    The worst sandwich i've ever had

    Very disappointing experience. We waited an extremely long time for our food, even though the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. When the food finally arrived, it was cold, bland, and clearly not worth the wait. The quality did not match the prices, and the overall service felt disorganized. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst dining experiences I've had, and I won't be returning. DONT COME HERE, worst experience ever

    We shared a mushroom burger and an order of mushrooms. Both were divine. Great little local place across from the park on the water. Sorry devoured the burger before we got a pic.

    Beach Beer Beach Food is absolutely a must and this place was a great spot for a lunch. Family order burgers and fries and they were great

    Philly cheesesteak with onion rings, shrimp, basket, fried mushrooms

    Food is always great. This is always our first stop of the day when visiting Surfside we love the food. Philly cheesesteak is the best. It's a must have on the first day and last day. Wife got the shrimp basket really enjoyed it and the fried mushrooms are delicious.

    Fried Shrimp Basket
    Douglas A.

    I stopped in here for a late night dinner (at 9pm) after being at the beach and craved fried shrimp. Their fried shrimp basket came with 8 fried shrimp (the menu said 9), and a good portion of fries. The shrimp basket was only about $10. I ordered a Dr. Pepper which came in a can with a cup of ice, and the Dr. Pepper was $1. All in all, the meal was about $11, which was what I was looking for! Fried Shrimp and inexpensive! I would only deduct points for the menu saying 9 fried shrimp, but only receiving 8. But everything was tasty and good. I would definitely recommend.

    Jac and Scott really doing well together

    Went back for seconds and it was BETTER than the last. Hard to believe! Go for the YUENGLING

    Philly Cheese Steak
    Santa S.

    Best meal I have ever had at the beach . Philly cheesesteaks was hit and filled with meat. I only ate half but then got up in the night to finish it off. Could not stop thinking about it. I am an onion ring snob so these were ok but would have preferred hand made. Would order again. To go order.

    Had a little staycation in Galveston for NYE. We took the south route home and wanted some lunch…read more Belly's popped up on the map and it had great reviews so we stopped in SO WORTH IT! Their patio and views were amazing and so relaxing. The cutest restaurant indoor/outdoor. We also had our dog which they accommodated with some water. She also made friends with the sweet manager Erin (i think! Hopefully we got it right). Food was good and vibes were better. Will definitely be stopping by next time we are going to or coming from Galveston.

    Seems like a neat place, we must have just come at the wrong time of year. Sunny outside, but air…read morewas chilly and a bit windy. Our greeting when we came in was not the most friendly, woman behind the bar didn't even smile and mumbled something that I assume was our greeting. Our server, though nice, seemed very new and inexperienced. But she seemed to be nervously trying to do a good jobl My drink order never was what I ordered. I think there was confusion with the server and woman behind the bar. Our server didn't seem old enough to serve it to me, it was broght over by bar tender. It was pricey for not ever really getting what I requested. The day we were there, they had one of the garage doors open and the front door as well. It was so cold in there, we almost left to go elsewhere as I suspected the food would be cold before it got to the table to be eaten. After our 2nd request, they finally closed the one garage door,, but was still a bit chilly. Then they told us they just put the heater on. (the heater helped but have entry door open to bring food in from food trailer) We didn't realize the food was made in an outside trailer and walked inside. I got the crawfish tail ? Ettofee baked potato ? Ettofee sp?. Although The potato was well baked, and the sauce was Very good, there was only 4 or 5 very small crawfish tails on it. I ended up taking it home with me as it just wouldn't stay warm enough for me to eat more of it. I wish they would of had some type of thermal box, or cover to bring the food in from the outside trailer to the table... My husband had a mushroom swiss burger which was good, and some really delicious flat shaped fries, but again, keeping our food warm enough to eat it was not the best situation. There were some really good looking things on the menu, but it was just too cold in there that day. During nice weather, I'm sure our experience would have been much better, as it seems like a really nice place with a very nice patio with great view.

    SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE! They sat us at a table in the back, without giving us menus or asking about…read moredrinks or anything. We waited for 20 minutes and none of the servers even made eye contact with us, let alone take our orders. Still didn't have menus at this point. We watched the servers take care of the tables next to us during that time, but they didn't approach us. Eventually, I just held my hand up to see if they would get the cue to come to the table. They continued to pretend like they didn't see us. We just got up and walked out at that point. I yelled "Thanks for the great service", and they just gave "have a nice night" as if nothing happened. No attempt to console us. Total lack of respect and decency. They pick favorites out of their customers and ignore you if they don't like how you look. Don't waste your money on that shithole. Also, there are serious racism vibes. I would not feel safe there if I were a person of color.

The first level of the establishment is right on the water. It is very very casual. One guy showed up in swim trunks, a cowboy hat, no shirt, and no shoes. The area is open, so there is no AC in that part of the bar. They have large fans to cool the area, but I was still hot. They have large round picnic tables, high bistro type tables, and a bar seating area. The bistro tables have very uncomfortable chairs. They are those small metal stackable chairs. Some have backs and others have no backs. Even the tiniest butts would not find those seats comfortable. I stood for the majority of the time. Dollar bills are stapled to the wall and ceiling from previous customers each with a saying, a name, and/or the date. They have one unisex restroom downstairs. There was a line each time I needed to go. The crowd seemed to be locals and people who work there and recently got off their shift. I think that is pretty common in these type beach bars. The energy was happy and everyone was nice. They play great music. During our stay, I heard Elvis (twice!), ABBA, Willie Nelson, other 70's artists, and some country. They also have live music. We left before the set started because we had to get home to Houston. The service was good. Our waitress was very attentive. We had the ceviche and shrimp Jammers to split. The Jammers are fried with gooey goodness inside. 5 Jammers to an order. They are really good, so I highly recommend those. The ceviche was refreshing. It came with tortilla chips and a large slice of avocado. They have very good drinks, plus whatever you might like bottled. The two of us each had two drinks. Our drinks and food totaled to $56.00 before tip. Good place to visit. Can't do anything about the heat, but it would be nice if they changed their seating.
