Water Street Oyster Bar

Carina Jahn a month ago

I've eaten here several times over the years. Last Friday night a friend and I had dinner here. I had the fried seafood platter with shrimp and oysters, a Water Street Wave to drink, and Key Lime Pie for dessert. My friend had the mesquite grilled sampler, a piña colada, and a pineapple cheesecake. Our waitress, Emily, was very nice and attentive. The food and service was great! 🐟 🪼

Recommended by a friend, I was determined to see it through. Not my usual choice seeing as though I do not do sea food. However, my kids love sea food. Seeing that they had a burger for 16 bucks i decided to stay. The place is in a nice location even though parking is limited. Very close to the water and other downtown amenities. There were several restraunts all next to each other and we almost went to one next door that had all you can eat tacos, but it was closed. I ordered two burgers and both looked AMAZING.... but were lacking in taste. The bun was too large and was crispy. The meat was dry and flavorless, and despite covering in ketchup and mayonnaise, I had trouble swallowing it. My kids said the shrimp was good, nothing to rave about, just good. I was beginning to think this place was over rated. The sweat tea was ok, still it was missing that real brewed astringent bite, but tasted ok nonetheless. The waitress was great and despite being pretty busy, attended all of our needs. I probably would not return. I think I will opt for the all you can eat tacos next door. Enjoy!

Best restaurant and food we had during our 4 day trip to Port Aransas and Corpus Christie area in June of 2026. This restaurant offer Happy Hour everyday from 3pm - 6pm which includes 1/2 priced oysters, sushi, and beer and wine. We ordered a dozen oysters and split the fresh catch mahi mahi dinner plate. We had the order split do we paid a small fee to split the sides of baked potatoe, salad, and Mac n cheese. We had more than enough food and left Happy and full. I highly recommend getting to the restaraunt before 5pm on the weekends as the Happy Hour was talked about and popular with visitors and locals.

Food was hot and had a beautiful plating. Very savory meals. Had a great turnaround on orders, from start to finish. Waitress was very attentive and friendly. Portions are a good size.

This is a great place for seafood. The food is always very flavorful, fresh, and well prepared. You can really tell that quality ingredients are used in every dish. The seafood tastes fresh and delicious, and everything is cooked just right. The atmosphere is also very pleasant, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a good meal with family or friends. The servers are friendly, attentive, and always on point. They make sure your table is taken care of and that you have everything you need. Their positive attitude and good service definitely make the dining experience even better. The only downside I noticed was with the salads. The tomatoes were cut into very large pieces, which made them a little difficult to eat. It would be much better if they were cut into smaller pieces. Other than that small detail, everything else was excellent, and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for fresh and tasty seafood.
