The sea food is amazing, however the burgers were a little dry. At the end we enjoyed the fathers day with good food.
I visit Sea Islands often, but this visit everything was especially good! I was really pleased with the Mexican shrimp cocktail: chopped up chunks of shrimp, octopus, avocado, onion, and cilantro and my favorite - WITH CHIPS! Definitely prefer over crackers! And the lemon pepper fish was definitely on point! Hot and crispy with its light coating..it was perfect! Everything felt like a great value. And big props to the gentleman tending the side room. Always super friendly and helpful! Will definitely be back ?
This place is good! My salmon was grilled to perfection as well as the shrimp. The buttered spinach was really good. You get a lot of food for a great price. Service is fast and friendly.
Food was delicious! Service was great. The manager (last name Gonzales) gave us free ceviche to try and it was amazing. They were so friendly there. The wait time for our order was long but that just meant they cooked it fresh. Will be back.
Wonderful selection of seafood and sides. Staff was helpful and friendly. Place was clean. Food came out prompt and hot. Flavors were delicious and portions were big. Had to get a to go box. This was my first time and will be back for more. ?
Visited Sea Island today for the first time in a long time. We had the worst visit today. We have been patrons for a long time, but we probably hadn't been in 2-3 months. We ordered the grilled flounder and shrimp and they apparently forgot about our order due to shift change, according to one of the men that works there. We finally got our food after waiting 45 minutes and to our disappointment the food was cold. Every restaurant has an off day, but their service today was not what we have come to expect. I hope Sea Island is not okay doing food service this way.
All the food was good. But I really loved the gumbo! The service was nice as well. Really enjoyed the experience.
I'm so glad we chose to eat here. We aren't from San Antonio but had ate at one in New Braunfels and it was fabulous, and when my husband asked his buddy for a good fish place him and I both said this place not even knowing we both said it. But yeah all the waitress were nice and even the bus boy was super polite as he helped all the customers, this is how I would want my business to run if I wasn't there, nice, smooth, good , hot and tasty.. Y'all are awesome and we will be back all the way from Seguin!!!!
It has been many years since I have been to “THE ORIGINAL” location on Rector. I live closest to the Bandera Road location and IH-10. Had to pass them both up to get to Rector. This place never fails to impress. Great flavors, balanced seasonings, simple but nice presentation and for someone who has been instructed to “eat more fish”, this satisfies both in selections and flavors. As Sea Island and I are the same age, circa 1965, there is gentle comfort like “coming home”. I loved the brighter decor while still honoring the past with original light fixtures and Jolly Jack always ready with a smile and a fish to welcome you in. Stop by, you won’t be disappointed.
A rare find at a casual seafood restaurant in S. Texas. Wow! Just amazing! And yes, their charbroiled shrimp are as good as the hype says they are!
