Our Corpus Christi guidebook for you
Food scene
Great location right on the water. Great weekday lunch and drink specials. As the sun sets, there is no better place to relax and enjoy dinner than on our deck under the J.F.K. Bridge overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway! Sometimes they have live music.

Snoopys Pier was literally a product of the Redfish Wars, a battle over commercial fishing rights in the inland waterways and bay systems of Texas. Over time, the place was transformed with a lot of hard work and patience into a family-friendly seafood restaurant. We have an on-site fish house and shrimp breeding facility that enables us to monitor and control the quality and freshness of our seafood. In 1993 Scoopy's was added to give Snoopy's customers a choice of tasty treats. Since then, Snoopy’s continues to be listed as the best on-the-water dining experience in Corpus Christi, as well as one of the top coastal restaurants in the country and a must-see part of the Texas Coast.

This fun and quirky family favorite is located on Lawrence Street T-Head, overlooking the bay. Of course, the specialty here is crab and other seafood dishes. Be sure to try the crab cakes, either as an entree or as an appetizer. Specialty drinks are available and always make for a good time. The ambiance is casual and young and the decor is eclectic and varied. Definitely, a great place to take the kids and for large groups.
