“Simply amazing, this steakhouse rivals any top tier steakhouse of Major cities across the USA. We visited from Dallas before a cruise 🛳 and stumbled upon this gem of the island. drinks were tasty, food was cooked superbly, sides were massive family style, and dessert 🍨 to die for. they do enforce dress code but that only adds to the ambience of the experience. let's be frank, be a grown up and dress for the occasion. (added this since there were so many salty reviews about the dress code)”

My only complaint, which is huge, is about the majority of the clientele. Loud, obnoxious, men wearing backwards caps and shorts in a very elegant atmosphere. When i go to a rather expensive restaurant, I would expect to see better behavior. So many were acting like it was a sports bar.”

“Island Time became our watering hole on our recent vacation and we were so happy with our experience. The staff was amazing, especially Julie and Josh, the drinks were fantastic, the food was your typical bar food but it was good, and the drag show was entertaining. The only negative that our group had to say was that the drag performers were a little too push for tips; literally putting their hand in front of you for a tip. This happened a few times to us, and others, and when we tipped them one of them rolled their eyes and said “that’s it”. Other than that, we had a great time and would totally go back to this fun and welcoming place.”

“Let me tell you about my evening at the Shrimp Shack in Galveston—it was the kind of experience that makes you want to write poetry about fried seafood. The shrimp? Perfectly golden, crispy, and so fresh I swear they waved at me from the fryer. Each bite was like a little crunchy hug from the Gulf. And as if that wasn’t enough, the sunset decided to show off. Sitting there, stuffing my face with fried shrimp while the sky turned shades of pink and orange, I felt like I’d hit the jackpot of simple pleasures. Shrimp, sunset, and sea breeze—what more could you want? Highly recommend. 10/10, would shrimp again.”

The Steakhouse 5222 Seawall Boulevard, Galveston Steak House • $$$$

“I had the Steakhouse Skewer with lobster, filet mignon, and colossal shrimp. It was fabulous, but next time my husband and I will share it. So much food! We were staying at another resort and had no way to take home the leftovers. Our waiter, Ricardo, was absolutely amazing. He made everything so wonderful. My only complaint, which is huge, is about the majority of the clientele. Loud, obnoxious, men wearing backwards caps and shorts in a very elegant atmosphere. When i go to a rather expensive restaurant, I would expect to see better behavior. So many were acting like it was a sports bar.”

Murdochs 2215 Seawall Boulevard, Galveston Bar • $$

“I have visited Murdoch for years visiting in Galveston, Texas. The store is nice. The prices are reasonable however, their store policy before closing time they stop letting customers enter 15 minutes before when the store is not officially close., if a merchant says they are open till 7 PM. The door should be open till 7 PM but they close the doors on customers and turn them away., they only open the doors to allow customers in the store to leave. Bad business Murdoch your customers are what make you and if someone has to enter for whatever reason whether it’s water or to use the lady or men’s room, it should be allowed until 7 PM”

We ordered Tilapia Chipotle which had a tasty shrimp sauce and a side of Charro beans. I tried Taquitos Chilango with Charro beans for the first time. Will definitely order this dish again. Finished with freshly made Churros and Sopapillas. Have dined there about once a month because the food is fresh and well-prepared. They have karaoke night every Friday for those who can (or cannot) sing.”

“Island Time became our watering hole on our recent vacation and we were so happy with our experience. The staff was amazing, especially Julie and Josh, the drinks were fantastic, the food was your typical bar food but it was good, and the drag show was entertaining. The only negative that our group had to say was that the drag performers were a little too push for tips; literally putting their hand in front of you for a tip. This happened a few times to us, and others, and when we tipped them one of them rolled their eyes and said “that’s it”. Other than that, we had a great time and would totally go back to this fun and welcoming place.”

“We found Nifany’s Cafe by accident, and the first thing that caught our eye was the “German Breakfast” option on the menu.

We ordered the German breakfast as well as the English muffin breakfast, and as native Germans, we can honestly say the German breakfast tasted very authentic! The English muffin was delicious as well, and so were the coffee drinks we ordered.

I especially appreciated the board games and toys available for kids. We had my toddler with us, and it was wonderful to have something to keep him entertained while we couple enjoy our breakfast.

The owner was also incredibly nice, welcoming, and friendly, which made the experience even better.

We will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend giving Nifany’s Cafe a try.”

“Ive visited many Cuban restaurants in the past. When I came across this one on social media, I had to give it a try… AND IM GLAD I DID! This restaurant gets additional points for being away from busy Houston and all of its traffic. This small restaurant hit the spot and brought all of the home cooked feels back. We ordered several different dishes and each one of them tasted absolutely amazing. We ordered the arroz con pollo, 5 stars! We ordered the picadillo, 5 stars! We ordered the ropa vieja, 5 stars! Finally we ordered the ropa vieja tacos, 5 stars! We topped our meals off with guava and cream cheese empanadas with a scoop of ice cream along with a cafe cubano, 20 stars! I love this place and will definitely be back. Our waitress, Sienna, was the best. She was attentive and very polite. She went above and beyond to ensure our visit was everything we thought it would be and then some! We will be asking for her when we return.”

Blossoms Pizza 1 Hope Boulevard, Galveston Pizza • $$

“The service was not good. The girl that waited on us seem like she didn’t want to be there. We ordered our pizza at 9:07 pm and did not receive it till 9.50 pm. There was a family there before us that was still waiting on their ice cream. I ordered and went to the front desk and came back and they still had not had their ice cream.. Finally, some other people came into the back and things seem to get a little better. They finally ask us what kind of pizza we were waiting on like maybe they had lost our order. Then finally after that, we got our pizza and and we went back to our room to eat. And it was actually pretty good.
And as far as the hotel goes, it was not as great as I expected it to be after waiting all these years to stay there. For the money I paid I expected a little more. I have got better satisfaction out of lower end hotel chains. But that’s for another review somewhere else but overall the main reason we stayed was for the Christmas light experience and Iceland, which we enjoyed very much.”

If you’re lucky and both Sam and Victoria are there ask Victoria for a strawberry shortcake Martini (don’t really know the name but that’s what it tasted like). Both of those bartenders are a great find by this hotel.”
