I would go back. Food was good, restaurant (during our visit) was not too too loud which was nice. I ordered the fried and blacken catfish it was a TON of fish and actually really good. Worth the visit to check it out. Husband and I's dinner (no alcohol) costed $52 (with a 20% tip), a tad pricey but again,... More

It's really great place to be if you wanna eat fresh fish. We tried stuffed shrimp and Mahi Mahi. Little crowded. But loved the quality of food.

WE had the all you can eat catfish on Thursday night and was a pretty good bargain for $10 person. There is a special every night.

Drove all the way down to south Texas for fresh seafood. Several people in Brownsville and South Padre Island recommended this place. Couldn't believe no views whatsoever. Just a mediocre place with mediocre food. Much better food at someplace like Red Lobster. This place was supposed to have great shrimp. We ordered some fish medley plate, and the shrimp was... More

Food was good, but I was expecting so much more by all the recommendations I received from others. Prices seemed high, but we are in a vacation destination...

I ate the wahoo club sandwich and it was very good. Would have been great but it was a fish patty instead of fresh fish. My wife had some potatoe skins and they were just ok. We also had a shrimp cocktail and the shrimp just didn't taste right and smelled like it was kept with the fish. It was... More

My husband and I ate at Blackbeard's last night. He had the seafood salad (it was HUGE and had blackened mahi-mahi and shrimp) and I had the crab stuffed shrimp. Great food and wonderful service! It was after spring break and midweek, so the restaurant wasn't busy. Had a great time and a really great supper! Well worth the time... More

We arrived SPI around early dinner time and my husband, son (16 y/o) and I were very hungry. My husband is a stickler for only attending "chain" restaurants because he likes to know what types of food he can expect. Well, SPI doesn't have any of those, SO, we read through some reviews on Trip Advisor to find a regular... More

This restaurant is super good food, service, prices, venue and it's got it all. The chicken fried steak is to die for. The green beans are the best that I have ever tasted and the mashed potatoes are real. When I order this meal, I automatic order a "To Go" box so that I can have another meal later. The... More
