Kody's Restaurant - Fried Shrimp Sandwich - American Near Me - Port Aransas, Texas

Kody's was a place we researched before coming to Port Aransas. We stayed close by and couldn't wait to give the place a try. What a disappointment! We walked in and had to wait for the bartender/waitress to the explain her family members eye surgery to the locals at the bar before she was able to acknowledge four customers walking in to spend money. Food was mediocre at best and the establishment was smoky and ran down. The vibe we got was locals who smoked cigarettes at the bar were far more important than tourists who would probably never return. People spend your money elsewhere! read more

If you're in the area and you're looking for a chill type place to watch some sports and have some drinks, this place does just that. The food is not the main attraction but overall it was not terrible food wise. Bartender/hostess was friendly. Overall not a bad place. read more

First off I've been coming down to Port A since I was a kid and understand wait times at dinner but this was a joke. It's 8:30PM and we have been waiting for our food for an hour and a half now. We have 2 little kids who are starving and we haven't even gotten our appetizers for a little something to eat. Kitchen is a joke and won't get return business from me. read more

A local suggested this place. He said the food was very good. Ok. Here's the deal. You order at the bar, which by the way this is. The seafood platter is $25. I thought that seemed a little on the cheap side for two fish fillets. 4 shrimp and some fried oysters, fries and slaw. Well you get what you pay for. I'm sure they had at one time fresh grease. All I could taste was old grease and chewy fried shrimp. The fish is way over battered and once again the old grease is overpowering. The coleslaw was straight out of Sysco carton. It was pretty bad for seafood. I bet the burgers are delicious read more

No type of customer service. Walked in at 10:30 pm and no one even said hi. After a few minutes of waiting for service I finally asked if anyone would help us and the bartender finally said something about ordering at the bar. She had two people at her bar top so she wasn't busy, just decided to ignore us. 0/0 would never come back here again. read more

We came to this place reading that it was family friendly. Once you walk in you get a big breath of smoke that smacks you in the face. We sat outside and the food was delivered... the cheeseburger was great but the garlic fried fish special was much different than the pictures that was posted. It was thick and in two big chunks not worth the price in my opinion. We brought our kids to play mini golf afterwards. On and around the holes we found trash consisting of old beer bottles and beer cans (that have been there for quite a while), old to go boxes, kids socks that were laying around the back nine, a fork, and a bunch of cigarette butts on the ground. The holes have been neglected and need a lot of work. The last hole had a wire cage over it which was broken/cut up which poses a hazard especially to kids. I'd be confident to say this place is not family friendly but the burger is good. read more

Perfect place for frozen burger patties to dirty grill! And if you enjoy grease, you will love the amount you receive with your drink cups. In addition to these lovely items, you can also experience the horrid smell of mold/mildew when you walk in the door. read more

Awesome atmosphere, awesome drinks, qnd super awesome cause the kitchen stays open until 1 AM. Sadly, the food is crap. Fried bar food is expected, but heavy breading and over oxidized cooking oil permeate the experience. Don't get me wrong, it fills the belly, but the food doesn't i.press, even after speaking with the head cook. But don't let that stop you from coming here. Atmosphere and bar staff are top notch. read more

Loved the outside seating. The menu choice was to my liking. I was there in the off season so we sat and it was calm and casual. Don't know what height of tourist season will bring but I'd be back read more

I appreciate that they were the ONLY place open on Christmas on Port Aransas besides the gas station. All volunteer workers and it was still very well managed! The fried fish was pretty good and she was loving her fried shrimp. Yes, I'd go back again for the full menu. read more

A dive bar trying to pass for a restaurant. We stood at the front counter waiting to order for about 10 minutes behind a group of guys that had been drinking and then ordered double Bacardis and double vodkas. There's only 1 person working the bar and the register. The kitchen was way behind. The order from the 6 guys in front of us was the only order in front of us. (There were only 3 tables with people) The kitchen manager went back and forth to the office several times and then mostly stood around looking confused. The kitchen couldn't manage to keep track of more than one table's order at a time. So we waited 30 minutes for 4 pieces of overcooked fried shrimp. The food runners, nor the cashier ever came by to check on us or to offer an explanations. Hard Pass. read more

Used to be a good place to eat. Won't be back. Service was non existent. Had to ask for utensils more than once. Ordered all you can eat catfish. I got 4 bite sized pieces. Took over 1/2 hr and 4 requests to get a few more. Restaurant was 25% capacity on a Friday night at dinner time. read more

Very dark inside, my husband said the fried oysters were good but my Bloody Mary was not, nor my steak sandwich. I love dive bars but usually they are friendly and busy. We were about the only ones there very boring. So many good restaurants in PA that I wish we would have not wasted our time read more

This place looks like a dive, but don't be fooled. The food is fresh, hot, reasonably priced. The deep fried crab stuffed avocado is unique and very crab heavy. Perfectly ripened avocado. The fried green tomatoes were crisp. The house salad at $3.99 came with house-made dressings. The grilled grouper was perfectly seasoned and very fresh. Mild fish taste let you know that it hasn't been sitting around in the refrigerator for days. If you're looking for a place with good seafood where you can afford to take your family in Port Aransas, this is it. read more

This is an order at the bar and then find a table establishment. It's way over priced. The fried shrimp tasted funny and no one at our table finished their food.

Prime rib 'Special' on Thursday nite is a pretty good deal of $26 for salad, twice baked potatoe, and 16 oz. A "dive" bar with outdoor seating on a deck or inside with dark atmosphere. read more

Passable fare at reasonable prices from pleasant staff. Cuban sandwich was tasty with well toasted cheese notes overlaying the usual ham & other meats flavors, plus pickle & mustard tastiness. French fries arrived piping hot, though lacking a crispy crunchy outside. Mayo dipping sauce was a step above average. Ketchup was ketchup. I'd gladly hit up Kody's for a repeat performance if my time in the area allows read more

First time here for prime rib. We have come before for drinks and their prices are good although the vodka sodas are pretty weak. So...the prime rib was super fatty and on the verge of too cold to eat. The salad was okay but the twice baked half a potato was under cooked and the area near the skin was still hard. I'm unimpressed. For 25 bucks I expected better. We will come back but for bottles beers only. Thanks anyway. read more

ate here two out of three nights while in port a. fried green tomatoes were spot on, fried stuffed avocado is a must.

We came in for lunch . Everything was sooooo delicious! Food seasoned perfectly and came out hot. Friendly staff. The building had a Port Aransas small island vibe. Nothing fancy, but I don't want fancy. Will come back soon. read more

Wish I could delete all my original negative reviews of Kodys because they've done a complete 180 IMO. Most important, they've eliminated what used to be real bad cigarette smoke smell. Their evening menu is excellent especially the grilled tuna. I asked that it be cooked between rare and medium rare and it was perfect. And it was served hot which is a real big deal to me. read more

Terrible service here. I walked in and was not greeted. The lady behind the bar area finally acknowledges me just to tell me I need a mask or to get out. Atleast greet your customer and say hello. I will spend my money elsewhere. I don't like being snapped at immediately and won't return to this unprofessional type behavior. We ended up at Fin's where we received exceptional service and food. read more
