We love Castaways for their people and their food. When we eat at the restaurant, there’s a great energy surrounding the place. They are even dog, friendly, which we love. There are two dog items on the menu! The ambience, service, food are all in line with the cool vibe of Port Aransas. Highly recommend!

This place came highly recommended but I personally would not eat here again. The crab boil was 100%, the tuna was okay. The atmosphere didnt really have one. Just a crowded restaurant and busy. Online says they are gluten knowledgeable but that wasnt the case. It was not horrible but it was not great.They did have local art work for sale and that was super cool!

Come here every time I'm in Port A. Super dog friendly. Use the wait-list option to make it easier and faster.

This was my second visit to the restaurant, and both times I’ve loved the food, service, and atmosphere. They offer both indoor and outdoor bars, and the wait staff is always prompt, attentive, and courteous. The environment is spotless, open, and inviting, with a fun island and beach vibe that makes the experience even better.

1st time here and I loved it. I got the ultimate platter. I got to sample a little of everything. The only bad thing I have to say is I didn't get lemon on my platter. The appetizer crab ragoon dip. Was amazing. My family got the sweet and spicy chicken sandwich and a castaburger they loved it also. Service was outstanding . We will be back.

This is a great place for some fresh sea food. I had the Jays special and it was so good. The fish had great flavor and was very flakey. The dessert was top notch as well. We had the peach bread pudding and it was so warm and savory it was hard to stop! The only downside was the eating area was pretty loud. However, it’s overall an amazing place and I would certainly recommend.
