Best meal in our entire 2-week trip to Texas! Absolutely wonderful fresh guacamole and salsa. Burgers are awesome and cooked to order (no, really!). Friendly, attentive staff. Cool place with the vats right there making beer... everything was perfect. Wish we could have eaten every meal there.

The food was okay, but the beer was great! The service is a little slow, but it is a nice place to hangout and have some great beer!

This place was one of our favorites on S Padre Island. We got an appetizer sampler which included onion rings and fried artichokes. The onion rings were huge and delicious. The fried artichokes were the great and they came with a dill mustard dipping sauce which was AMAZING!!!

Wow! Between the great beer selection (start out with the sampler) and the great food, plus the great service, we were really pleased with our visit to the Padre Island Brewing Co. We even got our kids to try an oyster on the half shell, since they were 50 cents each during happy hour. They didn't like them, but I... More

We had a beer sampler, short beers of the beers brewed there. They are unique and very cold and fresh tasting. We bought a Growlier as we like the Padre Island Pale Ale if you go during happy hour the discount to refill is totally worth it!! The food is very good we went there a few times during our... More

I was not that impressed with the service, we saw her only twice....to bring the food and get the check. Very high priced for what you get, the crab cakes were awful!

The menu at Padre Island Brewing Co. is very similar to most restaurants on the island. You will find a plethora of fried fish/shrimp/scallops with french fries and other forms of potatoes. HOw many different ways can you fry fish? You can order pizza, too. The table next to mine ordered an appetizer of fried onion rings and they were... More

We visited this restaurant twice in April 2013. We enjoyed the Brewery because you could get good grilled food on top of a good green salad. Somehow it is difficult to find real vegetables on SPI. Almost everything is fried, including the vegetables. We can recommend the pesto chicken salad, the grilled tuna on salad and the seared ahi tuna.... More

We had the beer battered oysters (big, tender oysters) and a couple fresh beers. The oysters we're crispy and good, not greasy at all. Enjoyed a pint of stout and the wheat beer. This was one of the best priced, quality meals we had while staying a week on the island. I discovered it on our last day; wish I'd... More
