We were visiting the area for the winter. What a great little spot! The food was VERY VERY good, the ladies that work there are absolutely DELIGHTFUL! I had the buffet. Huge delicious selections and very reasonably priced. I had ice tea that was probably one of the best I've had. And served in a huge Ball jars. My husband had this ginormous club sandwich! It was very good and very fresh! There must have been 3 lbs of meat and cheese on there!!! They also had beer and mimosas as well. Seems to be a local favorite spot. We VERY MUCH recommend this great local spot! Very friendly and super delicious. We will be back! read more

Great southern cooking! All the sides are so flavorful. Highly recommend the beans. The waitresses had us set up and ready really quickly. Very clean and has a loved appearance. read more

I was looking for a breakfast place this morning and stumbled upon the port Café. it was an unassuming looking place in Freeport, Texas, but there were lots of cars there so I knew it was going to be good Since it was a Saturday morning, I was planning on just getting some breakfast tacos, but upon arrival they had a breakfast buffet, a full breakfast buffet, including French toast, pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, assorted fruits, and vegetables, biscuits, and gravy, hashbrowns, fried potatoes, salsa, and pico de gallo. I'm a big fan of pico de gallo. I make some at home and this one was just as good as what I make it home. I was very impressed with this. I forgot to mention, though also they had some Carne Guisada, very flavorful and I ordered a side of refried beans and tortillas and made some tacos and they were excellent!! I highly recommend this place!! read more

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. read more

Great spot for lunch. The buffet has excellent food. Some of the best cabbage and green beans I've ever eaten very affordable Price with great service.. read more

Food was okay. I was hoping it would have been better than it was based on other reviews. Staff were very friendly.

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! read more

Maybe came at a bad time? I don't know for sure. I thought was going to be good based on reviews, but no it was not. I ordered migas and my companion had the buffet which featured chicken legs that were so skinny and just very dry. I did not like how any of my order tasted. I want to go back for a 2nd try but am hesitant. read more

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! read more

Port Cafe - Inside - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Freeport, Texas

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. read more

Waitstaff was nice, food came out fairly quick. Bathrooms a bit gross, old dust all over the wall decorations, mold spots on the vents. The food was disappointing. GF got an omelet which she struggled to describe but came up with "watery" and tasteless. I had biscuits and gravy - gravy was definitely from a packet and the sausage was a tasteless. The eggs had black grill dust in them. Hash browns were fine. Seems they just increased prices recently, new prices written on white tape over the old prices. Seems they jumped up $2-3 per item, which based on the food quality IMO the new prices are definitely overpriced. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Port Cafe - Sausage and cheese omelet with a side of sausage. This normally has hash browns and toast too but I had them hold them. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Freeport, Texas

I'm one for not liking a place just by sight, but that's Impossible when it comes to the home cooking coming out of this restaurant. The Pork Chops and Eggs was right on the spot. The BEANS coming out of this kitchen are literally the Best in ALL of Texas, mark my Word. After today's meal, our family gives this jewel a 6 Star rating out of 5. They serve a lunch of the day, each day different, and its buffet style, all you can eat. We'll definitely back for the Ribs luncheon before we leave the area. To Cindy our waitress, we are so glad we found you, the other ladies, and this great food find restaurant. Thanks! Frank, and Eric read more

Lady that took phone order and assume was the one who helped me when I picked the order up was very nice. It's a hole in the wall type place. Our fave. Ordered the Better Be Hungry breakfast with side of bacon, the Golden breakfast, two sides of grits and a coffee. Biscuits were small, gravy was okay, scrambled eggs were dry. Coffee was disappointing. Would think that a place like this would have had better coffee. read more

Wish I could leave a 0 star I order a beef quesadilla and I don't know how u can mess up that bad on a quesadilla bu I think they boiled the beef or something but no seasoning or nothing worst lunch I've ever had in my life. read more

Delicious breakfast at this little place. We got the pork-chop plate, mixed grill and the migas. Everything was good, but the red sauce the waitress brought us was phenomenal. Would come back just for that! We're out of towners but come to the area every year. We'll be back when we can! read more

Everything we've ever tried here is amazing! Best burger ever and the buffet is incredible. 10/10 recommend

Delicious food at a very reasonable price. Totally a hidden gem. Not much to look at inside or out but the food is GOOD. I was there when it switched from breakfast to the lunch buffet and customers were literally pouring in. The place filled up in 15 minutes. Hardworking local men on their lunch breaks. That's how you know it's good. The only reason I knocked off a star was, the service wasn't very....friendly or kind at all. We ordered the waffle and eggs and the migas. read more

Probably the worst food I have ever eaten. The buffet was stale and weak. Rubbery meats and instant potatoes. Why did I not walk out when I saw the AC vent dripping on the table? WORST EVER! read more

This place is a hidden gem in Freeport! We came here looking for a brunch spot with our group of six and found an incredible Southern style buffet complete with green beans, ribs, chicken fried steak, peach cobbler and so much more! The wait staff was kind and helpful. We loved it so much we wish we could come back again tomorrow but we are headed back to Houston! You have to come here for yourself, but at $9.99 for the buffet, this place is incredible! read more

Great food. Stopped for lunch the first time a few days ago. Lunch buffet all comfort food- plus cheese enchiladas, rice and beans. Banana pudding and cobbler for dessert. Pretty good salad bar. Nice lunch. A person could order from menus also. Second trip back for breakfast. Migas okay, my husband says he's had better but it was passable. I ate grits that were great. Also had eggs bacon and filled up. Service is great. I love the tea glass are glass jars. Impressed with the real hometown feel. Lots of locals and workers because of the fast buffet. We will go again and I will try to remember to take pictures. read more

Average breakfast place. Good service. Chilaquiles were the most unusual I have ever had without eggs and with pineapple.

The best french toast Ive ever had! Red chilaquiles were fantastic. I don't think you can go wrong here.

Great breakfast and service was always good! Great little gem in Freeport! Wish they were open longer

The food here is fantastic and the service is great. The people that run the place are a very warm family who work very hard to create a nice family environment (if not fancy) and serve great food at a very decent price. My kids had sausage, eggs and pancakes and it was great. I had 2 sausage, egg & cheese tacos and they HUGE and they were also great. And very inexpensive. There was a nice big family with a new baby sitting next to us and as I left I asked where was a good place to to take my kids crabbing and buy bait. It turned out the man I was talking to was the owner. He insisted on giving me some chicken scraps to use for bait. He came out with a large bag of about 1 lb of chicken parts and insisted I take it. Such great people. read more
