I don't quite understand this especially when ordering in your not charged for these and welcomed to take leftovers to go.

The pretzel and cheese were good. Now the downsides. It was full outside and there is no table service, so took about 25 minutes to get a drink. That should never happen, but only one bartender for over 100 people will cause that. He was good, but the cards were stacked against him.

As for the food/drinks, they were solid. They make their sandwiches and then refrigerate them and then panini them when you buy them. I am not usually a fan of coffee shop sandwiches but gave these a chance because they're actually made here. PRISTINE! tasty! My husband loved the chipotle chicken wrap so much that he went back for another one after devouring the first. The only bad thing was that their chai tea base is tooooo sweet. I literally asked them if they use a sweetener, to which they said no. They did acknowledge it was sweet and agreed to give me some hot water to water it down. Overall- very great experience. We will be back next time we are in port aransas.

The atmosphere was fun, the staff was super friendly, and the young crew working there were clearly hustling and doing their best during a very busy rush. That said, the wait times were just too much for me personally. I waited over 30 minutes just to get to the counter, and then another 25 minutes to receive the rest of our order after the drinks came out. My son absolutely loved his mocha Frappuccino and ham & cheese croissant, so that was a win. Unfortunately, as someone who drinks coffee regularly, I wasn't especially impressed with my drink, and my everything bagel came out extremely over-toasted and almost gooey inside. I really don't want to knock the place because it genuinely has a cool vibe and hardworking employees, but the long waits and food quality just made it hard for me to want to come back. If you have patience and don't mind a slower experience, you may enjoy it more than I did. I will say that the breakfast items are super overpriced.

The food overall was great, with the cheesecake definitely being my favorite. While the tacos were still good, I was personally expecting a bit more from them. That said, there's really nothing to complain about. My boyfriend ordered the brunch burger and absolutely loved it--he said it was delicious.

We travel to Port A frequently but have never eaten at Castaways. We were there for Thanksgiving…read moreweek and made a reservation for the Thanksgiving meal that Castaways was serving. Ham or turkey, cornbread dressing, garlic mashed potatoes, creamy corn, green bean casserole, candied yams, homemade cranberry sauce, and a roll for $21.00. Sounded great, so we made our reservation for 3:00pm. We arrived at the restaurant just before 3:00pm and were immediately informed they were out of turkey, so ham only. Ok, no problem. However, when our "plate" was delivered, there was no green bean casserole, no candied yams, no cranberry sauce and no roll. We instead had "canned corn", plain mashed potatoes, dressing, ham and a piece of buttered white bread. WHAT???? When we asked about the "missing" items from our plate, we were told oh, we already ran out, but we are discounting the price. We went ahead and ate the mediocre food and paid our "discounted" bill - they took off $6.00 per plate - WOW. This meal was a complete disappointment and had we been informed they were out of almost everything, we would have opted not to eat. If they were only taking reservations, they knew EXACTLY how many people they would be serving, so extremely poor planning on their part for running out food. Based on this one experience, I do NOT recommend this restaurant and will not be eating there on any of our future Port A trips.

You're still open you're not closed yet! If the store hours say you're open until a certain time, customers should be able to order food until then. That's the whole point of being "open." It's not like I showed up last second or asked for some huge, complicated meal. It was literally just mozzarella sticks. The fact that they wouldn't even bother making that tells me everything I need to know about their customer service. If you're not going to serve food during your posted hours, then don't claim you're open. Super disappointed and honestly a little mad. I won't be coming back to this location.

This wasn't our first time visiting this restaurant, and it won't be our last. They have an extensive menu that includes Mexican or Tex-Mex items, as well as American food. We walked in and chose our booth, and our drink orders were taken soon after. Warm chips and mild salsa arrived soon after. We took our time with the menu, eventually deciding on a fried shrimp plate ($12.99) and a meat quesadilla plate. The food arrived hot and fresh in a reasonable time. Then ketchup, 2 salsas, and tartar sauce were delivered. It was mid-afternoon, so the place wasn't very busy. We finished eating, and planned to take away maybe half of the food. But we waited, and waited... and I didn't see our waitress. Finally we saw her behind the bar, but we just chilled in the booth until she showed up. Then my husband paid at the cashier...
