Tonight I came in for a quick cocktail and burger from Tonny Rico's food truck in their backyard area; delicious!

Pizza was fresh, delicious and reasonably priced compared to others in town. You get to pick your toppings from many selections. We've had their pizza often since we discovered them 5 years ago. 8/10/2025 Tonight we split the fried catfish dinner. Nice thin cornmeal batter, 4 pieces plus tots (substituted for fries), hush puppies and coleslaw. Plenty to split! Very light!!! Ok other than the tots. Love Jacks for their food! ! It's a smoky dive bar but the food is fantastic! We don't go in and hang, both of us being former smokers, but we love their food! I hear their green chicken enchiladas are amazing! Will report back. One note, prices are a little higher than the menus online, maybe by $5. Still very reasonable!!!

This is a comedic bar. It's not a place that I would recommend going to unless you're hungry and…read moreit's past 10:30 p.m. in Galveston, Texas. Otherwise, I'd stay the hell away from here. If you want to see an empty pool table, maybe play around. That's a reason to go. If you want some decent late-night food, it's not a chain. It's your only option. That's a reason to go. Again, outside of that, I highly recommend finding something better. But it is Texas, and there's jack shit for food. But this place is one of the few places left that still lets you smoke inside. So you know, different strokes for different folks.

I dislike the huge ones that you practically have to cut up or rearrange because there's an excess of corned beef. The service was quick and very friendly too. Losing a star because it's very smoky in there and I'd never want to stay and eat/drink, but I'll definitely get takeout again! Shame it still allows smoking because it's super cosy and dark, and if not for the smokiness, I'd love it inside.

You all know that it's here - crawfish season! We ushered…read moreit in with a trip to Beerfoot Beach Bar. Crowded? Heck yeah! But that's a very good sign and even though we dispaired finding seating for three hungry people, the back room was opened up for the overflow crowd that I'm not sure they expected. While waiting, we had some excellent draft beer. If you find that you're craving something more exciting than the usual suspects, this is one of the great Galveston places to be. Sure there's Bud and Bud Light to be had, but DON'T. Give your taste BUDS a thrill and get a brew from their generous list of suds. It was a wait for the crawfish, but patience is a virtue that definitely paid off for us. This was Vudoo Viet-Cajun rather than traditional, and I think it was the perfect first choice for the season - with just enough spice, just enough citrus, and decently sized mud bugs, our three pounds practically put us in a swoon. Beerfoot serves crawfish at 2:00 on Sundays throughout the season, excluding Mother's day, and my advice is to get there around 1:00, find your table, get a beer, and prepare for some very good eats!

The food was astronomical, mark my words BEST PHO ON THE ISLAND, there I said it. The Pirate Seafood pho with chicken was dynamic with a flavor that I kept coming back for. It was like that scene in Ratatouille where the critic Anton Ego is at a loss for words. If there's one thing I know about Phos they usually take 3+ limes and a dollop of sriracha to make it taste right...but this? Perfect as is. Needs not a touch of anything more. My only regret not getting here sooner. Spike the owner, a loving man who cares about atmosphere, personalized service and taking care of your needs. He provided service as if you were sitting at the dinning room table of his own house.

I eat here on a regular basis, Spike makes an amazing margarita with fresh squeezed juice. The pirate rolls, wings, Pad Thai with Grilled Pork (I prefer level 3 spicy because habenero keeps me humble), Banh Mi Sandwich and Vermicelli bowls are all on regular rotation.

Their drinks are reasonably priced, while their food is on the pricey side. We got the Beach Please, Berry Optimistic strawberry lemonade shandy, ravioli bites, and a pretzel. The pretzel was really fragrant and tasty, and I normally don't like pretzels. The ravioli bites were tasty as well. I really liked the shandy as it had a sweet taste, per the employee's recommendation. They let us try samples, and gave us free pickle juice shots. These shots were very unpleasant, as expected.
