One of the great joys of a Galveston stay is eating your way through the island’s seafood scene. As hosts who spend a lot of time here, these are the spots we send our guests to again and again.
For a Casual Beach Lunch
Nothing beats a paper basket of fried Gulf shrimp with your toes still sandy. Look for the family-run shacks near the harbor — the less polished the sign, the better the shrimp, in our experience.
For Waterfront Dinner
When you want to linger over a sunset dinner, head to one of the bayside restaurants where you can watch the boats come in. Order the catch of the day and a glass of something cold.
For Oyster Lovers
Galveston Bay oysters are a regional treasure. In-season (look for the “R” months), you’ll find them served raw, chargrilled, and every way in between.
Cooking In at Sunset Kisses
Some nights you just want to stay home — and our fully-equipped kitchen makes it easy. Stop by a local market for fresh-off-the-boat shrimp and fish, fire up the grill, and dine on the balcony as the sun goes down. Honestly? Some of our guests’ favorite meals happen right at the house.
Pro tip: Ask us before your trip and we’ll text you our current shortlist — the good spots change with the seasons and the day’s catch.
