About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Lively
  • Good for groups
In 1998, Buddy Guindon, his wife Katie, and his brother Kenny opened Katie's Seafood Market in Galveston, Texas. For more than 20 years now, Katie's Seafood Market has provided the highest quality of products available to its customers. The majority of seafood comes from local fishermen and shrimpers, including Red Snapper, Grouper, Golden Tile Fish, Flounder, Oysters, Shrimp, and Blue Crabs. A producer contacted Guindon in the hopes of doing a reality show about his family business. In 2015, the reality show 'Big Fish Texas' came to life on National Geographic. As a supporter of the local economy, In September of 2019, Buddy opened Katie’s Seafood House, next to the market. Katie’s seafood market supplies the restaurant with all fresh seafood. We take pride in being the only local seafood restaurant on the island that brings fresh fish straight from the boat and to your table.

    All of the shrimp dishes were super fresh. The Mexican shrimp cocktail was absolutely out of this world. The best I’ve ever had.its really big so plan to share. The fried , peel and eat and grilled shrimp were all excellent. The only disappointing part of our visit was the frozen mixed drinks. All ice and no flavor. The ice wasn’t fine enough . The drinks were just crunchy. I still give Katie’s 5 stars because of the food.

    We love this restaurant! We try to eat here whenever we can! Best seafood in Galveston and Houston! Service is always excellent-somewhat loud but it’s a big restaurant so expect it! We also make reservations- considered a must!

    We sat outside which was much quieter and relaxing than inside. Reservations highly recommended as it was busy early on a Sunday afternoon. Service was fantastic but food was just ok. Big portions but it wasn’t amazing food. Favorite item was the shrimp frogs! Management came over right away when we had issue with wrong item brought out twice and intent on making it right which was really nice.

    This time was not as good as others. Enjoy eating at Katie’s but the food was cold and waitress was distracted.

    Jacob was an excellent server. Portions were large and food was fresh and better than expected. Desserts were disappointing but didn’t dull our experience.
