46 Best Seafood Restaurants near La Marque

“Just moved to the area and I love this spot super nice owner down to earth & he said he has been in business as long as I have been alive 28 years. Food is hot and fresh made to order open kitchen so you can watch him prepare your order. I also like how he is super helpful with questions or substitutions and the drive-thru is a nice touch. Some would say the interior is dated but I would say it has a charm to it. I will definitely be back to try other food here I had the jalepeno double double burger & spicy fried chicken sandwich both huge, hot, & fresh with perfectly seasoned crinkle cut fries with a side of bbq & hot sauce.“

“I love yall food and I would buy the place if I could.“

“Hidden gem!! We dined-in during our trip over Memorial Day 2021 and we were surprised with how delicious the food was. The salsa that came with the chips & salsa was super flavorful but not overly spicy. Their crab balls are Amazeballs!! You HAVE to order them! So yummy! Best I’ve had anywhere. The Cajun seafood pasta is delicious and is served in a massive portion that can easily be split between 2 people. Generous serving with lots of shrimp, sausage, and chicken. The fried pickles were fantastic. Sharp dills, great thickness, light batter. I ordered a side of red beans & rice as my main dish and it has a great texture and a hint of tart vinegar...would be best paired with cornbread or the amazing crab balls. I had a regular margarita on the rocks. It was ok. It was the most mediocre thing we ordered...so you KNOW the food is good. The music is great. We were here on Saturday from 8:30-10pm and the playlist was a great mix of Motown jams. 10/10 would recommend The Fish Place. We Absolutely recommend dining at this hidden gem!“

“Since moving to Texas eating at Pier 6 has been our favorite dining experience. The food was delicious and mirrored New Orleans finest. Chef Joe Cervantez culinary skills result in delicious food from appetizers, entree to desserts! Our waiter was extraordinary and was so kind and polite. The restaurant sits on Galveston Bay; hence the atmosphere is fun and lively along with a beautiful view.“

“We had the shrimp kisses and shrimp tacos. Both were excellent. Great price point too. And, I love tres leche- their banana tres leche was the best I’ve ever had.“

“Went for the first time on Sunday. Upon entering, we approached the check in/ cashier desk. Wait staff were walking back & forth as we stood & no one said a word. No greeting, not we will be right with you. Not a word! One young lady ( Wish I would have gotten her name) she was sitting right there, preparing serving utensils. She did not say a word as we stood there. I've never felt so uncomfortable, unwelcome, & disregarded! Never! Finally, another wait staff that was helping over at the check out computer, walked over & asked the young lady who was sitting there to assist us! Still, not a word to us! The young lady stood up & with the worse attitude, she asked did we want to sit inside or outside. While I was asking my husband his preference, she rolled her eyes & and rudely asked , " Inside or out!? Again, I wish I had asked her name, but she appeared to be the youngest. Between being disregarded as we walked in & stood, and her attitude, I told my husband I was uncomfortable & wanted to leave! He pushed back & said let's give it a chance beyond this! So we stayed & were seated outside as we preferred. Then comes our waitress! What a pleasant surprise & she turned our experience around! We learned that she had not been there but 3 days or 3 weeks. ( I forget) her name is Amanda & she is pregnant. She's such a pleasant & nice person! We felt badly for sitting outside, because she worked so diligently. It was quite a walk in the heat, because we chose to sit outside on the pier that was a bit of a walk. Again, she was so pleasant & professional! The drinks & food are superb! From the oyster 🦪 appetizers, to the platters! Delicious! Some of the best seafood & side orders, ever! Truly! Drinks are flavorful, delicious, and they aren't stingy or scarce with the liquor. 😆 I would absolutely visit again, but truly afraid of the treatment, unless it's Amanda again“

“This has become our Tuesday nite burger which is the best in town. People are down home and the always make you feel welcome.“

“This was our first time here. We came later for drinks and dessert. The carrot cake was pricey but good. The drinks were good and cold but they do serve outside in plastic glasses. A band was playing and was glad we were on the other side of the bar for it. Love the fact they bring the machine to the table to pay! Do not understand why ALL restaurants do not do this! It make you feel so much safer about paying. It had a little breeze and floor fans but would have been so much better if they had mister fans that were quiet. Hard to talk over the fans. Kat did a great job checking on us and making sure we had our drinks. Wish I lived closer but the next time I am in the area definitely coming back!“

“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.“

“I've been to Pacific Seafood many times and the food is exceptional. We have never been disappointed. The seafood and vegtables are fresh, the presentation is great and everything that we have eaten has been delicious. The atmosphere is nothing special but the food and the service makes up for it.“

“I had his shrimp Cerviche for the first time last week! Absolutely delicious! It was arranged so nicely also! I want his gumbo!!“

“Fresh shrimp (not rubbery), fish tender very fresh, fries and slaw combo, GREAT price $10. Friendly attentive staff clean, but restaurant was a little warm. Totally recommend for a quick and inexpensive meal. Great variety mene, will return!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍!!“

“Love this place service and food is outstanding took my mom for fist time she loved it we had choose 2 shrimp and cat fish fries and slaw desert was bread pudding made from donuts w caramel icing and pecans to die for,Skylar took great care of us see yall soon thx so much“

“First it tastes like a homemade burger!!!!!! It had enough bacon to cut to cover the whole bun!!!!!! The bacon was thick and delicious!!!!!! In the meat taste like 100% beef!!!! But it needed a little more seasoning.... The bun was toasted well on both sides I could even taste the butter. The fries were obviously real from real potatoes but they weren't crunchy enough they weren't firm but they were okay... The best part the beef if you want to know where the beef is they have the beef... Five stars from me. WORTH TRYING OUT......“

“The crab dip alone is worth the drive from Houston. The last two times I've been there the shrimp taco I always get tasted different. Not sure if it's a different recipe or cook? I enjoyed the ones I use to get. So next time I go, I'll try the hamburgers. I heard they are great. The friendly staff and patrons ROCK! Super chill place to relax and get your belly full.“

“had a great experience today. food was 10/10 and server was nice. 😊“

“I have been eating here for so many years. The Best Catfish in the Greater Houston/Galveston area. I have since moved away from Dickinson, but I come to see Ms. Lily once a month and still get the "All You Can Eat Catfish." A MUST when in the area or traveling to Galveston. 5 stars all the way...they treat you like family.“

“Shrimp and oysters were severely under cooked, almost raw. We have been going to this restaurant for years and it was always great but will not go back! We told the cashier and she was not receptive, just took our money. There didn't seem to be a manager or owner available for us to talk to. We will not be back and will certainly spread this news!“

“Fun place and delidelicious food“

“Very friendly staff, Great Food, Highly recommend“

“Living in Texas City, this is a regular stop. Love the grilled seafood and steamed veggies, and the catfish is to die for. Hats off to the staff, always friendly and helpful“

“Probably the best classic hamburger I’ve had on the island!“

“Everything-fried asparagus, grilled shrimp, blackened salmon, suicide chocolate cake. Ronny is the best server😊.“

“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.“

“I’m not the one to leave comments but I had to for this experience. Hands DOWN the BEST FOOD AND SERVICE I have every had . I drove by this place for years and never knew that I was missing out on ALOT . I was missing the down home Louisiana cooking and the friendliest of the staff .Including the owner . It reminded me of home . If you need a reason to go this is it . You will not be disappointed. My stomach and soul was full !!!!“

“We ordered a big order for our Ramadan Iftar and Shajee was incredibly accommodating. He gave us a great deal for our student organization and was in constant communication with us to ensure that the food arrived in time for the masjid to set up accordingly. He even followed up to make sure everything went smoothly. Inshallah we will order from him again in the future“

“the food was excellent, the services was delightful, the atmosphere was excitement.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Marais yesterday, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was elegant yet welcoming, setting the perfect tone for a special night out. The service was outstanding—every staff member was attentive, warm, and truly went above and beyond to make sure we felt taken care of. The chef is clearly passionate about their craft; every dish was a work of art and packed with flavor. From start to finish, the food was absolutely delicious. Marais is a gem—highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-tier dining experience!“
