    Extremely cold beer, great AC, and just great atmosphere. It's a dive bar but the best on the Island. Great summer experience.

    Last day in the area on a short getaway and decided to order out. Found this place as it's across…read morefrom where I'm staying and honestly, the burgers were delicious. My littles shared a build your own with cheddar, my oldest had chicken tenders and I had the Mr. Beckham with onion rings and we all split an order of chips and queso. Queso was tasty, slight kick but nothing major. Onion rings were crunchy and hot. The only downfall, no ketchup packets. It's a grab your own and I just forgot as I was trying to get back and pack up. Either way, can't wait for my next visit so I can try a new burger.

    Padre Island Burger Company gets a solid 3/5 from yours truly, and honestly mate, I'm being…read moregenerous because the atmosphere and seaside setting did a fair bit of heavy lifting. let me explain myself properly. This place screams modern tourist burger joint. The sort of establishment where every burger arrives with twelve unnecessary toppings, a quirky name, and a price tag that makes you briefly consider checking your credit score before ordering. Quite frankly the place should be renamed "Upcharge Central" or perhaps "Tourist Burgers Built for Photos, Not Stomachs" The outdoor seating itself is lovely though. Proper island atmosphere. Wooden picnic tables, sea breeze rolling through, cold drinks sweating in the Texas heat, tourists waddling about sunburnt and optimistic. It's the kind of setting where you want the burger to absolutely save your afternoon. Unfortunately... Mine did the complete opposite. I ordered their "world famous" Lulu Burger, their take on a jalapeño popper burger, and I genuinely believe it may have been one of the worst burgers I've had in the last couple years. Now look, I'm not against creativity. I enjoy innovation. But somewhere along the line society decided burgers needed to become science experiments. The moment that completely sent me over the edge? A massive slab of cold cream cheese slapped directly onto the burger. Not melted. Not slightly warm. Not blended into the burger. No mate. Refrigerator cold. The sort of cold where you could practically still see the HEB dairy aisle condensation on it. Completely threw off the texture and turned every bite into a confusing mess of hot beef meeting Arctic dairy product. Absolutely criminal behaviour. Now to be fair, my lovely date ordered the Hangover Burger which was noticeably better. Fried egg, bacon, cheesy goodness, all the things you'd expect after a rough Friday evening involving tequila and poor decisions. Still overpriced for what it was, but at least it tasted like somebody in the kitchen had a coherent vision. The sweet potato fries were actually quite decent as well. Crisp edges, soft middle, solid seasoning. No complaints there. Maybe I'm old school. Maybe I'm too particular. But when I think burger joint, my mental checklist is simple: Hot burger. Balanced toppings. Quality beef. Reasonable price. No culinary jump scares. And unfortunately this place missed the mark on several fronts. 3/5. Lovely atmosphere, decent service, and a fun island vibe, but the burgers themselves simply didn't justify the hype or the price tag.

    Went in for lunch right after opening, from the parking lot with no one in it besides the wait/cook…read morestaff I wasn't expecting much to be honest. But there was 3 of us. Everyone had some sort of burger, and after everything arrived I liked what I saw. Just the right amount of toasted sourdough bread and the burger had plenty of flavor and juiciness to it. For sides the curly fries were on point also. Crunchy but not over or undercooked to be soggy or oily. This was a pleasant surprise and I can hopefully get the fam to try them out. So if you're looking for an out of the way spot. You need to stop by. Not sure if the same cook or staff is always there. But today on point guy's. On point ps just wish I had taken a photo. ‍

    The food itself is 4/5, but pricing and management brings this place down to 2/5 stars. I don't…read moreunderstand why they bother with a drive through if most of my experience has been about a 10 minute wait before you even order in an empty line. Granted it was only one experience, but I remember a woman stumbling into the window area as I was paying to slam the window shut without even acknowledging me. I was told that the woman is the daughter of the owner who doesn't even work there. I was also recently faced with a worker who let me wait at the speaker for 10 minutes before ordering, and she told me she was "the only one working there" but she was also giving me attitude. I didn't want to blame her but if these are the experiences workers and customers have at the drive through window, management needs to really reconsider how they handle that part of their restaurant.

    Let me start with something positive. Our server was very sweet and friendly…read more The silverware was not clean, and had to be replaced. The steak knife was so dull; all it did was tear the meat. My husband's 14 ounce ribeye steak included 5 ounces of fat. My coconut shrimp was burnt. I ate some of it but mentioned it to the server who said she would report it to the kitchen. I didn't expect a refund or replacement because I had eaten my fill, but a visit from the manager would have been nice. We tipped our server well, but we will not be returning.

    We set on the patio, it was a pretty quiet evening but so nice outside in October. They have plenty…read moreof high top picnic tables outside, inside is a little smaller (we've set inside years ago). Our waitress and service was great. The coconut shrimp was definitely freshly battered, they are Large shrimp too! The coconut sauce was good. It came with wild rice & the "seasonal vegetable" was green beans. All cooked well. We ordered calamari to start - its not the tentacle rings your used to, but thick strips, i didnt care for that - lil too much meat inside so it was a texture thing for me. But the batter and chili sauce was good. I like the location cuz it's close to the beaches, usually less packed than restaurants by the bridge. They have a band by the outside bar sometimes. Plenty of waiting area. Has its own parking lot. Literally right of padre island dr.
