Food here is excellent Service is also excellent. Ambiance us shabby chic. Food out weighs everything. Great senior meal prices too. read more

The good friendly service The bad everything else was mid. Nothing was bad, but the food was only okay, both pastas were excessively buttery and oily and still bland. The ambience its self was weird as the restaurant itself was clearly built to be a German medieval pub style restaurant and everything looked and felt old, tired, and touches dirty. None of these things were awful or dealbreakers by them selves, but just stacked up for a very mid meal and dinner experience read more

After trying the Buffalo Gap location of Galveston Seafood Company, we decided to check out their Highway 80 spot and overall, it was a good experience! We made a reservation online and showed up about 10 minutes early. Even on a busy night, they seated us right on time, which was a great start. We ordered the gator bites for an appetizer, and they were really good. The only downside was that the extra plates our server brought out were all dirty, which was definitely disappointing. For my meal, I had the stuffed catfish, and it was amazing! It was flavorful and came with mashed potatoes and boudin. My daughter ordered the kids mac n cheese with fries. The mac n cheese tasted almost like a cheesy Alfredo-style sauce, and it was actually really good! Overall, the food was great and we'd definitely go back. just wish the plate situation had been better. read more

After a round of golf we decided to find a place for dinner. Looked at Yelp for some reviews and found GSC. Reservations were a good move because when our party of 6 arrived the lobby was slammed. We were seated a few minutes after our 645 pm reservation. The wait staff was great and welcoming. The menu was pretty large with a of of choices for apps, entrees, sides and desserts. Our party ordered the jalapeño poppers, loaded fries, ribeye, blackened redfish ponchetrain x 2, and Seafood Chile Relleno read more

I do not know if they have a location in Galveston, but the food is unique and excellent here. I've had three meals here this week while working in town the portions are large, the seafood gumbo and crawfish etouffee were both excellent soups,,,i ordered a cup each time but they are served in a small square bowl. It's a lot to eat. My third trip was a side salad in the same bowl. Tonight i tried the catfish on white rice with etouffee gravy and 3 shrimp. I had the seafood stuffed chile relleno Tuesday and another catfish and shrimp plate on Sunday. All excellent while i have no kitchen while working out of town... read more

This place is awesome! Starting with Peyton, our precious waitress, our visit was wonderful. We started with the gator bites for appetizers, then had the fried catfish with remoulade (her) and the blackened redfish with collards (me). And those collards; I'd go back just for another bowl of those! Peyton learned it was our first visit to Abilene (and our anniversary!), and treated us to dessert. Needless to say, we left full and very glad we chose to visit Galveston Seafood. read more

5 days before Father's day we reserved a table. When we got there it was stifling hot inside. We found out from the waitress the AC was broken and other reviews support this. She waved me off and said I'll get a manager in less than a minute the hostess came over representing herself as a manager. I asked her WHY y'all are not telling people who makes a reservation that the AC is not working at all just ceiling fans it had to be 110 with no air circulation. I did tell what I thought the manager then witnessed cockroaches and just over all nastiness. The owner ROB came from the kitchen sweaty, crazy eyed and my thought he looks intoxicated. He asked what was wrong and I told him his waitress was being a rude heifer WHY aren't you telling people when they make reservation that the AC is OUT or put a sign on the door his response GET THE F-CK out of my restaurant and that set him off and he set me off. My large group already started walking out but despite this he followed me out ( with the 3 other people with him all yelling get the F--- out of my restaurant like they all owned it. The 3-4 people followed me out cussing. Wow when the only question was all due to filthyness, cockroaches and a inferno inside in June. We didn't eat the food so I can't judge that. After we left our group had to go and stand in line for an hour at another restaurant we actually ended up getting a discount because what we went through. My question is WHY would you put your employees through working in extreme heat to turn a buck. It doesn't seem like a unreasonable request to ask to be informed about NO AC. The owner will not take responsibility for a filthy building, the cockroaches or the AC being out. Has had many of his friends complain about my review. We had 13 people in our group and every single one of them were extremely upset by the response of the owner. He uses him being a vet to draw in customers but he doesn't act like a veteran. We had 2 elderly gentleman that were also veterans thats why we choose to eat there but in actually he's using his time in the military to scrape up business. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. If he put as much effort into his Restaurant as he has put in trying to get the reviews taken down it might be a more profitable Restaurant. read more

Worth another update! I finished my meal and thought that was incredible! I still can't fathom that there is such great seafood in Abilene, Texas! This food was somehow fresher than the meals I had on a recent trip to Port A! The crab cakes are delicious. Quality and Quantity here.. just phenomenal! The AC seemed to be broken the day we decided to come here for dinner, but the food made the dining experience worth it! I think that says a lot in itself. Our waitress went above and beyond! Wonderful service. Can't recommend Galveston Seafood Company enough. It looks unassuming on the outside, but you're in for a solid meal! You'll come back for more. read more

Super inconsistent. Sometimes we eat there and it's outstanding - and other times it's really bordering on awful. Not sure if it's just a difference in cooks or what but it really is quite a difference from day-to-day and week to week. Today I ordered my usual shrimp Poboy and it was terrible. The shrimp was way overcooked and so chewy, I couldn't even eat it. And the crabcake didn't have the little accoutrements and sauce on top like it usually does. ?? Very hit or miss. read more

Service is excellent and the fried catfish can't be beat anywhere.The only reason I did not rate it 5 is the run down condition of the facilities. It REALLY needs a serious upgrade. But the food cannot be beat! read more

Restaurant was nasty saw roaches and wait staff rude. The best part they are cooking seafood with no Air Conditioner at all in 100+ weather Sweat is pouring off the cooks and staff and customers. I hope that the sweat doesn't get on people's food. We can't fight off the roaches or the 110 degrees in the building with only I would rather eat fish sticks from the freezer. I wonder were the health department is saw where several people got food poisoning and found a dead roach frozen in the ice. Nope nope nope. I've seen reviews for them also having rats. We really wanted to love it because the owner was a veteran. Sorry buddy your on your own. Ick read more

We had the seafood platter (fried catfish & shrimp) and the fried shrimp po'boy. The catfish was light and crispy, fried to perfection. The po'boy was so loaded, it was impossible to eat it as a sandwich (I tried). It was so delicious though. Bite sized shrimp with just the right amount of batter and lightly fried. The sauce gave it the perfect flavor and the veggies were fresh. The sides for our dishes were hush puppies, greens, and fries. All had good flavor. read more

We stopped in 30 minutes before closing after being in town for a softball game. What a GEM this place was!! The food was fabulous. The service was wonderful. We will absolutely stop in whenever we are in Abilene! read more

Great Senior lunch special! We've enjoyed the grilled shrimp and the fried shrimp! The bread pudding is great too!

We ate here the night before flying out of Abilene airport. We ordered probably over half of the menu. Most of it was delicious and hearty. It reminded me of the kind of food that you would get in Louisiana. Leland was an exceptional server. He served us as well as a party of 16 on the other end of the restaurant but we still felt well taken care of. If we come back, we will definitely try to see him again! read more

As soon as we walked in the hostess was rude. We had made a reservation and she loudly said we didn't have one that it would be 45 min wait. (There were over 10 empty tables) When we confirmed the number and address we called from yelp she went to the back and spoke to someone and magically figured out we had a reservation. She could have checked first before making everyone stare at us. The food was ehh.. nothing special. Felt dark I could hardly see my menu. Only reason they got 2 stars is because our server was sweet as pie! I wish I remembered her name but I was so annoyed by the hostess and the rude/vulgar guys they sat us by that I don't remember the waitress's name. read more

Ok, we like Galveston Seafood so much, here's another update. Here lately, this place has really impressed me. The senior menu is great for a lighter meal, and I see lots of seniors here. It even includes dessert! The lunch menu has a lot of variety and good prices. But my go to lately is the daily specials. Different every day and priced right, the specials are really good! I've done the hamburger steak and the chicken fried pork steak. Both are excellent, and come with 2 sides. Next I want to try the New York strip and the smothered pork chops. With a different special every day, you could come 7 days a week! The staff is always wonderful, and my compliments to the kitchen. See you soon! read more

Great food, HUGE proportions!!! Wish I remembered who served us, but she was great! We went on NYE, they were open and busy, but food was still very good, ambiance was good, all in all for our business trips to Abilene, one of my favorite places to go! read more

We have eaten here several times. The food is amazing, to begin with. The gator...delicious! The grilled shrimp...fantastic. But today. Today stole the show! My daughter had her gall bladder removed and cannot digest Soy bean oil, without severe agony. I contacted them, via Facebook hoping they could tell me what oil they use. They replied. First response was they use vegetable oil. I was happy to hear that. We had a reservation for this morning. Then, within minutes, a compete apology that while they do use vegetable oil, their vendor was delayed until Weds. So they would be using soybean oil. They offered to grill or blacken whatever we wanted. But, of course, we opted to simply go another day! Full transparency and honesty and it does NOT get better than that! If you've never seen this pain, it's awful and horrible to watch! I'm so grateful they contacted me with clarification! Cannot wait until the weekend! read more

The blacked redfish meal called The Cajun was really good! Season well and good balance of textures! Interior decor didn't scream "seafood" but either way I'll definitely come back and try few other items! read more

The food at Galveston was great. Portions were huge we had left overs. Its a great time if younever been there you should try it.

Excellent and fresh food. Make sure to BYOB. They don't serve alcohol. We had boils, steaks, and pastas and all were great.

Stopped here on our way through town because of the reviews. Our daughter almost talked us out of stopping when we pulled into the parking lot because the building is unremarkable but we are all so glad we came! Hubby and I ordered the senior meal with two catfish fillets and he had Cole slaw and I had fries. The catfish was delicious and served hot and crispy. The homemade roumalade sauce was a great addition. Our daughter ordered the salad off of the lunch menu u with blackened salmon. She was very impressed with the freshness and serving size of the salmon. We will definitely stop here again if we come through Abilene. read more

Nice owner, The food taste like farm raised products. Not wild caught like someone would want to put into there body. It's fried in seed oil thats bad for you. The owner has done a great job with Facebook, his sides are good for stuff out of a can he doctors up. Fresh fish in Abilene is hard to find because of location. But he could buy the wild caught for taste alone and people would be healthier and enjoy the taste of it, instead of all the chemicals put into "Farm Raised " read more

Love this restaurant not just for the food but for the hard working owner Rob who is dedicated to customer service and always complements his staff and lets his customers know how much he appreciates their business !!! The food is always top tier and staff is always friendly and attentive !! If you haven't been then you are missing out on a great experience!!! Customer: Michael Cates read more

We were driving across the state on our way to the west coast. We stopped in looking for a good meal that was not fast food. We came in about 30mins before closing and we were greeted by the host and taken to our table. The restaurant furniture is a bit out dated and but clean. The service was great although we felt rushed as they were cleaning up all around us. The most important part of our visit was the food which was excellent. My father and I were very impressed by the taste of the food. If you are looking for some really good seafood in Abilene this is a great place to get some southern seafood! I would definitely go back again. read more

great service, it was quick. If you want any food on their menu, don't go. The fish was over cooked, food was over seasoned, bad environment, meh flavor. Ordered gumbo and they had no rice.

I went there with my wife tonight. She ordered the Cajun seafood pasta, and I ordered the Crab Lovers Boil with Dungeness crab. I asked for the crab to be served with garlic butter, but it came out with Cajun seasoning. I cannot eat spicy food, so I sent it back. They brought it back out about two minutes later, but as soon as I started eating it, my mouth was on fire. It was obvious that the crab had just been rinsed off and brought back out instead of being remade. When I mentioned it to the server again, they said they would remake it. Our server also told us the manager would come out and speak with us, but that never happened. Unless the lady who brought out my food the third time was the manager, no one identified themselves or said anything to me. I will say the food was good, and that is the only reason I am not leaving one star. Our server was very nice, but the kitchen service and management were terrible. read more

Restaurant building is old English styled, some of the kindest staff we've come across, food was very tasty, gumbo was maybe a little too salty read more

Went to the restaurant on Saturday. (Good news): It was crowded but I made reservations so we were seated immediately. My first thought was the place looked like it needed some cleaning. Our waitress was very pleasant. (Bad news): we ordered the gater bites and calamari for appetizers. Both dishes were very dry and tasteless. The lobster mac and cheese was good. The shrimp and grits looked nothing like they should have nor did it look anything like the photos on the website. It was terrible. We will not be going back! read more

Always good food. I recommend the boil plates and the chicken sandwich. Yum!!! But what makes this place amazing is the service. Justo is a shining star! He is always on top of his game, and he makes the atmosphere awesome. read more
