“Wow where do I even begin? If you love adventure like me and trust me I do (my first shroom experience was at Daddy's)...then do not hesitate to come here! It's a very welcoming atmosphere. My fish was extremely hot , so 2 thumbs up for that. My waiter was so polite and used my nonbinary pronouns without me even having to correct them which I think my fellow nonbinary friends will appreciate. I'm fixing to drive 6 hours just to eat here at DADDYS! Thank you Daddy!“

“Been to this location many many times and every time I go, we always love everything one of the top (if not best) sea food place on the island. the employees are always super nice, and the place is always clean. the food is top notch in my book, I don't really care for fired, grilled or even blacken sea food... so coming here is very enjoyable. also helps that the owners are super nice as well heck sometimes they will be behind the counter to take your order.“

“We were actually pleasantly surprised here!! We all liked all of our meals. Good deal for the price and the service was great. We got house large margaritas - a steal for 8 bucks. I got the steak and shrimp special for $28 which came with NY strip and a skewer of shrimp. The shrimp in SPI def have a fishier taste but prepared really well and the steak was a good cut! Had sweet potato fries for a side which were good and a salad with raspberry vinaigrette. Would order all again. My sister enjoyed her blackened catfish and my mom has the same meal as me. Both enjoyed them as well! For dessert we shared the lemon blueberry cheesecake which was delicious!“

Delicious! Thank you to the service because they are awesome. Everyone was very kind and the food came out quickly. The view was spectacular. I actually almost cried. My only regret was not finding this place sooner ? Laguna Bob is definitely going to be a place we regularly stop to eat at when we return to South Padre!!! ❤️“

Definitely a pleasant place to stop by and get some good food. ?One star knocked off atmosphere if you're not a sports bar kind of fan this might not be your place. Otherwise an excellent value after a hot day at the beach.“

“So after going to the beach, we were starving & goggling restaurants nearby & thought "Dirty Al's, hmmm no in between either it's going to be really good or really bad."We were seated promptly & waitstaff was friendly. The oysters were ok, onion rings were awesome. Chicken strips were good, fried fish was good, but the red snapper was awesome. Originally, we ordered it grilled, but the waitress recommended the fish blackened & it was fantastic. The fries were nice & crispy. We were very happy with the recommendation & will definitely go back when in the area. We were so hungry, we didn't take pics of our food.“

Our food took about 10-15 to get, he was working alone and fresh food is worth waiting for. We got the pineapple shrimp bowls and babaayyyyyyyy lemme tell YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! The flavor was ridiculous!!!!!!! The sweetness of the pineapple and the spices of the shrimp and zucchini!!!! Ugh it was beautiful!!!!! We are here twice and I wish I could get this literally every day!!!!!!! I will go back every year for these pineapples! We typically don’t eat out much on the island because it seems like we can’t ever find a place that is really good, this truck does not disappoint ever!!!!!#Jasmine&Aladdin“
