Padre Island Burger Co.
Padre Island
A true island original, Padre Island Burger Co. is a staple for burger lovers looking to kick back and enjoy a laid-back, beachy atmosphere. Their gourmet burgers feature ½ lb. certified fresh Angus beef on a sweet sourdough bun, served with crispy fries. Creative names and unique flavor combinations set them apart—try the Dr. Padre, Mr. Beckham, the Hangover, or the Chronic. If you prefer to customize your meal, you can build your own burger by choosing from beef, chicken, or a plant-based patty and topping it with fresh ingredients of your choice. Just minutes from the beach, it's the perfect place to grab lunch after a morning on the sand or refuel before another island adventure.
