2nd location in Corpus Christi that I have been to. WOW, AWESOME AS WELL! Food was fresh and hit. The service was great. The staff were friendly. We were sat in under 5 minutes and the atmosphere was legit.

Me and the wife came here to try out this seafood restaurant since we never really get seafood. The restaurant atmosphere was great, nice and cozy for a good date night! I ordered a half a dozen oysters on the half shell as an appetizer. I ate the most of it, the wife only had two. The oysters were pretty good! Then the wife and I had half a pound of shrimp, half a pound of sausage, half a pound of crawfish, and a whole pound of snow crab legs in some Cajun seasoning. That was really good. We both loved the friendly service, and we both loved the food. A little on the pricey side I must admit. We paid nearly $100 for everything. However, we had a good time together. 5/5 stars from the both of us!

Living the island life means seafood is always within reach—and for a quick and satisfying seafood fix, Surfing Crab definitely delivers.
We went for a hearty combo of Snow Crab Legs, Manila Clams, shrimp, and calamari, all served with a side of potatoes and corn cobs. The crab legs were the undeniable highlight—sumptuous, meaty, and flavorful. Whether dipped in their signature Surfing Sauce or the classic garlic butter and lemon, each bite was a burst of savory seafood goodness.
The shrimp, though headless, had surprisingly soft shells, making them easy to enjoy. Both the clams and calamari were cooked just right—tender and flavorful without being overdone.
Add to that the casual, nautical “galley” vibes of the restaurant, and you’ve got a seafood experience that truly captures the essence of island living.

I really love this place and the biggest surprise was the chicken fried steak! One of the best I’ve ever had. The fried shrimp and fried oysters were also great. Service was wonderful drinks were great atmosphere was amazing. I will definitely go back and recommend it to my friends.

Easily seated during peak dinner time. Food was out fast and was absolutely amazing. As other reviews note the service needs improvement. Not sure if it’s training or if the servers have too many tables in their section. Had to flag ours down for almost everything we needed.

First off, I love that their full menu is online in high quality images. This made it easy going in, our group decided on one of the Daily Specials. The location was clean, we were sat fairly quick for a Sunday afternoon, and our server was kind and quick.
Our appetizers, Fried Pickles and the SC Loaded Fries (not pictured), were fantastic. The fried pickles were my favorite, had great seasoning, and they came out perfectly hot. I personally didn’t care for the loaded fries, but the rest of table thought they were extremely tasty and a nice play on loaded fries.
Our group was 4 women and we split all 2 appetizers and our special with no issues! Our Special also came out piping hot, the seasoning was delectable as they literally shake up your bag in front of you before pouring.

It’s not wonderful. We got the fish and chips b/c we were craving that. Ended up with the fish and shrimp combos b/c why not?. When they brought out the food, The pieces of supposedly Flounder (did not taste or look like Flounder) were so small, like one bite each piece (only 2 pieces per basket). When I asked the server, she just said “I just bring the food”.
Wow!! I gave her a little direction in asking her if maybe she could ask the kitchen about it? And she brought 3 more pieces for the 4 of us. Not 3 each, 3 to share. Definitely not worth the cost or experience.

First time and I was really surprised. Our waitress was so awesome. I think her name was Kayla V. She made sure we were content with everything and had great suggestions. The food was hot, crunchy, and had a good flavor.
