About Noah's Ark Restaurant & Palapa Bar on Galveston Bay

Noah's Ark Restaurant & Palapa Bar on Galveston Bay offers a laid-back dining experience with a focus on comfort food and a great view. The restaurant is known for its seafood menu, especially the grill oysters at 50 cents each, which are considered amazing by many visitors. The fish plates and tuna tostada are also popular choices. Breakfast is highly praised, with some guests enjoying the breakfast menu, though others wish certain items like Noah's Benedict would return. The upstairs bar area provides a nice spot to relax with drinks, while the first floor or outdoor seating offers a pleasant dining environment.

Service quality varies; some guests find the staff friendly but sometimes not very attentive, often due to being short-staffed.

We live in Austin, but every time we visit Bacliff we go to Noah's ark even 3 times a day during our weekend, their breakfast is very good, but what I love the most is their seafood menu. The grill oysters are amazing, the tuna tostada, and fish plates are our favorites. Second floor I believe is the smokers area, so we always eat in the first floor, or outside it's awesome as well.

The workers are very nice as well.

Went a few weeks ago and the service was AWFUL. We ordered the kids food first and it took 30 plus minutes to come out.

the staff and food are terrible. I would not recommend it to anybody
