Guide to Galveston Restaurants and Dining

Many families visiting Galveston enjoy making a stop to a favorite restaurant for seafood, served fresh from the Gulf of Mexico.

Galveston also offers scratch bakeries, breakfast restaurants, Tex Mex, Vietnamese restaurants, and more.

Our Southeast Texas Family Magazine favorite Galveston Restaurants include:

Gumbo Diner: Start with the beignets. Ask about the specials – they can be delicious. Breakfast is served all day, and I love breakfast. The seafood at Gumbo Diner is excellent – fresh, local seafood unlike some of the chain restaurants. The Shrimp and Grits are excellent, but you can also make a great meal out of their appetizers. Try the Cajun Pistolettes and Bacon Wrapped Shrimp. End your meal with beignets.

Shrimp N Stuff Downtown: This successful restaurant group started with a food truck. The restaurants give you the same quality of food with the comfort of a restaurant setting. Don’t miss the Shrimp Salad Stack – visually tempting and delicious. Diners praise the staff, services, and family friendly pricing. When the temperature is right, enjoy fresh Gulf of Mexico seafood on the patio. Dog friendly.

Mosquito Cafe is off of the water and away from the Galveston strand, but it is not a secret. Locals praise Mosquito Cafe for quality burgers, fresh salads, and made from scratch breakfasts. They locally source seafood and vegetables for a farm to table freshness.
