Crystal’s Pick: Pirate’s Landing
Ahoy, mateys! Pirate’s Landing in Port Isabel, TX, is a fun-filled dining spot with stunning bay views. Located near the lighthouse and quirky shops, it’s perfect for a post-treasure-hunting meal. The family-friendly atmosphere offers great photo opportunities, and the delicious seafood will leave you happy as a clam; plus, every kid’s meal comes with a DIY paper pirate ship! So grab your pirate hats and set sail for Pirate’s Landing—a swashbuckling adventure you won’t regret! Arrr!
Lori’s Pick: Blackbeards’
Blackbeard’s on South Padre Island has been a flavor staple since 1978. They are famous for their perfectly crispy fried Gulf shrimp and also offer a tasty “cook your catch” option! With a chilled-out atmosphere and staff as friendly as a sun-soaked day at the beach, Blackbeards’ serves up a dining experience that’s as unforgettable as SPI itself. Come savor the bounty of the Gulf!
Kerri’s Pick: Whataburger
Hear me out! Whataburger is a true Texas treasure! The Texas-sized portions keep you coming back for more, and don’t even get me started on those crispy fries and the best ketchup in the world! After a long day on the beach, it’s the perfect pit stop, and you can’t beat that orange-and-white striped goodness. Y’all haven’t lived til you’ve treated yourself to a Whataburger at midnight!
