48 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Aransas Pass

“My most favorite place for brunch 🥂 My greatest challenge is deciding what to order because WOW…it’s all amazing!!! The Benedict choices are all super great 😋 and every Hash is amazing 😋 but the Waffle Tacos are beyond what I can describe with words 😋 The food is amazing, service is excellent, and you can’t beat the relaxing view. My favorite way to spend a weekend morning ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dinner is also amazing, but I am particularly fond of brunch 🧜‍♀️ ☀️“

“I was in Rockport with friends and checked out Main Street Coffee House. I had the “Wildflower”and it was the best lavender latte I have ever had!!! My friends enjoyed their drinks as well. Can’t wait to go back again! Such cute decor and comfortable seating!“

“Best donuts in rockport.“

“Always enjoy getting a cup and reading for awhile. I love the Chipolte chicken wrap, if it’s not already gone!! Whoever is putting on their playlists has great taste!!!“

“This is a must try. The burgers are scrumptious and the menu leaves no stone unturned. Did I mention the burgers? I’m so happy y’all are now 2 blocks from my house.“

“When Starbucks moved into town, we worried it might take away from our favorite local spot, but Aztec Coffee continues to prove why it’s unbeatable! Their coffee is always smooth, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care. The staff knows your name, your order, and makes you feel like part of the family every time you walk in. What we love most is that Aztec isn’t just a coffee shop, it’s a community hub. The cozy atmosphere, the friendly smiles, and the unique drinks you can’t get anywhere else make it the place we’ll always choose. Supporting local feels good ESPECIALLY when the coffee tastes THIS AMAZING! Skip the big chain lines and treat yourself to the real deal at Aztec Coffee. You’ll taste the difference and feel the love. 💙☕“

“If you are looking for a neat little coffe shop, then this is a must! They also have a little boutique inside, and cute little gifts. We were recently there on vacation, and I went 3 days in a row to get the Almond Joy iced coffee. My sister had brought me a S'mores one the 1st day there. I visited everyday while we were on vacation, and now that I am home I wish I had a almond joy iced coffee! It was delicious! I wish I knew how to make it, because that is all I have been thinking about! Definitely will be back next year.“

“Welcoming bartender, friendly staff. LOVED the cheese curds. Big, tasty burgers! Banana Colada very refreshing. Will definitely be back!“

“Raised in South Dakota on Angus beef. Never had a better rib eye anywhere, awesome food.“

“Best place ever! ❤️ Always good food, Good music, GREAT staff! Perfect experience every time!“

“My family and I were visiting from San Antonio and ended our night at Shorty's two of those nights. Great live music and friendly bar staff. I left my debit card there and realized when we were already halfway home Sunday. They mailed it to me in San Antonio! Solid place. We will be back again.“

“nice hangout. Cold beer. we had a great time. First time here definitely would be back.“

“We stopped here Monday 11/3/2025 breakfast at a local restaurant - as we just arrived to Rockport area night before as we'll be here all winter - the Food was OMG so good...Eggs Benedict w/ hashbrowns was so scrumptious... Hubby ordered the French toast....- this will definitely be our go to local place while we're here - portions are large and price is really affordable - staff makes everyone feel welcome.“

“We Loved this place! We ate here for breakfast. The food was great. It was hot, fresh, and served quickly. The staff & service was awesome. The restaurant was clean, and full of sports memorabilia which we absolutely loved. Our server (I think her name was Marie or Maria) was equally as awesome. She took care of all 10 of us, and was super nice and friendly.
We visit Port A often and this was our 1st visit to Coach's.
Definitely won't be our last!“

“Great food! Excellent service. 10/10 recommend!“

“We managed to get here twice during our three days in Aransas Pass. Great place to spend an afternoon. And so much fun tasting the in-house-made wines and beers. We did not go home empty handed. Worth the stop if you’re in Rockport!“

“We had the Kahuka chicken lunch special, tastes great, fresh & large portions. Great lunch spot in Port A.“

“A must-visit for those visiting the island... great food and drink, fun atmosphere, family-friendly, and some of the best live music around!! 👍👍“

“I wish we had discovered the Phoenix on the first night of our vacation in Port A, instead of the last night. I’m willing to bet that the Phoenix has the best menu and finest food within 100+ miles. We had a scrumptious shrimp-topped fried tomato appetizer. Husband enjoyed a gorgeous steak, and I had the triple tail fish with a coconut and pistachio sauce that was very possibly the best fish I’ve ever eaten. The menu has a slight Japanese flair which adds some amazing new flavors to the menu. The sake was incredible while others bragged on the Phoenix Martini.

The atmosphere indoors is not exactly romantic. Very utilitarian and due to its small size, it can get noisy, so don’t be heading there for a quiet candlelit expensive dinner date. The outside eating is lovely however!

Perhaps the only thing that was disappointing was dessert. Coconut cream pie was just a little above average, not sweet enough in our opinion. The lemon blueberry creme brûlée was delicious, but served in a 1/3 cup size metal tin that looked a little like what you might buy in a set of 6 at Costco. Don’t get me wrong…it was very good! Just didn’t compete with our gorgeously plated food earlier in the meal, nor did it look very appetizing sitting there all cold and naked on a white plate! It didn’t keep me from devouring it however, and wishing it was a little bigger!
Service was friendly and fast! We will be back many more times! We made a reservation and I’m glad we did. By the time we left at 7pm on a Thursday night, the restaurant was virtually full.“

“The wait was worth it. The food was very fresh and delicious!“

“FINS Grill And Icehouse.💯♥️“

“1st time here .. Visiting from out of Town Highly Recommended Tried the Brie Appetizer and Wood Fired Pizza. Both Delicious! We tried the Jalapeno Pizza and Pepperoni Pizza (half & half) .. Wow! The Jalapeno Pizza was So Good! Not Spicy .. Just Right! Can't wait to come back and try a Steak!“

“Everything is delicious. Especially love their breakfast tacos. My favorite nopales w/egg and beans. Big cup of coffee with refills We always eat here 2-3 times when in RockPort“

“Bellini’s is back! Or should I say I am back as a returning customer. Fist time there since Harvey. Had great service, crisp tasty Caesar salad. Wife and I had rare Veal Marsala . Thinly sliced , perfect texture and taste , accompanied with fresh fettuccine . Karen and I will be back,“

“Drive over from Corpus to grab a shaved ice from Tropical Sno. The sugar free menu is more extensive than listed online, so make sure to ask. I had the tiger blood. It was super tasty. It comes in a cup with a plastic sleeve with a sorta plate around it to catch drips. We are saving ours to reuse on the next trip. The snow cone guy was really friendly. We will be back.“

“We absolutely enjoyed the dinner at Roosevelts, brunch at 1886 Bar and bartender Noah!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍We raved about it all the way back home. The great food and vibe made the trip worthwhile!

“Hubby & I ate here as visiting for the Winter (from South Dakota)....OMG so amazing - will be back thru the winter stay for sure a few dozen times to keep trying other things....our Waitress Kayla P was super nice, helpful with recommendation suggestions of things to try.“

“Atmosphere, food, view, waitress, & band Steel Water were all so good! Love the way the tables and stools are set up outside! We hope to be back soon! Thank you!“

“Very nice sitting outside. Fine meal and fine margaritas.“

“My husband and I just discovered this little hidden gem. Our waitress Nevaeh was prompt with providing excellent service. Our food( i had beef n broccoli, hubby had Hunan beef) beef in both dishes tender, Hunan dish had enough heat not to over power the rest of the flavors. Veggies were still a bit crisp. We will be returning. I totally recommend this place.“

“Concerning someone’s review about enchiladas burning a styrofoam container:
1) this is great food, I’ve eaten here plenty of times, I’m hung over and about to run to this place to grab some tacos
2) unless you have never ordered enchiladas to-go or delivered I could understand this being an issue, or if you were drunk and wrote the review because you were bummed about the situation….i cannot let this review go unanswered as it’s the year 2025, and anyone who is posting restaurant reviews has enough food experience to know that if you are ordering hot Mexican food, especially enchiladas, to-go and don’t like how affordable food is packed in styrofoam, don’t do it - eat in the restaurant or request a metal container.“

“Me and my best friend made an impromptu trip to the beach and found stingrays on our way to go set up for the day. The Cabo tacos were amazing, just the right amount of spicy and they were grilled just right. Our waitress was fun, attentive, friendly, and overall just a sweetheart! We loved meeting her. She took such good care of us. We’ll be coming back every time we’re in town. Thanks for the vibes!

Ps-get the rum buckets 🤣❤️“

“Everything about BWC is top notch. The staff are all very friendly, helpful and genuine. The food is incredible and there's options for everyone. The best part, as a musician, is the clientele. Everyone listens to the music and gives back the energy you put out on stage. 10/10 would recommend.“

“We had a great lunch experience today, great food and exceptional friendly service. You can't go wrong here! Don't miss the Crazy Cajun!“

“Very fast service, friendly staff and food was excellent!!! We had a bad experience last night at a different restaurant and this restaurant made up!!! I will come back!!!“

“I can only honestly speak of my experience because I've read all the reviews.....my 1st Beach Trip Aug 13-16th....just got home and I'm gonna tell you I can't wait to go back....something must have changed because everybody was so accomodating....from the bar and restaurant staff that had to deal with my group of 28 people and never once blinked at making everything right to the housekeeping that were daily asking us if we needed stuff and quick to help.....I swear I can't wait to make my reservation for next year... they don't advertise anything they aren't and it's the perfect idea of what you need for a Beach Trip....on the beach as close as you can be.....I didn't want to come home....but....til we meet again you sweet people......I Thank You“

“Their Alotta Colada’s are amazing! 🤩 Got ours to go and they were so great getting it ready for us!“

“Edwin is AWESOME.. missing Giggity's alot ... and sad to see Shorty's move , but understand it is the only way to preserve one of the key pieces of this little chunk of sand's history..kudos for making the effort Edwin!!“

“The fish tacos were outstanding and the service (Tyler) excellent.“

“This restaurant did not disappoint. The food was deliciously fresh and the service was impeccable. If I go back to Port A, this will be my first stop for lunch or dinner. By the way, we had lunch on the first day we arrived and ended our last evening with dinner there.“

“Virginia's was one of my first stops as soon as I arrived! I HIGHLY recommend the Yellowfin Tuna from the appetizers menu! I went twice during this visit and brought some home with me!!! I have loved this ever since I tried it years ago. Great job Virginia's!!!“
