5 Best Steakhouses in Galveston

“Had drinks at the bar in the lounge to begin the evening - the tequila old fashioned, the espresso martini, and the lemon drop martini were on point!

From there we were welcomed and seated by the manager (Mr. B) and greeted by our waiter (Joshua). Both of whom have that knack for making you feel like you’re the most important party in the building. They set the tone for a great experience and Joshua does an outstanding job of anticipating the table’s needs so you never feel like you’re “waiting” for anything.

We started with apps that the table shared. The tuna tartare was phenomenal .. it’s a great go to if you love fresh tuna .. but the wasabi is real and it doesn’t play so go lightly. The pork belly brings an amazing sweet and smoky element with it. And the escargot is delicious .. don’t miss the chance to dip the bread into the butter and stuff left in the dish once the escargot has been enjoyed.

Tuesday nights are the Surf and Turf special - $35 lobster tail and filet. You can add any of the usual steak topping to it for a slight charge (the blackened crab or smoked mushroom sauce are both outstanding) .. but the demi-glacé on the filet stands on its own as well. Can’t go wrong with that. We’ve eaten here multiple times .. and there’s really no wrong answer on a menu that has something for everyone on it.

Overall .. while it seems like the newer restaurants in Galveston are more often discussed and suggested .. Shearn’s is as good as (or better than) it’s ever been. Perfect place to watch an amazing sunset .. have a perfectly crafted cocktail .. and enjoy an amazing meal while you’re taken care of by great service.“

“Vargas is over the top delicious!! One of the best steaks I’ve ever had!!“

“Excellent food. We had the filet and shrimp dinner and the ribs dinner; both were great. There was a wait, but the staff worked efficiently and pumped out a great product.“

“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.“
