pspercy Posted April 14, 2011 #3 Share Posted April 14, 2011 There's Fishermen's Wharf & Willie G's on the dock but there's others along the Seawall, also went to a Yamamoto's (I think) on 61st, that was good too.

Galveston Cruiser Posted April 14, 2011 #5 Share Posted April 14, 2011 We have many great restaurants here from Olympia at Pier 21 (Greek) on harbor to 5 star Rudy & Paco's (South American), Saltwater Grill (seafood) Sky Bar (Japanese), Mosquito Cafe on 14th. These and many more are locally owned. Too many good places to eat here without going to a chain restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonlife64 Posted April 14, 2011 #8 Share Posted April 14, 2011 We are sailing on the VOS this weekend and have an extra night on Saturday. We like to try local establishments for dinner - any ideas? We ate at the Fishermen's Wharf a few weeks back before our cruise. It was a fun place with some seaside atmosphere. It is located right by the cruise piers.
