We went there back in August and it was amazing! We didn't feel like tourist. They treated us like family. Then after dinner we walked over to the boats and went on a dolphin tour. This is a great location!

“That’s a slippery slope now days” 😂😂😂

Hmmm.. think I’ll drive an hour and have lunch there later today. One of the few perks of living in the Valley 😄Thanks for the video!

Get the Botanna Platter if you are a family of 4-5. We get the fish and shrimp with fries and onion rings. You absolutely can't go wrong. This place is not just a restaurant to us, it's a family tradition.

Time for a road trip.. McAllen to the Island. I enjoy lunch at Dirty Al's Pelican Station...beautiful view of the causeway...bay.

We did Dirty Al's SPI 2 days ago. Think I like Pelican Station better too, More choices

I did not know he was the owner, last time I went he was tending the bar.. good job mr Al

You always find the best places.............thanks

I immediately thought of the “Blood in Blood out movie “ 😂

Love Texas Bucket List! Love Dirty Al's!! LOVE SPI!!!! Spent a lot of time there this year. Will do it again for sure.

This place has the best local seafood! You can’t go wrong here!

I’m coming over. Yummmm! Bravo!!! Thank you for sharing!!!

I remember when I was a kid and my family lived in Rio Hondo, we would go to the beach and the sand dunes were so big. The food is awesome and you can't get it any fresher than right out of the Gulf.

I ate at Dirty Al's six weeks ago. Came from Colorado and it was the best fish and shrimp I've ever ate. Next we went to Pier 19 (RIP, burnt down this past week). Huge difference in the freshness. Dirty Al's is number one in my book!!

I like Texas bucket list videos on KZread from the imperial county California 👍👍🖐️🇺🇲

Great video!!! ❤️❤️

Known the man since I was 13yrs old! Good man and sons...great people!

By far the funniest clip you guys have uploaded so far!

Went there a week ago! Delicious!

I'm awake very early to see this!!!!!Christmas came early!!!!!!

I don't usually eat seafood, but I will if I feel it's properly cleaned, cooked & seasoned, like this place

I met the owner but at his other Restaurant.. PELICAN BAY IN PORT ISABEL.. very nice guy... And great chain of restaruant.. 🙏

Great food at Als, It's too bad South Padre island been hit do many times. Great place to stay. Love this place great little vacation

This reminds me of a place we have in Pensacola...Joe Patti's. It's a family run seafood industry with their own boats, show cases & restaurant. Their seafood comes fresh from the Gulf too. Nothing like fresh seafood.

You know what’s interesting we were in south padre back in March for vacation. We did the dolphin tour which is right next door. Never thought cross never crossed our minds to go there.

This one is also the less expensive of the two. So awesome to see this on here. Good stuff!

I've been going down to SPI for over 40 years and I'm there right now. I could not imagine coming down here and not going to Al's at least twice. It wouldn't be a trip to SPI without at least a couple stops at Al's.

I am flying into Brownsville . I know there’s an airport shuttle but I’ll prob rent a car. I’m not sure where to go. Where’s best place to go to beach? Where is dirty Al’s? Is it all close together? Might consider a boat ride. Just trying to maximize my two days and have it kind of planned out

Ate here today based off this video, was great 👍🏻, thanks for the recommendation.

"Dirty Al, he may be dirty, I don't know where to go with that one." Best Quote

Wow. The seafood looks delicious. I agree thoose are huge shrimp. And I love oysters. Stay safe and healthy.

My friends from Cuero Tx went to the Boiling Pot in Rockport Tx because they and then me watched this guy here. They asked me about the Boiling Pot because lve lived in RP and have had family since the 1950s that still do live there and l answered 'oh heck no'. l went 40+ years ago but the TX gulf still had great seafood then. They went anyway and took pictures. l wish l could share them. They said it was literally awful. They left with a comped meal though they tipped the poor waiter the price of the food because he had to serve it with a straight face. l believe these Texas coast seafood places know this guy is coming and they go to the HEB in town and buy fresh seafood and serve it to him and not the regular frozen crap that comes from their south Texas suppliers. None of it comes out of the Texas coast anymore. The RP marina has been empty of anything but charter fishing boats for decades. The oysters grade toxic and the RP Oysterfest buys them from Loisianna now. Tx had a global seafood industry until the early 90s.

I'll just come out and say it: Shane has the best job in the world (and he is pretty good at it too). Who else makes a living driving around Texas meeting a lot of cool people and eating really great food?

OMG those huge shrimp look SCRUMIOUS!!!!!!, I JUS 💕love SHRIMP🤤🌝😋, I've always passed this place to when I go to the the ⛱️ beach, I thought it was laundry mat, cause it said Als dirty, I apologise, that PAINTED sign, needs to be bigger as well as the lettering. I will be there the next time I visit Robstown and hit the Beach!!!!!

Im there like 3 times a year and I’ve always wanted to go. Pier 19 is pretty good as well.. I had black beard and it was so so...

There’s also a Dirty Al in Brownsville Tx. I believe it’s own by the same owner!!😊👍

make sure you order a bottle beer. Water taste like sea water lol

Dirty Al’s is ok. The food can be a little too greasy and the service is hit or miss. Good luck getting seated when you’re really hungry; there’s often a long wait for dinner time. There are plenty of good seafood places in the area, especially in Port Isabel. Oh and you have to stop by SPI Brewery for quality beer and food.

At 4:28 I knew why they called him dirty al

Fried shrimp is great, fried fish is so so.

🤤 aaahhhhh that fish......

I'm glad I live in McAllen!!!🤤

BEST RESTAURANT IN SPI!!!! If you go order the New Orleans style shrimp

We love Dirty Al's when we are in South Padre for the Winter.

See you guys next week!

About to go eat there

the next man vs food

My nephew's your kids whenever I go eat there they always thank me and tell me that if it wasn't for me they wouldn't be there you gotta be humble like them don't thank you God OK
