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.

    We enjoyed outside patio. The Sun shade was lowered which made it very comfortable… no noise problems outside.

    Wonderful meal and wonderful service. Our waiter was outstanding and thought of everything - including great meal options for the two of us - we are both celiac. Can’t thank you enough and can’t wait to go back!

    Our server was one of the best I’ve had. I don’t recall her name but we shared a Mother’s Day funny, she called here Papi and I was Papa.

    This is our 3rd year having Mother's Day at Katie's. The food is always amazing and the portions HUGE. We sit outside overlooking the water and love the atmosphere. I definitely recommend getting the Snapper Wings. They are so moist and delicious. A great touch on Mother's Day is they present each mom with a single rose while being seated.

    Dined here for Mother’s Day, the food was great, I really enjoyed the gumbo. We had reservations, thank goodness, because the wait for walk-ins was almost 2 hours. Can’t wait to return.

    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!!!
