Cooper's is a quiet place that has great/friendly service and good food. It's not your typical beach pub, Yet it's not ultra fine dining either. Good stop for a change of pace.We'll go back on our next trip into Galveston. read more

Went to Cooper's Landing for a casual lunch. Overall, it was a decent experience. Not the best, but still enjoyable. We started with the fried calamari. It was thicker than what I'm used to but in a good way. The texture and flavor made it different, it's topped with parmesan cheese. I also ordered the caramelized brussels sprouts which was the best part of my meal. They were crispy and flavored with a hot bacon vinaigrette. My husband ordered the grilled salmon dish which he said he enjoyed. Service was solid. He was friendly and attentive which always goes a long way when you're in a new place. He made us feel comfortable. Cooper's Landing used to be a burger joint. After the transformation, it's now a slightly upscale coastal dining restaurant. read more

I started with the mini crab cakes which were wonderful. I also had a side salad which was fresh and crisp. I highly recommend the bacon vinaigrette for a dressing. I then had the NY Strip with fresh vegetables and grilled shrimp. The vegetables and shrimp were fresh and delicious. The steak was very tender and well seasoned. The restaurant location is on the quieter end of town and has a clean modern atmosphere with good views of the beach and surf. Chris H. was our server. He was very friendly and attentive which made our dining experience even better. read more

Brunch Crab Cake Benedict was awesome! Actually my sister and I split it and that was enough for us. We also tried a side of Brussel sprouts and it was so-so ...a little burned. The mimosas were good too. Not too crowded on a Sat around 12:30. The lunch/brunch prices looked very reasonable. read more

While staying at an Airbnb on the beach with my parents and our pups, we noticed that Cooper's Landing was right by us and looked like a great place to grab dinner at. There weren't many people there when we arrived but the inside was pretty so we were happy to dine in. We were seated quickly at a table near the bar and our drink order was taken. All of the servers were friendly and the service was generally good. For the meals, my mother and I ordered the sea bass and my dad ordered the burger. The food looked great upon arrival and that was a definite plus! The key reason for my dad ordering the burger was that it came with an over easy egg on it and he'd never seen that as an option before. When the burger arrived and he tried it, he commented on how dry the burger was which made us ask the server about the egg. We were informed he "was supposed to have been told that the restaurant is out of eggs" but that there was nothing that could be done now. It was a bit frustrating and he didn't enjoy the burger because of it. As for the sea bass and sides, it was an OK dish but was far from one of the better ones I've tried. At the end of the meal, we did see that they added a credit (of about $2.50) for the egg which seemed ridiculous and not even worth doing at that point. All in all, the experience and food wasn't bad but it also isn't a place I'd visit again considering the price/ value of the meal. read more

I give this restaurant a Solid 4!! I have a few criticisms but still a solid 4!! Our waitress was great and she suggested the Bang Bang Shrimp as an appetizer. It was the best shrimp we had in Galveston. Lightly breaded fresh shrimp with just a little Bang Bang Sauce. Best I have had anywhere!!! My husband got the Gumbo and he thought it was very good. I loved the presentation with the mini Tabasco Sauce bottle. I ordered the Bacon Wrapped Scallops. The flavor was good but they weren't really wrapped in bacon. It was like they placed each slice to circle around the scallops. A bit of a disappointment. I got mashed potatoes and veggies with it. The veggies were cooked to perfection and really delicious. The mashed potatoes came with a white gravy that was not mentioned on the menu. The second star of the meal was my husband's dinner. He ordered the Seafood Pasta with Marinara Sauce. They have two other sauces you could choose from as well. As soon as they placed his dish on the table I KNEW it was going to be amazing! Solid chunks of shrimp, scallops and swig. Swig was new to us. Our waitress told us it was Japanese catfish. My husband really liked it and stated how flavorful it was. I got to taste his dish and it was yummy! We both agreed the sauce made all the difference. It is what I would call New England Tomato Sauce. If you know, you know. Sort of like a real Italian grandmother would make. We also both noticed that the dish was not overloaded with pasta which is what is usually done. No, the pasta accompanied the seafood not the other way around. Perfect!!! We asked for bread and the waitress asked us if we wanted the garlic bread and we declined saying we just wanted bread or rolls. She suggested the sourdough bread and we agreed. It came out as two slices of sourdough toast! Hmm??? That was fine. Not a problem at all. Just a bit odd. Since we were on vacation, we will not be back till next year but we know we will be ordering the Bang Bang Shrimp and the Seafood Pasta with Marinara Sauce!!! We will dream about it till then. What they did good was exceptionally good! Probably better than anyone else in the area. Beware that there are many stairs to get to the door. Not a problem for most people but just wanted to make everyone aware. We chose to sit outside on the enclosed deck which was a rather casual room. BUT!! Next time we will be dining in the main dining room which has white table cloths and an elevated ambiance that their food deserves!!! read more

We ordered a lobster bisque as well with some calamari as an appetizer. For the entrees we got a seafood pasta and a seared tuna since we were 4 people. The ones pictured were fine and the calamari was perfectly crispy, but the lobster bisque was way too salty. On the other hand the seared tuna didn't exactly taste fresh, and was very greasy. The seafood pasta was also just "okay", it tasted a bit homemade. read more

This has been our go to this week while on the island. We visited twice for lunch and on Thursday night for steak night. Consistently good food. I am celiac and they have gf items marked on the menu and attentive staff. We highly recommend. read more

Greeted and asked if we wanted inside or the enclosed porch. We chose the view of course! Casual atmosphere but inside does have white tablecloth setting. There is Social Hour from 2-6 so I chose the Raspberry Truffle Martini. It was not my favorite as it had a jalapeño taste to it. The mini crab cakes came out with marinara sauce. Definitely ask for the horseradish. The Hot Crab & Shrimp Dip is delicious served with chips and pita bread. We finished with the key lime pie and it was the best! read more

The food was not good: Pork chops unseasoned and dry- these were thick chops so it took some time to dry them out so badly! Starter crab cakes- confused with pancakes! Never saw such thin crab cakes band guess what very little crab to them. A food disaster! read more

Food was great, we had fish and also stuffed shrimp. Beautiful out door eating with gulf shore view.

I've been here a couple times now and I really like it. It's fairly new and it's great because it's on the west side of the island which has limited choices. I love that their seating is indoor, outdoor and indoor/outdoor (sort of like an enclosed deck with windows). Very nice depending on your mood (or the weather). The staff is very friendly and attentive. They have a pretty extensive menu (pics attached). Dinner can be a bit pricey, but lunch is very affordable. Both of my visits were during lunch. Lunch is from 11am-4pm At lunch, we've tried: - the Chicken Melt -- chicken breast (grilled or fried, I got grilled); havarti cheese, bacon, lettuce and avocado on sour dough served w/fries (pic attached). I left off the pesto mayo I really enjoyed this sandwich - shrimp po boy (pic attached) served w/fries. Not bad, but typical - grilled salmon served w/ mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. I substituted mashed potatoes with extra vegetables (pic attached). I asked for the salmon to be cooked medium and it was perfect (pic attached). Really good. - the cuban, a sandwich served w/ Cajun fries (pic attached). My husband really enjoyed it. This is a really good hang. They have a happy hour, but the best value for food is for lunch read more

Really like this place. Solid and focused menu. It's really speaks to the Texas palate, with gulf seafood favorites, and steaks of the seared and the fried kind. Surprisingly good spirit selection. WP 6 yr mixers all the way up a WP 15 yr. Buffalo Trace distillery is represented in here with their most popular expression sans Rip and Pappy. Good selection of additive free tequila and mezcal too. Happy with my app of mini crab cake, dipping in their sauce is a must, takes this dish from ahrite to pretty good,. My e tree Caesar salad was a half head of lettuce and takes at a 1/2 lb of perfectly grilled salmon. Service was friendly and knowledgeable it's a must do while here on the island. read more

Cooper's Landing is one of the better restaurants on the west side of the Galveston Island. Quality craft cocktails, wine list, and lunch and dinner menus that feature seafood, steaks, pastas. We dined there are New Years Eve/my beau's bday, and we started the early dinner with Greek salad (needed a lot more feta and olives), the hot crab and shrimp dip, and Shrimp Kisses. I ordered the linguini and clams diablo - a house favorite; my girlfriend ordered the same but opted to switch sauces to a garlic butter; and my beau went for a steak. They have weekly specials, like, Monday - kids eat free! (with adult entree purchase), Tuesday Burger Day, etc.... Social hour: Mon-Fri 2-6pm with $5 wells, $6 wines and bubbles, $8 select craft cocktails, $1 off beers (and beers are pretty cheap to begin with), and small plate menu. There's bar, dining room, and covered patio seating (this resto used to be a German-themed burger bar... though I can't remember the name, as it was only opened a few months out of the year). So this is a great addition to the area! read more

Our last night in Galveston and we decided on Coopers Landing, and I'm so glad we did! The staff was friendly and had some good recommendations:) we sat in the enclosed patio, with the doors open with a nice breeze, had a slight view of the water which was nice. We ordered The Cooper Landing Salad to start with and split, thank goodness we did, it was huge and plenty for 2. It had Fried Goat Cheese midallons that were so good! My husband got the Seafood Pasta, had a spicy marinara sauce which was good, I got the Pan fried Chilian Sea Bass w/Scallop which was cooked to perfection, and ordered the Keylime pie to go for dessert which was very tasty.. read more

Uneven food and poor service (although the servers are friendly) were the main issues at Cooper's. What's good: cocktails, wedge salad and fried shrimp. What's not: much of the fried seafood platter, sides, and prime rib. Service is slow and we were ignored much of the meal while servers chatted up other tables. Not recommended. There are better places. I'd skip this one. read more

Went for dinner on a Tuesday night. Business is a little slow, but service was fantastic. I had the chef's choice "no-brainer". This was a shrimp, stuffed red fish covered with a creamy crawfish sauce. Excellent meal. My wife had golf crabcakes also very good. The restaurant is a little smaller. We sat on the covered patio, which can be opened to the outdoors, but it was a little chilly and foggy tonight so everything was closed up. Great meal will come again. read more

Husband and I stopped in as it was close to where we were staying and it had great reviews. Great wine selection and cocktails. We started with the lobster bisque which was good, but had an unexpected tangy flavor. I ordered the tuna which was delicious, especially the spinach and my husband ordered the ribeye which was very disappointing. It was extremely thin and a little overcooked (probably due to it being so thin). Not anywhere close to a $45 steak. He did substitute the seasonal veggies for the Brussels sprouts which were to die for! Service was good - so friendly. I do recommend this place, just skip the steak... read more

My family came here for a weekend lunch on our trip to Galveston. We loved that there were ample parking spots. Additionally, we were able to be seated indoors in the AC which was lovely.

It was our 47th Wedding Anniversary and we were enjoying a week at the beach with our Texas kids and grandchildren. We all went to Cooper's Landing because of the view and because it was close to our rental condo. Boy were we glad we did. Our server was amazing. He knew just what a party with young children needed. He got them drinks immediately, then put their food order in with our appetizer order. As a result, they didn't get hangry and were excellent company. The drinks were excellent, I had a dirty margarita and the waiter helped my wife pick out an excellent wine. Everyone enjoyed their main selections. I had blackened snapper, the wife had shrimp. Both were fresh, well prepared and plated. Delicious. This is an unassuming building that hides an excellent restaurant. If you're in the area, no need to drive all the way into Galveston for a good meal! read more

Long gone is the casual and easy going jetty burger of Cafe Michael Burger. No more can you dunk your arm in a trough and pull out an ice cold European beer to pair with your brats and stone ground mustard. Cooper's Landing has classed up the joint in some elegant ways, especially the bathrooms. However, it is almost as if this was compensating for their lack of service. We came in asking for a seating for 5, and they were able to quickly sit us at a 4 top and add a chair. However, neither menus nor water were offered. After almost 10 minutes without being greeted, a server finally came to the table and blamed the hostess. Rather than deal with this level of service, we decided to try somewhere down the road. read more

I reviewed this place in 2022 and was excited to come back. It was not the same. Lobster Bisque was good. Ceviche Tostadas were basically inedible. They were way over dressed and all I could taste was the dressing on them. Companions mashed potatoes may have been instant. They were the worst mashed potatoes I've ever tasted. His Beef Tenderloin skewers were cooked correctly but no flavor. Service was adequate with Dorian being very friendly. Not sure I will try this place again. At the price point I had higher expectations. It was not the same experience as 2022. read more

Great spot for lunch in the Galveston area. Overall though I'd rate it a 3.5 but I'm rounding up to a 4. Parking: There's quite a big lot for parking and it's all free parking. That being said, I imagine on a busy night the lot could get full. Location: Woodys is across the highway, so your view from the restaurant is road, woodys, then the water. That being said, the patio is high up so you do get a good view of the water. Unfortunately the traffic sounds are a bit much. We went on a weekday and though there was less traffic than the weekends, it was still significant. Seating: There's bar, indoor, inner patio, and outer patio. The inner patio is still covered while the few seats on the outer don't seem to be. We sat at a table right inside the inner area and it was perfect- we were iyt of the sun while still enjoying the fresh ocean breeze. Food: The food was fine. This is the reason for my lower rating. I ordered the poke bowl which was on the spicier side but I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of fish included. This was the main food highlight. The rest of the food we got at the table was good - not particularly noteworthy or mind blowing but an enjoyable lunch. For us, the price was a bit high for the quality of the food and we would probably return here more for the location/ convenience rather than the lunch menu itself. I do have to say, going between Jamaica Beach and Galveston, this is a great stop along the way. We are jnterested in trying a dinner menu here read more
