Restaurants in Port Aransas

“We ordered Take Out/Pizza Pick up. It was ready way before they said it would be. And probably one of THE best pizzas I’ve ever had! We took the large meat lovers pizza down to the beach and ate it while sitting on the tailgate…watching the full moon. The cheese was super gooey! You could tell it was all very fresh ingredients. I’ve had pizza in 36 different countries and many, many states and this one ranks up at the top!”

“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.”

“Gorgeous location and super cozy atmosphere. Server was super nice. Food was absolutely fantastic and refreshing. I had the tuna stack. Highly recommend. Sauce on it is a little spicy but I love that. Definitely going to come back.”

“Great coffee. The baristas actually seem to know what they're doing. It can be hard to find good coffee shops around here that actually know how to make good classic espresso drinks, but this one does.”

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

“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!”

“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!!!”

“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.”

“The one time we're not hounded by a tip screen, we actually wanted to leave one. The young lady at this establishment could not have been nicer. She insisted we bring our pup up on the deck to get him off the asphalt and gave him a cup of water. She answered our questions politely and served our order promptly and generously. It was nice to see someone appearing to enjoy being at work rather than treat her customers like a chore. Will be back soon just to assuage our no-tip guilt.”

“I don’t like chocolate. That limits Blizzard choices. The employee suggested a Tropical Blizzard with banana, coconut and pecans. It was wonderful. Great employees at this DQ.”

“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.”

“OMG you have to try the Warm Brownie Sunday!!! Best I have ever had!”

“We came to subway for a fast lunch. Traci was the only one here and she was killing it. I've seen subways with one person and normally it's crazy but Ms.Traci did amazing and with a smile the whole time. Good job”

“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.”

“Great place! The food was fantastic! If you're not into screaming kids, not the place for you! It was the Labor Day weekend, but the screaming was annoying.”

“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!”

“Our experience at Castaways was superb! We sat out on the deck and enjoyed the atmosphere. Our server, Emory, was fantastic at catering to all our needs and making our dining experience enjoyable. The coconut shrimp was the best I’ve had and the Crab Boil with Lobster was to die for! It was plenty of food that hit the spot! We will be back next time we visit Port A!”

“Went to this bar and grill and had an awesome experience. We were seated right away, the service was quick, and the wings were huge and packed with flavor. Definitely a spot I’d come back to when I’m craving good food and chill vibes.”

“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”

“Use google to put yourself on the waitlist. Our experience was great. The food was really good and our server, Shelby, was attentive and friendly. The cocktails were great as well. We got coconut shrimp, chicken, fettuccine Alfredo, Tommy, bees, and several other dishes. Thank you for some good food and good service.”

“Just what you expect from whataburger my food was made fresh and my fries made good no complains on my side service was good as well always been a late night snack saver in texas”

“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.”

“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!!!”
