, and my first impression walking up was…read moregreat. It was super cute with a rustic vibe -exactly what you want in an outdoor Texas concert. This good impression lasted about 5 minutes. We had wristbands for the pit, but decided to grab a drink first since once Im down there in it, Im not leaving my spot. Big mistake. We spent literally all of the Randy Rogers' set waiting in line for a drink and had to watch it all from the wonderful vantage point of the drink line by the stage. About Forty-seven minutes in total. I go to concerts across Texas nearly every weekend, and I have never waited that long for ANYTHING before. Not a drink, not merch, not even a porta-potty. It was ridiculous. By the time we finally got our drinks, Turnpike was already well into their second song. I would've happily kept spending money at the bar, but not at the price of missing half the show. To make matters worse, as soon as the concert ended, staff immediately started kicking everyone out. There was no chance to hang out and sit down for a second, grab another drink if you wanted to spend the better part of an hour trying to get one, or even soak in the moment. This was my first event here, and I'm pretty confident in saying it'll be my last. The setting is cute, but the operations are a hot mess. If they want people to come back, they seriously need to figure out staffing, lines, and people flow because right now, they don't seem like they have it together. Judging from several other Yelp reviews Im seeing here I'm not the only one who ran into issues with the operations (or lack thereof) at the venue.
