Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My wife and I went to Barry's Bistro yesterday while walking the beach watching the gulf as Francine passed by . We were greeted by the bartender Daniel as we came in from the rain. Daniel was all smiles, super personable, friendly and local. He made our day - making us some great margaritas and we tried the tikka masala and general tso's chicken - both super delicious. We had a great experience and will definitely be back!! Thank You Daniel!!

We stumbled across this place walking towards the beach. It was one of the only places that were open due to the weather and serving food and drinks. We were greeted by Johnny the bartender who was an absolute legend! He explained all the food in detail and made awesome conversation with us. If anyone is ever in south padre island please go and check out Barry’s bistro on the beach food was amazing and the price was cheap for the portion.

Great view and great customer services. We liked that we were able to sit and eat while my son swam and all with a great beach view. The food is good and they have quite a few different things on their menu. The customer service was excellent. They made sure we had everything we needed without us even asking. After the first visit down, they treated us like old friends the rest of the week. It's a great casual spot to eat and take in some views.

Fabulous experience at Barry’s Bistro located next to Clayton’s on the Beach. Barry’s has an incredible patio facing the Gulf of Mexico as it use to be the place of La Quinta and is transitioning to Sand Rose Resort.
Johnny the bartender at Barry’s Bistro made me a fabulous margarita with fresh juices and a splash of Grand Marnier and no premixes! You can certainly tell a difference. My husband and I also split a cheeseburger and fries. It was delicious too.
We highly recommend these folks as the whole staff from Robert the General Manager to Johnny the bartender understand customer service. Give them a try. You won’t be disappointed!

Location is fun right on the beach! The food was so good!!! Especially the shrimp scampi pizza it was hands down one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. My son had a burger and loved it, and the rest all had shrimp or seafood baskets and all of us thought it was great food.

Located behind the Sand Rose Beach Resort. We made several trips here, as it was on the hotel property, right out the back door by the pool area. The drinks are some of the best we had during our stay on South Padre Island. The hamburgers were very good. Prices for food and drinks were extremely reasonable and the owner was extremely nice. Highly Recommend.

I came to the nearby group of beach bars looking for vegetarian options. The veggie version of the tikka masala here is fantastic, which the bartender Johnny recommended. My favorite among the nearby bars!

This place offers decent bar food and drinks. I opted for Tika Marsala and it was pretty good. The large portion size allowed for leftovers. Service was prompt and drinks are cold.

Ordered delivery through door dash. Few minutes later, Restaurant accepts and is preparing order. 10 minutes later the delivery driver is at restaurant waiting on order. I noticed my order updates to now to be delivered in 20-30 minutes. Ok figured, busy day. 30 minutes later updates to 20 more minutes for delivery. ONE HOUR and 30 minutes later I received a call. Restaurant can’t fulfill order and it is being canceled. For a burger and nachos ? They didn’t know this
An hour ago when they received it ? Very disappointing

Stopped in for fun beach cocktails and burgers from a friends recommendation. So glad we did. Edgar greeted us when we walked in. He was very welcoming with a great attitude! Fast, great service and wonderful food and drinks! We had to come here again the next night. He told us about the fireworks on the pier and recommended things to do nearby.

We stayed at the Hilton and besides this place kind of blocked out beach view and was empty - they had great specials.
Our last night we stopped in for the 1/2 price wings and margaritas around 10:20 PM. Great late night snack and the wings were good.
