Nolan's - Corpus Christi

Love their food and everything about the atmosphere! The staff is amazing and love that it is a locally owned Family business.Food: 5/5

Ordered a hamburger and fries. Both came out hot and it was probably the best burger I’ve had in ages. They use a regular hamburger bun, I’m tired of the brioche and Hawaiian buns a lot of places have switched over to. This was just an excellent old fashioned burger. Afterwards my wife and I shared a piece of carrot cake. It was a nice portion and moist. They have a nice selection of cakes and they are always good. The staff was courteous and helpful even with a huge party going on in the back room they didn’t seem too busy or overwhelmed to help.

There was a huge party going on in the back ,but you would have never known it , the service was very good and we got our food in a timely manner. I think they were holding my food until my husband's was ready because my French fries were cold , but they gave me a fresh order that was hot. I had a Chicken Fried Steak it was very good, and I appreciate that they have a smaller one that is not the size of a dinner plate. I also had a side of fried okra that was hot and crispy. However, for a southern restaurant that asks, cream gravy or brown gravy , they have no concept of cream gravy( which I have been eating and making for over 50 years) it is more a yellow chicken gravy and if I was not from the south, I would be happy. I split a piece of carrot cake with my husband that was delicious and moist, and the frosting was not overly sweet.Parking: This is in a strip center with other businesses, and there is plenty of parking.

Good food and great, friendly service in a down home setting. Can get a little noisy during the dinner rush, but due to the pay first and name call out setup, there is no confusion on orders. Self-service drinks and an active table bussing system keeps the traffic flow around the floor busy, but not cluttered. Great choice for some American kitchen/ home-style comfort food.

Food was good overall. However, the hushpuppies and fish were over cooked.Food: 3/5
