Glad we stopped in for a quick and easy dinner on our last night! Portions were huge, plenty of adequate seating inside and outside, music was a reasonable level and it seemed pretty clean. Onion rings were so good and food came out fast! We’ll be back!
This burger place and bar was a nice surprise. We were hungry and looking for burgers and good drinks. This place had exactly what we needed. With a great selection on the food and bar menu, our decision was easy. The staff were helpful with great customer service. We tried the frozen and on the rocks version of their margaritas and were not disappointed. The burgers were not wimpy in any ways and had great flavor. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. A little stage for live music and video games for entertainment options. Highlights were the burgers, fries and onion rings. Not one complaint from our table and even our picky kid ate everything. Sooo good and a great location.
Is a great place to enjoy. The have karaoke nights on Fridays. Drinks, beers and food are good. Nice environment, recommend.
What a fun place! Came in to get something to eat, and it was great idea! Music with a live show outside, great vibe, happy people, and sunshine will make anyone happy. Ordered a pulled pork sandwich and a California burger with fries, and two cocktails. Great cocktails, and great burgers. Definitely a place to come in at lunch and have a break, or in the evening for a night out.
Great place to walk in off the Strand and get a bite to eat. I included a pic of the manager Donald because he was over the top kind and helpful talking to us about the Merch in their sister restaurant Shark Shack. Burgers and Hotdogs were on point, very tasty and satisfying. We had drinks that were awesome and refreshing! You can play Skeet Ball and games as well as listening to karaoke on certain days. A must stop!
My wife and I just happened upon this restaurant while walking on the strand, and we were pleasantly surprised by how absolutely delicious the burgers were! They were truly some of the best burgers we’ve had, and they were seasoned extremely well (look at the picture). If you’re in Galveston, definitely make this one of your stops!
We stopped here because it was 2 minutes from our cruise port. This spot had live music and a good way to kill some time and get food if you're waiting to board a cruise. It was odd not having a waiter and going to the counter to order the food but the food was pretty good. The place was well kept and looked nice. I would like to check it out at night. Definitely want to see how it gets at night.
Delicious burgers, great drinks good pours and the best shoe string fries. Cute vintage shabby chic decor. Love it this little pub. Owner came by and checked on every table. Great service. We will be back.
