Corpus Christi, Texas, is full of picture-perfect patios ready for you and your loved ones to enjoy. Take in the view with these great outdoor dining spots!

Snoopy’s Pier

Sure, Corpus Christi is situated right on Corpus Christi Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, so seafood should be abundant. But some eateries just know how to go above and beyond. One such eatery is Snoopy’s Pier. This kid-friendly seafood haven is located right on the water underneath the JFK Memorial Causeway. They’re serving up delicacies like the oyster sandwich, shrimp creole, and a deviled crab plate.

 

Doc’s Seafood and Steak Restaurant

Also located under the JFK Memorial Causeway you’ll find Doc’s Seafood and Steak Restaurant. The waterfront dining experience is sure to impress, but the menu will simply sweep you off their feet. Choose something from the raw bar, or maybe something fried is more your speed. Whatever you pick, you’re sure to love it.

 

Brewster Street Ice House

Brewster Street Ice House brings you 4-star cuisine in a comfortable and casual setting. Kick back on the patio while listening to the sweet tunes from the live band. The seafood tacos are to die for, plus, every Monday from 5 p.m. until closing time, kids eat free!

 

 

Executive Surf Club

The food is amazing, but you also can’t miss the Executive Surf Club’s live music, over 30 rotating beers on tap, and Tuesday Pint Night. Everything is better from an outdoor patio, right?

 

Boathouse Bar & Grill

This is island dining with style. Boathouse Bar & Grill boasts a two-floor setup with a glorious patio overlooking the bay from the second floor. The Sunday brunch is the perfect way to end your stay in Corpus Christi.
