Restaurants near Crystal Beach

“Absolutely love coming back every time we’re in town”

“We came down to our place at the coast to celebrate New Years Eve. Then decided to go to Tia Juanita’s Fish Camp for an early afternoon dinner. Decor, atmosphere, service and most of all, the shrimp brochette, jalapeño cheese grits and sautéed vegetables were awesome. Highly, highly recommend Tia Juanita’s. Have never had a bad meal! (Just wish they would expand to Canyon Lake!!!)”

“The sweet couple that owns this restaurant has fabulous food, frappes with homemade ingredients and went out of their way to make sure my daughter had a special Birthday! Highly recommend!”

“Best snow cone I’ve had! This is a must every time I come to the island. Great customer service. I recommend you to skip the drive thru! The wait time is insane.”

“I would’ve left a 1 star review for the last time we went because of the bad experience we had with the worker that attended us on Sunday morning (she had facial piercings and a tattoo) she charged us with two scoops and only gave us one and said she ran out of the big cups. But on Saturday we went and the older woman and the male were kind and amazing!! They let us taste multiple gelato flavors! Highly recommend if you’re visiting the beach!!! The Dubai chocolate was amazing!”

“Found this gem here on Bolivar Peninsula. Delicious Breakfast Burritos & salsa. Wonderful customer service. Fresh ingredients & a nice sitting area. Looking forward to trying all the items they offer. Definitely a must try. You won’t be disappointed. Absolutely loved it!! Thank you for having delicious food at a great price.”

“The chicken Bacon Ranch on the thick crust is the best Pizza I have ever had I will buy one at least one or two a week . Excellent job . I would recommend it to everyone I know and see .”

“Food was great and our server Leah Anne took care of us. She took our order correctly and made sure we didn’t need anything. We will be back!”

“Well they have great shrimp. Great price and source for gulf shrimp. Have some other things but service is not one of them. It's ok. Beats buying your own boat and getting them yourself.”

“Always well seasoned, spicy and delicious! A great option for take out but there are also picnic tables. They open early and have breakfast tacos too!I think they are still cash only so bring some greenbacks.”

“We love Justina at Finns bar and grill. Her attention to detail and her friendly way with the customers keeps us coming back! Thank you Justina!!”

“Me and a friend ate there a few weeks ago and it was great. Loved the homemade chips. Also had the best fried shrimp I’ve had in years. The service was fantastic as well!!”

“Great Place to eat and socialize.”

“First, I walked in to a clean friendly family environment, and I was instantly welcomed. I got their chicken strips, which were cooked to perfection. Gravy was delicious. AND I got a unique plate of beef pho. I was nervous but it surprised me. I'm so thankful for my waitress Miss Jade with red hair. Who took the time to talk to me about her menu. Handle my specific requests with kindness, and overall, give me a great experience. So thank you jade”

“Great food. Their breakfast is a nice selection, also.”

“We go to the beach quite a bit during the summer and sporadically throughout the rest of the year. This is one place that is isn't compromised. The food is GREAT! We eat breakfast here every morning they are open when we are in town! The staff is great as well! There is one guy that works there, though I can't remember his name, but he's tall, thin, white, and bald. He's wonderful, full of smiles, and great stories!! 5 star review!!!”

“Went to Tiki today 10/8/22. There was a group of us that flew in, I guess 13 in all. They were doing a good business today with several tables full of customers. They allowed us to pull tables together for our group. Even having several customers and light on staff our drink orders were taken promptly. As we all visited the waitress took our orders and for our size group the food came out in a timely manner. Everyone was happy with their food and no complaints as far as timing. Our group will be going back!!!!”

“Awesome hidden gem!! Great tasting food with great customer service. Will Definitely come back here......👍”

“Dane our server was outstanding! We had the Bloody Mary with a soft-shelled crab and oyster platter! Food was amazing!!”

“Loaded up pretty fast coming through Galveston you have to ride the ferry across n then the 1st blinking lights turn left go to the end of road n then turn right go down n to the end turn right n back up down the street”

“Quality food, quality service and spotless! Family owned and operated and their pride in delivering a great product to customers shows. Ditch the over-priced, made-up brunch places and eat here instead.”

“We eat here most trips to Bolivar. I love seafood but my wife doesn’t, so we both have good choices here. Never had a bad experience here either. Nice folks every time.”

“The food was absolutely amazing! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The service made the experience even better—Maria was so kind, attentive, and friendly. She checked on us throughout our meal and made sure we had everything we needed. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend The Porch Cafe if you’re in Galveston. We’ll definitely be back!”
