We had an AMAZING time here. Great food, and nice outdoor space. Our server, Carmelo, was AWESOME! He was knowledgeable, made great recommendations, and gave us a lot of attention even though he was VERY busy. We would definitely return! :)

Excellent views, especially at sunset. Food was exquisite. Service was good. The only thing we did not like was the bread pudding but overall it was great.

Carlos was an amazing server! I was there with my 2 boys and myself. We Had a delicious experience. It's super fun for the kids to walk on the boardwalk outside and look at the water! The manager even came by and spoke with us to make sure our meal was good. We will definitely be back!

Celebrated 19yr anniversary here. Atmosphere was romantic and beautiful bay views. The food was outstanding! Delicious steaks/shrimp and Mac & cheese was off the chart. Make sure you check the time it opened at 4pm the day we went.

My family and I have been in Galveston for four days now and have hit up all the popular restaurants and none of them came close to Waterman’s! We wish we had found them sooner. Hands down the most fresh seafood and best service. Victor took care of us and he was excellent. He had extensive knowledge on the menu and food sourcing and just made us feel SO at home!! Off the beaten path and we loved it.

Great place! I gave it four stars on the food because they were out of coconut, shrimp and lobster ravioli Otherwise, this is a wonderful place to eat with your family!

First of all: I definitely recommend the waterfront seating! Yes, it was hot outside, but there were two huge fans to keep us comfortable. The food was FANTASTIC! We ordered the crab cake and mozzarella sticks and both were delicious. The crab cake came with such delicious pesto that I dipped the mozzarella sticks in it. I had the lakeside salad with chicken, and it was refreshing.

Everything was superb! The food is seasoned and cooked to perfection. Our server was very attentive and the sunset view was jaw dropping.
