"We went to South Padre Island for our honeymoon last week and we really wanted some seafood. I was so impressed with how quick their service was and the portion size. For their crab and shrimp combo I think I paid around $40 and it was well worth it. I loved the environment and the food was delicious. We also got a few of their t shirts which are pretty cool as well."

"Very good food, very good service. There was four of us and we had a great time. Eating drinking and listening to music."

"We went here for dinner it is a nice casual spot for lunch and dinner. We ate dinner here we ordered calamari it was fresh and fried crispy with a nice portion. My husband had the Asian blackened catfish with baked potato and coleslaw. The fish fillets were very large and very flavorful. I had the 3 fresh catch Mahi Mahi, Tuna,and Salmon with baked potato and salad. The fish came with 3 types of dipping sauce. The fish was just ok and small portions for 26 bucks not worth it and they bland I guess because they were pan seared, I did get the salmon blackened it it more flavor. The Tuna portion had some tough gland on the inside so some parts were not edible. There were many choices on the menu that looked good but I wanted to try the fresh caught, kind of a disappointment. We also had black raspberry margaritas with premium alcohol it was supposed to be strong apparently but it wasn’t for us just more sweet drink that masked the alcohol. It did have a good taste more liquor could have been added though. Overall I enjoyed the visit, it was my birthday and my husband told Jose he was a great server but they didn’t sing happy birthday to me like they did at the other tables. That was another disappointment too!"

"Calamari was bomb, chicken friend chicken was good. Wish i coulda had a side caesar salad but they only had full sized salads. Not too hungry. Service"

"We ate an early dinner here on a Sunday afternoon in late October. Since it was beginning of “Off Season” it was not too crowded and zero wait. Our table view was of parking lot and street of homes, no ocean views available. The palm trees made it feel like vacation still so was okay. Our server was a young guy, very friendly and eager to answer menu item questions plus detailed the specials. When the food came, it was a lot so made the $20+ per plate worth it. It was decent seafood and sides. Only drawbacks were (1) there were flies buzzing around the windows near us, the table and menus seemed to have greasy films (2) a super LOUD annoying talker a couple of tables away from us cussed like a sailor and seemed to to think everyone wanted to hear his conversation at decibel level 1,000 and (3) Every (female) support staff not waitressing did NOT speak a lick of English. I found someone’s left behind cellphone in the women’s bathroom….when I tried to talk to a (female) staff member to explain/turn in, it took THREE separate girls looking confused, shaking their heads and speaking Spanish before I got an English speaking person to communicate issue to. This contributed to my feeling of being in an unfriendly atmosphere (atop the dirty feeling) and hence 2-stars. Overall, I could take it or leave it but wouldn’t go out of my way to go again or recommend it."
