J. Scott HelwigNovember 21, 2015We took our catch to this place for them to cook it. So, for lunch, we had Parmesan Trout, Blackened Trout, and Trout Enchiladas ... everything was awesome! Hush puppies were best ever!!
Antjuan BriggsAugust 1, 2015Everything. Po boys and all sandwiches are served on great bread. The staff is great. The food is full of flavor and it is a comfortable atmosphere.Try the fried apple pie, you won't be disappointed
Social News NetworkNovember 29, 2013Since 1978, Blackbeards' has delighted South Padre Island guests and residents with their great sandwiches, steak burgers, famous fried seafood platters, specialty gulf shrimp and fish dishes.
- Tony TJune 26, 2017The selection of dishes seems to have drastically dropped over the years. Nevertheless, they still serve up some delicious burgers and deep fried/grilled seafood platters.
Daniel ValleJuly 11, 2016Stuff jalapeños are the best I have had tastie, crab cakes deliciousness but got mahi mahi tacos not to good no flavor was fresh but I had to put salt and pepper and on it but beans and rice was good
Everything is good. Large portions , top quality , great prices . I love the salmon and ahi tuna but they have the best steaks on the Isla!
George MonroeDecember 7, 2011The BEST RESTAURANT in South Padre Island, Texas! (& that's "Saying A Lot" when you consider that most Padre Island Restaurants are FANTASTIC)!Try the "Stuffed Jalapenos" AND the Onion Rings!
Sheila SpauldingDecember 8, 2016People love that place! It was okay to me. The waitress was just adorable and very good at her job. I'd go back to try something else and see if it's better the second time.
BonnieOctober 10, 2015Fantastic salmon, fresh salads and vegetables. Great, fast service. Nice lunch menu with affordable prices- Gar SmithSeptember 1, 2012Good food reasonable price wife had the catfish for 11 and I had the shrimp and flounder 19. Too much food one could share both meals and be well fed
Esther MontoyaApril 1, 2017We ordered a baked potato, instead of onion rings, we did not know that was an option. I personally did not truly enjoy the Blackbeards Seafood Platter Supreme.
- Great holiday traffic and always a great time at Blackbeard’s…Wonderful food and superior service!
Flor Ruiz-CanalesJune 10, 2013The onion rings are the best. The top shelf margarita is legit too, all you need is one to work up a nice little buzz :p
John SchultzMay 26, 2013The homemade onion rings were definitely good. From there the meal dropped off compared to other restaurants in the area. The lemonade had a funny taste. Shrimp alfredo was okay.
Social News NetworkApril 20, 2013The shrimp cocktail is the appetizer to get. It is definitely worth the price.- Summertime at Blackbeard’s and the gang’s all here! And the National Beer is back in stock!
Mitch WagnerApril 27, 2013Considering you checked in... Ur fked. Have a beer and run to KFC down the street. Better seafood.
Mollie BethApril 28, 2013The fried catfish was really good...but the fries, queso, and chips were a little bland.
Mario GiacaloneAugust 24, 2014Ugh hopes were high but quickly diminished! Service uncaring food just ok better spots on the island to spend your money

"The buffet is a comprehensive winner, however if you're not feeling up to it there are some amazing entrée items. Get the Pecan Encrusted Red Snapper! Great service and beautiful views of the sunset."

"Fried shrimp awesome. Ask them to bring back the old shrimp dipping sauce"
Bridget Buck - 8.3
"Great beach bar but it gets packed during the summer weekends with families and kids. Drinks are a little pricey, but they have great live music and the atmosphere is chill."
