Fish & chips , I know it sounds boring and too traditional, but they were fabulous. Husband had coconut shrimp and loved it. Great balcony area. Good service but very popular - so busy. Be patient!

We had great service and loved our food. I got the crab cake sandwich and my hubby got the tilapia and crab stuffed poblano . Kids enjoyed their meals - large portions . They validate parking too.

Dave Curtis

Hammerhead Hurricane ( in Galveston!)

Good food and views

Shannon Easter

The view was great. That's about the only thing that was great. The food is extremely overpriced for what you get. No care at all was put into preparing this food. Do NOT waste your money!!!!

Jessi Dance

Pretty gd awsm view upstairs.I love the ice cream

Michael Lundberg

Try the Grilled Rare Tuna Nachos

Alex???? Hinn

The wait for our table was "underquoted." The bartender had an attitude, and her mgr was less than helpful; She literally made me chug a drink. The only redeeming quality of F.T. was the food.
