snoopy's pier

go to snoopy's pier if you like old fried sea food, laughing gulls attacking you and a general bad smell!! oh and a alcohol drink limit 3 per person and an hour plus wait!!! i would not recomend going to this so called resturant

stopped here after a day fun on the water. the menu is very limited. the crab cakes and fish were fresh and delicious l, but the sides left us wanting... the fries were of the frozen variety, and the rice was bland. the only decent side was their slaw. it was certainly disappointing.

everything is fried. two people cost $40. we could've gone to long john silver's, gotten the same thing & spent a lot less.

ft. worth mobile. heard the hype, believed it, so disappointed. fourteen in our group, three fourths of the food went in the trash. out of oysters & crab early saturday evening, really ? greasy fish, chewy shrimp. the one good item .... the jalapeño poppers! the staff was great as well.

love this place!!. whenever i am in corpus this is a place that i have to eat at. the food is wonderful and the atmosphere is amazing.

yummy, combo plates. fried plate, 4@shrimp, fish,oyster. best fish! the batter took second fiddle the fish was fresh meaty flaky and delicious.

worth the drive. we order the dinner specisl: baked mahi mahi with rice and cole slaw. dinner was healthy and mm mm good.

awesome seafood! fresh describes it best i think, most things are deep fried but the oil is fresh & as a result don't feel too heavy. self serve home made tartar sauce is a real plus!

why aren't there more like this?!!. this is the only place that has a deck on the water in corpus!! the fish is delicious and fresh, the beer nice and cold, and the atmosphere nice relaxed for all to enjoy. it's a treat for anyone just looking to have some great tipical seafood fare, kickback a few brewskies, and enjoy some quality time while watching an amazing sunset. by the way, bring cash!! they don't take plastic. they have an atm but it's going to cost you.
and in the case you don't want seafood, scoopy's has some kickin' sandwiches and salads for those watching their figure.

oldguy59. go back about 2 years the fried fish was better the fried shrimp was the best and the boiled shrimp basket was awesome basket filled with shrimp heads still on tons of flavor but the mass of people every weekend has changed this great place and now quality is way down and prices are up

great food and wonderful atmosphere. i enjoy this place so much. we always bring family and friends from out of town to enjoy the atmosphere and food.

today's fish was mahi mahi. pretty good as the fish and chips meal. french fries sucked. the crab cake was pretty good and the coleslaw was not your typical slaw. it had more of a poppy seed,dressing that was nice. rice was bland and basic. beer was,nice and cold.

too long of a wait. we waited for 45 minutes... the food is like appetizer foods that you eat while drinking beers with your food, the food tasted good, but it is only small size portions, this is no place for lunch or dinner with family... i took my family to eat there and we spent $74.00 and we ended up having to buy a box of chicken on the way home cause the kids were still hungry... and no my kids are not fat... this an outdoors eating place, go after 8:00pm or the sun really gets you

i agree with previous posters, it’s somewhat refined fried food, right on the water. apparently they harvest their own shrimp — not sure why you’d want food that fresh fried, but hey it’s a texas thing. great family spot. a bit on the pricey side for a fish shack but the locals swear by it. it gets a full point for location alone.

ok, so it's pretty much all fried food, which is hard to really mess up. still, snoopy's does a better job at serving up fried seafood than most places. as proof of that, i submit the half-sampler, a plate with two fried shrimp, two pieces of fried fish, and two fried oysters (though on mine, there were four fried oysters; i didn't complain then, and i'm not complaining now), plus french fries and a small, possibly only symbolic, ramekin of coleslaw. 

of the three meats, the fish was the best. the pieces were good sized, and lightly fried in very hot oil to come out crispy, juicy and delectable. the seasonings in the batter were subtle but pleasing, and the fish was cooked through without being allowed to overcook by even a few seconds. 

well, no; no; i'm going to say the oysters. they were the best. delicious little nuggets of highly-seasoned shellfish, crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. cha', bé, don't you know that how they s'posed to be, mais yeah.
i take it back: the shrimp were the best. though there were only two (and the quantity of cocktail sauce was, shall we say, understated), they had an excellent flavour and a superb texture. and i'm one of those people who eats the tail shells, thanks to my proper finishing school in loozianny, so i know from shrimp texture. if i could have only one meat course, it'd have to be the shrimp.

well. ok, i can't decide. even the fries were very well done, and i find that's true less often than you'd think. my only complaint has to be that this half-sampler doesn't come with hushpuppies, and i believe it's an assertion i couldn't challenged were snoopy's pier to assert that it has the best hush puppies in the whole world. luckily for me, the friend i was with, poor benighted soul, doesn't like hushpuppies, and so i got his. mmmm.

one other fact of note: we arrived just before sunset on a partly-cloudy day, and got the last table on the back deck. the sun went down dramatically beyond the laguna madre, and suddenly we were alone. everybody comes for the show as well as the food.
