Food: place is over priced for sure!!! The food is different trying to much!! trying to mask the dry brisket with sauce but hey the Chips were good pancakes my kids enjoyed. Service: was pretty good Ambiance: small and crowded but ok looking place. This place was hyped up by the locals it's meh in my honest opinion! read more

The waiter was kind and attentive. Food came out fast, the drinks were decent. We ordered Bloody Marys and Blood Maria's. they have a section on the menu dedicated to a variety of different bloody Mary's to select from which we enjoyed since this is our favorite alcoholic beverages. The booth es were confortable and sizeable we had a party of 5 adults and 4 kids and sat comfortably in their larger booth. I ordered fried redfish with mash potatoes and mixed veggies, the fish was over fried and flavorless, the mash potatoes were too salty and the vegetables were bland. Where we sat was either took dark from the shades being down or too sunny if you sat right I front of the closed shades, with the sun blaring in. The service was good, the food was ok. The vibe was lacking, but the restaurant served its purpose - to eat and go home. 5/5 for service, 3/5 for food and 3/5 for vibe. Wouldn't likely return unless it was the last option. read more

Good food for sure, a bit on the pricey side for breakfast. Being a family-inclusive establishment, there's a good chance groups of kids are present and when we were here, there was a table of very badly behaved adults AND children which created a very disruptive environment. Staff just stood and stared at them instead of asking them to take it down about 8 notches. It really took a good bit of enjoyment away for a lot of customers. Since breakfast was available, we went in that direction...for lunch. Served all day. I got the Islander and wife got the Silver Alert. Mine was basically a larger version of hers. The sausage was really tasty. The hashbrowns on my plate (she didn't get them) were exactly like McD's or other fast food joints. I was hoping for homemade style and not frozen fast food style. The eggs tasted a little odd to me...maybe the oil used? Still tasty, though. Bacon cooked crispy. Good breakfast overall. Wife did want to try a starter and she chose the baked goat cheese/toast appetizer. She really enjoyed it...not really for my palate. Personal taste there. Several people who left reviews mentioned the wait time. We were told it would be 30 minutes when we arrived...but there's really no place for people to wait. However, they found a booth for a group sitting just inside the door and then asked if we would like to sit there. Sure...problem solved in about 5 minutes. Aside from the wait/no wait situation, it took a really long time for service and arrival of food. It's a smallish seating area overall for such business. Hopefully business is so good they'll look to expand to accommodate such demand. read more

I'm really hoping this review reaches the right people because we were very disappointed with our experience Monday around 10:40 am. We're locals and were genuinely excited to have a great breakfast place like this, which makes this even more disappointing. When we walked in, we were barely greeted by two hostesses who were on their phones. After being seated, we waited for our very busy waitress to take our drink order. About 12 minutes later, she returned only to let us know they were out of pancakes. When we needed sugar for our coffee, we finally got up and asked the hostesses, and their response was basically, "It's right over there; you can grab it yourself." While waiting for our food, I went to the restroom and found the hostesses in there chatting, on their phones, and vaping in front of the mirror. They didn't even move so I could wash my hands. I actually had to ask, "May I please use the sink?" while they stood there and continued vaping. I did report this to our waitress, who I believe was Amanda. She was kind and clearly very busy, but apparently there was no actual manager available. After about 40 minutes, our food finally arrived completely cold. The sad part is that it looked beautiful and was presented so nicely. I honestly felt bad for the chefs because it seemed like the food would have been very good had it been brought to us when it was ready. My husband got up to try to speak with a manager and noticed plates stacked in the window waiting to be delivered while the hostesses were still on their phones. They easily could have been helping run food instead. For the price of the food, we expect much better service and professionalism. We've continued giving this place another chance because we really wanted to love it, but unfortunately, each time we've returned, the service has gotten worse. I sincerely hope management sees this and addresses these issues because the restaurant has so much potential. It was just a very disappointing experience. read more

Went back a day later for breakfast and they got our orders exactly correct. My wife had the same thing as the day before but it came with everything it was supposed to (two eggs, as she requested and hashbrowns, which they didn't provide the day before). I had the Shrimp and Hatch Chili Grits, oh' my gosh was that delicious! read more

We just walked into Ridley's and they told us that there's an hour wait......and when you look around, they have a bunch of tables open, and no line up inside or outside. Seriously, how long does it take to scramble some eggs and put a couple pieces of toast in the toaster. BYE FELICIA!!! Sorry not sorry!!!

Had a late brunch here yesterday and food was really good. Breakfast at 2pm? oh yes! I like that we got there during happy hour too. I love how it's open seating and doesn't feel crowded. Food was pretty big serving. I had chicken fettuccine. It was so good but I got full really fast. This place has it all like the bar, coffees, food and pastries which I thought was a first for me. I just moved here from Hawaii and that surprised me. And our server, I think Genevie (sorry if that's not correct lol), was really friendly. read more

All I have to say is be prepared to WAIT! Especially if you're going in on a Sunday for Brunch. We waited about an hour and 20 mins to get a seat but let me tell you IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT! Also... When we ordered it took about 10 mins for the food to come out so it was fast. Everything we got was amazing. The Chicken Fried Prime Rib was our top favorite with the John Jackson pancakes coming in second. Their sourdough bread with butter and strawberry jelly was amazing too. We got seated outside but the day was nice and we didn't even notice. The inside is really nice. We aren't local but we will definitely be coming back when we are in Corpus. read more

SO GOOD! Ridley's breakfast/brunch was very tasty. The food surprised me because it's hard to find good food near the coast. This is definitely a place to come to you won't regret it. My mom described the pancakes as "some of the best she has had". I loved the shrimp and cheese grits. The service is good considering when we went it was very busy. Our server was nice & quick. The ambiance is cute & cozy. I definitely recommend for brunch getting there early if it is peak season. We got there 30 mins after opening and we were the last party sat. After that they had a wait. read more

Ridley's was busy when we arrived, but we were able to order at the outside bar with Michael. Michael was wonderful! We had an hour wait time, but we were served much faster by staying at the outside bar. Our food was fantastic and the drinks were so creative! Ridley's has baked goods at the front, their own starter that you can get before noon for free, and jarred items like jams and pickles. Michael suggested the pickled green beans and they were bomb! We can't wait to go again for their social hour, which occurs every day starting at 2:00pm. read more

Amazing food and amazing service!!! Went with my family and had the most amazing time! Thankfully wasn't too busy and our waitress was amazing!!! I wish I could remember her name but It was something near J, or someone mentioned a Genevieve but she was super nice and gave great service. The food was really tasty, literally no complaints about any of it. The drinks were delish but a little odd but not bad odd 100/10 totally recommend for vacation and locals read more

Stopped in for brunch on our way home from the beach, and we received amazing food, with exceptional service. It's a small establishment. Booth, table, and bar seating is available. They also have an assortment of pastries and freshly made sourdough bread is also available. Really enjoyed all the food. Pancakes were delicious, fruit was fresh, and sausage was so juicy. The hash brown was so unique and full of flavor. Will definitely be back. Parking: Surface parking, with some spots in gravel. read more

*** decent breakfast or brunch option but long wait for larger groups in the summer *** Ridleys was my brother's suggestion for a June 20, 2025, family brunch outing. At first there was some communication. We all thought another adult had spoke with the hostess about our group when in actuality no one told her we needed a table for 11. Lol. The hostess apologized to me for the mix-up. It was no big deal because I was told it was a 45-minute wait either way. Actually, we got there at 10:40 and my text that our table was ready arrived at 11:15. + Drip coffee = $2.50 + "Little Piggie Plate" from kid's menu = $7.50 + Strawberry Shortcake pancakes = $10.50 + "The Hurricane" frittata (I ordered this & some of the meat was hard to chew) = $16.50 My youngest brother at the table next to us got his food 10 minutes after all of us which always sucks. Our waitress had a hard time hearing us over the loud group behind us. She performed better than my little brother's waitress, though.

I really want to love this place but inconsistent food quality and "island" service are getting in the way. Today was my third visit after a promising second, but it was a failure. The service was slow, food came out at all different times for our party of 6, and it was not served hot. I started ordering a Pacifico Michelada which was flavorless. Turns out they don't even have Pacifico but the waitress didn't know that and didn't bother say anything until later. I ordered an appetizer, "grits of fire" that had the Scoville rating of ketchup. It wasn't bad, just unremarkable. For brunch I ordered the crab cake Benedict which was served with hard poached eggs (no run at all) and was room temperature. There was a scant amount oh hollandaise sauce on it. They did bring some properly poached eggs about 10 minutes after. The staff is generally friendly and tried, but clearly lacks training on the menu or foodservice in general. Pretty sad! read more

So glad this place is here. Wonderful service, and wonderful food. Good coffee and bakery, as well.

I want to start by saying that the decoration to this establishment was amazing. I loved it and the servers were great! Now my pork belly Bennie barely had pot belly , my eggs were overcooked not poached, the bread at the bottom was so burnt on the corners i had to fight it , the hollandaise sauce was not it. The hash was ok but it lacked a sauce or salsa it was just eggs on top of a bunch of potatoes and again one egg was over easy the other was fully cooked just inconsistent. My son had the chicken spicy sandwich and the breading just fell apart and had no spicy to it just tasted like honey. Drinks were amazing which was the highlight for me! Maybe I just went in at the wrong time because I hear so many good things about this joint but unfortunately had a not so well experience. read more

I was there for the fist time to have brunch. Their menu selections are very good, it was a bit difficult to choose but at the end decided on the garden frittata and it was amazing!! The sourdough bread that it is accompaniment to the frittata is made in house as weak as the jams, you can even see their starter behind a glass display. Their coffee is very good as well. The only negative if you want to call it that is the acoustics, when crowded is a bit hard to have a conversation, and parking is very limited, but overall it was a great experience. I would definitely go back read more

Very poor first impression. I sat at the bar at the same time as another couple and our specialty coffee orders were taken together. After they were reseated at a booth, I watched the bartender make their drinks and hand deliver them while I continued waiting at the bar. Over the next 10-15 minutes, the bartender passed by me repeatedly without any acknowledgment or update, despite my attempts to make eye contact. During that time he took other orders, rang up checks, and stepped away from the bar several times. I eventually got up to leave and told him to cancel my cappuccino since it had still not been made. Basic communication or even a quick acknowledgment would have gone a long way. For a first visit, this was a frustrating experience and not a great reflection of the service standards here. I hope management addresses the attentiveness at the bar. read more

Menu doesn't even do the taste justice! Yep- it's just that good! The family went for brunch deciding ahead to all order something different so we could taste everything. So here goes - Bloody Mary Flight- several unique pours were "out", so original BM - very nice. Not too spicy. Cinnamon Pear Mimosa - very tasty absolutely enjoyed! Espresso- very nice. Food- Biscuits and gravy good, but need to add some hot sauce and temperature needed to be much warmer that when served. It kinda felt like it was waiting for other food to fly. Texas Benny and the Crab Benny both delicious. We bet it would be artificial crab - pleasantly amazingly surprised- odds are fresh lump crab minus big lumps. Good! Sweet Potato Hash delightful and rustic-very good. Garden Frittata very good. French Onion Soup -yummo! Every poached egg perfect and every meal better thank the description on the menu. Excellent service on a Sunday brunch at the end of a long holiday two weeks. Very knowledgeable waitress who handles every need even replenished water without our asking. Perfect place for families too because the four year old grandson found the little kid swing and kiddo area. The decor was perfect and the overall feeling of being close the the beach and seafood makes it a go to place for the future. read more

My friend and I waited over an hour (we were told 45 min.) today to be seated. We watched large groups of people get seated before us. There were empty tables available but the hostess explained they were not seating 2 tops. I have eaten here before the food is great if you can even get a seat. Good luck if you're only 2 people! By the way the chairs at the bar are very uncomfortable! If you get there first you should be seated first. read more

Went here on my Birthday for brunch! The food is amazing. They get packed early. The food is a little pricey but it's quality! I had the Ribeye CFS, and had to take some home since the portion what larger than my tummy that day. It's cozy with an open kitchen concept. They make all of their own baked goods too! read more

Service was attentive, ambience was comforting and beachy, the space was small, the food was tasty. Good local spot for a party of 2-4, not suitable for a large group. Tables sit max 6 people and they do not take reservations, so expect 1 hour wait for weekend breakfast or lunch if going with family. No indoor waiting space, and parking is limited, so on a hot day the wait is a bit tough. Would love to go back on a weekday or with a smaller size party to try the rest of that menu! read more

We went on a Sunday at around 11 and they were busy so the wait was about an hour, so make sure you have the time lol.

We were in Port A for three days in the middle of the week. We stopped here on Tuesday for brunch/lunch. No wait, pancakes were huge, bacon perfectly extra crispy, and Julie's French Toast was perfect. My only slight disappointment was my over medium eggs were over hard. Not as big a deal as if on a burger, and still well seasoned and tasty. Wednesday went went back for "Social Hour"from 2:00-4:00. The Nueces Brewery beers on tap were cold and tasty. Julie's espresso martini was delicious and beautiful. We had hot honey shrimp and mussels blanco to eat. The shrimp was plump, juicy, and perfectly cooked, and the hot honey packed just the perfect amount of heat. The mussels were just plain delicious, served with house baked bread to sop the blanco sauce. Finally, breakfast on the way out of town Thursday was a treat. Julie had perfect blueberry pancakes and scrambled eggs. My Kickin' Shrimp Frittata was also delicious with plump, juicy grilled shrimp and a great Cajun sauce. Service all three days was great. Waitress actually brought the syrup bottle out so Julie could see if it had corn syrup in it, since corn products don't agree with her. The place has a nice relaxed bar and grill vibe, and has a GREAT assortment of baked breads, quiches and sweets. We will definitely be back next time we're at Port A!! read more

I am a food aficionado, and I love trying all kinds of restaurants. Being from Texas...I've had some dang good burgers in my time. I can undoubtedly say The Brunch Burger with the fried potatoes with ranch and hollidase sauce on the side was the best burger I've ever had in my life. I also had the 'Packery Paloma' which was a very crisp and refreshing drink. The food came out in less than 10 minutes, great music, beautifully decorated place. Our server Mason couldn't have been a more polite gentleman and provided excellent service. Thanks Ridley's! I'll be back to keep trying everything on the menu. read more
