About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Lively
  • Good for groups
In 1998, Buddy Guindon, his wife Katie, and his brother Kenny opened Katie's Seafood Market in Galveston, Texas. For more than 20 years now, Katie's Seafood Market has provided the highest quality of products available to its customers. The majority of seafood comes from local fishermen and shrimpers, including Red Snapper, Grouper, Golden Tile Fish, Flounder, Oysters, Shrimp, and Blue Crabs. A producer contacted Guindon in the hopes of doing a reality show about his family business. In 2015, the reality show 'Big Fish Texas' came to life on National Geographic. As a supporter of the local economy, In September of 2019, Buddy opened Katie’s Seafood House, next to the market. Katie’s seafood market supplies the restaurant with all fresh seafood. We take pride in being the only local seafood restaurant on the island that brings fresh fish straight from the boat and to your table.

    From reserving a table online to checking in, being seated was quick and easy.. the Service was Excellent all due to our Server, Gabriel. The minute he came to our table I knew we had a good one.. he was very talkative, knew the menu, what was good and just was on point.. best server we’ve had in a long time.. Keep up the great work!!!

    Kind of astonishing to discover that Katie’s never, ever fails. Every dish is seasoned perfectly, plated gorgeously, and served by friendly professionals. I keep taking friends there to show them, “Look! This is THE place! It’s always great!” Thank you for being so reliably excellent.

    Excellent food. I did not mind the prices because the food was worth it. Only issues were: 1. Bathrooms need updating, for example hooks in the women's stalls to hang purses would go a long way. 2. Reservation was not honored. We had a reservation with confirmation and yet we still had to wait 20 minutes before we were sat.

    Yet another incredible dining experience at Katie’s! Our server, Joe Ray, was excellent. We loved the ceviche and Mexican shrimp cocktail. Service was prompt and so, so friendly. Give him a raise! He’s such a wonderful ambassador for Katie’s. Stand out food and libations!

    We love Katie’s so much that we try to get there once a week! Everything is good, but our favorites are the Mexican Shrimp Cocktail and the Grilled Jumbo Shrimp. Our server today was Astella. She was outstanding!

    Katie’s Seafood was hands down the best meal of our trip! We loved that it’s family-owned and that all the seafood is fresh from the Gulf. My blue crabs were perfectly boiled, and the salads were spot-on. Even my husband, who isn’t a seafood eater, said his prime rib sandwich was the best he’s ever had! Highly recommend for anyone looking for incredible seafood — and just as incredible non-seafood options too!
