45 Best Seafood Restaurants near San Leon

“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.“

“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“

“We stopped by for lunch on a Friday after fishing, mainly because we had seen this spot on TikTok and we were close by. The atmosphere is really inviting and laid-back—you can seat yourself either inside or outside on the spacious patio. Since the weather was nice, we chose to sit outside, and it was a plus that every table had its own fan. Another thing we appreciated was that it’s a 21+ establishment. Parking was easy and there was plenty available.

For food, we started with the oysters, which were on special. Unfortunately, they were small and served warm, which was a bit disappointing. For entrées, we ordered the shrimp po’boy and the chicken fried steak. The po’boy wasn’t what we expected—just five shrimp served on a hot dog bun, which felt underwhelming. On the other hand, the chicken fried steak was excellent. The batter was crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Definitely the highlight of the meal.

Service was friendly and attentive—our waitress was very nice. My only wish is that she would’ve mentioned how small the po’boy was before we ordered.

Overall, despite some misses with the food, the atmosphere and the chicken fried steak stood out. We’d give it another try and would be willing to go back.“

“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.“

“Great place. Come on folks tip the waitress!“

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

“What an amazing experience! The entire staff wanted to ensure my event was amazing. The food and drinks were perfect. My son’s graduation party was more than I could’ve imagined. I put a lot of effort into planning, desserts & decorations & Opus made it so worth it!“

“After a long day on the water, my son and I stooped to eat on our way back to Beaumont. The food was delicious and the service was amazing. Our waiter, Brandon, was wonderful 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“We have been going for years and never been disappointed. Very friendly staff and food is excellent . Tender basket with honey mustard is incredible. Awesome deserts as well. Thanks for keeping us well fed Brad. S. Whynot.“

“We really enjoyed the food and staff was friendly. Large portions that were great for sharing and still some to take home. Highly recommend the Chicken Mediterranean!“

“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!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍!!“

“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......“

“I’ve been coming to Sams Boat for years. Stephanie, Janna and Ulissa are my favorite but they all are very very nice and attentive. I would recommend this place to anybody“

“We love this place, everything is fresh and cooked when you order, we have gotten the red snapper lots of times,(it’s about $65) its my husband’s favorite. Their seasoning is soo good. Highly recommend. But get there early, they open at 10, but will be soo packed by noon. Especially on a sunday.“

“The menu is quite large with so much variety. Their house salad dressing is really delicious and if you choose the pasta Alfredo as your side you won’t believe how big the portion is. My husband got the stuffed red fish and for the first time ever couldn’t eat it all. I recommend sharing an entree so you can save room for dessert which I hear the bread pudding is delicious. I just didn’t have room“

“Hubby stopped in and purchased a to go order of Joleen's Coconut Fried Shrimp (6 pieces) served with coconut honey dipping sauce and a side order of homemade coleslaw.

If youre in the Military or a Veteran (show ID for verification) you'll receive a 10% discount off your order..“

“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.“

“I'll rate it about a 3.75, I guess. Although my Bang Bang Shrimp was great my sister's said their sampler plate was somewhat less to be desired. We had to wait quite a while for our server, Amy, and they weren't extremely busy. A manager did come to check on us & went out of her way to find my sister a bottle of Coca-Cola :) Gift shop prices are outrageous, but it's a fun place with nice scenic views!“

“We celebrated our anniversary here, and it couldn’t have been more special thanks to Frank, the floor manager, and our wonderful server, Morgan. From the moment we walked in, they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for. The highlight was when Frank arranged for the kitchen to make my husband’s favorite stuffed avocados—despite them no longer being on the menu. It was such a thoughtful and unexpected touch that made the evening unforgettable. Morgan provided warm, attentive service all night, making sure everything was perfect. We left feeling truly appreciated and can’t wait to come back!“

“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.“

“Fun place and delidelicious food“

“Visited for Houston restaurant week. The manager Doug and staff provided excellent attentive service 10/10!!!
Deviled eggs 4/5, Fried crab sandwich 4/5 and fries 5/5, crab tower 2/5 [ it lacked seasoning and it was dry needing a drizzle of ranch or something to enhance the flavor, I remember this dish tasting better in the past], Oysters Rockefeller 0/5 due to the metallic taste but the manager removed it from the bill 👌🏿, the steak 3/5 it lacked seasoning and was more rare than medium as requested, lemon drops 🍸3/5 sweet but no alcohol....“

“good taste and large portions.“

“We sat at the bar and had great service by Matias. Kim was so nice when she brought our food out. Food and drinks were great. We were just visiting the area when we decided to stop. Was a little disappointed they didn't offer beef bites on happy hour.“

“The food was decent and the view was ver nice. The whole Kemah Boardwalk area is beautiful and fun for the whole family. A must visit if you are in the area. This restaurant in particular has a nice decor with lots of fish tanks to keep the kids entertained. I ordered the sampler (see picture) and the calamari and the mozzarella sticks were delicious. I would recommend it, specially if you are with your family.“

“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“

“Enjoyed a great meal & drinks at South Shore Grill this past Sunday. Stephanie was an amazing waitress who ensured we were taken care of the whole time. Highly recommend“

“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!“

“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“

Place is spacious with comfortable seating, staff is super friendly“
