Has anybody had the pizza from the place next to Devil and the Deep? I really like Devil and the Deep, but the food is never open next door.

So headed for a long weekend down on the island. Any of these places kid friendly?

We typically just hit up Fisherman's Wharf and grab a seat on the patio but would like to try something different this time around.

Take your kids to Cordray Drug Store on Avenue L for rolled ice cream.

The Cordrays are the couple (Aggies from A&M-Galveston) who have the historic home renovation show. Used to be on HGTV; now it's on Magnolia Network, I believe???

The husband's family ran a drug store in Galveston for many years. The couple brought back the name, renovated an old building, and now sell ice cream there. It's definitely worth a stop with kids, but be prepared to wait awhile.

Went to a new place last week -- Doc Holliday's Roadhouse. It's in the old Tortuga Cantina location on the Seawall near 61st.

The theme is a little different for a beach town, and the restaurant is probably a bit overdone in terms of decor. But the food and service were both good.

We saw lots of kids there, so it's definitely a family place.

Best part: They play the movie "Tombstone" on a loop on televisions at both ends of the restaurant. And they have Tiki Wheat from Galveston Island Brewing on tap.

This thread needs an update.
Headed down there today for a tiki bar, looks like most of these restaurants are still open. Any new suggestions?

Leeland House and Sugar & Rye are good.

Maceo's

Katie's near Fishermans Warf was pretty good

Went to Saltwater Grill. Had a great time. Didn't hurt they were doing a social media food shot and they comped us the oysters rockerfeller. That was a surprise.

Ate there last year and was not impressed with it at all.

We normally do Gaidos but want a change as well.

Anything nicer worth going to beyond that?

Went to Gaido's last month. Always loved that place but we were all disappointed. Service was just okay; food was underwhelming.

Thanks! I saw Rudy and Paco when I was looking last night. They looks pretty solid.

Palmetto osteria

Not an eatery per se, but Gulf Coast Seafood burned to the ground last night.

Guess Katie's is the sole supplier for wholesale now?

I wonder if it was arson.

Hearsay on the Strand is a pretty good place for cocktails, bites.
