ssb Posted March 31, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Hey all looking to snarf down some good seafood for dinner when we arrive in Galveston in August , hoping to get some raw oysters , and maybe soft shell crab , we are stayin at the Howard Johnson on harbour drive , what's good ,price and food wise , also are there any good bbq places near by as well There are two restaurants near by On offits bayou next to HW 45 Coming into Galveston on right. Clary's and number13. These are better ones. See menus for your own evaluation. There really is nothing else. The motel is in industrial port area. Everything is close though for the island small in the developed area. 2 miles wide and about 70 - 80 blocks long. On Harborside at port and downtown there are a number of restaurants. For BBQ go to Leon's , Leo's or queens. Edited March 31, 2014 by ssb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galveston Cruiser Posted March 31, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I doubt you will find any fresh raw oysters as they will be out season. Months ending in R is the season. Lots of really good restaurants here. Recommend the locally owned over the chains. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need cool water temps for them to be good. Though I question September as it is still too warm. Check out Galveston.com for restaurants. There are menus attached.
