Best Waterfront Restaurants in Galveston

December 25, 2024: Merry Christmas! We had the best Clam Chowder ever and delicious Fish and Chips with four large pieces of crispy battered fresh fish on a pile of French Fries. (We split that and glad we did!) Fast efficient service with a well-trained waitress. We had a harrowing drive through Houston and thought the day was ruined. Eating here (with reservations!) redeemed the day and turned around a bad situation. Remember, three or more mega ships depart from here so make reservations as far in advance as you can. We got there at 5PM and a few tables were empty. By the time we left, an hour later, there was a long list waiting for a table.

Overall fabulous Christmas Eve Happy Hour and Dinner. Friendly staff, great drinks and food! 🎄🎄🎄🎄

Landry’s never fails to be a staple of Galveston’s dining scene, and tonight was no exception. The service was impeccable. Felipe, our server, was friendly and helpful during the entire dining experience. The food was excellent. The chef’s course pairings are very reasonably priced relative to the portion sizes and quality of the food served . I highly recommend the crab and shrimp tortellini.

Fantastic restaurant with great food. One of the best in Galveston. We try to go as often as possible.

Excellent wait-staff… our go-to Guy is Garrett. He is a rockstar with impeccable service and attention! Great menu both lunch, brunch, and dinner with lots of options. A must are the mussels and fried quail on the appetizer menu.
