We went to Cap'n Roy's based on Trip Advisor reviews. At first we were a little underwhelmed after eating at other South Padre seafood places but the quaint and friendly atmosphere, the food, and the price won us over. Most meals are around $10-$11 compared to $20+ at other places. The raw oysters were large and plump, the blackened shrimp... More

My family of 4 and friend's family of 4.5 decided to try this spot based on previous reviews we had read. We walk in with smiles on and were told by a young lady it would be 25 minutes before they would be able to put some tables together. We decided that was very fair and began to wait. About... More

We went on a Sunday. Nice size crowd for the day. Island was crowded. The AC wasn't working great so we got warm. Salsa is very HOT. We asked to switch it out for Queso and the waitress did it with a smile. Had the Seafood Platter, grilled and it was good but nothing to rave about. Over all an... More

Looking at the reviews here I figured I would be getting some kind of extra good food at Roy's but my wife and I were underwhelmed. Its the same old fried fish, shrimp, and potatoes you can get at just about any of the 'seafood' restaurants in SPI. My wife ordered their signature dish, a variation on shrimp diablo. Wow,... More

We had a late lunch at Cap'n Roy's yesterday on a Memorial Day visit to South Padre. What a treat! My wife had the enchilada plate and the shrimp lover in me went for their award winning Camaronitas Diablitos. Wow! It's been a while since I've had something so good. My only regret is that I went for the 6-shrimp... More

We decided to try this place based on the good reviews, and were not disappointed. It's not a straightup seafood restaurant, so don't go here looking for the latest fresh catch or a menu full of fancy fish offerings. But everything we tried was delicious - fish veracruzano, shrimp basket, enchiladas, and the camaronitas diabolitas were amazing. Service was excellent,... More

We were greeted by Ana who sat us under a fan. It was hot that day. I ordered the Fish Tacos and my husband had the seafood plate. I had never eaten fish tacos before and let me tell you they were out of this world. The sauce was perfect, the fish was perfect, the rice and beans were perfect.... More

I didn't want to go to this place, just by judging the looks of it. But we ended up eating here twice! we went fishing and brought our catch here it was AMAZING. cap'n Roy was there himself

I have passed by this place for years and never stopped. Recently I was wanting to try some new places to eat during my trip to SPI, so was reading reviews here. We decided to give it a try based on the reviews and want to thank those who took the time to post them. This place exceeded our expectations!... More
