When we asked for sorbet for our daughter who is lactose free, they said they had watermelon sorbet. That was not sorbet, it was water melon shaved ice. Even after they went to the back to scoop it, it came back completely frozen. I couldn't even insert the spoon in it, much less my 3 year old daughter. The watermelon ice ball came flying out of the cup onto the floor. We picked it up and asked for a different ice cream, and maybe have my daughter try a bit of regular ice cream even though she can't have it. They later brought out another watermelon ice that they had shaved it up a bit more so it wasn't too frozen. It was still frozen like shave ice, but at least my daughter could use her spoon with it.

We were looking for a good ice cream spot on the island last night and visited three different…read moreplaces. It turns out they all serve Blue Bell, which is fine, but we were hoping for something a little more special. We ended up trying this location, and unfortunately, it was a disappointment from the moment we walked in. The shop wasn't very clean, and it seemed like the two employees working were either exhausted or simply not paying attention to basic hygiene. My hot fudge sundae had remnants of other toppings mixed in -- things I definitely didn't order. We almost left, but we were craving a simple ice cream dessert and decided to give it a chance. Once we sat down, I stopped eating pretty quickly. The fudge was cold and tasted low‑quality, with a strange fruity flavor. I even found what seemed like cereal pieces in mine instead of peanuts. It was honestly unpleasant. Maybe after a long day in the sun or drinking, people don't notice these things. But for us, this was a clear no.

We settled on this ice cream shop instead and it left much to be desired. The woman working (not sure if she was the owner?) was not friendly at all and seemed bothered that we were ruining her social hour out front. There were maybe 5 flavors, to choose from and they were all melted. They were sloppily scooped into the cups and dripping all over. There also were no toppings to add like any normal ice cream shop so my kids were bummed. I definitely would not stop here again.

We came inside and immediately were greeted by waitstaff, and sat at a table. Then, after taking our drink orders and bringing it out, our two year old quickly waged battle with his mother's big, tall cup of sprite, throwing it across the table and it landing across his grandmother and the floor and table. The waiter was the sweetest, kindest and most understanding waiter I've ever met, and quickly took care of it, sat us at another table, and we continued with the evening. Our food was absolutely delicious. We had: Children's Mac & cheese, side of pulled pork, fries. Sausage plate with broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. A beef burger that was made with quite a few customizations and fries. Friend shrimp plate with fries. The food was absolutely fresh, hot and amazing!!! We immediately told our waiter (from Jamaica?) how happy we were and tipped him very well, and we will be back! I recommend this to anyone that wants good, hearty food, with a laid-back atmosphere on the island!

Great service! Being on island time has kind of thrown off our internal clocks, we lost track of…read moretime, and when 7pm rolled around we realized we were hungry lol We knew what we wanted MacDaddy's BBQ, during our 7 hour drive to get here we pulled up Yelp to search for some new restaurant options, and after seeing the photos and positive reviews we knew this spot was on our list! What we didn't think about was it being a weekday and closing times, we just goofed! So anyway once we realized the restaurant closed at 8:00pm according to Google we got a little worried, being that I work in a restaurant I know how overwhelming it can be to see customers coming in less than an hour until close, fortunately my hubs double checked here on Yelp and then their website and found the closing time was 8:30pm, so we hopped in the car and got there as soon as we could, and we were relieved to see a few people still eating, and another arriving just after we pulled in. There was a little curfuffle once we were sat, the hostess initially offered us a table with bench seating, but one of us isn't able to sit on a bench due to disability, she kindly offered us a table with chairs, in what appeared to be a different servers section, we were close to the TV on the same wall as the front counter, anyway, after sitting a few minutes Johnathan greeted us and took our drink orders to get us started. The ambiance is so relaxed, there was trivia on a couple of the TV's good music, and lots of cool merch to buy, some of the shirts really made me laugh. We quickly made our selections, hubs got the one meat and two sides and opted for the pork ribs, they were cooked to perfection, and he was delighted considering that we were there the last hour of the day, he really enjoyed his meal, I too opted for the one meat and two sides, selecting the regular sausage, and it was delicious. The highlight was Johnathan, he was friendly, made recommendations, and offered dessert, which we couldn't resist, deciding on the German Chocolate cake, with a side of ice cream. We had to take that to go, we couldn't eat another bite. They have two choices for BBQ sauce, hubs got spicy, and I got regular, and I am glad cuz I'm a yellow bellied tender foot, I tasted the spicy and it IS spicy so for all of you that enjoy the heat, I think you will like their, tomato forward sauce. I usually like to dip each bite of my sausage in BBQ sauce, this particular flavor was just different, I think I will have to try it again, it wasn't typical Texas-esque smoky BBQ sauce, more like ketchup as the base and then flavors and spices added to make it their own, we did find it slightly odd that BBQ sauce doesn't automatically come with the meals, we had to ask for it, but one of the things I REALLY like about MacDaddy's layout is it's a TRUE sit down restaurant with servers vs going thru a cafeteria style line to get our food, ironically as we drove down and talked about wanting to find a BBQ spot, and in that conversation I mentioned that I'd love to find one that's not self serve, being that one of us is disabled it can add a lot of extra work for the other, we come down twice a year if possible and have been doing so for at least 10 years, and had never found a dedicated BBQ place, we have now, the food was good, the service was friendly and the vibe was casual and relaxing, we will definitely be back!

The buffet is very well priced for what you get, while carry-out prices are not so good IMO. I've always been impressed by the quality and freshness of the food... particularly the salad bar and pizzas. You can get a solid, reasonably healthy meal (including beverage) for a reasonable price. When the restaurant is crowded, as happens on weekends and holidays, it's a well-managed chaos. There may be a wait, but it's well-handled through text messaging and there's no need to worry about finding a seat. In summary, Port A Pizzeria is a quality, high-value choice for lunch or dinner in Port Aransas.
