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.

    Starts with battling for a parking spot with non-customers there for fireworks only. Ends with the bar shutting down without notice. Always something at this place.

    Food was great. Awesome view of the bay. Wait staff was wonderful. The only issue was the noise. Sounded like a kids playground. I can’t hold that against Liam’s, just people that have no control over their children. Will be back for sure, will just request a table outside.

    Liam's SPI is always a hit! From the food to the view and service, we always enjoy dining at Liam's SPI. We enjoy the view of the bay and the food is always fantastic. And of course, Julieta always takes very good care of us! Can't wait to visit again.

    The food was really good and we had a nice server. The only issue we had was the availability. One of the ladies in our group ordered an Appletini. She always orders on there, but the mix was unavailable for the night we were there. Then she ordered the prim rib sandwich. You were out of Prime Rib. She was trying to decide what to get and the waiter suggested the ribeye. She didn't want to pay the price. She commented that it was too expensive and she didn't want to order something the expensive. He told her he would "make it right ". We assumed he was going to discount it for her. Should have gotten that in writing! Not the case, anyway after several minutes with the manager he took $20.00 off a $121.00 bill which had she gotten what she ordered her bill would have been around $55.00. This was handled very poorly, so we are going to have to rethink taking our group of 9ladies there in the future.

    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.
