Love coming to this place for an evening of delicious shrimp, fish, onion rings & avocado salad . It’s worth the drive ………………..on another note…, Restrooms need updating along with the entire restaurant, ditch the ancient carpet and put flooring …some things I noticed that needs some serious cleaning..,(vents, & walls.) some good white paint will help tremendously and make all the doors look white or keep them bleached clean….. a few things will make the appearance of the restaurant more appealing.:)

This restaurant in the middle of no where is amazing! Huge shrimp and family atmosphere. Remember guys are not allowed to wear hats inside. I have been coming here for years. Love the homemade tartar sauce. It comes with your dinner.

The food was just okay nothing bad, but nothing memorable either. The service, however, was great. Our server was attentive, friendly, and really did their best.
Unfortunately, the atmosphere took away from the experience. The restaurant feels very old and dirty, and it’s clearly in need of updates and a deep cleaning. What was most concerning was seeing used toilet paper that appeared to have been used to clean someone’s needles, which was unsettling and raised serious cleanliness and safety concerns.

First off I do not like tarter sauce. I say that because their homemade tarter sauce steals the show! If you don’t like tarter sauce just try it once, you might be amazed. All the food we are was fresh, cooked perfectly, not greasy. Can be a little pricey but it’s fresh seafood. Would definitely go back and recommend. Great view, good atmosphere, friendly staff.

8.8.25 finally was able to make it out here for the first time. Not impressed the fried shrimp was just that fried with no seasoning. Hush Puppies taste like those out of a bag. Was impressed with the onion rings nicely thin and fried just right.

Horrible experience. Front girls tried stealing $25 dollars from us, after we put a $0 tip on a to-go order. Worked the food industry before and that’s no accident. You have to manually put in a tip after checking if you are adding/not adding a tip to the right card number. Terrible service. They tried blaming our bank before admitting it was their fault.

AMAZING FOOD, GREAT WAITRESS, to bad I cannot remember her name. Nice ambiance. Clean restroom. I highly recommend the avocado salad. We had salad and shrimp. Shrimp was so good. Will be back to try the fish, I’ve heard it’s delicious.

If you are coming in from out of town, and you want a calm, serene view from you seat then Kings Inn is a great option. You can feel the Bay breeze in your hair when get out of your vehicle. Right away you can smell thier fried onion rings. Ordering is simple. I recommend the avocado salad, fried onion ring, fried shrimp, fried catfish, fried oysters, and an iced soda. You’ll always get fries and their amazing tarter sauce with every meal. I put there tarter sauce on everything. Its has just the right amount of jalapeño heat. They have few options, which insures that you get the same Great seafood everytime. Ive been enjoying their food for over 40 years, and I have never had any issues. Gentlemen, please remove you hat.

Everything was delicious with the exception of the first batch of onion rings. They were slightly cold. We asked for a 3nd batch, and we got alot more and freshly cooked. Delicious! Shrimp and fish was very good.

The Kings Inn is a historical Texas Seafood Staple for just over 100 years now. My Grandfather was stationed in Corpus after WW2 in the 1950’s this WAS the happening place back then. My mother came here for special occasions in the 1980’s. I have been just for traditions sake.
The interior is nostalgic if not a little dated. The menu is simple, and probably hasn’t changed too much in the time it’s been open. If you like fried seafood and salads reminiscent of the 1950’s you should check this place out.
