About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem

All of this and more is what makes Waterman's Restaurant such a special place.

    Food and service was great. If you’ve been out on the water all day then dining on the patio is ideal. For a nice evening dinner/date dining in is highly recommended. The dining area is very nice. Pets are welcomed on the patio and the food was delicious. Will definitely be back.

    Amazing food and service! We loved the local red snapper. We ate outside which was very relaxed and a great welcome dinner for the beach vacation. The inside dining experience was more upscale though casual enough for a nice family dinner. The location was perfect; on the bay close to all the vacation rental houses so you don't have to drive so far back into Galveston. Highly recommend!

    This is a restaurant that could be great, but it has a long way to go. We had a party of 9 and the server struggled to manage the table. Service was slow and stilted. The food was mediocre. It was not a busy evening so we were surprised by the subpar experience. One of the meals came out 15 minutes after everyone else was served. Not once did a manager come by to check on us.

    We went for Mother's Day and we were disappointed by service as well as the selection for the set menu. There was only one vegetarian option on the menu, pancakes. I would have liked to at least see a salad or have had the option to order off the regular menu, which we love. Service was also not as good as usual. We will still come back as we love Waterman's, but we just weren't as impressed as we usually are. On a positive note, my mother was happy with her shrimp dishes and that was the main point-celebrating her!
