The atmosphere is awesome - just a really cool space! The staff was also very friendly and welcoming. I had a wrap and it was good - the steak was delish and the veggies very fresh. The sweet potato fries were shoestring style, which was unusual, but the were delish! Absolutely the highlight! A fiend had the hand battered fries, which were odd and under seasoned. So I'd avoid those and go for the sweet potato fries for sure!

Had a fantastic experience great service great mgr. Food was great as well. Thank you surf club

This is the best of the Lomax restaurants, consistent food. Burgers with buns made at their central bakery. I crave their nachos and battered fries. Nice fun place to listen to music and drink.

Atmosphere is nice and music is on point when the good weather is on! Good to hang out and food is good !

Good food, great staff, cool atmosphere. Service was a little slow. They were busy and seemed to have some staffing issues All that considered, we will be back soon.

Executive Surf Club (ESC) is an old school bar / live music venue / American food restaurant that has been around since the 80's I believe. It exemplifies Corpus' vibrant and historic "surfing" culture, although the city is less well known for that now. According to their website: "Located on popular Chaparral Street in Corpus Christi Texas the Executive Surf Club is the perfect spot to grab a casual meal, listen to the best in live local music, or simply enjoy the Coast!" As someone who has lived here twice over the last decade or so, I can attest to this statement. In fact, the first time I lived here I worked right across the street. ESC is part of the "Water St. Market" family of restaurants and venues, and sits snuggly in a cozy downtown "market" most visitors and every resident will recognize. It's very inviting, very casual, very interesting. The food is good; above average for American "bar food". The atmosphere and crowd is a great representation of peak South Texas culture, which is why it's such a magnet to visitors during "tourist season". I suppose the thing I enjoy most about the place is its management and staff. Let me explain: like many restaurants of this caliber, it's a revolving door for local youth and such finding their way through life, etc. However, unlike other nearby restaurants (I won't name names), they consistently maintain great service standards. Always friendly, always "South Texas casual" professional. Many visitors to the city invariably end up downtown. It's the nature of visiting new or infrequently visited places. If that should be you, and you are looking for a casual place for a drink, a break, or good meal that fits the bill as I have described, consider stopping by. I doubt you'll be disappointed.
