    We are celebrating my 34th birthday early!!!

    Christina has been our bartender for the past 2 day and can I just say, YAAAASSS!!! We have had a great time watching the astros game! Christina directed us as to where we could grab some great food to go and bring it in to eat it at the bar! Highly recommended from 2 current out of town bartenders.

    Last stop at the end of a long night but I wish it would've been a first. There was nothing particularly exciting going on but it had a cool vibe and was most comfortable for us than any other bar on the strand. Bartenders were prompt and friendly. Drinks were reasonably priced and they had Corona on tap which is extremely rare. Local hangout for sure.

    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.

    This was a tough spot to rate. Came because they were so…read morewell rated, but I am not sure they deserve the high marks. The food was good, so the reviews were correct there. The pho was freshly made and the Bahn mi was delish. The bar "cannon balls" were obviously from frozen. I can accept it his but was disappointed with the price for something they just warm up. The pricing was a sticking point. I can accept that venues on the seawall need to cover more costs, but this quality didn't match the charge. Finally, the building in general just felt off. The layout was odd. All high seating (bar stools) makes it difficult for anyone with mobility issues. The theming is thorough, going with the pirate motif, however they also just phoned it in for most of it. The tabletops are screwed into the barrels beneath, with the exposed heads sticking above the table top. The sparse decorations placed inside are mostly from a Halloween store or Pirates of Caribbean props.

We have ben a total of 3 time THIS YEAR already and we are super impressed with the seating, the service (thanks to McClane, Allen, and Cameron), the TVs all around, the prices, and now the food! (the hotdog photo was taken after I cut a piece off for my friend to try. The burger photo was taken after my friend dug in. Too good to wait! Next time we will try the breakfast!!! 1/3/2026: We really like this place! I see it being a spot for spring coming up. Abundance of TVs, 2 patio sections with TVs, great inside seating with booths, high tops, and a bar top. Draven was a great server. He kept the drinks coming for our 4 top group. We only had drinks that night, but they have a full menu that I must try, including breakfast! I was super impressed with everything I saw and experienced. $50 (before tip) for 7 glasses of wine between my friend and me. That's fantastic! This used to be a BBQ place before they moved in. It is a little farther west away from all the super busy beach places. I prefer that. I think we found a winner! Seems like it could be a locals place, but having a beach house in the area, I'd say that classifies me as a local. :) We will be back, Draven! Thanks for the impressive service!!

We discovered it through Galveston Restaurant Week. They offered three course meals so diners could get a feel for what they offer. The portion sizes are insane. I never finish my meal, always take it to-go. You'll never leave hungry. Service is always warm and friendly. Our waiter, Aaron on our first visit was an absolute character. He kept the jokes coming. Nick's is part of the legendary Gaido family, an iconic seafood dynasty.

    We came here for appetizers after a long morning of driving 5 hours. We had the shrimp Mickey,…read morechilled shrimp, calamari, spinach & artichoke dip, and my youngest had the sliders. The shrimp Mickey was amazing and an unexpected flavor. I was expecting something closer to scampi flavor but it had way more depth. The dipping bread was also spectacular! The artichoke dip had huge chunks of artichoke in it so they did not skimp! Chilled shrimp was nice and fresh! My older kids didn't love the calamari but I think they were just overwhelmed by the tomatoes. The creamy tomato sauce that came with it was so delicious I would buy it jarred! My youngest reported loving the sliders and the fresh fruit cup was good fruit not cheap fruit. The sole reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the hostess humiliated my oldest, albeit unintentionally. He has a brain issue and is small. When I tried to give him an adult menu the hostess was questioning him on his age and was visibly surprised he is a teenager. I tried to shut her up but it ruined the experience for him bc he doesn't want to discuss medical info to make people stop talking. I could see if I were trying to get an older child a cheaper kid's meal but that wasn't the case. I think she just needs better training to not grill people. Just let them eat. The waitress was amazing and the bartender made the drinks PERFECTLY!

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!

I also got to try the seafood gumbo which I thought was good but nothing too unique. The grilled oyster sampler was really good, though I don't know what oyster was what, I wish there were labels or pictures, I didn't want to ask the workers since they seemed very busy. They were super accommodating with our group of 12 people we called in ahead to join the waitlist and they gave us a call and held the table for 10 minutes so we just walked around the area before.
