This restaurant offers a generous happy hour. Happy hour is 6 days a week, every day excluding Saturday. This discounted menu is valid from 3PM-6PM in the bar and lounge areas only. We say it's generous because there is a great selection of items on this menu. From frozen cocktails to spirits, and small bites. You're sure to find something you'll enjoy on this menu!

As for the main menu, there is a large variety of food. Even if you're not a fan of seafood, there is plenty to choose from. They are particularly famous for their shrimp here!

What's good at Fisherman's Wharf:

Shrimp Kisses

These are a local favorite! Shrimp is stuffed with jalapeño jack cheese and wrapped in bacon. Then, they are crispy fried to perfection. If you are not sold on these alone, we recommend ordering the Galveston Trio. This sampler comes with calamari, shrimp kisses, and blackened shrimp queso with chips.

Crab Stuffed Tilapia

The Crab Stuffed Tilapia finds just the right balance in being tasty, yet simple. This dish comes with grilled shrimp, lobster cream sauce, and spinach.

Shrimp Combo

Feeling a little indecisive? Try the Shrimp Combo, one of the house specialties. This combo comes with shrimp prepared four ways. In addition, vegetables and rice pilaf come on the side.

  • Bacon-Wrapped
  • Fried
  • Grilled
  • Sautéed in Dijon cream sauce

Shrimp Po-Boy

Fisherman's Wharf is famous for their Shrimp Po-Boys. It's said that these made the restaurant very popular at the start of their establishment. This handheld comes dressed with lettuce, tomatoes, and remoulade. Additionally, it comes with a side of fries. If you like shrimp, you'll love this!

Chicken Elissa

Looking for something from land instead of sea? Try the Chicken Elissa. This dish features char-grilled chicken breast as the main star, but it's loaded with toppings! It comes with artichoke hearts, tomatoes, capers, green onions, mushrooms, and new potatoes. Lastly, it's all smothered in a mouth-watering white wine butter sauce.
