The food was delicious!! They make an excellent mushroom cheesy risotto with a blackened fish of the day, my husband had a cob salad with a nice size blackened shrimp. Anchor balls are most try for appetizers and the MARGARITAS very good as well. The ambience by the water is relaxing and nice view if catch a sunset. Our server took a little while to get to us but once she did everything went smoothly. Will definitely return!! read more

Saturday night dinner out and this place was a day care with kids screaming. Margaritas suck and greasy appetizers. Prices sky high for entrees. Limited menu and we were the only customers in the joint at 6pm. The waitress discussed the issue with management in the kitchen and the manager shook his head in discussed as he looked my wife in the eye across the restaurant. Hmmmmm. NOPE!!!!! Best tip, never dine at a place with zero cars in their parking lot on a Saturday night!!! read more

Love this little restaurant!! The staff, the owners and the food are always amazing. Love the ambiance and everyone is so friendly and welcoming. We've going there for years and will continue read more

Usually a great place to bring out of town visitors for brunch, but today was terrible. Slow, unmotivated staff, which meant slow table turns, really slow kitchen. Overall it seemed like they were uninterested in any customer experience. The food was good except for the Avocado Benedict special my wife ordered - it was terrible. They need to invest in some shade and service for people waiting. It took 2 hours & 15 mins start to finish, 55 mins wait for a table, over an hour for food, we ate in 10 minutes. The kids picnic table they seated us at was pitiful. Our waitress was trying to be responsive, but she evidently wasn't able to motivate the rest of the staff. We will avoid brunch going forward, but frankly, this was one of the worst experiences we have ever had. Be prepared if you decide to try it. read more

My shrimp boil was excellent! Perfectly seasoned. My husband's "Poor Boy" was dry. Service was excellent!

The shrimp and grits were bursting with flavor. Generous portion. My husband got the fisherman's platter. It was a platter of fried fish, shrimp, and fries. Step outside the box, people. The scallops looked great, too. The chef did an outstanding job of combining flavors. The bloody Mary was probably the worst I've ever had. It looked great, but don't be fooled. The service was slow but ok. Don't go if you are looking for fast food and fast service. read more

This was my first time at coasters since it changed from RFW a couple years ago. The atmosphere has not changed much besides so decor but the food has SIGNIFICANTLY improved. I was in a group and the service was incredible. We tried the wimpy burger which was delicious highly recommend for anyone that loves spice; they have a good selection for the small bar and the beer is ice cold. The seating right on the water is perfect for lunch and dinner. read more

On our way back home from vacationing on Padre Island, we decided to pamper ourselves at Candlewood Suites Aransas Pass. The first thing we asked Joshua, the desk clerk, ... "Where can we get some good seafood? It just doesn't make sense to vacation on the Gulf coast and not eat seafood!" The first place he mentioned was "Coaster's", so we headed out. The Fish Platter and Fish of the Day were awsome! We were sooo full!! After my wife's crazy Bloody Mary and my pineapple tequila shots and beer, we were happy vacationers! Our server, Mackenzie R, was very attentive without being over-bearing (you know th' type). She laughed at my dumb jokes, and served us with a smile, anyway. The food came fast and the drinks were even faster. We only stayed in Aransas Pass two nights, but I'm gald we found Coaster's. read more

Coasters - This insane Bloody Mary! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Aransas Pass, Texas

Wonderful, laid back, and friendly restaurant with a great vibe and excellent food! Our server, McKenzie was outstanding, super nice, and very attentive. I had the most amazing coastal salad (with steak added). Lots of Keto-friendly options compared to other places we've dined at. The dining area is inside but open and airy (roller doors partially opened); the sea breeze greets you softly at your table. There's also a patio area outside where you can chill out and have a drink, a smoke, and watch the gulls yammer away. We'll definitely swing back here before we leave! The wife's wanting the eggs Benedict served on Saturday and Sunday only (come on, man! :--) XOXO read more

We were really pleased to find the food here to be outstanding. We made two different trips on our stay and both times the food was outstanding. On the first trip we ordered an appetizer of the fried buffalo chicken balls which I did not expect to be much. They turned out to be surprisingly delicious. My friend had the fried fish and shrimp platter. He said they were the best fried shrimp he's ever had. I ordered the fish if they say which came blackened in a delicious sauce with risotto and vegetables. It was outstanding. Our second visit we had the crawfish cake appetizer which was delicious. I had the Captains pasta with the beurre blanc sauce and shrimp and steak, and a side salad. My friend had the filet with a side of 4 fried shrimp and a side salad. It was all amazing. We both grew up in the restaurant business, and we asked to meet the chef. I hope this restaurant keeps up this level of food and service; It's rare to find! read more

Nice place. Friendly staff. The service was slow due to staff members in training. The shrimp and mussels were cooked good. I recommend the restaurant but not close to closing, you might get lost in the shuffle as staff member are cleaning to close. We did choose to dime at this facility during spring break which might explained the slow service. I look forward to dining during non tourist season. read more

Great service and food. Also the vibe is friendly and coastal. We had shrimp and fish and a great ceaser salad. We will be back! read more

Awesome food and service. Food proportions are very large and very tasty. Server was always coming around to refill drinks before I could finish mine. Good view, nice weather when I was there too. read more

The fried shrimp and fish were excellent! Service was good even though the one waitress was overloaded. The ambience was outstanding with views over the water, marina, and boat launching from the giant forklift next door. read more

The food was great and fresh. Perfect spot on the water. Waitress was attentive and did amazing. Highly recommend!

Unbelievable find!!! A locals fine dining seafood restaurant on the water!!! The chefs really know their stuff. Seriously trained I assume. read more

On the bay outdoor only seating unless you're sitting at the bar. The atmosphere was relaxed, welcoming and breezy. About $100 for 4 people (2 adults and 2 children) for a good amount of food. I would highly recommend the Anchor bombs, (fluffy, crunchy, cooked to perfection and not too spicy ) service was exceptional, but seemed as they had one server on 6 tables, to really get the attention of the server was a bit hard. read more

As we were returning from a visit to the Wildlife Refuge, we stopped for a meal before crossing over on the ferry to Port A. This place was a surprise. It's on the water. The main eating area is open but they can bring down "garage type doors" if needed. It appeared clean and was nicely decorated for the holidays. I ordered the shrimp Po'Boy with fries and water. Partner had fried oyster platter and beer. Both were delicious. Service was good. We will return. Parking is okay. No distinct marking place for handicapped that we found. read more

Great location on the water where you can pull right up on your boat (or car) and get good food and cocktails. Good selection on menu, a little pricey but everything is on the water. A couple of things could make it better, I ordered a martini and they said they could do it. What I got was not a martini. I didn't drink it but they left it on the bill, I'd still come back. Also the Captains Pasta plate could have been much better if it wasn't as spicy. We love spice but at a certain point that's all you taste. What they got RIGHT, Chelsea! She's is an amazing server and was so nice and welcoming. read more

Cute place on the water - really wanted to love it. Our servers were great - we were seated at "the window" seat so we were able to see all the orders come by. Everything looked delicious. My Eggs Benny also looked delish and although flavors were all good, the eggs were overcooked - tasted and looked like boiled eggs. Yuck. My husband liked his cactus hash and the breakfast potatoes were good. read more

Wish we could give this 10 stars!! Sorry food was so good we forgot to take before pictures. Food was plated gorgeous. Fresh veggies, killer shrimp and fish of day. Highly recommend the blackened option, my goodness. Anaya treated us like family and her recommendations were spot on delicious. Don't miss this place. On the water and you also get to see the shipyard at work which was super cool. Thanks Coaster!!! read more

The waitress was apparently new but tried her best to answer questions. The drinks were unimpressive. I had the dinner special which was steak tips gorgonzola. The meat was full of gristle. I hope the staff is trained on the Heimlich maneuver, There were 4 of us dining and each with a different meal. No one was impressed. We had eaten there once before for their "brunch" and it was good but not really a "brunch". We won't be back. read more

A great place to eat, Food is excellent, atmosphere is excellent and service is excellent and all for a fair price Didnt know there was such a good restaurant in Aransas Pass. We will definitely go back again read more

I looked this place up when I was at the coast. I found it very disappointing. I was wanting fresh sea foo & there was only about 3 choices on the menu. The fish batter was a tad salty. There was a nice flow of people tho. read more

My wife and I tried Coasters for the first time and really enjoyed our dinner. We split a Shepards salad, which consisted of mixed greens, blueberries, pecans, bacon bits, and feta cheese, dressing on the side. It was delicious! Our main entrée was blackened Black Drum with a wonderful beure blanc sauce, mushroom risotto, and sautéed vegetables. The dinner was great, the patio dining by the harbor was delightful. The service was excellent. All in all, it's a 5 star experience. read more

Excellent service and the flounder was probably the best I've ever had. The shrimp were giant and tasty! Very reasonable prices and a nice view of the bay. No music at the bar unfortunately and very bright. read more

First, the rating I gave here does NOT represent the Food as that was 5 star all the way. Some of the best seafood I've ate in my life and that's saying a lot. The beverage selection, Independant and Craft Beer List, and drink Specials were excelent as well. What I didn't much enjoy was the fact it's an open air dinning room on the water in the summer. Throughout the entire meal it felt like we were sitting in a blast furnace and I don't know about others, but I'm not one to enjoy sweating while I'm eating. The up side - the wind was enough to dry one out eventually. I understand this is a costal property and many folks do appreciate the atmosphere when visiting the coast, however it would have literally made a 2 star difference if there had been seating in Air Conditioned Comfort. Service was a bit slow and not one staff member checked back after our food was delivered to the table until we were finished eating. Will we return? Yes, just not on a warm summer day when the garage doors are open in the dinning room. The Meal was exquistely prepared, properly presented, and pleasantly priced. Despite the wind, it's a nice view behind the breakwater with dock right off the front of the dinning space. read more

Heard good things and decided to try it. First time here and had enjoyed the food and service. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic food, excellent service from all, I believe our server's name was Anaya, and an awesome view! My husband enjoyed the Speak ez burger with caramelized onions. The Blackpool fish with fresh green beans was cooked to perfection. Our kids enjoyed their burgers and tasty french fries. It looks like they also have yummy desserts that we'll have to try next time and great happy hour specials. We'll definitely be back! read more

Food was amazing! I think the prices are good considering that it is a delicate food. Most places here fry everything and do the same thing with seafood, Coasters definitely puts effort with their cooking and taste. Only thing is fried pickles were good but serving size was a tad too small for the price. Overall I will be coming back and excited to show my family when they visit!! Great view too!! read more

Good food and service. We enjoyed a weekend brunch! Very peaceful and close to the water.

Excellent food and service, we visited this little gem on the water twice during quiet hours. The tuna steak was seared and seasoned perfectly, and the catch of the day (snapper, I had it blackened) was just right. I enjoyed the lovely tuna bento box with kimchi fried rice as well. My daughter had the mushroom ravioli, and they tasted homemade. The seasonal cocktails are strong and tasty, the server (Mackenzie) made excellent recommendations on everything. Saw that they have live music often, hope to stop by in the evening sometime soon! read more

heat index was 103 but with the breeze off the water it was actually cool. They know how to cook seafood, steaks and friend shrimp and fish plate. The food is fresh the ambience is great and the value is best around the beach cities. read more
