The food tasted frozen. We got the fried shrimp and it was all batter. We also go the fried stuffed crab and I could of gotten something better at the local grocery store. The corn on the cob that we got as a side was cold so we couldn't even eat it. The prices were way high. We were so... more

This was our second time in Port A and this restaurant was listed on our condo's list of recommended places to eat. Everything about the experience was ok up until we got our food. The grilled shrimp on the plate I ordered were tiny and the vegetables, obviously made from frozen, were soggy. My girlfriend ordered crab cakes that arrived... more

Yummo!

Went to Fins our last day in Port A...by then we were used to the, in our opinion, high prices for "local" seafood, so the prices here were not a big surprise. The food was excellent as was the service. We were both considering the fried mahi mahi/shrimp combo, so to save a few $$, hubs ordered the fish and... more

the food was decent, but for that price you could eat anywhere and there is better in town. we ate there because you get a discount if you go out on the dolphin and nature watch boat at the neighboring dock. more

We ate and drank there twice during our recent visit. Sat on the back deck overlooking the harbor. Nachos are huge and tasty, fried shrimp crunchy and good, and hamburger is huge with a sweet bun that compliments in nicely. Service was good also, and this was on a weekend. Highly recommended. more

Decided to try Fins since Ferry line was long to get to Aransas Pass. Seating went quickly but the food was not good at all. My husband had shrimp that was absolutely horrible. Smelled and tasted fishy. Must not have been fresh. Son had grilled shrimp that was alot of money for what he got. Had to order sides seperate.... more

food is very average, and the servers there are not to friendly. they are also sooooo slow. we had a nice seat outside though overlooking the ocean. really cant say much bout the food, we really just went for drinks & appetizers. But what we did see on the menu seemed to be a bit overpriced. more
