Eating in Galveston - So many delicious choices

We enjoy living right in the heart of downtown Galveston, and all of the local restaurants offering great atmosphere, good friends, and some of the most delicious eating we have ever experienced.  These are just a sampling of our favorite great eats and treats in Galveston.  There are just too many on our little island to name them all.

Where is your favorite place to eat and relax in Galveston?

Just opened on July 4th, 2014 - Stuttgarden Tavern on the Strand - 2110 The Strand, Galveston.

These guys have done a great job with design and menu.  Relaxing outdoor garden area with a flowing water wall in the background.  Full beer menu, awesome bartenders, and a delicious menu highlighting a Build Your Own Burger, sausages made in house, and waffle cut potato nachos.  Stop by the Stuttgarden.  You won't 

be disappointed.

Cowboy's Cajun Kitchen - 1919 The Strand, Galveston

Another one of our favorites.  Cowboy's Cajun serves up some home-cooking that I would have found in my Cajun Grandma's kitchen.  One of my favorites on their menu is the Roast Beef Po-Boy.  Actually any of their Po-Boys are my favorites.  You might see the owner on his logo'd golf cart making deliveries in The Strand area.

Little Daddy's Gumbo Bar - 2107 Postoffice, Galveston.  

Famous for their gumbo, of course.  A must try on the menu is the Grilled Oysters.  The Gumbo Bar also offers a delicious hamburger on the menu.  Actually, I haven't found anything on this menu that I did not like.

Star Drug Store - 510 23rd Street, Galveston

Weekend Brunch - the Star Drug Store is the place to be.  Live music entertainment, indoor and outdoor service.  Try their Galvestonian Omelet and Old Fashion Soda Fountain with malts, shakes, banana splits and more.

Jack's Pub on Post Office - 2406 Postoffice, Galveston

Jack's Pub is the quintessential neighborhood bar.  You will find Jack, the owner, personally greeting anyone new, and making sure all of his customers are taken care of.

You will find a tempting bar menu with a little something for every taste.  Their pizza pies are large and incredible.  Everything is delicious from the Catfish Plate to the Bar-B-Q sliders.

A neat little Galveston souvenir shop offering a selection of 100s of beers.  Tucked upstairs is a deli with yummy, fresh made sandwiches, house made fudge, and Blue Bell ice cream.

The M&M Restaurant & Bar - 2401 Church, Galveston

Our first summer in Galveston we spent every Tuesday and Wednesday on the M&Ms dog friendly patio.  They have a wonderful daily lunch special with portions so large it is easy to share with a friend.  The owner/chef seems to always come up with something new and delicious.  One of my favorites is the Avocado Pancake appetizer.

My favorite - Keylime Cookie Pie

La King's Confectionery  2323 The Strand, Galveston
