Service was the best we've had on the island. So friendly and attentive. What a great atmosphere. And the food was really good too. Great Pizza! read more

This place was great. But our favorite bartender Amber isn't here anymore Honestly. This place has changed for the worse. Do you know where she's working now??? read more

It's a sports bar. More bar than restaurant. Rude hostess. Manager (owner?) kept the bartender occupied in gossip resulting in slow service and weak margaritas. Pretty sure the kids in the kitchen never washed their hands. Food leaves a lot to be desired. Caesar salad was overdressed, wilted, and warm. Pizza is supposedly their thing - they have a giant pizza oven and warnings about the potential wait. Pizza crust was nicely charred and crispy on the bottom but undercooked in the middle. Place next door looked pretty good. Go there. Not here. read more

Stingrays Taphouse - Sports Bars Near Me - Port Aransas, Texas

We came here on Friday of Memorial Day weekend in a large group, a party of 8. We sat for almost two hours waiting on our food, and then 7 orders came out and the 8th took another 5 minutes to come out. Fried shrimp and fish tacos were acceptable but not exceptional, especially for a beach restaurant, fries tasted frozen and burgers were overcooked and poorly seasoned. The kitchen did not seem capable of handling a holiday crowd, because several other tables had long wait times for food as well. Our waitress was not very attentive as she was also waiting on two other large groups, so an increase in staff could help remedy the service issues. Atmosphere is definitely more bar than restaurant, so be prepared if you have children for a lot of drunken ruckus. In my opinion you would be better off spending your money at an establishment that knows how to run a kitchen efficiently and serves higher quality food for the price! read more

This was a fantastic place for Sunday Football with good food and great service from Amber at the bar. Beer was good and cold. There is so much to see in this place starting with the Stingrays above the bar, all the TVs and decor. The only real knock is the high bar chairs. This vertically challenged adult had to for real jump off! I guess that would make it easy to identify when someone's had too much! . There is outdoor patio seating for those tolerable days or nights. The wings were big and cooked right. Plenty of parking. read more

Good service, and great place to watch game. I would stick to burgers and sandwiches. They have a beautiful pizza oven but the actual Pizza is not very good. Really sweet sauce and tastes like a frozen pizza. Everyone liked the Chips and Queso, the cheesesteak and burgers but Pizza was a let down. Great staff and lots of TVs with outdoor patio as well. read more

Location is great. Right by the beach. Service by Christi was good - she had a great personality. Food - meh. We had the buffalo shrimp which took FOREVER to receive and was just okay. Bloody Mary made the visit worthwhile. I would go back. read more

Ate there for lunch today. It use to be our regular spot to watch sports, eat and drink. It was terrible. Food quality and hospitality was out the door. Asked for a wedge salad no blue cheese, when it came out with blue cheese, sent it back and it was brought back to me with some of the blue cheese scrapped off and other pieces left in the salad. Instead of just making a new salad. No options for dietary restrictions, like Gluten Free. Pizza use to taste great, now it tastes worse than $3 frozen pizza. Not sure if it's new owners or what but, quality and food is down the drain read more

Great sports bar and food! The Cabo Tacos are the best fish tacos I've ever had! The staff and owners are great and the prices are reasonable. Love Heidi as a bar bartender as well! read more

They don't answer the phone. I Called 3 times to make a reservation and they were open - I called from 1:30 - 2:00 - and No one picked up the phone. So I don't know if they can take a reservation for 8. I'm very Leery of showing up at a place with 8 people and without a reservation when they can't answer the phone. That tells me they ARE understaffed like some other reviews indicate. I guess we'll spend our money elsewhere. So we went here anyway. We got split across 2 tables. It's not we'll managed. Think mom n pop run restaurant - good people but not organized. Slow and making it up as they go - not ready for spiky volumes. Got the cheese bites and trio platter. Good. Got reseated to a modified pool table turned into a table. We are so far apart we can't have meeting full conversation. WAMP. The waiter came out saying I'm a terrible liar - I forgot your order of... chicken strips my daughter ordered. Another is waiting for pizza. 2 people of 8 are waiting for their food. Awkward. We're eating - they are not. Another asks for a beer rather than the waiter acknowledging it is low and should be proactively offered. I could never return and be okay with it. read more

I got the chicken tacos and they had ZERO flavor or taste to them and I couldn't even finish them. The server gave me a side of queso but that still didn't help much...the server wasn't the friendliest honestly. The atmosphere wasn't bad/ good music...my fiance said his food was okay. The chips were good but salsa tasted like tomatoe sauce... probably wouldn't come back read more

Went and had a few drinks while in town. Kristie was the bartender and I cannot say enough good things about her. Service was great, attitude was great, and interacted with all of the customers. We ordered the Philly cheesesteak pizza later that night and we were not impressed with it. Other than that a great bar to watch sports and have cold drinks on a hot day. read more

I know better than to go there a d we ended up there again yesterday to watch the game. The service is painfully slow and the pizza is always undercooked. The crust is terrible. read more

Great place for cocktails and appetizers. We had peel and eat shrimp, spinach/ artichoke dip, cheese curds and fried dill pickles (too salty). Good service read more

Don't get the salsa. It's just marinara sauce. Guac is bad too. The service is very bad and it took a long time for our appetizer to come out and they hardly checked on us read more

We went here the other day because they didn't have a wait and everyone one else did. We should have waited! We sat at the table for 2 hours to get our food and when it arrived it was HORRIBLE! read more

Nice sized sports bar with PUH-lenty of nice TVs. The place was PACKED on a late college football Saturday afternoon. It's not a bad place, but it was hot inside (probably due to the amount of people) and quite noisy. They have an outside patio that's dog friendly. They have a full bar and quite a large list of beer on draft and in bottles, but most of them are from the big breweries. There's a small handful of microbrews, but not many. Although I didn't eat there, the food menu looked like a bit of a step above from the usual sports bar. If it wasn't so hot in there, I probably would have eaten there. The reason I chose this place for a cold brew was because of their happy hour specials listed on their website: Thursday 4 PM - 6 PM Friday, Saturday & Sunday 3 PM - 6 PM $1 Off Draft Beer $3 Well Drinks | $3 House Wine However, after receiving my bill, I was charged full price. I inquired with the server, who had to speak to a manager. The manager explained that the info on the website was outdated and needed to be taken down. He also explained that the all you can eat rib Thursday special was no longer good and needed to be taken down. He said it had been mentioned to the owner several times, but to no avail. Regardless, the manager gave us the happy hour prices for our drinks and we were on our way. It's a nice place, so I'll check in on them again in the future and see if their cooling problems have been resolved. Just don't put any trust in the specials you see listed on their website. I just checked and the misinformation is still listed there. read more

went to Stingrays to watch a game and eat dinner. plenty of tv's and seating inside. we decide on a couple appetizers while waiting on pizza (menu states pizza takes 45-60 minutes)- chips w salsa and guacamole, bacon wrapped jalapenos w chicken. Both appetizers ok- normal bar food. Pizzas came out 70 minutes later- i really don't understand why it takes soooo long to get there pizzas out. not crowded and looks like they have a large pizza oven. In the end, not worth waiting on average/good pizza staff friendly and helpful read more

Been in here several times. Waitstaff is top notch friendly and always on their A game. Very pet friendly. Food has never disappointed.

Cool bar and taproom to chill at after a day by the pool or the beach. Didn't try any food, but the drinks were good. Heard the shrimp pizza is amazing! Felt rushed, but could've been because they were short-staffed, so we hope to come back later in the summer! read more

I've been there twice, before going to the Community Theater. The food was great, prices are great, it's just pub grub, but great. Both times I sat at the bar, the bartender was great both times, very knowledgeable and super friendly. I can't remember her name, but both times , I was there about 5.30 in the afternoon. I recommend this place if you are looking for pub grub and a great selection of beers. I do have a few more events for this year at the community theater, I will be going back to this restaurant. It was not super busy when we went but there seems to be lots of regulars, great indication. read more

Great for watching sporting events! service was good although it was not busy at all. The biggest disappointment was the pizza which was why we went there. The crust was somewhere between a pie crust and dried out bread? They have a great pizza oven so they really need to come up with a very good pizza crust to match! Probably won't go back for pizza but for sure to have a beer and watch a game. read more

We ordered burgers and a pepperoni pizza. The burgers were good, but our bacon was forgotten. It was brought out after we mentioned that, and then it was charged as an additional $2.50/burger instead of being rang up as the bacon cheese burger. Our waitress stated she had completely forgotten it. The fries tasted like pre-frozen crinkle fries. They were gross and even the kiddos wouldn't eat them. The pizza was awful. The crust was super flaky and tasted like it was a biscuit mix. It broke apart while holding and/or trying to eat. The kids wouldn't finish their slices. read more

Nico and Emily were the best! We were in town to visit Port A and they were welcoming when we came to watch the Cowboys on Sunday. The Bloody Mary was the best I've ever had. Spicy and awesome. Cheeseburger was great. We also had a personalized pizza which was good as well. Can't say enough great things about Nico and her hospitality. Will be back for sure! read more

Beer selection was great. Loved the location. Service was great. Not a five star due to the AC was not working that day.

Went for their boiled shrimp and were NOT disappointed! Zane was our waiter and he took the very best care of us, even made sure we got to watch our OU girls play in the Women's College World Series (WCWS) final on their biggest tv screen, yay! We were seated quickly which was helpful as we were not up for long waits. Service & food was so great that we went back for dinner there another night! Also...Zane's dad makes a MEAN (as in the BEST) Hornitos tequila Marg on the rocks! Food= FAB, Service also = FAB, we will certainly go back and it is a DEFINITE recommend! read more

A usual favorite for us, however arrived about 12:15pm on a Sunday, they were busy, we stood at the hostess stand, no hostess for 10 minutes , waitres/hostess comes and does not even acknowledge our existence. No "we will be with you shortly " nothing. we walked out, hate having a bad experience but if you're busy you should have a hostess managing the incoming guests or at least acknowledging them. we would have been happy to wait for a table but apparently we were invisible read more

What a cool sports bar! We stopped in to watch some college football. The staff was so friendly. Even with them being short staffed they were still able to tend to everyone. We order the Buffalo Shrimp and Buffalo wings...so good!!! We will definitely be back! read more

This is a very fun place with a really cool vibe. The Coconut Paradise/ Pina Colada was absolutely spot on perfect. Super refreshing. Great live music. Super close to the beach. Thanks Stingrays. Keep it up. read more

We went here first night of vacation on a Sunday night. The food was mediocre. But the service was horrendous. We waited 45 minutes just for the wrong appetizer, had to flag people down to get refills on our drinks.. And then an hour and a half later, our food came out but at that point we were ready to leave. And then had to pay 17% gratuity. What for? No one was helping. They only had outside seating available and it seems they just forgot about the tables outside. Waste of money and time. Do not go here. (It was not even busy) Maybe 10 tables in the whole restaurant. read more

Loved the sports bar. The gal who was working the bar was great but the food took waaaaaay too long. Would come back but wouldnt eat here read more
