Michelle HicksJune 2, 2016I had the crab and tilapia stuffed poblano. Freaking ahhhhhmazing!! Comes with 4 shrimp also. Bf said redfish also delish! Go sit upstairs! Better views. Service was fast for a Friday afternoon.
Angelica CatMarch 28, 2015I ordered coconut shrimps they taste great! Just like red lobster! I forgot to take a picture of shrimps. Raw oysters are not bad It's not unlikely Pappadeaux Seafood, great taste and a huge oysters!
Sheri Lee NorrisMarch 14, 2014Fish & chips, I know it sounds boring and too traditional, but they were fabulous. Husband had coconut shrimp and loved it. Great balcony area. Good service but very popular - so busy. Be patient!
Priya B.November 10, 2013We had great service and loved our food. I got the crab cake sandwich and my hubby got the tilapia and crab stuffed poblano. Kids enjoyed their meals - large portions. They validate parking too.
Amber SniderMarch 25, 2017Friendly service, food tastes awesome as well as the drinks!! Only downfall is it's a little pricey.
Tyeshia BarnesAugust 1, 2020The crab balls are amazing!!! My waiter, Ivory, was an exceptional delight. Very helpful with the menu and polite. Great service.
CRATEinteriorsFebruary 16, 2013Get your Brit fix here with a steaming order of fish n chips and request upper terrace views of the colorful boardwalk...now that's a Crate idea!
- Patricia ChesserOctober 23, 2013MUST DO: Sit upstairs, eat the Redfish Picatta & enjoy the view. You will not be disappointed!!
Jeff CeynarSeptember 2, 2013Great food and wonderful location if you want to visit Pleasure Pier. They will validate your parking for purchase of $25 or more. Love the shrimp queso.
Autumn LynnJune 1, 2014Good food I had the fish and crab Orleans and it was really delicious. Good prices and a great view IMO
KrystleMay 6, 2012Yum yum had the blackened tilapia & broiled shrimp on top of a crab stuffed poblano pepper it was amazing & the coconut shrimp is always awesome!
Robert GrahamJune 30, 2016Validated parking! The staff seems new. The draft selection is weak. I put a hat on my beer.
Galveston.comJune 10, 2013Break away from the beach and enjoy fresh, wholesome fare on the most popular beachfront balcony on the Seawall in Galveston. Read more
Silvara WildeDecember 28, 2013The fish & chips are really good. So is the brownie sundae. There's only a few small brownie pieces in it though.
Andrew SummersettOctober 16, 2016Love this place. Good food good service. Seafood stuffed jalapenos are eonderful.
Jennifer HatchMarch 12, 2013Shrimp kisses are a must. If its busy go upstairs and grab a seat at the bar. First come first served.
Lori BDecember 28, 2012Jalapeño stuffed with crab! Awesome! hottttt... The Calamari was good too. Nice view of the Pleasure Pier.
Incredibly good crab cake sandwich!! The sunset punch is also one heck of a good drink for the ladies.
William RobinsonJuly 19, 2015The fish and chips are too crunchy the drinks are outstanding. Great atmosphere.
TriciaApril 8, 2013They have great food!! Really worth the prices!! I recommend the shrimp scampi and fish and chips!!!
JC DouglasJune 1, 2012Happy hour is awesome, the flight upstairs is worth the awesome service. Ask for Carlette
- Lindsey P.July 26, 2011Coconut shrimp, avocado dip are awesome. Excellent service upstairs with Crystal. Awesome ice cream!
Mark LoveMay 26, 2011Great service (Dave) and yummy fall-off-bones BBQ ribs. Nice view from upper patio. Hammer Head drink rocks.
Sou S.July 15, 2012Try the Crawfish Platter (Fried Crawfish Tails and Crawfish Etouffee) - Good ettouffee
misti brockJuly 10, 2015We had appetizers, and some were cold while others were just overly fried. Not our favorite in Galveston.
ClintJuly 20, 2015Not bad, but not my first choice on the seawall - if you are bring friends to the pleasure pier, it's convinient
Caitlin O'SteenApril 27, 2012Crawfish wasn't very good, but everything else was awesome! Our only good waiter in Galveston was here....I think James was his name
Shannon EasterMarch 4, 2013The view was great. That's about the only thing that was great. The food is extremely overpriced for what you get. No care at all was put into preparing this food. Do NOT waste your money!!!!
Alex🐓 HinnJuly 27, 2013The wait for our table was "underquoted." The bartender had an attitude, and her mgr was less than helpful; She literally made me chug a drink. The only redeeming quality of F.T. was the food.
