Went on a Thursday night and sat on the patio. Our appetizers came out pretty quick but then we waited 2 hours for our food. We were drinking beer and we weren't starving so we didn't complain. When the food finally came out, it wasn't very warm and wasn't that great. We will not go back. read more

I could not tell you what the food was like. We were seated and waited for 15 minutes, never had waitstaff come to our table. We stopped one of the staff members and he said he would try to get someone. Never happened. If you just want a beer and do not care about service maybe this is the place. It was "lively" for sure. Live band outside. karaoke inside. Add in a bunch of over served patrons and it is a bit of sensory overload read more

Decent affordable food right on the beach. The drinks hit the spot! This place is literally located right on the beach in the middle of

We came down for a romantic sunset dinner and drinks over the beach to celebrate. Unfortunately no one was Covid-safe, and this was pre-vaccine. No staff, no customers. The angle on the patio is sort of odd - the sun sets behind the building unfortunately, so, not really a place for a sunset drink. The inside was too unsafe, so we didn't spend time in there. Just generally felt uncomfortable. But, maybe it's fine post-pandemic... if there is a post-pandemic... which requires... Covid-safe choices. read more

The fried calamari was a great way to start off our meal. Our mushroom Swiss burgers were absolutely delicious! The buns were very soft and sweet which we happen to love. Both the fries and onion rings were golden brown, crispy and fried perfectly! To top it all off, our waitress was fantastic throughout our entire visit! So, it's a no brainer that we will definitely be back! read more

Food was pitiful and seemed to all be microwaved, service was slow, ambiance was fine but nothing that would make me want to come back ever.

Counting ours, there were a total of just three tables. We were ignored despite a server passing by us several times. No one asked us if we'd been helped, if we'd like water, nothing. After making the decision to leave, we walked by three servers all staring out the window behind the hostess area, chatting away while oblivious to the fact that customers had just walked out. read more

Food and service are good. The ambience is fine. Surfside won't be the same w/o The Red Snapper Inn (I've barely recovered from losing The Purple Cow), but it's nice we have good alternatives. read more

Besides the view and music not much more one can expect. Food is as bad as it comes, oysters weren't shucked right or fresh, and our waitress wasn't even concerned about her service and how bad she was. They have swings and live music so we had a good time if you focus on that and not on what you ate and the darn staff that can't get things done well. read more

Wow! We haven't been to Beachfront recently, but went to their brunch this past Sunday morning and enjoyed it so much we went back for dinner. The food was really good and seemed like from a scratch kitchen! We can't keep coming back!! This place is sooooo good!! It must be under new management or something but it is completely different from last year. We keep coming back multiple times in a day. We are so happy to have Beachfront on the island! read more

Such a cute place, and such excellent service! The food was good - and the restaurant was super clean! Our waiter, Colton Z. was amazing, and the views were incredible. So relaxing, and just walking distance from the beach house we rented :-)! Would highly recommend! read more

Under new management and this place is now a fabulous place, not only for the view but also for the service and food! The fresh oysters are so tasty! The crab legs have this amazing seasoning that make you want to lick your fingers! Our server Vickie was outstanding and was so wonderful that I would request her from now on! So much to do from pool tables, patio meal, games downstairs, tables with swings and even hammocks! Must see this place to appreciate! read more

Grilled catfish was so good and onion rings. Husband liked his grilled shrimp tacos too. Service was great but salad was forgotten. Charging for credit card payment was a put-off to the end of a nice meal. Only second time we have been charged that in Houston/Surfside/Galveston area. You have to pay for water also as they said they did not have unsweet tea (diabetic here). I know the water tastes ucky in Surfside but the other places have it and with lemon it is ok. We will be back though! read more

Crowded, a bit loud, but some of the best food on the beach. You can tell the crowd here has been enjoying a long day in the sun with a drink in hand. They carry the party with them into the building. Good food and good vibes. read more

Beachfront Deck Bar & Grill - Calamari and Queso - Bars Near Me - Surfside Beach, Texas

I got the Redfish. It was good-seasoned well. The dips on the side were not good (cocktail and tartar, I'm guessing). But the fish was perfect without any sauce. The fries made my tummy hurt but I do have tummy problems. My guess is it's breaded (gluten). I also got the loaded mashed potatoes which was good. The Redfish came with a ceasar salad which was also good. I tried to order ceviche but our waiter said they don't serve it anymore. The menu is different from the pictures on yelp now. Check their website for an accurate menu. Right when it got dark, the mosquitoes had warfare with us. It was bad. read more

Food was terrible, service was terrible. The table didn't get all their food at the same time. We had to ask for our drinks several times. The outside spot was nice, musics was average. Outside drink prices seemed high to me. Over $7 for a bottle of DosXX.. Only plus is the access to the beach.. read more

The service was fine. It took a long time to get drinks, but it wasn't the fault of the waitress. We got crawfish because we had heard good things. Apparently the owner's wife started cooking them today. They were overcooked, EXTREMELY fishy, and not even close to 3 lbs. The waitress took it back when we said something (we only had tried 3 single crawfish). As she was walking in, she let the owner know, and he said he would only take 1/2 of the price of the crawfish off but no more. Even though it was pretty much inedible and he had hardly eaten any. We were also planning on staying and drinking before that. Instead, we closed out. The place is cool, the waitress was good, but we definitely won't back. read more

Great ambiance with a great view of the ocean. Horrible service. Do not come here is you want normal or fast service. Their time is slower than island time. read more

Beachfront Deck Bar & Grill - 25 mins and still no 2nd beer - Bars Near Me - Surfside Beach, Texas

We've eaten here several times and our food has always been good. Like many people we have been itching to get out and have a sit down meal. There were sanitizing wipes as you entered and social distancing was being observed (there is plenty of room to spread out) The owner came by multiple times to check and make sure everything was going well. Chelsey, our server, was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. We ordered the crab stuffed jalapeños and split a shrimp poor boy with onion rings. Everything was very good, and my husband especially liked the onion rings- not overly breaded as some places can be. It was a good experience and if you want a cool place to hang out there is also a great area downstairs. read more

First time I came was winter. Service was slow and good was meh. Figured it was out of season. Came back during the summer. We were sat and after 7 minutes of no service, we left. Two table were sat after us. They both saw their waitress. Seemed like locals but I don't know. The menu is sparse. The place is for sale. I haven't been after 10:30 (adult only bar)! I hope the new owners put together a great menu deserving of the location with a skilled staff. read more

What's a $4.65 service fee for 4 people? Shrimp in the tacos tasted, and looked like, they came from a can. Chewy nasty oysters. Waitress is only redeeming quality. FYI you pay extra 4% when using card. read more

Came here today and had a delightful experience. I sat outside and had a great view of the beach. Not too many people here. Service was really good and waiters was very attentive. The bathrooms are clean and the food was delicious. The Calamari has cheese on it which I felt was not needed and took away from the flavor of the dish. The beachfront burger was delicious and I have no complaints on it. I do feel my experience was a great one, but keep in mind I came in off-peak beach season. I hope to keep coming back to this place and trying out more of their menu items in the future! read more

Fun place to spend a couple of hours! Good food and atmosphere with tons to do from hammocks, swings and beach activities on the lower level while upstairs provides for great music with indoor/outdoor views. The wait for our food was a tad long, which is why I removed a star. I would strongly encourage folks to pop in if they're in the area! read more

We are here twice while staying at the RV park in front. Service was good and food was good both times. Typical bar food for the most part, so I wouldn't come expecting a fancy meal. We did enjoy everything we ordered. They also worked around my "crazy" diet and that was helpful! read more

I went today after a fun beach day with my best friend, walked in and everything was good! host was very nice, and i (mistakingly) thought that our server was really nice! we were chattin and havin a good conversation before we ordered. i asked her for a Watermelon redbull (keep in mind my best friend got a tropical redbull lol) she said they might not have it, thats perfectly fine! ive worked restaurants before, i get it! so i told her ill just get something else if they dont have it, she said okay, we ordered an appetizer. she comes back with 2 tropical redbulls, and i told her that i didnt like that flavor, and thats its fine, dont worry bout it. its cool lol. it was not a big deal at all. she then gets the WORST attitude ive ever seen in a restaurant, and says to me "um, you told me you wanted a tropical redbull if we didnt have any watermelon????" im sorry but why would i ask you for something that i do not like? that was a LIE.she straight up lied to my face, trying to say i said something that i absolutely did not say. I KNOW WHAT I SAID. IT CAME OUT OF MY MOUTH. she then walks away and my friend felt bad i didnt have a drink and flagged down a different server, and SHE. My FRIEND, talked to this server. and VERY POLITELY said that the other server brought the wrong drink and that i dont like this one, I THEN said to her could i just get a sprite? thank you girl. WORD. FOR. WORD. i didnt even say 2 sentences to this server, she then goes to the first server who got my order wrong (WHICH IS NOT A BIG DEAL.) and tells her.. that i was YELLING AT HER? which is absolutely a bold faced lie. they have cameras. LOOK AT THE FOOTAGE. they had other people there. i would never just randomly yell at someone doing their job?? I work too!! then, first server then comes back with my sprite and says "you know. you should really try and be more respectful, and not yell at the servers. " with the worst attitude, EXTREMELY rude. I caught SO off guard, because that LITERALLY. DIDNT. HAPPEN. i then leave, im not buying from a restaurant that casually lies and disrespects people giving YALL MONEY!!! my friend then takes her food To-Go, the servers all then decide to starting talking badly about me, and the situation. throwing insults, and making rude remarks about MY APPEARANCE. they made my friend CRY because they were SO RUDE to her and me. we had the best girls day together too and just wanted to get some food, i didnt do anything and i was treated ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLY MY FIRST TIME COMING TO YOUR ESTABLISHMENT. if i could give this place a -5 stars, i most definitely would. dont go here unless you want your server to insult you and spread lies about you, IN FRONT OF ALL THE CUSTOMERS. AND THE STAFF. absolutely DISGUSTING behavior from a grown women who looks over 40 years old. read more

My husband and I went down to Surfside to spend sometime walking on the beach and enjoying the ocean before the summer crazy started. Before making our drive back home, we decided to stop at the Beach Front Deck Bar & Grill for drinks and an appetizer. The view was amazing. You're so close to the water you could actually feel the building shake from the wind. My first stop was the bathrooms which are outside of the restaurant and around the building almost like gas station bathrooms. The stalls in the bathroom are so small that the old woman in the stall next to me actually had to open the stall door to be able to pull her pants up. I ordered a Melon Ball and my husband got a beer. The Melon Ball was extremely sweet and very low on the alcohol content. For a $8 drink, I would have hoped their had been a splash more alcohol than there was. We also ordered calamari which was okay. read more

This restaurant was on the beach and that started our great lunch of a Shrimp eatathon. The view was spectacular with cars driving down on the beach and people throwing out nets to catch fish. This made our lunch much more appetizing cause every thing we ate was fresh. read more

Do not go by the restaurant's website for food options or pricing . I had lunch at this restaurant with a very large group . I was shocked to see that the prices on the actual menu were double or more from what we saw on their website . We had no option but to pay them . We are a retired seniors group and most on limited incomes . The service was haphazard, and the waitresses had no knowledge of the menu options when asked questions nor had eaten them themselves because of the cost . If you plan to use a credit card at this restaurant, plan to pay an additional 4% . The food was good. However, the condiments and silverware had to be requested after the food was served. By the time it was all said and done, I paid $28 for a hamburger, onion rings, and a drink. The best part of this experience was facing the water and enjoying the waves of the day . read more

I have been here since 10 and haven't got a waitress til 10:40 and when she came up she told us that we couldn't order boil seafood because if you can close that part down at 10:30 it was the worst service ever read more

The view and atmosphere are the only perks to this place. It's overpriced and the food is crap.

We had a good meal here. Service was slow, but nice people. We had crawfish, as they were in season, and they were excellently seasoned! My only gripe was that our appetizers took way too long to come, but they were good when they did finally arrive (seafood nachos & fried appetizer combo). The shrimp and grits was really nothing to write home about. It was pretty bland, and did not have the "full of flavor" seasoning that you come to expect when ordering shrimp and grits. Nothing like you would get in New Orleans, or any Texas Cajun restaurant. It started sprinkling while we were sitting outside on the uncovered deck, and the waiter didn't come check for awhile to see if we wanted to move inside, or come to see if we wanted our check so we could get out of the rain. Overall, mediocre service, mediocre food. Nothing special. read more

The food was just ok, the view was probably the best thing about this place. There are better places to spend that kind of money at.

Great atmosphere and friendly service! The place my be understaffing in the kitchen? This was my second time there and the wait time for food is ridiculous! Greater than an hour on both occasions!
