Christie's Seafood Steaks - Houston

If you love seafood, and are tired of red lobster, come here. I swung by looking for a shrimp poboy, and I wasn't disappointed. Great atmosphere, incredibly professional staff. It was a tremendous experience all around.

Good portion sizes. Nice selection of fresh fish. Visited for the first time on a Thursday evening around 6:40 pm. We were greeted and sat immediately. Our server Maria V was great! The fish tasted fresh but overall the food was bland (lacked seasoning). I appreciated the complimentary hot dinner rolls. The house salad was bland. They served some of thickest cut calamari I’ve ever had. It lacked seasoning/flavor and tasted a bit rubbery to me. It may be the worst I’ve ever had. I ordered the blackened salmon (5oz) with au gratin potatoes. The salmon was prepared the way I requested it. The potatoes had an interesting flavor. Not bad just different. I paid $16.18 for this meal. My cousin ordered Bronzini prepared Greek style pan broiled with olive oil, lemon and oregano. He also had a berry iced tea. They charge for refills on tea. It took an hour to get our entrees. The server did explain the whole fish took longer to prepare. The atmosphere was quiet with low lighting. Very relaxing. Many of the patrons are elderly Caucasian people.

We, two visits here for the second time on Tuesday 8/2/2022 at 7 p.m. Even if the restaurant closes at 8 pm, we still got a first-class customer service. The staff was welcoming. We sat immediately and we were not rushed to order or finish our meals. Our server Deani was great! The food was good, seemed fresh, was a good portion of size and was delivered quickly. We had prepared the 5 oz salmon. Mine was blackmailed. My cousins were soy style? We also had the au gratin potatoes that are one of my favorite items on the menu, and green beans. The food has not much to season, but adding salt and pepper to me has done the job. I had a frozen mango margarita that was good. The dinner salad that came with the meal was nothing special, but I liked the Spanfer Ranch Dressing. They also serve dinner rolls with the meal. Food is cheap. The atmosphere was calm. The decor was nautical. I'd come back.

We went to Christie's for a milestone birthday (I could have chosen somewhere, but I chose Christie's). As always, it was incredible. The drinks were delicious the icy beer was served in frost cups as it should be. The soup (Crayfish Bisque) was loaded with cancer yummy, but would have used a little more sherry pepper. Salad were fresh ranch dressing delish. Love her garlic warriors. And surely the main course for all of us was the roasted shrimp they have known for over 100 years. It is the best in this part of Texas crispy roasted on the outside, but NOT greasy or strongly baked, cooked with huge butterfly shrimps inside to perfection. I love mine with her homemade remolaude sauce, while my mother prefers her red cocktail sauce with her can also not go wrong. For my side, I had broccoli, which comes as a massive part, to take so much home. Then, for my birthday party, they brought me a huge piece of the best chocolate cake I've ever had with Icing that tasted like Fudge. To share a lot. All in all, except for the lack of our regular servers, Amalia, it was a perfect meal with large staff to complete the celebration.

First time at Christie's and I was pretty blown away with how good all the side dishes were. Everything from the luscious au gratin potatoes, to the fluffy dirty rice, to the simple but perfectly crunchy fresh coleslaw were all clearly made in house with care. The calamari appetizer was lightly battered perfectly crispy but a little on the salty side (the tomato dipping sauce was excellent). My blackened fish sandwich seriously lacked flavor but I'm hoping it was a one off. My friend's fried seafood platter looked really good but I think the restaurant could benefit from offering a lunch menu, since most entrees are above $25.
