Lelo's Island Bar - Bar & grill in Port Aransas - 212 Beach St, USA

Nice little restaurant, the steak bites were very good. Walk up to place your order, fast service, food is brought to the table. The place wasn't busy on a weekday for a late lunch, but or server, once the food was brought out, didn't come around to check on drink refills. Looks like a fun little spot for a young crowd, outdoor patio area, reasonable space for parking when the area isn't packed with people. Glad we went, lots of choices in the area.

Lelo's has SUCH AMAZING FOOD! I recently took my partner here on a date while visiting Port Aransas while on a mini vacation. Service was extremely fast, and our food was piping hot, and our drinks came strong! I highly recommend ordering the Jack and Coke burger with chili cheese fries and a salad. As well as an order of the Steak Bites, they were Heavenly!

We occasioned Lelo's Island Bar (LIB) for dinner while in Port A for a family vacation over the Thanksgiving holiday. On a side note, it was fairly crowded and our party of eight had to sit outside on a chilly evening, no heaters present. I get the whole "it's off season," but if you want a good number of diners year-round, a few heaters in the outside seating area would be a welcome addition. That said, the place has a way cool "tiki bar/island" vibe. Lots of specialty shots and frozen drinks. Good beers. It's a place where you order at the bar, and they bring the food to you when it's ready. We had a couple of martinis and "painkillers," all very good libations. On the food side, we shared cheese curds, the steak bites and a patty melt. All deelish! Special note about all the fried food (curds and fries) all nicely seasoned, fried well, and served piping hot! We like HOT when it comes to fried food, and LIB does the fried stuff right! The steak bites were very tasty, nicely seasoned and cooked medium rare. You cannot tell from the picture, but there were lots of bites under the sea of fries. The patty melt was also good, toasted well, and the "insides" (meat, cheese and onions) were well cooked. Another good entree... the "littles" and the teenagers had burgers, all reported they were good. Some observations overall... good venue for families (when the weather is good), play area and lots of games outside next to the patio. Games not just for kids, but for grown-ups too! When the weather is good, the patio would be a great place to hang out for a while, have some food and cocktails, and watch the folks play. We'll definitely be back, and shoot for a beautiful sunny day next time around! Recommend LIB, good times, good food...

I had family come in town, I thought Port Aransas would be a nice place to visit if they wanted to go to shops after lunch they could . We got there early , and it was a good thing . The bartender made the drinks and took the food orders , she was very busy , and the place was packed by the time we left at 1:30. I had fried pickles and the best I have in a long time. Perfect breading , crisp , not greasy at all, and good pickle taste , not to sour. I split the Jack and coke Burger with my husband, and it was delicious, I do wish I would have remembered something I saw in the reviews and would have ordered with a jalapeno bun , it was a little sweet , but the meat was perfect with just a little char around outside edge , the onions were grilled to soft and just the right amount , it was only lacking a little more heat. The French fries were also very good. I only had water , but I did see some drinks I would like to try. It was too hot to enjoy the corn hole out back and the patio seating , but it looks like a fun place when it is cooler. I look forward to going back.

Cute "little" place. I loved the ambiance of this place. It's casual and the 80s music playing on the sound system with matching video on one of the TVs was a real blast from the past. The food was fantastic. We did have to wait a bit but it was the end of the lunch run and the quality was worth the wait. I'll visit again the next time we're in town. They have a pretty large outdoor covered seating area as well and it was pretty cool with out there with the big fan going.

I want to start off by saying that this place is very cute and they did a great job in designing/ decorating it. However, everything else sucked. If you need ANYTHING you are expected to get up and get it, which is stupid if you’re sitting outside since there’s no condiment station or something. The girls working here were nice, but aside from taking our order and running out our food for 2 seconds, that was the entire interaction we had with them. So they’re not really “wait staff”. They stood around talking behind the bar for the most part. I understand that it’s a “place order at register” type of pace, but they didn’t ask if we needed anything like sauces, napkins, or plasticware when they brought everything out. I think they need to put more effort into what their bartenders/servers are expected to do. If you’re in a tip based industry, it’s expected that one would WORK for their tip. I only tipped because it’s the right thing to do. Not because they earned it. Now, for the food… don’t come here! The food is bland and incredibly over priced. This is very obviously a tourist trap, which we expected, but they could at least make sure that their cooks know how to season some ground beef!! Our burgers were sooooo bland. My boyfriend was pretty mad because we spent $54 for two people after tip. I got the poblano aioli burger, and it was so freaking dry. Same with my boyfriend’s jack and coke burger. The chef was stingy as hell today with the sauces, I guess. The table next to us ordered a mushroom Swiss burger and we overheard them express their discontent as well with their dry and bland burger, and especially with the price!!! Overall, I’d suggest spending your money at the Whataburger down the road. Way more flavorful and half the price. Also, I’m sure you can get way bigger cocktails somewhere else for the outrageous price they charge. They also charged almost $3 for a coke and it was 80% ice!!! Yeah, definitely not coming back. 2 stars instead of 1 cause the place is cute, that’s it’s.

Very friendly. Great service. Burgers are huge. Good onion rings. Ice tea perfectly sweetened. I can't wait to come back and try the other menu items.

We enjoyed our light lunch and drinks, and our doggy loved her time on their porch with us. I got the Skinny Margarita. Can't remember hubby's drink, but we both got skinny margaritas for the second round. He got the steak bites and fries, which he said were delish. I got the tuna bites with fries and was happy. We'll be back next time we're in Port A!
