“LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE, I stayed here with my 2 dogs in Oct 2023 at the small blue cabin. And we didn't want to leave the view was soooooo beautiful and that back porch was just as peaceful as it gets! I will be back and I highly highly recommend.“
“Absolutely delicious buffets. There is something for all tastes. For 3 people only around $60, for all you can eat, absolutely OK.But the best thing by far was the service. Thank you for the excellent service. (a very friendley girl from California, sorry i forgot your name)“
“Awesome place! We were looking for a place to eat after getting into Aransas Pass for the weekend. We came here based off of reviews and we weren’t disappointed! Food was amazing, the service was great, and the views were beautiful! We will definitely be back.“
“The pastries are so good! I got a raspberry turnover and it was flakey, sweet and delicious. Others in my party got cupcakes and cinnamon rolls. They heated the cinnamon rolls up for us and they were delicious too. Some tables inside. Staff was great.“
“I love the food here most of the time. Matter of fact I would eat here every time I go fishing if it was not for the weekend brunch menu. The only thing keeping this place from 5 stars is how they handle their brunch. Is their brunch menu on the weekend is over priced and the food is average at best. I will spend just as much at breakfast as I do on lunch or dinner but unlike there other meals the food for brunch is bland and the portions small. During their brunch times they do not offer there normal menu. Because of this I will only eat at this location when they are offering their normal items. Now, their normal menu is out of this world. I have tried almost everything, and it is all good. My favorites are the Seared Tuna, Island Boy Burger (sounds weird but try it, it will not disappoint), and the Shrimp Etouffee. Also, you have to try the Anchor Balls. They also have a nice selection of beer. I just wish they would have a standard Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner hours and menus.“
“Wonderful, service-hearted staff from the hotel to the restaurant. Jen at the front desk gave us a tour without hesitation so we could see more of the rooms. Really recommend the FDR suite for 2+ day stays. Great food! Beautiful rooms, and in great shape for the building’s age and for being in a beach town. You can tell the management and staff really care about the maintenance of everything.Food & drinks: Roosevelt’s was so good, and the photos on Google don’t do it justice. Wish I’d remembered to take photos, but it’s more of a cozy, rustic fine dining restaurant than as casual as it appeared to us on the photos. But the bar, 1886 next door, offers a limited version of Roosevelt’s menu, a more casual atmosphere and great drinks.“

“We've been there twice. The first time, we got sushi and it was very good. I do want to go back and try their hibachi at some point. But their Chinese entrees are pretty lacking. My husband got the Sesame Chicken, which was overly sweet. I got the General Tso's... it has a chili next to it on the menu, but there is absolutely no spice whatsoever.I think if we only stuck to sushi, I would have given it 5 stars. But the entrees are very lacking.“
“Great food! Bring a big appetite. Wild and very busy on a Friday night ! Our server Frankie Benavides was terrific!! Prices comparable to other big name restaurants on the water. We ate outside and the views were great- and the area fishermen were coming in to the boat ramp, totally enjoyed the experience“
“We gave pasted this hidden gem for the past few years we've been coming down here, my advice DON'T PASSUP THE CHANCE TO EAT HERE!!! Food was incredible, atmosphere is great, and the service was on point!! It's been here for 46 years for a reason!!“
“Very good place...excellent service...the waiter attentive at all times to what we needed...very delicious food...in the United States Mexican food is difficult to match...but here it is much better. .at least they don't put chedar cheese on everything...I give it a 100 rating and of course I will return“
“This place is fantastic!! The food is great with a HUGE menu. The staff are fantastic!! 3 games of bingo every night 6, 7, 8, and no cost. The winner gets a $10.00 gift card. Darts, pool, outdoor patio. It's just an all-around great place. Stop in and check them out!! Family friendly, and very reasonable prices.“

“Not sure why this shows us as a sushi restaurant as there was no sushi on the menu. I would place it more online with being a seafood restaurant.Good food but almost felt overpriced for what it was. We were a group of six so we ordered three entrees and some appetizers and shared which worked well.“
“This place was great! Our server was friendly and on top of things. The atmosphere is nice and the low light gives it the traditional steakhouse feel. The food came out hot and was delicious, everyone at the table had to sample each other's meals.“
“The overall customer experience was spot on. The entire staff were friendly, polite, professional, and every one of them had a smile. We took our own fish, and it was cooked to perfection. The drink selection was plentiful. Their dinner rolls are served hot and some of the best I have enjoyed.....especially after adding butter. The key lime pie is a must!!!! Everyone enjoyed their sides and if there is any suggestion to be given, it would be to include a baked potato to the menu.“
“This place had AMAZING food! Elevated flavors with that classic fresh seafood that you may be craving. I highly recommend the mermaid soup, exquisite! For dinner, we had scallops and the seafood enchiladas ...it was all amazing. So very good! My scallops were the biggest I've ever seen, and they melted in my mouth! I'll be remember this meal for a long time! ??“
“Their appetizer fries with crab was amazing!My sister and I shared a plate that came with 1 lb of crawfish and 1/2 a pound of shrimp and 2 snow crabs. It was delicious, we got the surging crab seasoning, which is all seasonings. The only thing I recommend is that, if you like spicy food, go for the fire flavor because spicy was not spicy at all.The place is a bit small and customer service was good!!Kid-friendliness: They give you a kids menu with activities and crayons for the kids to color and do the activities on it.“
“Cannot speak highly enough about the refresh of the Black Marlin. We took the family for dinner one night and then brunch on Sunday. The food and service were absolutely fantastic. We had everything from the pasta Diablo to the ribeye for dinner and it was the best food I have had on the island. For brunch we had the eggs Benedict, steak and eggs, American breakfast and beignets. If you are port A you have to try this place!“
“Very tasty! My husband and I both got crawfish po-boys and we shared the crab stuffed fried avocado -- that's avocado is a MUST, it was divine. I could've eaten it as my whole meal!Great affordable cocktails and beer as well. Will definitely keep this one in the books for late night munchies since nothing else on the island is open past 9.“
“This isn’t a five star restaurant, but the prices are maybe two stars, so it’s a great bargain. Nice folks, too. I eat here all the time. In case that first line is confusing, let’s just say the food, service and atmosphere is all very good!“
