Gilbert was our server and did a great job as always! He knows how to read the table and is always available but never smothering. The food was great as always too! The recommendations (Ono and Churro Ice Cream Sandwich) were greatly appreciated.

Tuna steak was good. Noodles had to much salt. To salty. I did not tell the server if I had done so I’m sure they would have replaced my meal.

Great service and delish food! The lobster pasta bake was enough for two and the shrimp Bisque with the vol au vent pastry dome was a great presentation.

About the restaurant
Alfonso Salazar, better known as “Dirty Al” originally started shrimping as a young man with his father and 6 brothers. In 2003, he and his youngest son, Cameron, who graduated from Culinary School, transformed his bait stand into a restaurant where together they have been known for having “The World’s Best Fried Shrimp”! In 2005, his other two sons returned home to help grow the business. To this day, they now own 7 restaurants on beautiful South Padre Island and across the valley and continue to bring only the “best” Gulf Seafood to each customer’s table.

It was a dinner tonight celebrate our anniversary and I wanted something kind of special. The atmosphere was very warm and cozy. We were seated by a window overlooking the LagunaMadre as the sun was setting. Linen tablecloths and Napkins “proper “ wine glasses and silverware. Our waiter was helpful and his suggestions on the starters were spot on. The boneless ribeye was perfectly done and the bacon wrapped shrimp were marvelous. We will be back for another special occasion.
