First time to Galveston and friends recommended this place. Lauren D was our server and she was amazing. It was my husband's birthday and she made it very special with great suggestions from drinks to customizing a birthday dessert with "Happy Birthday Gremlin" which is his childhood nickname. She just so happened to be wearing Gremlin earrings. It was fate! Lol...thanks again Lauren. Grouper and Redfish amazing with the scalloped potatoes and wild mushrooms risotto was delicious MUST TRY and Request Lauren!! read more

The food at BLVD Seafood was top notch! The chef is amazing. We had the shrimp and crab kisses as an appetizer which was fantastic. The gumbo and chowder were so packed with flavor. Two of our party had the flounder, crab stack and raved over it, especially the mornay sauce. We had a house salad and the beet salad. The breaded, fried goat cheese was superb. Great dinner! read more

Who knew this bldg was once a 7/11 convenience store? That explained its unassuming exterior, but that did not stop us from deciding to go for dinner. After reading multiple reviews and comparing it to other local seafood restaurants in Galveston, we knew we had to go. We were seated with my Service dog, no problem. Mike immediately came and delivered water. It was hot outside. The decor is inviting and the bar area looked well stocked. We began with cocktails xtra Dirty Martini with hand stuffed blue cheese olives and for my husband a Maker's Mark bourbon . This gave us time to look over this incredible menu! Seafood is what we came for so we ordered 2 sharable items: soy, ginger octopus on crispy wonton and roasted beat walnut and fried goat cheese salad. We could have stopped there completely wowed. Both if us love Texas Redfish and it's so hard to get fresh seafood where we live so that caught our eyes. Husband ordered blackened and redfish over mushroom risotto and French style green beans. I could not resist a similar item blackened redfish over mushroom risotto and asparagus. We both were over the moon with the meaty blackened redfish FLAVORS! Risotto was perfectly cooked al dente and both veg choices were the perfect accompaniment! Honestly it had been a ling time since we had such a beautiful meal. Service was outstanding and he even picked up on a comment by my husband encouraging me to order whatever I wanted given it was a birthday dinner. So I was completely delighted when Mike showed up with the final surprise a Creamy NY style cheesecake. So I guess what I'm trying to say is this place was outstanding. You could not go wrong with a decision to have a great experience and upscale seafood meal at BLVD SEAFOOD. read more

Cozy atmosphere and good food! I had a great time overall. The crab cakes were definitely the highlight of the meal, they're delicious and something I'd recommend ordering. The only downside was the service. Our server seemed a bit rushed and came across as if he had somewhere else to be, which made the experience feel less welcoming. Also, the bar seating isn't very comfortable if you plan on sitting there for a while. Overall, it's still a nice place to visit, especially if you're looking for a cozy spot with good food. read more

Nick was the waiter and he was very friendly and attentive. We mentioned we were on a time crunch and he had everything flying out including the check and offering waters to go. Service was fast, and for a $3 mimosa was a steal. Food was decent but I was hoping for more based on the reviews - chicken and waffles: felt the chicken pieces could've been crispier, and the fruits were sour so made a weird mix of sweet syrup and sour fruits - Soft shell crab - favorite item we ordered which was nicely presented and tasted well - Gumbo: decent tasting but nothing that stood out significantly Overall food was well priced and decent. I didn't find the food extraordinarily impressive but it was enjoyable. Great waiter and inside was just a standard restaurant inside with some of the tables a little cramped moving around. Not a bad spot but nothing I'd go out of my way to seek Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 read more

Got there for the lunch menu but chose the dinner menu instead. Friendly server named Cindy. I chose the flat fish w/ no subs. Hubby ordered the BLVD seafood platter with mushroom risotto instead of the rice pilaf. Let me say, I've had some good seafood in San Francisco. This place blows them all out of the water. I wanted to stop half way through my meal because I was getting full. But it was so good, I ate too much and now im in a food coma. For what you get, I feel like the prices are just right. read more

What a great place for brunch! Everything we ordered was delicious and the service was impeccable. Chicken & waffles was such a nice variation. The chicken was juicy, tender, & crispy. The fruit on top if waffles was mango, papaya, pineapple, blueberries. Mango syrup was delicious too. Cajun Benedict did not disappoint. Sausage, shrimp, & hollandaise- yum! The potatoes were perfectly seasoned & crispy. The red snapper and grits was also amazing. Will definitely be back to try other items. We saw so many other items come out that looked so good. read more

Haven't been here for a while. Was down on the island and wanted to take advantage of 2026 Restaurant Week. I love the ambiance. We sat at the bar. It was a cool hang. The service was good. Missed lunch, so did happy hour instead. Got the Jobber (gumbo) - includes crab, shrimp and andouille sausage in a dark roux on top of rice (pic attached). It was chocked full of protein. The taste of the roux was ok. Not my favorite. read more

Didn't have reservations (mistake) but got a seat at the bar by the spot where they plate the dishes. Amazing to watch. Very efficient. Bar service was great. It was not noisy despite being VERY busy. Had the oysters, escargot, and clam linguini. She had plank salmon. Fantastic. The garlic bread served with each meal was the best. Buttery and crispy. The oysters were briney and sweet, but like similar gulf varieties they were large. For me, I prefer smaller New England species. But this is Galveston and they were quite fresh. A mouthful but delicious. read more

Overrated. We have been dying to try this place, so we stopped by and tried. We were less than impressed. The service was ok, The food was nothing special. All the pictures and reviews describe these amazing flavors. We had to use the salt, pepper, and Tabasco on everything. The best thing we had were the fries. I don't think we would try this place again. read more

This place always hits! I came here back in 2023 with my boyfriend as a last minute decision when we went to Galveston for the day and we haven't stopped thinking about the food since. I took my mom this most recent time and the consistency and deliciousness is still there! Both times I have gotten the pecan crusted redfish and it is so good. I love all of their sides across the board but the scalloped potatoes and spinach were exceptional this time around. The bread pudding is a must. My mom isn't a big seafood fan and got the linguine pasta with chicken and loved it! We got oysters the first time we came which was also great. Both times we have gone the servers have been great. They have fun cocktails and a good wine selection. The vibes can be a little touristy but the food is not. read more

Great place in Galveston right on the sea wall. The outside is pretty bland, but inside is nice and well lit with great food, drinks and service. I had the Fish Stack which was flounder stuffed with crab meat. My wife had the crab stuffed shrimp and both were fantastic. I would call this a must stop while in Galveston. read more

I've been here several times with my family. We've come here on Mother's Day for the past few years and for a few birthdays throughout the year... we're seafood people. We've always had good service, good food, and enjoyed the atmosphere and somewhat decent view. It's not a huge place so reservations are probably a good idea. We've come before without one and other than having to wait a little longer, it was just as good of an experience. read more

We hadn't been to BLVD for quite a while, possibly a couple of years. Recently Dan was treated to a birthday dinner by some good friends who eat there fairly often so we chose it. Overall it was a good experience. We picked Wednesday evening without making reservations figuring that the need to do that kicks in Thursday. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a very full dining room. Thankfully, there was a table for four to be had, so we settled in for a delicious, but rather cacophonous meal. As is my custom, I studied the menu ahead of time and was looking forward to trying octopus on the shareables. I got it and while not blown away by it, I thought it was okay. The presentation was pretty enough, but the octopus had been chopped up into small pieces which caused it to lose its identity a bit. The flavors were fine though, but the avocado was superfluous - and I am very fond of avocado. To accompany it, I ordered cheesy grits as a side. Absolutely no complaints there. They were appropriately cheesy and delicious. Dan got the Greek salad and that was definitely a home run, very flavorful with fresh, balanced ingredients. He shared with me and I was happy to help. He also had the crab cake and it was perfect. The only thing that would have made it next level is something with a crunch factor alongside it like slaw or chunky salsa. Our friends both opted for gumbo (cup) and they seemed very satisfied. For her main, Jen got the cedar plank salmon. Since she shared, I can say that it was a win - perfectly cooked and seasoned. Ryan got the Gulf Coast flat fish stack which made him very happy. It's a rich dish and it almost conquered him, but he got his second wind and finished it. No, we did not have room for dessert! If we had, I would have chosen the chocolate mousse or the creme brulee trio. I make both mousse and creme brulee so I always like to see how mine measures up. Maybe next time. Final thoughts on BLVD: it's a fun, lively place with tasty food. Reservations are probably a good idea. read more

We wanted to indulge in some local seafood during our stay in Galveston and decided to check out BLVD based on their great reviews. Their location is prime, within walking distance to the beach. We had the Flagship Shrimp 'N Grits and the Pecan-Crusted Red Fish. The shrimp is from the gulf and I was surprised that they were really small, however I did enjoy the andouille sausage and cheesy grits. I also wasn't the biggest fan of the red fish and wished that had ordered the red snapper instead. The asparagus and scalloped potatoes were delicious though! Overall; both dishes were pretty good and the staff were really kind and attentive. read more

You don't always expect to see a gem of a restaurant right along a busy tourist strip, but BLVD Seafood is exactly that. We shared a calamari appetizer which was tender and fried to perfection accompanied by a light sauce. We also split the Waterfront Sampler. The redfish was flaky with a light crispy breading; the shrimp were plump and golden brown; the soft shell crab was tender and tasty. The chef prepared a saffron rice pilaf and perfectly tender buttery fresh green beans. The service was prompt and friendly, and the manager was very hands-on. A bonus was that we had a table facing the seawall. We are grateful for the recommendation by a family member who lives in the area. We will be back! read more

First time in, continuing my "locals" dining in Galveston. Not much from the outside, but walked into a place already bustling with the dinner rush. Informed the host I didn't know if we needed reservations, but he sat me and my husband right away:) Nice menu with a nice variety, and knowledgeable wait staff. We opted to split the blackened Red fish w/risotto and green beans and has a wedge salad to start. Added blackened shrimp as well, made the meal! Fish and shrimp both tasted fresh and blackened to perfection! Nice welcoming atmosphere, we will put this on our Galveston List to return! read more

The service is awesome. Missy Jo was awesome from Hello to Goodbye. She was very informative and helpful with dinner choices. The food was wonderful! We will be back. It is so delicious! And the portions are nice sized-took some home. We had the Texas Gulf Shrimp with scalloped potatoes. Delicious. And Shrimp Linguine. Delicious. The Gumbo. Delicious. The Wedge salad. Delicious. All lovely. We liked the ambiance of the small setting. Nice to be in a restaurant that was mom and pop and treated you special and like family at the same time. Thank you Boulevard Seafood. Keep doing what you do! read more

Great stop!! Not sure how we've missed this place the times we've been here before. Charbroiled oysters are fabulous. Cooked perfectly and if I might add a suggestion add a Parmesan Romano cheese mix and leave the on the grill for 3 more minutes and you move them from a home run....to a grand slam. Great service, loved the Sublime/LBC music and being able to watch the kitchen as they created more masterpieces. We'll be back!! read more

This place is amazing. By far the best seafood I've had on the island. Service is excellent and the food is great. I had a cup of gumbo that is some of the best I've ever had. You should not leave Galveston Island without dining here. read more

First time visiting and it absolutely did not disappoint! Even after the post-Mardi Gras dinner rush, the hostess was so helpful in getting us seated at the bar. Emory, our bartender/server, gave fantastic recommendations and provided truly excellent service. We were seated right in front of the expo line, where Big Kevin was running things seamlessly -- you can tell he and the entire team take real pride in their ingredients, presentation, and overall experience. The communication and teamwork between staff was impressive to watch. Everything felt organized and intentional. We'll definitely be back -- they made our anniversary feel extra special read more

Our favorite meal in Galveston. Fantastic food and service. An upscale, but casual restaurant. We ordered the Smoked Salmon Crostini, Wedge Salad, and Cup of the White for staters. Each item was absolutely delicious. The salmon was lightly smoked dry salmon with a herbed oil and micro-greens on a soft slice of bread. The soup was fabulous with lots of seafood and great soup base. The wedge salad was huge, with lots of blue cheese, nuts, onion, tomato, and green apple. We shared the soft shell crab for our entree which came with 2 sides. It was 2 large crab with scalloped potatoes and green beans. Handmade tartar and cocktail sauce, Cheesy potatoes, and crisp cooked green beans. It was fantastic! We would come back often if we lived here. We will definitely be back on our next visit. read more

Wow! Some of the best fresh seafood ever with great service. We arrived early with a reservation & were seated promptly, no wait. Our waiter Mike was awesome, attentive & pleasant. My husband & I enjoyed the raw oysters, the gumbo, the fish chowder, the pecan crusted red snapper. Perfect portion sizes. If you're looking for upscale dining, this is not your place. If looking for fresh delicious seafood with a cozy relaxed seaside vibe, a must try. Off street parking. Reservation suggested. read more

Best seafood in Galveston. Reasonable prices, awesome service, great food. Everything is made fresh. My only problem was this is a anniversary dinner and it was not a romantic ambience. However, the food and service made it a great choice. Honestly, the best calves I have had in forever. The bayfront sampler and the pork belly side were incredible. Even the flourless chocolate cake was good. I had a beer, but my wife had a cocktail. The martini wasn't to her liking so she sent it back and got a really good Cocktail no issues.

Stopped by for some fish with a friend. We had a couple of cocktails that were great and a massive appetizer of crispy calamari. We ordered fish and mine was not great but my friend's red snapper was delicious. The servers were friendly and helpful, but honestly I was expecting the fish to be perfect in a restaurant in front of the sea, so I left a bit disappointed. read more

"Hidden Gem Alert -- And We Have Our Bartender to Thank" We almost missed BLVD Seafood entirely, and I'm so grateful we didn't! On the recommendation of a bartender -- truly the most trustworthy source for great local eats -- we made our way over, and it did "not" disappoint. The seafood dishes were absolutely wonderful. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared -- exactly the kind of meal that makes you close your eyes and just appreciate the moment. Every bite was a treat. The whole experience left us so happy that we're already planning to go back before we leave town. That says everything, doesn't it? When a restaurant earns a return visit on the same trip, you know it's something special. If you're on the fence, consider this your sign -- and maybe buy your bartender a thank-you drink while you're at it. read more

This place gets real busy even during the off-season and there's about 24 parking spaces not including street parking. This restaurant also sits directly across the street from the very popular recreation center where hungry seniors can satisfy their appetite after a good workout. One thing that I found impressive was their very extensive wine and whiskey list. They have very good Happy hour cocktail prices from 3 to 7 M-F. We both decided on the fried shrimp and fish plate and a signature cocktail from their extensive food menu. We really liked their choice of coatings on the shrimp and fish. They do have some nice dessert choices, including wine to go at reasonable prices. They have a great formula, great food, reasonable prices, and good service. Some informative photos included to help with your decision. read more

Very impressed. We were in town for the Santa Hustle. We made reservations for 5 people ,6:30 on a Saturday night. We called at 5 pm to see if we could add 2 to our party, shockingly they said problem. As more friends made their way to the island they asked if they could join us. This is a smaller restaurant that is always busy so we had no expectations that they would be able to accommodate more 2-4 more but they did. The food was incredible and the service was outstanding. We will definitely be back read more

Roberto was a great server and extremely courteous. The vibe is beach casual. No swimsuits but shorts or jeans are fine. The seared tuna shareable is great but not enough for a meal for a guy. Beer was cold and fresh - I had the Kona. My wife's shrimp plate was ok but rice pilaf needs to be updated. Shrimp were plentiful but on the smaller side. I would go back and get the shrimp cocktail. It looked great. Check this place out. It was busy and the locals and tourist like it read more
