be there for a week any suggestions are welcomed!

prefer no chain eateries

Benno's is one of my favorite places on Seawall Blvd. A walk up to the counter and order Cajun seafood place. Not fancy but great food. Also on Seawall is Fish Tales restaurant and Millers Seawall Grill has a really good breakfast. Tortuga is a Mexican restaurant with good food and lethal margarita's. There is also a burger place on the right as you are heading west away from the seawall area of Galveston on San Luis Pass Rd called Cafe Michael Burger. Great burgers and food last time I was there.
I have been there 3 or 4 times the last year or so and still trying out different places. Hope this helps.

I had great meal at the Saltwater Grill a month or so ago.

Shrimp and Stuff...off the beaten path...tough to find but well worth it. Get there early!

I also second Cafe Micheal Burger...I don't go to Galveston without eating these two places!

Guido's, it's a little pricey but well worth it to me. When they say fresh fish of the day they mean exactly that. It's right on Seawall Blvd.

thanks guys!!!
keep them coming hope to eat fresh fish (caught) every night
but always need lunch and breakfast heheh

Benno's is my Galveston favorite too - good seafood at a reasonable price. If you drive down the coast to Surfside try the Red Snapper Inn - their crab claw appetizer is fantastic and their fish po-boy is actually made from red snapper, not catfish or tilapia like most "seafood" places.

+1 - go there at least once to check it out and see what you think.

My experience lately with Guido's is that is living off it's reputation from years ago. It seems like the quality has gone down and the prices have gone up over the last few years. I really want to like them, but just have not had a great experience lately.

If you go in at Casey's, it's attached to Guido's, the food is the same and the price is lower. No linen table cloths at Casey's.

Well not in town but across the ferry -- Stingree is realy good and the price's will not break you.

+1

Worth the drive.

Casey's is excellent , next door to Guido's . Exact same food lower prices.

Definitely shrimp and stuff for dinner then cruise on over to La Kings Confectionery for desert ... if you need a guide while your there let me know i got a good one for ya!

drive the 30 mins down the beach to the red snapper inn. guaranteed greatness. the new pier 30 on 288 is a happenin spot (and baitshop).

1 + stingree

paris, going out on the party boat cheaper limited budget this trip
wish we could afford a regular guide this trip. hopefully someday

thanks guys/gals ill be sure to check these places out while we are there

New York Pizzaria! Nothing beats it after a day of chumming from an offshore fishing trip!
