Restaurants In South Padre Island

As you can imagine, one of the main draws to South Padre Island is the cuisine.  It is not every day you get quality seafood and South Padre Island definitely does not disappoint.  Probably most recognized for its world famous shrimp and red snapper, South Padre actually boasts a wide variety of seafood including, crabs, clams, lobster, oysters, and a number of different types of fish.  If this hasn't started your mouth watering yet, maybe the appeal of more traditional Texas food such as steaks, burgers and beer will.

South Padre Island has a number of different restaurants that should meet your food interests and various price ranges.  We recommend trying an assortment of them as good food can be had in just about all of them.

Still, some restaurants stand out more than others.  One place at South Padre Island would definitely have to be Scampi's.  This local haunt is especially good at providing quality seafood in an upscale setting.  Other places that carry a lot of appeal for families incude Blackbeards, Amberjacks and Sea Ranch Restaurant.  Not to be undone by the great seafood, South Padre Island also has its own brewery at the Padre Island Brewing Company.  It is a great spot to get a great beer, ribs, pizza, and red snapper.

Another advantange for tourists is most of the restaurants are geared towards the tourist crowd.  What this means to you is you don't have to get all worked up over dress codes at South Padre Island.  Our laid back approach to living filters into the restaurants as the dress code is casual just about everywhere.
