Our favorite places to eat in Galveston, TX | Vlog |

[@DoDo-yl3io]

This is the life I want when I retire, travel around with my husband, not necessarily fancy or expensive by any means, just driving down the road wherever it takes us, what a beautiful couple ❤️

[@HebaS]

Now that is a great plan!! I’m like you just don’t make plans and see where it takes you. Love it that way and hope to do more in the future if we can. Thank you so much! ❤️ hope y’all are having a wonderful wonderful weekend 🥰

[@cathyc2665]

That Buccees visit wasn't cheap in itself! Welcome from Houston Texas! ❤️✌️

[@Michelle_Scott.]

Yes!!! We got a set of twins that have 7 more yrs to go and if they don’t leave then we are!! 😂

[@robinswaytoday]

Hi Heba, The spicy shrimp sounds wonderful. I've never seen a born on the island seafood platter like this before..Wow Maceo spice shop food looks so yum. Nothing like spicing up a meal. 🥰 xo At Willie G's, you were eating at the birds restaurant..lol

[@HebaS]

When we saw that platter we had to get it and been getting ever since lol. Love to eat seafood like that. And Maceo was a hidden gem. So glad we decided to try it. And now Mr Maceo has us for life now. He really is a genuine man. Those birds know where the food are lol. Thank you Robin! 🥰❤️

[@robinswaytoday]

@@HebaS For sure, they know where the good food is and they can grab a fast bite flying by your table. lol This reminded me of the open restaurants in Hawaii. The littlest birds are walking around snacking on bits of food. 🤣 I love travel vlogs with you and Shawkat. Your are getting so good at filming them. xo

[@DavidJames.82]

I moved to Houston so I could be closer to Galveston

[@HebaS]

Great plan! So nice to go there on a moments notice. Enjoy!

[@simplerecipes1012]

Lol I get bombed by a bird or two everytime I visit Galveston. I think they like long hair. Lol

[@HebaS]

I know. It’s like they know when to release it. Lol.

[@carlhall2563]

Stop filming in bathrooms, that is supposed to be private and personal. Don't be a creep

[@HebaS]

Cool.

[@helentejada7660]

Thank you for beautifully showcasing Galveston. It is one of my favorite places to go, sort of a home away from home, and you perfectly captured it's whimsy and authenticity.

[@HebaS]

Wow! Thank you for your nice comment. We love Galveston and dreaming to go back soon. Next month hopefully. Enjoy it there Helen! And glad it was spared with the recent storm that came through. Have a wonderful week.

[@jayson1547]

Thank you very much I own the Darlene shrimp shack.

[@HebaS]

Wow!! No thank you!! Love your food! We do hope you get more business. Hope to eat there again soon! Happy new year! 🎉❤️

[@virginiabrayton7362]

OK Heba and Shawkat how the heck do you guys stay so thin?? lol. The food has me drooling 🤤 all over my phone. Those shrimp!! The white sand beach! What a vacation! I love how Shawkat describes the food. He sounds like the chefs on the food channels. He makes it sound all so decadent..🐙🦂😋 I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed your video. It was like Calgon....it took me away. 😉☺❤

[@HebaS]

Lol I am not thin lol. But thank you for saying that. We do like to eat 😊 and when it’s fresh seafood yes please. So glad you enjoyed this video. It was fun to make but a week to edit lol. Thank you dear friend. Love you! Have a wonderful week! 🥰❤️

[@sherryjohnson6355]

I can’t wait to visit Galveston! Y’all are so adorable and fun. ❤️ Love you!

[@HebaS]

Hey Sherry!! Come on let’s go. We were super to go on a trip somewhere. Miss you dear friend! Love you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@makotonarukami7468]

It's so strange, I've been on this Island for decades, and never bothered to eat at most of the restaurants here. For example, I want to explore Tokyo, and try ramen everyday there, but just now I've heard of this placed called Suki Poke by the sea in galveston, and they seem to serve Japanese ramen, and other Japanese foods, and now I'm thinking of not going to japan....but the food part was only 50% of the reason to go, the other 50% was to simple travel...move about in a world and culture different from what I'm used to, and see how k navigate through it. I'm too comfortable here in Galveston...in the U.S., and want a challenge if you will.

[@HebaS]

I need to try that ramen place. We just came back from Europe and it was wonderful. Travel is good for the soul. To see, smell and taste the different cultures. It really is fun and hope you can do. It’s like a whole other world out there and it’s wonderful. Thank you and have a wonderful week 🥰☺️

[@BlingyBea]

Heba you pass my hometown when your going to Galveston, Texas City. Well I was born in Galveston so I’m officially BOI-(born on the island)…Oh yeah we always stop at the Buckey’s in Seguin when we are heading to Texas City. I always have to pickup some Peppered Beef Jerky to ship to my grandson and a couple of BBQ sandwich’s for the road and their house fried potatoe chips, yum yum. Galveston does have some great seafood restaurants, that’s what I miss the most, the fresh seafood we could buy in Seabrook to cook at home. Didn’t know how good we had it till we moved to the Hill Country. That Cajun Greek I’ve never tried now I’ll have to go when I head that way in November, my daughter is flying in so I can take her to her Neurologist follow up appointment. What Condo would you recommend staying at? You made me crave seafood now.❤️❤️

[@HebaS]

Oh wow. A born on the island girl. I’m sure the Hill country has great food. But love Galveston. And yes you have to try Cajun Greek. And it depends on where to stay. Our condo has a minimum of 6 nights. But the Galvestonian is good. And the hotel galvez I heard is nice. And San Louis is nice too. Love going in the fall and winter. I want to go back lol

[@beautybydez]

Great video Heba! Great to see you and your husband enjoying food, life and travel!

[@HebaS]

Hi Dez!! Yes we love to travel. But haven’t done any international and that’s what we love. I guess we will just hang around here. Lots a food here. ❤️

[@pacluv]

OMG I just loved this video of you and your husband. When I looked at the thumbnail of the video I got a totally different impression of you guys. I thought it was gonna be elegant and upscale restaurants. But when you started off the video from Bucees, I knew that you were my kind of people. You are so down to earth and real, I feel like I could be eating with you at all of your favorite places. My son used to live in Houston, and if I had seen this video while he was there, we would have definitely taken a trip there for a few days. Thanks for sharing your amazing adventures with us, and letting us know some of the best places to eat. tfs

[@reptilemetaljen]

Cajun Greek never disappoints! 🎸🎸 and Sunflower always rocks lol

[@HebaS]

Yes!! Great places to go and always come out happy. Thank you and happy Wednesday ☺️

[@Ahardee]

My husband and I are taking my mom to Galveston next month. This video is awesome! Can't wait to try all these places out. 😍

[@HebaS]

Yay! What a wonderful time y’all will have. Thank you for watching and letting us know. Hope you like these places as much as we do. Darlene’s Shrimp Shack did upgrade their food truck so that’s great. Have fun and enjoy your time together 🥰

[@mistervacation23]

That's was a good tour, but you missed going to Star Drugs. They have an excellent breakfast and lunch.

[@HebaS]

Oh thanks for the recommendation. Haven’t heard of that but will definitely try that soon. Thank you!

[@TexasRose50]

I use to eat at Star Drugstore when I worked at Levy’s. And back then when you walked through the doors it was like walking back in time. They served cokes in the funnel shaped paper cups inside a metal cup holder. Also had paper straws. The only seating was around the preparation area. When I needed sone cough drops, I had to go to the back where the pharmacists were. I asked for my cough drops, and this elderly man got up on a ladder and took them out of a drawer. The whole back wall had drawers, made of metal. The lady time I was in there, was very disappointed. Someone had it filled with junk. It was never the same. I have no idea what it looks like now. It would be interesting to see it. Don’t know if any water affected the place during Ike. Anyway, just thought I’d throw that in. It was an awesome place. Will never forget it.

[@Nat-rb3qu]

try Happy Buddha, next time y’all come down to visit!! 😊

[@HebaS]

Ooo thank you for your recommendation. Looked it up and will definitely try next time we go down. Hopefully next month. Thank you! ❤️. Stay warm

[@TexasRose50]

That is my favorite place to eat! They only place I can get Chicken Kew. And the owner is very nice. Ask for Frank when you go. Just a suggestion.

[@MrEliasdl]

We spent 10 days in Galveston on vacation and ate amazing food to our hearts content all over the island The crazy thing is all the options in this video will be new places for us on the next trip. Great video. This is our kind of travel 👍🏼

[@HebaS]

Yay that’s great you will have new places to try. We are glad to help. And we have been going for decades and still there are new places for us to try. Glad yall had fun! Thank you so much for commenting. Happy travels

[@2equine1dog92]

I also grew up going to Galveston. You are making me miss it! Thanks for the new restaurant suggestions.

[@HebaS]

Love Galveston. It may not have blue water but it’s a wonderful beach. And has great food. Hope you can go back. It has changed. Have a wonderful week! ❤️🥰

[@MaryEllenAfter60]

I LOVE to go anywhere with you, and your husband Heba!!! This was so much fun. I was beginning to wonder how many days you were gone, lol. So happy I just finished lunch, or I would be starved. Blessings, and love...MaryEllen

[@HebaS]

Come on!! It would be so fun. We were there for 9 days. So fun. So relaxing. And since we always eat and go to beach and don’t go to the touristy spots we thought this would be fun. Miss traveling especially in a plane. So glad you enjoyed it. Happy Monday MaryEllen. 🥰😍

[@pandemicpat8382]

Now I wish we had made it to Galveston when we lived in Texas. We went to South Padre Island and Dallas. 😊🍕🥞🍤👏👏👏

Love Galveston. The beach there isn’t as ‘blue’ or ‘green’ as Padre. But Galveston has a following. Lol. Maybe one day you will make it back. ❤️🥰

[@boogitybear2283]

Omg Buckeys bbq sandwich looks amazing. When I was traveling the country 20 years I went all over Texas but I’m not sure if I had seen a Buckeys then. You and your hubby are absolutely adorable 🥰

[@HebaS]

Their bbq sandwich is very good. Very tasty. I believe it came about around 2008 and now it’s everywhere in texas and going to other states. Clean bathrooms too. Lol.

[@bourbon-rondezvous]

"Galveston was one of the richest cities in the country"....under the Maceo family (Balinese room, Gambling, alcohol during prohibition). The Maceo family and the Fertita family are intertwined and deep rooted in the history of Galveston. I believe Ronnie Maceo told us that he is the oldest living Maceo...he's super nice and hoot to talk to! Also, you mentioned Willie Gs..have you tried Fisherman's Wharf? Sit outside there as well and you can also sit right next to the Elissa, the 1877 Tall sailing ship!

[@HebaS]

Ronnie is a hoot! Been there several times after the video and we talk. Such a nice man. Very personable. But that is great history. Thanks for letting us know. The name I hear all the is Moody but not Maceo. Didn’t know they were associated with the Balinese room. What a time to live then. Yes we have been there several times to Fisherman’s Wharf and it’s good. But the last time was like 10 years ago. And it’s nice seeing the sailing ship there. Also see the big yacht that the guy who owns most of the restaurants there next to it. Lol.

[@Grynslvr2]

Howdy Bourbon, from a 4th generation BOI (Born On the Island). When historians say Galveston was one of the richest cities in the country and the Strand was the Wall Street of the Southwest, they are talking about the days before the 1900 storm, which pre-dates the Maceo family's businesses here. Galveston was the world's larges cotton port at one time and was Texas's only major port before Houston was even a city. Galveston had, at one time, more millionaires per square mile than any other city in the country because of cotton. The HUGE "Cruise Terminal #1 is an old cotton warehouse that is about 4 city blocks long. It was but one of many. The millionaires of the day were the Moody's, the Sealy's, and the Kempner's, to name a few. Cotton, banking, shipping, and sugar came long before the Balinese, the Hollywood, or the Turf. I met Ronnie Maceo and his father back about 1976 when they had a place called the Turf, across from the Grand Opera House on Postoffice St. My boss, a steamship agent, took me thee and said I had to try a muffelata and drink a beer for lunch one day. I have been eating them ever since. Best with a Shiner Bock in my not so humble opinion. Sadly, Ronnie Maceo passed away a couple of years ago and Galveston is diminished.

[@Grynslvr2]

@@HebaS Sadly Ronnie Maceo passed away in 2022 and with him goes a ton of Island personality. The Moody's were a banking, cotton, and shipping family in the 1800's when Galveston was the world's larges cotton port. The Maceo's came after the 1900 storm and operated several dinner clubs, and gambling establishments. The Balinese Room was still a great restaurant back in the mid 1970's when I first went there for dinner and a play. The Maceo's had also operated the Hollywood and the Turf. The new Turf was where I met Ronnie in about 1976 or so when he was notorious for having to chase the downtown bums and drunks away from the Turf's front door with a broom, to allow customers access. He was one of the people who helped revitalize downtown Galveston. BTW, the family still runs the Spice Company and I had a muffelatta from there (best with a Shiner Boch) last week. Great stuff.

[@bourbon-rondezvous]

Thank you for sharing your favorite places in Galveston! I am planning a return trip in early October and that is how I found your channel. :) You are both fantastic together. I enjoyed your friendly, down-to-Earth approach. I will definitely try many of your suggestions. I want to also say that I have greatly enjoyed your other travel vlogs, too. After this video I checked your channel (because I just knew I would like what you had to share). Imagine my joy and surprise that you did the Italy trip….easily one of my favorite countries to visit. It has been so many years since I have been there and watching your videos transported me back and inspired the aspiration to travel to the Amalfi coastal area (bucket list!). Pompeii has changed since I was there last. There wasn’t as many tourist barriers. And the food….*groan*….there is nothing like true coastal Italian food. You both nailed it in your descriptions: fresh, al dente, etc. And the gelato…..sigh. Yes, nothing like real Italian. (I am getting carried away!) I hope to see more of your trips, even the weekend getaways are wonderful! Thank you for sharing your experiences and thoughts. (Yep, Egypt is on the bucket list, too; but especially the Red Sea resorts like you shared!) Heba, thank you for sharing your story about your family and how you became a KZbinr during you Q&A. My heart goes out to you and I wish you and yours abundant blessings. Now, I really must go….I have more Heba videos to check out! :)

[@HebaS]

Oh Denise you are so so kind! Thank you for your wonderful words. Hope you enjoy your trip to Galveston. And we love Italy. Really want to back but doesn’t look like in the near future. My bucket list is Austria. Maybe someday. For now we will do some weekend trips. Texas has a lot to offer. Lol. Thank you it has been a rough journey but every day is a new day. Sorry it took awhile to reply. I’m in Denver visiting my brother. No vlog for this one lol. Again thank you and hope you are having a wonderful wonderful weekend ❤️❤️❤️

Overall pretty solid suggestions. But to add to that, y'all have to try: - Benno's - Gypsy Joynt - Penney's - Mama Teresa's Flying Pizza _ Mr. Taco - Nollan's food truck park (I'm sure there's a couple I'm forgetting)!

[@HebaS]

Thank you! Actually we’ve tried Benno’s many times and it’s good but haven’t been in a while. And just tried Gypsy Joint last month when we went They moved to a new location off 61sr and had their pizza. It’s so good. And my husband had one of their burgers. Delicious too. The new place doesn’t look very Gypsy though. But haven’t tried the others you suggested. But will definitely try them when we go back in a couple of months. Thank you so much!

[@HebaS]

[@TheMoonlightAdventures]

Great VLOG! We are headed to Galveston for a cruise in May. This was very helpful!

[@HebaS]

So glad this was helpful. Have fun on your cruise. So jealous. Thank you so much! 🥰

[@Sally10268]

I like Greek.. I like Cajun... Damnnnn!!!! Sigh... My mouth did water..

[@HebaS]

It is yummy!! Hope you can try it of you go. Thank you so much!

[@InformalGreeting]

Love the video. We live in Oklahoma City but make it to Galveston several times a year. (We buy the year long parking on the sea wall- when we started doing that we decided it’s official we go too much!) You hit most of our favorite spots. Don’t understand why Gaido’s never makes these kinds of lists though. We went to Galveston 3 weeks ago just because my wife wanted to eat there.

[@HebaS]

Lol yea when you go that much like us that is a better deal lol. I know, Gaidos is good but not my favorite unfortunately. That’s ok. Everyone has their favorites. Last time we’ve tried is was 10 years ago and haven’t been back. But I hear ya wanting to go just to eat. We’ve done that last year. Drove one day to eat at Sunflower Cafe lol. Thank you so much! Enjoy!

[@terryfox5666]

Go down market street to ole Mexican cafe traveling towards UTMB.

[@HebaS]

We have been there as well. Love their chimey. So good. My mouth is watering now. Thank you! 😍

[@johngatsby1473]

We just left Galveston for a little week Vaca before all the tourists hit. I love the place but it's absolutely ridiculous at how expensive they have gotten for food. I mean I understand making money but man.....it's out of control.

[@HebaS]

I can only imagine how expensive it got since last year. Every where prices has gone up. Being on the beach with drinks and snacks is good enough for me now until inflation goes down. Glad you had a good time there.

[@Michelle_Scott.]

You describe the seafood so god it make me want eat it. But I do t eat seafood.😂 Matter of fact the hubby and I are do for a date. We’re from Houston and ALWAYS visit Galveston. Great video!!

[@HebaS]

Hope y’all have a wonderful date night!! I’m sure there are good restaurants that something other than seafood. 🥰. Have fun!

[@galaxi8086]

[@HopeOnTheHorizonPodcast]

We used to live in Galveston - my favorite place!!! Awesome video!!

[@HebaS]

It is a wonderful place! Love it there. Thank you so much Suzanne! Hope you had a wonderful weekend. 🥰

[@mikewatson5281]

Hello love your video, hey we are heading to Galveston this summer but don’t know where to stay or what area , where do you recommend?

[@HebaS]

Thank you so much!! We prefer the east end. And depending on price you can check out the Galvestonian. I believe there is a 2-3 night minimum. Next to that is the Palisade Palms. That has a 6 night minimum. Both at condos. And are directly on the beach. There are nice hotels like the St Luis. I heard they have a nice pool. Hotel Galvez. Hilton. Holiday Inn. And those are in the Seawall. Have to walk across the street to the beach. We are not familiar with the west end of the island but it’s far from town. I hope this helps! If you have anymore questions please don’t hesitate to ask. Have fun!!

[@maryreed2619]

Big Thumbs Up! Omg! Food! Omg! I'm going to be dreaming about it all tonight. You two adorable ones sure know how to vacay. This was so much fun. Thankyou to both of you for sharing this with us. You are the cutest couple! Hugs!🤗🤗

[@HebaS]

Thank you so much!! Welcome

[@terryfox5666]

BOI is born on the island. I remember the seaview cafe manuals marios on 61st. Hills seawall cafe. Boulevard drive in gaidos and the Golden Greek. Star cafe is still there. The strand isn’t the strand I grew up with. My grandpas business was at 1919 strand farmers Marine was next door on one side and the dry dock cafe was on the other. Best pancakes I ever had. Steves cafe across the street on the corner. Best &1.00 lunch ever. Cafeteria style servings.

[@terryfox5666]

Manuel’s was home of crab stuffed flounder. We delivered produce to all the restaurants in Galveston and all the grocery stores. Back before Krogers A&P and the corporate grocery chains ran the private stores out of business.

[@terryfox5666]

Doesn’t know what étouffée is where are they from?

[@HebaS]

Great memories. I don’t remember the strand back then. I do remember the best poi boys in Pier 19. At least when I was a kid. Miss those types of restaurants

[@markbraun3831]

I’m born on island and really enjoyed your video

[@HebaS]

Thank you so much!! Love Galveston. Been going for decades. Since we were little kids. Do you have any other suggestions of places to eat?

[@lindastarr4699]

Great video on Galveston! I really enjoyed it.

[@HebaS]

Thank you Marie!! So glad you enjoyed it! It’s so fun to do. ❤️🥰

[@rampar77]

Guess health foods or low carb are not you.

[@HebaS]
