The atmosphere is the best part. Slow service. Calamari was chewy and unflavorful.

This place has it all from fried pickles to seared salmon!!!! We celebrated my daughter’s 30th birthday here and don’t regret at all!!! You can even use an app to play the music you want to hear.

When I say EVERYTHING that all 13 of us ordered was devoured….. please believe me!!!

When you go, tell them LeAnn from Dallas sent you!!:)

Went in tonight at 9 30. Waited, waited, waited, and waited some more. I guess they don't want business or money. Had to walk out.

Alexis R was great she didn’t miss a beat and the atmosphere was perfect for opening weekend of college football. Diablo shrimp was suuuuuper good and the hurricane is sneaky. Be ye careful.

Atmosphere is still great here, but the drinks are not what they used to be, rum punches now taste like a grapefruit breakfast drink the last couple times I’ve been here. Takes away from the tropical feel when you’re forced to just have a beer.

After our experience Friday night we will NEVER return. My group sat at a table upstairs around 10:00pm. When no one came to greet us at the table we chose, I approached the bar. In doing so the manager, DESIREE, refused us service. She claimed to have been observing my boyfriend since we had arrived 5-10 minutes ago and that he "looks too drunk” and his “eyes are glossy". My boyfriend was holding the table for us at this point, so I double checked to make sure she was in fact talking about him. My confusion was obvious but she was persistent on her decision.

I myself have worked at a bar for years and know when to refuse a guest. My boyfriend was NOT slurring his speech, tripping over himself, acting rude, or being disruptive. We had a long day out in the sun at the beach and he had one single drink at dinner prior to us arriving. Glossy eyes can be associated with many other things such as fatigue, allergies, dehydration, dry eyes, medications, and digital eye strain.

Not a single staff member, including DESIREE, had any interaction with my boyfriend let alone stand within 20 feet of him. I know DESIREE was not able to see his “glossy eyes” from the distance she had been. When DESIREE was attempting to leave the bar and avoid any further interaction, my boyfriend confronted her. She was very disrespectful trying to walk away while he was talking to her. When she repeated her claim to him he was disappointed and confused. He tried explaining to her why that claim isn’t fair, but she did not care to listen. She did not have the curtesy to give us a valid reason for being refused.

Had a great time. Food was amazing. We were full after the appetizer, so we went back later for the main course. It was busy, so we sat at the bar. Watching the bar tender make drinks was entertaining! She was very personable and made sure our drinks were full.

This was one of the few places open on a Saturday night until 11 pm that had a big menu with lots of variety. There are 4 differently themed bars but all the food comes out of a singular kitchen, all the menus are the same. Very well decorated and outdoors. They have plenty of heaters on and the patios were covered.. Probably a cool spot in the summer when it's bright and the ocean is visible. Speaking of which, The ocean water cocktail was very sweet but that's how I prefer it. It didn't taste like alcohol but it sure made an impact on my sobriety very quickly. My wife enjoyed her rum punch, but compared to how the ocean water tasted, the Alcohol was very prevalent. We got mozzarella sticks and they were MASSIVE. Nice and crunchy, great red dipping sauce, albeit slightly thin (watery) but good flavor. I got the Ralph burger, and GET THE BACON JAM. that stuff is delicious. The burger was huge, stacked with fried onion strips, and the waffle fries were perfectly seasoned and crispy. My wife got the grilled veggies with onion rings, the veggies hit the spot. She felt the onion rings were slightly undercooked, but I thought they were OK. Definitely could have been in the oil an extra 20 seconds. My wife got a mai Thai as her second drink and she was out for the count after that. I didn't see dessert on their menu but I I think one of the rooms had an ice cream shop in it. Will definelty come back here if we cruise out of Galveston again!
