If you're ever in Corpus Christi and craving some seafood delights, Water Street Oyster Bar should definitely be on your radar. The oysters and prawns here are a hit, and the crab meat mushrooms are simply out of this world. While the sushi might not be everyone's favorite, the local beer is a tasty companion to the seafood spread. I had the pleasure of trying their gumbo and shrimp salad during happy hour, and I must say, the gumbo was packed with flavor, possibly the best I've ever tasted. The mixed grill was another standout, with its smokey flavors perfectly complementing the tender fish without overwhelming it.
The ambiance of the place adds to the dining experience, with cool outdoor and upstairs seating areas that are perfect for a casual outing. Although it can get quite busy, leading to a bit of a wait, the food is definitely worth it. Just a tip, try to avoid sitting near the A/C vents if possible, as it can get a bit chilly. Despite a slight dip in the magic during subsequent visits, the grilled sampler and the grilled salmon were still enjoyable, with the crab cake being a highlight.
Overall, Water Street Oyster Bar remains a must-visit spot in Corpus Christi for anyone looking to enjoy a good meal in a great atmosphere. Whether it's your first visit or a return trip, the place has a way of making each meal memorable.
