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.

Great location, but beware: the first time we visited, we ordered drinks and when presented with the payment screen, the total did not make sense. When we pointed this out, the bartender told us that the "system had automatically" added a 20% tip and he would fix it. We paid and left after those drinks. The next time we visited, this did not happen (different bartender), and we also ordered food. It was basic fried fare, and somewhat overpriced, but you pay for the view. Later that night, two of the three of us were sick.

Located in front of Hilton Garden Inn where we were staying. We were hanging out at the beach and saw a server going around taking orders so we took advantage of that. Food was a lot better than expected. We had wings and chicken tenders, both came with fries. Even the fries was really good . I asked to have 2 flavors for my wings , buffalo and garlic parmesan. When i got my order, I found out they mixed the two flavors together which was not what I meant lol. However, it tasted amazing ! How could I complain?! My hubby and son ordered drinks and they loved it. They had seating outside the bar on the side with music. We enjoyed that as well.

I am normally not a taco eater however, my daughter bought a few as we sat on the beach right down from Hilton Garden Inn and when I tell you they were soooo good to me! The fried fish and the fajita beef were good and they were not skimpy on the meat! We also tried the chicken and jerk shrimp. I bought from them three times and bought some to take in the roadtrip home. I recommend!

We recently discovered Barry’s Beach Bar on SPI. What a nice place with a good beach vibe! Lovely spacious deck with lots of seating outdoors and an inside area for cooler weather! Beautiful beach view from either option! The inside area has heaters so it’s perfect even when chilly outside. We have spent the past few Sunday afternoons on the deck enjoying margaritas and the live music. Two really good musicians are there on Sundays during Happy Hour They also have a very talented artist that has painted underwater murals on all of the indoor walls. It’s beautiful and unique! I met the artist one day when I was in there, his name is Marcos and he is not only talented but also kind! They offer a nice happy hour every afternoon. We indulge on the margaritas! Our favorite bartender is Elizabeth! She is a sweetheart! She makes good drinks and is very personable! Always has a smile and kind words for us! It’s nice to be welcomed! We appreciate her good service! I recommend Barry’s bar and look forward to another visit when we visit South Padre Island.

We spent an enjoyable afternoon here, just taking in the views with a few drinks. Our bartender George was extremely good. He mentioned they were doing specials in the evening, so we decided to go back for them. The food was very good and a great price. As were the cocktails.

Barry's is literally behind the beach. All we had to do was take a few steps and we got drinks and appetizers for the beach each day. They were reasonably priced and generous portions.

They are in an old Airstream in the deck between the La Quinta and Hilton Garden Inn. The brisket tacos were excellent as were the margaritas. Nice and convenient. All in all, great!

We ate here often because it’s located right on the beach, so when we got hunger or needed a beer, margarita we just made the short walk. They also have breakfast tacos which was a plus. You also get a front row seat to the Friday and Saturday night fire works that begins at 915. Also have a band playing Fri-Sat nights. Great tacos!

We go to the beach every other year and we like to try new things and we always have an open mind. One late morning we decided to explore a different option for a quick grab and go breakfast. Since we were on the beach, we decided to order some tacos and enjoy our coffee. We saw advertisements that used words that described the tacos as delicious and exciting! They offered a Gringo brisket taco. It was so salty it was unbearable. It had with very little brisket and a pieces of fried onion rings that was described as grilled onions. Then we also ordered a fajita taco that didnt seem like it was fajita rather grind meat. There was more tortilla and cheese than there was meat. We were the only ones ordering, so we figured our order would be quick, but it took a while. Then it made sense why no one was there! It was not an enjoyable experience and it was a bad disappointment.

The food was just soo bad. I would’ve been better going to Taco Bell. The chicken taco was fried (gross) and so was the fish tacos (extra gross) The appetizers were just bad. The service was great but the food is a Hell No!

Good dinner. Everyone enjoyed their food. The name here throws you off because it’s inside a hotel and named Barry’s International?
