Reviews
Best seafood place in Port Aransas. Service and food was top notch. Very family oriented.
Service was amazing! And the mozzarella sticks are to die for!! our server Amber killed it!
This was our first time at Castaways. We sat in the bar area and Eric came and took our drink order. He upsold us on the margarita and we are glad he did!! Very unusual, but very tasty!! My wife had the ultimate shrimp platter and she said it was excellent! I had one of her fried shrimp and the batter was light and well prepared. My tuna was over cooked (my fault- I ordered it medium) but the flavor was great and the sauce was very well done. Eric and Sydney both did an excellent job with the service. Because of them and the food, this may become our go-to restaurant in Port A!!
We loved our crab legs!! I got an order of two with a side salad, my husband ordered the meal with red skins, corn, a dozen shrimp and sausage! So delicious! My best meal yet after eating at a few of the best in town! Seriously!! Service was perfect! Loved our waiter. He was very efficient and helpful, yet had a great personality to top it off. We were too full for the great desserts he mentioned . This meal made a happy ending to our dreary weekend at Port Aransas. Not much sun and the waves were too huge to go deep sea fishing. Not fancy, casual. We went before the crowds so I'm sure that makes a big difference!
Will was an excellent waiter. We really loved jay special. The wedge is amazing. I would go back just to ask for Will as our waiter. The fried shrimp our friend had was good as well.
