We all ordered something different with the goal of being able to taste more of the menu. The menu is a well-rounded Southern American selection, and all of it is made in-house. It was a nice touch with the newspaper like menu, loved the decor and cabin home theme. The side salad was fresh; however, the house-made ranch was too creamy and too thick. There was potential with the cooked bacon mixed in, but the ranch flavor was missing. The cup of chili was great, similar to Wendy's chili if you needed a comparison. My meatloaf was good; the added carrots and topped crispy onions weren't too bad; however, the drizzled brown gravy was a no for me. The side of creamy grits and green beans and bacon were gobbled up! The cornbread muffins were a bit dry. Side of hash browns were good, a little on the oily side. The biscuit and gravy were colossal! Loved the gravy; the biscuits were a bit too doughy, almost seemed a bit undercooked, and for some reason, there seemed to be a lack of flavor in them. Enjoyed the ham and eggs. The pot roast dish was savory, and everything was nice; the veggies were a little over-seasoned, but I didn't mind them. The chicken-fried steak plate was a hit, I didn't even get a chance to take a solo photo. We had no room for desserts, and leftovers were taken home and appreciated. I'd like to add, despite ordering the larger versions of these meals, we only paid $68 and some change! The place was clean, the wait time was commendable, and the service was incredible!!! Despite the small misses, we'd still return. The majority of our food was great, and we left fuller than ever!

Nice new white PVC and blue mesh chairs, which we've seen all over SPI, must be the new thing. TVs in the bar were sporadic, one missing, a couple of the others shorting out.

Maybe it was the time of the year, but it struck us as a place where the bare minimum is invested, and they count on the great view to overcome the shortcomings... cannot recommend..,

Thanks to our awesome and very knowledgeable server, Fabian, for professionally assisting us in selecting the perfect seafood boil with just the right seafood items we both preferred; cooked with delicious garlic pieces sautéed in butter and mixed with a lightly spiced seasoning. Also included in the seafood boil were delicious sweet corn on the cob and small red potatoes. Plus more warm and crispy biscuits. So Thank You!

Ordered our drinks and found out they were out of Captain Morgan's so ordered one of their $4 margaritas...Didn't finish it, tasted funny. Drank Diet Coke after that. my sister ordered a tap beer and we were told that they weren't working so she had to get bottled beer. Husband ordered wings, they were out of them. Son ordered chicken fajitas and.....yep, out of that too. Had beef instead and not tender at all. Our friend ordered a burger and out of Fries so had to get onion rings. We liked the music they played was good and the guy that waited on us was nice even though we had to go looking for our bill.

I started with the mozzarella sticks. They were exactly what you'd expect--nothing particularly memorable, but they satisfied the craving. For my entrée, I ordered the deep-fried seafood basket with all three options: shrimp, oysters, and fish. Everything was perfectly seasoned and fried to a crisp without being overly greasy. It came with cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, and a small serving of coleslaw that balanced the heaviness of the fried foods nicely. The jumbo shrimp were sweet, plump, and succulent, while the oysters and fish were also delicious--exactly what my soul ordered. What truly elevated the evening was the atmosphere. Live music and a spectacular fireworks show over the water. The singer's rendition of the national anthem was absolutely beautiful and gave me goosebumps. Between the food, gorgeous ocean views, live entertainment, and fireworks, this was a memorable dinner and a great way to spend a Friday night on South Padre Island.

Service was very slow, I completely understand that it was busy but maybe the restaurant should have planned better for staffing. The waitress was very respectful and apologetic for the food taking so long (over hour and half). She apologized about 4 times over the span of the time, but nothing was offered or done about the extremely long wait for the food. Our food was not great whatsoever, it taste like everything was frozen previously and thawed incorrectly. The sampler came out cold, the fried basket was basket flavoring, the tacos were eatable, and the mahi mahi fish was okay.
