Vibe

The restaurant's location on Pier 22 puts it front and center on Galveston Harbor. Here, shrimp boats and ships pass, creating a relaxed, welcoming ambiance.
Inside, the decor is a tribute to the island's maritime heritage. Rich wood accents, brass details, and nautical artifacts create a warm and inviting space. You'll spot fishing nets, vintage photographs, and maritime charts on the walls.
Large windows flood the dining room with natural light and offer diners unencombered bay views. The combination of classic coastal design and the gentle sounds of the harbor contributes to a casual yet memorable dining experience. It is a place where the charm of old Galveston meets the fresh flavors of the Gulf.

Fisherman's Wharf: Menu & Drinks

The Shrimp Kisses are a local favorite! Shrimp is stuffed with jalapeño jack cheese and wrapped in bacon. Then, they are crispy fried to perfection. If you are not sold on these alone, we recommend ordering the Galveston Trio. This sampler comes with calamari, shrimp kisses, and blackened shrimp queso with chips.

The Crab-Stuffed Tilapia finds just the right balance between tasty and simple. This dish comes with grilled shrimp, lobster cream sauce, and spinach.

Feeling a little indecisive? Try the Shrimp Combo, one of the house specialties. This combo comes with shrimp prepared four ways. In addition, vegetables and rice pilaf come on the side.

• Bacon-Wrapped
• Fried
• Grilled
• Sautéed in Dijon cream sauce

Fisherman's Wharf is famous for its Shrimp Po-Boys. It's said that these made the restaurant very popular at the start of its establishment. This handheld comes dressed with lettuce, tomatoes, and remoulade. Additionally, it comes with fries on the side. If you like shrimp, you'll love this!

Looking for something from land instead of sea? Try the Chicken Elissa. This dish features char-grilled chicken breast as the main star, but it's loaded with toppings! It comes with artichoke hearts, tomatoes, capers, green onions, mushrooms, and new potatoes. Lastly, it's all smothered in a mouth-watering white wine butter sauce.
