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..

We had to wait about 30 minutes to get a table, but the bar was open with a full service bar, so I'd recommend getting reservations if you're going on the weekend.

The food was surprisingly tasty, but the sides were so good that I would have been satisfied just eating the sides--they were extremely delicious. The waitstaff did a great job and was attentive. We will definitely come back and would highly recommend.

The food did take a minute to get to the table.... But we were one of the first tables, actually THE first to be seated that evening. 3 out of the 4 people at our table said their food was horrible. One had chicken fried steak and complained that it was 'all breading' and couldn't taste the steak. One had a Philly cheesesteak type sandwich and complained that the steak was cubed as opposed to thin sliced like a cheese-steak should be. Also said it tasted nothing like it should've. The third person ordered a seafood dish that wasn't thoroughly cooked, as well as a side dish of a vegetable (can't remember which one) that tasted as though it had been soaked in pure vinegar. My plate was fine. But, I just had a plain ol' hamburger. The restaurant didn't even have the manager come over to discuss the issues at our table, which I thought was odd. Due to the multiple issues with the meals at just our table -- I doubt my family will return.

I'm unfortunately a quality manager so I wanted to cry seeing this business so clearly unprepared for the students. Their management it terrible. Thurs, 05/14/2026, I chaperoned my three daughters who went to Main Event for their participation in band and for top AR points for the school year. We were there for five hours and the experience was terrible. This was mainly due to Lumberton chaperones sitting at the bar while their students TERRORIZED the facility the entire time. There was bare minimum staffing when over 100 Lumberton students & over 100 Port Arthur students were present. Laser Tag Upon entering our schedule for my group had us at laser tag. A Lumberton group was already playing. There was ONE Lumberton kid at the door, two Lakeview Elementary groups ahead of us and two Lucian Adams groups, mine included. Lumberton kids proceeded to cut the line and take all guns once the initial group inside finished. Port Arthur moms were shocked and let it happen. A Lumberton adult entered with just enough time to get his gun and join them though. He was also the ONLY Lumberton employee/parent we saw for two hours. We assumed he was alone by himself with 100+ kids. Main Event employee was completely dissociated, unaware, and unhelpful. No structure or organization was set up for him to handle that many kids. Port Arthur moms(3) had to organize the lines, and put up the VIP door strip to keep the new set of Lumberton kids that joined from cutting the line. As the two PA schools let their kids go, the other kids proceeded to push and shove and nearly break the glass enclosure. Food Service Two lines, one to order, one for ice cream. Older lady barely knew how to handle the register or the 50 kids in line. I sat in line for an hour as Lumberton kids continued cutting in groups. I skipped to the front of the line and let the lady know all the kids were cutting and proceeded to call on the Lumberton kids who were in line before me to allow them to go, made other kids get behind me then waited 35 minutes for an order of fries, chicken strips and 3 ice creams. The worker had no structure for the influx of customers in her line. No clear signage for the other 50 kids in the ice cream line who HADN'T paid and were only made aware when they got to the from to order their ice cream. 30 minutes waiting on ice cream because of that. No adult supervision from Lumberton to make that situation better/efficient. I had two sweet Lumberton girls apologize for her unsupervised classmates behavior. That was the only courtesy we received from the kiddos. Pushing & shoving in every area of the facility, no excuse mes. No manners at all. Bowling Our band teacher paid for Lucian Adams to have the VIP room but was shocked to see a Beaumont family was set up. This was an outside family not a Lumberton or Port Arthur students/teacher. He spoke to staff and we were only allowed two of our lanes and lounge area. It was awkward as they starred at us and we starred at them, all lost on the issue. The family tells us they came to bowl for a graduation celebration for their cute pre-K kid and the Lumberton kids took over every single public bowling lane available. There were 15-20 lanes. Keep in mind, ME was still open to the public and had two PAISD schools present! To rectify the issue, ME event gave them our VIP lanes, forgetting we had them paid and booked. They proceeded to apologize to us for the inconvenience which was not necessary because it was not their fault at all. Once we left they thanked us for our kids amazing behavior and held us at the door talking about how terrible the Lumberton kids were for 5 minutes. Bar The only good service we received was the young man at the bar. White(I assume) , small build, with teal/blue/purple hair maybe?? I don't remember his name but HE NEEDS A RAISE. We had semi long waits because it was so busy and all the PA moms and teachers finally took a break from watching our kiddos AND LUMBERTON'S so he was slammed. He was so helpful and courteous. He forgot things because of how busy he was but we never had to remind him. He'd eventually remember, apologize and get the item. I ate a huge double cheeseburger and fries and almost choked and died of thirst. Did I interrupt that sweet man's work? No sir I did not. He saw my empty plate, apologized and ran to get that drink. We were so happy to all tip him for his hard work.

The pepper jack boudin egg roll is different but worth the try. We went simple with both grilled and fried chicken and surprisingly it was good. Prices are more than reasonable and overall it was a good experience as we were pressed for time to get back on the road. Like most greasy spoons the restrooms are not great but good enough for a quick wash up.
