Fisherman’s Wharf
When dining out in the summer season you probably want to keep things casual so the whole family can enjoy their meal. Galveston features all kinds of local restaurants that include waterfront views. This includes local favorite Fisherman’s Wharf where you can find all kinds of locally caught seafood inside their welcoming space. When you arrive you will have the option for indoor or outdoor seating depending on your preference; we truly love a spot outdoors around happy hour so you can see the ships in the harbor and feel the cooler weather kick in. The menu at Fisherman’s Wharf is perfect for those who want to enjoy the local seafood of Galveston. You will find that the seafood selection is caught daily and offers some tasty specialty dishes. Local favorites include the crab stuffed tilapia, crab cakes, stuffed flounder, red snapper, mahi mahi, and so much more.

Doc Holliday’s Roadhouse
If you are looking for a relaxing evening at the local watering hole that also offers a spot to eat come on down to Doc Holliday’s Roadhouse. This saloon-style restaurant and bar is the best spot to find a pint of beer that is paired with an entrée of choice. Doc Holliday’s Roadhouse is designed to serve up your favorite bar food that will not disappoint. Their sandwich saloon selection will easily fill you up at lunch before you continue with your exciting summer day. Try out their buffalo crispy chicken sandwich or Deadwood prime rib. Just because it is a saloon does not mean you cannot enjoy a full service dinner too. Stop by in the evening for one of their main dishes that do not skimp on flavor. These meals feature fish n chips, blackened mahi mahi, pork chops, BBQ ribs, and of course plenty of burgers and steaks. Kids are more than welcome here at Doc Holliday’s and there is a lengthy kids’ menu to pick from; have them pick out from alfredo pasta, pizza, chicken tenders, and more.
