Great Q with a Coastal vibe?! Beachin 🤙 Plenty of seating in or out (shaded and breezy). Cool vibe with either. Sit down to order and our server Ally was a joy! Quick with drinks and answered all questions with insight and honesty❣️ So, service is awesome! My three meat was tasty and a reasonable portion. Great salty smoke bark on tender brisket; ribs tender and sweetish; sausage prolly not house-made, but good flavor; beans good and jalapeño corn is a Must! Her shrimp were crunchy and yummy and Brussels and broccoli both well-seasoned. So, food is awesome! Desserts looked good too, but we were full! Full bar, cold beer, sports on TV, and fun swag. Also just across from Shorty’s, which is convenient😎 Island Q…who knew? We do!

Professional service. The food was amazing. I had the smoked turkey and jalapeno cheddar sausage plus the cream jalapeno corn and fries. He had the brisket and jalapeno cheddar sausage, mashed potatoes and cornbread. It absolutely exceeded our expectations. The quality of the meat was great and flavor delicious. Will absolutely be going back.

Lovely eatery, food very nice, staff polite. Prices reasonably too The reason for 4 stars for food, although the food was excellent, my pulled pork was cold, perhaps it's the way it's always served there, but I prefer it hot. Thank you for a lovely experience. We will visit again on our next visit from England middle of next year

We had lunch at MacDaddy’s on Sunday. The wait for an inside table was long while seating outside was immediate. The weather was hot but sitting under the covered porch was surprisingly comfortable. The porch area had some large fans that kept the air moving so it was nice to be outside under the porch. The food was good. I had the MacDaddy burger and it was really good. Everyone at our table also said their food was good. Our server Joshua was also exceptional. He wasn’t the helicopter server but always seemed to pop up right when we needed something. He was funny, helpful and a great source of local information. And he seemed to take pride in his work. You don’t find many employees like that anymore so we hope to sit at his table the next time we are in Port A. Good food, atmosphere,

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Thulasi Ganesh · Oct 2025

We visited this spot recently and had a mixed experience. On the positive side, the food was genuinely good — flavorful and served in generous portions that left us more than satisfied. The ambiance was pleasant, and there was ample parking available on a weekday, though I can imagine weekends might get pretty crowded. Our waitress was lovely — attentive and kind, checking in both before and after our meal to make sure everything was to our liking. That kind of service really makes a difference. Unfortunately, our experience at the front desk was disappointing. The woman who greeted us was noticeably rude and dismissive, which made us feel unwelcome. There was an uncomfortable undertone to the interaction that felt, frankly, a bit discriminatory. It cast a shadow over what could have bee
