When you enter, you go up to the counter to place your order, then find a seat. They don't have a lot of seating, but they also do have a bar area where you can watch them, cook. We got a special, which included a burger, fries, drink, and a scoop of ice cream for dessert. The burgers and fries are excellent! You give them a list of what toppings you want, and they have quite a lot to choose from. My boyfriend ordered grilled onions, and when he got his burger at first, he was mad because "he didn't see the onions ". They chop their grilled onions up into small pieces - it actually looked more like pickle relish than grilled onions. Once he figured that out he realized he did have the onions on his burger as ordered, and really enjoyed his burger. The Mac sauce comes in a side container. It is very much like the "other" Mac sauce, except it is spicier, on the peppery side. It was a little much for me, so I skipped it. The drinks were your basic fountain drinks (Pepsi products) but I need to give a shout-out to the pebble ice - always a favorite! The ice cream was your basic flavors, vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate, but it was absolutely excellent! It was the perfect dessert to a yummy meal! We especially appreciated easy parking in this area. Would highly recommend!

Kritikos Grill is definitely not authentic Greek food. The Greek decor is about all that is close…read moreto Greece you can get. The service was good, but the food was terrible. I'm not sure what their hummus was, but it was terrible. It was clumpy, watery and had an odd taste which might as well been oatmeal. The pita bread had an odd taste too. I ordered the pork chops, okra and rice pilaf. I'd give it a 2/5. The okra wasn't terrible, the rice wasn't traditionally basmati and was okay. The pork chops were edible probably because they were marinated so they didn't come out overcooked or dry. My husband got the chicken kabobs, which were flavorless, dry, and overcooked. Overall, the food lacked quality, texture, and flavor 2/5. Service 4/5. Kritikos Grill will not be on our Galveston foodie's list.

That said, Galveston's own Koop's goes above and beyond when it comes to giving meats the low and slow treatment. Koop's has sat on 45th and Broadway for at least five years, but today -- my 45th birthday -- was my first time visiting one of the island's very beloved eateries. Even before I set foot through its front door, my heart, mind and stomach were set on a one-meat platter consisting of brisket. I told P.J., who owns and operates the establishment, to give me a combination of moist and lean since I was a new customer. Well, well, well. It turned out that I made the right decision to get both types of brisket because I thoroughly enjoyed the one-meat platter: juicy, tender and ample. It was super easy to cut into pieces, too. I paired the meat with macaroni and cheese and broccoli and cheese after learning that the sides that I originally wanted -- the dirty rice and the corn -- ran out for the day. The former sides came in generous helpings, but because I was so enamored with the brisket, I didn't finish them, and they're now sitting in my fridge with the next item I'm going to rave about. My mom accompanied me, and she ordered the loaded baked potato. You know the old adage, "Everything's bigger in Texas"? It applies to the tater because it was massive enough to feed a whole family. A baked potato that huge isn't stingy on deliciousness. According to my mom, it was a bit spicy, which isn't a bad thing if you ask me. The interior of Koop's is quintessential Texan with some hints of the island. It was like dining inside an old time country store sitting beside a dirt road. To the right of the entrance is a corner that boasts the restaurant's numerous trophies and accolades, letting you know that they take their craft very seriously. As for the staff, P.J. and Kevin, the gentleman who served us our orders, are super friendly. Future diners are more than likely to leave Koop's not just full, but with a slightly larger friend circle.

Koops has owners who are genuinely kind, and that alone makes the experience memorable. When he…read moreasked how I liked the food, I didn't sugarcoat it -- told him it wasn't my thing. Instead of brushing it off or giving the usual polite nod, he actually asked why, listened, and seemed to care about the answer. That part stood out more than anything on the plate. BBQ is a tradition, and everyone has their own style. Koops has theirs, and it clearly works for plenty of people. It just isn't mine. I won't be back, but the fact that the owner took the time to ask, listen, and treat feedback like something worth hearing says a lot about the place and the people running it.

Food: 3/5 Service: 4/5…read moreAmbiance: 4/5 Overall: 3.4/5 Honestly, nothing here was particularly bad. My favorite thing here was their sides, particularly the onion rings, tater tots, and the fried mozzarella were all really good. But what I found most apparent in all of their dishes is the insanely high amount of salt in our meal. Particularly in the wings, but also in our burgers and even the sides, they put an extremely unnecessary amount of salt in their food. Even as someone who usually find things bland and likes my food salty, even I couldn't stand the salt content. May have just been a one time thing for the day, since this is a local place and I don't see many having this issue, but for my experience, this was just not it.

When I got my carne asada burrito I am not gonna lie I was kinda sad looking at it. Burrito consisted of meat and flour tortilla with onions and cilantro on the side and charro beans. To me this felt like a giant taco until I doctored it up. Luckily my partners plate came with guacamole and cream. Charro beans on their own were exactly how my grandmother from Mexico would make them. It took me back! Let me just tell you the flavors are there and the meat was perfect on this burrito. I had an excellent experience eating here despite my judgement. My partner was laughing at me because when I say I enjoyed eating here. I was eyes closed back home eating grandma authentic Mexican food at home. I could have cried rest my grandmother soul. The staff was also very attentive and friendly. I asked about the cook and where they were from. I couldn't thank them enough for such a fantastic meal despite my prejudgments of the burrito.
