Went for lunch and ordered from the lunch specials. We haven’t been here in years because the last time it was so greasy that we got a stomach ache from the food. This time the fried fish was fried at the right temperature, not so greasy. The food was delicious, it was crispy and the veggies were cooked just right. Potatoes were at the right consistency & so we’re the green beans. The staff was nice and brought us extra napkins, lemon & sauce like we asked. We really had a wonderful lunch here.

We stopped in today around 4pm (ish) May 23, and just wanted to say we enjoyed our meals. We let the staff know while we were there as well. Good service as your crew was attentive and kept the place clean. Thank you.

We walked in and had a party of 14. It was a Thursday night, and we had no problems finding tables to sit together. The runner that brought out food did a great job taking care of us. The restaurant had plenty of room for us and other customers. Our plates of food were excellent and we were all happy with our choices. As you look for the sign from the street, it's covered by the palm trees.

Love to eat pasta and shrimp at any given time! Tuscan shrimp and pasta with Alfredo sauce is good. Only downfall on my part due to having a gastric I don’t do well with Alfredo sauce so I eat a bit at a time. Question is would I be able to ask for the pasta and shrimp in a garlic butter sauce instead? Ordered to go and food was hot and place was inviting. Thank you! Staff were friendly

I recently dined at Sea Island Shrimp House on NW Loop 410 in San Antonio and tried their signature 1965 Plate. This dish features a lemon pepper fish filet, charbroiled shrimp, and a small beef kabob, celebrating the restaurant’s long-standing tradition since 1965. I opted to substitute the two standard sides with a fresh salad, which was a delicious and refreshing choice. The portions were generous, and each component was cooked to perfection. The fish was tender with a zesty lemon pepper seasoning, the shrimp were succulent and flavorful, and the beef kabob added a nice touch to the meal. The salad was crisp and well-dressed, complementing the main items nicely. The restaurant’s atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was prompt and friendly. It’s evident why Sea Island Shrimp House has been a staple in San Antonio’s dining scene for decades. For those seeking a satisfying seafood experience with a touch of local history, the 1965 Plate is a must-try.
