Daniel was fabulous and so was the daytime bartender Katelyn. Great service! Daniel told us about the free bus. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about South Padre Island. The shrimp was delicious and so were the palomas!

Kailynn Ramos gave us the best service ever. Food was amazing, music was good area was very clean. Overall 10/10 I ended up getting the seafood platter thanks to Kailynn. Definitely will be coming back to Ola’s.

Five-Star Experience at Ola Seaside Grill – Thanks to Kailynn! I had an amazing experience at Ola Seaside Grill, and a big part of that was thanks to the incredible bartender, Kailynn. From the moment I sat down, she made me feel welcomed with her warm energy and genuine smile. Kailynn is not only friendly and attentive, but she also knows her craft — every drink she made was perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. She took the time to recommend some of her favorite cocktails, and they did not disappoint. Whether it was a classic margarita or something more adventurous, Kailynn nailed it every time. Her vibe made the entire evening better — like catching up with a longtime friend who just happens to be a mixology wizard. If you're visiting Ola Seaside Grill , do yourself a favor and grab a seat at the bar. Kailynn will take great care of you. She’s a true gem and made my afternoon unforgettable.

I was down for Memorial Day weekend and their burgers really hit the spot! A classic cheeseburger for 9 is so nice, especially when the food was as good as it was! It was a nice spot to beat the heat, grab a nice refreshment and enjoy some good food! It’s a bit further down the island but well worth it! Great service and bartender too! Be sure to leave a tip, and be kind!

Kailynn is an outstanding bartender who truly knows how to elevate the dining experience! During happy hour, she recommended some fantastic food pairings that complemented the drinks perfectly. The sliders were juicy and flavorful, and the loaded nachos were a hit at our table. Kailynn's attention to detail and her ability to suggest the best items on the menu made our visit unforgettable. If you're looking for a great atmosphere with delicious food and drinks, definitely check out her bar!

We liked this place so much, we went back three times during our trip! The drinks were great (especially the 5 happy hour drinks) and the Chicken Tikka pizza was the best food we had on the island! We got a friendly welcome from Daniel every time we walked in the door, even when it was near closing time.
