Texas Thanksgiving Road Trip Ideas
Galveston Restaurants are at Their Best NOW!
Everybody goes to the beach in the summer. We get it, we do to.
What you might not realize is that most Galveston restaurants are NOT at their absolute best in the summer.
What’s the issue? Too many customers. Everything has to be faster causing more errors and less attention to every order that it comes out.
Galveston restaurants are less crowded in the fall and winter.
In addition, fall and winter offer the best seafood of the year. Fresh oysters. Flounder and trout are at their fattest.
Head to Galveston this fall for the best dining of the year.
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 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.
We hope you have enjoyed today’s Galveston Restaurant Guide.

Fall and Winter really is the best time to enjoy your favorite Galveston restaurants.
This is also a great time to schedule a hotel stay on Galveston island. Hotels are not only less crowded and quieter, they are also cheaper during the fall and winter.
