Christie's Seafood & Steaks in Houston still does old-school Gulf seafood better than anyone, and our family dinner proved it. I had the ginger soy salmon. Glazed, flaky, not overcooked, with a lemon wedge and a side of garlicky sautéed spinach that actually tasted like spinach. My dad went classic with the stuffed shrimp and onion rings plate, two big crab-stuffed shrimp, three golden fried shrimp, and thick-cut rings that stay crispy all the way through. He worked through the cocktail and tartar and loved every bite. Each sister's plate was spot on. One had the seafood platter with a huge piece of fried catfish, fries, a couple fried shrimp and a stuffed crab on the side, exactly the kind of combo Christie's is known for. The other had the baked seafood in foil, bubbling, buttery, loaded with crab and shrimp, rich and comforting. Service was fast and warm, and it was nice to talk to Maria and see Roula again. That personal touch is why this place feels different. It's one of Houston's oldest spots, and stepping in feels like stepping back in time, but the food remains consistently great, and locals will tell you the fried shrimp and seafood platter are some of the best in town. Five stars, easy. We left full, happy, and already planning the next visit.

Had an amazing dinner at Christie’s! The food was outstanding from start to finish. We started with the calamari and fresh salads, and the warm rolls were the perfect touch. For the main course, the blackened shrimp pasta was perfectly seasoned and the fried seafood platter was fresh and crispy. We topped it all off with a delicious dessert. On top of the food, the service was top notch attentive and friendly. This place is a classic for a reason. Highly recommend!

This was my first time eating at Christie's. As a native Houstonian, I don't know why I waited so long to eat here. The food was good. The staff is attentive and friendly. I enjoyed my Greek style grilled red fish and spinach. For an appetizer, I tried the fried crab 🦀 fingers. They were okay, I think sautéed would have been much better. I will definitely be back with friends and family.

Jenna and I had a wonderful lunch at Christie’s Seafood & Steaks! We had driven past this restaurant for years, but this was our first time dining there, and we can’t believe it took us so long to visit this Houston gem. We ordered from the lunch menu—I had the tilapia, and Jenna had the ginger salmon. Both were cooked to perfection! The homemade remoulade sauce was absolutely to die for. We loved it so much that we bought some to take home and try on our salmon burgers. Our waitress, Deanie, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. She shared some fascinating history about Christie’s being Houston’s oldest restaurant and still being operated by the same family. The atmosphere was comfortable, pleasant, and quiet enough to enjoy our meal and conversation. We had a great first experience and will definitely be returning!

Service first of all was wonderful! The food was mediocre at best in taste and none of our dishes were hot and the texture was reflective of food that had been sitting out a bit too long. This was a disappointment seeing that the place came recommended by Chris Shepherd after a short conversation.
