Reviews
The food was fantastic. Everything was fried perfectly. The service was the star of the show. Boudain Balls, coconut shrimp, and fried catfish are must try. We had the seafood platter and it was so good. The service was elite. The staff was super kinda and friendly. Cannot wait to go back!
I love the original Shrimp N Stuff, so I knew I would be a fan of their downtown location, too. There is ample parking available, and the service was great. Everyone was so friendly. I am a big fan of their grilled fish, and the combo was excellent. I got an extra bag of hush puppies and they were a little too greasy for my liking. The kids' boxes were an extremely generous portion. Family friendly atmosphere. We will be back!
On our last trip to Galveston, we left early enough so we could go straight to shrimp and stuff for lunch. They have two locations - and both have very good food. I liked the newer one better. My husband and I split the seafood platter which consists of hush puppies, shrimp, french fries, fried fish and besitos. I had never heard of besitos, which are "gulf shrimp stuffed with pepper jack cheese, wrapped in bacon and deep fried, served with ranch dressing". They were delicious. There was more than enough for the two of us and we enjoyed all of the food. The only thing I did not like was the tartar sauce. Not sure why, just did not care for the taste of it. They were fairly busy and the service was average. This new location on Avenue O does not have "character" like the old location, but it is new!
We just love this place!! The food is always fresh and delicious. Everything we order we just love! Try the shrimp avocado stack. It is SO GOOD! All servers, Rheavaughn & Yulia are my favorites, are good and all the staff are friendly and helpful. Drink prices are reasonable, which is a plus!! We eat here every time we come to the island now. It's our favorite go to for fresh seafood. Will keep coming back for more!
We ate lunch here 3 out of our 6 days in Galveston. The downtown location is one where you will sit down and the waitstaff will come to you to take your order. The location on Ave. O is a walk up and order, they will give you a beeper for when it's ready. We had the sausage, shrimp & chicken gumbo; po-boy sandwiches (shrimp & crab balls with remoulade sauce); and catfish tacos. Everything was delicious! We ate here 3 out of 6 days in town.
