Reviews for Fish Tales in Galveston, TX
We loved this place. We had blackened red snapper, a Cesar salad and the seafood platter. Everything was wonderful. Along with... oysters on the half shell, nice and salty and fresh. Cold tap beer and a shot of patron with lime. Great and fast service evenduring the motorcycle rally going on locally. Read more
Staff was very nice and we were seated quickly. They have a good location across from pleasure pier with balcony seating facing... it. Their drinks were good but the margarita on the rocks had a pool of salt at the bottom resulting in the crunchiest drinkI've had. The fried catfish was very well balanced, not too battered or greasy.

Where do I begin with how disappointed my family and I with our first time visit. The one star is for the view only. The family... wanted seafood and 4k reviews brought us to Fish Tales. We went on Friday and there was a hour late. Which was fine with usbecause it was a Friday night and we knew it would be busy. Once we were buzz that our table was ready, we were told to walk upstairs and our server would show us to our table. We walk upstairs and the server told us there is an hour wait, we told him wewere buzz that our table was ready. The server tells us to have a seat any place on the patio. Once we get to the patio anotherserver tells us there is an hour wait. We explain again we were buzz that our table was ready. We were seated and our drinkswere brought out quickly. 20 minutes goes by and our server tells us the kitchen is back up. We didn't get our dinner until 40minutes later. When we finally got our food it was warm. The kids ate because by that time we had waited so long they werestarving. My appetite was totally gone by that time, so I just ate enough to put something on my stomach until breakfast thenext morning. Long story short we waited 1hr to be seated and another 1hr for the food to come out. Talk about a waste of timeand $162 dollars. This was not worth the wait, reviews or the money. Definitely won't be returning when I visit again.p Read more
First time ever eating at this place and I have to say, really great first time! The wait staff was awesome (super friendly),... the food wait time was minimal, and the food overall was great! The seafood that I ordered was cooked all the way through, andthe margaritas were nice too. Will be back for more good food and good times! Read more
Food and service were Fantastic! Thank you Steve for taking care of us. Food was fresh and tasty and drinks were ????. Had the... Stuffed Flounder with mushroom sauce - sauce was creamy and very flavorful, Fried Shrimp - crispy on the outside and moist onthe inside, vegetables seasoned perfectly, and rice pilaf that was seasoned perfectly. I had rice pilaf in many other places andthis is the 1st place that got it right for my taste buds! Only downer were the hush puppies, tasted a bit burned. Overall greatfood and great experience! Oh yes, appetizer was on point Shrimp Kisses - y'all gotta try those!???? Read more

We come here once a year because the food is good and it's a great place to take the kids with the pleasure pier right across... the street. The only thing that kept this from being a horrible experience was the food. The food was excellent! I had the redsnapper with the Ponchartrain topping and it was wonderful. I've had it before and it was just as good as I remember. The kidgrilled cheese was delicious and the chicken nuggets were great. Oh, and the shrimp kisses were awesome! However... The drinkswere wrong, that took 20 minutes to get, there weren't several things we never got that we asked for like water and condiments,napkins- things like that. We received the wrong side for one of the dishes and then we were charged for a substitution anddidn't receive the side. When we finally did receive the side the waiter continually made comments about how we were getting abigger bang for our buck. I can't put into words exactly how or why this is the worst service we received and how it ruined theexperience, but it totally did. I didn't want to tip at all, but I'm not that person and did tip- since I used to be a waiter Iget that everyone has a bad day. And all 3 tables had problems with wrong orders and not getting them corrected. I've visitedmany times and this is the first time I had such a bad experience. Read more
