Dorado's Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Aransas Pass

My friend and I heard Dorado's was open and had made some exciting changes......so, we popped in to see what was going on. Immediately, I was greeted by Beau who was genuinely excited we were there and so friendly. By the time I made it to the bar, Taylor greeted me, and already had our drinks being prepared by an incredible bar staff! It didn't stop there. Before my 2nd drink of ice COLD beer, we had a menu in hand, and fried shrimp poboys on the way! The food came out fast and perfect. I got the tater tots for my side and my friend got the home fries. Beau checked on us and made sure everything was perfect. Taylor, a superstar, ensured we wanted for absolutely nothing. All of our bar staff had smiles, were so friendly, and had fresh drinks ready as we got close to even asking. Tiffany has always kept good track of us, at the bar. Taylor explained how fantastic the music this last weekend would be, and with her contagious smile, convinced us to come back every night this weekend! We enjoyed some of the best country music I've seen in a long time! The customers seemed a mix of tourists and lots of locals. The locals were very friendly and welcoming, also. The vibe of this place is exactly what I hope for when searching for a new "locals" place to call home. I have no doubt when I return, my beer will already be open and waiting. Yeah, they really are that good. Last night, without a word, our favorite drinks were literally waiting on us after Taylor saw us come in from the parking lot. I can't wait to go back. They've got all sorts of Facebook advertised specials for food and drink. I think there is another poboy in my immediate future. There's a ton of places to choose from in this area.......go here. You won't be disappointed. Even if you were, tell Beau or Taylor. They will go out of their way to make sure they do right by you....

When we got there with our small dog that was leashed, there was a larger dog on a leash that we walked by. That dog was a little pushy to ours so we sat away where it could not get to us. The owner of the dog was sitting at the bar and seemed as if he was a regular there. After a few minutes his dog was off leash and at our table. I picked my dog up and the larger dog was jumping on me and my husband trying to get to our dog. I finally went to the owner and asked if could please leash his dog as it was jumping on us. He did but then he again unleashed it and was looking at us and just smiling. We had to leave because of this. It is a shame that what is apparently one of your regulars treated another customer that way. We come here often and though the food was good, we will not...

On Saturday April 8 we went to eat after fishing like in our previous fishing trips. This time the customer service was the worst that a person could receive. Waitress was rude and unprofessional. Ignored me and someone else had to tell her to take my order, proceeded to take my order and left me standing with out a word, someone else saw me standing and ask if I need it something I told him that I need it to pay for my order. I told him waitress left and didn’t take my payment and he just side smile. Waited a long time for my food and when she finally gave me my food, food was soggy and nasty. Food was giving to me with out any utensils and napkins. not even owner care after he was notify of accident. No apology or anything. Definitely...
