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

Tami Price

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 .

Paul Thompson

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.

Kristin Galvan

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!

Let's Talk About It.

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 .

Katie Carpenter

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!!!

Melanie Mitchell

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.

Jeff Holmes

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.

Paul Davey

Expect to wait for a table, but the food and views are worth it. Great spot for watching the sunset .

Stacey René

They dress your beer in a coozie at the bar...cuz its so humid here evening at night. How sweet huh? :-)

Daddy Bear

First time having the mahi-mahi and it was excellent! Thank you for the suggestion!

Judy

Really great grilled fish sandwich ! Never had a bad meal here and the views are great!!!

Joseph Galvan

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

Melissa Thames

Great view . Good burger and fries and bar food. A little over priced for the fare though.

Julie Hertenberger

Looong Island Iced Tea is delicious

Elaine Nunley

Favorite restaurant in port A, sit by the water and have shrimp cocktail with avocado and cilantro !

Perla

Love the Maui Maui!

Robert Welborn

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.

Lauren Putrino

Deadliest catch is amazing!! Awesome crab legs .

Kirk Odom

Mesquite Smoked Jalapeño Yellow Fin Tuna Dip .

Nela

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!

Brenda Price

Be sure you wear something warm. This place is cold.

Lisa Councilman

Fried shrimp and raw oysters

Sylvia Jourdan

Amazing tuna & oysters

Glenn Taggart

Food was VERY good. Atmosphere good. Prices ok. Service lacking. Food & atmosphere very worth it though.

Laurel Aurie

Babies do not belong at the bar . Get a club

Renee Hobgood

Shrimp & fish

Michael Carney

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 :((

Jena Bonenberger

Service is slow but the waitress is super nice. A little over priced but food was good

Kathleen Holloway

Atmosphere is great but food is nothing special. Calamari was ok. Coconut shrimp was mushy.

Jonathon Nelson

Here's a tip: if your just getting here, find somewhere else to go!

Larry Connor

Ignore the poor service report I had great treatment and the food was tasty

Dan Golder

Dinner was like frozen food ????

Becky Reeves

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.

Lee Chapman

People kind of rude when we walked in so the food better be good or I'm gonna throw someone in the water!

Chris Daniel

Grilled mahi mahi with lemon butter sauce es muy bueno!

Laurel Aurie

Upstairs bar ... Harvey Wallbanger !!!

chase egbert

dtry not to have Jesus as your waiter he is the crazy paruvian with no respect

Alex Khan

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 .

Sarah C

Terrible service, delicious oysters .

Jason Valdez

Great food, bad service, very pricey ...

Stephanie Moyer

No lunch menu . But food was good
