Evan provided outstanding service during our visit to Fisherman's Wharf. He was incredibly attentive, consistently checking in without ever being intrusive. His respectful and polite demeanor made our dining experience feel genuinely welcoming. It's clear he takes pride in his work, and it absolutely shows. We truly appreciated his care and professionalism. The Stephensons from Orangefield read more

Great evening! Our server Chrissy was excellent and attended to our every ask. Smiling and joyful she was super. We had the grilled red snapper with a top that was super. The place was really interesting, on the waterfront, and seated at a large window able to observe. read more

What an incredible experience! The Shrimp Kisses were absolutely amazing--perfectly crispy on the outside, packed with flavor, and a great way to start the meal. The Bourbon Street Pasta was rich, delicious, and incredibly filling. Every bite was worth it. But the real star of the meal was the bread pudding. It was hands down one of the best desserts I've ever had--warm, rich, and absolutely out of this world. The service was just as impressive. Since it was our first time visiting and we weren't from the area, the staff took the time to explain the menu, answer our questions, and make sure we had a great experience. The atmosphere really tied everything together. Sitting outside by the water with boats all around made for an amazing dining experience, and the entire nautical theme gave the restaurant so much character. Between the outstanding food, excellent service, and unbeatable waterfront views, this place is an easy 10/10. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area! read more

Feels like one of those places that reels you in with the setting before you even sit down. The harbor view is great -- ships, tug boats, constant movement -- and the entrance is genuinely beautiful with palms and a wood deck that makes for a perfect group photo while everyone is still smiling. After the meal, probably not. Unless you're smiling because of what they just got away with. Inside, you're greeted by fresh fish on ice and a menu full of fresh options, which would be reassuring if it weren't for the empty box of frozen fish fillets we watched blow out of the restaurant's nearby dumpster on a gusty day. Hard to ignore that contrast once you've seen it. If you're determined to go, save yourself and your money and stick to the bar area. Fresh oysters, peel‑and‑eat shrimp, a drink -- those should actually be fresh, and you get the harbor view without committing to the rest. As someone who has left several Landry's reviews lately -- most of them not glowing -- I'm expecting the usual automated corporate response. Consider this my official notice that I don't need the link, the script, or the polite boilerplate. read more

Fisherman's Wharf - Blew Out of Their Dumpster - Seafood Near Me - Galveston, Texas

The food was subpar. I had ordered the surf and turf for my anniversary dinner. The wagyu steak was over salted and i had to take a drink of water after every bite. The lobster tail was on the verge of being overcooked. Some bites were tender where other were a bit rubbery. The loaded baked potato was barely cooked enough. There were still a few areas that were slightly raw. The "shrimp kisses" were overly greasy and had 0 jalapeño flavor. The only good thing about the meal was the lemonade. For a dinner costing $86 i expected way more. The ambiance of the restaurant was basic. Nothing special that set it apart from any other restaurant out on the pier. The service was ok, though i feel that it could have been better. Then young lady didnt introduce herself, and only checked on me 1 time during the 1.5 hrs that i was there. read more

Being a Landry club's member has its perks! We made reservations, and upon arrival were assigned a table immediately. The waiter staff were great, very accommodating. He offered the chef special, and my husband had no regrets. The food was fast on delivery and it was hot and fresh. Can't ask for more than that. I thought the spinach was fantastic. I would get that as a side for myself. The Shrimp kisses were absolutely delicious and very filling. I ate mine as the main course as it came with a side of onion rings. The parking validation was more than enough time to finish the meal with no rush-or extra fees. We didn't realize what we were missing, but we will back. read more

Fisherman's was highly recommended to us while on a work trip. There is a lovely view of the ocean from their dining room and the server worked hard to take care of our large group. We enjoyed some awesome oysters and I personally went for their fresh fish menu. All of their food was great and I also enjoyed a drink from their nonalcoholic selections. I would certainly recommend a visit! read more

Great food and good service from staff. Highly recommend this restaurant for wonderful seafood .

I'm in Galveston for the first time. Check Yelp. Best seafood in the area? Forget the recommendations from the hotel and the bartenders at the nearby bar - let's go with the 4-star place! This was NOT a good meal. We were told we needed to wait an hour on a Saturday night. Which means they don't really need to care about my review. We sat at the bar to have a cocktail while we waited, and the bar said it was a full-service bar so we could eat there. We cancelled our place in line and ordered our food. The char-grilled oysters were bad. Chewy to the point of being hard to eat - I chewed some like a dog chewing a piece of fat, and then threw them out. The breading on them fell apart with a tap from the fork. This should be a dish that's luxurious, with a goop that stays goop as I eat it - not a crust that dries up and falls apart. I have eaten char-grilled oysters in New Orleans - and this was a very sad approximation of them. The main dish (red snapper) was good, preventing this from being a 1-star review. The crab topper for an extra $9 (bringing the dish to over $48) was dry, despite being advertised as being bathed in lemon beurre blanc. They charged me $3 to upgrade from broccoli and cauliflower to their "famous" fried Brussels sprouts. The sprouts were pretty bad. They were full of stems. I make sprouts at home all the time - you trim the inedible parts of them and just serve the tender, edible parts of them. The chef here never got that message. I have pictures of half my sprouts being not-trimmed. It was a heck of a job spending time trimming them with the dull butter knife I had. The drinks we got at the bar were made correctly, tasty, and appropriate strength, so the bartenders also saved this from a 1-star review. There was a minor flood going on near the floor due to some kind of pipe leak. Maintenance here is not keeping up with a place that has a 1-hour wait on a weekend night. This is a tourist trap. DO NOT VISIT - there are 3-4 other places we had been suggested to visit, but Yelp unfortunately steered us wrong and I wouldn't return here when I return to lovely Galveston for a future vacation. read more

Our visit to Fisherman's Wharf included a couple of food preparation issues, such as receiving the wrong shrimp order and untrimmed broccoli, which resulted in me choosing not to eat the vegetables. However, our server Tyrell was excellent--attentive, accommodating, and genuinely focused on ensuring we had a positive experience--and the manager also checked in personally to help address the situation. While the broccoli issues were disappointing, the rest of the food was delicious. The professionalism and responsiveness of the staff helped turn the experience into a positive one and are worth recognizing. Great job, Tyrell!!!! read more

Birthday dinner with my lovely wife, and our first time in Galveston, after an awesome day I chose Fisherman's Wharf, and it was definitely a treat. You have the choice to be seated outside. We had the half dozen oysters for our appetizer, loved the clean fresh flavor, and we were served fresh warm rolls as we waited for entrees, I had the Fisherman's seafood platter, the grilled shrimp was great, plump and grilled perfectly, the flounder was moist and well seasoned. My wife had the steamed Lobster and this was steamed to perfection, really delicious. The ambience is relaxing, a sit and enjoy a great meal while taking in the scenery. Really enjoyed and will definitely recommend. read more

We came here due to the reviews online. We got a nice window seating. The service was ok. The fries were bland and not hot. The gumbo was good. The fish and chips was more batter than fish. The stuffed flounder was great. The veggies were unseasoned. Grilled oysters were decent. Calamari was the highlight for me, nice and crispy. read more

Keenan was a fabulous server! Professional, attentive and knowledgeable and handled our big crowd graciously!! Food was excellent!

Service was horrible. We had a party 19 and they made us sit for 2hrs until food came out. Asked for manager once which was pointless and when we asked for the manager again to cancel our orders, she never came back and then the food came out. Would never recommend this place. Staff is not professional either. Would give it a negative if I could. read more

Other than a short wait, our service was impeccable! We chose to sit indoors because it was warm outdoors. They sat us upstairs in a room overlooking the harbor and it was really nice. The food was delectable! I cannot say enough about my platter!! Definitely recommend! read more

We had a great experience at Fisherman's Wharf! Our server, Hector, was incredibly friendly, made us feel very welcome throughout the meal. We came craving oysters, and they definitely did not disappoint--they were large and fresh. We were seated at a table right by the Gulf, with a beautiful waterfront view. There was a massive cruise ship docked right in front of us, which made for a really unique and fun dining atmosphere. Great food, great service, and a fantastic view. We'd definitely come back! read more

6/13/2026 - Our first time here. They don't take yelp or phone reservations. They have a greeter out front and will ask how many persons for the rsvp and will text you when ready. We arrived at 2pm, for a party of 6 it was a 45 minute wait. It actually turned out to be ready in 25 minutes. We opted to sit inside for the AC, brutal humidity. Don't sit outside. We ordered the following, Bowl Gumbo, Galveston Trio, Cup Lobster Bisque and Shrimp PoBoy friends ordered the shrimp kisses and a fish taco. Everything was great. All the food arrived out in 15-20 minutes. Fast service. All the food was excellent, hot and yummy!. I would suggest to split the shrimp poboy, to large for one person. Get a cup of the soup instead of a bowl. Share all the food. Don't order as a full meal. The shrimp kisses don't have much jalapeno inside. LOL, I left my credit card at the bar by accident and an hour later I knew it was gone. Called the bar and the manager had it saved for me! I'm so lucky. Check out photos. 5 stars. I would give the manager 5 stars as well. A lost card would have ruined my trip. Erica from Cali here before a cruise! I would come here again. read more

I stopped by here last night with my family for dinner. I had been out with the twins at the beach, and when I came back my wife said she wanted to order from Fisherman's Wharf. She pulled up a menu and placed the order by phone. When we arrived, I jumped out to get the food, which was ready and sitting at the corner of the bar. The inside of this place looked a little swankier than most of the restaurants I had been to in Galveston, and all three bartenders were super busy making drinks for the Friday night crowd. Eventually one came over to help me, and I was quickly on my way. For dinner that evening, I went with the fried flounder sandwich while both my wife and mother-in-law chose the lobster and crawfish pasta. My entrée was described as coming with lettuce, tomato, red onion, coleslaw, pickles, and tartar sauce, while my wife's was described as Maine lobster, crawfish tails, penne pasta, sweet lobster cream sauce, parmesan, and mozzarella cheese. The fish on my sandwich was fried nicely, and while I couldn't really tell what fish it was (can you ever, really?) it tasted good enough. The bun was toasted, and the coleslaw and tartar sauce added some nice flavors and moisture to the sandwich. The fries were well seasoned and tasted good, even if they were a little soggy by the time I got to them. Both my wife and mother-in-law enjoyed their pastas, and they both appreciated the amount of lobster. The bottom line for me is that I might stop by here again in the future. Our food was solid, though a bit on the expensive side, and while I'd certainly eat here again in the restaurant, I don't know that I'd do takeout again. read more

Most of the food was just okay. The clam chowder was really good though. The outdoor seating was pretty neat, you can see the water and the ships in the distance. The service was a bit sub par. Our server seemed like she rushed our order and got our drinks wrong. And both times the drinks came pretty slow. But could have been a 4th of July rush. There is 3 hr parking validation which is nice. read more

The flounder sandwich was amazing! Chrissy was a great waitress! Everything we had was one of the best things we've eaten all weekend.

The food and the local beer we got were pretty good. The front staff were really nice. We got our parking validated as we arrived. The outside space was really nice, it was pleasant to see some boats passing. Not too loud, just a right amount of noise to comfortably have a conversation. The service at the table left a lot to be desired though. Our server did not know her beers and then brought two tea based drinks instead of the beers we ordered (the names of the beverages were similar, but I wouldn't hurt to double check if in doubt). We had to ask another server for the correct drinks because we couldn't find our server. Overall not very attentive. We were not offered a dessert when we finished the entree, just the check. read more

We sat outside on their extensive patio. Very nice location with a port view of the cruise ships and several working boats. The Elissa, a working tall ship, is docked right next door. We watched the Carnival Cruise ship shove off while we had cocktails. The establishment does a great job of bird mitigation, which is impressive while sitting outside. Anyone who has eaten outside by the bay knows the birds are a nuisance and shameless as they actively trying and steal your food. I had a Bloody Mary which was very good. We ordered fried jalapeños and onion rings, very flavorful. I also ordered the baked Red Fish which came with rice pilaf and fresh seasonal vegetables. The fish was extremely well prepared and succulent. I ordered the Elissa as an accompaniment which was lump crab meat with blistered tomatoes and artichoke hearts. I highly recommend this. We were too full for dessert, but if it was anything like the entrees then they would had been worth it. The service was fantastic. read more

Fisherman's Wharf - Grilled shrimp. Ho-hum on that day - Seafood Near Me - Galveston, Texas

Oh my. How disappointing tonight's dinner was. The only saving grace was our waitress, Andrea, who was exceptionally attentive. Shrimp cocktail had small shrimps, lobster bisque was broken (ie coddled, not smooth) and nearly every bit of crab was tasteless and had pieces of shell. The crab cake was more bread, onion and celery than crab. Def not lump crab. It was topped with more crab, which would have been ok but again filled with shells and no seasoning. The side of potatoes was so heavily seasoned and salted that it irritated my tongue! The snapper was properly cooked. The Elissa sauce was ok but again, the crab had shells and the artichoke hearts were chewy. If you must dine on the harbor, there are many better choices, including Willie G's next door. It's owned by Landry's as well, but they seem to execute much better. Despite a nice view and dog friendly patio, we won't be back. read more

Lilian is a great server and they serve really good boiled shrimp and lobster bisque.

This was our first time to try Fisherman's Wharf.  It was a bit less formal-looking inside than the other two places where we ate earlier in the week.  Both types of settings are desirable, but it was nice to have a bit more casual atmosphere at Fisherman's Wharf, since we had been out walking all day and weren't exactly spiffed up for a more formal place. The menu was good and food was well-prepared.  We had a great view of the water from our table.  But the best part was our server.  Alexander was the best possible combination of efficiency and professionalism along with warm friendliness.  We left, feeling as if he had become one of our friends.  That goes a long way in adding value for the customer.  Thanks, Alexander! read more

Lillian was absolutely outstanding! We had a large group, and she told us we were her very first big top and you never would have known it. She was efficient, attentive, and gave us truly excellent service from beginning to end. She listened to us, connected with our family, and somehow managed to keep everything running smoothly while still making us feel like she genuinely cared. The food was excellent, but Lillian made the experience even better. And then, to top it all off, she took the most amazing pictures of our family! Not the usual rushed restaurant photos either...she actually cared and captured such a special memory for us. Lillian, you absolutely nailed your first big top! Fisherman's Wharf is lucky to have you. We will definitely be back! read more
