    From the daily buffet salad bar
    Glenn T.

    The food is plentiful and excellent; with prompt attentive service. Very friendly ambiance (too bad that Yelp can't recognize synonyms) and they remember who you are and what drinks you prefer after a few visits.

    We arrived around 1 pm and the Port Cafe was kind of quiet. It's a small town kind of place but the food exceeds expectations. The waitress was friendly and helpful and said that everything was good- which turned out to be true! Soft drinks and tea were served in quart sized mason jars and I had to use two hands to lift it. I ordered chalupas which were served classic style with ground beef, cheese and sour cream. Hubby had the BEAST- bacon, egg, avocado, spinach and toast and said it was good. Friends had the Port Burrito (it was big and he ate the whole thing) and the Poor Boy with shrimp. We all loved our food. The restaurant has a buffet - one for breakfast and one for lunch. We were given complimentary peach cobbler as we were there close to closing time and it was very tasty. There isn't a lot to see in Freeport but if you're there, this would be the place to stop!

    Love this place! Been coming here for years and the food is always fresh and delicious!! We always bring family here when they are in town! During the week they have a huge lunch buffet with a salad bar. Highly recommend!

    Ice cold egg ordered soft boiled came out hard boiled and cold.

    Soooo this is the last time I review restaurants in this area they all just disappoint. I really wanted to have a good review on this but unfortunately it was horrible all the way around. There was one other table and it was breakfast. We waited almost 30 minutes after eating to get our food. The biscuits and gravy were packaged gravy on either stale or burnt biscuits I couldn't tell you which. And my sons pancakes were just ok while he asked for a soft boiled egg which came out hard boiled and literally freezing cold like it was cooked yesterday thrown in the fridge and then on his place. IHOP is better then this place every single time! I'm just going to start accepting that less the. Mediocre food is all that's over here. My best advice is to keep driving down 288 til you hit pearland atleast if you want decent food.

    It really doesn't look like much from the outside. We would have never stopped except for the good reviews. This is precisely what you want a dive cafe to be. The kids split a cheeseburger and fries. (I tried it) The fries were HUGE and not soggy like big hand made fries usually turn out. These were nice and crispy outside and creamy inside. Perfect. The burger was delicious. High quality beef nice and thick and some sort of sharp cheddar cheese. Very flavorful. On a buttery bun. Wife and I did the lunch buffet. The cheese enchiladas were a little bland but a little homemade salsa spiced them right up. The beef tips were excellent as well and the meat loaf and the chicken fried steak. The sides were great too. I loved the green beans. My wife thought they were a bit salty. Cabbage was spot on. The people sitting next to us ordered breakfast for lunch and I must say I was a bit jealous. It looked SOOOO good. Table service was very genuine and friendly. Will definitely be coming back again.

    Wonderful find on our trip to Surfside Beach! We wanted a full breakfast before hitting the sand but had our small dog with us. Since it was after regular breakfast hours, we were skeptical of locating somewhere nearby still serving. But, found this cafe not so far from us and the polite young lady who answered my call inquiring about pets encouraged us to come. Once there, we were able sit on the outdoor patio and our server was so attentive to us and welcoming. The menu was extensive and our meals were beautifully prepared. Port Cafe is a gem if you're staying in the area.

    Sausage and cheese omelet with a side of sausage.  This normally has hash browns and toast too but I had them hold them.
    Jon H.

    Really nice diner. It does not look very big from the outside but it is surprisingly big on the inside. The omelet was good, but very greasy. In my opinion, the omelet was a bit high on price but the side of sausage was ridiculously cheap. Parking can be a bit tricky. The front of the store parking is not set up well but there is parking along the side of the building. They offer a lunch buffet, but I am not sure what is offered on it. Current buffet price shows to be $11.95. The table cloths are a bit in need of replacing but not terrible. They offer indoors and outdoor dining. Definitely worth the trip.

    Mix Grill

    We stopped for breakfast and was NOT disappointed! The mixed grill was amazing and bursting with flavor. It's a small quaint dive. But don't let that fool you. Go inside and enjoy a great breakfast with friendly folks

    The brunch buffet was really good. 15 people walked in after us and they handled the crowd no problem.

    We were apprehensive because the place isn't much to look at (clean and tidy but small) but the food was great! Friendly service too!

    Breakfast all day. A lot of choices to fill you up. Lunch menu and buffet also looked scrumptious.

    Seems like a neat place, we must have just come at the wrong time of year. Sunny outside, but air…read morewas chilly and a bit windy. Our greeting when we came in was not the most friendly, woman behind the bar didn't even smile and mumbled something that I assume was our greeting. Our server, though nice, seemed very new and inexperienced. But she seemed to be nervously trying to do a good jobl My drink order never was what I ordered. I think there was confusion with the server and woman behind the bar. Our server didn't seem old enough to serve it to me, it was broght over by bar tender. It was pricey for not ever really getting what I requested. The day we were there, they had one of the garage doors open and the front door as well. It was so cold in there, we almost left to go elsewhere as I suspected the food would be cold before it got to the table to be eaten. After our 2nd request, they finally closed the one garage door,, but was still a bit chilly. Then they told us they just put the heater on. (the heater helped but have entry door open to bring food in from food trailer) We didn't realize the food was made in an outside trailer and walked inside. I got the crawfish tail ? Ettofee baked potato ? Ettofee sp?. Although The potato was well baked, and the sauce was Very good, there was only 4 or 5 very small crawfish tails on it. I ended up taking it home with me as it just wouldn't stay warm enough for me to eat more of it. I wish they would of had some type of thermal box, or cover to bring the food in from the outside trailer to the table... My husband had a mushroom swiss burger which was good, and some really delicious flat shaped fries, but again, keeping our food warm enough to eat it was not the best situation. There were some really good looking things on the menu, but it was just too cold in there that day. During nice weather, I'm sure our experience would have been much better, as it seems like a really nice place with a very nice patio with great view.

    Had a little staycation in Galveston for NYE. We took the south route home and wanted some lunch…read more Belly's popped up on the map and it had great reviews so we stopped in SO WORTH IT! Their patio and views were amazing and so relaxing. The cutest restaurant indoor/outdoor. We also had our dog which they accommodated with some water. She also made friends with the sweet manager Erin (i think! Hopefully we got it right). Food was good and vibes were better. Will definitely be stopping by next time we are going to or coming from Galveston.
