Visited Sea Island today for the first time in a long time. We had the worst visit today. We have been patrons for a long time, but we probably hadn't been in 2-3 months. We ordered the grilled flounder and shrimp and they apparently forgot about our order due to shift change, according to one of the men that works there. We finally got our food after waiting 45 minutes and to our disappointment the food was cold. Every restaurant has an off day, but their service today was not what we have come to expect. I hope Sea Island is not okay doing food service this way.
My husband and I really enjoyed our lunch here. Our absolute favorite was the stuffed shrimp. The fish was great and was my second favorite. They make the margaritas with wine so I skipped that but my husband enjoyed the frozen one.

Service was pretty good & the food was alright... we hardly got any chips with the Mexican Shrimp Cocktail.
Margarita wasn't very good - way too sweet. The green beans & the hush puppies were tasty.
We'll probably try a different location if we go back to Sea Island Shrimp House.

I visit Sea Islands often, but this visit everything was especially good! I was really pleased with the Mexican shrimp cocktail: chopped up chunks of shrimp, octopus, avocado, onion, and cilantro and my favorite - WITH CHIPS! Definitely prefer over crackers! And the lemon pepper fish was definitely on point! Hot and crispy with its light coating..it was perfect! Everything felt like a great value. And big props to the gentleman tending the side room. Always super friendly and helpful! Will definitely be back ????

This place is good! My salmon was grilled to perfection as well as the shrimp. The buttered spinach was really good. You get a lot of food for a great price. Service is fast and friendly.

Food was delicious! Service was great. The manager (last name Gonzales) gave us free ceviche to try and it was amazing. They were so friendly there. The wait time for our order was long but that just meant they cooked it fresh. Will be back.

Wonderful selection of seafood and sides. Staff was helpful and friendly. Place was clean. Food came out prompt and hot. Flavors were delicious and portions were big. Had to get a to go box. This was my first time and will be back for more. ????

All the food was good. But I really loved the gumbo! The service was nice as well. Really enjoyed the experience.

It has been many years since I have been to “THE ORIGINAL” location on Rector. I live closest to the Bandera Road location and IH-10. Had to pass them both up to get to Rector. This place never fails to impress. Great flavors, balanced seasonings, simple but nice presentation and for someone who has been instructed to “eat more fish”, this satisfies both in selections and flavors. As Sea Island and I are the same age, circa 1965, there is gentle comfort like “coming home”. I loved the brighter decor while still honoring the past with original light fixtures and Jolly Jack always ready with a smile and a fish to welcome you in. Stop by, you won’t be disappointed.

As a 55 year old customer, who has been coming here most of my life, I can say this is some of the finest seafood in San Antonio. All these years and I had not tried the crab cakes..or Diablo Cakes...they are amazing. Loaded with fresh crab and no fillers. Quite unexpected but absolutely amazingly delicious. Recommend 100%
