Lelo's Island Bar

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!

Friendly little restaurant with outdoor seating. They have THE best hamburgers, cold draft beers, and offer island drinks. You order from the bar area, then they bring it to your table. A must visit if you are in the Port Aransas area!

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.

Lelo’s was all around a 10/10. This place had AMAZING food. We went here multiple times during our stay because it was that good. Anything you get will be delicious and you won’t regret spending your money here. Atmosphere was fun, service was great, and like I keep saying the food was a 10/10 for every item we got.

Steak bites were perfectly tender, fries and drinks were amazing, my husband loved his burger as well.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would!! My fiancé and I kind of splurged since it was my birthday, and spent nearly $80 (our fault we were hungry and thirsty) but we have no regrets!! I’d do it all over again lol. For a starter, we chose cheese curds and WOW. They came out piping hot and delicious. We finished the whole basket. We also got a “mermaid water” to share and let me tell you. That thing was LOADED with the adult juice. Next, we both got the steak bite baskets and I think we’re in love with Lelos. Best steak I’ve ever had. Melts in your mouth, tasty, delicious. We discussed making the 5 hour trip back to port A just for lelos…
Atmosphere was cozy and friendly. Impeccable island bar vibes.
Service was super fast and everyone who treated us was friendly.

Also you can make this much cheaper if you just get your entree and regular drinks… as I said we decided to splurge and could’ve spent half of what we did.

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!

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.

Ok. This place was great! Busy! But well worth the wait! Not to mention Maddie! That girl was on fire! Don't lose that employee she was killing it Saturday.. our food was so good and tasty! Drinks was amazing! Thank you!!

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.

Had an excellent time here. The line was long but the bartenders were quick and it moved pretty quickly. Different drinks are posted on every chalk board, so there's something for every taste. The food was tasty, and the portions were large. Took half a chicken sandwich for a second meal later. We played card games we brought with us, and the wait staff had no issues serving around our games.

Even if the hamburgers here were puny I would still hang out at this place for its drinks and its great atmosphere, perfectly located, friendly staff, food comes out in about 15 minutes very well prepared, patio and Interior are on point. this restaurant has earned a 5 review. Don’t hesitate just stop by and enjoy .. best burgers in Port A.

Food is fantastic and despite not having a kids menu it is very kid friendly. Large outdoor space contains Jenga, giant connect four, corn hole and other toys for young kids. Inside has shuffle board and Mrs pacman/galliga that you can play for free.

We came for lunch with two young kids and had a great experience. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel at home the moment you walk in. Mouth watering menu (great burgers!) and a fantastic choice of cocktails, all expertly made. There is also a small play area outside for kids.

The old lady at the bar only gave us half a shot. My husband overheard her saying she works on tips. It is not my fault you work on tips. Get an hourly job that is your choice, not mine . I paid for a full shot, and that is what I should have received. Poor service all around. Decided to give the bar a third chance and the gentleman was amazing and gave me full shots and a great conversation.

What a great experience! Staff is friendly, hard working, providing fast service on a very crowded hopping night. Best food I’ve eaten in about ten years. Plenty of indoor / outdoor seating. The locals were very welcoming (made you feel like family) and the tourists (including myself and sister) were having a blast just taking with everyone. Adults and kids alike were having the best time. Highly recommended.

We come at least three times a week, and not once have we had a bad experience !! Even during the busy season! The burgers and steak bites are still my most fave on the island!! The staff is super kind and funny! This is now my go to place on the island for my protein meals!!

I've eaten here a half dozen times and each time deserves 5 stars. Each of the times except once there was a different person serving behind the bar and taking food orders. In a day when finding good help in the restaurant is a rare thing, it's not so rare here. Everyone working here was a joy to deal with, and my oversized tips reflected it. On another note, I'm from South Dakota, and chislic is a big thing there. I ordered the steak bites, thinking that's what they call it here. To my surprise, it was not chislic. Chislic is a cheap cut of beef cut into small bite size pieces then deep fried....pretty good stuff. BUT, this was truly "steak" bites. It was cut up steaks that were tender and juicy and seasoned to perfection. As good as any $40 steak at a premium restaurant. I'll be back. Thanks for the great service, pricing and food.

The food and drinks are incredible. I cannot come to Port A and miss Lelo’s! It is so good. The atmosphere is so cute and if there is a wait, it is very worth it!
