    Loaded Landshark
    Heather M.

    Welcoming and friendly staff, with timely service; the server checked on us just enough which is always appreciated. The food was delicious. I dove directly into my coconut shrimp and forgot to take a photo. I actually finished the plate which is a major rarity for me. I also tried the hush puppies and cilantro lime rice (with COCONUT!)... both of which are the best I've had in this entire area. The hush puppies have the perfect amount of jalapeño in them. For drinks, I had a loaded landshark (always refreshing and lovely) and a frozen house margarita. Yum! The only thing I'd recommend they improve upon is the indoor chair material. Fabric is never a good option, especially in a kid-friendly place. While comfortable, it's not worth the messes that get stuck to them. I had to switch chairs around and settle for the least dirty one. It's not a good look and no one wants to sit atop another person's spill.

    To start the staff was friendly and sat my GF and I quickly. We were escorted to an outside table kinda overlooking the concert venue. The server came quickly enough and brought waters. The GF and I ordered chips and salsa and Casio dip The chips had to have been from the bottom of the bag, the chips were literally chips from chips. The cheese queso and salsa was just ok.. The Gf and I ordered the seafood platter and margaritas The drinks were decent. The food when It came was NOT GOOD! The shrimp was rotten tasting and I made the manager aware. He replaced the plate with a fresh plate, but the shrimp on the new plate was also rotten tasting as the first! I did not eat it... Unfortunately this place is over rated and serves poor tasting food, seemingly from a bag. NOT FRESH FOOD.

    Loved our meals at Fins! We're staying here at Camp Margaritaville for an RV rally. One evening, we decided to eat at Fins with another couple. We met on the early side of the evening and were seated right away. Our server was super nice and very helpful. We ordered drinks and later ordered our meals. The drinks were tasty. I ordered the Fried Seafood Platter. It was very good and had a lot of seafood on it. I ate less than half of it and took the rest home for dinner the next night. My wife ordered Fish Tacos and felt they were "okay" - not extraordinary. She too took half her meal home to eat the next day. I also want to add that we rode up the elevator with the Food and Beverage Manager and he was quite pleasant. In fact, every employee we met at Fin's greeted us warmly and were quite cheery. We'll eat at Fin's next year when we return.

    Fins Bar had a pretty rough night when we visited . The staff were friendly but clearly stressed, and the poor server needed some backup. Kudos to the manager for stepping in and trying to make things right. Now, onto the nitty-gritty: the cushions were pretty gross, with stains and trash - not exactly what you want when you're trying to chill. Drinks were a bit strong, but hey, at least they were good!

    It's Tuesday afternoon. Nauti Beaver Hut and Stingaree we're both closed. However Finn's bar and grill was open. Worth the effort. You do have to park near the front of the complex in the gravel parking lot, but then they had a guy give us a ride in the golf cart to the restaurant and back out to our car afterwards. If you want to walk it's about 5 minutes. Drinks were good, pretzel and cheese was excellent. Shrimp tacos were excellent. Place has been open for about three years but looks like it just opened. Service from Tyler was excellent. She was so gracious. I can't recommend this place enough. Perfect ambiance and a place to eat, drink and relax. To the other places not open, your loss.

    Fish & fries

    I ordered food around 8:15, knowing it was close to closing, and even mentioned that when I called. I was told not to worry because the kitchen didn't close until 9 PM. Unfortunately, I wish I had. The food was terrible. The fish was disintegrated -- half burnt and the other half still raw. The fries were covered in salt, and the "catch of the day" (which I don't have photos of) was so dry my husband couldn't even eat it. As a chef and restaurant consultant, I could tell this food was made as the kitchen was shutting down, forgotten about, and rushed out the door. For the price point and the Margaritaville name, I expected so much more. We basically spent our money, wasted our time, and still ended up hungry. With everything else closed on the island, we were just out of luck. Really disappointing experience.

    Food was good but wish there were more options to choose from. Drinks were good but took awhile to receive after ordering. Restaurant is clean and staff is friendly.

I chose regular fries. There were NO seagulls this time to feed my leftovers to. (Sad face) So we arrived at 4pm Drinks delivered at 4:20 Meals at 4:30 The LSU game was on so we were not in a rush.

A true Tex-Mex restaurant typically serves complimentary chips and salsa, but that wasn't the case here. The nachos were simply a pile of chips covered with canned nacho cheese sauce instead of individually layered chips topped with beans, cheese, and jalapeños. Honestly, the food at Pancho's was better, which says a lot about the level of quality here. The Cajun dishes were somewhat better, but they still didn't compare to restaurants like Pappadeaux or Landry's. They likely stay busy because they're the only option in the Bolivar Peninsula/Crystal Beach area. The atmosphere and service were the highlights of the visit. Unfortunately, the overpriced menu resulted in a hefty bill that left us feeling underwhelmed and unsatisfied. There's plenty of room for improvement, and I hope the owners from Beaumont make some upgrades to better match the quality their menu promises.

My wife ordered the fried pickles, and while fried pickles are pretty much the same no matter where you try them, they indeed hit the spot here. We ordered our son some chicken tenders and fries, which I was happy to steal a few bites of, despite it being pretty typical. You can't throw chicken tenders in my face and expect me not to indulge. Lastly, we finished with a lobster roll. And while we prefer the Connecticut style lobster rolls (hot with butter), this New England style version was pretty enjoyable too. Our server was super friendly and treated us like we were old pals. It was a nice way to start off our Galveston adventure.
