Never had an issue before, but DAMN, chicken and biscuits were $34 and change only to get shorted, so I called. The girl literally had nothing to say, so I let her know that I just wanted them to know we were shorted, and not for nothing, we have other choices..nothing. So I said ok thank you and she said ok and hung up. I guess they no longer have to care :'(

Came here for a family dinner. Great location and awesome water views! One of those places that…read morethe ambiance views is enough to make patrons return. People were actually fishing right outside by the parking lot too which looked relaxing... Now for the food. We started off with appetizers and it was oysters and poke tuna tower. Not an oyster person myself. Brother in law and wife had them and they enjoyed them saying they were fresh. The poke tuna tower was good but it lacked salt and needed more sauce. It seemed like the sauce was only on the plate and not mixed with the ingredients. But the ingredients were fresh and the chips were served hot with some seasoning on them. For mains we had "Fish n Chips" and a bowl of clam chowder. Well it was more of a cup as they forgot we had ordered a bowl. Flavor was there but the temp was like warm and I'm a type that wants it a little more hot. The "Fish n Chips" for me wasn't the traditional plate when you read the name of the dish. Fish n Chips for me is flaky strips of fish or beer battered. This fish was more of a solid piece and breaded. But the seasoning was amazing!! The flavor was there so that made it up for me. But I'm a guru to fish n chips so I had a different vision of it. We did upgrade to the mahi mahi on it and that was really tendered. The fries were a little bland and the sweet potatoes fries were really chewing and dry. The menu had some great options that we want to try therefore we will be back to return again. Our server was on point! Great service and all with him dealing with 2 big group parties including ours. Think his name was Victor. Again, I highly recommend this and we cannot wait to go again!!

TLDR: Waterfront seafood restaurant (often busy, with a long wait for dinner) with delicious food…read more(still thinking about the pecan snapper and key lime pie). Good kids menu with the option to add protein (chicken or carnitas). This place exceeded my expectations. I did set them fairly low considering this is a touristy waterfront type of restaurant. FOOD: Delicious food here! Large menu too. Good clam chowder -- I only got a small cup but it was generously clammy. My grilled shrimp was good but usually most places can get that right. The asparagus side was cooked just right -- still had that crisp to it. However, the show stealer was hubby's pecan snapper. It was a big portion. The fish was also thick with a nice thin breading. Really dang good. I don't often grab dessert but I'm a fan of key lime pie -- their version did not disappoint. Delicious. KIDS FOOD: One of the best kids menus I've seen in a while. They've got a few deep fried options (chicken, fish, shrimp, corn dogs) as well as not fried (grilled cheese or mac and cheese). The part that really stood out was the option to add chicken, carnitas, or bacon to the mac and cheese. I got my son the mac and cheese with chicken on the side and they brought a large plate of chicken! It was delicious diced chicken too -- my son loved it! It was great to have a kid-friendly protein option since it's always fried junk or carbs galore. I should also add that the mac and cheese was real macaroni with melted cheese on top (not that fake goopy boxed type mac and cheese). They offer crayons and coloring paper to keep kids occupied while they wait. WAIT: I see a lot of negative reviews for the long wait. I mean -- it's a popular place, should you really hold that against them? I would probably avoid this spot for dinner on a weekend for this reason. We came for lunch on a Saturday (midday). There was no wait and we got a window table (we requested one). VIBE: Exactly what I wanted. Nice view of the water -- saw lots of fishing boats go by, a cool bird, and even a dolphin! The place is large and full of people but it's also pretty spacious with enough room between tables. SERVICE: Friendly and pretty attentive. BATHROOM: Cool chalkboard walls where you can leave your thoughts. There were some charmingly positive sentiments written in my stall. PARKING: Limited spots right outside of the restaurant but there is a large lot where people park their boats next door. No issue finding a spot there (early Saturday afternoon).

That will prevent me from probably going back whenever I'm in town. I would think that most of the population nowadays is non-smoking so I would not allow smoking at the bar where most people wanna sit, but maybe outside on the lower level where the grass area is. Put some tables and what not out there. The wings I had the second night were not cooked through. This really could be a great location with the smoking I think is gonna kill most of the business that would go there. Just my feedback.

They have THE BEST BLT IN CREATION! Ok, I normally wouldn't…read morerave about a BLT, because it's such a basic, no frills item, but...when it all comes together perfectly, YUM! First, to be honest, although I try not to eat bacon, I do love it. And at Poor Man's there is so much bacon that my dog is so excited when it's delivered because she just knows she's getting hers. Its perfectly constructed with just the exact amount of lettuce, tomato, mayo and excess bacon on toasted garlic bread. Served with fries that can be delicious or overly spiced; I guess the chefs mood. My only complaint is their hours, which is why I usually get it delivered. To me they close too early (although I have to keep reminding myself this is Rockport), and I never seem to have the right day. But its all good, because when I do have it I savor it.

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.

We decided to eat here one night because it was only about a mile from our beach rental. We planned…read moreto grab some tiki drinks at Tiki Jays, take the outside and watch the baby run around for a while, then eat dinner. Everything about this place was great except one thing. They furnished the place with chairs that look like replicas of those old-fashioned metal/wood chairs we used before they started making one piece desk/chair combos with molded plastic seats. They really looked nice in the venue. But, unfortunately, they were horribly loud whenever you moved them. It just echoed through the place every time someone sat down. NOTE to owner/manager: Go buy several cans of tennis balls. Cut an X in them and shove them on the feet of the chairs. That is what school teachers have done for years. Okay... back to the more important stuff. The drinks here were really good. I knew I could only have one as the driver. Two and I would have hiked home on the beach. Good cocktails seem to be a theme at most Port Aransas restaurants. For my meal, I chose the meatball hoagie. It was really good, even it it wasn't the kind I grew up on in New Jersey. The roll was toasted and crunchy. The meatballs were obviously house made. The sauce was perfect. I had the chopped Italian salad as my side. It goes right into my top ten salads of all time. It had so many good things thrown together that I won't even bother to list them. Just trust me... It was a great salad. I expected this to be a super expensive venue. It is in the Cinnamon Shores Resort complex. That is a pretty upscale place, in general. But really, this meal, even with the drinks, was no more than a family dinner at a San Antonio Italian restaurant. The service here was great. I didn't keep any receipts on this trip, so I don't remember our servers name, but she was fantastic.
