Get here early for breakfast : limited parking and very popular: leave room for beignets or take some home. Seafood omelet is delicious.
The server was super friendly . We ordered a seafood gumbo with a shrimp PoBoy and beignet . We also ordered a blackened catfish meal. The food was fresh and tasty.
Had the chicken and waffles . Pretty good but a little pricey for the size. $9.99 for a small waffle and 4 small tenders. Waffle was the size of a large dessert plate. Staff was nice and patient.
Beignets are yum. No comparison to NOLA. Cool place and great service.
The shrimp and grits are AMAZING! Beignets we’re also yummy… came out hot with plenty of powdered sugar . Great service too.
seafood platter is fantastic. our waiter was anthony and he was extremely kind. highly recommended restaurant
Everything is great! Always consistent. Great menu choices and great service! Best beignets outside New Orleans!!
This is a "small" order of gumbo ... Delicious.
Gumbo for breakfast . If you sit at the bar they will make the gumbo right in front of you!
Excellent food and service!! If in Galveston this is a must try.
Huge pancakes !! The ac was out when I went so it was incredibly hot and our food took a while but it was good.
The fish tacos and the chicken fried steak were delicious. Stephanie was great!
The seafood omelet is such an interesting and tasty dish.
I went in a group of three and they o my had seating at the bar . We weren't impressed by the small and kind of pricy menu so we walked out before anyone even approached us.
Good food. Good friendly service . Crowded though.
Great food- would highly recommend!
Staff is super friendly . Food and atmosphere is good. Gumbo doesn't measure up I'm sorry to say.
Service is great
Seafood omelette was quite tasty. And beignets !
Went for breakfast and it was just average. Eggs were good but grits and biscuit was terrible - good coffee slow service but friendly .
Service was great!!! Bbq oysters with blue cheese soooo amazing!!! Gumbo ? Meh :/
Same company as Little Daddy's Gumbo on Post Office - but they serve breakfast at this one
Breakfast , Chicken and waffles , Beignets and Gumbo
Ok food, awful service, servers blame food you don't like on "awful cooks" but don't take the food off of your check. This is a great place if you love waiting half an hour for food but money.
Everything is good!
The 32 ounce gumbo is huge!
Get the Gumbo and jambalaya
Worth the wait
Beignets were great!
Fried shrimp
Slow service
Great service. Great microbrew & local selection. I will be coming back! New fave. - Teresa C
Love the wings & shrimp at Hooter’s. Service here is just terrible-was my 4th visit since it opened in the Winter & the service is just terrible each time. Forget it on a busy Friday/Saturday night. - Rodger Dodger
We had a hamburger and a hot dog. Excellent. Good food. Great prices. - Bill Nelson
A great walk along the sea wall. Can hire bikes or have a stroll to the pier. Lots of families and a really nice atmosphere - Daniel Kilkenny
Awesome deli made sandwiches and salads if you fancy an alternative to take out. Ideal for sandwiches and things to take away... - Daniel Kilkenny
So much fun. Go during the night it's beautiful and not too hot. Pretty pricy though. - Laney Moreno
