And great service at this location despite one son spilling a couple of water and another son spilling lemonade. The food came out hot and fresh. The seafood was well cooked and had that nice bounce that you’d expect yet softness making it feel like it was freshly prepared seafood. The location has a very large bar, cool decorations, like a swordfish and a brightly colored shark very inviting atmosphere. Parking can get tough at this part of downtown Galveston, but it was worth parking about a half mile away and walking over despite the cold temperatures in January. Would recommend this location and look forward to coming back. It’s in a pretty enjoyable part of Galveston so definitely take time to walk around other locations and different shops.
My son and I have loved every dish we have tried! We get the crab cakes each time, and we are making our way through the whole menu. Always friendly service, large portions, and fresh ingredients!
Went to the Shark Shack while on a trip to get on a cruise. Got the Broiled Salmon. Let me tell you, that was AMAZING! Best thing I've ever eaten. The waiter was really nice, too! 100/10!
It's the best service I've ever had. They said there would be a 30-minute wait. Not ideal with 3 hungry little kids, but they came out after about a minute of waiting and let us go to a small table so we could eat some food! Everything we had was delicious, and the service was exceptional.
Shark Shack has a really well thought out selection of entrees. The fish tacos, shark bites, coconut shrimp, and gumbo are really good. The staff are friendly and helpful with the menu selections. They also have some very tasty alcoholic beverages, if you dare!
Located in The Strand. Friendly staff, delicious food! Nice atmosphere with inside and outside seating. We ordered shrimp quesadillas, shrimp platter with spot on sauces, shrimp nachos loaded with shrimp, and chicken alfredo with the best garlic bread.... all off the lunch menu. The portions were large. We will definitely come again!
Excellent food and their lunch prices were a nice surprise. Burgers were cooked to perfection. Good service. Will be back to try their seafood. The only minor negative was the acoustics, the place was maybe 1/3 full but extremely loud.
I ordered the Texas red fish tacos & my husband ordered the Cali burger with sweet potato fries. My red fish tacos was absolutely delicious and the rice and veggies were perfectly cooked & Debra was a sweetheart and suggested the red fish tacos with vegetables & rice. Winner winner perfect fish dinner. You won't be disappointed.
