We walked in straight off the beach and were very happy with how quick and easy it was ordering at the counter.The friendly staff answered all of our questions about the menu and recommended the perfect dishes.We tried the Fried Seafood Platter and the Crawfish Étouffée. The étouffée was delicious.We will definitely visit again.

It’s our first time trying Benno’s and highly recommended for you to stop by and try it. Food was very delicious-Cajun grill shrimp, Jambalaya, kids fried fish fingers you must try!The staff was so welcoming, friendly and attentive every single one of them. While we were eating we notice how they were cleaning ketchup bottles very detailed. Overall everything was amazing. ?????

This place has some great seafood. For someone who doesn't live on the coast, I appreciated the very tasty seafood. It's a nice place to come hang out. You order at a counter but they come to your table and will refill drinks etc. I was a bit unimpressed with some of the service. The counter ladies were not nice. I asked about the menu and the one was relatively rude. But the folk coming to the table for drink refills and such were super nice.

A seafood restaurant on Galveston Island. I had the grilled seafood plate w/fried oysters. The plate came with fish, shrimp and oysters. Along with grilled new potatoes (really good flavor) and coleslaw (ok, I guess, but I cannot eat raw veggies). The seafood Itself was cook ok, but was missing that fresh seafood taste. For this reason, I have to say it's taste was just mediocre at best.

The fried catfish, hush puppies, and fried crawfish were amazing and seasoned so well. The service was friendly and attentive. Love this place! Next time we're in Galveston we're going to go back!

It was aight. Went for dinner because it was a Friday and well, it’s lent and stuff so we couldn’t eat meat. They were out of crabs and crawfish which was a let down. Grilled Cajun Shrimps were good besides them being really spicy. Food took a bit long to get but the flavor and how good it was helped that. Personally I wouldn’t have gone there if it wasn’t lent since I’m not so much into seafood besides crawfish and lobsters. It was a cool experience though. The customer service was good and the food was good besides it being quite spicy. Thank for the experience!

I was CRAVING boiled shrimp and ended up having the best shrimp I've ever had !! They were listed as "Hot Buttered Pepper Shrimp."I asked what they were and the young lady gave me a PERFECT description...I love when the employees know how the food is prepared. Sauteed U peel em shrimp with a spicy tarragon butter and garlic baguette roll... INCREDIBLE !!Can't wait to come back this summer :)Parking: Plenty of parking plus Seawall spots

Excellent old Galveston style seafood! Fabulous chargrilled seafood! Cajun sides are incredible!

We ordered the cajun grilled seafood platter and catfish fillet platter and were definitely impressed! Tons of great cajun seasoning and the red seasoned potatoes underneath were to die for. The wait was very long and don't expect a standard sit down and dine restaurant-you stand in line to order and take your cup for refills but don't let that deter you! It was definitely worth the wait.
We visited Galveston Beach on the Fourth of July and it seemed many restaurants were open and we picked this one. Service was attentive and quick. We got a cajun grilled seafood platter (shrimp, oysters, tilapia, cajun potatoes, bread) and gumbo. We used to get fried seafood often but now we are into grilled/blackened seafood and this was really good. Gumbo had shrimp and sausage and tasted good but was a little spicy for our taste. They have outdoor seating and seagulls can be very aggresive; if you eat outside keep an eye out and better finish all your food!

The catfish was horrible. Couldn’t eat it after waiting two hours. We always come here when we get to Galveston. Not anymore. Total waste of time and money.

Great food, at a very competitive price; also a good place, when it’s not raining, to enjoy a Cold Beverage and watching the traffic do it’s thing!

Service was really good! You order at the counter and then they serve your dinner to your table. Fresh shrimp fried to perfection. Delicious hush puppies Key lime pie to top it off. Super friendly staff. Gulf shrimp as it was meant to be. Thanks for dinner, yall!
