The Best Restaurants on South Padre Island, Texas | Eater Houston
"Since 1986, Dirty Al’s has been part of a group of family-owned restaurants, including Daddy’s Seafood & Cajun Kitchen and Josephine’s Kitchen. This original spot still serves Gulf Coast staples, like peel-and-eat shrimp, seafood tacos, po’ boys, and baskets filled with heaps of fried shrimp, fish, oysters, and chicken. If you came to South Padre with your fishing rod in tow, Dirty Al’s can also cook your catch in three styles: fried, blackened, or grilled. Like many restaurants on the island, the large outdoor patio gives you amazing views of the surrounding gulf." - Lane Gillespie
