Catfish Charlie's

This place surprised me when we walked in, it was pretty dark but clean and tidy. Worked in my favor bc after cleaning all morning I felt sloppy. They decorated for Halloween and it was really cute. The waitresses and hostesses are all very nice and check on you frequently. This place is extremely reasonably priced. I'm very picky with Cole slaw and it wasn't my specific cup of tea but it was good. I prefer more of the apple cider tang. The red beans were super delicious and the fish was light and airy for fried food. Catfish isn't my favorite fish, but I came here because my son asked for fish and I wanted to try local places I haven't been to before. I think I'll be trying the frog legs or gumbo next time. Getting hush puppies before we ordered was a nice surprise. The food came out quickly and I got the ticket really fast when it became clear my child wasn't on his best behavior and it was time to go. Fast and efficient so the perfect place for lunch break if you work nearby.

We were looking for a local seafood restaurant and found it when we walked into Catfish Charlie’s! A forty year old business and they sure know how to fish delicious seafood! From farm raised catfish to fried shrimp - gumbo to chicken tenders - everything was YUM! When you are seared the hush puppies are served straight away! Love me some good hush puppies and these are good hush puppies! The server we had was terrific too. She was one of the intuitive types- can read a table and anticipate your needs before asking! Spot on. We will definitely return on our next trip to Corpus Christi! The decor is old school - not all fancy - reflects what was hip forty years ago…don’t change it Catfish Charlie’s!

Ate here on a whim tonight and it was great! And the service was phenomenal. My waitress was so nice (blonde with a septum nose ring and awesome nails!). The sweet tea is good enough to come back for alone! Ordered the gumbo and crab pepper puppies. Highly recommend the gumbo.
