Christie's Seafood & Steaks

"Christie’s has served seafood, steaks, and fat Gulf oysters for over 100 years. The dining room resembles an old-school cruise ship deck or the nicest restaurant in a small seaside town. Above every table, a mounted fish gazes down at your crispy fried snapper po’boy, grilled strip sirloin, or pile of golden fried shrimp. This is a great place to go with your family, especially if someone has memories of Christie’s from growing up in Houston or usually asks for a seafood dinner every visit. Plus, nothing will surprise you here, which is why we love it." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi

"Diners at Christie’s Seafood & Steaks have two options for gumbo: a one-protein-wonder Gulf shrimp gumbo or mixed Gulf shrimp and crabmeat gumbo (each served in either a bowl or a cup). Order a bowl to share before getting into larger fried seafood plates or leaning into theme and ordering one of the restaurant’s shrimp, catfish, or fried oyster-stuffed po’ boys. The bright, nautical exterior and traditional interior with long, white-tablecloth tables creates a unique ambience that has attracted Houstonians for years." - Brittany Britto Garley, Minh T.

"An enduring Gulf Coast classic, Christie’s invites diners into its casual, nautical-themed space for seafood favorites. Dishes include a seafood gumbo, crispy fried shrimp, and an oyster BLT po’boy. Located on Westheimer, Christie’s also showcases a variety of whole fish options, including branzino and stuffed flounder." - Marcy de Luna, Brittany Britto Garley

"Christie’s has been serving up seafood and steaks in the Galleria area for over 100 years. The dining room resembles an old-school cruise ship deck or perhaps the nicest restaurant in a small seaside town. There are stuffed fish mounted above every table, likely gazing out over sparkling platters of fat Gulf oysters or crispy fried snapper po’boys. Not to get all corny, but this is a great place to go with a multi-generational group because this is where memories are made for all kinds of people who grew up in Houston.
