    Samples of the Italian Cream Cheese Cake and chocolate ganache
    Grace W.

    We love coming to Miller's- it is a gem on Galveston Island. We've been here many times over the years and we recently enjoyed a dinner. They serve breakfast all day, have amazing seafood, burgers, and sides. We recently enjoyed the 16 meal and the fish tacos. They are celebrating their 50th anniversary this month! (May 1976-2026) And as a special treat for their anniversary, we received complimentary samples of their Italian Cream Cake and their chocolate ganache dessert. Cathy was a delight to have as our server. The restrooms are very clean, well stocked, and beautifully decorated. We look forward to eating here every time we come to the Island!

    I want to clarify that I have not received my refund, despite what was stated publicly .I have attached a copy of my receipt confirming the charge.I understand fish anatomy, and what was in my meal does not resemble a caudal vein. It was a separate, cylindrical, worm-like object that looks like a parasitic worm, most likely an Anisakis (roundworm) that was easily removed and does not match the appearance or structure of a vein. This is a legitimate food safety concern, not a misunderstanding. I would appreciate this being addressed accurately and the refund being processed as stated. If needed, I'm prepared to pursue this further through my bank and the appropriate health authorities.

    A favorite for brunch when we visit Galveston! Shrimp and grits are amazing, Bloody Mary is good, the location offers a cool view of the pier, and the wait staff were welcoming.

    Sorry I liked this so much I forgot to take a pic- shrimp and grits blackened
    Jennifer H.

    Homestyle goodness! From the waitstaff to the food, we felt right at home. This is a Galveston staple. We had the shrimp and grits blackened and the steak and eggs. Both were spectacular and tasty. I think it is hard to go wrong with this fabulous restaurant

    Create your own. Pick three.

    The food was great. The stuffed jalapeños were amazing. The lump crab with crab dressing was uniquely delicious.

    Ronda R.

    This is a follow up on this place, and it was as delicious today as it was during my first visit. The food is remarkably consistent over time. Huge kudos to the quality control in the kitchen!! The front of house was well represented by our server, Edward T. He was attentive with the coffee refills, and efficient with our order from breakfast items to desserts. We enjoyed breakfast items HUEVOS RANCHERO/ROASTED JALAPENO and LUMP CRAB BENEDICT. For dessert we savored PEACH COBBLER and ITALIAN CREAM CHEESE CAKE. The tables and chairs are clean, and the table views included seaside windows and historic wall art. The bathroom is clean and fresh smelling, IYKYK. Pro tip: Arrive before you are starving, a long wait is normal for this seaside treasure!

    Bloody Mary

    Took the family today for Father's Day brucnh. Amazing doesnt even capture it enough. Staff was extremely friendly, service top notch! I got the crab Benedict and the flavor was everything you'd expect and more! My son got the Jean Lafitte cinnamon French toast and said everything on his plate was 10/10! Now, the bloody mary might have stolen the shoe, could tell was a homemade mix as well. Plan to go back tomorrow for lunch

    Samples of gumbo / chowder

    Being open for close to a half century hasn't slowed down Miller's Seawall Grill, which has been a destination for both locals and tourists in the ever changing Galveston brunch scene. They've amassed a reputation for consistently churning out great food and service, which is why I try to make it a point to visit whenever I'm in the area. The initial drawback is that parking can be tricky. Their lot only fits a handful of cars and the spaces are extremely tight, so street parking is the reality for most folks. The other drawback for most is the wait time. Whether it's a busy weekend or a weekday, there's always going to be a crowd. Whether one can beat the rush really depends on luck and time, the latter of which is probably the safer bet. (#1). While it doesn't look particularly large from the outside, they've surprisnigly made the interior layout work well for a dedicated waiting area and a good number of seating options in the dining room. The vibe is 100% a throwback in time, which only adds to its charm. Bonus points for anyone who gets a view of the water / beach. There may be some initial sticker shock for first timers or perhaps long time locals who are used to times before foodflation became a thing. Since their menu is largely comprised of seafood, items like the fish tacos can run as much as $18 or even a $30 lump crab cake. Even the popular Miller's combo is a cool $35 for 3 choices. The menu is so large and laced with comfort food options that it shouldn't be hard for anyone to find something they would enjoy. I've found a lot that I loved. The crab and corn chowder cup ($7) is so tasty that I'd prefer a bowl ($14) instead. Other occasions I'd prefer their gumbo, which had a solid roux, and plenty of flavor. Their hash browns ($4) are the kind of I love the most: crispy, buttery, and the centerpiece to any quality brunch meal. As other places move onto patties, home fries, or breakfast potatoes, places like this deserve the nod for having mastered this lost art. The lump crab benedict ($21) is indulgent but a nice treat for anyone who loves a killer hollandaise and a solid amount of crab meat. I also strangely loved their bacon and pancakes ($9), the latter of which was fluffy and incredibly satisfying. While the the crab balls are a solid appetizer choice as a half order ($7), one that I'd probably avoid in the future is the shrimp and grits ($21), which were underwhelming and a tinge too greasy and salty. While others may feel otherwise, the service (#2) has always been excellent during my experiences. They've been attentive, have provided soup samples, and have given my group and I quality recommendations across the board. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and can't wait to make a bigger dent into their menu. __________ (#1) Real talk: Yelp Waitlist here would be *so* useful. (#2) Everyone has been nice, but an extra shout out to Blanca.

    Peach cobbler - insane
    Elizabeth S.

    My mom and I found this place near our hotel and we were glad we did! We love how it's been open for 50 years and was full to the brim for dinner, even on a cloudy chill week day. We opted for salads for dinner so we could go all out on dessert, which was a great choice! The salads were also big and very filling. We loved the homemade croutons and salad dressing. The blackened salmon was perfect. My mom got the peach cobbler for dinner and it was insanely good. The key lime pie is usually not my choice for dessert but when the waitress described the homemade pecan sandy for the crust of the pie, I couldn't resist! Loved it too. Service was great and attentive, even during a busy dinner hour.

    This is one of my favorite places to visit for breakfast when I'm in town! I'm not sure if it's the history, the food or the family-like atmosphere! I definitely would suggest you arrive early. Yes, you will more than likely have to wait in line, but it is worth the wait. Hours: 8am-8pm. Parking is limited so be prepared. The restaurant is clean, lots of hustle and bustle from the staff to make sure it stays that way too. The restrooms are also clean, that's very important for me personally. Breakfast is always served hot and fresh! The menu offers a variety of items to choose from. If you prefer to eat breakfast later in the afternoon.... This is your place - ALL Day breakfast! Don't care for breakfast! No worries, review the menu! I'm sure you'll find something you would enjoy!

    We came to Galveston to celebrate Mardi Gras and were staying at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel. We wanted to grab something to eat and Miller's Seawall Grill was a hop, skip, and a jump away from the hotel. We were seated right away. The parking lot is small so it was good that we walked. Our server Isabelle came over to introduce herself and took our order. I got the Turkey Reuben with sautéed spinach and my girlfriend got a burger with sautéed spinach. I enjoyed my food and my girlfriend said her burger was good. We also had the pleasure of meeting the manager Keith during our visit. We were moved to a window seat which was nice to look out and see the beach. Miller's seems to be a staple for the locals. If you're ever in the area check it out!

    After a long day of enjoying the beach we came here for dinner. The wait was okay and not too long for a Saturday night. They have seating for waiting and beepers to keep the line organized. Now FOOD!!! They have a great selection of seafood and other items if you are not a seafood kinda person. I did not order an appetizer, but you should definitely get one with a large crowd. They also have gumbo you can try and a little bit on the spicy side. You can also order this in a cup or bowl. For the actual entree I had the 1/2 grilled shrimp and 1/2 fried shrimp with hush puppies and okra. I like that you can choose the way you want your shrimp cooked. You also have a large variety of sides you can choose from too. I did not have room in my stomach, but the dessert looked yummy! I will definitely be back to try the breakfast and dessert! Non seafood lovers: They also have a variety of food you can choose if you are not into seafood from salads to burgers!

    Have been here before for Breakfast, I had to try their Dinner. A 15-20 min wait was so worth it! Once seated, we had a view of the water which was nice. We started with the Crab balls, very tasty and good, my husband got the burger, cooked to perfection. The Shrimp and Grits were very good, but could have had a bit more juice, but the portions were very adequate, both taking home leftovers:)

    Fresh and very good

    When will you guys reopen? I went a few weekends in a row in June and was about ready to go back.

    Was staying down the street last week and nothing going on there!

    When are the not so busy peaks?

    If you're going on the weekend, typically after the breakfast crowd is when it slows down

    What is breakfast like?

    Outstanding!!!!

    Is the crab cake and crab dressing gluten free?

    The crab cake is most likely not. I've had the crab stuffing and most crab cakes have a bread binding. I'd definitely call Millers and ask what they offer in gluten free and if it can be prepared that way. They are very nice there.

    This is a pretty eclectic place that fits in well here in Galveston. During Spring Break, they…read morewere a little busier during the weekday than normal. Lots of good options on the menu, and I was craving their famous cinnamon roll pancakes, but then a server brought out migas to a table and I immediately knew I wanted that instead. Here, it's a little opposite from most places, you gotta pick your seat first then order as the seats, especially the tables, are hard to come by at times. There are plenty stools along the window but the tables are better and most tables are family style so you'll likely be meeting someone new. I also added a chocolate bread pudding for myself which looked really good. The rest of my group ordered the granny's breakfast with sausage, 2 scrambled eggs and Benny's tostadas. The food comes out surprisingly quick for as busy as they are. Everything was so delicious! I ate a little of the bread pudding at the restaurant, then eventually ate the rest over the course of the next few hours. Yum! This restaurant is highly recommended!

After you finally order you get to try and find one of their dirty tables to sit at then wait way too long for terrible food. The food could not be more terrible, this is what they call biscuits and gravy and it tasted as bad as it looks, I think the best way to describe the color of the gravy is orange, which is weird. I had one bite of the biscuit and gravy and it was so bad that the stray cat that jumped on our table did not even want it, but it could have also been because of all the flies because the little fly fan at our table did not work but it also might have been from the constant smell from the sewer drain located right in the seating area. My wife had a chicken bagel egg sandwich- not good....all our food went in the trash. This is not a restaurant it is a disaster, do not believe the positive reviews.

Overall, I'd have better more friendly staff working the check stand, Jacqueline needed an attitude adjustment, but the lady with colorful hair bussing tables deserves a raise! Edit: There was a lady that had slipped and fell right at the entrance of the door, and the 3 hostess at the stand were just sitting on their phone. They could have given less of a sh*t. People were asking for the manager and they just looked at the people helping without a glance up from their phone. Terrible. I wouldn't recommend coming here if you care about service and hospitality. Manager needs to do better with employees and training.
