This place is like no other oyster bar. It’s very limited in seating. You do have to make reservations, but you will not be disappointed, The oysters are very good. There on ice in front of you as you sit down and the shrimp are as well. It’s hard to explain how they have the setup. You just have to try it.
It’s small! But its physical size does not compare to its presentation. Yes, you have to sign up to go in! Yes, it is a busy place. Your 7:30 entry time might not be till 7:40 or so, but they clean the place really good and stock it afresh in between “shifts!” The fresh shucked oysters and jumbo shrimp at bar side are amazing. Crackers galore Toppings galore. Staff is amazing as are the clientele! It just doesn’t get any better! You have an hour to eat and then you gotta get your butt out of there cause it’s the next shift’s turn! Though I’ve gone there for the oysters and my shiner bocks, I tried the caviar last time and it was exceptional. The menu looks amazing though I’ve not tried it, but from what everyone else tells me and from the way people tackle their food barside you know it’s gotta be great! If I wasn’t such an oyster freak, I’d dive into the menu. KC’s you are a Port Aransas masterpiece. And may I say to the mayor and city council of Port Aransas. In a town that is tourism centered why would you even begin to fine anyone for providing chairs outside to sit in while they wait for their turn inside? It’s tourism and people friendly! It makes sense! Hey, I’ve got an idea! Make an exception. Or change the rule/ordinance on the whole! No, I don’t live locally, I’m from that terrible city of San Antonio 169 miles up the road! But that’s gotta be the most ludicrous and ill-fitting rule I’ve ever heard of! Dumb comes to mind!
Great experience and friendly service! It’s an intimate setting but a lot of fun and the food was PHENOMENAL! Best meal I’ve had in Port A in years.
