Catfish Charlie's

The food was really good for the most part (I didn't care for the seafood gumbo, but it wasn't bad either. It wasn't a dark enough roux for my taste, and could have used more cajun seasoning). The catfish was AMAZING!! It was so meaty and tender!! All of the pieces we had were about 1" thick (pics below to show how thick the catfish was) and fried to golden perfection. If we're ever back in the CC area, my husband and I agreed that this place is a keeper.

Amazing food and hospitality! I moved out of Texas when I was 11 and brought my family back to Corpus to see where I grew up. I recognized the Catfish Charlie's building and had to stop in. The food was amazing! Not many places have 40+ years in business. Kudos!

I was excited to try this place out. The waitress didn't seem very welcoming at all. I'm visiting from out of town and from what I saw this place looked to be popular and welcoming. When I asked about grilled options, it seemed to irritate my waitress. I had a long wait to even get offered a drink. I decided to try the special gumbo. It actually tasted pretty good. However, the shrimp in it were not deveined.

Ya know, when I just want good seafood, no frills, sweet tea and best ever hush puppies this is where I go when I am in town. It’s a staple. Iconic. Straight forward. Great service. But, the decor is dated. But as they say, that’s part of the charm. I take out of towners there a lot. I will always go there when I am in the mood for great food. Never falters. Count me in.

I had the gulf coast combo off the lunch and it was great. The catfish and shrimp were cooked perfectly with a good crispy batter. The coleslaw and red beans were good. The hush puppies were awesome. The tater sauce and cocktail sauce were great and complemented the fish and shrimp well. My waitress was on point and the prices were reasonable. I can’t wait to come back and try other items. I highly recommend Catfish Charlie’s in Corpus Christi.

I had the fish and shrimp plate earlier today with fries, beans and rice. Fish and shrimp were good, some of the fish was extra fishy. Red beans and rice didn't have much flavor. The fries were double fried or just old. They left a weird after taste, ketchup or ranch couldn't mask the taste. Was not happy with the fries at all considering they were half the plate, I feel wasn't worth $18! Will not go back for awhile. Nothing bad to say about service, she was very nice.

I got the catfish with coleslaw, beans and fries. I would say everything was very mid. Not a lot of flavor at all. The hush puppies were good

First time here and it's good. I got the fish and shrimp basket and it's a lot of food for me. I'm from Austin so everytime I come ro corpus I try new restaurant like here and I recommend this place.
