About this restaurant

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

    The food was so delicious and the service was impeccable. The only thing that marred the experience was a family behind us that was incredibly loud talkers and on their speaker phones. The child was better behaved than the parents. But would totally recommend!

    Heard about Liam’s on a TV program in Houston and decided to try the restaurant for dinner. We had the mushrooms stuffed with shrimp, oysters on the half shell, and the grilled oyster sampler for appetizers. All were delicious. Steaks were the boneless ribeye and prime rib. Sides included mushrooms, asparagus, and fully loaded baked potato. The entrees were fantastic and we all took togo containers. Service was top notch and very pleasant.

    Liam's is always a celebratory destination for our family. The service is top notch, the view is stunning especially at sunset and the food is in par with any high-end restaurant on the mainland. The offerings for all aspects of dining is all encompassing and expertly prepared.

    The food was awesome. My group was running 15 minutes late, and when I called to explain and ask that our reservation is held they told me they only hold the table for 15 minutes, however upon our arrival the restaurant was empty - lots of open tables. It was mentioned that it was my birthday, and I received a complementary slice of cake, however they gave me that before I even ordered food - I had to request that they hold it until we order, eat, and are ready for desert. Overall our experience was a bit rushed at the restaurant, mainly due to customer service.
