We had a late breakfast at Millers , the vibe was very comfortable , the views of the ocean were perfect. The Food was excellent! Hot, fresh , and at a fair price. HOWEVER , Our server , EJ , he was amazing. Didn't hover or ignore us but was on point with what we needed throughout the entire meal. He made the whole experience worth coming back. Best food and service since we hit Galveston y'all. read more

great fried seafood and service. the crab stuffed jalapeños and their crab stuffing that they stuff into everything is great. fried shrimp was solid, fried fish was just okay not sure what kind of fish it was maybe tilapia. family friendly. read more

It was my birthday, and we were on vacation, and I selected Miller's for my birthday dinner. Despite being a holiday week, we were able to walk right in and be seated right away at a table looking out at the beach. The wait staff was super friendly, and very attentive. I liked the fact that there were appetizer options that you could as a half order, as many times the appetizers are so large that once you're finished, you have no room for your meal. We decided on a half order of the hush puppies. They came out hot, crispy, and so delicious! For our meals, I got the fried shrimp, and my boyfriend got the fish and chips. Both of us enjoyed our meals, but I have to give a special shout out to my side of mac & cheese. This can be iffy at most restaurants, as you never know if it's going to be dry from being under a warming oven in the kitchen. This was probably the best side of mac & cheese I've ever gotten in any restaurant! It was moist and delicious!! The parking lot at Miller's isn't large, but we were lucky to get a spot. It is also well located on the seawall, so it is only a short walk to other shops and attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed our birthday celebration at Miiller's! read more

Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. We waited over an hour to be seated, and our waitress was not very pleasant--she may have had a long shift before getting to us, (it was 12:30pm on a Sunday) but it definitely showed with her short snappy and impatient comments and behavior. The food was extremely bland. Nothing we ordered had seasoning or any flavor. Husband and I had the lump crab Benedict with scalloped potatoes, which turned out to be large chunks of potato with melted cheese on top and mushy cakes with no seasoning. The Gouda grits were just plain grits with a slice of cheese laid on top--very underwhelming. The house-made sangria was subpar, though I did enjoy the fruit chunks. The restaurant itself is cute, but it's very small with limited seating. Overall, the experience did not match the price, and we left very disappointed. read more

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. read more

Our server was this amazing older lady. She was the best! I wish I remembered her name. The shrimp and grits were to die for! The Mac and cheese, fries and French toast were also the best! Going back today for lunch before we leave because it was so good. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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:) read more

Best shrimp and grits ever and the burgers can't be beat... obviously the atmosphere is perfect

Miller gives a very accurate take on southern comfort diner along the seawall. Be warned, parking may be a bit more limited on busier weekends. You may have to talk a little bit further away. But the restaurant itself is very spacious and has plenty of seating. The staff was very friendly and tended to our table very often. We had shrimp grits, seared hash browns, and crab lump. My favorite was the crab lump! The crab meat feeling felt very fresh and richly flavored. Hash browns were extra crispy and gives a very satisfying bite! read more

Miller's is a great place for comfort-diner-southern-vibes along the seawall. Seating was expeditious but parking may be an issue during busier hours. There is very limited parking on the side of the restaurant. We went during a weekday and so this was not an issue. Once you're able to get in, seating and service was very fast. Our waiter was very friendly and proactive. She frequently returns to check up on us for refills and conversed a bit. We ordered the Shrimp Grits. This was my first time having grits, they were very... gritty; which I think is the intention. The shrimp and mushrooms feel fresh. So a win. The Crab Lump was mostly success! It was rich, moist, and well flavored. Although, I would have wanted just a little more crab in my lump. The hash browns were extra crispy and exactly to my liking. read more

Tourist trap! Group of four guys, all non-picky eaters, and we all got something different. Cocktails were just kinda "meh"... unimpressive kindly describes them. I got a lump crab salad and it came with minimal crab, a few chopped baby carrots on a salad bed -- meh. Buddies all said their meals just weren't that great. Not bad, just not memorable especially for the prices you're paying. The bright spot is the inside decor with some historical pictures and other fun "sea wall" expecting things. Pass, hit the next best spot you see. read more

You're going to have to call Ripley's Believe It or Not for one. I'm a BOI (Born on the Island) who lived in Galveston for nearly 30 years until Hurricane Ike in 2008, but today was the first time I ever ate at this renowned beachside eatery. I decided to come here after my late morning stroll along the Seawall. So, for my maiden meal, I went with the lunch plate consisting of fried shrimp, sautéed mushrooms, and buttered corn. Boy howdy! I don't know what possessed me not to enter this place for a mighty long time, but I'm so glad I did. The shrimp tasted top notch. There was no trace of seawater gameyness (is there even such a word?). Just crustaceans that were nicely battered, seasoned, and fried. The mushrooms and corn were an ample size and nice complements to the entrée. The lunch special section of the menu listed a variety of dishes with either beef, pork, or poultry, which piqued my interest. But I'll have to try one of them after Easter since I gave up meat for Lent. I had Diego for a waiter, and he did exceptional despite it being oh-so busy when I was there. The other staffers seem pretty nice from what I observed. Miller's has been around since way before I was born. Point of fact, it opened in 1976. The building it's in is a very familiar sight to Galvestonians of a certain age. Inside, diners and guests get a feeling like they're aboard a vessel that was built a century ago. Aside from delicious food and excellent service, there's the beautiful Gulf of Mexico -- NOT AMERICA -- in front of it all to enjoy when the weather's cooperative. That said, I ought to check out the upstairs deck next time. And yes, the restaurant deserves a next time and more. read more

Beautiful place with the perfect view. This brunch place had lots of reviews and we decided to try out on a Sunday morning. It was a long wait as stated in reviews but the experience was definitely worth it. We got a table facing the beach and it such a perfect view while dining.

Great food and great service. Lots of comfortable seats. I walked here from my hotel but the parking looked good too.

Great food on the seawall! We had brunch after driving in from 4 hours away and waiting for our airbnb to be ready. Good for groups too.

I consider myself a connoisseur of shrimp and grits. I enjoy eating them in every coastal city possible. I will say u equivocally that these were my absolute favorite. Side note: they do NOT have a sauce. But that's fine bc you absolutely do not need one. I got it fajita style with the onions and mushrooms. It was the perfect addition. The grits were phenomenal and there were small pockets of gooey Gouda. Cannot say enough good things. No kids menu. We ordered our 5 year-old the mini plate with grilled chicken. It was such a relief not o have to endure another chicken tender. The grilled chicken was perfect and he devoured it. The side of mac n cheese was very creamy. My husband was craving a burger and said it totally hit the spot. Service was excellent. We also got a half order of hush puppies and they were awesome. The beer battered fries were also amazing! read more

When my family was in Galveston, TX, 5 of us placed a carryout order from Miller's Seawall Grill for dinner on my brother's birthday. They told us it would be 15 minutes and we were surprised because we have waited longer than that for a pizza order. This restaurant is located close to the beach and we were not able to find parking so my brother waited in the car while I went in and picked up the food. Sure enough, our order was ready when I arrived. The woman who greeted me was really nice. We were charged a $3.95 "to go charge" that I wasn't aware of, but I know some people don't tip well so I didn't dispute it (we did tip in addition to the fee). The food was packaged really well so we didn't check our order until we got to the house, but our order was accurate. They even included dinner rolls that we were not expecting. We all thought the food tasted really good. I had the quesadilla and gave some to my nephew and still didn't eat it all. I would definitely eat here again if I am ever in the area. The interior looked inviting, so I would like to try dining in as well. read more

This place came highly recommended and is right on the beach. However the wait times were VERY LONG and I didnt see an option to make an advanced reservation online. We waited over an hour, and about 20min past "closing" time to be seated. The food was decent and the wait for food once ordered was short. The place was pretty but I wouldnt recommend coming here with preteen kids who are tired because of the wait. read more

This gets 5 stars on service alone. The staff was amazing. AMAZING. I didn't get the manager's name, but she and Mari took great care of my family, accommodating us readily. But the food? Well, you won't be mislead by the 5 stars. Mari warned of adding syrup to the waffles, and killing off your instinct was appreciated. Great chicken and waffles, though quite sweet. Huge pancakes for the kids and delicious sausage. The huervos ranchero was quite bland, but not knocking a whole star for that. read more

We went here today for an early dinner. There were two of us and we were greeted and seated as soon as we walked in. The manager(Anna) maybe was cool with a quick sense of humor that made feel comfortable. Our server(Michelle) there quickly and took our drink and as soon as she brought them we gave her our order. She was really nice and friendly as we were joking about this being our first time to eat here. We both ordered the same thing. My wife got the grilled fillet and shrimp with mushrooms as her side and I got the fried fish and shrimp with fried okra. The food was hot and fresh and tasty. If the ratings had 5 more stars, I would give them a 10. If you're in Galveston, you need to eat here at least once. You will be back.. One more item, the manager had to chase me out the door to give me my cap that I left on the table. Thank you!! read more
