    We get to come here every 4th of July and is a great view for fireworks show!!! They have a live band and is great, it does get packed around the 4th of July week.. the service is always great and fast food is your typical bar food is pretty decent quality beer always cold! Definitely recommend! If you happened to come for 4th of July come by 6ish to get a table. P.S I believe is after 8pm only 18y/o or 21y/o can't remember jiji

    This bar and grill restaurant is on the bay side. It is a popular spot for those wanting to catch the sunset view. You'll have to arrive early enough to claim your spot, it does get busy. The entire restaurant is outdoors with some sections offering a covered roof. They often have live music. They will ask you to show your ID. They don't serve beer on draft. They specialize in cocktail drinks served in a plastic souvenir cup. Their cocktail drinks are not my favorite, but the beach vibes and the sunset make up. They do serve the typical bar food. It's not the best. At times, it gets too busy for the servers to handle. I'd like to see more staff when the crowd is high. Our server was very overwhelmed trying to serve multiple large groups at the same time.

    As far south on Padre Island as you can go,overlooking the beautiful Laguna Madre sits this little gem. There are many places here that you can catch a glorious Texas Gulf Coast sunset. Cheap,expensive,food,no food. However, Bob's is laid back,cheap good drinks,no expectations and a great view of the sinking fire ball. Oh,did I mention the friendly people and low key live music? I highly recommend it.

    3rd visit to Laguna Bob's. I've enjoyed myself every time. You get exactly what you expect. The cheap beer special, (Busch light seems to be the standard here on the island.) decent view and some quirky music. People are always fun. Is what it is! Haven't eaten their food, but that's not what I come here for. I will definitely come back every time I visit South Padre Island.

    Shrimp subs

    awesome Shrimp sub's with great fries. their lemonade is amazing. definitely will come back

    I didn't end up ordering any food, but I tried some fried pickles and it was a good late night snack. They ID at the door, and the restaurant is the perfect size where it's intimate, but not too crowded. There's live music and a small dance floor, and obviously a beautiful place to watch the sunset.

    So far, our favorite beach bar. Great outdoor seating with spectacular bay view. Drinks were good and the mahi ceviche was very good. We'll be back to try some of the other menu items

    Delightful. A Friday…read morenight dinner in South Padre Island led me to LongBoard Bar & Grill, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience. I walked in around 7:00pm and was seated right away. I started with the mozzarella sticks. They were exactly what you'd expect--nothing particularly memorable, but they satisfied the craving. For my entrée, I ordered the deep-fried seafood basket with all three options: shrimp, oysters, and fish. Everything was perfectly seasoned and fried to a crisp without being overly greasy. It came with cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, and a small serving of coleslaw that balanced the heaviness of the fried foods nicely. The jumbo shrimp were sweet, plump, and succulent, while the oysters and fish were also delicious--exactly what my soul ordered. What truly elevated the evening was the atmosphere. Live music and a spectacular fireworks show over the water. The singer's rendition of the national anthem was absolutely beautiful and gave me goosebumps. Between the food, gorgeous ocean views, live entertainment, and fireworks, this was a memorable dinner and a great way to spend a Friday night on South Padre Island.

Service was very slow, I completely understand that it was busy but maybe the restaurant should have planned better for staffing. The waitress was very respectful and apologetic for the food taking so long (over hour and half). She apologized about 4 times over the span of the time, but nothing was offered or done about the extremely long wait for the food. Our food was not great whatsoever, it taste like everything was frozen previously and thawed incorrectly. The sampler came out cold, the fried basket was basket flavoring, the tacos were eatable, and the mahi mahi fish was okay. Honestly DO NOT come here for food, However Come HERE for dancing/environment.

Our waitress, Marlene, was fabulous. She was attentive and friendly. For our entrees, we ordered the Filet Mignon and the Smoked Duck Breast. The filet was incredibly tender and flavorful, which isn't always easy to achieve with such a lean cut of meat. The beef jus paired perfectly with it. The duck breast was tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The highlight of the night, however, was the Key Lime Soufflé. This was easily one of the best desserts I've ever had. The balance of flavors was perfect. Not too sweet, not too tart, just the right amount of key lime. The soufflé itself was also baked perfectly. Every course was excellent, the service was outstanding, and the entire meal felt incredible from beginning to end. If you're visiting SPI and looking for a memorable dinner, F&B is absolutely worth a visit.

    We dined at F&B on New Year's Eve 2025. It was a +/- experience. First, Marlene was our waitress,…read moreshe was awesome! One of the best service experiences we've had in years! Hustle is her middle name... thank you ma'am, you made the evening! The menu was a chef's selection 4 course menu, with options for each course. We opted for the wine pairings with each course. The restaurant was decked out with New Year's regalia... with balloons, hats, noise makers, at every table... really fun atmosphere! All the staff were decked out fancy, looked great! For our first course, we selected lobster bisque mushroom soup. The mushroom soup was divine, absolutely fabulous. The lobster bisque was sub-par... while plentiful, the lobster was not fresh, tasted very fishy. The second course of the seafood medley and venison bites was equally Jekyll and Hyde! Venison, superb, tender, cooked perfectly, tasted great. The seafood medley, all super fishy ... not fresh! Crab claws mushy too, obviously frozen prior. Oysters pitifully small and warm. Shrimp, while cold, were very fishy and mushy, as if previously frozen. No bueno! Our third course was the surf/turf and Akashi short rib ragout. The turf was awesome, best steak we've had in years! The lobster ... pitiful, small, overcooked, tough and fishy! Disgusting! The ragout was good, but we're not sure why chef's make beef dishes sweet ... good beef stands on its own, no need to over season! Not a well conceived dish... Our final course was the chocolate soufflé and lemon cake ... both were terrific! The soufflé with Chantilly cream and whipped cream was very good. The star dessert was the lemon cake with fresh fruit! Light and airy cake, the fruit was to die for. Delicious! The wind pairings were good, although some of the selections were "tired" favs, like "The Prisoner"... IMHO. Such a good wine list at F&B, the pairings were disappointing! The staff whisked away a 1/2 finished pre-dinner martini, which Marlene graciously replaced! When you spend $500+ on dinner for two, even a special evening, the restaurant should deliver. F&B did not meet the standard on New Year's Eve. We won't be back this trip..,

They even have a dog menu, so our dachshund, PeeWee, gets to enjoy lunch with us too. It's refreshing to find a restaurant that truly welcomes the whole family, including four-legged family members. After watching the KRGV Take 5 segment, I loved learning that the new owners were the cooks before taking over the restaurant. You can absolutely tell they know what they're doing. The quality of the food, the consistency, and the atmosphere have all been elevated under the new ownership while still keeping the laid-back island vibe. If you're looking for great food, excellent service, reasonable prices, and a place where everyone--including your dog--is welcome, Mahi Nic is the place to go. We'll definitely be back again and again with PeeWee and the rest of our family and friends. Highly recommend!

Not only was it Instagram-worthy, but it tasted just as good as it looked. Creamy, rich, and infused with notes of Mexican chocolate and cinnamon, it was one of the best specialty coffees I've had in a while and the artistry was incredible. For brunch, I ordered the CLEO (a lox bagel with egg) and the SPI Breakfast Platter. The CLEO had great flavors--the smoked salmon was fresh. My biggest critique was that the soft bagel, warm egg, and lox lacked a bit of textural contrast. Even so, the individual components were delicious. The SPI Breakfast Platter was hearty, well-executed, and exactly what you'd hope for from a classic breakfast. I'd love to come back the next time I'm in South Padre and try their lunch menu, the dessert case was very enticing.
