You can't beat this spot for a lunch and a view. On a nice day this is the place you need to be. You may not see the beach and waves but still get to eat above the water. Do some boat watching and enjoy this elevated dining. read more

Marina Bar & Grill - View of cruise ship leaving port 4ish PM. 2/1/2025. - American Near Me - Galveston, Texas

We are new home owners in Sea Isle. We have tried Marina Bar & Grill several times, giving them the benefit of the doubt. The food is heavy. I'm sure it's great for people who have been on the beach all day and want something very hardy. For someone just wanting a good meal, it didn't work for me. I tried the dinner salad and paid the additional $9 for 5 shrimp. I thought that was very steep price for 5 shrimp. I like the atmosphere, it's very laid back. Our last trip there we decided would be our last trip. My husband ordered the shrimp poboy sandwich. It was under breaded, under seasoned and the shrimp was undercooked. I ordered the Cajun nachos. The nachos had very little of the meat mixture and tons of chips. So I'm sad to say we won't be back unless we are in the mood for a hamburger and then I have to make sure it's cooked all the way through. read more

Best kept secret in Galveston. Great view on the harbor side near the yacht club. Food was amazing and friendly service. Cocktails were served in tall glasses with a variety of tropical specials. I recommend the fish tacos which were delicious. We enjoyed watching the giant boats being transferred from the dry dock warehouse where boats are stacked into the water. Very entertaining! Will definitely go back for the amazing ambiance! read more

Marina Bar & Grill - Loving Galveston during the low season - American Near Me - Galveston, Texas

This is my favorite spot on the island. Mostly locals and great place away from all the tourist. I come here to watch the cruise ships arrive and leave the Port of Galveston. Also I come here for the fish and Chips (so good and flaky and prepared when ordered). The shrimp here are so sweet and fresh. Paola was our server and she was lovely. Everyone is friendly and the staff is awesome. *Warning* If the wind is blowing on the island, best believe it's blowing even more here. So grab a drink and some food and sit back and take it all in. You're welcome and enjoy my favorite spot. read more

Beautiful marina views and a relaxing patio atmosphere. The Marina Bar & Grill is an excellent spot to take in views of the water and ships in the marina, have a drink, and enjoy some seafood. The shrimp tacos were delicious, and we all enjoyed the chips and queso, The kids especially loved watching a cruise ship come in to dock while we were eating. Service was friendly and attentive. A nice option away from the crowds for a relaxing, casual meal. read more

Finally made it here. Friday at 5:15pm.. nice after work crowd. They have 2 stories to choose from, we sat upstairs. It was happy hour...beer and wine cheaper and certain shots. We had their specialty drinks, the cherry lemonade and the Seawall sail...both vodka drinks. They were ok. I started with a Scottish egg...really good! We both had the fried beer battered shrimp with waffle fries. The shrimp were large and there were like (6) so a good portion. Tasty as well. The view has a lot of boats and industrial stuff around...you can see UTMB and my employer, Texas Dept of Corrections buildings, as well as, a few other buildings near the Strand. Waitress, Amythest was amaze balls! At 7p a live band started downstairs with picnic tables to sit at. BUY LOCAL SUPPORT LOCAL read more

Came for a late lunch and we were the only ones there (it's off season). Service was very friendly. I had grilled shrimp tacos which were some of the best I've had in town. The queso was pretty good and the chips with it were nice and hot. But of a disappointment that others who ordered fish were told it wasn't thawed out yet so they had to order something else (it's a marina ... would think fish would be fresh). Overall it was good and unlike a lot of Galveston places, not overpriced. read more

We came to a birthday party for a friend, it's entirely outdoors. The service was really good considering the place was pretty packed. My partner and I shared a fried shrimp plate with a side of onion rings. My friends noted the burger was delicious as well. It was plenty to split for us and it was very tasty. Nice view and a nice breeze even though it was terribly humid. Everyone was nice and friendly, dogs welcomed and clean bathrooms. read more

Great service, casual place to get a drink and some pub food. Great spot to watch the marina and the cruise ships. Off the beaten path so it wasn't crowded when we went. Bartender was awesome. Definitely recommend this spot. read more

The Food is Delicious here, we can't believe we haven't come here before. The service was Great, Lauren was our waitress and she was attentive and beautiful. She was very kind. The ambiance was great! Patio seating outside overlooking the marina while watching the sunset. It was the perfect way to end our night after working late. Thanks Lauren and Chef for a Great night out! read more

They need an island time warning. My family and I of 5 (all adults) walked in on a Saturday night at 8:45pm thinking they don't close until midnight, but unfortunately we were turned away. We had checked both the website and Apple Maps for Saturday evening hours which both said midnight. Even yelp says they're still open for a while as I write this. However, the waitress stated they were about to close and had already started cleaning the grill so we could not dine there. I would advise to call ahead. read more

Marina Bar & Grill - Great view! - American Near Me - Galveston, Texas

To start of with, this place is a total dive, in a good way. Aside from being difficult to find (Galveston confuses the heck out of Google Maps), it was a great decision. Located in the Yacht Club basin, the place is a two story building with service up and down. I recommend upstairs. The cool ocean breezes and the harbo0r view make for a very relaxing time. My wife and I both ordered the fish and chips. So fresh, so flavorful, and so good. It was just what we needed for lunch that day. I love a good dive, and this place is a great reason why. Service is quick and friendly, and the food is great and the prices are very reasonable. What a bargain! read more

Says they close at 10pm, arrived at 8pm and they turned me away saying they're closed already.

Chili is good but doesn't come with any crackers / missing the mark! Nice view of the harbor and Royal Carribean shop

Wow! Beer battered shrimp. You never see that anywhere! I had so many on my Poboy I could not eat all of them. Huge and beefy! Hubby loved his platter too. Hush puppies yummy and onion rings so good. We have not been here in years but it is better than before. read more

The food at this place is not as good as before. I had not been there for a few months and the chicken strips are now like large McNuggets. All of their food now seems to come from a Sysco truck. Onion rings are pre-fab frozen. Just cheap greasy bar food that's priced like a nice restaurant. Service is good and ambiance is very nice but don't go for the food. read more

The view was really pretty, the server got back to the table really quick answered all our questions, shrimp was great fries were yummy and we loved the margaritas. Service was quick and everyone was really friendly. Band playing was Becca & the Aviators, they were good too. Glad we stopped here instead of the place we picked out. read more

This place has gone downhill as far as quality goes, service is terrible waitstaff too busy on phones or distracted to help guest when they arrive. read more

The service and ambience is awesome. The bacon wrapped shrimp were yummy & the fries were the highlight of the entire meal. One complaint, not knowing what fish (fish &chps) I'm eating is a little uncomfortable and the waitress wasn't sure either. Also, it was over cooked and or dry. It was a great fish but she thought it was cod. Idk the batter was good though. They need a little revamp in the cooking area and this place could be really bomb. read more

Celebrating my fur baby's 14th birthday and this restaurant is a very dog friendly! Our waitress even brought a water bowl for him to stay hydrated in this warm and sunny weather.

The only reason for 3 stars is the view. Our waitress was super nice but the food was just okay. Shrimp tacos were good, patty melt had no flavor but their fries and onion rings were pretty good. My Biggest disappointment was not from the dry overcooked hamburger patty, but rather the warm beer. Ordered a modelo and a Dos Equis. Both were not very cold at all. For a place with the beautiful outside views, and being mid-July, I'm sorry but your beer needs to be ICE cold. read more

Talk about finding a hidden treasure, that was a little hard to find. Located at the back of the Galveston Yacht Club near the boat ramp and bait shop. The ambiance is top notch, it has a laid back comfortable coastal feel. The cool breeze off the water and the sound of laughing gulls really added to the experience. Our table had a fantastic view of the marina. We enjoyed watching all the boats launch. We also had a great view of the brown pelicans lining up at the fish cleaning station waiting for scraps. That was entertaining as well. We ordered the bear battered shrimp and a burger. Everything was excellent. The shrimp were some of the freshest that I have ever had. Our waitress said they get them right off the dock. The only thing I would do differently would be to get them grilled or fried as the beer batter takes away from the flavor of the shrimp. The burger was fresh ground beef not frozen. It was cooked and seasoned well. The onion rings were homemade and delicious. Cooked perfectly with a light well seasoned batter. Yum! Our waitress was friendly, offered suggestions and checked on us often. Great job! On Friday, Saturday and Sunday they have live music. Very enjoyable and entertaining. This is going to be my new go to spot when on the island. read more

Marina Barc& Grill was a lot of fun. We went on a Sunday. Although a worker called in sick and they were shorthanded, the team held it together with smiles on their faces. The snack food was cooked well. I had a hamburger and my husband had fish and chips. The fish and chips stood out. Large pieces of white fish, beer battered was very good. The live music was excellent and made for a fun day. read more

The poor girl working the bar and waiting tables is keeping this place running today. The cook is not helping expedite the food. Some management needs to be here helping out today. Food was good. Would have been better if it were served hot. The cook put it up on the shelf and took a bio break never telling the waitress there was food in the window. read more

I ordered the chicken tenders because the server recommended them. They were very under seasoned. I don't think they added any salt or any seasoning to the mix. I'm assuming they were frozen chicken tenders? The fries were good. The table was sticky and desperately needed a good wipe down. As soon as the food arrived, we were hit with a swarm of flies. Since it is an outdoor bar, there was really nothing to do about the flies other than swat away. Restrooms were surprisingly very clean. The only thing I enjoyed about this place was the view and the restrooms. The view was awesome! read more

Marina is a must to bring out of towners for the beautiful view. The food and cocktails are constantly good. I typically get a Bloody Mary from Bree (she's actually nominated for bartender of the year in Galveston!!). This trip we started with the fried pickles and oh my goodness they were some of the best I've ever had! The chips and salsa were really good too the salsa had the perfect kick to it. I got the gumbo and it was amazing. This was the first place in Galveston that I've had my gumbo served in a bread bowl and it was great. My shrimps were very well seasoned and not over cooked, I also liked that my rice came on the side. The sausage in the gumbo had so much flavor I'm pretty sure it was smoked. Often you can see the yachts get put in the water by a fork lift and I just think it's so neat to watch. I defiantly recommend marina for a group of people epically when there's live music. Go check them out!! read more

Ordered two appetizers to go and was advised 20 minutes which seemed a bit long for fried gator bites. But we waited. Asked about our food 3 times. They took a full hour to fry gator. Wow, several other customers were waiting more than an hour. The place didn't even have a lot of customers. Ugh. If you're hungry, just try some place else. read more

I got the breakfast quesadilla and I was not disappointed. Very filling and tasty! My Mom snagged their pancake and I swear to you all it was a panCAKE. TALK ABOUT FLUFFY!

The service and quality has become a deterrent. Lately we've had to wait for our server to wipe down our table, wait to place our drink order, wait to place our food order, then wait to receive the check. We usually get the gumbo, but twice now it's been served without the bread bowl and were not asked if that was okay. I ordered a grilled cheese with cheddar and the waitress up-charged us .75 even though it says on the menu "cheese of your choice". Staring not to enjoy the experience. read more
