    Shrimp plate with mustard greens and cole slaw
    Caroline B.

    Not bad. Decent sides and fried shrimp. Took like 5 min to come out from ordering. About $18 for my shrimp plate which was enough to sustain me through the next 5 hours of fishing I did. Definitely a locals' place, don't expect anything fancy. Also they sell venison here?

    This is a Boudin ball, which is off the charts delicious!
    Lori F.

    First of all, the staff is very kind and friendly. But most importantly, the food is 10 out of 10! What a hidden gym, and worth finding! Our party of 6 ordered 6 different things from the menu, and everyone loved their meal!

    Counter and menu
    Gary M.

    This place opened in 1991, the current building in 2009, Leo's has firmly established itself as a bonafide classic food joint. It may be on Broadway, but it has the feel of a quiet neighborhood corner joint. The customers all seemed like regulars. No tourists here! Service was kind and quick. Order at the counter. The food was a mistake a mix of prepared foods under heat lamps or in a steamer, or freshly fried dishes. I opted for the fried shrimp plate - 10 shrimp for $16.99. I expected them to be under a heat lamp but they were fried fresh and it didn't take long for them to bring me my plate - fresh and hot. The shrimp was nice and crispy and deceptively spicy! How I've missed this place I have no idea. They also process meats here and have a display case to the right of the counter containing boudin, sausages, jerky, and various other items. This place is the real deal. I'll be back.

    Etouffee packed with flavor

    First, everything was made fresh and nice and hot coming from the kitchen. The service is top notch, they treated us like family members being served some home cooked love. Definitely worth a try in this down to earth shop, hand written signs show the adoration for the food and people. Plus the menu is extensive with Cajun staples with prices that are criminally low, you can just get more options to savor.

    Beautiful crawfish boudin out of the air fryer.

    I absolutely love this place, however, I was soooooo disappointed when I got home and found my $11 bowl of gumbo was a bowl full of rice!!! :( most places will give you your rice on the side but no, the cup was full of rice so there was barely any gumbo inside. The crawfish boudin was excellent in the air fryer!!! Always a favorite for us. However, we will not ever repeat the gumbo.

    Boudin Balls were simply AMAZING.
    Ben M.

    No frills or bells and whistles... just AMAZING food Yelpers. My coworker recommended LCC and boy was Mikey right. Leo's serves the best Cajun food in Texas. I tried a little bit of everything as you can see by the pics I took while I devoured my food. The lady at the counter was helpful and friendly. The boudin balls were delicious and the ribs were very tasty as well. I have placed Leo's on my 5 Star Platinum List of places you must try when in the Galveston area. So let be written... So let it be EATEN!!

    Shrimp poboy
    Jazmine S.

    While they aren't the most authentic, the shrimp poboys here are pretty good for the area and price point. The coleslaw is surprisingly a nice addition to the sandwich. I choose Leo's over most places in Galveston whenever I want a poboy.

    Solid 3 everything was really lack luster. The customer was great! Really nice people working here that's for sure. Good: we got a mix of things here. Sausage sandwich, boudain balls, fried shrimp, and gumbo. Oh the cupcake was probably the best along with the gumbo. Everything was heated up and very lack luster. I will give them this though, the gumbo was pretty good. I got chicken and sausage. Everything else was very subpar. The cupcake was great! The customer service is really good? Really nice e people working here. I probably won't be back but maybe you will like their food better than I did. Everyone's tastes buds are different.

    Catfish supreme tray
    Marian G.

    Order at the counter and pick a table. This is our first time. We had the catfish supreme tray (fried catfish covered in etouffe) very very very good. And the crab cakes were delicious also (and large). This is enough for two people., if you are not so hungry. We came before any rush so it's quiet. We will be back.

    Seafood Platter, Catfish Supreme
    Jaydon R.

    Amazing Service!!! Very clean, organized both in the eating area and behind the register! Sweet people and amazing food, the best friend catfish, oysters, and Etouffe.

    Ambience of a Cajun gumbo and boudin shack
    Eddie H.

    Authentic and time tested fare. This is NOT a trendy venture by an up and coming chef. This is what such a chef seeks to emulate and fold into "new" ideas.' No, this the real deal common man's fare that only a regional restaurant in a port city can pull off for over 3 decades. This is the mom and pop place that is still doing things the right way. Using Cajun spices, smoke and good quality ingredients to make its food the staff makes like a Cajun mama would. Their potato salad is the most mustardy potato salad that ever mustard. I'm not a spice lover but I can recognize this is good Cajun food.

    Cutting across Texas to New Orleans, I knew we would be skimming the shore of the Gulf of Mexico…read more Shut up. My review, I can call it what I want. That being said, it had been some time since I've gotten some proper fish-n-chips. I had to remedy that. Especially since the BBQ fiasco the other day, I was going to go on a hunger strike, but once I made the sign, I got potato chip fingers on it and started to eat it. So, I decided to fight fire with fire, and figured I would eat myself happy again. Which I'm never mad about. Sometimes I make myself angry just so I can eat myself happy. And now, the rest of the story. I have learned that I enjoy Cod fish for my fish-n-chips. And I think also Haddock. I am not a fisher nor a fish. So it's hard for me to say. But I know Cod is one for sure. I also sometimes have baby mouth and am afraid of new things. I do know I love my fish battered and deep fried. I also know that Shark Shack had good reviews for their fish, so, that was all I needed to hear. Plus, it was a perfect little eatery with bar seating, table seating, and gifts! So you can bet your bottom dollar tomorrow I ordered the English fish-n-chips. Boy oh boy. Just like how Britain colonized all those countries back when it was the cool thing to do, these fish and chips colonized my taste buds. Respectfully. This plate came with FIVE logs of fish. FIVE! Maybe they were tubes of fish? Honestly, I don't care what shape they came in, they looked perfectly crunchy and perfectly brown and perfectly fish. The super cool extra bonus? These fish came with CRISPIES! I've only ever seen crisps with fish from Long John Silvers, whose fish is probably as far from Cod or Haddock as legally possible. I actually think one of my pieces of fish from there had shoelaces. Didn't matter. Still ate it. Respectfully. (If you aren't privileged enough to know what fish crispies are, there little batter pieces that fry or fall off the fish as they cook. Basically little crumblies. If you make a wish over a fork of them and get the forkful in your mouth without dropping any, your wish will come true). Homemade tartar sauce was good, but there was a certain flavor profile that I wasn't a fan of. It was still good to use on the fish rods, it just tasted a little too much out of the tartar sauce field for me. The meal was wrapped up nice and tight with lovely square-cut fries. Perfect doneness. Perfect Ketchup vessel. I could just stare at a pile of them all night. Mostly because I'm weird.

    It has taken me a little while to write this review purely because I am so torn on the rating. Some…read moreareas of our visit warrant a 3-star rating, and some a 4-star. I decided to lean more toward the 4-star side, so here we are. While in Galveston for a quick weekend getaway, we wanted to go out for dinner. Katie's was my first choice, but the wait was too long, so I pulled up Yelp to see what else was recommended. Shark Shack had great reviews, and when we arrived there was zero wait, so we went for it. The one area where I docked a star was the service. We were seated immediately but waited quite a while for our server to appear, and then even longer to get our drinks. I was so excited for a margarita, but when it arrived in a plastic cup, I was immediately disappointed. Plastic cups are for the beach and nightclubs, not a restaurant with a bar. And that's not where the awful drink experience ended -- it was so weak and just not good at all. Our server seemed so disinterested in everything: taking our order, answering questions, and when it came time to pay, we had to wait ages to see him and wave him down. The food was decent with no major complaints. It wasn't "blow your mind" amazing, but it was good. The owner -- well, I assume he was the owner -- came and spoke to us when he found out my husband was military, and he was really nice, friendly, and very supportive of the military community, offering a very generous military discount. That definitely raises the rating and is much appreciated, so thank you. Overall, the big fixes for me would be the service and the drink situation. I can't say we would rush to come back just because we love Katie's for the service, food, and drinks..

    Overall, we had a good experience and would come back. The service was good (attentive and polite)…read moreand it was a laid back fun atmosphere. The biggest issue was that everything we ordered was extremely salty. If the seasoning were dialed back a bit, the food would have been excellent. The portions were very generous. The muffuletta was huge and packed with flavor. The burger was also good, although it was so large and messy that it was a challenge to eat. The onion rings were perfectly cooked--crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Despite the saltiness, the quality of the food and the portion sizes made for an enjoyable meal.

    I've never had such bland food in my life…read more Place was fairly busy. It's a Friday night so that makes sense. But there's only one server. I ordered the crawfish platter. It comes with etouffee and fried crawfish. There was no spice. No salt. The food tasted the same as the plain white rice that accompanied the etouffee. I'm not exaggerating when I say this was literally the least flavorful food I've *ever* had. Plain toast has more flavor. My husband ordered oysters and fried mushrooms. They brought out the mushrooms which were also flavorless. Extremely bland. No salt, no nothing. After 20 minutes we asked where the oysters were. They were never put through. We opted to just get the check and leave. The experience was already so disappointing that we weren't about to waste money on more of the same. Even my water came out warmer than room temperature. I have no idea how this place is in business honestly. There's so much competition out there and I'm sure they season their batter. I would never return here and absolutely wouldn't recommend it either. I can't find anything positive about our experience.

Our lunch was absolutely delicious. Here's the rundown: 1 appetizer of ahi tuna won-ton, 2 raw oyster samplers, 2 Galveston Island Brewing blondes, 1 dirty gin martini with blue cheese stuffed olives, and one to-go bottle of Cat Five hot sauce. I am not a huge fan of tuna, but this ahi/poke style of tuna with actual umami flavor elevates a mild sushi gateway fish to something yummy. The oysters were a delight. Shucks has a color coded system in place to help you identify which oysters are which, but my tired old eyes can't seem to make their system work. I did have two favorite kinds but could not tell you what they were. No matter, they were all superior - and small like east coast/ Canadian bivalves are. Dan's beer was tasty and swillable and my martini was appropriately dirty. We got the hot sauce because you can never have enough condiments and cats were referenced in its name. Our server was friendly and efficient. Interesting to me, I was mildly making fun of their music selection and soon after it changed. Coincidence? Dunno, but I appreciated the change to Motown! Bottom line. So, so enjoyable and something we don't do too often these days. It was an expensive meal, but worth the splurge.
