Portis Kountry Kitchen LLC — Restaurant in Corpus Christi

Coming hot off of The Texas Bucket List, the Mrs. and I were excited to try some soul food done right. I was relieved that they relocated to their own restaurant, because the previous one was hidden inside another building. Unfortunately, there are only specific dishes for specific days. We arrived on a Tuesday, so we tried the beef tips, fried chicken, and a porkchop. The accompanied sides were mac and cheese, yams, cabbage, and fried green tomatoes. The fried chicken was fresh and crispy, though it was a bit under seasoned. Not bad, but no better than if you made a batch at home with your mom. The beef tips were tasty, although the portion was on the smaller side and the beef could have been a bit more tender personally. The side porkchop was fine, though needed more salt. The sides were quite disappointing as well. The mac was oddly very sweet. They also lacked that cheesiness you would expect from such a beloved dish. The yams were sweet as well. That is to be more expected, but they were sweeter than what we're used to and were sitting in a syrup base. Honestly, I would suggest putting those yams inside of a pie crust instead and turn it into a dessert. The cornbread was sweet as well, but I welcomed it. The fried green tomatoes were fine, though again, needed a bit more seasoning. Overall service was great, and the atmosphere was nice. In the end, I would take this joint with a grain of salt. Though, there seems to not be much competition in the city...

Now, onto the food. I had the fried pork chops, and let me tell you, they were sheer perfection! Golden brown and crispy on the outside, yet so juicy on the inside—I’m still dreaming about them. The sweet potatoes were hands down the best I've ever tasted, and the macaroni? Oh, it was creamy, rich, and absolutely indulgent. The only downside was that I couldn't eat another bite, though I definitely wanted more.

I’m not sure if I can brag enough about the service—it's truly that amazing. The team at Portos Kountry Kitchen goes above and beyond to make sure your dining experience is unforgettable....

We had a fantastic brunch meal on Saturday,. I think l just died & went to heaven! My meal of peach waffles & fried chicken wings was amazing. I had the grits & fried green tomatoes as my sides. The sauce that comes with the fried tomatoes was soooo good, l dipped my chicken in it& loved every bite! My hubby had the fried chicken plate with cheesy grits& cabbage, He thoroughly enjoyed it & even had to ask for an extra serving of cabbage. He said the cornbread was also great. I can’t attest to that since he didn’t offer me any. Ha Needles to say, we had no leftovers because it was so darn good we couldn’t stop eating. The restaurant decor was so cozy & clean. The servers were so friendly & attentive. They had a saxophonist playing live music. It was explained to us that the menu changes daily & all the food is prepared from scratch so you have to check their facebook to see what is being served each day & the weekly & weekend menu are different. Our waitress says some people call every day to see what’s being prepared & they don’t mind that. We will definitely be back to sample more of the menu when get lucky enough to travel back to Corpus. Thanks Portis Kountry Kitchen for a...
