Very clean and welcoming. I can't even begin to express how excited I am that we finally have wine slushes like Fredericksburg here in Galveston now! These are EXCELLENT, especially on a hot hot day. They also have a great wine selection and do tastings often. When I saw the food menu I just had to get the Reuben because that's my favourite sandwich. It was such a perfect one! I'll definitely get it again. The staff was outstanding. I felt like I was already a regular there. They're easygoing and friendly, perfectly exemplifying the island attitude. I'm so happy they're here!

Stopped into Proletariat in Galveston during a family day at Dickens on the Strand, and it ended up…read morebeing a great spot to take a break from the festival. The place had a lively, cozy vibe that fit the day perfectly. I ordered a unique craft beer from Charleston, SC, which was such a cool find on tap in Galveston. My family tried the boozy hot chocolate, wine, and a couple of drinks from their solid coffee selection. The staff was friendly and kept things moving smoothly even with the festival crowd. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5--is the limited snack options. It would've been nice to pair the drinks with a few more bites, especially during such a busy event. Overall, though, Proletariat is definitely worth a stop if you're exploring the Strand. Great drinks, great vibe, and a perfect little retreat during Dickens on the Strand.

I told Guinevere that I wanted a gin drink with a good gin, and her face lit up as she suggested a 'purple rain' with Empress 1908 gin. Turns out, it may well have been the best drink I've ever had. We were very happy with the total experience but most impressed with Guinevere's passion for service and her willingness to share her knowledge about the menu, the bar and the Galveston community. Kudos to Guinevere, the bartender and Hearsay gastro lounge.

We were there for our 27th wedding anniversary and were pampered by the staff all evening! The cuisine is Nicaraguan-inspired seafood and proteins, which I was not familiar with at all, but everything we had was delicious. The meal begins with fried crispy plantains with two different dipping sauces that are heavenly. We chose the empanadas for our appetizers, then I had the sea scallops while my husband ordered a seafood pasta dish. The restaurant is quiet and elegant, but not at all stuffy. They treated us to cake at the end, which is the only thing I got a picture of (sorry!!) but I so recommend this restaurant!!

We wanted to go out and celebrate before meeting everyone for the wedding activities. Searched Yelp for steakhouses and this one popped up and had many great reviews.

The sushi was also yummy. Would come back here again.

Our waiter was…read morefantastic and even offered to move us to a larger table before we had ordered drinks so we'd have more room for plates. Good thing he did, because we ended up ordering lots of appetizers and definitely needed the space! Everything we tried was outstanding. The ahi tuna wontons were perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. The ceviche had a great balance of ingredients with just the right amount of spice. And the fried pickles were hands down the best I've had anywhere. I'm not sure if it was the ranch, the pickles themselves, or both, but they were incredible. For entrées, we had the salmon and the gumbo. We were so full from the appetizers that we didn't eat much of them, but both were excellent and I would absolutely order them again. The Old Fashioned was also delicious, with an interesting flavor that tasted almost like brown sugar--perhaps from the walnut bitters. I highly recommend this place. The menu is so diverse and well executed that I can't imagine anyone not finding something they would enjoy. We'll definitely be back!

Why 4 stars? Because this was a slightly elevated experience from the Galveston norm…read more --- --- --- We spent a couple of days in Galveston and this was how our journey began. I had so many places bookmarked and many of them had nearly identical cuisines, mostly centered around seafood. But Shuck's had the highest ratings of the bunch, and the key to my heart is an extra tenth or two of a star rating. I ordered the panko parmesan oysters to start, which were... fine. My wife ordered the fried pickles, and while fried pickles are pretty much the same no matter where you try them, they indeed hit the spot here. We ordered our son some chicken tenders and fries, which I was happy to steal a few bites of, despite it being pretty typical. You can't throw chicken tenders in my face and expect me not to indulge. Lastly, we finished with a lobster roll. And while we prefer the Connecticut style lobster rolls (hot with butter), this New England style version was pretty enjoyable too. Our server was super friendly and treated us like we were old pals. It was a nice way to start off our Galveston adventure.
