“We were graced by Don and his charitable contribution of hosting a fundraiser for my husband and a fellow officer battle cancer. Don personally checked on us multiple times. The food was delicious and the overall atmosphere was one of great friends and family. Thank you Don and all the staff at Riondo’s for your kindness, great food and your part in making this journey a little less stressful. Kimberly Doraty”
“We had dinner here on the bay side patio and thoroughly enjoyed our time from sunset until dark. The grilled Redfish with rice pilaf and veggies was the pick. The chef made us a special side of sautéed Brussels instead of deep fried as it comes on the menu. They were so yummy with a balsamic glaze. The fish was cooked to perfection topped with a lemon butter sauce that was just the right emulsion. Not too runny, not too thick. Our server was nice and came just the right amount of times. An enjoyable evening! We would both recommend and return!”
“Everything was better than expected !!! Service was impeccable & even made a friend in the process … Only downside was that it closed a little early”

“Fantastic food!!!! Great service. Highly recommend the tuna and the lobster bisque. 10/10”
“We almost had the restaurant to ourselves! The whole town was expecting a hurricane & flooding. Neither happened. We went to Shearn's for our usual Tuesday night 'Steak & Lobster' and it was so special! We wanted to see clouds rolling in, but the big surprise was the gorgeous sunset! So many colors, it was just beautiful! Only thing better was the food! You should go!”

“Tink was the better server I’ve had at a Waffle House! I’m on vacation and she was so nice and food was so delicious. I really appreciate everyone for great experience!”
“The drive through is hit or miss. Either this store has a ton of app orders or it must thaw each burger before they make it, but this drive through is so slooooow.”
“The taste and quality of the food was about the same as McDonald's, honestly, and the price too. The biggest difference was the young lady who took our order. She was the sweetest and most patient young lady. I actually asked her name so I could give her credit on their online survey.
Parking: Not much but it's not that busy inside compared to the drive thru”
“We recommend everything. Everything is fresh and made right here. it's like Italy visited and left this here.”
“Clean, vast array of products, owners invest in business adding more to offer customers, and friendly staff. My go-to for last minute miscellaneous household items and snacks for our family in the local area.”

“Best bar in Galveston! The food is incredible and Spike is a legend!”
“Love this brewery great friendly service, excellent beers and the owner was on premises. Clean plenty of tables and huge bar area. Definitely be coming back when I visit Galveston!”
“Please use whole leaf iceberg lettuce on the burgers instead of shredded lettuce. With the tomatoes, it makes the bun soggy. Catfish and shrimp are excellent. Bartenders are awesome!”
“This is our go-to spot for coffee when we need to get out of the house while working from home.”
“Stopped by for seafood gumbo and as usual it was delicious. The service here is excellent also.”
“Wonderful experience! The food is amazing and the service is outstanding. If you get a chance to visit this restaurant you will LOVE it! Soooooo good!”
“We really, really enjoyed Leon's cut of brisket! Very, very tender with light seasoning. I tend to shy away from sauce, but his family recipe of sauce has a really interesting spice that came on very lightly that was so very interesting. Very unique, and it was something that, had not our wonderful server suggested that I try it, I would have missed a real gem. Something very special! Ribs were so excellent. A gentle pull with your lips will pull the meat off the bone. Sausage was such a good, smooth flavor. Cole slaw was neither sour or sweet; more creamy which made it delicious. I thought the prices were quite inexpensive. Which I'm certain it is a great value to the community so folks can have a nice, hearty meal at a great price. Hoping we left a good tip with our server so they can keep up the great work!”
“Such a cool place to visit. I've been many time but today I had their RootBeer Float the first time, it is the way to go hands down. Whatever you decide, La Kings is sure to impress.
Oh also best Divinity I have ever purchased.
Kid-friendliness: Kids love this place a step back In time”
“Great food at great prices and even better atmosphere, the outdoor seating is fantastic!”
“I visit Galveston pretty much every year to see family and last year we found this awesome little restaurant. The prices are good and the portions are generous, but not ridiculous. And the food is delicious!! We loved it so much we came back twice this visit. I love having a tasty meal while also supporting a local business!”
“great food! the owner is super nice, great prices. Best tacos on the island!”
“Had a wonderful experience at MarMo during a pub crawl yesterday. It really shows when a bar truly prepares for an event like this. Even with the large influx of people, the staff were so friendly and attentive, working extra hard to minimize that wait time at the bar. This was hospitality to its core. It was such a cool vibe. And that hummus was magical. Will definitely be back!”
“The best art community in Texas. So many kind people and art lovers and practitioners of all kinds. Stop in and visit. It’s always a cool place.”
“Best Italian food my husband and I have ever had. Beautiful views from our table. Service was impeccable!”

“It is our first time eating at tacos el pharaón, the service is very good and the food is very delicious, but what I loved most were the charro beans with pork rinds 100% recommended”
“Your food and service was excellent...BUT.. .I would not eat there again. The windows were so filthy that I could barely see thru them. Where is your pride in keeping a great place for people to enjo”
“I got carne asada with rice and beans and my boyfriend got the tacos best we've had in a good while. The meat was so juicy and the fresh tortillas where to die for. Definitely wouldn't mind driving all the way here just for their food alone.”
“We are visiting out of town and wanted Chick fil A for breakfast.
This is located inside the hospital and has a limited menu.
There were only two people working this morning and I had a huge order, but they were extremely kind and friendly and worked as fast as they could.”
“The last time I was there, their speaker didn't work and it was a bit of a wait for my food, but they have always been polite and the food is hot and fresh. No complaints here.
Parking: Not alot of parking and tight spaces.”
“We visited this restaurant based on a recommendation and weren't disappointed! The food was amazing along with the service. Our waiter did a very nice job with helping us pick out the best combination of seafood and accompaniments!”
“I like this Starbuck's usually however, I went in about 3:45 in the afternoon and ordered an iced cinnamon almond milk latte decaf. The young man marked my cup accordingly. Then spoke to someone who walked up on the side and then went back to make my drink. It was NOT DECAF!! I was unable to sleep for 12 hours after. Very upsetting!!!!”
“Can I just say the store owner and the employees that work here even though they are inundated by cruise gas every week when the locals come in they are exceptionally polite the food is fresh the store is clean and they just work their rear ends off to make sure everybody’s happy taken care of, and really fast when I have a choice of sandwich shops in the area I choose this one based on the staff they work hard and they do a great job.”
“Placed a mobile order at Burger King today, and the pickup process went smoothly. The staff were nice enough, although they lacked a bit in personality.
The food was cooked well and served hot, which was great. However, I do have one major gripe: the amount of mayonnaise on the Whoppers. Both our Texas Whoppers and the Impossible Whopper had an insane amount of mayonnaise, which was quite gross, to be honest. We could only get through a portion of our meals because it became too much.
Other than that, everything else was good with our visit. If they could just dial back on the mayo, it would have been a much better experience.”
“Fantastic food!!!! Great service. Highly recommend the tuna and the lobster bisque. 10/10”
“We had Captain Ceveiche for the first time Saturday afternoon. We loved the classic ceviche, it was very refreshing and delicious flavor. The agua Fresca was incredible! We can’t wait to go back.”

“Fantastic service on my first visit and wonderful staff!”
“My family and I came from Fort Worth, TX to visit Galveston. The night before we had a bad experience with Nick’s Seafood. I am so glad the next day we came to Ophelia. Everything here was soooo incredibly delicious. We had fish, shrimp, greens, Mac n cheese, fried okra, fries, yams, and boudin balls. Lastly, The tartar sauce was the best we ever had. In addition, the customer service there was exceptional. The lady advised us of expectations and very easy to talk to. I was very impressed that she was able to be hostess, waitress and cook. I hope this establishment is here for a very long time. I will definitely be coming back and promoting this restaurant to everyone we know.”

“As I was out sightseeing on Galveston I found Blake’s. It’s in the San Luis resort which is a really nice place. But don’t let that stop you from trying it out. The burger meal that I got was only $20. Less than I thought it would be for such a nice place.
I also walked around the pool and discovered they were making complementary s’mores. SCORE!”
“Great drinks but beware the Pina Colada flight….it is sweet!!!”
“We have spent a lot of meals at @TheSpot and the most consistent item is service, drinks and food quality. It’s a great reminder of quality service with Jackie Romero, quick table checks and service with a smile. Hard to come by these days.”
