$14 for 12 oysters? That's a deal. Drinks were OK, felt kinda lite. But quality was good and we had a good time. Thanks.
This place came highly recommended by a friend who knew we were going to Galveston for a visit. Fabulous experience.
Crawfish etouffee was delicious, and Barbie was an awesome server!

I loved it! Oysters on the halfshell and an oyster poboy to go. Delicious!
Oysters were decently sized and clean. The poboy was loaded! The horseradish was the best ever. I loved this little corner place!

There was one server. Apparently the other one called out sick. That said, she was great! As a former server myself I can recognize the effort amd positive attitude. The food was delicious and the portions were really generous. Now my favorite part, OYSTERS!!! $14 Happy Hour for a dozen oysters! They were huge and delicious π. I am going back for more tomorrow!

Food was great, everything else was horrible.
No sweet tea available, no coke available. Lemonade tasted like water with a few drops of artificial flavor. Out of gator bites.
Karla was our server. She had a horrible attitude, never once apologized for anything. Never made an attempt to make up for the frustration of everything we wanted be out.
If it wasn't for the great food, we would habe walked out without paying.

One of the best local places on Galveston Island. Food is always amazing, Huge portions at a great value. Bonus they use fresh seafood from the gulf including fresh gulf shrimp. Chelsie was our server and did a fantastic job. We have been coming for years and we always recommend this local island gem when people ask.

My husband and i came in for lunch today. It wasn't very packed but we were happily surprised by the food. We got a cup of gumbo, which was really the size of a bowl lol.... it was very good. I got the shrimp cocktail and fried fish plate with onion rings and my husband got a grilled chicken sandwich. The plates were bigger than the table lol but super fresh and cooked very well. We definitely couldn't eat it all but we packed up what we could to go. ALVIS was an awesome server. Thanks!

Ate here several years ago and we loved the oysters. Went back today and there were no oysters. None. The visit felt really odd, felt kind of out of place. Not the experience I remembered from years ago.

I eat the lunch specials here often and usually they are super delicious. However, this is the 1st time I had tried their chicken fried chicken and it was WAY over cooked, dry and very bland. I had to add my own garlic, salt and pepper.

I took my wife here for lunch today and it was one of the more frustrating dining experiences Iβve had. The restaurant wasnβt busy at all. it was us and one other table so there really wasnβt any excuse for what we experienced.
Our server dropped off our food, walked away, and then sat a few feet from us on her phone watching TikTok the entire time. She never once checked on us, asked if we needed anything, or offered refills. We each took a few bites of our food and stopped because it was truly disgusting, and we sat there waiting to see if she would notice or come by, she never did.
Eventually, I had to flag her down just to get the check. She picked up two barely touched plates and still didnβt ask if anything was wrong or if we needed anything. No acknowledgment whatsoever.
I understand bad days happen, but completely ignoring customers like that⦠especially when the restaurant is nearly empty, is unacceptable.
