This is my wife's and my favorite restaurant. It has a very home like atmosphere and live music in the evenings. I love the blackened catfish with the veggies. I also get a side of the spicy spinach cream sauce to pour over the veggies and cat fish. My wife loves the pirate stew and the grilled shrimp.

Disappointed in the CFS. All batter but not much steak. Wife's steak had a lot of gristle. Meat is very thin. Beer good & cold, service friendly and attentive. If & when we go back, I'll have to try the all-u-can-eat fried shrimp. Food prices seem reasonable. CFS quality not even close to the CFS served at CC North Beach; best CFS in the area.

Good food, nice staff. All you can eat shrimp is great. Service was a little slow but it was a Saturday night and we were a group of eight. Very clean. Had live music and performer was fun. I would come back again.

This place is a second location for it's sister place the Ptomaine Tavern called by the same name on North Beach. The place is cleaner and the service is better but that's all. It's thawed out, fried or broiled, and thrown on a place food. It's not a gem it's just a notch better than other places in town.

My family has been here at least 6 times with the same conclusion every time, it's tasty, reasonably priced and the Saturday night entertainment is nice. I always get the chicken fried steak which never dissapoints, others get the all you can eat fried shrimp. One piece of advice, if you get the unlimited fried shrimp, order your next basket immediately after getting your first, it takes forever for them to bring the next one out. If you wait until you are done with your first to order your next, you will sit there for 15 minutes with no food. With the exception of the music on Saturday's, the atmosphere is pretty standard for a South Texas shack, with all due respect to South Texas shacks. :-)
