Clayton's Beach Bar & Grill

Clayton's; the new happening place on the island for daytime drinking. There are a total of 4 bars/ limited menu restaurants situated beach front on SPI, Clayton's is the biggest. Biggest doesn't mean better but if you want to check out a bustling beach crowd or live music beachfront than could be your place. Unfortunately like 3 out of the 4 other beach bars this one also falls prey to slipping on food menu. I think what happens is they focus on drinks & count on the ocean front atmosphere so much they don't need to pay attention to food. Fish tacos super bland as well as the burger, two things that I believe are not too difficult to make good but alas no winning food items- yet.

Well Clayton's may have a leg up on where your friends suggest to meet for a drink but don't count on fab food.

I wish I could give 0 stars. This place has the WORST customer service.

I closed out my tab and the bartender gave me the wrong debit card-- it was exactly the same card as mine except it was someone else's. Our names aren't even close to similar so I have no idea how she managed to screw that up. I didn't notice it until I tried to buy something later (and had left South Padre) and it was declined. By then I was back in Austin and 6 hours away from my card.

I call Clayton's and talked to the general manager Randy, who offered nothing to make up for the MAJOR mistake. I'm in the process of moving and won't be able to get a new card for almost two weeks. More than just making my life much more complicated, they screwed over TWO paying customers. I don't think it's asking too much for my drinks to be comp'd, but Randy wouldn't do it. He only offered to give me food and drinks when I came back, but that ain't happenin'.

Any good restaurant would credit back my money instead of offering empty apologies. They decided to charge my card after realizing the mistake! Who does that?? The drinks and food weren't even worth it. The management and drinks are awful.

Edit: Wow they are prompt at deleting Facebook posts! Not at taking care of their paying customers.

The seasoned fries in my fried shrimp basket were especially tasty.
