    I’m so glad we tried this place.we had no idea they have been open for 25 years. This is definitely one of our new favs! That Big Ass crabcake with lemon butter is one of the best we ever tasted. Husband got the Grouper grilled with lemon butter , melted in your mouth ! I got the fried shrimp they were huge and sweet . The cocktails were great too. The staff were stellar !!! This place is top notch y’all go try this place !!! We can’t wait to return.

    The food was very good, but the bartender (Sean) was dismissive. We ordered starters at the bar, which made him resentful. We wanted to order an entree as well, but he never once came back to check on us or ask if we would like to order anything else. I would like to add that we were the only customers seated at the bar.

    The best place for not-fried sea food on the island. Not a Landry's industrial garbage.

    Accommodating our party of 11 on a busy Friday night was no small feat, yet everything was handled seamlessly. We were seated with minimal wait thanks to a dedicated space designed for larger groups. The food was beautifully prepared, perfectly portioned, and full of flavor, while the drinks were expertly crafted. Most impressive was the exceptional attention to detail from the hospitality team, who anticipated our needs and ensured every aspect of our evening was flawless. Truly a Galveston gem and highly recommended by this clan of self proclaimed foodies!

    Great food! Awesome chef. Crab cake. Fried Asparagus. Bacon-wrapped shrimp. I especially like the saltwater seafood trio, the penne del sol, and the almond coconut crusted salmon. Oh, and the soups, either chowder or gumbo. Sigh.

    Food was great, service was great. It was a loud restaurant. Some of the best shrimp and grits I have eaten. Italian cream cake a little dry but the coffee was excellent. We will come again.

    The food was good, but nothing to rave about. The atmosphere was loud and seating a bit crowded.

    Tried Saltwater Grill for dinner while in Galveston. I enjoyed their gumbo, and I shared their blackened redfish entree with my wife. The food was fresh and tasted great. Our waiter was outstanding and ensured our experience was wonderful.

    Shared fresh oysters on the half shell for an appetizer - heaven! Had the fresh sea scallops for the main course. The scallops were cooked PERFECTLY & the vegetables & fingerling potatoes were fresh & tasty. You could not ask for a better meal & service. The wine & and after dinner cappuccinos finished it off. Thank you Saltwater Grill!

    Back again. Just lovely. Snapper is marvelous. Best raw outers Round. Old Review. Definitely a great place to eat. Very convenient to Opera House. The bread they serve is excellent. I am not a catfish lover but their BBQ Catfish and Grits is really good. The lobster tacos are very tasty.

    Saltwater Grill is a fun and local Galveston restaurant. My family is making it a tradition to visit every Christmas Eve because we love the great food and the fish is a nice departure from the normal holiday ham. We had no wait since we made a reservation! We always order the lava cake, and last year the kitchen broke it before it got to our table so they comped it for us and made us another, and this year it came out completely burnt on the bottom and with no “lava.” They comped the cakes since we couldn’t eat them but didn’t offer any replacement dessert despite the fact that we waited 25 minutes for the cakes to come out. Kind of a bummer but definitely didn’t ruin the experience. We still love this restaurant and will probably be back next year, but we might skip out on the lava cakes next time since our track record is so poor. My sister and I shared the Penne pasta w shrimp and my parents got fish. Loved it!

    If you were looking for an upscale dinner experience on Galveston Island I recommend the Saltwater Grill. Each of our dishes was prepared just right and delicious. The fish is definitely a specialty of theirs and that also includes their shrimp and crawfish appetizer. To cap it all off, our waiter, David, was an absolute joy. He not only kept us entertained through the whole meal, but also made sure everything that we needed was taken care of.
