Going to be in Galveston the week after Christmas and the wife is wanting sea food or should I say Crab Legs, anyone got a good spot to get some? Let me know if you would. Thanks

Gaidos is the traditional tourist spot.

I'll probably piss off some people, I go east to lake Charles to the casinos. On Friday and Saturday nights they have all you can eat crab legs and other sea food. And if its raining you'll have plenty of entertainment.

Galveston is not known for crab legs. Gulf shirmp is king.

You can't go wrong with Gaido's, Fisherman's Wharf, Shrimp and Stuff, Cajun Greek or The Black Pearl.

If you want crab legs wait a few months and visit one of the many crawfish places as they come in season. They cook their crab legs is crawfish water. Mmmm....

Other thing. Are you cruising out of Galveston or just visiting for the weekend? Lots to do their out right now. The Ice Land at Moody Gardens is a must.

it isn't crab legs, but the wife and i enjoy going to the stuttgart biergarten for a craft brew and some 'bangers and mash' (sausage and mashed potatoes with purple cabbage).

we looked at gaido's, but thought it was too expensive. did get pecan pie take out. was not impressed. $20 for 2 pieces of pie and they didn't even put their bourbon sauce on it.

there are 2 joe's crab shacks there. we've eaten at the one on the seawall blvd.

Olympia has awesome greek. seems pricey at first, but 1 order is plenty for 2 people.

we enjoyed the saltwater grill on post office street.

I've heard the sunflower café is pretty good.
