Katie is so friendly! I had an issue ordering on the app but she fixed it for me without any complaints. I walked inside & everyone smiled. They were really slammed but everyone was working hard & moving fast. We ordered here on Thursday May 19th, I just haven't had a chance to post the review. Thanks for being awesome Katie!

10/10 stars every single time I visit this sonic. The staff is so incredibly kind and care a lot. I live very close to this location and I have come here ALOT within the past t. This is my favorite sonic in Texas! The food is wonderful and always made the way I order it from the app. Not to mention, this is also one of the cleanest sonics I have EVER been to. The landscape is beautiful and the view of the channel is remarkable (especially at sunset). If you have a negative experience at this sonic please don't let it stick with you and please be patient. Sometimes it gets busy but the employees never stop and work super hard to keep people happy. I see it all the time. They are wonderful!

Fast service and there were a lot of people! Order came out correct and no problems with ordering. We ordered a sonic blast, 2 kids meals and 2 burgers cost was almost $26.

Crispy Chicken Tenders and Onion Rings

Horrible. Bought the chicken strip dinner with onion rings and EVERYTHING was burnt. Took to go thru the drive thru so no returning.

As I have said in the past I rate all fast food places on the level of service and friendliness. Today I had a great experience at the sonic. I had to 9 year olds that could not make their minds up Mike was awesome and got the order perfect. Thanks Mike!

DINNER!

Tea was brewing and took 10 mins and a reminder to the waitress that I had not gotten my tea yet. Our table ordered pickle chips. 15 mins later waitress comes back and says they are out of pickle chips. When our food came out 30 mins after no fried shrimp for the fish and shrimp platter. Waitress says, "we are out of fried shrimp." Miscommunication or not hearing led to two small pieces of extra fish and no shrimp at all . And extra waiting . No refills except when we asked and sat for another 15 mins after finishing to get our bill. I ended up walking to the register and asked for the bill. They did give us credit for the fish and shrimp platter but tried to charge us for pickle chips we didn't get. More miscommunication. Everything culminated into a very frustrating visit.

Their food is shipped in and premade, they just deep fry it. Star of the show was the hamburger - very tasty! The air conditioner drips condensation on your food as you eat. We happened to be sitting under the large white moldy ones, so we lost our appetite when we looked up.

I was not prepared for the line! Very long lines both mornings. To keep the line moving quickly, look up their menu on your phone and know what you want before you reach the counter. I ordered a Chai and the cucumber toast. It was my first time trying cucumber toast and I love it. It was so good! Bonus that they have gluten free bread! The place is made from storage containers and it's super cute. Local artists showcase their art for sale on the walls. They also have a drive thru.

We sat on their outside patio bc we had our dog. They offered me a pup cup which was so sweet. I ordered a hot tea, I believe it was like some fruity black tea. It was delish! I love hot tea, and yes I even drink it in summer, sue me. At first the barista made it wrong and handed me an iced tea. When I told her I had ordered a hot tea, she remade the whole thing. Their teas are loose leaf (LOVE that), and obviously there is a steeping time, so I had to wait twice as long due to the error but that's ok :) they were super friendly and nice and their products were delish! I also got a chocolate chip cookie to pair with my tea and omg it was decadent. YUM!

I'm obviously in the minority when it comes to this restaurant. My dad has eaten here several times…read moreand insisted that we give it a try. He is usually a pretty good judge of restaurants, so I trusted his recommendation. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a mistake. Our server, A.K.--whom my dad has affectionately called "A.K. 47" for years--was wonderful. She was friendly, attentive, and did an excellent job. If you decide to visit, I would highly recommend asking to sit in her section. I ordered the oyster and shrimp plate, and unfortunately, it was disappointing. The shrimp were acceptable, although I have certainly had better. The oysters, however, were gritty with dirt and did not appear to have been properly cleaned before being fried. Both the shrimp and oysters were coated in a flour-and-cornmeal batter. It was fine, but nothing memorable. The coleslaw had absolutely no flavor, and I'm honestly not sure why they bothered serving it. I wish I had taken a picture of the plate because the presentation was just as unimpressive as the meal. That said, I was not expecting anything fancy, so perhaps I should not have expected much more. The atmosphere was typical for this type of restaurant--casual, basic, and nothing fancy. It appeared clean enough and was generally what you would expect from a place like this. Overall, the excellent service from A.K. was the highlight of the visit, but the food was not good enough for me to return.

With three younger kids, finding somewhere that they enjoy and that the adults also appreciate can sometimes be a challenge. On this visit, my cousin's wife recommended Surfside Sandwich Shoppe, so we met her and her two kids there and also invited some friends who live on the island. The first challenge was actually finding the place. Even with GPS, it's surprisingly easy to drive past because it's difficult to see until you're almost directly alongside it. Parking was also very limited and a little challenging with our group. Inside, most of the space is occupied by the kitchen and bar, while the outdoor seating area is considerably larger. The outdoor area worked well for the kids, with a chalkboard and some large stackable toys to keep them occupied. I ordered the Cuban Press, while the kids went with burgers. They also have a pretty extensive drink menu. We tried the margaritas, which were okay, although smaller than I expected. Unfortunately, the food took a very long time to come out, and a couple of things got lost along the way. They forgot our mozzarella and marinara appetizer as well as the broccoli salad I had ordered as my side. My Cuban Press was very good, although it's not a traditional Cuban sandwich since they use pulled pork. Authentic or not, I enjoyed the sandwich and the accompanying sauce. The kids were happy with their burgers as well. I didn't get a chance to try the shrimp bisque, but others in our group had it and reported that it was excellent. Overall, there were things we liked, particularly my sandwich and the outdoor area for the kids, but the very long food wait and forgotten items made the experience less enjoyable than it could have been. With a larger group of kids, it also wasn't necessarily the easiest place for us. We might come back without the kids and sit inside to enjoy the bar, or I'd consider grabbing a sandwich to-go in the future. The Cuban was good enough that I'd certainly eat it again.

So why then did I even bother to try it out you ask? I have seen on Padre Island Facebook pages mentions that the service is not so good, but the food is always been good. The neighborhood groups were not wrong. It was really slow at 7:30 pm on a Saturday mind you it was pretty cold by Texas Gulf Coast standards. I ordered an Old Fashioned and that's something I know a little bit about and when the bartender put it all in a glass and shook it like. Margarita I knew it wasn't gonna be good, it was not good. I did order a cup of gumbo and it was alright I would order it again. For my entree I ordered the stuffed shrimp plate and it was pretty good too, I would order the entree again.

I will certainly give it another try because the food was good. Sorry didn't take any pictures :(
