Cajun / Creole
I have a fondness for Cajun and Creole cuisines, and Galveston offers exceptional options in this genre. The rich, dark roux in gumbos, the deeply battered fried foods, all the delicious sides, and of course, the crawfishโall make for a mouthwatering experience. Dat sum good stuff, Cher!

๐ค Shrimp N Stuff โ A Galveston classic since 1976, this laid-back seafood shack on Avenue O reels in locals and visitors with crispy fried shrimp, poโboys piled high, and gumbo that tastes like home. With picnic tables, coastal charm, and portions big enough to share, itโs the kind of place folks wish theyโd found on day oneโand make sure to hit again before heading off the island.

๐ Soul 2 Soul โ A heartwarming haven on Broadway Avenue J, this soulful spot dishes out Southern comfort with a side of hospitality. From smothered pork chops and fried ribs to banana pudding and cornbread, every plate is a tribute to tradition. With generous portions, daily specials, and a cozy, down-home vibe, itโs a must for anyone craving authentic soul food in Galveston.
