10. Virginia's On The Bay

We come to Port A yearly and have done so for years. Regrettably, I hadn't tried Virgina's. Power was out to a portion of the island, including Virginia's, yet this place was electric. We were told immediately that power was out, that they could still serve cold plates and the beer was iced down. We ordered beer, peel-n-eat shrimp and smoked yellow fin tuna dip. The shrimp had a bit if seasoning that didn't mask the shrimp. The tuna had a slight hint of smoke with great mix of heat from jalapenos. Soon after getting our selections, the power came back on and we marveled at how it came on before the first pitch of the ASTROS ALDS started.Great views of boats, Gulf of Mexico and an innovative menu.

I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner at Moby Dick's. The food is typical island fare, nothing fancy but large portions and well-prepared. I got fried shrimp and found it to be tasty and satisfying. The service was friendly and efficient. Moby Dick's is priced about the same as other island restaurants. The pirate decor makes it a fun place for kids and adults alike.

Took an extended weekend trip to Port Aransas to unwind on the beach. Wanted to patronize the local businesses still recovering from Hurricane Harvey in 2017. This one came recommended by the local "things to do" book. No fancy stuff here, just great food, reasonable prices, with a number of seafood dishes and the baby back ribs dumped on a craft paper covered table. Some dishes that include shrimp, crab, crawfish will "get your hands dirty."

Service was good, however, a bit pricey. Location was on a marina, but really no view of anything except boats. Had crab cake sliders which were pretty good, but somewhat bland. Husband had shrimp po boy and also thought didn't have much flavor. Really sick that night and don't know if that was coincidental or not.

We wanted to have a few drinks and a bite, but there were two of us being joined by three more. Well, they would not let us put tables together to sit as a group! And the bar area was almost empty! NOT an issue of available tables... We were also trying to be courteous not taking up a large table for a few drinks and bites.We did fudge it in our seating and order some snacks, which were very tasty.Food good.Management bad.

We had been to Rooseveltâs before Harvey so we expected a great dining experience. I had chicken breast stuffed with crab and shrimp and it was wonderful. Our waitress was Melinda aka MelIShe did everything perfectly. I highly recommend both. Itâs a 2 hr drive for us but we are already wondering when can we go again

This restaurant was recommended by an acquaintance and we were excited to try it out. Got there at opening, as suggested, and were seated immediately. Service was very good, wishing I could say the same for the food. Started with the crab, shrimp mango ceviche which was nice and light. Plenty of seafood inside and the homemade chips were a nice touch. Wife ordered the gluten free rice pasta with shrimp. The dish came without any shrimp so we sent it back only for it to return with a bowl of steamed shrimp next to it, which had no flavor as they werenât cooked in the pasta. The right thing to do would be remake the dish with the shrimp in it, or at bare minimum mix the shrimp into the dish instead of sending out a bowl of shrimp. Didnât resemble the description as it didnât have sprouts and the sauce was primarily tomato sauce and sriracha.I ordered the rare tuna taco and the fish was cooked perfectly. However the tuna taste gets lost in the tortilla and fixings. On the second taco I just ate the filling and it was much better. The place filled up quickly and by the time we left had people waiting to get in. We felt like we were maybe we were there on an off day?? There are a number of other dishes that looked good so we may give it another try.

The last beach shack in Port Aransas on top of the wave.
Reviewed By Terry D
Weekend fishing trip to Port A and just had to stop at our favorite seafood restaurant. As usual everything was fantastic. Those folks really know how to prepare seafood. We each had flounder and it was great. The only mar is that this restaurant does accept credit cards, however they do have an ATM in the building in case you need some extra cash.
