"Connie’s Seafood Restaurant in the East End has been shelling out a unique combination of Mexican-Asian plates and seafood by-the-pound for decades. So not only can you get dozen after dozen of Gulf oysters here, you can also get a giant plate of shrimp fried rice, a bowl of ceviche, and a frosty michelada. The inside may resemble a discotheque at closing time—tons of neon, bright overhead lights, a backlit glass block bar top—but we kind of dig the scrappy ‘80s vibes. So bring your friends, slide into the plastic-molded booths, and knock back some oysters and beer. There are also multiple locations around town. " - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"Connie’s Seafood Restaurant in the East End resembles a discotheque at closing time—tons of neon, bright overhead lights, a backlit glass block bar top—kind of the mariscos restaurant version of Funplex. The scrappy ‘80s vibe makes sense, though, because the multiple Connie’s locations have been shelling out this combination of Mexican-Asian plates and seafood by-the-pound since the late 1970s. So not only can you get a ceviche and shrimp cocktail here, but also plates of fried rice, frosty micheladas, fried catfish, and, if you really want to mix it up, egg rolls. We enjoy snagging a seat at one of the plastic-molded booths, sipping a beer-rita, and snacking on the fried fish and shrimp combo, mostly because it comes with fried rice and a dinner roll. photo credit: Liz Silva" - Chelsea Thomas
