Likes it - We just went
to South Padre for the second time in two years for our
vacation, and we discovered a gem on the Island. Wild Fork
Restaurant is a wonderful improvement to the Island. We
ate at the restaurant every time they were opened and we
were not disappointed. Wild Fork has the best atmosphere
and the most incredible food. The staff was awesome and
the Chef took time to come out to greet their customers.
That shows how much class this little gem has, and more
business on the Island really needs to take lessons on how
to treat their customers. If you want a great dinning
experience with food that is out of this world go to the
Wild Fork Restaurant.
(From September 2010)
Richard and Kristi Carney have broken through the fried-food
wall of island cuisine and created a truly authentic Italian
bistro. Immediately charmed with the laid-back atmosphere
and simple but thoughtful menu, we snacked on a small plate
of flavorful olives and homemade bread while we waited for
our veal chop, which came perfectly grilled, with a bit of a
smoky char, with roasted red potatoes and sautéed spinach.
Keep an eye out for the nightly specials. BYOB ($5 corkage).
