Eating at Galveston

[T-N-C]

I am tring to find a good place to eat for a large group in Galveston. Any suggestions? Wanting something different that we can't get at home.

Galveston equals seafood.

 

Fisherman's Wharf would be a good choice.

Convenient, too. Located next to and the Strand near the cruise terminal.

How many ?

And do you want chain ?

Or local?

[T-N-C]

10-15 depending on when some arrive and prefer local

Marios on the Seawall. Great view of the Gulf while you eat.

I suggest Guido's or Casey's. Same resturaunt Guido's is the fancy side and Casey's is the casual side. Food is cooked in the same kitchen. We loved it and it is a local. It is on the seawall.

It's Gaido's at 39th & Seawall.

They are owned by the same family, however, they do not use the same kitchen. You cannot get the same food at Casey's that you get at Gaido's. Gaido's is definitely my favorite in Galveston and I love their shrimp bisque.

Another vote for Gaido's.

We were told they used the same kitchen. I wonder why they would lie about it? We were not dressed for Guido's so we went to Casey's and really liked it.

I don't know why they told you that...the food is good at Casey's too. But, there menus are different and you definitely can't get the shrimp bisque at Casey's. I had heard that too at one time, but talked to the manager and he said no...that they have two separate kitchens. We've been eating at Gaido's (and sometimes Casey's) for about 35 years! :eek: Casey's also used to be open for breakfast back in the day, but no more.

Actually, there are three kitchens: Casey's, Gaido's and the Pelican Club (private), all with different menus.

If you want great food that locals eat, it's Shrimp n Stuff on Avenue O. It's a hole in the wall, but FANTASTIC!!

Anyone know if Salt Grass Steak house is still operating? We ate there before the major hurricane hit. It was fantastic and reasonable

[Letmelivehereplease]

I'm sure salt grass is still around

[Galveston Cruiser]

Salt Grass is on Seawall Blvd and was one of the first restaurants open after Ike.

I too enjoy eating at Salt Grass however, it is a chain that you can find in many locations. You may want to consider some of the local restaurants previously mentioned instead.

 

We are heading to Galveston from central Texas tomorrow for a 1/5 cruise on Crown Princess and look forward to fresh seafood! (But we haven't yet decided where we'll eat either :p )

These are local.

Some have happy hour menus M-F 4-7

ask for special menus and some require sitting at bar.

Rudi and Pacos (no shorts except at bar) reservations recomended.

thanks. We ate there on 2 occasions and really enjoyed it. Did not know they were a chain as we don't have any in our area of country. Glad they recovered from Ike.....I knew it was a bad one.

Yes and food is consistently good!

It's still around but a chain. I can get that here in Colorado.

 

Shrimp and stuff looks like an interesting place. Already planned on hitting the Spot. Keep the ideas coming!
