The place was not busy for lunch. The raw oysters were fresh, the shrimp po boy with the fried okra was amazing. The gator bites were good, some were chewy but overall not bad. The seafood gumbo needed a little more seasoning but it was filling. Our server was very attentive and our needs were met at our table without being asked. It was very filling. Our family of 4 needed to take a walk on strand to digest our meal.

A friend and I went to grab some lunch here after being at the beach for 3 hours. I will have to say it was not disappointing at all. The food and service was amazing. When the food came out the serving sizes were huge. My favorite were the boudin ball and the fried mushrooms. But everything was delicious!!!

Quaint little place downtown. Service was amazing by Maggie. Oyster's were very tasty. Gumbo was good. Will definitely be back next time are in town.

Oscar's service is outstanding. Atmosphere inviting and the food scrumptious. From Boudinin Balls to Oysters and Gumbo, it's always a great southern favorite when we stop in Galveston.

We picked this place for fried oysters and okra, something you can’t get in Salt Lake City. Absolutely the best! The oyster po’boy had at least a dozen delicious, perfectly fried oysters and the …

The food is generally good, it is in a central location, clean bathrooms. The fried dishes are well cooked and crispy, the seafood is fresh, the only thing that could be improved is the gumbo.

The service is good here, the bartender is good. She understands 'filthy' gin martinis. I wish the oysters were better. They are small and the shells were not cleaned properly. They tasted fine but Blsck Pearl needs a better supplier. There has got to be a better source in Galveston. We were overall happy with our visit.

It’s been awhile since we’ve been here, we were the first customers for the day at 11am. The food is tasty and homemade. I remembered the onion rings being a little tastier but overall still a good meal. The service was acceptable but I had to keep asking for things ie napkins, condiments. They have happy hour on Sundays but just the oysters, dozen for $20. They also have weekly specials Monday-Friday.

Our server was great, very attentive, and kept our water cups full and we had no issues with anything. The seafood gumbo had a good amount of shrimp, oysters & sausage in it and the fresh crab meat on top was amazing. But I felt like the actual gumbo lacked some flavor or seasoning or something; it was a little blah in my personalopinion. The red beans and rice was amazing! It had a rich smokey flavor that was so good. We really wanted to try hot Oysters Three Ways but was told they only serve that at dinner (after 5pm), so that was a little disappointing and wish that was mentioned on the menus, as we would have come for dinner instead.

Edit: their online prices do not reflect actual prices. Maybe an oversight, but it needs to be corrected. Ordered raw oysters, fried mushrooms, fries, gator bites, and a cup of red beans and rice. The oysters were good. The mushrooms were big and a big portion. They were good but needed a bit of seasoning. The fries were cooked well and really liked them. The gator bites were very tender and, again, big portion. The red beans and rice were very good. I would have preferred a little kick to them. The place was clean, the service was great and friendly. Jr was very attentive and ready to answer any questions. I would definitely come back.

We came here during our stay on the island. Everywhere was a long wait because it was a holiday weekend. We stumbled upon this place with the least amount of wait. Service was friendly and the food didn't take too long to come out. We decided to order a few items to share. I thought the food was subpar and could have been better. - Seafood gumbo: ordered the bowl versus the cup since it was better for a group. My favorite item out of rhe bunch. Good flavors overall. - Crab cakes: came with 2 crab cakes, good for sharing and it was packed with crab meat. - 4 dozen oysters: the size of the oysters were disappointing, it was smaller than expected. - Cajun shrimp: got the 1lb shrimp. It was served over ice so it was cold but not a big problem. It goes better with a sauce. I didn't feel like it had a lot of flavor. - Fried seafood platter: felt there was too much batter and not enough seasoning. Definitely needed to dip in a sauce for more flavor.

Walked in and there was no vibe... I asked the waitress to turn the music on so there was some background music instead of the buzzing of their overhead lights. Too bright in there too. Quality of the restaurant does not match the quality of their beautiful sign out front. Steak was terrible.

I hate leaving not so great reviews. We came here hoping to get some delicious oysters. We thought they were charbroiled, but they were not! Opened the box to chewy, almost raw, big chunks of chopped spinach, couldn’t even swallow wet oysters. Called and got a refund. Atleast management was understanding.

Food was good once we received it. Pretty sure we were forgotten since we waited almost an hour and everyone around us was served quickly. Too bad. Not sure I'm interested in a second chance.

Not our first time here so we were excited to get another great meal. This time it was truly disappointing. We ordered two steaks that were very tough and over cooked. The baked potatoes were several days old and brown on the inside. I ordered the stuffed flounder and what an epic fail. The entire meal took over an hour to arrive and the fish was over cooked and burned. The stuffing was flavorless as well and very dry. On the bright side the raw oysters were decent and the boudin ball’s were great. Thank goodness for their French bread so i had something to eat. When we told the waitress the food wasn’t good she smiled and said sorry. A manager never came by and asked about it so that’s why I’m here, maybe they’ll get the hint. I didn’t want a free meal but I paid for something i couldn’t even eat.

Oysters on happy hour are 12 for 20$ and not 14$ as I have seen advertised in so many places. They were definitly not fresh and had a stinch on them. We sent it back and werent charged. Service was pretty decent which is the only good thing I have to say about this place.

Walked in and greeted by smiling hostess. No table but seats at bar. Bartender literally threw menus at us. Tried to ask about happy hour, looked at her watch and walked away. So did we. Would not …

We drove more than an hour after hearing good things about this place, and it was extremely disappointing. Ordered a dozen baked oysters for $30 and they were spoiled. The shells were large, but the oysters inside were tiny—about the size of my thumb nail—and tasted sour, clearly not fresh or safe to eat. The seafood in the gumbo also had the same sour, spoiled taste. When we brought this to the server’s attention, she took the oysters back and said they threw it away, but didn't take the gumbo. The only solution offered was a dessert to go, which is not acceptable when the issue is food safety. We paid and left without finishing the food. Very disappointed and do not recommend this restaurant.

Went there to have a good dinner and was completely disappointed. Everything looked good but tasted like it was heated up in the over, no crunch to anything. Boudin balls were mushy, the soft crab was soggy and so was the fried shrimp. Will not go back nor recommend. Explains why it was so empty during our visit. Waitress was nice and attentive.

MC

Their Oysters were Nasty!!! They had a funky taste & were under cooked! They left a nasty fish & metal after taste! Extremely disappointed!!! Went to the restroom & a fork was left in there… why?!? Nasty!!! Never Again!
