The atmosphere is a kind of old school feeling, very appealing, and that lends to the perfection of the food. Best fried shrimp! They are plump and sweet. All the dressings and sauces are made in house, rare in this modern mass produced world. Don't skip on dessert, also made in house.

Another great lunch at Christie’s today. Always enjoy the greeting by Maria. Excellent service and my usual order of fried shrimp with extra remoulade sauce was on point. My wife had the tilapia almondine and loved it. We were even given a piece of a special Greek cake to take home. Looking forward to our next visit.

My mom grew up coming to Christie’s almost 50 years ago- I am in Houston for a couple days for work and she said I HAD to come try it. Happy to say that Christie’s holds up to their reputation! The fried shrimp are the best I’ve ever had. The shrimp are butterflied and the batter is garlicky and well seasoned. They serve entrees with French fries AND onion rings plus salad. My server Jerry was brand new and delivered fantastic service. You have to try this Houston staple that has been around for 108 years! Bonus- The owner Maria was very sweet and welcoming!

The food here was absolutely amazing! We started with the crab cakes and stuffed shrimp both were delicious. For our entrées, we had the grilled snapper and the salmon royale, which is a must-try. Our server was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. We’ll definitely be coming back to this hidden gem soon!

Christie’s Seafood & Steaks is a Houston institution with a welcoming, casual atmosphere. The stuffed snapper, fried shrimp, and other seafood dishes are flavorful and generously portioned. Service is friendly and attentive, often provided by family members, which adds a personal touch. It’s a great spot for family dinners, casual nights out, or anyone craving fresh, well-prepared Gulf Coast seafood. Highly recommend trying their daily specials!

First time my wife and I have eaten here. The food was great, service amazing, and loved hearing the rich history of Christie’s. Highly recommend.

Christie’s Seafood & Steaks is a true Houston institution—it’s actually the city’s oldest restaurant, originally founded in 1917 by a first-generation immigrant from Greece. In 1955, the current family owners came to the U.S. and formed a strong bond with Mr. Christie. Eventually, the restaurant was passed on to them, with one unique condition: the new owner had to adopt the Christie name. The history here runs deep, and the family behind it is just as remarkable. If you’re visiting Houston, this place is a must. And whatever you do, don’t miss the crab balls—they’re unforgettable.

What a wonderful experience. We had my little sister’s engagement party here. The staff, the food, drinks, and setup were all top notch. Loved everything about the banquet room. They helped to make an extremely important event even more lovely. Can’t praise them enough. I’ll definitely consider this team for my next big event and refer them as well!

This was FANTASTIC! We are visiting from San Antonio and came upon Christie’s on Google Maps. I would describe the ambience as old-school classy. The prices were great, especially for the upscale food. Our salads were fresh, crisp and came with homemade dressing. My shrimp Santorini was amazing! Plenty of shrimp, perfectly cooked with a wonderful sauce. The Gulf Snapper Fillet Greek Style was lovely, and the Potatoes Au Gratin was great! We can’t wait to come back and try the fried shrimp.

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.

PRO'S: Christie's Seafood & Steaks is a Houston Institution. Our group had the breaded fried shrimps (fine), rainbow trout (fair) and excellent halibut, a special. We had an excellent white rhone wine with the fish. CON'S: Few dining changes makes visits predictable, both good and bad. SUMMARY: We enjoy Christie's on occasion and will return for great breaded fried shrimp.

I had the opportunity to visit this place on Valentines Day. There was no wait and I had been wanting to try as I’m a huge seafood lover. The food was “unseasoned” and the fish/shrimp that I purchased simple was not good. However the service was great and the drinks were ok. If I do return, it will be solely for the drinks alone NOT FOOD

Had to try because it's been here so long and I've never been. Not bad but not great. We started with crab cakes. They were definitely the most delicious crab cakes I've had. All crab meat, not a lot of breading like some places. They were a bit small but again they were almost entirely crab meat. The lemon butter they came with really made them great. My wife had the ribeye steak and potatoes au gratin. The steak was cooked perfect Medium rare. It had a great char flavor, although it did have quite a bit of fat on it. The potatoes were really delicious creamy and cheesy. I tried the lunch special with two regular fried shrimp and two stuffed shrimp. The regular fried shrimp are pretty good. The breading is light and crispy and had good flavor all on its own. The stuffed shrimp however were a little underwhelming. I think the "stuffing" was supposed to have crab in it but I didn't see or taste any crab. The outside was crispy but It seemed to be just mushy breading on the inside? I'm not sure what happened there really. Wait staff was attentive and friendly. The place was nice inside.
