If you're in Port Aransas looking for a great breakfast spot, be prepared for a crowd, but don't let the wait scare you away. It's well worth it!

I ordered the breakfast taco and was thinking it was going to be small but it was a large portion, but very tasty, the only thing I didn't like was that the cheese was not melted. I had also ordered a side of two strawberry pancakes and it was just about average.

Outside crunch was a good thickness and the inside flavor was moist and yummy. It came with a homemade remoulade that was the perfect accompaniment. For dinner I had the Crab Crusted Redfish. The crab was mild, the redfish was cooked perfect with a thin line of crisp edges. The risotto was very thick, the consistency of stiff mashed potatoes. Our server was polite and knowledgeable. I will definitely be going back to try more dishes!

Both ribeye and filet mignon were cooked correctly and delicious, with asparagus and scalloped potatoes. But slightly overly priced. We ordered a cheeseburger for our daughter and fish and chips for our other daughter. Both were good. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. Overall, good food, but maybe a bit overpriced. Food for thought.

Please keep in mind they are usually low on staff and are working a lot of tables/people at once. With that said Having breakfast here is always a great way to start your day. it's the type of food that's good for the soul, mind and body. And the service is great they are always nice and friendly. my favorite thing to get here are the pancakes. Please ignore the bad reviews for this place...They must be smoking crack or something.

5/5 Stars! The Ultimate Classy Dining Experience in Port Aransas! We loved it…read more If you are looking to skip the loud, rowdy party scene in town and enjoy an elevated, unforgettable meal, Stout's at the Shore inside Cinnamon Shore is the spot. Whether you want to impress a date, host a stunning bachelorette dinner, or take your family out for a special night, this place delivers on every single level. The bar atmosphere is so welcoming, and the entire ambiance is upscale, classy, and relaxed. The food here is simply next-level. We had: Garlic & Rosemary Focaccia: Do not skip this! It comes served with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and Italian seasoning, absolutely outstanding. Rosemary Chicken: Tender, cooked to absolute perfection, and coated in a divine lemon butter sauce. Paired with garlic mashed potatoes and fresh broccolini, it is a total home run. Chicken Strips & Fries (Kids Meal): Calling this a "kids meal" doesn't do it justice. These are far from ordinary chicken tenders, they are unbelievably flavorful, tender, and moist on the inside with the crispest, perfectly seasoned outer breading. Warm Bread Pudding: Save room for dessert! This was hands-down incredible and the perfect sweet ending to the night. Stout's has quickly become our favorite destination in Port Aransas for a fantastic meal in a beautiful setting. Do yourself a favor and reserve a table, you won't regret it! :)

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would…read more We've eaten seafood all over the Texas coast, and Trout Street Bar & Grill has officially set the bar. Nothing else we've had even comes close. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between coastal charm and an upscale dining experience, and the menu offers something for everyone without feeling overwhelming. What truly separates this place is the quality of the seafood. Knowing the fish is caught locally and often goes from the boat to the kitchen the very next day--and then to your table--is something you can genuinely taste. Every bite was incredibly fresh and cooked perfectly. Great food is one thing, but pairing it with outstanding service, an inviting ambiance, and an obvious passion for quality makes for an unforgettable meal. Trout Street Bar & Grill is hands down the best seafood restaurant we've experienced on the Texas coast. We'll be talking about this meal for a long time, and it'll be our first stop every time we're back in Port Aransas. Freaking amazing! Way to go, Trout Street Bar & Grill. Y'all absolutely nailed it.

The food we ordered was not even warm. It was busy and we did have to wait a bit for our food, but when you wait an extensive amount of time you expect the meal to be hot and fresh, but sadly this was not the case. I am not the one to ask for a free meal I just take it as a bad experience and move on. I did give the waitress my feedback and let her know about the disappointment. It would have been nice for the waitress to mention it to the manager and them come and address the issue. I was not looking to receive a discount but also was not looking to pay over $200 for cold food.

When we finally got our food we had to send back the baked potatoes which were brown and hard inside! Looked like yesterdays prepared! My sons pasta looked like mashed potatoes! The fish was good!
