Seafood & Spaghetti Works

So we came here for dinner after driving all day. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. I got the mussels appetizer as my meal and lord in heaven was it amazing. Everyone loved their food and we all basically licked the plates clean lol the price was affordable and the portions were perfect! We visit Port A every year and this is now our favorite restaurant. We will be back soon! I cannot wait for more mussels lol

This was my first time at Seafood & Spaghetti works and it did not disappoint! The food portions are worth the menu cost and are enough to share. The waitstaff were really nice, service was fast! They also have a great bus staff that clear the tables fast. We did have to come a little early because later in the evening the wait can be long. Very popular spot! We will definitely go back, because there was so much on the menu I wanted to try.

While we didn't enjoy it as much as the first time we went, the appetizer is still one of the best I've ever had. They were busy but we were seated right away.

So disappointed in our total experience here on Thursday evening. We were told it would be a 10-15 minute wait. I went to the bar to order two drinks and while I was doing that, my wife was seated at a table. Just as I sat down at the table, the hostess TOLD us they needed to seat us at a different table. They moved us to a table near the window with a better view, however our new server was overwhelmed with tables. Her frozen mango margarita had a great flavor, but was served way less than full. My wife asked the server about it and he brought her ICE CUBES (in a frozen margarita) to make it appear full!!!My meal (grilled shrimp) was good, but for $32, I only got three shrimp, wild rice and overcooked steamed veggies. My wife's meal was almost inedible - she had the fish pontchearain with blue cheese sauce. The sauce was very grainy, as if the cheese had separated. Her mahi mahi was gray and didn't taste fresh at all. At no point did our server come to check on us - we literally didn't see him from the moment he delivered the plated, until I had to stand and flag him down for the check. While paying, I asked to speak with a manager and was told that none were currently available to speak with customers!!

New owners not as good as previous owners.Long time resident in port A, really miss the pre Harvey salad. And soup bar.

What a gem in Port A!! We came for a long weekend and of course wanted some local seafood. The service and food did not disappoint!! The fried shrimp and oysters were so yummy and order the home made bread pudding for dessert!!

This time around was a poor experience. Our wait staff got one of the orders wrong, food had to be replaced. WaitedAnother 20 minutes while my food got cold. I ordered the red snapper but that's not what I got. It's not the same texture of what I ordered. Be very aware of what you are given. He didn't come back to the table until we were ready to leave. Their not as consistent as they use to be for a Thursday. Very disappointed!

We must concur with the average of our Yelper colleagues... Seafood and Spaghetti Works is, on average, an almost 4-star restaurant. We went on a weekend night, off season, and the food was just good. Kind of what you'd expect from a seafood/Italian restaurant in a tourist area on the Texas coast. Generally good food but overpriced. For the buck, as they say, there are better up-scale options on the island! We started with cocktails, a margherita and grapefruit martini, both good and came out quick. The cr3ab cake appetizer was good, mostly crab, little filler, but the sauce that was served with it was a bit sweet.Continuing on the "a bit too sweet" theme... we had the chicken chili soup next, which was surprisingly sweet. We asked our waitress about it, and she came back and explained they use creamed corn in the recipe, not simple corn. The soup was too sweet...For entrees we had the fresh fish special, red snapper, blackened, and the scallop and shrimp pasta. Both dishes were good, seasoning on point, the pasta was a nice al dente, and the butter/garlic ratio was good. We inquired about dessert, and most of the dessert options had "cheesecake" in the description, so we decided to stop at the store and grab some Blue Bell on the way home. That ended the night on a real up note! LOL

We always stop by when in town as the service is so friendly and the drinks are well made. I had the grilled snapper which was a wee bit dry and my husband ordered the blackened chicken. The seasoning was very good but the chicken breast itself was really weird. Sort of curly on the edges and not at all shaped like a chicken breast and looked like mystery meat which wasn't very appealing.

Delicious food! Great atmosphere!The service was prompt even though the place was bursting at the seams!
