    Easy to miss, tragic if you do. The real deal is inside.

    Wish it was open more than it is, that's for sure. Cutsey name...I challenge you to get it right. Some seriously good BBQ. Our second time to visit and it's every bit as good as the first. We heard about 'em from a spot they did on the radio with a local talk show host. Really nice people who most definitely know how to cook the different meats. While it's easy to drive by the building without noticing, it's 1500 ft from Gollihar heading towards the freeway. Nearly across the street from Oil Town Express. It's take-out only, no sit-down. No problem as they get the product out quickly. They're open 'til sell out and that does happen, so best not plan your visits towards closing. Our first visit I got a three meat plate and wife ordered the Notorious B.I.P. potato. So we had the spud (something wife says the owner made a deal of on the radio) and I ordered brisket, sausage and pork ribs, potato salad and beans. Brisket was exceptionally tender,with a nice bark, sausage had decent snap and flavor, the rib meat simple fell off the bones. I wish I had taken a photo of the plate as the helpings were generous (Oh, wait, I DID!). The BBQ sauce was tangy with a touch of heat but not overwhelming. I WOULD say to not order three meats unless you can really put away a lot of beef. I did it for the sake of trying their widest offerings. And of course, I shared with my wife. She loved her potato but ordered her second one (today) without the jalepeños. I did the same...no peppers for me! I have to point out that the potato salad is currently my favorite from a BBQ joint or restaurant. It's not mustard-y at all. It's just delicious. Come early and be hungry. I just wish they were open more than Friday and Saturday. I think they'd kill it. If I had a suggestion to add, it would be that maybe to offer a sauce with less spice (heat) and perhaps back off the pepper on the beans. Might be something to draw in customers with slightly more timid taste buds.

    Brisket ribs and sausage a must try!!!

    Great food. Everything I've ordered so far has been really good…read more We have been several times in the last couple of weeks that's how good it is. Everyone that works there is nice and go out of their way to help you. I'm usually in a hurry so i get our food to go. Going back this week.

    We spend a week in Port Aransas every year and have been making an effort to try some of the…read morerecommended local spots each trip. 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.
