    Catfish & shrimp

    My bf Mom told him about this place. Always wanted to try it. Glad he did, it was amazingly good. Going back for sure!! I have so many different plates I need to try.

    I am shocked no one has reviewed this place yet! This place has been around for over 22 years and I have been eating here at least 17 years. This is truly a hidden gem hole in the wall. The Shrimp Galley is tiny and most people get their orders to go. Everything is cooked as it is ordered, no food sitting around here. Burgers, fried seafood, fountain drinks and the friendliest customer service. The same lady has worked the register forever...I can't even remember a time when she has not been there. She has gotten to know all the customers and always has a great attitude and smile. Surprisingly the prices manage to be affordable and the quality is great. The portions are big....each seafood order comes with toast (the old fashion kind with butter and grilled), salad and fries. I like that the seafood is fried with flour- not cornmeal. They serve the best cocktail sauce....not sure why or what makes it different but it is GOOD. I paid $13.99 total for shrimp basket & oyster & shrimp basket. Don't let the cheap prices fool you- the food makes my taste buds dance! I no longer live in the area but I do make it a point to stop by when I am around. Plenty of parking...support this local small business.

    I have been coming to Shrimp Galley as a kid. The good is super good and cheap. Burger and onion rings are damn good.

    Great double meat cheeseburgers beats McDonald's that's across the street.

    I live just a few homes down from this business. I've been a customer since 1995. Love this place, so good. Best in town for sure.

A pressure wash and quick table recovery/cleaning would make the experience even better. Overall, a great place for fresh and tasty seafood. We enjoyed it and would come back.

    I will forever be a friend of mambo seafood. Some of the best food you can get in Houston Texas…read more Their fish and shrimp are made to perfection and always fresh and full of flavor. Also, you cannot go wrong with the mambo fried rice. It's literally the best. To make it extra special put some of that hot habanero sauce on it and man you're talking about you got a great meal. Also, the pricing here is great. Where can you get a meal for lunch for around $10? Such a great value in my opinion. Also, recently they started up a loyalty program, which I think is amazing I come here all the time and I will absolutely take advantage of this. The service is usually really fast too. They'll get you in and out of here in like 15 or 20 minutes. All of their locations are consistently really good. Easy five star review.

    First time coming here and the experience was warm. Was met by the owner and his mother in law and…read morethey were both engaging. The ambiance was cozy and felt like a neighborhood spot that their frequent customers know, they can come here for their favorite dish. Decided to get their full order of fried shrimp and they didn't disappoint. They were fresh and they had just the right amount of seasoning to leave a lasting taste in your mouth. Definitely will be back to try something else from the menu.

    This is one of those spots that the locals know about. It's definitely...IYKYK spots. Outside,…read morethere isn't a sign that says the name. There's a place for it, but it may be under repair. ‍ I did get a laugh at the sign over the front door. Once inside I was pleasantly surprised! The bar is right up front, and to the left are several romantic swanky tables. Jazz and R&B music was playing. Great ambiance. Be careful when walking, because the floor is plank like flooring. Same for when heading out to the backyard patio area. I was told by my party to order food at the bar before going to the patio. This was a good tip because I didn't notice anyone servicing the tables prior to the food arriving. The outdoor area is literally like being in a backyard with several areas to sit. The food looked really good. However, being allergic to shrimp, I didn't want to risk eating fish fried in the shrimp oil. So I opted for the Cobb Salad. Note: They don't offer diet sodas. So I had water with a slice of lemon, in a fancy wine glass. I felt fancy! My group had an awesome time. Next time I may bring my citronella candle to keep the flies at bay, especially once the food arrives. I am looking forward to returning with my guy for a quaint dinner.
