14 Best Seafood Restaurants near Crystal Beach

“We came from out of state for the Crab festival and stopped by the Nauti Beaver for food and drinks. Great place, the food, drinks and a couple of our servers were great. We went back numerous during our short stay. Just wish I would have grabbed the apparel like I was planning. Wish I could order one online. We will back again next year when we go to Texas.“

“Best place to get fresh gulf shrimp. We have been looking for a place to get fresh seafood in Crystal Beach since we began coming 4 years ago. We FINALLY found the Monster Shrimp Man and are glad we did. Seafood is fresh, not frozen, and you can tell it. Service is friendly too. We will go back for certain.“

“Great Place to eat and socialize.“

“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!!!)“

“Love Hardheads atmosphere and staff!!“

“Just moved to Port Bolivar and the lunch special pizza and wings is an awesome value for my family! We will definitely be coming once a week for lunch! Staff is awesome as well!“

“Just picked up supper and the food was delicious! The flavors were authentic and we were very satisfied. We have found the owners and staff very friendly!“

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

“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!!!!“

“Shrimp and Crab boil were a little dry, but the flavor is good. Needs a bit more spice in the boil. Sampler platter was great, calamari is great. Pizza is sooo good. Can't wait to go back.“

“What a lovely afternoon at the Porch! We arrived as a group of 6 and were seated promptly. Dalton provided excellent service, taking our food orders and answering questions. Every item was cooked perfectly and plated beautifully. We all enjoyed the experience start to finish. We will definitely return and bring friends with us.“

“I really enjoyed cigar night there. The vibe was great and the music was very chilled. Everyone was so welcoming and the customers offering anyone a cigar.“

“The food is classic tex-mex or seafood.
Offering a full menu of both.
(Hint the soft shell crab plate does not have Michelin stars, but it should ! Wow, what a fantastic meal ! )

Family owned, with friendly staff. There's beer, comfortable chairs, outdoor seating was available upon request. I sat outside watching the ships go up the channel,, in front of the Galveston skyline. People can pick up to go orders. Port Bolivar is lucky to have such a great food service location, if you're in the area I definitely recommend eating here. La Playita did not disappoint, the prices were more than fair and the tea glass stayed full !

Vegetarian options: Yeah just say no meat.
Remember cheese enchiladas will also make you fat.“
