Strawberry margarita and dirty martini
Trenise B.

Salt grass is alway a fav! Service is alway good and so is the food! We love their happy hour! Saltgrass is that spot for a dinner date or chill bar meet up!

David S.

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
Jessica M.

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
Cora R.

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!!!

Cutting across Texas to New Orleans, I knew we would be skimming the shore of the Gulf of Mexico…read more Shut up. My review, I can call it what I want. 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..

I was getting pretty bummed but I was patient and understanding. The manager (I believe he was the manager I didn't catch his name but he was in a red shirt and spoke with an accent,) was very apologetic and helpful. He updated me often about the status of our table and treated us to an appetizer to make up for the wait. Food was hot and so tasty. I will be back :)

We were in Galveston for Memorial Day weekend and we came here on a Sunday night…read more They were shortstaffed so thank goodness I made a reservation so they seated us right away but if you did not make a reservation, they told you it was a 25 minute wait even though there were seats available. So other than the service being a little slow, the place was really cute. The ambience is amazing. I love the big chandelier. It gives you old-time rich vibes. Their menu has different options. They do have a vegetarian portion. The samosas were kind of like beef, taco mimosas that's what it taste like to me. They're red fish was really good cause the crab crusted on the outside and the sauce mixed together. I definitely recommend getting that if you like fish. I got it with a side of mac & cheese. It does come with veggies, but they let you change out the side. My mom got the margarita pizza and I've had pizza for sure but they do have five or six options of pizzas to choose from. And all the best thing was the bread pudding. Definitely get that save some room. It was warm with ice cream and the perfect bread pudding. I've ever had get it. There is street parking after six. It's free. There's a garage parking too. I don't know how much it costs. Besides the service, everything was really good. It took them a while to fill up our waters, but I did notice they were shortstaffed.

We are admittedly food snobs. our meal from start to finish was nothing short of spectacular. We highly recommend starting with the CRAB STUFFED SHRIMP, (yum). The WEDGE (get a half!) is so good and fresh (I had no blue cheese, substituted with ranch). The WHITE (loaded chowder) and the JOBBER (loaded gumbo) were totally delectable. They both came with crispy garlic bread. THEN, even though we didn't need it, we shared the CRUISER LINGUINI (linguini with clams, bacon, white wine sauce, tomatoes, leeks) seriously totally to die for. We counted at least 30 little neck clams. We could have rolled out the door by now, but nooo... we had to have dessert. We chose the Crème Brûlée Trio. The selections are seasonal. Tonight was coconut, tres leches, and pecan. Of course we added cappuccino and Baileys. We couldn't have asked for anything better. Our server, Misty was a delight. We WILL be back!!

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.

Walking into the Grand Galvez for Sunday Brunch always feels like stepping into a bit of old‑school…read moreGulf Coast glamour -- polished serviceware, a terrace that looks out over the water, and a buffet that's unapologetically extravagant. The food really is the highlight. Raw oysters come out cold and clean, the kind that make you stop for a second because they're that fresh. The prime rib is carved to order and surprisingly tender for a buffet line, with that slow‑roasted richness you hope for but don't always get. The omelette station turns out made‑to‑order plates with plenty of fillings and cooks who actually pay attention to what you asked for. And the chicken and waffles -- hot off the iron, crisp, sweet, and genuinely satisfying -- are worth the wait every time. Then there's the dessert room. Not a dessert table, not a dessert corner -- a full room dedicated entirely to pastries, cakes, mousses, tarts, and confections. It's theatrical in the best way, and it's one of the reasons the brunch has always felt like a special‑occasion splurge. But the disconnect comes from something the hotel itself emphasizes. On the brunch reservation page, the dress expectations are printed clearly and prominently -- essentially no shorts, no swimwear, no hats, and gentlemen should be in collared shirts or similar attire. It reads like a firm standard meant to preserve the elegance of the dining room. Despite that, we saw plenty of guests in beach shorts, cutoffs, t‑shirts, baseball caps, and even a someone with a chain running from a facial piercing to one of the studs on their shredded jeans. No judgment toward anyone's personal style, but it's noticeably at odds with what the hotel says it requires. For a brunch that runs close to $100 per person, in a historic hotel that prides itself on refinement, it's hard not to feel the mismatch. The staff seems more focused on getting bodies through the door than maintaining the ambiance they themselves advertise. It doesn't ruin the food -- the food is excellent -- but it does sour the overall experience enough that, even after enjoying it on several special occasions, it's no longer something we plan to keep in our rotation.

Located within the Grand Galvez hotel, there is a sometimes-strict dress code. Men are expected to…read morewear collared shirts to enter, but they don't always enforce it. There is free street parking behind the hotel (on the north and west sides of the hotel). Service was friendly and so pleasant. We were sat right away on a Friday night. The menu was much smaller than I would've expected, especially for such a big restaurant. We ordered the goat cheese & onion tart, Caesar salad with chicken, seafood bisque, the New York strip special, and the key lime pie. Food is going to be hard to rate because it took SO long for it to come out, it was cold. It had clearly been sitting there for quite some time. We honestly thought our order had been lost by the time it came out so we weren't surprised, but very disappointed. The steak was very fatty, and cold. The chicken with the salad was cold and had given rubbery, but the Caesar salad itself was great. Very refreshing and crisp. Seafood bisque was also very good and thankfully came out first so it was still hot. The goat cheese & onion tart was very cold and at that point hard & inedible. We still appreciated the atmosphere and service, but wouldn't return unless it was for a drink and appetizers.
