Had a basket with shrimp, scallops, jumbo onion rings and cole slaw for $15 - great meal! Food was tasty, and hit the spot after a 5 hour drive from San Antonio. While there were lots of higher priced entrees on the menu, Pier 19 offers reasonable options for families with teens. Inside or outside dining is optional. Our waitress... More

We had dinner here and then watched the sunset on the pier afterwards. Dinner was pretty good although they got my order wrong. Drinks were also good. But the best was the view of the sunset afterwards from the end of the pier.

This restaurant was the first we visited when we recently returned to SPI after 3 years. While it is a bit cramped in the restaurant part, we always enjoy the ambiance. I had the coconut shrimp, and it was very good. The appetizer guacamole was outstanding. My grandson got to go out and see the pirate ship pass the pier... More

Enjoy eating breakfast, lunch and dinner out on a pier in the Lagoona Madre watching Dolphins jumping around! The food is great and reasonable and the staff makes the dinning fun and comfortable . We will be back:-)

We've been here several times with the kids. The food is solid, the view is excellent, and the pirate ship show is a lot of fun for the kids (might want to call ahead to make sure the show is happening).

We went to Pier 19 every single day of our stay after we found it. Just turn by the KOA and go all the way down and it ends at their parking lot. You can look over the countless spcials, including really good drink speails all day long. I had plenty of the $3 bloody's which come with a shrimp... More

We tried this restaurant on our last visit. Drinks were fine. Staff is too busy talking with each other to take good care of their guests. They are short to customers and rude. Food was not good. We tried each others dishes, and did not enjoy any of them. This was one of our first stops on our trip, and... More

When we went out on the pier, the host took us out to the restaurant area which was completely enclosed. It was a bit strange. it was obvious that it was an actual pier that they just enclosed. The food was not very good. I had a great drink though. Their specialty drinks are very fun and festive, but the... More
