Catfish Charlie's

Sheryl has the best customer service. Great personality and customer service skills. The food was very good. Order the Charlie's Feast if you want lots of food for a good price.

Its one of those places that filled up quick as soon as the doors opened. Absolutely amazing food and prices. If you get one thing, make it the crab stuffed jalapeños. They're not spicy at all but packed with flavor!!!

Very good food and service. I service name was Kelly she was very kind and she had on pants which says a lot about herself she was a great server with a lot of self respect. The food there was great the atmosphere was very friendly and clean I would definitely go there again. Great catfish and the shrimp was awesome.

Located inside the Crossroads Shopping Village, it may not be an obvious find, but once you step inside and enjoy a meal, you’ll be hooked. I wasn’t sure what to expect when we pulled into the parking lot, but we left delighted with our meal and the exceptional service. We felt as if we had discovered a hidden gem, and trust me, you’ll leave wanting more.

At Catfish Charlie’s, you’ll dine in a casual, Louisiana wharf-style setting. This family-style eatery with the checkered tablecloths has a cozy atmosphere and the service is exceptional. I haven’t experienced customer service like this, ever. From the front of the house to the back, the service at Catfish Charlie’s far exceeded our expectations. The food arrived at the table lightning-fast, and as for our server, it was as if we had our own private waitress that we did not have to share with anyone. The staff makes you feel as if you are the only patrons in the restaurant. I haven’t had an experience like that before or since. The incredible, attentive, and super prompt customer service is a wonderful part of the unforgettable dining experience at Catfish Charlie’s.

The menu offers choices from farm raised fried catfish, a few shrimp choices, oysters, Cajun style frog legs, baskets of hush puppies, and gumbo. And if you are not a seafood fan, you choose from chicken-fried steaks, chicken strips, and Louisiana Style Red Beans and Rice with Ham. They offer some of the best Louisiana fare in Corpus Christi. The delectable hush puppies, delicious entrees, and generous portions leave you satisfied. The food is fantastic.

For our appetizer we had the Crab Pepper Puppies and the Fried Pickle Spears. We loved the Crab Pepper Puppies. The fried jalapenos stuffed with crab meat were a treat. The jalapenos had just the right amount of heat and were fabulous paired with the sweet crab meat — a wonderful combination. And we absolutely loved the crisp Fried Pickle Spears. They were crisp, flavorful, and prepared to perfection.

For our main entrees, my husband ordered the Fried Mississippi Catfish Fillets. The mouthwatering fillets came with country fried potatoes, zesty red beans, hush puppies, and coleslaw. Cooked to perfection, the tender white strips of catfish hit the spot after a day on the beach. I had the Bayou Style Fried Shrimp also served with country fried potatoes, red beans, hush puppies, and coleslaw. The creamy coleslaw, perfect fried potatoes—crunchy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside, and flavorful red beans complimented my shrimp, wonderfully. Cooked and seasoned perfectly, the fried shrimp was some of the best I’ve had, and the hush puppies are seriously to die for.

If you are looking for unforgettable service and fantastic food, I highly recommend a stop at Catfish Charlie’s in Corpus Christi. The food is incredible and you’ll feel right at home while you dine and enjoy a delightful meal.

Catfish Charlie's is a Corpus Christi institution. My wife and kids love it. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but I do like the hush puppies, Creole, chicken fried steak and red beans and rice. While it's not my favorite place and quality can vary from visit to visit, it still deserves four stars. Also, try the fried Pickle spears.
