I liked everything about the restaurant. It's like a house with second floor. HUGE Servings! I got grilled chicken sandwich for 2 servings, but I was hungry so ate it all. Everything was made fresh not frozen.

Great food - everything from the fish tacos, fried shrimp to the kids cheeseburger. Seriously, most restaurants make kids hamburgers so bland with no flavor. I would go back just to eat a hamburger there!! Fun atmosphere and overlooks ocean. What more can you ask for!! Well maybe table service instead of having to walk up 2 flights of stairs... More

We dined at The Spot a month earlier, and it was great so we returned. Our second visit did not disappoint. It can get bustling here so we made a point to go before peak dinner times and were able to nab a great table location. Since you come in and have to order at the counter, I would suggest... More

I've been going to The Spot for well over a decade, and I've had consistently delicious, reasonably-priced meals every time, dozens and dozens of times. Add the location and view of the gulf, and you've got a sure-fire winner. Yeah, I wish they hadn't partied up the atmosphere adjacent to the main dining area...and I don't like that a thousand...

Best shrimp cocktail we have had in a long time. Fresh avocado on top, and large enough to share. Hubby had a burger and I had delicious coconut shrimp.

This place seemed a little touristy, and you serve yourself but the atmosphere was really fun, especially for the kids. We had been on the road all day so it was awesome to sit and watch the waves with a cold piña colada. The burgers were great and the bird thieves were highly entertaining.

My wife wanted to eat outside and after driving by and seeing the place packed, we gave it a try. We just had basic burgers and waffle fries, but they were great. We were able to eat outside overlooking Seawall Blvd. We plan on coming back to sample some dessert items. For what you get, this place is one of... More

The food was just ok. I can see the atmosphere making this the spot. But I won't be back. Service was fast and friendly. Food was Lukewarm and just not all that.

The breading was awesome!! But I don't feel as though the fish or shrimp was absolutely amazing. Don't get me wrong, I liked it and I would eat there again, but it isn't some place I'm dying to go every time. You order your food at the desk and they page you when it done, you serve yourself. Which is... More

And the pina coladas in the coconuts to die for!!! Glad we found this place after our hotel turned out to be a bust at the Hilton Galveston!!! We... More
