The roast beef has drastically changed at Golden Corral…read more I have always enjoyed the roast beef there. It was so juicy and so tender that it fell apart with a touch of the fork. There was no need for gravy because of the natural juices. The taste was just like my mom's (50 years ago). The roast beef is now very different. Twice now: --the roast beef was sliced and held its shape when placed on my plate--no longer tenderly falling apart. The roast is tough. --the roast beef was very, very dry, no longer juicy, no longer having natural juices. --The taste was bland--no longer perfect. The meat is very lean and apparently not roasted with any fat cuts of roast beef meat. In addition, the larger cut pieces of red potatoes were very hard--not done. To Golden Corral, please bring back the roast beef that so many of us have long enjoyed.

We went on Saturday May 2 for dinner. They had lobster tails for an additional price. Everyone in…read moreour party got one. The food was amazing. The steaks were tender. The lobster tails were cooked to order and they were seasoned and tender. They served them with melted butter. All the other food we tried was outstanding. I highly recommend this Golden Corral. Our waitress was awesome. She checked on us all the time.

While in Galveston for my third relay with teammates at IMTX 70.3. We decided to celebrate our…read morefinish at Yamato Japanese Restaurant. I had no idea about the food reality in Texas. Off the Gulf of Mexico not known for Japanese food. I was surprise but the food was really good. The outside plan thinking Japanese restaurant. The moment walk inside has all Japanese vibe from interior decor, and sushi bar upfront is nice. The menu for the most part traditional items but also do daily specials. I settled on the teriyaki dinner with mushrooms (optional can do it without). It comes with miso soup, house salad, rice (brown rice as option), and vegetables. Everything was tasty. Good portion. I believe all under $20. I also wanted to try sushi got speciality roll. Legit. Service no doubt five stars. Warm welcome, friendly, attentive, and awesome. If in Galveston area and need Japanese fix. I would recommend Yamato Japanese Restaurant. Winnah!

I have been to their other location, but this is my first time coming to this one. We came for (HH)…read moreand I believe, this is the only location that has HH. It's a nice space and is decently sized. We sat at the bar, and HH prices are available in the entire restaurant. Happy hour is M-F from 4pm-7pm. This happy hour did not disappoint. Great food and great value. Happy hour wine is $5.25. Draft beers are $5 and imports are $4.25. We shared an Italian Salad for $11.75 (it's not on happy hour and a pic is attached). It was really good and we really enjoyed it. The real star of the show was the catfish. We got it fried and the HH price was $6.25 (pic attached). It was amazing and they give you an ample amount. We even got another order to go. The bartender/waiter was very friendly and provided good service. This place is a must try for happy hour.

It's been five years since the last review so it was definitely time for an update and add a few…read moreupdated pictures. We arrived here on a Tuesday during happy hour when the drinks are pretty cheap. They do have a handful of craft beers on tap and they do have a full bar, even frozen margaritas. I got the shrimp plate and my wife decided on the expensive red snapper which was about $38. The snapper was wonderfully fried and absolutely delicious she said. My shrimp plate lived up to expectations. My 8 ounce frozen margaritas were also worth every penny. Two things I was surprised not to see, there is no fish and chips plate other than catfish, and they do not have any vinegar. If you're looking to have a private party, they actually have an enclosed room off to the side which can fit quite a few people. It's tough to get five stars out of me, but they definitely have the right formula working for them here with great food at a great price with good service. I also like the fact they don't charge you 3% for using a credit card. Definitely one of the best spots on the island to get your seafood fix.

I got to enjoy all of those things last night in the company of our new friends at Mario's! Dishes we enjoyed were the Rigatoni in vodka sauce, pasta and Alfredo sauce but the pinnacle of the servings was the daily special of a freshly caught redfish, lightly breaded and sautéed in butter paired with green beans, served over linguine in a light creamed lemon sauce. Fantastic!!! The service was great and to top it off we indulged with their homemade gelato! Chocolate Hazelnut and Almond for me, a Grapefruit sorbet along with many other options we just had to sample. The staff is well trained and it was a pleasure to share our evening with them. Mario's is a must when in Galveston. Oh, and the seaside views are also hard to beat which adds a nice atmosphere to enjoy in the company of great people.

First off - since 1911 - the heritage alone = a must try…read more Nice spot with views of the Gulf. While dated (one might think) - it just adds to the charm and experience from my perspective. Our granddaughter on the other-hand - (9) - exclaimed upon walking in that she thought she was on the Titanic ; ) I found the wood finishes and vintage photos rich and nicely done. Granddaughter thoroughly loved her oysters for dinner and our grandsons raved about their dishes too. My wife and I shared the Gulf Shrimp and Catfish platters - both fresh and fried to perfection. Appetizers of fried crab fingers and the lump crab meat with avocado had us from the start along with the starter bread - which one could eat their weight in - so pace yourself - wonderfully delicious. Pleasant attentive staff and hostesses. Highly recommend you enjoy this Galveston landmark !

My wife and I had a reservation from OpenTable. Of course the restaurant was selected for fine…read moredining, it's historical significance and location. Price was not a consideration for our date night. Problem number one was there was no oil for the bread, then we were asked if we wanted any rather than them kindly bringing it out for us. We would need the bread because with a reservation it took over an hour for the food to come out. After taking a ten minute walk to the seawall, the wine had finally arrived, ridiculously priced. By the time the food came out, it was nothing you could find any place else. My wife ordered the sampler platter, and it was bland and frankly just not very good. It came with a large portion of rice, I guess the wanted to fill you up on rice. I just ordered a Greek salad and a dozen grilled oysters, after asking for Oysters Rockefeller, they said they didn't have but it was quite identical. Yes, it was the off season but it was horrible. They delivery boy even failed to bring a fork for the oysters. Again, this is after waiting for an hour and $164.00 later, it was far from what I had expected at that price point. I don't like to leave "bad" reviews, but this is a matter of fact. It should have so much better. I would have picked the San Luis.

Put a bad taste in our mouth on this place, we had heard good. There was a busser, with rainbow hair and was very kind, polite, and friendly during our meal. It says something about when the table busser is more polite than the checker. It was our first time and we weren't aware of the ordering: for those who aren't aware, you order and find a seat wherever you can, and the servers bring out your food to you. Not what we expected but wasn't bad. 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.
