Beno’s is our first stop for dinner ! Been going there for over 30 years! Never disappoints! Nice amazing dinner Rudy and Pacos! Black Pearl! StingArey on Boliver and you get to ride the Ferry over!
Galveston and it's beaches are a nice place. People love to take a big dump on Galveston and it's beaches, i.e., they're nasty, dirty, don't compare to California, Hawaii, Florida, etc, etc...or obviously not as pretty and cool as South Padre Island, but it's not that bad. Galveston beaches are not top tier, but they are not as shitty as people make them out to be. Galveston is a beautiful historical town, and the beaches are OK, nice enough. The breeze makes it cool, even in the summer months, much cooler than the rest of Texas.
@@BlueLineChopHa! Last time I was in Galveston we went into the gumbo diner and I was so mad at how gross it was and overpriced that I complained big time! A bowl of watery NON AUTHENTIC GUMBO that was flavorless and watery...cost a fortune too.On top of that they serve instant crappy tea! No thanks! Shrimp n stuff is a gem and go to for us.We go to the Ave O location.The garden room area is nice and its my favorite little hidden place on the island just about.The gumbo diner says its where the locals go...I call b.s! Im a cook and let me tell ya it was BAD!!! Total waste of money.I hate the place.🤢😡
Honestly no offense of course, these are mostly all crappy tourist trap places listed. La kings is great for treats of course, but you’ve yet to try actual local restaurants you can’t find anywhere else. Like for instance for your next vacation, try Henry’s Mexican on 29th and broadway for their literally one of a kind breakfast burritos. Try the surprise burrito. Can’t beat it! Make sure you eat it with their homemade hot sauce! Another is Gumbo diner on seawall. Fabulous shrimp po boys!
Hello. My husband and i are heading for Galveston in just 2 weeks. He was born there then adopted and has never seen his birth place. We are so excited about this venture. Our first reservation for dinner is Gaidos seafood. What is your thoughts on there?
I am going to make a list of some of the places you mentioned for sure. Jimmys on the pier is definitely on the list. Thank you for posting this video too 😊
The video starts with the least used entry to the island; from the west side. Take Hwy 288 south from Houston until you hit the coast and turn left. The reporter must not be from Texas; I promise that our Tex-Mex is NOT Mexican food (it's much better!). However... be suspicious of any Tex-Mex place that serves a real salad; we judge them by their salsa and chips.
If you think and act like a tourist then Im sure it sucks.I look for off the beaten path and as for the water color, its just from the mississippi.I happen to love so much about Galveston...yeah things cost money but that island has had its share of catastophe so its nice to see it thrive for the most part.The history alone is worth goin for!! If you dont know and appreciate the island in all its historic and roughness then of course you just wont see the beauty of the entire beautiful energy of Galveston island.Its a place like no other.
Willie G's & Katies Seafood House have some of the best Happy Hours Monday - Friday, the food and staff are amazing. Also Texas Tail Distillery is awesome!
