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.

It's funny…read morebecause when I usually look at videos it's for the food and I will check them out, but for this one I came for the person...the owner. I'm super glad I did because the food was good, but the owner... the person was better. We had a great conversation while I was eating that I will remember going forward. Very personable! He was taking orders and gave me some great recommendations based on my needs and being a first timer. Customer service was outstanding. I ordered the Boss Hog that comes with: Philly Egg Roll w/ sweet and sour sauce 9/10 Fries 9/10 5 Chicken Wings w/ ranch (24k Gold*Carolina BBQ) 9/10 Detroit Coney Dog 8/10 Everything was literally on point! I don't even need to explain, I already knew. The Coney Dog took me back to my time when I was in Detroit! The vibe inside the store made me feel like I was back in the Bay Area. It's hard to explain you just have to experience it. But a very "down to earth" atmosphere. Lots of people inside laughing, eating and just having great conversation. Come slide to Midwest Coney Connection and yes owner from the Midwest and you yes will get a coney if you order one, but most of all you'll feel the connection, which is what's it's all about!

One of the outstanding things about Midwest Coney Connection is the service. The employees are super friendly and go out of their way to make you feel at home. I mentioned that I was a Michigoose transplant and had a lovely conversation about the coney dogs and reminisced about the differences between michigan and texas. I can't say enough good things about the food. It's classic Detroit style coneys and really fantastic. They don't skimp on the coney sauce. The Texas Frito Pie is addictive and everything was just YUM! I highly recommend Midwest Coney Connection. The food is excellent and the employees are friendly.

Katie's Seafood…read moreHouse is a standout as a sea-to-table restaurant in the heart of The Strand in Galveston, Texas. For starters, we sampled the wonderful smoked, stuffed shrimp boudin balls. They were served with a house-made "trio delight" dipping sauce that offered a nice little kick. For the main course, the delectable, house-made jumbo lump crab cakes were absolute divinity--delicious, melt-in-your-mouth, and awe-inspiring. They came served with white rice, an arugula salad, and a medley of fresh vegetables. We also tried a spectacular special: redfish topped with étouffée and two jumbo Gulf shrimp, served over a bed of dirty rice. The fish was perfectly flaky and robust with a great Cajun tinge. Our waiter, Victor was completely on point, though he did have to deliver two small tidbits of bad news: they were sold out of both the swordfish and the mousse cake. However, the rest of the meal more than made up for it. When it comes to Katie's, you'll never be disappointed.

We reserved a private room at the…read morerestaurant for our family to celebrate such an amazing accomplishment over delicious seafood. We were seated promptly and as you can see from the photo, we were also able to add our own decor to the restaurant's existing nautical theme. We ordered plenty of shareable apps to pass around and the tuna tartare was a fan favorite among my family. Everyone seemed pretty pleased with their dishes with the exception of the graduate. She ordered a spring roll that actually ended up being a massive deep fried egg roll for some reason, so that was kind of disappointing, especially since it was her special day and all. If nothing else, you have to order the Chilean seabass. It's so buttery and fluffy that you'd forget you were eating fish altogether.

For whatever reason the bartender, Sean, wasn't happy to see us. He asked us if we didn't like our table. Which I thought was weird to ask. Anyhow we did two appetizers once we were able to get Seans attention to order- Mussels and the Crab cake. Both were excellent. We had planned on ordering entrees but Sean never once checked back with us. So, we flagged him down (from 5 feet away) and asked for the tab. So, instead of getting tipped on $150 tab, he got tipped on a $65 tab. My wife and I are both service industry veterans and walk in expecting to drop at least a 25% tip. Sean earned a 15% tip. He cost himself and his employer money. Bartenders should be engaged and as social as they can be. We were the only people seated at the bar and the restaurant was quiet. No reason we should have been ignored.
