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.

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.

First of all, the vibe and atmosphere are exactly what you expect and exactly what you want. Nicole, our server, was outstanding. Not only was she attentive, but she knew the food menu and the beer menu inside and out. She's funny, spectacular, and worth going just to see her. BUT the food is just as AMAZING!!!!!!! We ate as much as we could, but took leftovers home for breakfast tomorrow :) On our way out the door, we met the owner, Tom. What a man! Both of us originally from the east coast, within 20 miles of each other, so we bonded instantly. What. A. Man. So friendly, so kind! Food 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10 Staff Friendliness 100/10 Tom, Nicole - because of you both (especially Nicole), along with how delish the food is, we're already planning on going back tomorrow and Monday to try the rest of the menu!

The menu looks like a fun mix of an English tavern (bangers and mash) with tex Mex (burritos). They also have interesting options like Rueben egg rolls. Our bartender Sammy was very friendly. The drinks were good. Nice vibe. Friday night had live music. Place smelled a bit like a urinal cake or something but that was the only downside. Lots of TVs on, with a variety of things to watch. Would definitely return. 4 stars Night 2: came in for dinner the day after coming for drinks. Bri was our server. Very friendly. Food was great. I got the seafood pasta and my husband got the steak bomb. We shared the spinach artichoke dip as an appetizer. He had two Moscow mules and I had a white wine. All very good. Came out to $86 before tip. No smell this time so I'm bumping it up to five stars. I hope to stop into this place on future visits to Galveston.

It works well and the servers are attentive and numerous. We ordered the Diablo Grilled Shrimp, Onion Rings and a Rum Punch. My Diablo Grilled Shrimp were spicy but not overly hot. They were cooked perfectly with that crisp snap. Grilled vegetables were well seasoned and crisp, not grilled to death. The green chili rice burst with flavor and clumped together the way I love, not in tiny individual pieces of rice. The Onion Rings had great flavor and expertly fried The Rum Punch a let down. It was a good drink it just wasn't cold, cold even with the ice. Shake it then pour it over new ice. But it was good for $11. I really like The Spot! It's fun and the food is great. It's crowded and can get a little claustrophobic though.

But that's a very good sign and even though we dispaired finding seating for three hungry people, the back room was opened up for the overflow crowd that I'm not sure they expected. While waiting, we had some excellent draft beer. If you find that you're craving something more exciting than the usual suspects, this is one of the great Galveston places to be. Sure there's Bud and Bud Light to be had, but DON'T. Give your taste BUDS a thrill and get a brew from their generous list of suds. It was a wait for the crawfish, but patience is a virtue that definitely paid off for us. This was Vudoo Viet-Cajun rather than traditional, and I think it was the perfect first choice for the season - with just enough spice, just enough citrus, and decently sized mud bugs, our three pounds practically put us in a swoon. Beerfoot serves crawfish at 2:00 on Sundays throughout the season, excluding Mother's day, and my advice is to get there around 1:00, find your table, get a beer, and prepare for some very good eats!

I don't often write reviews, and I especially don't like leaving negative reviews, but I feel this…read moreone is necessary. When trying a new restaurant, I rely heavily on customer reviews to help make my decision. So, on Saturday, August 1, after a long day of shopping, my family and I decided to give Doc Holliday's a try for an early dinner. We knew it would be busy since it was one of the last weekends of summer before school started, so we expected a crowd. Despite the restaurant being packed, our service was friendly and surprisingly quick, which I definitely appreciated. I had visited Doc Holliday's before and really enjoyed my meal, so I was looking forward to going back. Unfortunately, this visit was a completely different experience when it came to the food. I recommended the baby back ribs to my niece because I remembered how much my boyfriend raved about them on a previous visit. Unfortunately, the ribs she received were extremely tough. She couldn't cut them, much less eat them. I had also loved the roasted Brussels sprouts during my previous visit, so I ordered them again. This time, they were very disappointing. They didn't appear to be roasted at all and seemed more like they had been boiled, with very little to no seasoning, and then covered in balsamic glaze. The rest of my family had similar complaints about their meals. Overall, the food seemed to be lacking the seasoning and flavor we expected. What made it especially disappointing was that this was not at all my experience during my first visit. I understand that restaurants can have an off night, especially when they are extremely busy, so I'm not someone who normally rushes to leave a negative review. However, when several people in our party have similar complaints, I feel it's worth sharing. Unfortunately, this experience was enough that my family has officially banned me from choosing a new restaurant for a while. I really hope this was simply an off night because I genuinely enjoyed my first experience at Doc Holliday's and would hate for someone else to have the same experience we had this time.

We have been here and able to sit outside without having to pay $25 to eat/drink at an outside bar?…read moreNeedless to say, we went inside and sat at the bar. The servers were all very pleasant and knowledgeable with a few good recommendations. Started with an Expresso martini. It tasted like a shaken shot of Tito's Expresso vodka, which I like, it's strong, but would have been good shaken with a little Baileys :) The Gulf Shrimp was the star of the night. Very fresh, nice size for the price and I love their house made tarter/raumelade sauce. Split the Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich with my husband. Pretty disappointed. Did not have a buttermilk coating, it was more like a frozen chicken patty:( the slaw was tasty, but a little saucy for me. Loved the Fries and Homemade Chips and their Ranch was good! Nice bustling atmosphere with multiple televisions and nice comfortable bar area.

It was our last night in Galveston, and we wanted a good dinner. Nick's is actually a very large…read morerestaurant, which is deceiving from the outside. When we walked through the doors, we were shocked how large a space it was, but it is very open, bright, and inviting. We were seated in one of the semi circular booths, which was enjoyable. We ended up deciding to order a variety of appetizers, so that we would have room for dessert. We had no idea that even appetizer portions were huge! We ordered chicken wings, onion rings, and a garlic shrimp appetizer. We were not enthralled with the garlic shrimp appetizer, the garlic was so overwhelming that it made it hard to enjoy the dish. The onion rings were huge, and there was an enormous amount of them. We could barely make a dent in that appetizer. The real star was the chicken wings. They were extremely well done, and the Thai chili sauce topping was excellent. Despite being overwhelmingly full, we decided to go forward with splitting the crustless pecan pie dessert. It comes out warmed, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was chuck full of pecans, and was absolutely excellent. The ice cream was a delicious counterpart to the pie. Our server was super friendly, and we enjoyed our experience at Nick's immensely. We would highly recommend!
