"An enduring Gulf Coast classic, Christie’s invites diners into its casual, nautical-themed space for seafood favorites. (Its bright white exterior is maybe one of the most recognizable restaurant facades in town, too.) Dishes include a seafood gumbo, crispy fried shrimp, and an oyster BLT po’boy. Located on Westheimer, Christie’s also showcases a variety of whole fish options, including branzino and stuffed flounder." - Marcy de Luna
"A Houston staple for over a century, Christie’s embodies old-school Gulf Coast charm with its nautical décor and menu brimming with seafood favorites. This easygoing spot is ideal for family dinners or a nostalgic seafood fix. Indulge in crispy fried shrimp, hearty seafood gumbo, and a diner-favorite — the open-faced 1917 Famous Fish Sandwich, featuring a fried, broiled, or blackened fillet on toasted bread with lettuce and tomato. Whole fish options like branzino and stuffed flounder are on offer, and for steak lovers, Christie’s serves classic steakhouse fare, including a tender 10-ounce rib-eye." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Christie’s has served seafood, steaks, and fat Gulf oysters for over 100 years. The dining room resembles an old-school cruise ship deck or the nicest restaurant in a small seaside town. Above every table, a mounted fish gazes down at your crispy fried snapper po’boy, grilled strip sirloin, or pile of golden fried shrimp. This is a great place to go with your family, especially if someone has memories of Christie’s from growing up in Houston or usually asks for a seafood dinner every visit. Plus, nothing will surprise you here, which is why we love it." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
"Christie’s has been serving up seafood and steaks in the Galleria area for over 100 years. The dining room resembles an old-school cruise ship deck or perhaps the nicest restaurant in a small seaside town. Stuffed fish are mounted above every table, likely gazing out over sparkling platters of fat Gulf oysters or crispy fried snapper po’boys. Not to get all corny, but this is a great place to go with a multi-generational group because this is where memories are made for all kinds of people who grew up in Houston." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene, julie takahashi
"Diners at Christie’s Seafood & Steaks have two options for gumbo: a one-protein-wonder Gulf shrimp gumbo or mixed Gulf shrimp and crabmeat gumbo (each served in either a bowl or a cup). Order a bowl to share before getting into larger fried seafood plates or leaning into theme and ordering one of the restaurant’s shrimp, catfish, or fried oyster-stuffed po’ boys. The bright, nautical exterior and traditional interior with long, white-tablecloth tables creates a unique ambience that has attracted Houstonians for years." - Minh T. Truong
