We were a party of 15 Guests and were there for a gathering of monthly Birthday celebrations of four Corpus Christi area Friends! We were greeted with a smile and seated promptly as an area was reserved for our party of 15. Our Waitress was "Ashley"! She was Very nice, smiled often, was very patient and extremely efficient in wrangling everyone's order. Ashley had a great attitude and was super in every aspect of her job and with everything she did. As with anything in life, her ability to effectively communicate with her Customers was Stellar. She had minor assistance from other servers and for the most part she handled our party by herself and continued to provide service to other large parties in the same room. WOW! She took our orders in a calm and effective manner and remembered all the tiny details that any table could impose on "Wait" Staff. Her poise, superb ability to communicate effectively and a Wonderful attitude made our stay a memorable one. Mistakes NONE! Complaints; some steaks had gristle on them. Really! That was a very minor issue and all agreed that it did not curb our appetite or spoil our celebration. The food was good to very good and accompanying condiments for everyone came in a quick and timely manner. Our party highly recommends this Restaurant and we keep coming back!

Now for the food review: 1. The oysters were amazing. 2. The Yellow Curry Shrimp with the plantains was our favorite dish. 3. The short ribs were a let down. The meat was really soft but it was so dry. We couldn't even finish it. (We wished we would have just both ordered th yellow curry shrimp) 4. The truffle fries were good but get the 1/2 order if your 2 because the serving size is a lot. 5. Banana Bread Pudding was the best thing. We kind of wish the serving size of the ice cream was a little more because the bread pudding was a large serving. It was the star of the show. We would be back just for this bread pudding so please don't ever take it off the menu.

We needed lunch anyway, so we stopped in at Blackbeards. I would describe this place as a seafood dive bar. It has an extensive menu with great choices for anyone looking for a certain kind of seafood. I was looking for fried shrimp. My son was looking for fried oysters. Each of them were available with several options. I got a plate that had three fried shrimp, three coconut shrimp, and three fried oysters. Had I known how huge the shrimp would be, I would have left off the oysters. I was really stuffed after eating all of that. Everything was really good, but the coconut shrimp dipped in the accompanying sweet lemon butter sauce were AMAZING. My son had the fried oyster plate. They were his first, and he was disappointed. He really liked them, but he was hoping they would taste more like fresh oysters on the half shell. I guess I should have prepared him for the total transformation. The servers were very helpful and friendly. They all seemed to really like their jobs. If you have to work, why not do it at a beach side restaurant?

The last time we ordered the ribeye quesadillas, when we went to pay, we noticed the bill was a lot more than it should have been..we asked the waitress and she explained that the prices on the menu are not correct...?...and she never told us ahead of time. Instead of the meals being $27.99, they were $30.99. Plus beverages were more. All without any notification from staff. They are ripping people off and not saying anything..no itemized tickets. I just noticed because we use to eat there all the time. Well...... When we went today, I asked our waiter ahead of ordering if the $27.99 for each plate (that it states on the menu) was correct, or are they upcharging? He said "no, it's more..my manager tries to explain to us but we don't understand" and my answer to him was because there is no explanation, pure and simple. This is wrong, and dishonest..all those people, paying their bills not knowing they are being upcharged. We will NEVER, after 20 + years between Portland and Aransas Pass, EVER go back. They should be shut down for ripping people off. If you eat here, you better check your tickets for discrepancy. I wanted to tell the other two tables, on a Friday evening around 4:30, that they were all being charged more than they thought, but my husband said, nope it will come back to get them. We asked for our ticket for 1 beer, and the waiter said he would give us our food for the price on the menu..we declined, paid for beer and left. THAT was bulllllllshit..and they won't fix it. I think it just gives them the opportunity to charge whatever the HELL the want to whomever they want.

This one for me is a bummer. Reason being is that Pep's had been on my "go to list" for many…read morereasons and main one was word of mouth. Friends and co workers raved about it and it gave me high expectations. Before I start I'll say first that this was my first experience here and maybe I shouldn't have sat at the bar. Nonetheless here is what I thought Elijah was our bartender and he did his job. Attentive to the bar patrons and the people sitting on the tables around the bar area. It was only him so I give him kudos for doing a great job! Now the food... We ordered their CAB NACHOS, RIBEYE CHICHARRÓN and a side of fries. The nachos were basic. Nothing too special about them. Looked more like triangle chalupas but the guacamole and pico were fresh and tasty. Nice portion and good taste. Again nothing special but I can see why the bartender said it was his favorite. You can't go wrong with that item. Fries, to me not really fries more like bulky curly fries. Needed salt but that's a plus cause at times places add too much. Now that item I was excited for... And it was a downer. When you call something "chicharrón" you must make sure that it's fried well and that it's crispy. The Ribeye Chicharrón was more like ribeye steak chunks instead. Nothing about it defined crunch at all! The presentation was cool though as it came in a jar sort of speak and they let them fall like a tower. Just fell short of my expectations based on the item name and description. Again, their pico and guacamole were delicious! My favorite was the pico! Really fresh. I will need to come back and try their other items but their first impression to me was mid. Again, my opinion and my experience. Godspeed everyone!!
