Coastal Bend Bar & Grill

If I could give this no stars, I would. Waited for about 30 minutes, the bartender/waiter kept looking at us and never helped us. Only served people that were sitting at the bar. Finally got up and left and went to the food place across from it.

I walked in, not a staff member in sight. Customers sitting in booths, so I took a seat, waited 10 mins for a girl to come from the kitchen doors. Asked for a menu, then she disappeared again for another 10min or so. Finally, I ordered quickly, just chicken tenders and onion rings. Came to around $20 (obviously standard airport prices). But the onion rings were so salty I didn't bother eating. The chicken tenders are so hard and dry I had to drown the first 1 in ketchup to finish it, then I left the other two, and onion rings paid and left. Overpriced terrible food. You'll be better off getting a sandwich at the cafe next door or snacks at a store there. Don't waste your money on this place.

Waited 20 min for a menu and another 10 for our order to be taken just to be told they wouldnt have it ready in the next 20 min prior to our flight. They were also out of Chicken tenders and chicken wings. That being said, only come here if you have 1.5 hours to spare. Gentlemen was nice about it but still would not recommend.

Extremely bad service. It seemed like nobody was working there. All the waiters just were on their phones, talking to each other or on the phone. I had to wait a long time to get any service. They missed a part of my order and didnt ask what size of the beer I wanted. They just assumed I wanted a large beer (22 fl oz). And it seemed like there was a party going on in the kitchen. The whole place seemed like a daycare for the employees. A lot of staff, but nobody actually working. Do yourself a favour and eat before entering the security at the airport. There arent many options and this is the worst.

Anyone giving this place a more than 2 star review has to be an employee or one of their friends. First the service is horrible. The bartender was taking order and had no patience for anyone. At one point she just left the place unattended to go talk on her phone. Then the food was horrible. The brisket taste like something you'd buy at a store and heat in a microwave. The buns for the sliders were dry and stale. If you can manage to grab something to eat before getting here or just waiting until you leave, I would highly recommend either. Since they're the only place to eat I feel like they feel like they don't have to put forth any effort.
