We 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!!

Since 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.

Everything. 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

The 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.

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!

People 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.

Good 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

We 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.

Fantastic salmon, fresh salads and vegetables. Great, fast service. Nice lunch menu with affordable prices

The 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.

The 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!
Flor Ruiz-CanalesJune 10, 2013
The 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
