    Ohhhhh....they lived up to the 2.9 star rating!!! This place is straight up disgusting. Sticky chairs, sticky menus, filthy bathrooms and shitty service!!! Food absolutely mediocre!!! We ordered drinks and waited and waited! I ended up going and taking them off of the bar so they wouldn't be warm. One bartender and 2 waitresses-very few people to serve. I would NOT recommend this restaurant!!! Do not go!

    We were in Galveston Beach for the day and we decided to stop here to use the bathroom and get a drink. I did not partake in the food so I cannot really speak on that but the drink was decent and the price was fair. It's a huge bar with outdoor and indoor seating and there's lots of TVs where you can watch the games along the shore

    Food was okay , beer was cold and they had TVs going with baseball. Had an espresso martini it was tasty ($14) they didn't garnish with coffee beans Overall the experience was nice and convenient as our Airbnb was walking distance. Our Server was very pleasant and attentive. Atmosphere was very laid back.

    My husband and I had dinner at Brick House Tavern last night. We eat dinner hear regularly and always come back because we enjoy our time. We both ordered the seared salmon dinner and swapped the green beans for broccoli. I asked for my salmon to be cooked a little crispy and although they delivered on that, it did dry it out a little. But the taste was still there. The jasmine rice was delicious as always, it's soft and buttery. I also had a taste for fries but ordered a side of sweet potato tots which hit the spot. At the last minute we decided to try the calamari since we hadn't before, I'm glad we did. It was seasoned really well and topped with jalapenos. I skipped the peppers myself, but the calamari itself tasted really good. The service was great. Our server was friendly, attentive, and handled our table along with several others. The restaurant was pretty crowded due to the business of spring break on the seawall area. The fireplace was blazing inside which made the restaurant feel warm and cozy and the t.v.'s were showing college basketball. So it's definitely a fun spot if you're a sports fan.

    Due to inclement weather in the DFW area we were delayed to travel for a few days. Picked Brick House to get lunch and watch the divisional game. We informed upfront there were only two servers and service will be delayed. We did not mind..where else were we going in frigid temps and high winds. Jesse was our attendee, he rocked it across the board! The team that was there was efficient and pleasant. Next pre-cruise this will be the spot.

    Great place to watch a game with friends! Came here to watch the March Madness championship game with a larger group and we were readily seated. There were plenty of tvs showing the game. Food is decent and filling, but a little on the heavier side, which is not unexpected for this kind of venue. I would order the fish and chips again, which were pretty sizable. Recommend margaritas on Mondays, they have $15 towers. Individual margs are $5. Our server was accommodating and even added strawberry!

    Cutting across Texas to New Orleans, I knew we would be skimming the shore of the Gulf of Mexico…read more Shut up. My review, I can call it what I want. That being said, it had been some time since I've gotten some proper fish-n-chips. I had to remedy that. Especially since the BBQ fiasco the other day, I was going to go on a hunger strike, but once I made the sign, I got potato chip fingers on it and started to eat it. So, I decided to fight fire with fire, and figured I would eat myself happy again. Which I'm never mad about. Sometimes I make myself angry just so I can eat myself happy. And now, the rest of the story. I have learned that I enjoy Cod fish for my fish-n-chips. And I think also Haddock. I am not a fisher nor a fish. So it's hard for me to say. But I know Cod is one for sure. I also sometimes have baby mouth and am afraid of new things. I do know I love my fish battered and deep fried. I also know that Shark Shack had good reviews for their fish, so, that was all I needed to hear. Plus, it was a perfect little eatery with bar seating, table seating, and gifts! So you can bet your bottom dollar tomorrow I ordered the English fish-n-chips. Boy oh boy. Just like how Britain colonized all those countries back when it was the cool thing to do, these fish and chips colonized my taste buds. Respectfully. This plate came with FIVE logs of fish. FIVE! Maybe they were tubes of fish? Honestly, I don't care what shape they came in, they looked perfectly crunchy and perfectly brown and perfectly fish. The super cool extra bonus? These fish came with CRISPIES! I've only ever seen crisps with fish from Long John Silvers, whose fish is probably as far from Cod or Haddock as legally possible. I actually think one of my pieces of fish from there had shoelaces. Didn't matter. Still ate it. Respectfully. (If you aren't privileged enough to know what fish crispies are, there little batter pieces that fry or fall off the fish as they cook. Basically little crumblies. If you make a wish over a fork of them and get the forkful in your mouth without dropping any, your wish will come true). Homemade tartar sauce was good, but there was a certain flavor profile that I wasn't a fan of. It was still good to use on the fish rods, it just tasted a little too much out of the tartar sauce field for me. The meal was wrapped up nice and tight with lovely square-cut fries. Perfect doneness. Perfect Ketchup vessel. I could just stare at a pile of them all night. Mostly because I'm weird.

I decided to lean more toward the 4-star side, so here we are. While in Galveston for a quick weekend getaway, we wanted to go out for dinner. Katie's was my first choice, but the wait was too long, so I pulled up Yelp to see what else was recommended. Shark Shack had great reviews, and when we arrived there was zero wait, so we went for it. The one area where I docked a star was the service. We were seated immediately but waited quite a while for our server to appear, and then even longer to get our drinks. I was so excited for a margarita, but when it arrived in a plastic cup, I was immediately disappointed. Plastic cups are for the beach and nightclubs, not a restaurant with a bar. And that's not where the awful drink experience ended -- it was so weak and just not good at all. Our server seemed so disinterested in everything: taking our order, answering questions, and when it came time to pay, we had to wait ages to see him and wave him down. The food was decent with no major complaints. It wasn't "blow your mind" amazing, but it was good. The owner -- well, I assume he was the owner -- came and spoke to us when he found out my husband was military, and he was really nice, friendly, and very supportive of the military community, offering a very generous military discount. That definitely raises the rating and is much appreciated, so thank you. Overall, the big fixes for me would be the service and the drink situation. I can't say we would rush to come back just because we love Katie's for the service, food, and drinks..

When they first opened, I was excited to see them get their own space, and my early experiences were great--the service was fast, the food was good, and I was happy to support them. Unfortunately, something seems to have changed. On multiple recent visits for takeout, I've found myself waiting as long as 25 minutes for what should have been a relatively simple order, while customers who ordered after me and were dining in received their food much sooner. Unfortunately, the bigger issue is that when I finally get home, the order has frequently been wrong. I also typically order a chocolate shake with my meal. The shake is usually prepared almost immediately, which sounds great--except that by the time my food is ready, the shake has been sitting long enough to be completely melted. At that point, I usually just take the order and leave because I don't want to make a scene over something that should be easily avoidable. I've also used DoorDash to order from MAC-IES twice, and both times my order was incorrect. I've continued giving MAC-IES chances because I genuinely want to see them succeed. I believe in supporting local businesses, and I'd much rather leave a five-star review than a negative one. But after repeated problems with wait times, order accuracy, and overall consistency, I've reached the point where I have to be honest about my experience. Lesson learned: I'll be spending my money elsewhere. I sincerely hope MAC-IES can get these issues addressed because I'd like to see them succeed. But for me, enough is enough. I won't be returning to the Broadway location.

So other than the service being a little slow, the place was really cute. The ambience is amazing. I love the big chandelier. It gives you old-time rich vibes. Their menu has different options. They do have a vegetarian portion. The samosas were kind of like beef, taco mimosas that's what it taste like to me. They're red fish was really good cause the crab crusted on the outside and the sauce mixed together. I definitely recommend getting that if you like fish. I got it with a side of mac & cheese. It does come with veggies, but they let you change out the side. My mom got the margarita pizza and I've had pizza for sure but they do have five or six options of pizzas to choose from. And all the best thing was the bread pudding. Definitely get that save some room. It was warm with ice cream and the perfect bread pudding. I've ever had get it. There is street parking after six. It's free. There's a garage parking too. I don't know how much it costs. Besides the service, everything was really good. It took them a while to fill up our waters, but I did notice they were shortstaffed.
