Laura RamosJuly 10, 2018First time here! Great view! Shrimp fuego sounds spicy but it’s not. It’s delicious, shrimp stuffed w/ cream cheese and wrapped in bacon w/tasty sauce. Hubby had a steak and he said it was great.
Shane BoutzFebruary 17, 2015For those looking for a lighter meal, try the Bloody Mary! So good! Two of them and you might end up off the pier!
Walas GoAugust 15, 2014Everything is great, but in our last visit my wife and mom ordered "the Friday & Saturday Chefs Special" the price was the double compare to the others special $25.00 each, they should mentioned. 👎
Lydia RodriguezJuly 31, 2021WOW spectacular views at sunset. Be prepared to wait a very long time, but worth it. Mahi Poorboy was so good, and the Shrimp Diablos was amazing. Great service and delicious food.
- Tony TJuly 22, 2017We had a whole snapper Cubano style! The al-mojo-de-ajo was right on point! A rendered garlic butter sauce that youll drizzle over your fish! ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!
Steve YoungMay 16, 2018Pina Colada is great, breakfast waffles are as well. However, I never feel great after eating here (been here 5 times, having eaten different things each time). Might be something they cook with, idk.
Elizabeth SorrellsJuly 13, 2015If you take an Osprey cruise, come to Pier 19 for the $10.50 "Cook Ur Catch." Delicious and totally worth it for the fantastic environment.
Mariana Pérez TreviñoSeptember 4, 2020The dolphins were cool to watch. I got the coconut shrimp and you could tell they were, as Gordon Ramsay would say, “fresh frozen”. The batter was chewy. Couldn’t finish the whole thing. Good drinks.
Michael GonzalesJuly 13, 2013Best Seafood on the Island, Off the Hook. The Large Sampler Easily Serves 2. Try a Cervas Rita with Blue Moon beer & Peach Margarita Awesome- wolfie MAugust 8, 2013The cubano, the crab po'boy, mahi tacos and "KOA" po'boys are great. Try the piña colada; beach bum rum was too sweet to taste the rum itself.
AndrewGroveSanAntonio GroveDecember 1, 2019Great place while in South Padre. Unique set up being built upon old causeway but seafood is best I’ve had there.
Brandøn WeJuly 10, 2016Seafood pasta had crab, shrimp, scallops, muscles, crabs, and a choice for Alfredo sauce or Marinara. Alfredo tastes great.
Gaby VillalpandoAugust 31, 2014The Shrimp Diablo are a delight & if you like fried stuff then you MUST order the Large Sampler 😍🐷
Nastya MorhayevaJuly 30, 2014It's packed at dinner time and pretty empty for breakfast. Omellettes and eggs portions are not that big,but waffle dough is delicious. However,we had to wait about 25 min for the eggs to get ready:(- Jack AAugust 18, 2012Try the oyster rockies. The raspberry chipotle sauce brings a sweet smokiness that makes this one of the best appetizers on the menu.
ShowOctober 4, 2012Great food. Generous portions. Friendly staff. All around a very positive experience. Ask for Cruz as your waitperson. He was awesome!!!
Shane HudsonJune 10, 2016Great sunset view. There is a desk in the front where you can do the sunset/fireworks cruise for $25 a person. The food wasn't that great and the drinks were meh. Great view. Ok food. Ok service.
Brian BrownMarch 20, 2012The "large" sampler was about as big as the po boy platter... Everything else was fantastic. Go for one of the pasta dishes.
Chaky MuankaewDecember 27, 2011Great food, great service, cheap lunch. Cheap, strong and well made mix drinks. I'll be back next time.
Sammy BalogunMay 7, 2011Amazing food and great atmosphere!! Try the Mahi Habanero blackened or the Shrimp combo and you will be very glad you did!!
Phil MillerMarch 20, 2013Great views being on the water. Be sure to walk to the end of the pier too.
Chris ChavezMarch 3, 2012If your first time eating there, order the large sampler the coconut shrimp was awesome
Nicole ColemanApril 23, 2012Texas omelette is the way to go! Waffle was sub par but shaped like the state of Texas!
If youre here for breakfast the Bananas Foster waffle is bomb!
Byron EmersonAugust 15, 2010If you take a dolphin watching trip please take the pirate boat. Much better.
Maribel GomezFebruary 5, 2016Delicioso. Lindo lugar, vistas increíbles, buen servicio. Muy bien! Lo recomiendo!
