Street tacos
Jessica C.

This is definitely local and not a tourist trap. It is so down to earth, bartender was amazing and the FOOD WAS DOWN RIGHT AMAZING! We love a dive and this was it! We were on the island for a little get away the husband and I, I can say from all the places we went this was MY MOST FAVORITE! The drinks were well made, something you should expect at a bar and not all bars can do. No complaints on that at all! What shocked us and made us definitely want to come back for was the food! I was not looking forward to bar food completely bc I have a sensitive stomach but we ordered... STREET TACOS, the nachos, fries and wings. Nothing was greasy or oily which was amazing to me. Then the portions were great, the taste was phenomenal. Bar food can usually be frozen and reheated or oily and this was the exact opposite. It was fresh, tasty and perfect. This is definitely a must if you want low key hang out to watch a game. We were the only not locals and yet everyone was very friendly. The location was right off Strand and the inside was quiet and very clean.

Great late night spot. Catfish and pizza spot on. Great place to end the night. Kitchen open till 1. Solid dive bar. Great food!

Best local joint!

The most amazing fried catfish with homemade tartar sauce! And the best thin crust pepperoni pizza! Amazing food in a local hangout. And service was prompt and great! Highly recommend

Neon beckons you! Parking lot against side of building.

Jack's was one of the few places open on Christmas Eve and we were so happy to find it! We come to Galveston fairly regularly and we will definitely be back. The bartender was so nice, can't remember her name but she served delicious cocktails to us all night and was super friendly. We loved the free pool-and the overall relaxed neighborhood bar vibe. Regulars and staff were all super friendly. We ended up bringing home a pizza-which we really enjoyed-nice thin crust and the sauce wasn't too sweet-just how we like it. Cheap drinks, cheap food, excellent service, relaxed crowd. We will be back!

I came here for two things, the novelty of a pirate themed bar and Vietnamese coffee, however I…read morefound it to offer so much more! The food was astronomical, mark my words BEST PHO ON THE ISLAND, there I said it. The Pirate Seafood pho with chicken was dynamic with a flavor that I kept coming back for. It was like that scene in Ratatouille where the critic Anton Ego is at a loss for words. If there's one thing I know about Phos they usually take 3+ limes and a dollop of sriracha to make it taste right...but this? Perfect as is. Needs not a touch of anything more. My only regret not getting here sooner. Spike the owner, a loving man who cares about atmosphere, personalized service and taking care of your needs. He provided service as if you were sitting at the dinning room table of his own house. Show Spike and Pirate Island Bar & Grill some love, it's beachfront, quiet, and has a seat there just waiting for you.

This, as other Yelpers have noted, is not a fast food establishment. Everything is made to order…read moreand fresh. So, if you step in and it's a full house settle in and enjoy the experience! I eat here on a regular basis, Spike makes an amazing margarita with fresh squeezed juice. The pirate rolls, wings, Pad Thai with Grilled Pork (I prefer level 3 spicy because habenero keeps me humble), Banh Mi Sandwich and Vermicelli bowls are all on regular rotation. See you at the bar-but not on Tuesday, because they are closed.

March 17,2022 Came…read morein for St Patty's day; nothing reflects that here Bartender Mike is awesome and so were the other 2 bartenders; they all were so friendly. They let us taste different versions of Jameson's because we were trying to stick with the Irish theme We met some nice people too.

I'm adding 5 stars bc mollys is cool and you can smoke inside…read more I'm from the island and like pubs and Shit so I decided to start going there again after the peak of the pandemic. I was with a friend and we were talking mad shit about someone (we are both geminis ) sorry we like to gossip when we get a little buzzed. We are bad. Oh well. ....Anyways we were talking shit about someone for something ridiculous and fucked up they did to me and the bartender went and told that person I guess they knew them (small island LOLOLOLOLOL) Them telling this person made them start harassing me and making threats and literally calling my phone all night long. It was a nightmare. All bc this bartender didn't like the 80$ tip we left on a 65$ tab of shitty drinks. He was cool or so we thought! You are a traitor man !!!! We thought you were our buddy and we had some really good conversation and laughs ! :( :( I haven't been back since. I'm sure they don't give a shit about this review i wouldn't either. I just find it funny that I spent like 200$ on alcohol within a couple days there for them to make me the target of a stalker lol
