This is the best kept secret in Galveston. Cheap, right on the beach, clean, quiet. Everything you want without breaking the bank. Be sure to check for coupons they offer to make your stay cheaper. Ocean view rooms are a little more money. I prefer the interior court as you get to park your vehicle in the courtyard where it is much more secure. Gaidos famous seafood restaurant is right next door. So is Caseys seafood. Both are highly touted as the best seafood in Galveston.

My girlfriend and I visited Galveston for vacation and went to Gaido's after being recommended by a local. There was a bit of a wait, but once we were seated the experience was superb. The complementary bread and olive oil were anything but filler. On the recommendation of the waitress, I ordered the wade red snapper with au gratin potatoes and shrimp bisque. The snapper had a light texture and a subtle butter and lemon taste. The bisque was creamy with a subtle flavor and a hint of spice. My girlfriend had the salmon with a creamy shrimp topping that she really enjoyed. For desert, we both had their world famous pecan pie - I wouldn't recommend any other dessert...ever. All in all, I have to say that this was one of the best meals I have enjoyed in years. Certainly the best seafood I have ever had.
Pros: Food, ambiance, service, menu
Cons: Wait

This place is fantastic. They have a great selection of sandwiches, burgers and other plates that are always changing, always fresh and always unique. Whatever slaw they have as a side option is always fantastic. The staff is very friendly and I just love the food. The only drawback is that it can get crowded and difficult to get a table at times, but a crowded restaurant means good food! I definitely recommend this place and I'm a foodie.
Pros: food, staff, quality
Cons: seating

I love to eat at Fisherman's Wharf when in Galveston. It is conveniently located near shopping on the strand. And since it is delicious it is usually very busy. It is definitely worth it. Try the shrimp kisses - they are to die for.

We live in Houston and have a second home in Galveston. We've tried many restaurants over the years and Luigi's is still our favorite. Best bread, fish, steak, and pasta served on the island. Food is always hot and good! We've found nothing to match it on the island and eat there every time we are in Galveston. It's a great night when Luigi sings -- what a treat!
The restaurant received quite a bit of damage as a result of Hurricane Ike. We, along with Luigi's many loyal patrons, are counting the days until we can celebrate his re-opening. Galveston is not the same without him! It's a fantastic respite after a hectic week in Houston!!
Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Luigi!! Upstairs is great for a large gathering.

Marios has some of the best Italian food on the island -- but the view of the beach is even better. A bit pricey unless you get the lunch buffet. The pasta dishes are better than the pizza here. The outdoor courtyard is charming, but frequently unusable due to the Texas heat. The decor inside is unusal, but tasteful.

We have been going to Fish Tales for several years and have always found the food and service GREAT!
We were there June 25 for my birthday about noon. JAMES our waiter could not have done more. The food was great and took no time at all. Everyone there was friendly. I'm so sorry ya'll seem to have a problem. I was concerned when I read this site before we went because I thought things had change for the worst. NOT so just as good as ever. Thanks JAMES!!!!
Pros: Love the open deck and Food
Cons: NONE I can think of

I'm telling you, there's nothing like this anywhere else in the country. I used to eat here when i was in Medical School in Galveston in the 70's, and, in retrospect, I had no idea how fortunate I was. i've had the boston, the austin, the chicago, and the new york pizza, and nothing can compare with Mario's Flying Pizza.
I also miss all the girls I used to date in Galveston, lol, hope you gals are married, have kids, and are doing well!!!
Pros: BEST PIZZA IN THE COUNTRY--HOW DO THEY DO IT????
Cons: NONE!
