Hey guys I'll be taking the family to Galveston in March and I am looking for a place to get some really good seafood. I am really intrested in a place that has good oysters on the half shell. Lets hear about you faviorate spots.

Gaidos is my favorite place for seafood in Galveston.

Gaido's x2 on the seawall...great view. Clary's once you get off the causeway on the right...need reservations, but FANTASTIC food!

Don't get me wrong, Gaido's has great food, but it has changed up quite a bit in the past 15-20 years. Everything is separate cost (side, potato, salad, etc.) can be pricey, but still good.

Haven't been since I was a kid, but back then it was Gaido's and it sounds like it still is.

Gaido's is great.

Gaido's or Landrys are usually predictable. like other Galveston Restaurants - can be hit or miss.

thanks for the input guys! Anybody else?

Papa Johns Seafood and Greek Kitchen is great food. And cheap. And Local products. Landrys is frozen and shipped in.

where are both of these located? I will be on the Island for a wedding in June and HAVE to eat!!!

Clary's. Gaidos has turned into a high dollar tourist trap.

100% !! And its not that good !

Benos, if its still there is Awesome. Not fancy but good !

Papa Johns Greek and seafood kitchen changed its name. Its now The Cajun Greek. Same folks and food though.

Shrimp n Stuff, or if you go over to Bolivar on the ferry try this place Steve's Landing. I pride myself on knowledge of great coastal seafood places.

GAIDO'S - ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree, Gaido's hasn't been good in years. Way over priced and not good.

I like the Red Snapper Inn in Freeport. It's about an hour from Galveston but it's worth the drive. Priced right and great food.

We go there every year and I would have to say Shrimp and Stuff on O Ave. is the best it is kind of a hole in the wall place but the food is awesome and so are the prices. Most hotels have a yellow postcard thing/red writing with a coupon attached.

Red Snapper Inn is good, is it still cash only??

Saltwater Grill located in the strand.

Take the Ferry over to Bolivar. Stingrays has awesome food, oysters are fresh and the shrimp are always good. Reasonable prices and cold beer!

x2 on Bolivar. Steve's Landing and Stingrays are great. Are they still there. Most of Bolivar Peninsula was wiped out in the hurricane?

Thanks for all the input guys, we are heading out tomorrow, I'll let yall know what we try and what we thought of it.

Pier 19

Where'd yall end up and how was it?

Curious how it ended up. I agree with the Cajun Greek ... good local place. Also Stingaree's on Bolivar ... great "stingaritas" too, with a great view of East Bay, and a close-up view of tugs and barges traveling the Intracoastal Canal.
