Server (Lillian) was very polite and attentive. Food was well prepared and tasted great!

Jose was a great host! Food was amazing and came out in a timely manner. I definitely recommend this place. 10/10

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

We absolutely love this place! My family and I have been coming here since we were younger, and it has always been one of our favorite spots. The views are beautiful, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the food is always delicious. What really made our visit special was our server, Keelan. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and provided outstanding service throughout our meal. He made us feel welcomed and took great care of us from start to finish. We always enjoy our time at Fisherman's Wharf and look forward to coming back again. Highly recommend! read more

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 first visit was a great experience! Marcus was incredibly welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The patio offers a beautiful view, the food was absolutely delicious, and it was a nice bonus that they validate parking. We enjoyed everything so much that we'll definitely be back later this week to celebrate our anniversary! 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

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

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

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

Her warm personality and excellent service made the experience even more memorable. Thank you, Lillian, for helping make our anniversary amazing! read more

Ended up getting the fish and chips we weren't disappointed. Everything came out fresh and hot! We also got some of the onion strings and jalapeños (not pictured) and they were a group hit! Our server was on top of everything and made sure that we had everything we needed and checked in on us multiple times. Being able to sit on the dock and look out at the Elissa was also very awesome! read more

Fisherman's Wharf - So good and great food!!! - Seafood Near Me - Galveston, Texas

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

We normally eat at less expensive restaurants in the Galveston area.Pier 6, Top water grill, and some others around San Leon. So we decided to go more expensive for a change and went to Fisherman's Wharf. It was disappointing how small the portions were. I had fried shrimp and they are tiny. The fries were limp and soft. The wife had the grilled red snapper and she said it was good. As it should be for 42 dollars. The service was good. The view was pretty good of the bay. We would not go back because the value jut isn't there. read more

Seafood story follow up :) Service and atmosphere: Another visit another great experience. Service was excellent! Atmosphere was very good in this clean and well located restaurant. Food and drinks: Kudos to our server who brought us warm bread with butter to snack on even though we didn't order it. That was a very nice gesture! Tasty food and good drinks all around after that. Food was well presented and well cooked. The flavours and seasonings were spot on. Pricing: $$/$ - dinner for two with drinks (no appetiser nor dessert) came to $100. read more

We decided the give Fisherman's Wharf a try with our party of 8. I assumed the food would be great since the ratings were very good. Unfortunately, we were not pleased with the food. The Lobster Bisque tasted like a can of tomato soup with a few sprinkles of crab in it. My husband and I purchased a seafood platter but you received very little food for the price. The food was sub-par for the price we paid. The hard dinner rolls were not good either. The pasta was sub-par. The only think that tasted decent was the catfish platter. Our waiter was nice and the service was great but the food, not so much! 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

First time visiting Galveston from Seattle. That being said, my seafood radar was in full swing. Had a great Old Fashioned at the bar before we got a great seat out on the pier. Had shrimp cocktail and clam chowder to start off and a mixed grill for dinner. Real key lime pie (yellow- LEGIT) for dessert. LILLIAN WAS AWESOME! Much appreciation for the suggestions for the meal. I'll be back the next time I'm in the Lone Star State. read more

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

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 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

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

The food here is very mid. Only come here for the view or the ambience, but you can get better seafood elsewhere.

My sisters and caregiver took my elderly mother who is in a wheelchair to Fisherman's Wharf this past Monday. They are wheelchair accessible which is great! They gave us the best table in the restaurant which was upstairs with a million-dollar view! We had the best server we could have ever had named Miranda who took such great care of us the entire time!! She was spectacular! She went above and beyond for all of us! She was sweet, helpful, wonderful, patient and just made our visit that much more special. All of the food we ordered: fish and chips, Ahi Tuna Salad, Shrimp Po-boy, and Parmesan Redfish were all absolutely delicious! Everything tasted so fresh and it all came out piping hot - which I always appreciate. We had a pretty pink mocktail with dragon fruit that was so good and I wish I remembered the name of it. My mom loved all of her food too and she was so happy which made all of us so happy. Our day was so awesome because of Fisherman's Wharf and we can't wait to return! read more
