Baby back rib special was way too much for one person and ribs were overcooked and dry. Gumbo had too much sausage but is usually much better with some seafood. not your usual gumbo. Rest of the food to our table was excellent. It is a great place to go and stick with the regular menu. All desserts are wonderful.

The drinks were great, the food very good. The only problem, too many steps for older folks! We had to use the service elevator to get down to our table! Beautiful views made up for the inconvenience.

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.
