About this restaurant

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

    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.

    Alan, our server, was exceptional! Very attentive and helpful. The food was delicious. It was a “splurge” meal for us, but worth it!

    We had a fabulous dinner - bartender was great as well as the hostess who went out of her way to make sure we got a waterview table as we were celebrating a birthday. Our waiter was ok - nothing to write home about and didn’t bother to check to see how everything was and no recognition of our birthday even through it was out on reservation.

    Iconic restaurant, reminiscent of Hollywood style, great food & service, and a very wide array of food available. Fantastic sunsets on the bay can be seen from many of the tables, or in full view on one of their two patio areas. If you enjoy fine dining with a fantastic view, this is the place for you! Great drinks and desserts, too.

    I used to eat here a lot then it went really bad, I gave it another try about 3 weeks ago and it seemed to of got better, I booked last night and I am not exaggerating it was the wirst meal I have EVER had in ANY restaurant EVER, Manager had no clue what was happening, seemed like he was hiding, the lady serving was so embarrassed, but she was lovely, I actually felt sorry for her, it was like it had been seasoned 4 times by different people. Shocking, I would not recommend this place and it’s not cheap, after the appetizers I didn’t order anything tho g else still cost $90 but I just wanted to get out of the place, I bet they do not get many returning customers.

    Wonderful dinner! Great view. The only thing is they give you a loaf of bread for the table, but they charge you for butter to go with it. The most interesting and awkward thing. Just give butter with the bread? You are getting $150 for 2 people for dinner; but you charge for butter with the bread?

    Prim Rib was not very good and was tough. My wife’s ribeye was very good. I got the chipotle corn (don’t know it’s called that) very blan. Martini’s were good and so was the baked potato. Put on the special notes it was our anniversary and didn’t have one person say anything. Very disappointing experience.
