There is always a breeze in this classic Port A restaurant & the views of the waterfront/marina can't be beat! Try a burger , blackened fish sandwich or fresh ahi tuna salad . There's a bar upstairs too
Great service & even better food! Get the Cajun Dump if you want a mixture of spicy crab , shrimp & sausage . The Clam chowder was yummy. The peel & eat shrimp is a better deal than the shrimp cocktail .
Changed my order to ensure complete satisfaction. The Mahi-Mahi sandwich was delicious. Get the table in the far right corner as you walk in for the view in the picture.
I'm a huge stickler about po boys (being from Louisiana) and I was highly impressed with their oyster po boy . Amazing service and yummy crab cakes ! We will definitely be visiting again.
Virginia's sits right by the water, so the view is quite wonderful (for Texas's coast, that is). They have great margaritas and plenty of space upstairs to drink them while you wait to be sat.
Crab cake meat is nice fine texture w/a light crunchy coating. 2 crab cakes in a serving. Hushpuppies are dreamy dipped in melted butter!
I had Virginia's crab dip and a pound of peel and eat shrimp . Delish. Get a Mai Tai w/ a Myers Dark rum float. Beautiful view .
I love it!!! Awesome pina coladas , smoked tuna dip , crab boil and fried sea food . It's kind if pricey , but you're on vacation. By far my fav. Place in Port A!!!
Used to love this place, but will never go back after having the manager be the rudest person on the island . View is great, waitstaff is great... but the hostess/manager ruins it all.
My claim chowder was interesting, overdone rubber clam , and a mix of overdone and raw potatoes . My shrimp were tastless. And my wife's shrimp cocktail , the shrimp still needed to be peeled.
Expect to wait for a table, but the food and views are worth it. Great spot for watching the sunset .
They dress your beer in a coozie at the bar...cuz its so humid here evening at night. How sweet huh? :-)
First time having the mahi-mahi and it was excellent! Thank you for the suggestion!
Really great grilled fish sandwich ! Never had a bad meal here and the views are great!!!
The service and food were on point. Wife and I had po boys and I highly recommend them.
Check out this seafood restaurant in Port A where you can watch the boats come in. This beach town was featured in Laura Griffin's suspense novel SNAPPED. Read more
Great view . Good burger and fries and bar food. A little over priced for the fare though.
Looong Island Iced Tea is delicious
Some of the best food in port a! Great Cajun shrimp and calamari !
Favorite restaurant in port A, sit by the water and have shrimp cocktail with avocado and cilantro !
Love the Maui Maui!
Left after 30 minutes without anyone coming to take our order. Maybe 3 other tables were filled. Lot’s of waitstaff standing around watching TV’s and talking.
Deadliest catch is amazing!! Awesome crab legs .
Mesquite Smoked Jalapeño Yellow Fin Tuna Dip .
Delicious!
Our experience with the food and customer service was great.
Great food great atmosphere!
Try the Garlic Mahi ! Just Awesome.
Absolutely NOTHING!!!!!!!!! Do not dine here! It doesn’t matter the view ! The staff and management are the worst I’ve ever seen and I’m in the service industry!
Be sure you wear something warm. This place is cold.
Fried shrimp and raw oysters
Amazing tuna & oysters
Food was VERY good. Atmosphere good. Prices ok. Service lacking. Food & atmosphere very worth it though.
Babies do not belong at the bar . Get a club
Shrimp & fish
Have gone many times and it has always been good but now they have new people and it sucked once we got seated the waiter sucked and the management was no better would not recommend :((
Service is slow but the waitress is super nice. A little over priced but food was good
Atmosphere is great but food is nothing special. Calamari was ok. Coconut shrimp was mushy.
Here's a tip: if your just getting here, find somewhere else to go!
Ignore the poor service report I had great treatment and the food was tasty
Dinner was like frozen food ????
Overpriced. Bad food. Bad service. When we asked if the $20 fish entrees were caught locally (the restaurant is literally on the beach ) we were told "no everything is frozen." Pity.
People kind of rude when we walked in so the food better be good or I'm gonna throw someone in the water!
Grilled mahi mahi with lemon butter sauce es muy bueno!
Upstairs bar ... Harvey Wallbanger !!!
dtry not to have Jesus as your waiter he is the crazy paruvian with no respect
I wish the service matched the food. The waiter refused to split a check even though the menu said it was possible. Waiter (David) was rude. Food was delicious, a little expensive .
Terrible service, delicious oysters .
Great food, bad service, very pricey ...
No lunch menu . But food was good
Awesome food. I recommend the blackened shrimp tacos, crabby cake sandwiches, grilled shrimp, and chicken tenders(huge!) - Melissa Ellard
Shrimp Larisha is excellent when adding sauteed mushrooms to the bowl of shrimp. Great choice for a lighter lunch w/ rice and steamed zucchini & yellow squash. Our server, William is great. - Lisa ER
Streaks looked great(@ next table). Snow crab boil very filling and tasty. Good service. Great ambiance. Has souvenir store. - Yo johnnie
We always go on the FREE ferry at least once on our trips to Port A and be sure to look for the dolphins who love to follow the ferry! - Elizabeth Hall
Cocktails, cold beer, marina scene, friendly bar keeps...and the available menu and walk up food service just next door. Excellent fried seafood baskets and sandwiches. LIVE MUSIC! - dink murphey
