About Us
Our Story
Shrimp ’N Stuff has been serving up fresh seafood and friendly island vibes since 1976. What started as a small neighborhood spot quickly became “the place where the locals love to eat,” and over the decades, we’ve welcomed countless visitors who tell us they wish they’d found us on their very first day in Galveston. Many make a point to return again and again, and we’re proud to be part of their island traditions.
Freshness You Can Taste
From day one, our philosophy has been simple: fresh seafood, prepared right. Every shrimp is peeled, deveined, and breaded by hand in our kitchen. Oysters, fish fillets, crab balls, sauces—even our famous shrimp salad—are made in-house daily to guarantee the best flavor and quality. Whether you’re digging into fish tacos, a hearty gumbo, or a classic seafood platter, you’ll taste the difference in every bite.
Multiple Locations, One Tradition
Shrimp ‘N Stuff original location offers a casual, coastal atmosphere with indoor and patio seating, perfect for a relaxed meal after the beach.
Shrimp ‘N Stuff Downtown
Since opening its doors in December 2014 on 23rd Street in the former Phoenix
Bakery spot,
Shrimp ‘N Stuff Downtown
has put its own spin on the beloved
Shrimp ‘N Stuff brand. While you’ll still find fan favorites on the menu, this
location also brings its own unique flavor to Galveston. Besides classic fried
options and Po’ Boys, they serve up broiled Snapper, Flounder, and Salmon and
even offer fresh, creative dishes like the Strand Salad, Phoenix Salad, Crab Cake
Sandwich, and Fish Tacos.
In 2019, Shrimp ‘N Stuff Downtown proudly relocated and now resides at 2506
Avenue H, Galveston, TX, continuing its mission of sharing fresh seafood with
coastal charm across the region. Located just steps from the Strand and a short
walk from the Official Port of Galveston, it’s an ideal spot for both locals and
visitors looking for authentic coastal cuisine. Shrimp ‘N Stuff Downtown doesn’t
just serve up fresh fish from the harbor – it brings back that authentic, old-school
beach town experience. Every weekend, locals and visitors can kick back with a
seafood or non-seafood breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to
noon. With traditional table service, a full bar, and a family-friendly vibe, it’s a
place to relax and enjoy quality seafood just steps away from the Strand. For
Jeff, it’s all about honoring Galveston’s roots, one delicious meal at a time.
