About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for scenic views
  • Romantic
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.

    We ate outside on the deck which was a lovely ambiance. The only downside to that is the sun & heat until approaching sunset. If you want to sit outside, book accordingly to have a very nice experience. Service and food were good.

    Good food, my husband LOVED his lamb chops, my seafood bisque was lovely, the crab claws were overcooked and I sent them back-which was a bummer but our server removed them from the bill, everything else was great and friendly staff!

    We always enjoy a meal at Liam’s when visiting the island. The food and service is consistently great. My stuffed flounder was delicious and my husband’s grilled flounder as well. He commented on how delicious his seafood bisque was and very filling. Servers were courteous and attentive without being intrusive. We will definitely return and we highly recommend this restaurant 💝

    Service was excellent, our server Sonny answered all our questions top-notch. Six of us had an outstanding meal and the ambience was amazing. Would highly recommend Liam’s for a nite out, the service, the food excellent, price is a little high but a great evening out is well worth it.

    Very enjoyable meal. Great view over the water and the food was excellent. None of us had steaks as the steaks were quite pricey but the pasta and fish dishes we did choose were excellent.

    We celebrated our 11th. wedding anniversary the food was nothing but, amazing at Liam’s Steakhouse and came out in a timely manner. Our waitress Julieta was very courteous and polite. We started off with an appetizer of garlic parmesan oysters, then for my main course I had the lamb chops they had a lot of flavor cooked medium like I asked and the baked potato was huge and delicious my asparagus was tender as well. My husband has the cedar plank salmon, bacon wrapped shrimp and asparagus all was cooked to perfection. They also gave us strawberry cake for dessert complementary to celebrating our anniversary. We highly recommend this restaurant.
