Reviews for Sea Island Shrimp House in San Antonio, TX
What's on the menu for lunch today? Poor man's lobster. Or maybe that's just a poor man wanting some lobster. I have heard... they sell lobster sandwiches at McDonald's up north during season, but that probably doesn't ship very well. A lobster rollwith claw meat and body shred is a frugal approach to the desired dish and definitely an available alternative locally. Cue thecurrent Sea Island special. For just $19.99 a miniature split loaf of white bread brimming over with moist, celery fortifiedlobster meat will be delivered unto you. A bit of butter and a quick toasting allows the mini-loaf to stand up to its contentof moist red and white crustacean bounty. But why stop there! Yes. The lobster roll at Sea Island is satisfying and richerthan Croesus but, like most other lobster roll offerings it is in general a diminutive sandwich that is hardly enough to keep ahard working blue collar type fueled up for the afternoon's activities. The new lobster mac 'n cheese dish at $14.95 seemed tobe the complementary answer we were looking for and we wanted to try it anyway. Macaroni bathed in velvety smooth cheese saucewith a bit of crunchy crust for a nice texture juxtaposition. Topped with bright red and white claw meat the dish's crowningglory was complete. And yes. It was pretty darn good as well. Having pegged our "wow that's rich" meter we were of theopinion that the lobster fare at Sea Island is a poor man's lobster delight, but will leave the question as to whether the tollfor the fare would also be a poor man's delight relatively speaking.

What a wonderful place to eat and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere. From the moment I walked into the restaurant, I saw clean tables... available for seating. The moment customers completed their meals, their tables were cleared appropriately to allow the next setof guests to arrive. Food came out in a very timely fashion considering the number of people eating there that day. The taste ofthe food was awesome service was great. Overall, it was a great value. Read more
I had the shrimp platter and was a bit disappointed at the quality of the oysters. They were very small and a bit fishy... tasting. The lobster roll was good, and the sides were ok. Restaurant was clean and service was very good. Read more
Great service and delicious, fresh food. Does get packed during lunch but well worth the wait.
Thank you for a great experience at this particular location! From the time my brother in law and I had walked in, you could... tell it was going to work out fine! Friendly young lady at the register taking orders! Got exactly what we wanted and went totown! Lots of senior citizens and a bunch of veterans at this particular time in the afternoon (2 PM) but that just made it allthe better for us! Thanks for the service, food and vibe! Be back soon when back in this area of town! Read more
Good food and service. I was really hungry so I ordered the burger. It was excellent. My wife got the #14 lunch. She likes... hers, too. Read more
Since I was a kid I always enjoyed going Sea Island. What I like most is the taste of the seafood which cannot be compared to... anything that I've had through the years. The spices and breading are quite different, but in a very tasty way. I almost alwaysget the fish and shrimp platter which is my absolute favorite. The fish is a decent size and so is the shrimp. I feel for theprice and taste, Sea Island is a great choice. The service and staff are friendly and attentive. My favorite location is I-10for consistency and location. Highly recommended! Read more
