    Spicy GBS burger
    Jo-ann H.

    This is an excellent spot by the beach to enjoy a meal and a few drinks. The view alone makes it worth the visit, and our server provided outstanding service. We ordered the crawfish and snow crab, which unfortunately were a bit bland. However, the Spicy SBG burger was really good and definitely a highlight of the meal. The drinks were decent as well. They also have live music downstairs, which added a fun and lively touch to the experience. Overall, it's a great place for the atmosphere and service, even if some of the food could use a bit more flavor. It's a nice local spot worth checking out.

    Great area to spend a long summer weekend and the restaurant literally sits right on the beach. The Frozen drinks looked great coming off the bar but I stuck with a local brew for my Shrimp and Chicken basket and then a Corona with the neck dipped in salt for my patio/deck time. Food was fantastic and the staff provided great service. Good food, good drinks and the beach ..... You can't go wrong here.

    Came here when we first pulled into town. Very cute and clean, the waitress was very nice, the food was pretty good, I had a mushroom Swiss burger that was really good.. definitely would eat here again.

    Great place to come to. Feels cleaner than a couple other local places. Was a bit pricey but not too bad , we did order extras. Food was great! Definitely will be back!

    Grilled Mahi
    Robert C.

    We went on a Saturday evening with a large party and they were able to seat us no problem. Service took a little bit but I have zero complaints with the service. Our server did an amazing job. Food was very good. The mahi was cooked perfect. Great place to go and sit on the water. I would recommend going!

    Mission accomplished!

    Fantastic spot! Quick service, great burger, fish & shrimp tacos, crispy fries. Badass Bloody Mary but get a side shooter

    We have been eating here for years. They serve typical bar food, great onion rings and calamari. The bottomless chips and warm salsa were great. Fun beach drinks. Superior location for outdoor eating on the beach. Paige was our server and she was awesome.

    Shrimp Boil

    Great customer service and the food was delicious. Our waitress was absolutely amazing. She turned our frowns upside with her service. Thank you.

    Grilled Salmon, Mac & Cheese, Mashed Potatoes
    Sarah W.

    The food here was really yummy but our server didn't really have any answers to our questions. I got the grilled mahi with green beans and a side salad with balsamic dressing and I really enjoyed it, especially the mango salsa! I will note that the side salad can only be the house salad and not swapped for something else like a Caesar. My friend got the grilled salmon with Mac n cheese and mashed potatoes and while the salmon was fantastic she said the Mac and cheese and potatoes didn't stand out. The ambiance was great, we sat outside and it looks right over the beach. I would recommend wearing sun protection though because, while it is covered, you will most likely still be at least partially in the sun. Would come again!

    Homemade Bottomless Chips and Salsa
    Karen C.

    The most perfect view from the balcony! It was a very windy chilly day but the sun was very warm and warmed the soul. Homemade chips and salsa had just the right amount of spice for a wonderful bite. The salsa comes out warm temperature too. The sweet tea was wonderfully made in house, not fountain like most places. My sever had the best fun attitude. So helpful answering questions about different food choices. The crows and sea gulls were fun to watch and loved eating chips from hand! The grilled shrimp were awesome. Cooked to perfection. Seasoned great. The cocktail sauce had a good kick too. If you want a casual place to eat with an unobstructed view of the Gulf, this is your place!!

    Yankee Fish & Chips

    Decent food and good beverages for a beachside restaurant. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Clean and easy to get to but parking can be a pain during busy hours

    Another great experience at Seahorse! I just can't seem to go and not order the Texas Redfish. It is so good! Took my dad tonight who was in town visiting, as I recently moved to Texas. He said it was the best fish he has ever had. Corbin was fabulous! He provided above excellent service. Can't wait to come back again!

    My go to when visiting surf side beach. It's one of the only places there but it's bomb. Drinks are always good and staff is super friendly. The outdoor seating right by the water is such a vibe. I've had many things from their menu but I'd say my faves are the boudin balls, wings and shrimp tacos.

Their patio and views were amazing and so relaxing. The cutest restaurant indoor/outdoor. We also had our dog which they accommodated with some water. She also made friends with the sweet manager Erin (i think! Hopefully we got it right). Food was good and vibes were better. Will definitely be stopping by next time we are going to or coming from Galveston.

Our greeting when we came in was not the most friendly, woman behind the bar didn't even smile and mumbled something that I assume was our greeting. Our server, though nice, seemed very new and inexperienced. But she seemed to be nervously trying to do a good jobl My drink order never was what I ordered. I think there was confusion with the server and woman behind the bar. Our server didn't seem old enough to serve it to me, it was broght over by bar tender. It was pricey for not ever really getting what I requested. The day we were there, they had one of the garage doors open and the front door as well. It was so cold in there, we almost left to go elsewhere as I suspected the food would be cold before it got to the table to be eaten. After our 2nd request, they finally closed the one garage door,, but was still a bit chilly. Then they told us they just put the heater on. (the heater helped but have entry door open to bring food in from food trailer) We didn't realize the food was made in an outside trailer and walked inside. I got the crawfish tail ? Ettofee baked potato ? Ettofee sp?. Although The potato was well baked, and the sauce was Very good, there was only 4 or 5 very small crawfish tails on it. I ended up taking it home with me as it just wouldn't stay warm enough for me to eat more of it. I wish they would of had some type of thermal box, or cover to bring the food in from the outside trailer to the table... My husband had a mushroom swiss burger which was good, and some really delicious flat shaped fries, but again, keeping our food warm enough to eat it was not the best situation. There were some really good looking things on the menu, but it was just too cold in there that day. During nice weather, I'm sure our experience would have been much better, as it seems like a really nice place with a very nice patio with great view.

    SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE! They sat us at a table in the back, without giving us menus or asking about…read moredrinks or anything. We waited for 20 minutes and none of the servers even made eye contact with us, let alone take our orders. Still didn't have menus at this point. We watched the servers take care of the tables next to us during that time, but they didn't approach us. Eventually, I just held my hand up to see if they would get the cue to come to the table. They continued to pretend like they didn't see us. We just got up and walked out at that point. I yelled "Thanks for the great service", and they just gave "have a nice night" as if nothing happened. No attempt to console us. Total lack of respect and decency. They pick favorites out of their customers and ignore you if they don't like how you look. Don't waste your money on that shithole. Also, there are serious racism vibes. I would not feel safe there if I were a person of color.

The first level of the establishment is right on the water. It is very very casual. One guy showed up in swim trunks, a cowboy hat, no shirt, and no shoes. The area is open, so there is no AC in that part of the bar. They have large fans to cool the area, but I was still hot. They have large round picnic tables, high bistro type tables, and a bar seating area. The bistro tables have very uncomfortable chairs. They are those small metal stackable chairs. Some have backs and others have no backs. Even the tiniest butts would not find those seats comfortable. I stood for the majority of the time. Dollar bills are stapled to the wall and ceiling from previous customers each with a saying, a name, and/or the date. They have one unisex restroom downstairs. There was a line each time I needed to go. The crowd seemed to be locals and people who work there and recently got off their shift. I think that is pretty common in these type beach bars. The energy was happy and everyone was nice. They play great music. During our stay, I heard Elvis (twice!), ABBA, Willie Nelson, other 70's artists, and some country. They also have live music. We left before the set started because we had to get home to Houston. The service was good. Our waitress was very attentive. We had the ceviche and shrimp Jammers to split. The Jammers are fried with gooey goodness inside. 5 Jammers to an order. They are really good, so I highly recommend those. The ceviche was refreshing. It came with tortilla chips and a large slice of avocado. They have very good drinks, plus whatever you might like bottled. The two of us each had two drinks. Our drinks and food totaled to $56.00 before tip. Good place to visit. Can't do anything about the heat, but it would be nice if they changed their seating.
