It comes with amazing homemade sauce (cocktail or tartar), however it does not need any sauce bc the garlic butter Parmesan seasoning is amazing. We also love the coconut shrimp & the sauce is equally delicious! Shrimp coleslaw is good too. A little pricy for the size, but you do get a shrimp in every bite so 100% worth a try if you haven't had it before. Service is good - it's a good truck so you just order, wait & dive into the deliciousness. There are ample picnic tables (with shade cover) to eat on site, or take it to go.

Before moving to Galveston, I was pretty hesitant to try food trucks. Darlene Shrimp Shack changed…read moremy mind. There is on thing on the menu. Shrimp. Best shrimp on the island. When I first discovered it, I went 12+ times during those first two months. It's location by the water and a shrimping boat gives great views while you eat. It is also conveniently located on the way into the island making it incredibly tempting every time I drive by!!! Would highly recommend.

They've gotten their menu down pat, simple but has all the regular food options you want in a seafood food truck. The food was mediocre. I had the fried fish taco, and my family ordered the fried fish and fried shrimp plate. The plates came with fries and tartar and cocktail sauce. Fries were not seasoned, pretty lackluster and limp but plenty of it! The fish was thin and overly battered, but it came with 2 large pieces. The fish taco was decent but just overly stuffed with cabbage but decently flavored. Ok for a quick pop in if this is exactly what you're in the mood for. Otherwise, not really anything to write home about.

In the great State of Texas, if you're going to barbecue, you'll have to do it as exceptionally as…read moreyou can. That said, Galveston's own Koop's goes above and beyond when it comes to giving meats the low and slow treatment. Koop's has sat on 45th and Broadway for at least five years, but today -- my 45th birthday -- was my first time visiting one of the island's very beloved eateries. Even before I set foot through its front door, my heart, mind and stomach were set on a one-meat platter consisting of brisket. I told P.J., who owns and operates the establishment, to give me a combination of moist and lean since I was a new customer. Well, well, well. It turned out that I made the right decision to get both types of brisket because I thoroughly enjoyed the one-meat platter: juicy, tender and ample. It was super easy to cut into pieces, too. I paired the meat with macaroni and cheese and broccoli and cheese after learning that the sides that I originally wanted -- the dirty rice and the corn -- ran out for the day. The former sides came in generous helpings, but because I was so enamored with the brisket, I didn't finish them, and they're now sitting in my fridge with the next item I'm going to rave about. My mom accompanied me, and she ordered the loaded baked potato. You know the old adage, "Everything's bigger in Texas"? It applies to the tater because it was massive enough to feed a whole family. A baked potato that huge isn't stingy on deliciousness. According to my mom, it was a bit spicy, which isn't a bad thing if you ask me. The interior of Koop's is quintessential Texan with some hints of the island. It was like dining inside an old time country store sitting beside a dirt road. To the right of the entrance is a corner that boasts the restaurant's numerous trophies and accolades, letting you know that they take their craft very seriously. As for the staff, P.J. and Kevin, the gentleman who served us our orders, are super friendly. Future diners are more than likely to leave Koop's not just full, but with a slightly larger friend circle.

Koops has owners who are genuinely kind, and that alone makes the experience memorable. When he…read moreasked how I liked the food, I didn't sugarcoat it -- told him it wasn't my thing. Instead of brushing it off or giving the usual polite nod, he actually asked why, listened, and seemed to care about the answer. That part stood out more than anything on the plate. BBQ is a tradition, and everyone has their own style. Koops has theirs, and it clearly works for plenty of people. It just isn't mine. I won't be back, but the fact that the owner took the time to ask, listen, and treat feedback like something worth hearing says a lot about the place and the people running it.
