“I saw Cathy at my job cuz she was picking some stuff up. I asked her if she would put two gumbo aside. When I got there after work she wasn't there but the other lady was very nice. She offered to let me taste it but I declined. I'm having it now for dinner and I love it. I love the spices and the right amount of kick to it. The gumbo is shrimp and crab and it's delicious. I would definitely get this again.”

“I tried White's for the first time today and WOW! The food was incredible. Everything was on point. Brisket had excellent fat distribution, great flavor and it was tender. I am a huge fan of the BBQ sauce as well, perfect balance of savory, sweet and spicy in my book. The carrot cake was phenomenal too. Fall spices and not too sweet.

10/10 recommend”

“The lady Candice H. is amazing super friendly”

“Homey atmosphere..50 + years in business..food a bit bland but salt gets you there. Staff ..our waitress was perfect. Homemade tortillas and a hometown feel where everyone who's there seems to know each others name kinda thing. Great hot sauce. A kid friendly for sure and even BLTs..a once a weeker.

Vegetarian options: Salads and rice and beans

Kid-friendliness: Food friendly for sure ..big place. Sit where u want. Lots of room between tables”

“Food was good. We arrived about 45 minutes from closing time so we were one of the only tables in the dining room but it took a long time to get our food and service was just OK. They were probably busy with the closing duties. Margarita was terrible. Would go back though and would recommend.”

“Waitress was really nice, restaurant & bathrooms were clean. My parents really liked the fried chicken & onion rings. My husband had carne guisada & it was good. I had chicken flautas & my niece had enchiladas, it was good just needed a little bit of seasoning but that's just my opinion.”

“Drive through. Excellent chicken flautas, huevos rancheros are good rolled up in the included tortillas. Also had the corn with mayonnaise and hot sauce. I really enjoy this corn dish. The drinks are really good. We had the strawberry and the melon. Taste is faithful to the fruit and is mixed with ice. Lots better than carbonated beverages. Also have had excellent tamales which are white corn massa with no included meat. Surprisingly good with a sweet taste. Service at the drive through is quick and good for a good pickup meal.”

“A very polite young man made the best salted Caramel truffle blizzard I've ever had yesterday. You could teach the Seven Points and Mabank Dairy Queens how to make them ;)”

“I ordered the shredded chicken enchiladas with white cheese sauce. It came with rice and beans. I ask for some green sauce, because I like a little picante. The food came out hot and was very tasty.The portions was good size. It was not oily or greasy like other places I eaten I cleaned up the plate.”

“Absolutely delicious! Drove through Port Lavaca on our way home from Rockport and decided to stop in and support the local economy (vs a chain restaurant) and so glad we did! Got a #24 and #25 and both were delicious! The habanero sauce is HOT!!!!! and chips were thick and crispy!!!!”

“We just got a blizzard from thier! It was really good!! We went thru the drive thru! It was actually pretty quick service! He was like a one man crew taking orders drive thru and doing dine in order! The gentleman that waited on us was very fast!”

“We have breakfast tacos from here most days. They are hot delicious and cooked to order. We just love their lunch specials too!! Great food and wonderful service.”

“We enjoyed our gorditas! I had beef and Jen had the pork. We drove through, so the atmosphere score doesn't really reflect on the inside but I'm sure it's ok. Service was good, we ordered and he asked us to pull around front. The wait was quick. One thing I didn't like was the condition of the menu. I didn't know what to order or how much it cost. They need to fix that.”

“Always a must when we are in Port Lavaca! Food is amazing, home cooking, a little bit of everything for everyone and we always love to see our favorite waitress! #rootbeer #footballplayer The Magic Oreo Pancakes are the best! Chicken Fried Steak is hand battered and definitely share size! Family and budget friendly!”

“Fajita was moist and had that grilled taste. Their carne guisada is what you expected and not over spiced or that extra taste of cumin. Aguas frescas were delicious (lemonade and jamaica).”

“Food is excellent. Service also. I do recommend.”
