Lelo's Island Bar, Port Aransas TX

I don't have anything negative to say. It just wasn't my kind of food preference.

This place is amazing kind of like a hidden gem.had the steak bites and they were AMAZING and the service and friendliness of the staff is unmatched

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.

This is a nice little bar with burgers and other bar fare. My wife and I loved the tropical drinks and laid back vibes. Staff was friendly, attentive and smiling. We went twice during out weekend visit.

Update: the food menu is refreshed but everything else, especially the friendly people are the same.

Waited an hour on a Saturday to get average food. The staff works hard but evidently, they are too short. Never again. Wasn’t worth it.

Great food and strong drinks! Fun atmosphere with good music. Service was friendly and FAST! Indoor and outdoor seating.

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!

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.

Food was way overpriced, the atmosphere was nothing to brag about, and the service started out good and went down as the dinner went on.

Had drinks only. Was ok but for an Island Bar near the cost I expected a bit more atmosphere. Tiki drinks were ok but limited in variety.

My wife and I dropped it for some drinks. I had the Wild Watusi and my wife had the Greentea shot. They both were outstanding. The atmosphere is perfect for the area. I felt like I was on a tropical island. Totally recommend this place.

They have some very good drinks, I'm not a big alcohol fan. I got the blue Hawaii, and it tasted as good as they normally taste. Also, my wife wanted to try the wild watusi. That drink is probably my favorite because it doesn't taste like alcohol at all, and you could easily get drunk without even knowing:). The cheese curds are amazing, and if you are someone who likes French fries and a patty melt, this is the best place for them. I 100% recommend you to try the wild watusi if you are someone who likes fruity drinks.

Lelo's is a regular stop for us! My kids and I love the atmosphere and food. My pickiest of kids loves the steak bites and edemame. I love all the burgers!

Had the patty melt. The food came out great and the service was warm and welcoming.

Only knock was the parking situation but it's an island so it makes sense.

Fun place with good staff, drinks, and food. You probably won't be disappointed if you go!

Went inside to check if dogs were OK they said yes sat on the patio. Been outside for 15 minutes still no one's come out

Fun little place for burgers. We had a spiked peach tea, and a banana colada. The banana colada tasted great but neither drink was very strong. Overall decent experience.

We celebrated here during my daughter's Bachelorette weekend. It was during Hurricane Hannah. We practically had the place to ourselves. The staff made our night. They were so much fun.

Awesome burger. Jack and Coke was on spot! People are really friendly here. Nicest staff we've run into in Port A. Definetly will come back when visiting Port A!
