This restaurant was right on Seawall Blvd with a view to the water. Seafood was excellent. One orders food and then is called to pick it up. Seems a very popular place.

Food was great. I ordered the catfish sandwich combo. It was very large and the fries were very good. Seating downstairs indoors, upstairs, or upstairs outdoors overlooking the beach. Nice place, good prices!

Place is usually busy, but line moves fast. Finding a place to sit can be a hassel, but the food is well worth it. Worth what you pay for it, which can't be said for most food places on seawall.

We spent most of our time on the Seawall drinking at The Rum Shack, which is the upstairs at The Spot. Great wait staff, rum selection, and people watching. This is our go-to place on the Seawall. It opens at noon, and plays Reggae all day. My idea of a great beach bar!

Half pound and build your own, what could be better? The burger was cooked just right and the fixin's make it perfect. Love the fries and onion rings too. They have deserts and ice cream too, but we were too full to try them. Maybe next time.

It's a very chill spot and their food is cheap and pretty good! I think every beach spot should have a place like this! It's a must go to while staying near the beach!

Honestly, we were not impressed. Atmosphere was great. People looked like they were enjoying themselves, younger crowd but not enough to buy these travelers overs. Onions rings tasted frozen as they weren't crispy at all, crab poppers the same since they were not crispy and my husbands hamburger was more than like frozen and cooked to a very well done... More

Our favorite place to eat in Galveston!!! Have always had the burgers but this trip we had the Shrimp Po-boys and they were awesome. Onion rings are a must. You have to set upstairs on the balcony for a great view on the beach!!!

Some friend's and I visited Galveston first of May. We went to The Spot Friday night for dinner and drinks, we sat upstairs where smoking is allowed, I was finishing my second ciger of the night when a guy came over and said cigars were not allowed because people stuff them with marijauna, Well I don't. That somewhat offended me,... More
