About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for fine wines
Alfonso Salazar, better known as “Dirty Al” originally started shrimping as a young man with his father and 6 brothers. In 2003, he and his youngest son, Cameron, who graduated from Culinary School, transformed his bait stand into a restaurant where together they have been known for having “The World’s Best Fried Shrimp”! In 2005, his other two sons returned home to help grow the business. To this day, they now own 7 restaurants on beautiful South Padre Island and across the valley and continue to bring only the “best” Gulf Seafood to each customer’s table.

    My prime rib was pretty good, but 1/2 of it was pure fat. My wife's ribeye was way undercooked--ordered medium, came out almost raw. Sent it back to kitchen--still not cooked right. Her baked potato was supposed to have butter, chives, bacon. It came out with butter and cheese. She returned the entire meal--we got full credit on the bill. But she had nothing to eat. This restaurant has a long history and has always been good in the past. Management has a problem in the kitchen and needs to make changes.

My wife had a Roma pasta and it to was absolutely delicious over all the experience was amazing sitting by the window facing the beach with a beautiful sunset in the back was to die for overall Liam’s was a great place to dine at and I would highly recommend it for a nice dinner out.

    A gem of a dining experience on SPI and in South Texas, Liam's offers casual coastal elegance with a five star culinary dishes with a favorite for everyone. A masterful bar tender and complete wine list top off one's dinner. The waiters are friendly and everyone makes you feel appreciated for joining them. Liam's is a much anticipated experience with every visit to SPI.

    The sunset view and fireworks show after our meal around 9 pm was the best part of this place. There was a slight odor in Liam's that was a bit off-putting. The food was ok, but nothing fabulous and the waiter we had was a bit odd. There are definitely better places on the island. Nothing was terrible or inedible, but it also didn't blow us away in any stretch. We likely won't be back but it was nice getting to watch the sun set from our table and finish the evening with a public fireworks show that was enjoyable.
