I live and dine every Friday night in Corpus so here are my suggestions

Snoopy's Island
Doc's Island
Water street oyster bar down town

The dragon fly on the island little known but great cuisine

The Vietnam down town
Green papaya on SPID

All around on the island Johnny D's

Japanese Takeniwa in the mall

Steak the Texas road house

Mexican

La Playa by hooters

Just returned from wife's birthday at Kings Inn. Seven people ate like pigs, and consumed two orders of fried shrimp (2 lbs), two orders of fried drum (2lbs), an order of fried oysters (1 lb), an avocado salad, a Bombay salad, a compimentary platter of tomatoes, and a complimentary platter of french fries and of course iced tea. The whole bill was $120. Not bad at all, so don't be afraid to try this old favorite spot in the coastal bend. You'll miss out if you don't give it a try.

kings inn is worth the drive!

Well we are leaving Corpus in the morning...here is what we did....Snoopy's the first night....got the shrimp and fish and it was good. Went to Port A the next 3 nights to hit the beach. We ate at Kody's and thought it was better than Snoopys...IMHO...Due to kids wanting to go to the beach while at a confernece, I did not have the time to go to Kings INN...I know I know...we really wanted to but just didn't. I will be comming back next year and we do Kings Inn first. Wife kept seeing La Playa Mexican so we tried it too....was good as well. All in all....I am going on a serious diet...I ate way too much fried everywhere we went.....We had a blast and I really appreciate everyones input.
