In a mixup of sorts, we ended up at the Saltgrass in Galveston on the wrong night from when we actually made our reservations. We told the hostess no hard feelings as it was our mistake and that if we could get our name on the list (it was in the midst of a busy Fourth of July weekend night) we would be much obliged. They actually were able to give us a booth with an extra chair to accommodate our party of five with my parents, wife and youngest daughter. I think we only waited for half an hour, so very thankful for their help after our mistake. Our serve Caitlin was very nice and helpful with all of our questions regarding different cuts of steaks and sides. Between us we had a Porterhouse (the largest steak on the menu), a sirloin, chicken fried steak, and a ribeye. (My daughter and I shared hence four meals instead of five). Across the board we thought the seasoning was great and cooked to perfection as she confirmed when she took our order. My daughter also wanted to try the Oscar (crab and asparagus topping) so we added that and she said she enjoyed it. The bill came out to about $170 before tip and we left a little more than 20% for the great help. It was busy but it didn't feel super crowded in the dining area. Though they had to seat us close to the bar area to accommodate a fifth chair at the booth, we never felt like we were in the way, nor did we feel like there was a distracting amount of traffic even though they were quite busy. Perhaps only thing negative to mention was my mother's drink took a while to get there, but finally Caitlin said she wouldn't come back without and she returned with it just as promised. It's just east of the pleasure pier so parking can be interesting, but they do have their own lot. Landry-affiliated restaurants are all over Galveston area and certainly some are better than others, but I'd say this one is worth a visit.

Shrimp and Artichoke Pasta
Jaydon R.

To start off, we were sat very quickly on a FRIDAY night! Our server Greg was amazing! Drinks, apps, and side salads were served extremely fast. The cocktails were superb at an amazing price point especially during happy hour, the well old fashioned was made with bulleit! We had the prime rib and Shrimp and Artichoke pasta. 10/10

House bread served after you order...nice & warm served with whipped butter

This is a very popular steakhouse in Galveston, I highly recommend a reservation. We didn't have one so we waited about 30-45 minutes for a table on a Friday night around 6 PM. We'll work the wait... big, good quality steaks chargrilled to your liking. My daughter & I split a 12 oz. NY steak with a side of sweet potato fries, and our choice of salad, we got the Caesar. We also had a side of brussel sprouts & a baked sweet potato. Dinner is also served with a round of sweet, brown bread that comes to the table warm. Rustic decor, just what you would want in a Texas Steak House, looked busy with locals & tourists alike. They have a lot of variety on the menu...ribs, chicken fried steak as well as seafood items to add on or order as entrees. We were so full from all the sides we ordered...no room for dessert!

Ribeye with mashed potatoes, fried green beans, mushrooms...early bird dinner.
Robert S.

Was in the mood for steak and found Saltgrass. Definitely a steak house but what we loved was the early bird dinners for under $25. We chose two rib eyes with fried greenbeans and mashed potatoes. OMG! Perfectly cooked steaks nd seasoned that we were able to eat entirely, no gristle and very flavorful fat. Came with sizable salads and bread. Green beans were lightly fried and the mashed were just the right amount. Also ordered the mushrooms to share...yummy Wonderful waitress who recommended the carrot cake for dessert! Huge and tasty, great frosting! Couldn't eat it all.

Top Sirloin and Shrimp

Went to saltgrass with my family and we had a great time! Crisana is AWESOME!! She was super sweet and friendly and gave us great service! Food was super yummy too! We are regulars and this is some of the best service we have received! Thank you Crisana!!!

We had some recommendations from people on the plane with us and we also…read morehad some recommendations from our Uber driver, but ultimately we needed to find a restaurant that had available reservations for the evening. We made an 8:00 reservation and then we're running late and called to let them know. They had no issues when we arrived even though it was 20 minutes late. The restaurant was smaller than I expected but very nice and when we arrived we were among the last tables to be seated for the evening. The servers were fantastic, and especially our server, Haley, who took care of all of our needs. She kept our water glasses full, kept checking on us and took care of all of our dinner needs. My mother and I started with the chowder and house salad. We then ordered our meal and my mother had the Cedar Plank Salmon and I had the Blvd seafood sampler with Redfish, shrimp and scallops and both of our meals were outstanding. The seafood chowder, even just a cup was huge with tons of seafood, so much so I was wondering if I'd be able to eat my meal. It was filling but I devoured the seafood and found that I love Redfish! Yvonne came over mid meal to check on us. I presume she was a manager. Blvd is an outstanding and reasonable restaurant and I highly recommend that you check it out if you are in the area or coming to Galveston for a cruise. I look forward to returning in the future.

From the herbed popover to the lobster salad we shared, we were off to a good start. They gave us a lovely window table for a short two minute wait. Our little Russian server was a doll, helpful and full of personality. The strange thing was, every time we asked for something, more tartar sauce, in house made ranch, drinks, someone new brought it to our table. It was very quick rather than waiting for our server for every little request. I ordered the Lobster Thermidor with skinny fries and hubby ordered the Alaskan Halibut Fish and Chips and both were absolutely outstanding. Best fish and chips I've ever had. The Halibut was cooked to perfection! The Thermidor was full of flavor, perfectly saucy with a simple and slightly cheesy Parmesan flavor. It said it had mushrooms in it, but I think it really only had three small pieces. I love mushrooms so I could've gone for more, but the whole dish was really outstanding. My fries were a bit more crispy than my husbands. All their sauces are made in house and are absolutely delicious, cocktail, tartar, and ranch. I was using them all for my frites. I would definitely love to come back for any special occasion. The only disappointment was the cheesecake at the end. It was just kind of boring. It could have been elevated by caramelizing the banana. In hindsight I would have chosen something different because an airier version of cheesecake, or something more delicate would have been a better finish to such a lovely, meal.

The service has always been friendly and attentive, making each visit enjoyable. My only complaint is the noise level. When the restaurant is busy, the sound echoes throughout the dining room, making it difficult to relax and have a conversation. The prices are definitely on the higher side, but considering how consistently busy they are, it's clear many people feel it's worth it. I'd say it's because it lacks competition. Overall, it's still one of my favorite places to eat in Galveston, and I always look forward to coming back.

They were served with a house-made "trio delight" dipping sauce that offered a nice little kick. For the main course, the delectable, house-made jumbo lump crab cakes were absolute divinity--delicious, melt-in-your-mouth, and awe-inspiring. They came served with white rice, an arugula salad, and a medley of fresh vegetables. We also tried a spectacular special: redfish topped with étouffée and two jumbo Gulf shrimp, served over a bed of dirty rice. The fish was perfectly flaky and robust with a great Cajun tinge. Our waiter, Victor was completely on point, though he did have to deliver two small tidbits of bad news: they were sold out of both the swordfish and the mousse cake. However, the rest of the meal more than made up for it. When it comes to Katie's, you'll never be disappointed.

(Maybe jazz, or something by definetly not pop) Service | 5/5 Our waiter, Caleb, was AMAZING! He was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our visit. Service is the No.1 most important thing in my opinion and Caleb knocked it out the park. Food | 4/5 I ordered the braised short rib, and the meat was incredibly TENDER! While I enjoyed the texture, I do think it could have used a little more flavor. A good marinade or deeper seasoning before cooking would really help bring out the richness of the meat. Now, the grits served underneath were extremely disappointing. They were water flavored and cold. Good grits need heavy cream or half-and-half, butter, and seasoning. For a dish like this, adding cheese would help. The pairing felt like an afterthought, almost as though they were trying to find a way to use up extra grits. My recommendation: Substitute the grits for mashed potatoes and request butter on the side. I think mashed potatoes would pair much better with the short rib. I got an off menu cozy apple turn over. It would have been good but it was cold. I definitely recommend it if we ensure it's hot when it comes. They switched it out for the Crème Brûlée for me and that was good! It had such a great crunch on the top layer. Overall Experience | 4/5

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.

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..

Also the mashed potatoes were in desperate need of cream and butter. Again, best service on the island. Just don't get the ribeye or potatoes. $300 should be well spent.
