Got the 20 piece fried platter. Shrimp was good and fish was not fishy. However the fish could have been crispier. Margaritas were amazing. However upon return will try different appetizers and just get fried shrimp. Daughter liked her shrimp Alfredo and side of corn on cob.

Had a great experience at Daddy’s Seafood in South Padre Island! The service was top-notch, especially from my waiter and bartender Alejandro — he really made the visit outstanding with his attentive and friendly attitude. The restaurant itself is very spacious, with plenty of seating including an upstairs area that gives it a nice open feel.
The seafood here is as fresh as it gets — you can tell it’s caught locally, maybe just a couple miles away. Their seafood boils are the real deal, served in a bag with all the seasoning cooked in, not the fake pan-style versions you find elsewhere. The shrimp were big, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, and the portions overall were very generous.
The drinks were just as impressive — nice and strong, with the prickly pear margarita being a standout. Between the quality of the food, the drinks, and the excellent service from Alejandro, this place is a must-try. Definitely planning on coming back the next time I’m in town, and if you go, make sure to ask for Alejandro!

I have Alpha Gal allergy and called ahead to make sure I’d be able to eat here . The waiter was super kind and understanding ! He let me know their batter for fried foods does contain milk so I opted for blackened option on my fish and shrimp. We even got the frog legs appetizer blackened as well , my bf got the fried version and said it was delicious as well . It was all very good and I didn’t have any adverse reactions to the food. Service was phenomenal . Would eat here again

We had 2 appetizers (not pictured) and 3 entrees: crawfish etouffee, the Islander, and blackened shrimp tacos. Everything was excellent. The server was very nice and attentive and checked on us often. 2 beers and a Mudslide and the total was $105 + tip. We were there around 5:00 pm midweek. Highly recommended.

Loved the place.
Was immediately greeted by wait staff and seated. We visited on a Saturday lunch hour and there was no wait time to be seated. Darren was our waiter and he was helpful with choosing menu items. Ordered the chicken Alfredo and the shrimp boil, both well served. Family friendly, they give the kids alligator hats. Ordered two appetizers that were very well served. I definitely recommend the Texas loaded fries and shrimp stuffed peppers.
Some things I’d fix would be to add more lighting fixtures as the dinning area was a bit dark, proper signage at the front door entrance, and that the food be more seasoned. When back at the island, will definitely return to Daddy’s seafood kitchen!

Place was great. Service was outstanding. Came to eat with my family of 6 (3 adults, 3 kids) and it came around $145 due to %18 automatic service charge; which did not bother me in the least due to the great service. The taste of the food was not something to brag about, but it was alright. Maybe it was what I order, but maybe will try another dish next time. Definitely, love the environment and the way the waiter was constant in checking to see if we need it anything. Great service.

Great food, great server, and atmosphere was very great. We got a sampler platter, with stuffed crab, Boudica sausage, and frog legs. The boudin was amazing and the stuffed crab was out of this world. Frog legs are frog legs, IYKYK. For our meal we split a big platter of 10 fried fish and 10 fried Shrimp over a thing of French fries. It was very good. The fish was done perfectly and the shrimp was so good I ate till I couldn’t take it anymore, I didn’t want to stop. The strawberry daiquiris are very good as well. I also tried a small cup of there red beans and rice, and they did a great job on it as well. Our daughter got a burger and was very happy with it. If you’re looking for good seafood, good Cajun food, or good burgers or pastas, this place is definitely worth stopping by. They do some really bad ass Seafood boils too if you got a real hunger on. One of our family members that went with us got one and we were blown away at how much good food you get with the boil meals for the prices.

Chill and peaceful atmosphere. Decorated with fishing and sea themed decor with various TVs for entertainment. Nice and friendly staff and the food came out delicious and hot. I ordered a New Orleans style Freddy’s Mix Seafood Boil with crab. It was so good! Came with a bib and gloves, which I’m thankful for because it is quite messy but worth every drop
