If you are looking for fresh seafood on SPI, then Dirty Al's is the place for you! The grilled blackened shrimp was fabulous! Others in my party had the fried seafood platter, and fried shrimp and those were delicious too! Just an FYI, they only offer Ranch dressing if you order a salad, but give cocktail and tarter sauce with seafood dishes. Their fries are also great!
The food was very good! I had the fish basket and my kids had the burgers. The crab cake is meh, I wouldn't recommend, not $8 for one. One of the burgers was under cooked, the manager was very polite and apologetic! The bathrooms were a bit dirty! One major issue I had was the bus service. They waited by our table staring at us awkwardly. They cleaned our table without giving us a chance to leave. One of the ladies even SNATCHED the basket from my wife. If it wasent for the other lady with her correcting her I would have. The service needs work, Staff isn't very inviting!! All in all the food is good however I WILL NOT RETURN! Good food isn't enough to excuse rude behavior!
Had to stop for seafood at Dirty Al's! I loved the atmosphere here. We sat outside by the boats. The food was really good. We ordered the New Orleans boiled shrimp and blackened fish tacos. Washed it down with a couple of beers. Very good dinner. I would recommend eating here. There was so much more to try. Maybe next time. Very friendly staff and great service. Thanks for a great experience!
Overall it was a good visit. The food tasted great and the waitress we had was wonderful. My only complaint was the billing system. Me and my battle buddy went in with our family and we were a party of 6. They charged me and him $11 extra for a large party even though it was two separate checks. I didn't notice until I had paid. Was a good experience just check your bill before paying.
Picked over 3 others restaurants from existing reviews on the island. We were seated fast, service was 90% and the food was very fresh. Left full without any stomach pains. Red snapper and shrimp A+. Thanks
