    Katie is so friendly! I had an issue ordering on the app but she fixed it for me without any complaints. I walked inside & everyone smiled. They were really slammed but everyone was working hard & moving fast. We ordered here on Thursday May 19th, I just haven't had a chance to post the review. Thanks for being awesome Katie!

    10/10 stars every single time I visit this sonic. The staff is so incredibly kind and care a lot. I live very close to this location and I have come here ALOT within the past t. This is my favorite sonic in Texas! The food is wonderful and always made the way I order it from the app. Not to mention, this is also one of the cleanest sonics I have EVER been to. The landscape is beautiful and the view of the channel is remarkable (especially at sunset). If you have a negative experience at this sonic please don't let it stick with you and please be patient. Sometimes it gets busy but the employees never stop and work super hard to keep people happy. I see it all the time. They are wonderful!

    Crispy Chicken Tenders and Onion Rings

    Horrible. Bought the chicken strip dinner with onion rings and EVERYTHING was burnt. Took to go thru the drive thru so no returning.

    Fast service and there were a lot of people! Order came out correct and no problems with ordering. We ordered a sonic blast, 2 kids meals and 2 burgers cost was almost $26.

    As I have said in the past I rate all fast food places on the level of service and friendliness. Today I had a great experience at the sonic. I had to 9 year olds that could not make their minds up Mike was awesome and got the order perfect. Thanks Mike!

    DINNER!

    Worst sonic! Don't go here. Don't order ice cream, it will be runny and not cold. Disgusting! We waited 30 min for 4 blasts. None were good.

Popping in for an early lunch, we had front row seats to the water and items came out really quickly. For drinks, we opted for a mermaid water (in a bucket, of course) and costal cooler and both were delicious starts to the meal! To eat, we had the Cajun fries (toped with crawfish tails, bacon, and cheese), the self titled "clam chowda," and the grilled coconut shrimp. The fries were good, but the crawfish tails were quite dried up and rubbery. Would have rather them not been included all together, as it really took away from the crispy yet fluffy fries that were cooked to perfection. The chowder, which the menu boasts is the best in town, isn't lying! A delicious bit from the first spoonful to the last. The grilled coconut shrimp was the star of the show. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, it is my worst nightmare to get an overcooked shrimp and they nailed it, along with the light sides the dish felt refreshing and just what you want on a humid/hot day. I had seen reviews that mentioned it is pricey, and it certainly is. A lot of places on the island are, but this felt a little too over the top in comparison and for what it was. Something to keep in mind especially if you are feeding a large number of people on your bill.

He is usually a pretty good judge of restaurants, so I trusted his recommendation. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a mistake. Our server, A.K.--whom my dad has affectionately called "A.K. 47" for years--was wonderful. She was friendly, attentive, and did an excellent job. If you decide to visit, I would highly recommend asking to sit in her section. I ordered the oyster and shrimp plate, and unfortunately, it was disappointing. The shrimp were acceptable, although I have certainly had better. The oysters, however, were gritty with dirt and did not appear to have been properly cleaned before being fried. Both the shrimp and oysters were coated in a flour-and-cornmeal batter. It was fine, but nothing memorable. The coleslaw had absolutely no flavor, and I'm honestly not sure why they bothered serving it. I wish I had taken a picture of the plate because the presentation was just as unimpressive as the meal. That said, I was not expecting anything fancy, so perhaps I should not have expected much more. The atmosphere was typical for this type of restaurant--casual, basic, and nothing fancy. It appeared clean enough and was generally what you would expect from a place like this. Overall, the excellent service from A.K. was the highlight of the visit, but the food was not good enough for me to return.

Not unusual for many of the businesses nearby, but fighting for a spot in the end may not be worth it. It seems the place is mostly attuned to locals. Light on any kind of greetings, you place your order inside and they'll bring it to you wherever you are sitting. The food came out in an appropriate time and after that, don't expect to see anyone again as it is largely self service with condiments, napkins, etc. available on a nearby cart where you also will leave your baskets at the end of the meal. The food itself was only ok. We ordered the happy hour mozzarella and marinara dippers (dear readers, this is simply a single grilled cheese cut into four triangles. Delicious! And only $4, but the wording on that could maybe have been better...) the chicken salad sandwich with potato salad, and the shrimp tacos. The chicken salad errs on the sweet side, which the brioche bun only adds to, and was in much need of a hot sauce which I did add but still wasn't the largest fan. The potato salad was really good, but the indication on the menu that it was spicy was misplaced - it is yellow, sure, but not spicy. As for the shrimp tacos, again not fantastic but the shrimp was cooked quite perfectly. The combination of ups and downs put this smack in the middle for me. We had planned to stay for a few drinks, but decided to hop to a few other local businesses to see if we could find a better vibe. Overall, I would say this is a good spot to feed kids quickly and on the cheap(ish) and maybe hang and chat with friends.

So why then did I even bother to try it out you ask? I have seen on Padre Island Facebook pages mentions that the service is not so good, but the food is always been good.

The server was not very attentive- for example, I asked for the added Brussels, bacon and onions as an add on to the tenderloin tips but I never got them. We also waited a while for drinks and we had our order taken about 30ish minutes after we got there, despite the lack of customers. She was very nice but the service was disappointing. The meat quality however, was really great and both dishes pictured were perfectly cooked, totally recommend the little Jane. But the tenderloin tips left much to be desired literally, because it was not much food at all. For 20 dollars, I would like to feel fullish, but it felt more like an appetizer or tapas than a full meal. The other people in my party got a special (the beef stroganoff) and chicken Alfredo, which both were good, not spectacular. The part that was enjoyable about the pasta dishes however, was the fact that they have different pasta specials, so you could get the Alfredo with linguini or the specialty pasta of the day or week (I don't know which). The pineapple mojito was noteworthy as well, fresh and you couldn't taste the alcohol at all. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing but it wasn't a very positive experience, especially for the high bill. Will I ever go again for dinner ? Probably not Will I go for drinks? Absolutely!
