Nick's Kitchen And Beach - Galveston

There was a ton of staff, but the service was so. The food was average, the Calamari over boiled and gummy. There are much better SPOTs on the sea wall for seafood. I like it?

The only reason I am giving this place two stars is because of the outside seating and our waiter Alex. Be prepared to wait, and then wait some more. We came for my daughter's birthday. She ordered Top Sirloin and I ordered a Nick's Club Sandwich, and my man ordered a pulled pork sandwich and we ordered a Calamari appetizer. After 5 minutes or so Alex came back and said they were out of steak. So we ordered chicken fried steak as a replacement. Then 10 more minutes came and went and he came back saying they were out of the club sandwich. In retrospect I should have asked which part of the club they were out of. So I ended up not eating a main course, out of frustration. Calamari came and was rubbery , my daughter enjoyed the chicken fried steak. Pulled pork was overcooked, dry and ends were burnt...still sitting whole in a to go box because it was not worth eating. Sat for about 30-40 more minutes waiting on my daughter's birthday dessert...which really made her day so that's why they get the two stars along with Alex that tried his best. We should have gone to Gaido's next door, but did enjoy the view of the ocean. This place is for the bird's.. literally, they seemed to enjoy it.

Stopped in at the Redfish Pool Bar (patio section of the restaurant). Had the shrimp tacos and fried calamari (served with marinara), and a couple Miller Lites. Patio area was nice, plenty of shade, but the pool and hot tub are shared with the hotel. Nice pool with a waterfall, cute fish shaped hot tub that the kids like to use, lots of foam when we were there. One kid helped himself to a garden hose maintenance was using in the pool. Food was ok. The two of us each had 2 domestic beer (4 total), we shared the calamari, both of us had a shrimp taco plate with fries. Total was about $80. Seems like the pool bar is a convenience option for hotel guests. Good view of the beach, very laid back atmosphere. Not a bad option for guests of the hotel.

Worse sunburn of my life, but if I could go back and do it all again I would in a heart beat. The happy hour food menu is fantastic, the drinks are great, the bar tenders are friendly and the pool is amazing. Love the views!!! Have never met anyone there that was anything but friendly and having the time of their lives, including the staff!!

Great location and outdoor setting! Pigeons may be considered both cute and annoying. They did not bother us when we were eating but they did fly and walk around to attract attention. The food tastes great. Staff friendly and helpful.
