Went with my mom and roommate for dinner everything was fantastic. Christie's has been around forever and has always been consistent quality. Everything was great. I had the the salmon and it was fresh and flavorful. Roommate scarfed down his blackened catfish and mom enjoyed her gumbo and fried shrimp. The owner was there and was super sweet and talked to my mom about her friends recent passing. My mom's friend loved Christie's and we made sure to have a ceremonial spot for her at dinner. Was a great experience with family and the atmosphere was perfect! 5 stars check it out!

Historic, friendly, professional, delicious. I needed a break from BBQ, so researched some of the oldest restaurants in Houston and found Christie’s. What a pleasant experience! It’s an old school, full service seafood restaurant your parents and grandparents would’ve gone to and been happy to take you. The service is friendly and efficient providing instant comfort. I never felt rushed nor as if I were just another customer to turn. That’s refreshing in this era.

We stopped in on Sunday and had a perfect experience. Wonderful service, a very nice conversation with the owner and the food was excellent. I've never had Shrimp Creole this good anywhere. Amazing! Tried a stuffed Shrimp, which was also great. Hot fresh rolls, cornbread, salads, everything was first rate. The in-laws finally got us to try it and it certainly won't be the last time. Thank You!

The Fried fish, and shrimp etouffee was good. The bread they bring to the table was very fresh & delicious. Service was excellent. You are looking at around $30 per meal.

The oysters are so good. The portions are perfect and the food tastes great. The wait staff is very friendly and the timing between courses and such was as you would want.

A long time standing restaurant in the Houston area. if I remember the story correctly, this is the third generation now running the restaurant. It got decent parking on the side in the back. The food is delicious. I feel like well price for what you get not spectacular. That’s why I’m gonna get them an above average score of four stars five stars that I would say that it’s like one of the better restaurants around Houston. I do find the selection to be Good and I like the place I plan on going back. They have a nice conference room that week that we’ve used as a networking event over the lunch hour the staff are extremely friendly and courteous. The inside is a little dated cause it’s been around again for over three generations I think 50 to 70 years or something like that in the Houston area so we could definitely use a nice upgrade and appearance but not old just feeling Ultimately would recommend food was freshly made seafood taste. Fresh flavors are tasty and I look forward to going back.

I came to Christie’s for the oysters. When they said the oyster dinner had the same (6-8) as an oyster/catfish combo, I got the combo. These had to be baby oysters which they charged at full sized prices. For $28, I expect full sized or more than 6-8 shriveled dime-sized mini bites. And the filets appeared to be tilapia or basa.

I've been a patron of Christie's for over 50 years. My father would take us to the Austin location in special occasions. The food is consistently wonderful, and service is impeccable. I had the oyster stew, which was delicious. The salad is always fresh. I chose the fried oysters, which did not disappoint.
