SEAFOOD & STEAKS SINCE 1917

The beginning

Christie’s Seafood & Steaks began in 1917 as a small food and drink stand on Galveston’s waterfront.

Vintage ad

Vintage ad when Christie’s at 5911 Bellaire opened. That location was more casual with counter service.
The S. Post Oak store was very small and more for quick pick ups of to go orders.

Relocation

In 1934, Theodore moved the restaurant to the Houston Medical Center where business was booming. He quickly began selling 10,000 fish sandwiches a week!

New recipes

His next innovation was the Seafood Platter, a sampling of broiled or fried shrimp, scallops, oysters and fillets of fish plucked fresh from the Gulf of Mexico.
