Yesterday, I had the pleasure of dining at a Sea Island Shrimp House. I was first told about this restaurant by a coworker and apparently it is a San Antonio phenomenon. Every weekend there is a line out the door. When we first walked in we were greeted by a friendly gentleman who explained the restaurants concept to us. You first go to a cashier and order your food, next you pick a table and wait until your number is called, and then you go to the counter to get your food. After we sat down at our table we sat back and enjoyed the atmosphere. It is a very family friendly place. Our food was taking a while when suddenly a very friendly "waitress" inquired about our food. When we told her that we had yet to receive it she went back into the kitchen and came back out with our food. It was touching that she took the time to look for our food.

The menu is definitely southern cuisine. Almost all of their food is fried and greasy plus they offer things like hush puppies and onion rings. My partner and I ordered Chipolte Fish Tacos and SEA ISLAND SHRIMP HOUSE 40-YEAR FAVORITES. The tacos themselves were ok, but descent when the chipolte sauce was added. Everything in the favorites platter was good however the charbroiled shrimp were definitely the best. The charbroiled shrimp were definitely the best part of the entire trip.

Overall, we enjoyed Sea Island Shrimp House. The food is of great quality and the prices are fair. Our only big complaint is that there are So many fried options.
