We ordered the Bayou Country Feast, and it was delicious. It came with gumbo, catfish, shrimp, and oysters along with fries, beans, and coleslaw. The service was great. The ice tea is really good here, too.

I stopped by Catfish Charlie’s and ordered the combination plate with frog legs and catfish, along with a salad and beans. I also ordered a bowl of seafood gumbo and they bring hush puppies to the table while you wait.
Now, I’m normally not a hush puppy fan, but these? Absolutely the best I’ve ever had…. crisp, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, wow!. I could’ve eaten a basket of them but I wanted to eat at least some of my main entree.
The main entrée, however, left me underwhelmed. The frog legs were surprisingly small and disconnected (not paired as I usually see elsewhere). That didn’t bother me as much as the flavor or lack thereof. They really need a bold marinade or better seasoning in the batter. Even hot sauce and butter couldn’t save them. The catfish was fried well, but again, it lacked flavor and didn’t present as traditional fillets, strips, or steaks, more like unrecognizable cuts.
On the bright side, the beans were excellent and it’s hard to sell me on beans…. these were rich, flavorful, and hearty. The salad was fresh, colorful, and delicious.
But the star of the show? The seafood gumbo! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hands down one of the best I’ve had. Flavor-packed, LOADED with seafood in every bite, and absolutely worth the trip. My advice: skip the plate and go straight for the gumbo and make sure you get the bowl, not the cup.
If I’m ever in the area again, I’ll be back for the gumbo without hesitation.

Absolutely adore this place! The staff is always super kind and the hush puppies are addictive. Perfectly crispy but fluffy on the inside.
My go to order is the SOBs, Fried catfish and fried oysters!

good fried shrimps, honestly didn’t like the coleslaw because you can really taste the cabbage but aside from that it was fine

I was excited to try this place out. The waitress didn’t seem very welcoming at all. I’m visiting from out of town and from what I saw this place looked to be popular and welcoming. When I asked about grilled options, it seemed to irritate my waitress. I had a long wait to even get offered a drink. I decided to try the special gumbo. It actually tasted pretty good. However, the shrimp in it were not deveined.

Amazing food and hospitality!
I moved out of Texas when I was 11 and brought my family back to Corpus to see where I grew up.
I recognized the Catfish Charlie’s building and had to stop in. The food was amazing! Not many places have 40+ years in business. Kudos!

Super happy with my experience here. Staff were friendly and quick. I got my meal within 15 minutes of sitting down, and what a meal it was. The plate was huge and included a whopping portion of fries and coleslaw alongside the entree. Everything was piping hot and tasty. Often, fried foods can taste greasy, but this was not an issue here. My chicken strips were huge and perfectly cooked; same with the catfish. No muddy taste on the catfish either; delicious! The red beans were seasoned just right. Great value for the price and tasty food to boot. Would absolutely come back next time I’m in the area.
