“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.”

“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.”

“@redlightcoffeeroasters in Galveston, TX 🚨 Located on Market St. near where the cruise ships come in and out of port, it has easy access via a door at the top of the steps. 🚨 I fell in love with the vibe as soon as i walked in.. ALL of the island/port/industrial vibes are there from the pipe/edison bulb fixtures to the numerous thriving plants. 🚨I ordered my usual “hi! Ive never been here before, so will you please surprise me? I drink decaf, iced beverages, with non-dairy creamer.. i have no allergies and i love everything!” (Believe it or not i can tell if im going to get a good drink or not based on the barista’s reaction to this order—and i KNEW i would get a good one here.. its something about the way their eyes light up with excitement when you give them the creative freedom to make you something so delicious that you want to return for another coffee the next day). 🚨 I ended up with an iced down cup full of decaffeinated oatmilk goodness… with just the right amount of ice. Not so much that it was watered down by the end, but not so little that the last sip was hot either. Just the right amount of sweetness (which for me is in the middle).. literally the PERFECT cup of coffee… 🚨 10/10 you gotta come down here if you’re in Galveston! I will definitely be back here several times, and will probably snag one of those awesome shirts! #redlightcoffeeroasters #galveston #traveltexas”

The Steakhouse 5222 Seawall Blvd, Galveston Steak House • $$$$

“I had the Steakhouse Skewer with lobster, filet mignon, and colossal shrimp. It was fabulous, but next time my husband and I will share it. So much food! We were staying at another resort and had no way to take home the leftovers. Our waiter, Ricardo, was absolutely amazing. He made everything so wonderful. My only complaint, which is huge, is about the majority of the clientele. Loud, obnoxious, men wearing backwards caps and shorts in a very elegant atmosphere. When i go to a rather expensive restaurant, I would expect to see better behavior. So many were acting like it was a sports bar.”

Murdochs 2215 Seawall Blvd, Galveston Bar • $$

“I have visited Murdoch for years visiting in Galveston, Texas. The store is nice. The prices are reasonable however, their store policy before closing time they stop letting customers enter 15 minutes before when the store is not officially close., if a merchant says they are open till 7 PM. The door should be open till 7 PM but they close the doors on customers and turn them away., they only open the doors to allow customers in the store to leave. Bad business Murdoch your customers are what make you and if someone has to enter for whatever reason whether it’s water or to use the lady or men’s room, it should be allowed until 7 PM”

We ordered Tilapia Chipotle which had a tasty shrimp sauce and a side of Charro beans. I tried Taquitos Chilango with Charro beans for the first time. Will definitely order this dish again. Finished with freshly made Churros and Sopapillas. Have dined there about once a month because the food is fresh and well-prepared. They have karaoke night every Friday for those who can (or cannot) sing.”

“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.”

It's romantic, warm, and still accommodating for larger groups. The vibe feels elevated, but relaxed. I made a reservation but I didn't need to. If you're familiar with this time of year on the island, it's usually a bit of a ghost town. We parked directly in front of the restaurant and the hostess immediately greeted and seated us. She even recognized my name from the reservation list which was a nice touch.”

Blossoms Pizza 1 Hope Blvd, Galveston Pizza • $$

“The service was not good. The girl that waited on us seem like she didn’t want to be there. We ordered our pizza at 9:07 pm and did not receive it till 9.50 pm. There was a family there before us that was still waiting on their ice cream. I ordered and went to the front desk and came back and they still had not had their ice cream.. Finally, some other people came into the back and things seem to get a little better. They finally ask us what kind of pizza we were waiting on like maybe they had lost our order. Then finally after that, we got our pizza and and we went back to our room to eat. And it was actually pretty good.
And as far as the hotel goes, it was not as great as I expected it to be after waiting all these years to stay there. For the money I paid I expected a little more. I have got better satisfaction out of lower end hotel chains. But that’s for another review somewhere else but overall the main reason we stayed was for the Christmas light experience and Iceland, which we enjoyed very much.”
