Description: "The gastropub movement is well-represented on South Padre Island at Padre Island Brewing Company. Rotating draft selections include several styles of handcrafted suds; Texas Long Board Lager, Tailing Red Amber, and Speckled Trout Stout are among my favorites, when available. If you can’t make up your mind, get the “Sampler Tray,” a tasting of all five beers currently on tap. The menu is extensive—“peel and eat” shrimp, spicy wings, and fried calamari are popular appetizers, as are the chips-and-guacamole combo, ceviche, and nachos. The bar has won an award for its pizza, but I recommend the burgers. If you’re really hungry, order the Texas Burger, a double-patty, one-pound monster topped with jalapenos, mushrooms, and cheese. From the seafood menu, beer-battered shrimp is an obvious choice, and the tuna and flounder are also excellent." From Texas Highways Magazine, June 2015

This place has GREAT beer and GREAT food! Loved their Blond and Wheat beers!!
I had a spinach salad with grilled chicken. They make a pesto dressing which was delicious. Husband had a burger and onion rings which he really enjoyed.
The best part about this place was the servers. SHOUT OUT TO CARLEY who remembered where we said we were going next, and she called that place to let them know that I had left my purse in the chair. Needless to say, she made what could have been a huge headache, no big deal.
I highly recommend you try this place next time you're in South Padre!!

This Brewery is a popular spot. We just supposed to be there during happy hour 2pm-6pm. They had pitchers of beer for $10, pints for $3 and margaritas $3. They also had some food. We did the pick 3 and it was fried appetizers. We also ordered the blackened fish tacos. Everything was good, Their drinking water is really good. The waiter said they have especially good water because they use that in their beer. We had a very helpful waiter and good service.

I had a wonderful Pepperoni Pizza. The crust was tasty and chewy. The sauce was delicious. Plenty of pepperoni. My wife enjoyed her Calamari which was lightly breaded and tasty.

Had two meals there on my four day stay on SPI. Both meals are really good; a big plus is their beer is ice cold, from draught and brewed locally as well. They rotate their taps, so it’s best to enquire what they have.

The food is equally as good as their beer, had the Mexican shrimp cocktail and they provide plenty of shrimp. Had the oyster po-boy one day and the Gulf flounder trifecta on another. The seafood is excellent as well and you can choose to have fish done either fried, grilled or blackened.

Service and value for money were excellent as well. The atmosphere was bright and welcoming. Only feedback I might offer is a patio or beer garden might also work for those who like a cold one whilst sitting outside. Great place in all to have a quality meal with a cold beer.
