We traveled to Galveston to visit the store and restaurant firsthand. For years, we followed Ronnie Maceo's story and were saddened by his passing. Thankfully, his daughter, Concetta, has continued the family legacy. We were fortunate to meet her during our visit. She was incredibly gracious, and spending time with her made the experience even more memorable. The food was absolutely delicious, and we couldn't leave without stocking up on spices and sauces. It's amazing how much history, culture, and tradition are packed into this one place. The gumbo roux is the perfect rich, dark color, and the flavor is everything you hope for--authentic, hearty, and reminiscent of New Orleans. Concetta also shared the weekly specials, giving us even more reasons to return. Needless to say, every future trip to Galveston will include a stop at Maceo's. I highly recommend adding Maceo's to your bucket list. See you there!

My wife and I ordered a muffuletta and a turkey sandwich along with small cups of gumbo and red beans and rice. All were excellent. The service was a bit slow, but we arrived about the same time as the Sunday church crowd, so I think that's to be expected. The restaurant is also a store, and they have a good variety of products, despite being rather small. Definitely worth a trip if you're in the Galveston area!

The seafood is incredibly fresh--shrimp, fish, and everything else tastes like it just came straight from the ocean. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to help you pick the best options. The market is clean, well organized, and the quality is outstanding. If you're in Galveston and love seafood, this place is a must-visit. It's one of the best spots on the island to experience real, fresh Gulf seafood!

It comes with amazing homemade sauce (cocktail or tartar), however it does not need any sauce bc the garlic butter Parmesan seasoning is amazing. We also love the coconut shrimp & the sauce is equally delicious! Shrimp coleslaw is good too. A little pricy for the size, but you do get a shrimp in every bite so 100% worth a try if you haven't had it before. Service is good - it's a good truck so you just order, wait & dive into the deliciousness. There are ample picnic tables (with shade cover) to eat on site, or take it to go.

The new owner made me cry when I went in and saw a piece from my Uncle's store with an original picture framed in the cabinet. He asked I was OK and I told the the memories of the store and where everything was way back when. He was delightful, customer friendly and his customers are like family to him. He has a clean store, well stock shelves and takes pride of his store. I wanted to buy a Zero Sugar Soda drink and a water. He wouldn't let me pay. So, I bought a few Lottery tickets (I never do), but if I won, he would too. It was the least I could do to thank him. Of course, we stop in all the time now. I am glad he is the owner. My Uncle would have been pleased.

Located on the island of Bolivar near Crystal Beach, the store is vintage turquoise. We stopped by to purchase a beach parking pass because you can actually drive on the island beaches. The inside is not fancy, no big box store displays. The lady behind the counter was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. She told us how and where to look for sharks teeth on the beach. They sell iced down beer and other beverages perfect for a hot day in Texas. They also are set up with coffee and fountain drinks. We found sand toys and a small amount of fishing gear. There was a limited selection of grocery essentials. And, of course, snack foods. Outside, they sell Shamrock gas. The only rest rooms were a port a potty outside. Oh my! But I still give them 5 stars because they are friendly, had what I needed and took me back to my childhood. A definite oasis near the beach.

I have tried this place 3-4 times before deciding to write a review. Disclaimer: I am vegetarian,…read moreso I cannot speak for the meat items. I do find the menu to be friendly for dietary restrictions and quite extensive! I acknowledge that because options are limited in Galveston for Indian food, this is an ideal location to be able to satisfy that Indian food craving. However, I have always found the food to be average at best. The curries are creamy and colorful, and the portions are big and satisfying. Unfortunately, the food each time has been extremely salty and lacking in depth. I would not call it flavorless, but there is no complexity and variety that makes Indian food what it is. The food is also very mild in spiciness, but I imagine they would be willing to accomodate and make it spicier if asked. The naan is also more dry and tough rather than pillowy and easy to pull apart as it should normally be. The gulab jamun are very good and the veg pakoda are light and crispy, I would get those again. Service has always been good, and despite being in a gas station, it is a nice spot.
