I researched quite a bit to find the best restaurant in Galveston according to locals, and Miller’s Seawall Grill was frequently mentioned. Even with high expectations it did not disappoint!
First off, it’s worth noting that it’s been here for 50 years. They’re doing something right. And the location is perfect: overlooking the ocean near Pleasure Pier.
We loved how broad and interesting the menu was, and that everything we tried was between very good and exceptional. My wife loves seafood but I do not, so I appreciated being able to get her all the seafood she could desire while I got other things I love.
A friend we were with said the ribeye was the best steak he’d ever eaten. The biscuits were incredible: melt in your mouth almost like a savory cotton candy. The waffles were so good I ordered them multiple times. They taste like old fashiones donuts. And for those who like seafood but can’t choose what they want, there’s a very good deal on a king’s platter where you can try so many things and can have your seafood blackened, Cajun style, or fried.
I loved the historic vibe of the place and the intimate feeling of the restaurant. It’s not too big or loud, and it’s designed so that almost all the tables have ocean views.
Great place to eat, and great for giving gift cards. The friends we’ve taken have been so impressed!

We’ve been coming to Miller’s for 15 years, it’s our go to breakfast spot before boarding a cruise. Today’s meal was exceptional as was the service, thanks Edward T. Bonus we had no wait today, but we never mind when we have to wait because it’s worth it. The Jean Lafitte features the best French toast I’ve had anywhere. Hubs recommends the sausage gravy and biscuits. Celebrating 50 years in business this May, do not miss this restaurant when in Galveston. Oh, their dinners are awesome as well.

Grilled Shrimp Galvez appetizer was very flavorful and tasty. The Shrimp & Grits were absolutely phenomenal! My family also enjoyed the Chicken Fried steak an a non-seafood option. Atmosphere was very warm, welcoming and comfortable. Our waitress was very friendly and polite. Loved the hospitality and historic feel of the restaurant!

We had a fantastic dinner at Miller’s Seawall Grill and would highly recommend it!
I had the fried fish and grilled shrimp with country potatoes, and my husband had the steak and fried shrimp with au gratin potatoes. We also shared the boudin balls and gumbo. Every single thing we ordered was amazing and cooked perfectly.
The seafood was fresh, the steak was tender, and the sides were just as good as the main dishes. The boudin balls and gumbo were both standout additions and definitely worth ordering.
Our server was amazing as well — friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better.
Great food and great service — we’ll absolutely be back!

If your looking for a good restaurant, with great food, and great service- dont miss out on Millers. Parking is a little tight, and you may have a short wait.. but its worth it. Breakfast is served all day and you’ll understand why. They have a good breakfast menu for just about anyone. Lunch and dinner starts at 11am and we have not been disappointed yet. From seafood, to tender chicken fried steak, its all good. Don’t miss out on their sides! The green beans and augratin potatoes were simply delicious and hit the spot. Also, side note- if you like chicken fried chicken, just ask and theyll make it for you. It’s not on the menu, but it was truly one of the best I’ve eaten. The wait staff is very attentive and each server overlaps and helps when needed. Make sure you stop by Miller’s anytime you visit Galveston. Oh, did I mention they have a great outdoor balcony with a nice view since they sit right on the seawall.
Great Food and a Great View… what else would you want when searching for a good spot to eat!

This was my first time here and the food and service didn’t disappoint! I would have loved for the shades to be up to enjoy a bit more sunlight however the atmosphere was very cozy. I really wanted to try a restaurant that’s not in Houston and I’m so glad that this was my first breakfast spot. I had the lump crap Benedict and my partner had the shrimp and Gouda grits. I couldn’t resist taking a bite of my food before I took the picture lol. I’m looking forward to exploring more of Galveston!

This is definitely a top tourist spot! Breakfast is good but prices are HIGH!!! $23.00 for a basic breakfast is wild! So as a local we only go maybe twice a year and that’s for the view and French Toast. Grits are DRY and sticky. IHOP is down the street and better priced and has the same breakfast choices.
We may try having dinner here soon but there are too many better options on the island. We will leave room for the vacationers.
