That being said, it had been some time since I've gotten some proper fish-n-chips. I had to remedy that. Especially since the BBQ fiasco the other day, I was going to go on a hunger strike, but once I made the sign, I got potato chip fingers on it and started to eat it. So, I decided to fight fire with fire, and figured I would eat myself happy again. Which I'm never mad about. Sometimes I make myself angry just so I can eat myself happy. And now, the rest of the story. I have learned that I enjoy Cod fish for my fish-n-chips. And I think also Haddock. I am not a fisher nor a fish. So it's hard for me to say. But I know Cod is one for sure. I also sometimes have baby mouth and am afraid of new things. I do know I love my fish battered and deep fried. I also know that Shark Shack had good reviews for their fish, so, that was all I needed to hear. Plus, it was a perfect little eatery with bar seating, table seating, and gifts! So you can bet your bottom dollar tomorrow I ordered the English fish-n-chips. Boy oh boy. Just like how Britain colonized all those countries back when it was the cool thing to do, these fish and chips colonized my taste buds. Respectfully. This plate came with FIVE logs of fish. FIVE! Maybe they were tubes of fish? Honestly, I don't care what shape they came in, they looked perfectly crunchy and perfectly brown and perfectly fish. The super cool extra bonus? These fish came with CRISPIES! I've only ever seen crisps with fish from Long John Silvers, whose fish is probably as far from Cod or Haddock as legally possible. I actually think one of my pieces of fish from there had shoelaces. Didn't matter. Still ate it. Respectfully. (If you aren't privileged enough to know what fish crispies are, there little batter pieces that fry or fall off the fish as they cook. Basically little crumblies. If you make a wish over a fork of them and get the forkful in your mouth without dropping any, your wish will come true). Homemade tartar sauce was good, but there was a certain flavor profile that I wasn't a fan of. It was still good to use on the fish rods, it just tasted a little too much out of the tartar sauce field for me. The meal was wrapped up nice and tight with lovely square-cut fries. Perfect doneness. Perfect Ketchup vessel. I could just stare at a pile of them all night. Mostly because I'm weird.

It has taken me a little while to write this review purely because I am so torn on the rating. Some…read moreareas of our visit warrant a 3-star rating, and some a 4-star. I decided to lean more toward the 4-star side, so here we are. While in Galveston for a quick weekend getaway, we wanted to go out for dinner. Katie's was my first choice, but the wait was too long, so I pulled up Yelp to see what else was recommended. Shark Shack had great reviews, and when we arrived there was zero wait, so we went for it. The one area where I docked a star was the service. We were seated immediately but waited quite a while for our server to appear, and then even longer to get our drinks. I was so excited for a margarita, but when it arrived in a plastic cup, I was immediately disappointed. Plastic cups are for the beach and nightclubs, not a restaurant with a bar. And that's not where the awful drink experience ended -- it was so weak and just not good at all. Our server seemed so disinterested in everything: taking our order, answering questions, and when it came time to pay, we had to wait ages to see him and wave him down. The food was decent with no major complaints. It wasn't "blow your mind" amazing, but it was good. The owner -- well, I assume he was the owner -- came and spoke to us when he found out my husband was military, and he was really nice, friendly, and very supportive of the military community, offering a very generous military discount. That definitely raises the rating and is much appreciated, so thank you. Overall, the big fixes for me would be the service and the drink situation. I can't say we would rush to come back just because we love Katie's for the service, food, and drinks..

Fall is officially here! Our late lunch/early dinner at Fish Company Taco was an autumn dream. We…read moretried going last week and we were dismayed to learn that the main menu items we wanted, oysters on the half shell and crudo, were sold out. Dejected. we headed home. Today, we hit the jackpot. Dan: a dozen oysters on the half shell, full sized crudo, and a Red Stripe. Me: 1/2 dozen oysters on the half shell, happy hour crudo, corn ribs, and a grapefruit guava frose. The meal: perfection! While I'm a sucker for East Coast/Canadian oysters, this Texas girl knows that Gulf Coast bivalves, when at their peak, are the very best The crudo really shone. The freshest snapper swam in a bath of refreshingly tart dressing and it was topped with something crunchy and briny. So good. Corn ribs: they're actually pretty silly, but that didn't matter. They were delicious. Red Stripe: no complaints from Dan. Grapefruit guava frose: best slushy drink ever. Takeaway: if you want to be served outstanding food in a great, relaxed setting, check out Fish Company Taco. Support local businesses!

Why 5 stars? Because this might be my new favorite restaurant in Galveston…read more --- --- --- We had been in Galveston for a couple of days, and while we had some solid meals, we were feeling kind of gross and overstuffed. Fish Company Taco proved to be like finding water in the desert. A lot of Galveston eateries are very similar, in that there's an ample amount of fried seafood on the menu, which is not exactly what you're looking for when you're in the bloated, but wanting to eat *something* state that we were in. My thought was: fish tacos are relatively light and we can walk there from our hotel - how do you beat that? What I didn't realize is that this place probably belongs more in the Heights than Galveston. And I mean that in a good way. The menu is very hipster-coded. And the food matches with hipster quality. It's hard to say what my favorite item even was. The one thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the fish dip - it was just okay. Everything else ranged from good to great. We tried... The burger: FYI, it's more like a double stacked slider than a burger, but delicious. 3 Tacos: Dirty South, Empire and Korean Flavors. I really liked the empire and the korean flavors, but thought the dirty south had a little too much going on with the pimento cheese and chips. Sticky Shrimp: I don't even know how to describe this, but it was delicious. I thought it as more like bang bang shrimp, but it was more fried that I expected. But not hardcore fried - they almost had the airy texture of fried pork skins, but were much tastier. Chili marinated Cucumbers and corn ribs: Simple, refreshing and addicting. But I liked the cucumbers a bit more. They also had some fresh juices and we enjoyed both the mango and the coconut lime concoctions. An easy 5-stars for me and a place I will definitely recommend to anyone visiting Galveston.

All the hotdogs on the menu are $8 each except the French Dip $9 and the Carolina $10. When making it a combo (add FF and a drink) add $7 more. My total was $23 for 2 hotdogs, a drink and a FF. The NYC had onions and sauerkraut, the Local had blended queso w/ground beef. The Philly has peppers, onions and provolone, and the Chicago had veggies. All the dogs tasted good cuz they're Nathan's, the bread used was fresh, FF were tasty, the wieners could be hotter (temperature wise) upon serving. And there could be more ground beef in the queso on the Local dog. The sodas have the good ice...soft airy crunchy. The menu offers other items, chicken tenders, sliders, grilled cheese, frito pie, salads, deviled eggs, fried cheese curds, fried pickles, etc They have several beer choices, frose', wine and frozen margaritas (made with wine) Connected to restaurant is their snow cone place.

I'm sort of embarrassed to admit we hadn't been. We watched Ashley and Michael Cordray transform a vintage filling station into a restaurant on Restoring Galveston and thought that they did an excellent job of it. But a hot dog, kid/family restaurant? Not really our vibe, or so I thought. Then I looked at the menu, read some reviews, and considered the importance of supporting local and trying something new. I mean, why not? Azar (my niece), Dan (my partner in dine), and I agreed on a dog day afternoon. Overall, we all agreed it was a good call. Azar: the Philly, fried okra, and a dirty Dr Pepper Dan: the Chicago with a veggie dog, fries, and a cherry Pepsi Yours truly: an NYC with a veggie dog, cheese curds, and Freakshow chardonnay in a very attractive can The verdict? Across the board, very positive. The only, and I mean the only, thing that was a bit of a miss was the veggie dog, and honestly I was not surprised. Veggie is not easy to pull off. Dan and I do not eat mammal so we were delighted that Local Dogs offered this option. We have had a lot of luck with Impossible meats. I don't know what this one was. It was okay, but texturally and flavor wise, it was a little off. Certainly edible, but not quite there. Everything else hit the spot. High notes: the okra! After a very light dusting of salt, it became the star of the show. So good! The fries were everything fries should aspire to be. Not hard, not soggy, but just right. Azar's dirty Dr Pepper had her smiling. The takeaway? We will definitely be back, rain or shine. The layout is inviting and comfortable, and the service was friendly. I think local, and visiting dogs, would really enjoy the patio area, too. Kudos to the Cordrays!

My wife chose the place and mentioned grabbing a breakfast burrito. I assumed this meant there would also be breakfast tacos. We arrived, and it turned out, there were no breakfast tacos. Is this the only place in America that serves burritos, but not tacos? What an unexpected twist! But my disappointment didn't last long, as I read the ingredients of the most popular item: the aptly named, Bronco Burrito. It had everything I love for $8, so I was happy to order it. As it turns out, it was close to everything I dreamed of, minus one detail. I felt the potatoes were a bit too prevalent, and each bite was overwhelmingly starchy. I still enjoy it overall, but if I returned, I would order minimal potatoes and extra bacon in its stead. Otherwise, this proved to be a great pre-schlitterbahn carb up spot.

If you do not feel like waiting and are in a rush, this is not the place for you. Please come back when you have time to enjoy the atmosphere and the amazing food. I was telling one of the servers to please pass along my compliments to the chef and the owners. I was having a rather rough morning on our first visit. The best way I can describe the deliciousness of the food was that I went from being a little bit meh, to a strong to feeling like I was having a warm hug. I ordered the biscuits and gravy my other half ordered the berries and cream cinnamon French toast, and my little ordered the Mickey Mouse pancake with cinnamon. We came back another day and all ordered the same thing again, and it was just as amazing as the first time. The inside of the building is quite rustic. Even though you are waiting a bit for your food, there is so much to look at that time just passes by. Even in the bathroom will keep you occupied, and not just with the normal activities . The staff was amazingly friendly. On the second day, the gentleman server did not know whether the Mickey Mouse pancake should have the cinnamon bun toppings on it (you know,...because kids might start bouncing off of the ceiling), or sprinkles and whipped cream. We requested the latter and he came over and put on a tiny show for my little. The gentleman made a fun little show of putting whipped cream on Mickey and let my little decorate his own pancake. Definitely a 10/10 experience and we will be returning when we are around these parts again.
