We hadn't been here since before the pandemic, but were looking forward to enjoying a good meal as we traveled through Corpus. We visited at an off time, about 3:30. The hostess was not at her station. Other employees saw us, but did not greet us. We had to wait first for her to appear, and then for her to finish a discussion with other employees. There were only 6 other tables seated, and a few people at the bar, understandable due to the time. The waitress took our appetizer and drink order quickly and brought our drinks efficiently. Our appetizer and entres came out at the same time. Both were cold. I had been looking forward to the onion ring appetizer but was extremely disappointed at the cold, mushy, oily dish we were served. Our shrimp tacos were cold, and the corn tortillas were thin and falling apart. The HOBO fries were just regular fries, tasteless and cold.. The waitress commented that the appetizers do not normally come out with the entre, but didn't make the situation right. Do not waste your money or time. I will never be returning to this establishment due to the terrible, cold food. The pictures are deceiving. Don't be fooled.

Visited Corpus and stopped at the Railroad for a late night dinner after reading their reviews and it being recommended by a local friend. We started with Fried Calamari and the Oysters Rockefeller, their appetizer special of the night. We also had their fish (flounder) and shrimp plate, fried. The calamari was really delicious, probably the best I’ve had in a long time. The Oysters were disappointing. I was expecting to taste fresh oysters, garlic/shallots, butter and a bit of cheese. These however were smothered with too much cheese (I know, I know…there’s no such thing as too much cheese but in this case it was) and the other flavors were overshadowed. The fish and shrimp plate was also disappointing. The fish did not taste fresh. It tasted more like it was a frozen filet, the shrimp were large but somewhat dry. The Hobo Fries were delicious but they skimped on the sweet potato fries, the best part, and the stewed corn side dish was tasteless. Maybe it was too late when we visited so I’ll probably go back and try other dishes.

I reviewed this establishment last year and was thrilled to return unbeknownst to me that my return visit would be so disappointing. My salad was thrown together with no attempt whatsoever to even make it somewhat appealing. This was followed by a bowl of gumbo that was cold and unappetizing. I did order the almost $45 main platter and to be honest the Drum and shrimp where the only reason I gave any stars at all. All of the staff was sitting around on their phone while patrons were being left unattended and clearly looking for assistance. My silverware was extremely dirty, there were gnats flying around me the entire time I ate my meal. So sad because my first experience here was fantastic and this one felt like I was in high school detention. I have to blame management on this loss from me. I will say if you are looking for a fantastic experience go 4 blocks over to Water street and enjoy happy hour from 3-6. I will go there for dinner tomorrow before going back home.

First time customer at this restaurant. Decided to have a birthday party get together with our family. We ordered an appetizer ( I believe it to be the Bock queso and chips) and it took about an hour to receive it. It didn't taste like cheese and had a very weird texture to it My entire family was put off but we were starving at the time so we choked it down.) Then we ordered the redfish platter with two sides. I happen to order the hobo fries and the onion rings. (It was highly recommended) It took a long time for the food to come out. The onion rings didn't even look like onion rings it looked like sauteed onions was some breading here and there. The hobo fries were good. As for the redfish it had really good flavor but unfortunately the fish was overcooked and very tough to eat. They decided to go ahead and replace those dinners then we chose the The red fish tacos. We had to wait a quite a bit of time before that came out as well. When it came out the tacos had good flavor but unfortunately they were still overcooked. We knew it was getting late and we decided that we wanted to go ahead and get the bread pudding. We were told that it would have to be to go because how late it was. When they brought out the bread pudding it didn't even look appetizing it wasn't even consistent portions. When we brought it home, it tasted okay I've had better. My family all agree that this would be the last time that we ever stepped foot into this restaurant. It was a bad experience and a really bad experience especially on somebody's birthday. So if you're reading this post, think about what we had to go through and ask yourself do you want to go through the same thing that we...

Worst experience I have had at a restaurant in quite sometime. We came in on May 13th for some dinner and drinks before the hooks game. It was my birthday and we hoped for some good food and service. The restaurant was packed due to a concert at The American Bank Center as well. Any downtown/ SEA district restaurants should be staffed and ready for this. We ordered 2 margaritas and onion rings. It took us 20 minutes to get the margaritas and the onion rings came out as soggy ,greasy onion strings piled on a plate. We went ahead and ordered a second margarita as soon as we got the the first due to long wait. I ordered a tuna steak salad and my boyfriend a shrimp quesadilla. We waited an additional 20 minutes for our drinks (2nd round). When we finally got our food and 2nd round we decided to order 2 martinis. When we questioned the wait, our server told us that the bartender was new and had no idea what he was doing. Never offered to get a manager. The salad was dry and the dressing tasteless. The quesadillas were gross and had a pile of grease dripping off of them. We almost cancelled our martini order and still, server says sorry... she then later informs me that this restaurant always has issues and management runs it poorly. Sadly, we were 30 minutes late for the hooks game, dissatisfied, out $60 , not even a slight buzz from the weak drinks and I didnt even get birthday dessert. This place needs some help,big time. It seems to have so much potential and the service staff is drowning it.

Doubt I would return unless it was to just...

Southwest Eggrolls were great app however, been sitting here waiting for our meals for almost an hour now. Looking around and barely anyone has food on their tables.. Terrible service.

Update after finally getting food After an hour wait we got our food. Well everyone at my table did, except me as I was told my grilled shrimp tacos were still not ready. Unfortunately, everyone's food at the table was warm and not hot. On top of that the waitress didn't even apologize for the extended wait. After waiting 5 min for my tacos the waitress then came to the table without my food saying, "they made them with corn tortillas and not flour like your ordered, is that okay?" I simply replied with no, I'd like what I ordered. After 5 more minutes I received my grilled shrimp tacos. They looked delicious but I was disappointed to find 2 shrimp in each of the two tacos. 2.. really? $15 for two tacos with just two shrimp in each?

We were really looking forward to this place but was very disappointed in the service. We even talked and gave our waitress the benefit of the doubt saying before we left that she was going to come apologize for the poor service and what not but she never did. It was kind of like she was avoiding us because she knew we were having a negative experience. But nope, nothing. She made sure to write a big thank you with a smiley at the bottom of our receipts though right next to the...
