Comes on toasted bread, sliced cheese and blue cheese, spinach, bacon and tomato. I asked for no bacon. It was still very good. I read reviews that service was slow but friendly. It wasn't slow, but it definitely was friendly. The parking lot was full. Inside there were plenty of people having a great time! The music isn't so loud that you can't have a conversation. The TV's has some sort of football game. Idk. I don't follow football lol Overall I would come back and also recommend this place. Side note: they have bison burgers and alligator bites if you're interested.

We're not from So. Padre. This Sunday evening, our group decided to try Bar Louie / South Padre…read moreisland based on a review for seafood gumbo. Clicked on review to get directions / map. A short 3 mile drive and GPS took us directly to the parking lot for "Clayton's" (NOT bar Louie). We pulled in, asked about Bar Louie, and were directed to the Courtyard by Marriott (bar Louie inside...a fact that is barely mentioned in all SM). Asked if we could park, "sure for $20!" We exited the lot, made a U Turn in Friday night SPI traffic and went next door to Courtyard. Parking lot full, no parking attendants anywhere, no ability to valet, AND no signage about BL. So we returned to Clayton's, paid $20, and walked up the ramp for Clayton's. No signs for Bar Louie anywhere that we could see. As we approached the beach, we saw "Mariluna's" which appeared to be a bar and restaurant at the rear of The Courtyard. Asked a security officer at Clayton's about Bar Louie, and he said "it's right there", pointing directly at Mariluna's. I confirmed his statement by saying "that's bar Louie?" (pointing at Mariluna's) He confirmed! I thought "Did BL take over Mariluna's without changing the signage". Starving and thirsty, we continued walking. Observing employees with "Mariluna's shirts inside the Mariluna's building, told me we were NOT at bar Louie. Still ...no signage anywhere pointing the way to our destination. We decided to walk toward the hotel. This is where we saw a small sign (first picture in post) showing the way to BL. Finally got seated, server took drink and food order. Food arrived and we received a grilled chicken sandwich instead of the grilled cheese sandwich we actually ordered. Easy mistake, Server corrected. Food was acceptable with the exception of the seafood gumbo, which, as a featured dish definitely calls for revisiting the current recipe). Restaurant was virtually empty. Our discussion returned to the difficulty we'd just experienced trying to find, park, and navigate our way from Clayton's to BL. The sparseness of customers became obvious to us. NO ONE CAN FIND THE FRIGGIN PLACE!! Finally, we speculated that either Marriott doesn't need BL to be profitable / successful, or the employees don't need the tips and are averse to making money. Based on our experience...Courtyard and BL are doing a great job keeping the location of bar Louie / SPI a secret from travelers to SPI.

Wanted to really like this place, but it didn't go well unfortunately…read more Menu has a lot to offer and some of their prices are a little steep. Browsed the menu & ended up just getting their "tossed salad". I asked what was on it which was; sliced tomato, shredded carrot, red onion & cucumber. Opted out of the cucumber & requested two blue cheese dressings. My husband ordered their cheeseburger dressed with pepper jack cheese. My salad arrived fairly quickly & it was on a flat plate with a weak portion for $7.75. The two dressings were in taco cups over flowing with a hefty amount of fresh blue cheese crumbles packed on top. Super disappointed with not only the presentation, the cost & never being asked if I wanted my salad prior or when my husband received his meal. I ended up pushing it to the side & was waiting for our waitress to return to not only ask if my husband would like another beer, but to also provide the option of not eating that ridiculous amount of rabbit food-getting a refund OR to bring out more lettuce & ask to please just bring out standard blue cheese dressing without the added amount of crumbled cheese. We don't see our server for sometime, so I went to the hostess asking if she were also the manager which she stated she wasn't & that they were at the bar.That's when our server came up behind me & asked if there was a problem. I explained the situation to her, then she tells me that this dressing is always served this way and that, that is what blue cheese dressing is! She seemed confused about the crumbles & was almost trying to mock me. I've worked in the food industry & know how these product come into the restaurants. Blue cheese dressing does have blue cheese "chucks" within the original recipe. If you are doing things differently then that, it should stand out more on their menu as "homemade" and again expressed by the server, but she made it as if I were just suppose to know their process. It's salad dressing, it shouldn't be this difficult! LOL After this fiasco, they brought more salad and a watered down milky dressing that had zero flavor and zero cheese along with sliced cucumber?! The consistency was like milk. It was running, bland, NO blended cheese in the base-it definitely wasn't blue cheese dressing! WT?! This ALL transpired while my husband was still waiting on his burger & fries . About another 15 minutes goes by, I finally had to just start in on the bland salad. My husband's beer still sat empty & was never told when his burger would be served the few times are server swung by regarding my order issues. 20 minutes later, she comes by again & he was asked if it was cheddar cheese & he said, "no it was pepper jack". A total of 30 minutes he waited for a very rare burger, cold fries & FINALLY another beer! Terrible service and food wasn't very good either.
