Great Place and Good Food…read more My wife and I enjoyed dinner at Katie's Seafood House the evening before a cruise, and everything was great. When we arrived, there was about a 30-minute wait for a table in the main dining room, so we just grabbed the first available table in the bar area. Th server immediately noticed our presence, and came over, introduced herself and took our drink order. We shared the Crab Stuffed Shrimp for $34.00 which included 4 jumbo shrimps stuffed with crabmeat Rockefeller stuffing of spinach and baked in a white wine mushroom butter sauce served with garlic mashed potatoes. We also shared the Fried Texas Gulf Shrimp Dinner for $17.00 which included 8 jumbo shrimps, and served with fries, cole slaw, and jalapeno hush puppies. Both dishes were very good and enough for sharing. Everything was fresh, cooked to order, had good seasoning and flavor, and tasted very good. I wish the cole slaw portion was larger than a small 20 oz souffle cup and there were more than two hush puppies. Considering the number of guests in the crowed restaurant, the service was fast and friendly. After ordering, our food was served hot and fresh within 20 minutes of ordering.

We came in with a large group after making our reservation over six weeks in advance. The food was…read morefantastic, but unfortunately the service didn't live up to it. Our waiter forgot several things throughout the meal, and we had to get up and go to the bar ourselves multiple times just to get drinks. At one point I stepped away to take a phone call and saw our waiter sitting at another table with guests while we were still waiting on items we had already asked for, which was frustrating. We brought our concerns to management, but there really wasn't much of a response. It's disappointing because the kitchen did a great job, but the service and lack of accountability took away from what should have been a great experience.

The wait staff was super friendly, and very attentive. I liked the fact that there were appetizer options that you could as a half order, as many times the appetizers are so large that once you're finished, you have no room for your meal. We decided on a half order of the hush puppies. They came out hot, crispy, and so delicious! For our meals, I got the fried shrimp, and my boyfriend got the fish and chips. Both of us enjoyed our meals, but I have to give a special shout out to my side of mac & cheese. This can be iffy at most restaurants, as you never know if it's going to be dry from being under a warming oven in the kitchen. This was probably the best side of mac & cheese I've ever gotten in any restaurant! It was moist and delicious!! The parking lot at Miller's isn't large, but we were lucky to get a spot. It is also well located on the seawall, so it is only a short walk to other shops and attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed our birthday celebration at Miiller's!

Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. We waited over an hour to be seated, and our…read morewaitress was not very pleasant--she may have had a long shift before getting to us, (it was 12:30pm on a Sunday) but it definitely showed with her short snappy and impatient comments and behavior. The food was extremely bland. Nothing we ordered had seasoning or any flavor. Husband and I had the lump crab Benedict with scalloped potatoes, which turned out to be large chunks of potato with melted cheese on top and mushy cakes with no seasoning. The Gouda grits were just plain grits with a slice of cheese laid on top--very underwhelming. The house-made sangria was subpar, though I did enjoy the fruit chunks. The restaurant itself is cute, but it's very small with limited seating. Overall, the experience did not match the price, and we left very disappointed.

Your order is placed at the counter, and the drinks are self-served. You can choose to either sit inside or outside in their picnic area. There are so many options to choose from on their menu, and you won't be disappointed with whatever you end up getting. I absolutely love their fried catfish, which are always light, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. I also really love their fried shrimps, boudin, shrimp gumbo, boiled shrimps, and more. During my most recent visit, I went with the order of the create a platter for their fried shrimps, fried catfish, hush puppies, and 2 sides, and the a la carte order of their boudin balls. Everything was amazing as always.

The service isn't that of your regular sit down restaurant. This place is more of the "walk up to the counter to order and do everything yourself". Not the most friendly staff, but not rude either. We also got the fried shrimp as part of their pick 2 platter. It was good, but nothing special. The sides were fine as well. We also ordered boudin balls a la carte, and those were flavorful and crispy. The fried catfish really was the star of the show and good enough for me to overlook everything else.

After reading multiple reviews and comparing it to other local seafood restaurants in Galveston, we knew we had to go. We were seated with my Service dog, no problem. Mike immediately came and delivered water. It was hot outside. The decor is inviting and the bar area looked well stocked. We began with cocktails xtra Dirty Martini with hand stuffed blue cheese olives and for my husband a Maker's Mark bourbon . This gave us time to look over this incredible menu! Seafood is what we came for so we ordered 2 sharable items: soy, ginger octopus on crispy wonton and roasted beat walnut and fried goat cheese salad. We could have stopped there completely wowed. Both if us love Texas Redfish and it's so hard to get fresh seafood where we live so that caught our eyes. Husband ordered blackened and redfish over mushroom risotto and French style green beans. I could not resist a similar item blackened redfish over mushroom risotto and asparagus. We both were over the moon with the meaty blackened redfish FLAVORS! Risotto was perfectly cooked al dente and both veg choices were the perfect accompaniment! Honestly it had been a ling time since we had such a beautiful meal. Service was outstanding and he even picked up on a comment by my husband encouraging me to order whatever I wanted given it was a birthday dinner. So I was completely delighted when Mike showed up with the final surprise a Creamy NY style cheesecake. So I guess what I'm trying to say is this place was outstanding. You could not go wrong with a decision to have a great experience and upscale seafood meal at BLVD SEAFOOD.

The SeaFood platter seemed smaller, but still packed quality fried seafood and nobody left unsatisfied or hungry. Two big catfish fillets, beer batter cod, best Coconut Shrimp I've ever eaten, bacon wrapped shrimp with waffle fries and subbed Coconut rice. The hush puppies were great!

Walking in, you order at the counter and then can choose seating either on the ground floor or the second story which features an outdoor balcony. The balcony has wiring to combat the variety of birds flocking to the area. We ordered the Crispy Baja tacos and Diablo shrimp tacos. Both came with a side of chips and salsa. The serving size was generous! However, flavor was lacking for both plates. In the Crispy Baja tacos, the thick, battered fish easily overwhelmed the fresh salsa and slaw. Overall, I recommend this place for the gorgeous view and suggest skipping the fish tacos for burgers and drinks.
