“The two girls working behind the candy counter today (9/23) were AMAZING! They were so kind and patient, answered every question I had, and directed me right to exactly what I was looking for! They honestly made our day so much better. It’s not often that you have a customer service experience that leaves you walking out happier than you walked in, but they absolutely did that for us. Excellent customer service and easily the best candy shop I’ve been to in Galveston so far! (And I’ve tried several lol.) 🍭🍬”

“We had a great experience at Shearn’s Seafood and Steak! Our server, Damien, was fantastic. The restaurant has that polished, upscale feel you’d expect from a place like this, but Damien’s great sense of humor made the experience feel relaxed and genuinely enjoyable.

The service was effortless from start to finish—attentive without being intrusive, professional without feeling stiff. Exactly the kind of service you hope for at a restaurant of this caliber.

And of course, the food and atmosphere were wonderful, too. We’ll definitely be back!”

The food at Coop’s is absolutely delicious. Fall off the bone ribs, super tender brisket, great side , and the best banana pudding I have ever tasted. The prices were very reasonable with large portions. Highly recommend you give this play a try.”

“BEST brisket tacos, charro beans & rice, salsa & queso, and margaritas I’ve ever had!!! I’m a native Texan and Mexican food devotee, this place is truly amazing.

“Let me tell you about my evening at the Shrimp Shack in Galveston—it was the kind of experience that makes you want to write poetry about fried seafood. The shrimp? Perfectly golden, crispy, and so fresh I swear they waved at me from the fryer. Each bite was like a little crunchy hug from the Gulf. And as if that wasn’t enough, the sunset decided to show off. Sitting there, stuffing my face with fried shrimp while the sky turned shades of pink and orange, I felt like I’d hit the jackpot of simple pleasures. Shrimp, sunset, and sea breeze—what more could you want? Highly recommend. 10/10, would shrimp again.”

“Island Time became our watering hole on our recent vacation and we were so happy with our experience. The staff was amazing, especially Julie and Josh, the drinks were fantastic, the food was your typical bar food but it was good, and the drag show was entertaining. The only negative that our group had to say was that the drag performers were a little too push for tips; literally putting their hand in front of you for a tip. This happened a few times to us, and others, and when we tipped them one of them rolled their eyes and said “that’s it”. Other than that, we had a great time and would totally go back to this fun and welcoming place.”

“Probably the best classic hamburger I’ve had on the island!”

“They are doing it right, so delicious! Used to own a Bubble Tea shop call Pure Leaf Bubble Cafe in Cranbrook, BC Canada so I'd know what good bubble tea taste like 😉 10/10 for flavor definitely a must stop!”

“beyond excellent service and food. thank you given me extra. I'll definitely come back to you. much love from Mike from Iowa.”

“Stopped by on the way home from our anniversary trip and was pleasantly surprised. I drink ALOT of coffee and try every place I can and I can honestly say this is hands down the best coffee I have ever had!! Will def be coming back anytime we are in Galveston!!”

“They have the best Jeera rice I’ve ever eaten and the Dal Tadka is also fabulous, even if it’s a bit spicier than I normally prefer. Everything I’ve had from Coastal is delicious and they’re one of my island favorites.”
