    Chicken teriyaki sandwich
    Rachel E.

    We stayed at an Airbnb in the Nemo Cay resort complex of townhomes and this place was right behind us and a super convenient walk (once you find the gate in the fence by the pool). We picked up breakfast from here and then grabbed lunch later as we headed to the beach! All of the breakfast sandwiches we tried were great! the Cuban - so meaty and filling! The smashed avocado - so refreshing with a balsamic glaze that makes even a non-veggie person happy to eat this! Bacon and egg - exactly what you would expect. All $8.50 and very worth it! For lunch, I was content with my teriyaki chicken sandwich - with moist grilled chicken and not too much sauce. Husband loved his Philly cheesesteak one! And the dipping sauce makes it even better.

    We get a moment to ourselves and my wife gets this tuna mayo disappointment, I get Philly cheese which resembles dried Mexican beef jerky. This is our 3rd or 4th time, and each time gets worse. How is this place still open.

    Great on all accounts - atmosphere, service, and food. We had a great visit to Surfside Sandwich Shop. In between bites, we even got in a good game of UNO. Exceptional experience.

    My only complaint is that I didn't try this place sooner! Both mine and my husband's sandwiches were absolutely delicious. The staff were super friendly and helpful with recommendations for what to pick. If you're looking for a laid back island vibe, this place is a must visit!

    Surfside Sandwich Shoppe (SSS) in North Padre was a perfect late lunch spot for our group of road-trippers as we waited for our condo unit at Lively Beach just down the road to be ready for check-in. If you like to come into Port A via Corpus to avoid the wait for the ferry, this would be a great place to stop before you turn onto 361. The SSS interior is charming with cute beachy décor and cold A/C, but we would have been just as comfortable on the breezy, shaded patio out front. There were books & board games and other entertainments available while we waited for food, and each table came with disinfectant wipes so we could give everything a quick cleanup - Mama likes! The menu has something for everyone, with some coastal TexMex tacos and quesadillas, a long list of sandwiches, several salads, a daily rotating soup selection, 5 kinds of desserts, and a full bar of adult beverage choices in addition to the usual bottomless soft drinks and tea. Oh, and there's even a cute kids menu with all items priced $5-$7 with a side of chips or grapes. Happy Hour is daily from 4p-7p with $4 selected adult drinks and appetizers. That price point is from the 1990s where I live, so I will definitely be coming back for that next time I'm in the area. My O.G. blackened shrimp tacos were SO good and the portion was large. Our teens enjoyed their quesadillas (one got pulled pork, the other got the chicken), and the lone sandwich eater had nothing but praise for his Surfside Turkey Club. I had a few bites of that one, too, and it had everything I love about a deli-style sandwich: super fresh ingredients, yeasty, toasted homemade-tasting bread, and balanced helpings of all components. What else? The staff behind the counter were super friendly and our food came out pretty quickly considering it was all made to order. Checkout was simple via smartphone wallet with Toast tab; love that!

    Great hidden spot. The food was fresh and tasty! It's a small place, but I got lucky that is wasn't very busy yet. But I could see it filling up fast. I've had my eye on this place for several years, to try. Finally did it today. And I'm glad I did!! Hidden gem that I hope stays around. It's very chill with about 15 seats inside. And then they have an outdoor patio you can eat at. It will hold about 25 more people out there. And the have games you can play while out there. I will be back again for sure!

    Great place for sandwiches! Inside is very small but there is more outdoor seating. We called ahead (highly recommend that since they are very busy), and took the sandwiches to the beach. The sandwiches were all delicious! We had the potato salad and cole slaw sides. The potato salad has a little kick to it, so good! Definitely recommend this place for sandwiches! It's also a bar - we didn't try any drinks.

    Surfside is a little cozy restaurant with a cozy indoor dining space and outdoor seating. The food was delicious as we had the yellowtail sandwich and the Baja shrimp tacos. Super delicious and the staff was very friendly. Water is self served and is fine.

    Fantastic! Blackened Mahi Mahi!

    Great burgers and sneaky good wings. Wait can be long when crowded, but it's worth it.read more

    Padre Island Burger Company gets a solid 3/5 from yours truly, and honestly mate, I'm being…read moregenerous because the atmosphere and seaside setting did a fair bit of heavy lifting. let me explain myself properly. This place screams modern tourist burger joint. The sort of establishment where every burger arrives with twelve unnecessary toppings, a quirky name, and a price tag that makes you briefly consider checking your credit score before ordering. Quite frankly the place should be renamed "Upcharge Central" or perhaps "Tourist Burgers Built for Photos, Not Stomachs" The outdoor seating itself is lovely though. Proper island atmosphere. Wooden picnic tables, sea breeze rolling through, cold drinks sweating in the Texas heat, tourists waddling about sunburnt and optimistic. It's the kind of setting where you want the burger to absolutely save your afternoon. Unfortunately... Mine did the complete opposite. I ordered their "world famous" Lulu Burger, their take on a jalapeño popper burger, and I genuinely believe it may have been one of the worst burgers I've had in the last couple years. Now look, I'm not against creativity. I enjoy innovation. But somewhere along the line society decided burgers needed to become science experiments. The moment that completely sent me over the edge? A massive slab of cold cream cheese slapped directly onto the burger. Not melted. Not slightly warm. Not blended into the burger. No mate. Refrigerator cold. The sort of cold where you could practically still see the HEB dairy aisle condensation on it. Completely threw off the texture and turned every bite into a confusing mess of hot beef meeting Arctic dairy product. Absolutely criminal behaviour. Now to be fair, my lovely date ordered the Hangover Burger which was noticeably better. Fried egg, bacon, cheesy goodness, all the things you'd expect after a rough Friday evening involving tequila and poor decisions. Still overpriced for what it was, but at least it tasted like somebody in the kitchen had a coherent vision. The sweet potato fries were actually quite decent as well. Crisp edges, soft middle, solid seasoning. No complaints there. Maybe I'm old school. Maybe I'm too particular. But when I think burger joint, my mental checklist is simple: Hot burger. Balanced toppings. Quality beef. Reasonable price. No culinary jump scares. And unfortunately this place missed the mark on several fronts. 3/5. Lovely atmosphere, decent service, and a fun island vibe, but the burgers themselves simply didn't justify the hype or the price tag.

I got some weird purple stuff on my hand and what looked like a booger on the other side - clean the menus! Check them! Thats the first impression!!! My husband wanted the black drum but they were out sadly. I ordered the crab cake Mahi. I inquired rather it was stuffed with the crab cake or there was just one of each... waitress i formed me the crab cake covers the too of the fish like a crust. Unfortunately, im lactose intolerant so I can do cream base sauces which is all it seems like anyone has, so I just had them put lemon pepper butter on the pasta. It was good, the fish could've been seasoned better, without the crab cake there wasn't much there. Presentation needs some work. My hubby settled for the Po'Boy, ps the french fries are really good!!! Battered kind! We also got calamari as an appetizer, it was good rings but needed a lemon wedge & more sauce. I drank a Cocomo - just tasted like coconut - one and done. I think the wait time (15min) for waitress to bring us a box for my son and the check after she had walked by like 3x and not made eye contact or noticed we were empty played and pushed everything aside. I finally got up and asked the hostess for the check since we were sitting near the door. She did have several tables spread our all over the restaurant, so she was busy, but if you'll prioritize those that are done, it keeps your tip high, and then that table can be turned over. There are plenty of screens with college football and baseball on them on a Saturday night. Steady flow of people in and out, but not a wait. Wish they had legit outdoor dining because the weather and breeze was nice out. It's located in a shipping center, so there's plenty of parking, but not really a view, easy to access if ur headed off the island to the bridge, otherwise traffic can be a mess for a minute.

The server was not very attentive- for example, I asked for the added Brussels, bacon and onions as an add on to the tenderloin tips but I never got them. We also waited a while for drinks and we had our order taken about 30ish minutes after we got there, despite the lack of customers. She was very nice but the service was disappointing. The meat quality however, was really great and both dishes pictured were perfectly cooked, totally recommend the little Jane. But the tenderloin tips left much to be desired literally, because it was not much food at all. For 20 dollars, I would like to feel fullish, but it felt more like an appetizer or tapas than a full meal. The other people in my party got a special (the beef stroganoff) and chicken Alfredo, which both were good, not spectacular. The part that was enjoyable about the pasta dishes however, was the fact that they have different pasta specials, so you could get the Alfredo with linguini or the specialty pasta of the day or week (I don't know which). The pineapple mojito was noteworthy as well, fresh and you couldn't taste the alcohol at all. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing but it wasn't a very positive experience, especially for the high bill. Will I ever go again for dinner ? Probably not Will I go for drinks? Absolutely!

On our most recent visit, the steelhead trout appetizer was rancid. I mentioned this politely. While the new bartender was professional and tried to make it right by offering a replacement appetizer, it never arrived. Our food then took well over an hour to come out. Although I didn't complain, the bartender noticed the delay and comped a round of drinks, which was appreciated. When the meals finally arrived, my wife's grilled chicken was significantly undercooked. She got a full bite of raw chicken. My lamb had good flavor but was inconsistently cooked, with rare pieces despite being ordered well done. On our previous visit, my mother-in-law ordered the crab cakes. Her meal was served about 25 minutes after the rest of the table, and the crab cakes contained almost no crab. She ultimately did not eat her dinner. She brought this to the manager's attention at the time, and no effort was made to correct the issue. This is now two visits in a row where I've watched family members leave without being able to eat their meals. The bartender clearly understands service, but the kitchen execution and management response are where things are breaking down. I'm sharing this in hopes that ownership or management takes a serious look at consistency, food safety, and follow-through. This restaurant used to be much better, and I'd like to see it get back there.
