Went there to have a good dinner and was completely disappointed. Everything looked good but tasted like it was heated up in the over, no crunch to anything. Boudin balls were mushy, the soft crab was soggy and so was the fried shrimp. Will not go back nor recommend. Explains why it was so empty during our visit. Waitress was nice and attentive.

We drove more than an hour after hearing good things about this place, and it was extremely disappointing.
Ordered a dozen baked oysters for $30 and they were spoiled. The shells were large, but the oysters inside were tiny—about the size of my thumb nail—and tasted sour, clearly not fresh or safe to eat.
The seafood in the gumbo also had the same sour, spoiled taste. When we brought this to the server’s attention, she took the oysters back and said they threw it away, but didn’t take the gumbo. The only solution offered was a dessert to go, which is not acceptable when the issue is food safety. We paid and left without finishing the food.
Very disappointed and do not recommend this restaurant.

It’s been awhile since we’ve been here, we were the first customers for the day at 11am.
The food is tasty and homemade. I remembered the onion rings being a little tastier but overall still a good meal.
The service was acceptable but I had to keep asking for things ie napkins, condiments.
They have happy hour on Sundays but just the oysters, dozen for $20. They also have weekly specials Monday-Friday.

I have been coming here for years and the food is always fresh and yummy! We had a few dozen of the raw oysters, they were perfect, especially because they are running $14 a dozen football special. They were a pretty busy yesterday, but they made sure to take care of our party as usual! Thank you all!! We will be back

This restaurant review will be a little different.
The Black Pearl Oyster Bar is a local favorite known for its fresh Gulf seafood, generous portions, and inviting atmosphere.
Here is where I usually write my review. But – I believe this is truly a case of “A picture is worth a thousand words”
I had a Shrimp Po-Boy with fried okra. My buddy had a CUP of red beans & rice.
Here are those pictures. The meal tasted as good as it looks.

Walked in and there was no vibe… I asked the waitress to turn the music on so there was some background music instead of the buzzing of their overhead lights. Too bright in there too. Quality of the restaurant does not match the quality of their beautiful sign out front. Steak was terrible.

Not our first time here so we were excited to get another great meal. This time it was truly disappointing. We ordered two steaks that were very tough and over cooked. The baked potatoes were several days old and brown on the inside. I ordered the stuffed flounder and what an epic fail. The entire meal took over an hour to arrive and the fish was over cooked and burned. The stuffing was flavorless as well and very dry. On the bright side the raw oysters were decent and the boudin ball’s were great. Thank goodness for their French bread so i had something to eat. When we told the waitress the food wasn’t good she smiled and said sorry. A manager never came by and asked about it so that’s why I’m here, maybe they’ll get the hint. I didn’t want a free meal but I paid for something i couldn’t even eat.

We arrived at The Black Pearl just after 11:00 on a Saturday, wanting to beat the lunch rush. It’s just as colorful and vibrant as we remembered, although the portions are BIGGER than we remembered. A table was served ahead of us, and I would have thought it was food for 6 people if there hadn’t been only two at the table. I mean GIANT portions – shrimp and oysters piles so high in a poorboy that you couldn’t see the bread! We decided to share a ‘cup’ of red beans and rice with sausage and a muffuletta with onion rings, and it was enough food for 4 people. The cup isn’t a cup at all – it’s a bona fide bowl. And the flavor of those red beans and rice is outta this world – the broth is very rich, with a deep, smoky taste. The muffuletta was packed with meat and almost more cheese than we could eat; a single one of the three segments was very filling. The olive salad on the muffuletta is very good, although we would have liked a bit more, so next time, we’ll ask for some on the side. The onion rings were piping hot, sweet and tender on the inside and very crunchy on the outside, just as they should be. The ice-cold locally-brewed draft beer went down well with this meal. We had enough left over for an entire additional meal. I can highly recommend this place and we’ll be back the next time we’re in Galveston. Oh, and the service was friendly, too.

Usually go for seafood when on the island. Came here at about 4pm and wanted a seafood platter but learned that platters are only on the dinner menu, so we came back later for dinner. Got the fried seafood platter with fries and it also came with a dinner salad, which was nice. Seafood breading was right amount of crispiness and seafood tasted great. Boudin balls had a good level of spice too. Friendly staff and good service; casual, pleasant atmosphere, and has a bar.
