47 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“

“This is the best place for oysters, all sorts of choices. No kids running around, adults only. Great place! Love the oyster sampler with jalapeno and bacon, you have to ask for the addition separately. Nothing better to pair it with a dozen raw oysters. Great place!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Lighthouse Seafood 🍤 has the MOST FRESH AND TASTY seafood I’ve had in years! The 2 catfish fillets with 2 stuffed shrimp is my absolute favorite! The stuffed shrimp are huge and so delicious. Always fresh fish, nothing frozen. The price of a $10 platter is $25 anywhere else!! You get LOTS of food for your money PLUS a sweetheart of an owner.“

“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......“

“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!“

“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!“

“Was starving when we got out the water so happy this place was right outside the Dike. Loved everything from the fried fish to the shrimp poboy and cheeseburger. The prices were amazing for today's economy too so thankful for that and the friendly service and smiling faces! Thank yall Floyd's we will be back!“

“Went in today Cajun Joe’s today and ate the most delicious new Burger they were offering! Jalapeño mushroom patty on a jalapeño cheddar bun with a special sauce! It was amazing! I dubbed it the Voodoo Burger!“

“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.“

“We had a wonderful dining experience at Aquarium Dining. The atmosphere was beautiful and relaxing, and the food was delicious.
Our server, Rob, was great! He was very kind, attentive, and friendly. My mom was especially happy and amused by his mustache, which made the experience even more fun 😄 He made us feel very welcome and well taken care of.
Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend this place!“

“If you are quality sea food lover so come to visit Pier 8 ... Food quality so so Amazing and taste also 😋 service quick and staff so friendly ... I recommend to all one time visit to this location and enjoy lot of tast and good quality service Thank you“

“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“

“Fun place and delidelicious food“

“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 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!“

“good taste and large portions.“

“I came to Mariah’s for New Year’s brunch and it was absolutely fantastic. The brunch buffet was executed perfectly, the chicken and waffles were bomb, and the seafood spread was impressive and fresh. Everything was well thought out and beautifully presented.

The service, as always, was excellent. Attentive, professional, and welcoming. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance of classy yet not pretentious, which makes it such an enjoyable place to relax and celebrate.

The location on the bayou just adds to the experience, such a great setting for a special occasion. I truly enjoyed my New Year’s brunch.“

“This place was amazing! The steak was like straight butter! Loved all the little details in the garden salad. The service was amazing from Kyia and we can’t wait to go back!“

“Very friendly staff, Great Food, 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!“

“Was just there this morning for the Swiftie Breakfast and it was amazing!!! All the staff were so kind, welcoming and on theme! There was a photobolth, tattoos, friendship bracelets, themed drinks and food!!! I had a blast it was so much fun! The food was insanely good, and came out super fast!!! I will definitely be going back! Thank you so much for this event!“

“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“

“Every thing was great will be back.“

“I want to say how AMAZING this place is! I booked a birthday dinner for my boyfriend and the owner called me personally and spoke with me and made sure that she decorated our table personally and even got us a private room (which I had no idea was going to happen)! When we arrived, there were beautiful balloons, candles and a stunning room filled with low lights and music. Her husband even came in to make sure everything was to our liking and the waitress (Chloe) was outstanding! I cannot say how wonderful each and every person was that night and how great the food was as well. We will for sure be regular customers at this restaurant for years to come! Thank you so much to the owners and the staff....You made us feel like royalty! God bless you guys!“

“We catered Fired Chicken for my daughter’s birthday, and it was absolutely awesome! The food was hot, fresh, and full of flavor — everyone loved it! The fried chicken was crispy and delicious, and all the sides were perfect. Thank you for helping make my daughter’s birthday such a hit! We’ll definitely be ordering from you again!“

“Seriously the best pizza we’ve ever had. It was piping hot and the toppings were generous. The grandkids wanted chicken alfredo pasta. It wasn’t on the menu, but the owner made it for them! The owner was friendly and made our visit so enjoyable. There was even a Christmas themed photo backdrop behind the booth we sat in. So festive!🎄“

“The food is so good. Gator tacos is 10/10, it was so delicious and my daughter enjoyed their crawfish. The waiters/staff are amazing, they always check on you. I'm sure will be back.“

“Barge 295 has the best crab cake you will ever have. The entire rest of the menu is also fantastic, the boudin nachos are my 2nd favorite to the best crab cake you will ever have. Service is always great, obviously can’t beat the location and view - or the crab cake.“
