Review Christie's Seafood & Steaks - Houston

Had an amazing experience for my first time here. The food was great, the steak was cooked perfectly, the salad was crisp and fresh. My boyfriend had the salmon Royale and he was thoroughly pleased with his meal as well! I will definitely be back and will also refer my friends! Thank you for the amazing experience!

it's been a long time since we stopped at Christie's. Everyone was pleasant from the host, who greeted us to the helper, packing our doggy bag. My wife ordered the fried oyster poboy, and it was very good. I ordered the seafood platter. The side salad was good and the broccoli substituted for the French fries was a huge portion. Only 3 items came on the platter. Two fried shrimps, a stuff crab, and one fried catfish. I guess I was expecting more items, such as fried oyster and scallops. It's my fault for not reading the menu. The shrimp and stuff crab were excellent. The batter on the catfish was very hard, not light and flaky. I had to chew through the crust slowly. znext time I'll try the grilled platter. the carrot cake was excellent too.

My mom used to bring me here in the 70's for special occasions. The food is still stellar. I had the baked fish with crab n shrimp and a soft "dressing ". I've never had anything like it. The scalloped potatoes were delicious, cheesy and perfectly cooked. (had enough to take home for another meal). The village salad was a little boring, I expected more and smaller pieces. Niko Niko's has one more typical of my Greek travels. My husband had the fish sandwich. Which was a huge snapper fried filet with fries and cole slaw. He couldn't finish it all !! A rare occurrence. Oh, yummy sweet cornbread was served with the salads and 2 more bread rolls with the meal. I could have just eaten breads and butter for a meal!! The service was excellent and friendly. It's a quiet place with tons of seating and a good-sized parking lot in a busy section of Westheimer. We arrived 5 minutes after opening for lunch on a weekday. I plan to return and try other dishes.

Excellent service and atmosphere to enjoy a great meal. Food is very good. Prices are avg for the quality in this area. Menu is limited in my opinion. Would like to see more sauces for fish meals. Definitely recommend and see if you like it as much. Had them make me a topshelf melt down Margarita and it was awesome!

It would be so cool if they could do a complete remodel of the interior. The food was excellent. The soda machine was down (I really wanted a Coke). It may be a good idea to keep canned or bottled soft drinks for situations like that. Deani was my waitress and was exceptional.

Mom and I Had to try the famous Fried Shrimp Platter for Lunch. It is Devine, and did I mention, Famous? Deani brought great service to our experience.

Wow! Unsure how I drove past this place so many times without realizing how much of a hidden gem it is. The food and selection is absolutely magnificent. The service is phenomenal. Christie’s has become a part of my weekly routine! I heavily recommend this restaurant to anyone with an appetite!

Great historic restaurant to grab a bite!! Service and food were beyond great, and we will definitely be visiting again.

The food was delicious! We were actually just driving around looking for seafood and decided to stop in and was pleasantly impressed. Our server Deani was amazing! All her recommendations were perfectly prepared and served. If you’re in the area it’s a great place to enjoy an authentic tasty seafood meal.

We, party of two visited here for the second time on Tuesday 8/2/2022 around 7 pm. Even though the restaurant closes at 8 pm, we still received superior customer service. The staff were welcoming. We were sat immediately and we were not rushed to order or finish our meals. Our server Deani was great! The food was good, seemed fresh, was a good portion size and was delivered fast. We had the 5 oz salmon prepared medium well. Mine was blackened. My cousins was “ginger soy style”. We also had the au gratin potatoes which are one of my favorite things on the menu, and green beans. The food doesn’t have a lot of seasoning, but adding salt and pepper to mine did the job. I had a frozen mango margarita which was good. The dinner salad that came with the meal was nothing special but I liked the chipotle ranch dressing. They also serve dinner rolls with the meal. The food is reasonably priced. The atmosphere was quiet. The decor was nautical. I would return.

If you love seafood, and are tired of red lobster, come here. I swung by looking for a shrimp poboy, and I wasn't disappointed. Great atmosphere, incredibly professional staff. It was a tremendous experience all around.

My friend and I visit nearly every week for lunch to which the food and service are consistently great! Deani is usually our waitress and we look forward to her kind service and menu recommendations. The shrimp bisque and fried shrimp with remoulade are our favorites! 100+ years of service and the tasty food proves it.

Discovered this amazing restaurant earlier this year. Wow! Great food. Fair pricing. Quality, quality, quality. Amazing service. Wonderfull staff.

First visit to Houston's oldest restaurant, if you can believe that. Who knew? (Not us.) First, the food. Outstanding. Large menu, lots of selections. But not a huge menu. Some surprising omissions, such as scallops. The impression I get is that they know what they do well and stick to it. Eating it was the proof. We will definitely return to sample more dishes to be sure, but all we selected this visit were as good as any we have ever had: shrimp, flounder, rainbow trout, oysters (none fried). Typical Texas-sized servings. The coleslaw was particularly delicious, but mostly because it's just how *I* like it; YMMV. The scalloped potatoes were delicious, but too much cheese; again, YMMV. We have every expectation that many other dishes we did not have room to enjoy, but could see as they were being served to patrons at other tables, will be just as delicious. The Key Lime pie was delicious; they do not make it, but "purchase the best" from a bakery they readily admit. That's just another illustration of how they stick to what they do best: preparing seafood. The wine list is short, but adequate (only six reds, plus some whites, all available by the glass, reasonably-priced). They have steaks, also ... but why? (Some just don't like fish, I assume). The pictures of their dishes that are available on various web sites are exactly what you will get. Attractive preparation and presentations. I'm not sure how this restaurant escaped my attention for more than 21 years. Despite its consistently high ratings and very positive reviews on various websites, I was prepared to be underwhelmed, since it never popped up on any of my searches before. And, at first view, I was immediately leery; the building looked old, as one would expect had it been having its maintenance deferred. While it may be old, it is indeed in great shape, and inside it's clear that order and cleanliness are very important. The tables are spread out, obviously actually limiting the number of patrons who can be seated. The tables are covered with paper tablecloths, presumably for easy changing, and paper, but not cloth, napkins are provided in abundance. All servers and staff are masked. By the time we were leaving, all tables were occupied, three parties were awaiting being seated, and there was a short line outside. We finally understood why their parking lot has so many spaces! Clearly, a very popular establishment, intent on reassuring patrons of their concern and adherence to safety practices. This is not a fancy restaurant. The forte here is the seafood. You will not be disappointed.

Christie's is most certainly one of the best restaurants in the Houston area. The family continues to run the business just like their founding parents. Their love of the business and their special way with their patrons makes it a joy to visit every time.
