Salt Water Grill isn't a favorite of mind, but my business meeting was here. The waitress was impersonal and never refilled our drinks. We ordered the Mahi Mahi tacos with hot aioli sauce. The fish was dry! I forgot to take the photo because I was talking so much. The restaurant was nice and clean. The host wasn't overly excited to be at work. I don't think I will be back. read more

Great environment with a very attentive staff. Everyone is warm and friendly. Came here because of their rating and I'm out of town wanting great seafood. We ordered oysters Rockefeller for appetizer, it was outstanding, great taste and not overly breaded or saucy, you could still taste the oysters. For dinner we ordered the special which was mahi with crab, rosemary sauce. Great taste but the fish was beyond overcooked and chewy.(only reason for 4 stars). We also ordered a couple alcohol drinks and their peach tea that were tasty. I would definitely go back! read more

Salt Water Grill - Mushrooms - Seafood Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

So grateful for Salt Water Grill! The best oysters Rockefeller we've ever had with their signature sauce!!! No need for crackers as these slide right out of the shell and into your mouth! The service was outstanding. Especially the host constantly checking on us and asking our opinion on our choices as we tried them. Ask to be seated with Destiny, she will take exceptional care of you. We travel with our little dog and called ahead to ask if they were pet friendly. We were told if he doesn't cause a disturbance or be a distraction for the other guests. Our baby dog knows how to behave in public and sat quietly looking out the window. No one was disturbed or distracted and he is welcomed back. We will be back for sure! Thank you for the 5 star service and delicious food. read more

My favorite seafood restaurant in town hands down! Food is consistently excellent. We've been coming here for years.

Great food, service and ambiance. We both had tthe jumbo fried shrimp with fries and cole slaw and a cup of clam chowder. It was all excellent! The only reason for 4 stars was the fried chips they serve up front were not tasty and the hush puppies were kind of dry and tasteless. Might add another type of freebie up front like garlic bread and then some honey to the hush puppies! read more

The restaurant is closing. it is unfortunate because it had a nice vibe and cool events like comedy nights

What a wonderful experience! Greeted by the sweetest young lady when we walked in. Prickly pear margaritas hit the spot. Service was impeccable. Our seafood dishes had flavors throughout. Fish was grilled and seasoned perfectly, vegis were not overcooked and everything was paired perfectly. They knocked this meal out of the park!! read more

Salt Water Grill - Grilled mahi - Seafood Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Good news first. The homemade chips were excellent. Came for the coconut shrimp. It was overcooked and tasted like oil. Drenched them in lemon juice and their dip so I could at least eat them. Coleslaw had absolutely no taste to it. Ordered Key Lime Pie. Could not taste any key lime and the crust was weird tasting to us. Also ended up with a piece of metal in my pie. Thankfully I did not swallow it. I showed it to the cooks as I left so they would be aware, but they did not seem concerned. Was so looking forward to this place, but cannot recommend it. I have never reviewed a restaurant before, but just disappointed in the choice and quality of the foods we ordered and never had metal in my food! read more

Not fancy but excellent seafood and surprisingly reasonable prices. Loved the Parmesan shrimp. It came with perfectly cooked FRESH green beans and a delicious rice pilaf. Our dinner salads were really good and fresh too. My husband and I shared the dinner and they brought it to us served onto two plates that looked like a full dinner each!! read more

Great little family neighborhood restaurant in Corpus Christi. Nice alternative to the touristy places in town. Both the food and service are great. Fresh oysters on the half shell from nearby Copano Bay. Fresh seafood choices are quite nice. Decent bar with beers on tap. Reasonable prices. read more

We arrived early on a tired Tuesday evening and my partner and I were immediately seated, handed menus 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. read more

Such a wonderful place to eat! The seated us with house made potato chips. For an appetizer we chose the bacon wrapped shrimp stuffed with crab. They were so good! They also have these as an entree. I ordered the Mahi Alto Cocina. It came with rice pilaf and mixed vegetables. It was very tasty. My husband ordered the special of the day that is not on their menu. It was grilled salmon with clump crab with a special sauce with rice pilaf and broccoli. It also was amazing. His was so big he had to take some home. Most of the chefs specials dishes ran about $27. The servers we very kind and took great care of us. Will be eating here more often. read more

The food was OK very high priced the oysters were horrible. They were small, small and buying a dozen very small. You get a better deal if you go down to happy hour down at down at the oyster bar downtown in Corpus Christi. read more

Food and service was outstanding! The food was very fresh and tasted great! They have a great variety of cocktails too!

Best experience ever. I remember being here with my late wife, I had fun, it was a great experience and I look forward to visiting again.

Absolutely wonderful. The food is amazing a d the staff is attentive and kind. Its in a good location and easy to access.

My server Jasmin seated me and got me a beer and water while I looked over the menu. She brought my drinks and a basket of homemade potato chips...and they are very addicting! I decided to go with Jasmin's suggestion and ordered their homemade onion rings and the Mahi Alto Cocina. The onion rings were good and the batter light...very good appetizer or side for a meal. The Mahi Alto Cocina was very different, but in a good way. The fish was cooked just right and the cream sauce was mellow but the pico really made the dish "pop" with the raw tastes combined with the cooked fish and warm cream sauce. The crab is a nice touch but doesn't add much to the dish, but the combination of the sauce, fish, and pico was really good and unusual. The side of veggies and rice were a perfect compliment to the dish made for an overall delicious meal. Great food and excellent service! read more

Oh yeah,I remember now. Pre Pandemic! Does anyone remember that? I came to the coast in December of 2019 to visit my favorite town in Texas, Port Aransas . There's nothing quite as fulfilling as an empty town and beach. But the only time that's available is the truly " off season "of winter. As I said in my first review,I'd come inland for the day because a bitterly cold front moved thru. I found this place and it was perfect. So,finding myself around lunchtime in Corpus,I remembered. So,I dialed up Salt Water Grill on the Yelponator and headed over. They had maintained strong reviews and Star ratings over the last four years so I knew I was fixing to eat some great seafood. I decided to pull over and phone in my order. Perfect,friendly on the other end took my order expeditiously and said 10 minutes. I arrived in 5, was enthusiastically greeted,paid and off a beverage while waiting. Soon my order was ready and wisked away to a local park where I enjoyed fresh gulf coast fish and seafood . Reasonable prices,great service, comfortable inside vibe, extrodenaire prices for 2024. All's I can say is... Go! read more

Food - excellent! We ordered the fried shrimp and oyster platter, fried fish platter, and avocado and bacon ranch salad. All very tasty. And the house chips are quite spectacular as well. Service - so amazingly good. Jose was our server, and I feel like I want to be his best friend. He's pretty cool. He also boxed up some house chip for us to enjoy later. Who does that?? Ambiance - great! It's pretty nice on the inside. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

We arrived around 4:15 pm. Restaurant was not busy at all. We were greeted and seated promptly. Justin was our server. He arrived expeditiously to our table greeted us got our drink order and asked if we wanted appetizers. It was our first visit and I only knew what I researched on Yelp. Justin was very helpful. He suggested the mushrooms, and we ordered that and raw oysters. Both were delightfully good. I had questions about the entrees and he was very knowledgeable and helpful. I ordered the Blackened Redfish w/Caesar Salad and Rice. The salad was awesome. The touch of shaved Parmesan uplifted my experience. The lettuce was cold and crisp the way it should be. My entree was presented well, served at proper food temp, and tasty. My wife ordered the Mahi Mahi that was served with Rice and grilled Asparagus. The fish was cooked perfectly, the rice was a little cool to her pallet which was surprising to me, and the asparagus was cooked just right. I ordered key lime pie for dessert and it was very good. My wife ordered bread pudding to go, and ate it later she said it was over the top good. The restroom was clean, but is in need of a makeover. The overall experience was very good, and I really enjoyed Justin and the service he provided. read more

A great place with an amazing local feel. Can see groups of locals having a regular meal each week and seeing this as a gathering place! I loved the Bacon Wrapped Crab Stuffed Shrimp. So much crab! Also the Po Boys were a hit with our group. Topped off with amazing service from our new friend Jace. Just the right mix of attention and a bit of sarcastic humor. Thanks Jace! read more

Destiny was our server she was a delight. Her recommendations where great and our food came out do timely. We were famished and I ordered shrimp with crab stuff bacon wrapped, oysters Rockefeller, and a cup of gumbo it was my least favorite it had tomatoes in it but the rue was good. Then we had a seafood platter and key lime pie to go. Jose was also dropping off plates and he suggested the Grilled Redfish was excellent and he was very attentive to the needs of our table. I would like to give much respect to the owner Paul checked on us to see if we where enjoying our oysters. He didn't introduce his self just a random check in. I loved that as a fellow business owner. He is on the floor minding his business.! Thanks for the great experience. read more

Craving a little seafood and ended up at SaltWater Grill. Started with a couple of apps, crab stuffed shrimp and onion rings, but the house chips were better than both. Though neither were bad.

It is a cute restaurant with a variety of menu items even if you are not a seafood person. My husband and I came here for lunch and were seated promptly! We were seated under a ceiling fan that was working overtime on high! Our server came to take our order and we said we had never been here. We also requested for the ceiling fan to be turned off as I was freeing (I even had long sleeves on). We had just sat down and had not had time to look at the menu. She said she could get our drinks. We ordered several draft beers but they were out of them. We finally selected our beverages. She dropped the drinks off and did not come back for over 20 minutes. She walked past our table 3 or 4 times and the 5 th time she walked passed, my husband called out to her. We said we have been waiting over 20 minutes to place our order and the fan was still blowing to hard. She said well I do have 3 tables, what do you want. I said the fan is still working overtime. Long story short... we spoke to the manager to let her know our frustrations and that we were leaving because waiting over 20 minutes to place an order was ridiculous as she had time to stand by the kitchen chit chatting with other coworkers. So disappointed in their customer service! I do not recommend this restaurant what so ever! read more
