Food was really good and service was exceptional. The atmosphere in this place is so much fun. The "Tombstone" theme is seen throughout the restaurant. We had wings, fries, tots, hamburger, and chicken sandwich. All good hot and tasty!

Food was average. The glamor here is the name & atmosphere. They are super busy so the service is super slow too.

The food was very good. I got the prime rib dip. I saw a couple of the desserts they were huge and looked good. They were out of the cheesecake.

We drove to Galveston with the express purpose of having lunch at Doc Holiday's Roadhouse, after seeing ads and reviews. The resturant is very cool, decorated in full western motif. Our steak meal was okay. The steak was a little more marbled than we like but it was okay. The wait staff was cordial. Maybe a little pricey for the value of the meal, but great western atmosphere.

This will be my first time ever reviewing a restaurant from which I've had neither food nor drink. What I did experience was clumsy, ham-handed attempts to justify a "policy" that they had no reason to have. It was embarrassing for my husband and me, as Galvestonians, to have encouraged a friend who came all the way from Tomball to lunch here, only to be asked to leave. Our friend has an emotional support animal, not a service animal, with two forms of documentation confirming the legitimacy of her pet's status. Her support animal is a male Sphynx cat and he accompanies her most places she goes. He has had his support status for a number of years and has been to many venues in the Greater Houston area, without incident. When he goes into restaurants, he is brought in a buggy where he stays. To make sure that the staff at Doc Holliday's knew about her support animal, my friend called the restaurant to explain about her cat and was told his presence in the restaurant would not be a problem. My husband arrived before my friend and I did, so he'd gotten us a table and himself a margarita for the wait. When we entered the restaurant with the cat in his buggy, we were ushered to the table with no comment from the hostess about the cat. But when our server greeted us, she questioned my friend about the cat and stated that she didn't believe the restaurant allowed any animals other than service animals. My friend explained that cats can't be service animals, but that she had called the restaurant to confirm that her emotional support animal would be allowed in. The server, looking dubious, said that she'd have to get her manager. When the manager arrived, he stated that Doc Holliday's could only allow service animals and since the cat was an emotional support animal, he could not be allowed to stay inside. When my friend mentioned that she'd called to confirm that her cat would be allowed in, he fake smiled and glossed over that because she hadn't gotten the name of the person she'd spoken to. During the exchanges, the cat sat quietly in his buggy. My friend pointed out that since we were already seated and her cat was not behaving in a disruptive manner that would lessen other restaurant patron's dining experience, couldn't we go ahead and have our lunch. The manager, with more fake smiling and protestations that it was out of his hands, and "Hey, I'm an animal lover too!" instead insisted that we would have to leave. We did. I'm sure the manager felt that he'd handled things as best he could by generously comping my husband for the poorly made, overly sweet margarita. I usually give restaurants that disappoint a second, sometimes even a third chance, however, there is no way I'll ever go to Doc Holliday's again. The happy ending to this saga, though, is the delicious lunch we had at Mario's Italian Restaurant on Seawall. The food and service are always outstanding, and both the staff and patrons were delighted to have Dragon, the emotional support animal, as a guest. And for the record, he behaved perfectly, far better than some of the loud, rude adults or screaming, unruly children I've encountered when dining out.

Convenient to the hotel we were staying at and we couldn't have been happier with the food and the service. Warmly greeted and promptly seated. Our waitress was friendly, knowledgeable, and gave just the right amount of attention. The food was delicious! Only wished we had a longer stay in Galveston so we could return to Doc Holliday's a second time.

Fun place. It was super busy and had a 20 minute wait but we found a spot at the bar. The bartender was new and the other bartenders were training/helping him but he did an ok job. Drinks were fantastic along with the food. Fun decor to look at.

Never heard of this place and found it on Yelp. I regret going here because the food is horrible. The service was fine I must say, but the food sucks...

I am torn on giving a 3 - or 4-star review for service. The food was sooooo good. But no lie, we had to ask if we had a waitress/waiter. Our waitress was super sweet, but i guess we had to wait for her to be assigned. The spinach artichoke dip....um, um, um. Hands down the best I've had with the homemade pita chips. I had the bacon burger, which was so big I had leftovers. And cooked exactly how I like it, a little pink and crispy edges! Fries were seasoned well and seemed to be cooked in. Some of the best food I've had in Galveston. But, it definitely gave a good ol' boy atmosphere. Iykyk
Doc's Holiday Roadhouse is a gem in Galveston! The food is absolutely delicious, the service by waitress Bessie was outstanding, and the drinks are spectacular. Overall, it's a must-visit spot that I can't wait to come back to!

Went with a group of 7 on a Monday evening. Caught their happy hour and all apps were $10! The giant pretzel was soft, salty and a little sweet, perfect to eat with the cheese sauce that's included. The Parmesan potato wedges with the jalapeno ranch were fantastic. Also had the buffalo chicken salad with the jalapeno ranch. Buffalo sauce was a bit spicy for me, (I'm a wimp) but still very delicious. Our waitress was very attentive and dinner overall was 10/10.

This place is so amazing. I am a tombstone fanatic. So to come here and see all the different statues and memorabilia was so cool. Loved everything in this place. I did not drink at the bar or eat outside, but the atmosphere and drinks were amazing.Now the food! I had the pork chops that I highly recommend! The glaze and tenderness are melt in your mouth! My husband had the bacon burger that he could not finish but loved it! Also, order onion rings they were not as elevated at the food we ordered, but it was ok. May try another appetizer next time. This is by far our favorite place to ear. Love the server as well very personal and friendly.

This was an awesome restaurant. We had an early dinner here. I had Buffalo Chicken salad and my husband had prime rib sandwich. Both were devine. Our waitress the the sweetest young lady.
