Coach’s Island Pub and Grub - Restaurant in Port Aransas - 505 N Alister St Suite C, USA

A sports team themed restaurant that celebrates its favorite teams both in sports and politics. A very popular spot, and one of few open before 8am. By the time we arrived at 8am, there was a waitlist of a few parties ahead of us. Make sure to sign in at the podium. Once we got seated at 8:30am, service was incredibly sweet and working their tails off. Coffee and drinks came pretty quickly, but it took about 30 min to get our food. Thankfully, my son was very entertained by the little basketball arcade in the corner, and the waitress kept our coffee fresh. The food itself was great. The chicken fried steak had good texture and a tasty chopped sausage link (not breakfast sausage) white gravy. Hashbrowns were a perfect mix of crispy and soft potatoes. I ordered over medium eggs but got over easy, which is fine for me. Medium eggs are hard to get right. My wife enjoyed her simple Coach’s Breakfast Special. My son devoured his chocolate chip pancake. The kid’s pancake breakfast comes with bacon, eggs, hashbrowns and an orange juice. Overall, kitchen was a bit slow but put out good food. The prices were very reasonable too.

Gotta hand it to Coach's... darn good breakfast! We stopped in about noon on a Sunday, not breakfast time for sure, but Coach's pounds out breakfast until 2:00pm everyday! It was great! Service awesome (Thanks Rokki!), the foo was delicious, and even Coach's signature salsas were a hit with this crew! BTW... Coach's serves bigtime burgers and lunch fare after 11AM! Our first visit to Coach's, and the Yelpers' guidance was mixed. We're here "off season" so not really sure what to expect! Coach's out-performed our expectations... The place is so fun and cool, if you know anything about sports. I don't mean being a fan, but if you know anything about sports, there are memories on the walls... football, baseball, boxing, car racing... you know it, the sport is represented here! So fun to see all the memorabilia! Next, the food... we kept it simple with a Coach's Original (an egg, sausage, biscuit, toast) and a Double Play (two eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausages, toast)(I had the Double LOL) and Rokki treated us with a side of a biscuit and gravy as a sampler... all of the food was off the charts good... yeah, a breakfast diner kind of place, I can only imagine how crazy the wait is "in season!" The entire experience was so enjoyable... mostly locals dining this AM, but we fit right in. PS Coach's in-house salsas are awesome too. We'll likely go by for lunch this week for a burger/fry lunch combo and grab some of the salsas. Definitely and HIGHLY recommend Coach's Island Grill for a great breakfast and/or lunch in Port A ... get you some of that!!!

Prompt and attentive service. Fun atmosphere with interesting memorabilia (football jerseys and celebrities’ photos). Breakfast was good and cooked to order. Sausage and French toast are standouts; strong value for the money. TV playing college football on Saturday when we were there. We will return when in PA.

Steak and eggs breakfast was excellent. The homemade mild hot sauce had great flavor and so did the mean green spicy one. Servers were very friendly and efficient, especially on a full house. Definitely a great spot for breakfast!

So happy that Coach’s is back! Great new space with more tables and more jerseys. Coach is such a nice person that he whipped up some chips and salsa for me at 8 AM because I always have to have his salsa when I visit. Added on a breakfast taco and some coffee to round out my happy morning.

Very small breakfast restaurant. Waited about 30 minutes before being seated. Must order while or a little after putting your name on the wait list so that they have it in advance. So be prepared for that. Besides that, the food is good and fresh, and the portions are huge. If you're someone who eats little, order the French toast or something small. But it's definitely a really cool spot to check out if you're on a small getaway to Port A. Update!!! They moved. It's just a block away. Nice location, with parking. Food is still delicious and affordable. Spent $38 for 2 people. Portions are still huge! The customer service is AMAZING! It's a little understaffed, but with time, this issue will be fixed. I don't come to Port A. too often, but when I Coach's is a place, I'll always come for breakfast.

Fun place! Greeted when we arrived (love that-thank you:). Service was amazing, food was great and even Coach came out to check to make sure my fries weren’t too salty! Who does that anymore? You are amazing Roxy and Cindy & Randy from Corpus will be back soon! Thank you! Thank you! Highly recommend❤️ Ps. Great tea! (and I’m a tea snob)

The best biscuits and gravy in Texas! Excellent pancakes and great coffee. 5 extra stars for the Trump cut out on the kitchen door.
