Where to Eat on South Padre Island

South Padre Island also features some of the best restaurants in the state. While SPI is known for its seafood, there are many other types of foods available.

Again, here are the most popular:

  • Blackbeards – the most popular restaurant on the Island with great prices and large atmosphere. Be sure to ask for the onion rings and chicken fried steak. Got a big group? Bring them here.
  • Sea Ranch – upscale and a bit on the expensive side, but rated by national magazines as one of the best seafood restaurants in the nation. You also get water front dining. Live entertainment. A local landmark.
  • Scampis – Premier island restaurant with Bayside dining, seafoods, fine wines, pastas, and prime meats. They usually win local shrimp festivals.
  • The Lost Galleon Seafood Restaurant – this is a very small restaurant, sort of what you’d find in New England with its slanted roof and thin walls. However, the main attraction is the all-you-can-eat seafood at very low prices. Very popular with the senior citizens and tourists who are looking for great food and great prices. Located in Port Isabel across from the Lighthouse.
  • Beef Eaters Smokehouse – an excellent BBQ restaurant that compares with the best of Central Texas/Austin BBQs. They have an all-you-can-eat buffet with a large variety of meats, side items, and salads. Located in Port Isabel next to the Lighthouse.
Many other fantastic restaurants are available on SPI or nearby. View a list here.
