Alfonso Salazar, better known as “Dirty Al” originally started shrimping as a young man with his father and 6 brothers. In 2003, he and his youngest son, Cameron, who graduated from Culinary School, transformed his bait stand into a restaurant where together they have been known for having “The World’s Best Fried Shrimp”! In 2005, his other two sons returned home to help grow the business. To this day, they now own 7 restaurants on beautiful South Padre Island and across the valley and continue to bring only the “best” Gulf Seafood to each customer’s table.

    It was a dinner tonight celebrate our anniversary and I wanted something kind of special. The atmosphere was very warm and cozy. We were seated by a window overlooking the LagunaMadre as the sun was setting. Linen tablecloths and Napkins “proper “ wine glasses and silverware. Our waiter was helpful and his suggestions on the starters were spot on. The boneless ribeye was perfectly done and the bacon wrapped shrimp were marvelous. We will be back for another special occasion.

    This is not the same restaurant we frequented in the past. The waitstaff was friendly, but the waiter crab claws were rubbery and our steak while cooked to the requested doneness but it was cold. As was the baked potato. Not sure if the kitchen was having an off night, but we were very disappointed especially given the over $100 tab.

    We have eaten here numerous times, and overall, the food and atmosphere has been excellent. We were disappointed with the service last night. We sat for 30 minutes after ordering, and then everything was brought out at once: bread, appetizers, salad and dinner. The waitress was not experienced or well trained. She was not well attentive. We had to ask for everything.

    Our meal overall was well below the standard that Liam's has provided us in the past. The Mahi Mahi meal entree was lukewarm and the sides were cold. The chicken entree came with only 2 spears of asparagus and plating was just sad, with said chicken breast and asparagus the only things on the plate. No garnish, nothing to show any effort at presentation was made. I understand New Year's Eve is busy but it felt rushed from beginning to end. Creme brulee was only partially caramelized and we were never asked if we'd like drink refills or coffee to accompany dessert.

    I ordered the 16oz boneless prime ribeye steak, grilled rare with sautéed mushrooms and loaded baked potato for $55.00. The steak was prepared and served as ordered. Prime beef ribeye's are expected to be well marbled (lots of fat) , however, my steak had large quantities of thick fat, some gristle and connective tissue. It was definitely not easy to cut nor an appetizing steak to eat. When I mentioned that the steak was too fatty to the waiter all he said was, "...ribeye steaks have a lot of marbling." AND WALKED AWAY. My wife ordered the 8 oz filet done medium rare for $69.00. She described it as "...nothing special." This meal was not worth the cost and we cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone.
