Huli Huli Hut in Galveston
Description
Privilege
Great staff and atmosphere with amazing food! Probably the best choice we could have made while in town. 😍🤤
MoreLoved it, tried blue crab and snow. Not a fan of blue crab, more work than its worth but snow crab was delicious. Still a PNW Dungeness lover for life!
MoreBEST SHRIMP PO-BOY!! Never had one with blackened shrimp until today!! AMAZING!! - also on the best bread Ive ever had a Po-Boy on, apparently they use a local baker. Will definitely be back!!
MoreMy son and I had lunch there on a Sunday. The queso, spicy beef pizza, and Buffalo chicken sandwich were delicious. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. The food came out hot and in a timely manner. Prices are reasonable. I ordered a bloody mary and it was good ...tasted like they made it with zing Zang. The only thing I didnt like is they didnt put anything in the bloody mary not even an olive.
MoreYou can bring your own catch in to be prepared. They give you two sides and a salad per person and only charge $13.99 each. They can fix them however you like. First time my husband and I had them fix fish tacos, some blackened and some battered. They were all delicious. There was an up charge for the tacos but they were worth it.
MoreMy wife and I came at 4:58pm on a Sunday. There were people being served on the outside, as we entered, they said that that section of the restaurant was closed and to go to other entrance. We went to other entrance and it was locked. A server saw us and so did the people eating on the patio. Since we couldnt get any service we decided to leave. We really wanted to try their seafood since they had really good reviews. I wouldnt recommend with this type of customer service.
MoreYikes. Just dont bother with this place. Not sure how I got convinced to try it. The "Mexican candy" margarita lured me in, but pretty sure it had little to no alcohol in it. Im a light weight and feel alcohol easy, and felt nothing with this drink. The food was hugely disappointing as well. With so many options in Galveston, try elsewhere.
MoreMaddy was our server, the place was pretty packed. We sat at the bar since it was all the was open. She was the bartender, she was popping beers left and right making drinks and still provided amazing service to all of us ordering food and drinks. Two regulars said out loud she is awesome glad you two got to sit here at the bar too. The crawfish is amazing and the gumbo is too. There wasn’t a drink on the menu I wouldn’t try! If you go in ask for her and for the drink she came up with, that was good enough to be added to the menu!
MoreVery nice seafood place in downtown Galveston. Shrimp or crayfish or muscles sold by the pound. Also serves burgers and pizzas.
MoreWe had a great time at Huli Huli Hut, food was very tasty and service was great! Will definitely be back when I visit Galveston.
MoreSo, this place is listed as Hawaiin on Google. The name sounds Hawaiin but the menu wasnt. That said this, to me, is more of a Lousiana Cajun cuisine restaurant... first time there this past Sunday and the food was good and flavorful. Im from Louisiana and I approve. 🤭 I loved it and will be back soon. Our waitress was great as well.
MoreThe food was fantastic!We are locals supporting local restaurants!Thanks, for the great service.
More4.75 Stars dinner was great, the food was well prepared and flavored well. They were pretty busy so service was a little spotty. We ate outside which was nice. The fried stuffed shrimp was fantastic. The loaded gumbo was tasty as well as the shrimp pasta. The tacos were good and the beer was cold.
MoreI was happy to find crawfish so late in the year, they were small but tasty.
I ordered the Huli Hell Fries and they were amazing. It’s not just any ole fries and cheese, it has its own unique taste. If I could leave ten stars I would. The perfect place to go and eat with family. The service was also amazing, such friendly people.
MoreLove this place. Everyone here is so chill and always checking on you to make sure you have all you need. Great staff. Great food. Great drinks. Crawfish is amazing. I’ve recommended this place to my friends in Houston and they had nothing but good things to say.
MoreOur boat captain recommended this place to us and we were very happy with it. Brought our fish in from the boat and they were able to cook it up with sides right away. Super kind and accommodating waitress (forgot her name). Very large drinks for great prices too! Busy spot so make sure you come early- we will be back.
MoreListen. The atmosphere is good. The food is serviceable. But this might be some of the worst service I’ve ever had. Not only we’re both of the dishes I ordered wrong in one way or another, but my buddy ordered a drink and it spilled less than a minute after it hit the table because it was shaky. Not only did the manager refuse to remake it, they charged us $10 for the drink that had 1 sip taken from it. Our server was also not very friendly and hovered over my shoulder staring directly at the screen asking me to tip and how the service was. Not sure if I’ll give this place another chance.
MoreThis place was so good. From the appetizers to the main course I was with everything I ate. The food was seasoned to perfection. A definite must go back to
MoreThe blackened shrimp on the poboy had a lot of flavor, but the bread would have been better had it been toasted. The fries were also very hard and tasted like they had been previously made and then mostly warmed up before being served.Service and the drinks were good, but the food definitely has some room for improvement.
MoreFood was fantastic.Drink was awesome.My first time visiting seawall blvd with family and was looking for a place to have nice meal. Staff (Ashleywas very professional. She walk through the menu and never let us feel unwelcome. What a great employee👍
MoreStopped here with a party of 12. Restaurant was full but they sat us in the bar next door. Everybody loved their food and the service was perfect. I had the Huli Fish and Shrimp and would definitely order it again!
MoreReally great service from Conner. Killer coconut drink was too sweet for my taste but the mojito was very clean and good. Fried pickle app was excellent as was the shrimp gumbo. Clean bathroom. Overall a very pleasant experience.
MoreAmazing food and service!!! We had the fried mushrooms, fish and chips, shrimp pasta and the tropical chicken pizza. Angelica was one of the best servers we’ve had.
MoreThis place is a little hidden but the food is great!Came for dinner on a Saturday and we reserved in advance as there were 11 of us. Our waiter was extremely attentive to everyone and our food was out quick. Alcoholic drinks were great.A lot of restaurants boast a view of the gulf but the food is trash. Certainly not the case with this place. I will take great food over a view of the water anytime
MoreBest crawfish. This palces was recommended by someone at a gas whom I asked for a good place to eat. And this place did not disappoint.
MoreThe food was excellent and our server, the pregnant one, was on point and very helpful. We had the boudin balls, the stuffed flounder w/ shrimp, and the Huli salad with chicken. All was delicious, were coming back before we leave town.
MoreWent in on a Monday night with a party of five, and understandably there was a wait because it was at dinner time. We waited about 45 minutes, then they called us to a table that was in the back by the restrooms, and said that they would move us when something better became available, but they never did. One of the chairs at the table should have been thrown away, unacceptable to have broken furniture for people to sit on. My son ordered crawfish, the waitress came by about five minutes after ordering and let us know that he got lucky and got the last pound they had, then she comes back 10 minutes later and says there is no more crawfish. Our waitress was great, nonetheless, she was the best thing about the restaurant. The food was decent, but definitely not worth the wait. The womens restroom had no AC and was dirty. I feel as though this place is accepted by the locals, but they need to step their game up. Photo of broken chair attached.
MoreStopped by before heading back to Dallas with my family and I must say I’m happy I did. The crawfish and drinks ( shark bitewere great and the service was phenomenal. I will definitely be back whenever I come back into town.
MoreIt has been a long time since my husband and I have eaten food this delicious. Our Waitress was so sweet and new everything by heart. This was our first visit with Many many more to follow!
MoreThe food was delicious and diverse. The drinks were creative and delicious. Our waitress was kind, informative, and made sure we got our moneys worth. Worth at least 2 stops on your trip to Galveston
MoreHands down the best service and best management I’ve experienced on the island. I was treated like their best customer on my first visit. Food was excellent and the drinks were delicious. I highly recommend trying them out with your family or as a single at the bar!
MoreThis is the second time we’ve been that we have had stellar service and amazing food. We subbed shrimp on the tropical pizza and ordered boudin balls which are some of the best on the island!
MoreWe got 7lbs Sunday and a lot of them were bad and/or mushy. We had to throw out at least 1-2lbs. The ones that were edible were so good. We come here a lot and that’s the first time that happened. Other thank that they were spicy and good!
MoreFresh, delicious crab with the sweetest server Gisselle. They gave us more crab than ordered to make up for the size. But we truly enjoyed everything. We will be returning customers!
MoreI am from chicago I came to spend time with my daughter and family! I have to stay this place is amazing! The appetizers were big plates we ordered fried pickles yummy nice and crunchy! We ordered crawfish and Cajun boil with crab legs, sausage, corn, potatoes. Nice & spicy and delicious!! Yummy so much food we definitely took a-lot home.
MoreBest blue crab and crawfish! Gulf balls and red fish & shrimp were good.
Nice outdoor and indoor seating and staff. Had crawfish (mildwith potatoes and corn that were delicious. Parking on the street wasnt too hard to find.
MoreHad crawfish, shrimp tacos, mussels/shrimp and Texas Red fish!! Everyone’s meal was delicious! Will definitely be back!!
MoreBest crawfish in both size and flavor that Ive had this season! HUGE boudain sausage, delicious sides of sausage, mushrooms and onion. Great atmosphere! That being said, service was not great and decided the 3 stars. Not even the delicious food could save that. It took 20 mins after sitting down for our server to get 2 beers...he was off on his phone. We watched 2 tables get up and leave after having sat down for 20+ minutes of waiting for any service. Well be back for the food, hoping for better service.
MoreUpdate!!!! Still amazing!!! Back for a family vacation and the food still great!!! Our waitress was super super cool with our special needs son!!!! Will go back next time we are in town.OMGosh my hubby absolutely loved this place!!! Its all he talks about from our spring break trip!!!
MoreThis place is really really good their fish is really fresh but in my opinion I don’t season it enough really with anything but the batter is good if you put salt and lemon on it it’s really good but that’s almost in fish
MoreI love this place, even more, my family and I caught Reds, Whiting, and Pompano fish today we caught cleaned and Huli Huli Hut cooked them!!! A great way to end a beautiful fishing day in Galveston!! Food was so bomb!!! Cheers to 2022!! The food platter is all the gorgeous fish we caught today!!Thank You Huli Huli Hut for making such a fun experience even greater with the great service from your awesome staff member Connor!!! He is an exceptionally nice and attentive waiter, thanks, Connor!!!
MoreThey cook your own fish you get. Its so good the why they cook it for you we got half fried and half blackened. The sides where so good. The stuffed shrimp jalapeno poppers where bomb. We well be coming back soon. Thanks so much for the amazing service.
MoreGreat for lunch, dinner, or a late night snack. Great spot just off the strand for food and drinks. Family had a blast night and enjoyed our food. Shrimp is a must try!
MoreBest seafood Ive had on the island . I highly recommend this restaurant . The restaurant is not huge and Im sure it gets very crowded after 6 because the food and drinks are amazing . We went at 4 pm because we had my two toddlers . I was unsure if it was a kid friendly restaurant , but they loved it and they had a great kids menu . My kids got the chicken and it was real chicken fried up fresh.Our food was phenomenal . Below is a picture of the stuffed flounder . OMG , I hate eating fish and I loved this dish . We went back the next night so I could order it . The second night we ordered takeout and it was so hot and well prepared in the food containers . The other dish pictured is the stuffed shrimp . Wow , those babies were gone quick . They were huge and STUFFED!! Every bite was better than the next. My only complaint is that the waitress had limited knowledge of the menu . I asked for a certain drink on the menu and she said they didnt have it , she suggested another drink . When I asked her what was in it she said she wasnt sure . I waited thinking she was going to ask , but she never did . She also was very distracted . She started to take our drink order and walked away mid order . We just looked at each other confused . However, she did get everything right on the order and she checked on us several times .Put this restaurant on your list to visit . If you live within the area its worth a day trip down .
MoreThey cooked the fish we caught that day. Food , atmosphere drinks and service were great
MoreCute cute spot! Food is super yummy….5 stars for food and atmosphere. The drinks weren’t super spot on but if you like mega sweet, the tiki drinks will be your jam. Staff is friendly and attentive. Very good vibe there. Shout out Huli Hell Fries.
MoreThe shrimp nacho was piled high with grilled shrimp, bean, cheese and mango salsa. It was delicious. The fried fish was moist and well season. The crawfish boil was spicy and fresh. The fried calamari was crispy and tender! Ill definite go back!
MoreGreat Galveston Vibe! Service was friendly but slow after it got busy. Live music on elevated stage and decor puts you in that Galveston mood.We started with their appetizer sampler and it was fried treasure chest - especially the seafood stuffed jalapeno. Crawfish cooked well and great size. But one pound came out with garlic sauce, another pound with spicy seasoning, another never arrived. Make sure they know what you prefer - there are options? If you need things done in a timely manner you may want to just sit at the bar - it was well attended.Overall positive experience and sweet Galveston spot to chow and hang.
