The food was not the best for us anyway. My son had a shrimp poorboy with was just pop corn shrimp on a crappy bun.. my plate was like eating a cardboard box..
The place itself was nice but I would not come here for food.
Our view was an excavator sitting outside the windows.
Family friends had a red fish that was well done " according to him". In all not worth $200 maybe a solid $80 meal and view.
The service was very good. We had a good staff.
I paid and left...

My daughter and I ate at Fisherman’s Wharf on Saturday and were so delighted with the service. My daughter has several food allergies and the waitress and her manager were very diligent about helping her pick out something that she could tolerate. It took a little longer than normal but worth the wait. They had several conversions with the chef until they were sure she could eat it. The food was delicious and they comped part of the bill because of the delay. We were totally not expecting that as we thought the service was beyond the norm. Thank you Fisherman’s Wharf for your attention!

First time eating at Fisherman’s Wharf; Everything was so fresh and so flavorful. It’s now my #1 favorite place to eat in Galveston. And customer service provided by our waiter Marcus was spectacular! Marcus was so kind and he really knows the menu! You need to be asked to be sat at his table when you go! You won’t regret going with the great food and great service.

My family of 3 went to have a late lunch. The wait wasn’t long. Our server was fantastic but the food was very bland. Daughter and I had the fried fish sandwich in which it was greasy and had absolutely no taste whatsoever. I ate half of my sandwich as I added some salt for some type of flavor and my daughter barely ate hers. She ended up eating my salad with the watered down ranch dressing with barely no taste. Hubby had the fish and chips which he said he liked. And don’t forget about the dinner rolls which aren’t good at all. Don’t know what has happened to you all but please get it together!
