Great Seafood!!!! I highly recommend the grilled shrimp and stuffed Mahi Mahi. I also tried a special there last week; stuffed snapper. It was incredibe. They also now have Sunday brunch, which is hard to find here!!!!! more

We visited this place for the first time about two years back on a trip to Padre Island. As it was recommended by locals we gave it a whirl. It has history and that is fine. We were not looking for fancy either and are all about 'mom and pop' places and minimal, but clean, ambience. As to the cuisine... more

Been going here since high school. Better choices, but fairly good. more

Where better to go for a wide variety of oysters than an oyster bar. Not. The name of this place is very deceptive. They only had oysters on... more

We visited the Black Diamond Oyster Bar based on Trip Advisor traveler reviews. Upon entering, our first impression was that the restaurant was dreary and somewhat unclean. We ordered our food and drinks, mainly ceviche and broiled Mahi-Mahi and shrimp. The ice-tea that was served was insipid. When our order was served, the fish and shrimp were fried rather than... more

Forget all those pretentious tourist traps - this is the real thing! Peel-and-eat shrimp are good, oysters on the half-shell are good, fish is good, gumbo is good, key-lime pie is good, service is good, waitresses are friendly, come to think of it, it's all good. We've been coming to Corpus Christi once a year for seventeen years now and... more
