I…read morewent to purchase food for my father, who is a veteran, and was previously informed that a veteran discount was available. When I asked to use the discount, I was told it would not be honored. The owner was incredibly rude and unprofessional, stating that she had changed the policy and would no longer offer discounts to veterans, first responders, or police officers. While businesses have the right to change their policies, the way this was communicated was unacceptable and showed a complete lack of respect. It is especially disappointing to see veterans and first responders treated this way. I expected better customer service and professionalism. Needless to say, I will not be returning, and I would not recommend this establishment to anyone looking for respectful and professional service.

These facilities are brand new, beautifully decorated, spacious, clean, and was packed today, Sunday afternoon. At 3 PM we had a 20 minute wait, and the line became longer during our visit. I was there with friends. The menu can be found online at the link. While they specialize in seafood, they also offer fajitas and other beef dishes. We started off with chips and salsa and some seafood soup broth. Then our entrees arrived. I got the red snapper "al mojo de ajo" (with garlic). It was served with rice, salad (which had no salad dressing, Mexican style), French fries, and toast (similar to Texas toast). They offered tartar sauce, lime, or various hot salsas to add as you wish. My food was well prepared and delicious. The French fries were hot and crispy. The fish was fresh. The rice also had a good flavor. I enjoyed my meal. The atmosphere is half sports bar (large screens everywhere) and half family restaurant. Half of the screens had sporting events, but the other half had images of cute animals like puppies and bunnies, which kept children entertained. There were also many game fish of various kinds hanging on the wall... whether plastic or taxidermied real fish I do not know but it was done tastefully. My only other comment is that there was enough noise between the customers and the TVs, that it was challenging for me to hear my friends' conversation. The server did a very good job and was attentive to our needs. I'd definitely return. I enjoyed it, and if you like Mexican style seafood, you will also.

We were with our friends so we waited till their food arrived so we can all eat at the same time and our food got cold (totally our own decision) but thankfully we informed the manager and they reheated our food.

I was waited on pretty quickly, I think the waiter was just waiting to see where I settled. My waiter Aaron was friendly and attentive, and *tried to suggest something. The problem was, there were too many things I wanted to try! I settled on the fried oysters with a side of cajun fries. The oysters had a delicious seasoning and were well cooked. My only complaint was I felt they had too much breading to appreciate the oyster inside. Again, the breading was delicious - just too much. You get about 10 oysters.The fries were well seasoned as well, and quite plentiful. For dessert I had the caramel banana pie. It looked delicious, but for me, it was just too over the top. For the expense, I certainly would not order again. Speaking of "expense", this place is more in the "medium" price range and not something I would go to on a regular basis for lunch. It was good, and definitely maybe more of a dinner spot. Nice change of pace kind of place!

Popcorn shrimp: this is like any popcorn shrimp you have had at any restaurant. It was good. Then ordered a stuffed crab.

For our main meals: Two of us (including myself) had the Red Snapper Rockefeller which was the best thing I've had in a while. There three cheese sauce is something out of this world. The other two individuals had the Kings Stuffed Flounder. They both very much enjoyed it and it came with the same three cheese sauce as well. The fried potatoes were nice and crispy and paired well with the three cheese sauce. The corn was perfectly seasoned. Can't wait to go back again.

I've been a customer at this establishment for years and I can no longer keep my disappointment to…read moremyself. Let's be honest, Dirty Al is doing us dirty. First, let's talk about the fact that the air conditioning (or lack thereof) is a HUGE problem. It never works. It's always HOT. Last weekend I visited and they had 2 stand fans running... because once again, the AC was out. Think about that... the AC was out in the middle of Summer. Are we to believe that this restaurant doesn't make enough money to either fix or purchase a new unit? To add insult to injury, the wandering busboy didn't want to turn the ceiling fan on high. That is both unacceptable and ridiculous. Next, let's talk about the food. It's become so-so at best. The once delicious seafood stuffed jalapeño was soggy inside- a mush of tasteless filling that had a few pieces of hard, chopped up shrimp. The french fries had no salt... my question is are they skimping on basic seasonings or are the line cooks just lazy? Most likely both. Lastly, out of all the seafood restaurants in the RGV, Dirty Al's has the WORST cocktail and tartar sauce. In fact, it's the worst I've tasted anywhere. How can that be? Those two sauces are standard and not difficult to make. When Long John Silver has better sauces, you're in trouble. What a shame. What a waste of money. Dirty Al, do better. Bring back the days of delicious food in a comfortable setting. Perhaps it's time to sail off into the sunset.
