Restaurants near Kempner Park

Gaido is a Galveston institution- and our family eats there every time we are in town. Excellent service, delicious food and the warm ambiance of tradition is always a must. This time we had the raw oysters (in season) which were delicious and my husband appreciated the custom martini menu. We also never forget to order the pecan pie- which is famous for a reason! Great food, great memories and like always, we will be back….

Rudy & Paco’s is our special occasion “go to” Galveston restaurant. Yet this trip exceeded even our usual high expectations. Great food, quality service led by our Server, Jose’, quiet tasteful ambience. We were initially slightly disappointed that Paco was taking a well deserved day off, but the Maitre d’ filled in ably. It was truly a special occasion, my 80th birthday.

After waiting around 15mins for our drinks to arrive and not getting the drink order correct our visit didn’t start well. But an intervention from the manager, Kyle, changed our experience and we really enjoyed the rest of our night. The food was outstanding and the service was eventually excellent. Would definitely go back again.

This was our first time trying this place while we are here on vacation. Our server Joe was outstanding. The best service we have ever had . We ordered the Smoked boudin balls, Seafood Ceviche , and Prime Rib. 10/10 Also , there was a server named Landon there as well that was next to our section. He was awesome as well.

One of the best in the state. Food, service, ambience all excellent. Even though we travelled from Kerrville to Lake Jackson to see friends, we made the additional drive to Galveston with our daughter for the chance to eat at Vargas.
