Came here for Happy Hour (M-F 3-7p) but found out it's only at the bar outside. We had our toddler so we opted to sit upstairs on the balcony (great view). Boyfriend was still able to order Happy Hour drinks and bring them upstairs (he enjoyed t

I tried something new on this visit and got a smashed burger. I can see why this is one of their top items, it was pretty tasty. I'm one who loves a seasoned burger but my patties were very salty, flavorful but salty. I added bacon on top of my

I didn't really know what to expect going in, but it actually turned out to be really good! The service was just okay -- I think our server was also the bartender, so she was running around a lot. The food tasted great, but it was a bit cold by
Wow what happened to the burger quality.
Totally downhill. Place use to be fantastic. Burgers were really dry. Cashier could not figure out how to place an order for a plain burger so just she just punched in a regular with everything. Not going back this year. Will try next summer to see
Quick meal after a long drive
Food was good, service was not great. Next door to the hotel so convenient for a quick drink and meal after a long drive. The order and deliver to table method was slow.

I had the shrimp po boy and it was the very best shrimp think i'be ever tasted. They weren't stingy with The shrimp either. The spicy waffle fries were an excellent side. The food came out quick, service was on point and the view of the bea
The food is ok.
Nothing special. Mostly a tourist trap. Good place to watch a game. The s vice is pretty quick especially considering the size of the place. I recommend sitting in the bar area facing the beach great view and has some tvs cam watch a game and t
I went in there to have a drinks and some snacks.
the drink was not made correctly. I shared it with the waitress. She informed me that she watched till the drink was made, and that was not the problem. This place has been so good for so many years. I don't understand how the quality of the cus

I love this place when visiting Galveston! The atmosphere
I love this place when visiting Galveston! The atmosphere is casual and the decor is fun and colorful! The food has been consistently good every visit. The employees are welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend!
It's loud, overcrowded, overpriced and a mediocre burger.
If it wasn't located at a major tourist location, it would never make it.

First and foremost, I greatly appreciate what Dennis and The Spot has provided all of Galveston Island in good times and bad. He (the owner) is a true asset to the island and we are lucky to have him. That being said, the wait staff at The Spot is
We went 9/2/2025.
Its right on the Seawall. You pick your spot to sit. You order at a counter and they give you a coaster and bring the food to you. You don't get a waiter. The prices were fair. Free parking. I needed extra tartar sauce, to go container. Y

My hotel was literally right next-door to the spot and although I was only in Galveston for four days, I went in here twice! The bloody Mary's were on point and well dressed. I tried the jerk shrimp on a bit of rice and also the snapper in the b

Outside tables were infested with roaches ! Good was not that great.. Orders the coconut shrimp and fish and chips. The only thing good was the chips and queso. But we ended up leaving due to the roaches.

Fun place for good burgers and sandwiches
We haven’t been to the Spot in a long time. They had a senior special to thank the locals so we took advantage of it. Food was delicious! I had the crispy fish sandwich and my husband had the smash burger. Both were delicious as were the fries and
Day visit to Galveston
I love coming here! We love the service! We love Leah! She’s awesome! Food and drinks are yummy! If you are in Galveston you definitely need to make a stop and enjoy one of their monthly margaritas!
Lora was amazing.
Lora served our very large family. Awesome experience. She was so very friendly and knowledgeable. All of her suggestions were amazing. We had a great time and would encourage you to request her for your table. Billy was also very helpful and friend
Great Lunch, Great Bartender
While on vacation, we went to The Spot and were treated so well by Giselle. She asked about us and shared information about her life. I can’t wait to see her on Broadway!
Becca and Huge Burgers made it Fun!
Huge hamburgers. Lots of veggie topings , all you want... Like a Salad! Our lady was a big help, very courteous, welcoming and she made everything Fun. Becca was her name. It was a great Spot to eat before heading back to the beach.
Hangout on the weekend
We ate at The Spot with some friends. Overall, the place has a great vibe. It is VERY popular on the island. There were 5 of us that went for dinner - around 8:00 p.m. Everyone in our group said that they enjoyed their meals. All but 1 person at
EXCELLENT customer service from Joshua J. He took care of us and even made sure my puppies had ice water. Joshua made amazing suggestions for dinner and the food was delicious. Most importantly the food arrived hot and the order was correct! Great p
Great food
While the food and atmosphere were great, the bus boys needed to be more mindful of their potty mouths. When I pay to eat, I don't need vulgar mouth talk from the employees . Chicken wings were delicious, and the food service was quick.
Come here or miss out!
This is seriously THE place to be. Such a great atmosphere, great food, great staff, great views…can’t say enough great things! Elyssa is seriously the best, such a great experience with her. She gave the best service, very attentive, and such a
Connect with users posting reservations for The Spot Galveston
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with The Spot Galveston. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Spot Galveston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Spot Galveston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at The Spot Galveston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Spot Galveston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
