Mario’s Seawall has a great atmosphere and delicious food, but unfortunately, my experience as a celiac girlie wasn’t the best. While they do offer gluten-free options, I ended up getting glutened, which was really disappointing. The flavors were amazing, and I wish I could confidently return, but if you have celiac or a severe gluten intolerance, I’d recommend being extra cautious and double-checking with the staff.

I ordered the shrimp burger and it was fabulous. My sister who is celiac and allergic to fish was with me. She ordered a simple burger patty, but as they make sure the grill was clean. They must’ve done just that because she enjoyed every bite and had no flareups. Really enjoyed this restaurant and we’ll go back to try something new next time.
Took FOREVER. We got the wrong pizza & had to figure out ourselves whose it actually was. The pizza was so burnt & dry. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone. The gluten-free pizza was good but the other pizza took another 50 mins to come out so my family couldn’t eat together. My mom had to go ask about our pizza and then they finally brought it out.
Super cute atmosphere, a few allergies in the party and chef alberto came out to the table to help and made the BEST food-steak was so good and the redfish tacos were out of this world!!!!!!!!! I'm celiac and it was totally safe for gluten free :) also the cheddar grits were fab
Ohhh my shrimp taco haven!!! And they have a gluten free menue for this celiac girl. Thank you sooo much!! Omgoodness was amazing and sooo fresh.. 🤤🤤🤤🤤🥰🌊⛱️
Super friendly, cute hole in the wall place. If you love Greek food, this is the place! Adam was our server, he was extremely accommodating and attentive. He recommended mostly what we got 😅
This place is great for family’s! Calamari and crab cakes were yummy! Lamb chops were delicious, kids loved the pizzas, gyro platter and gyro pita was perfect👌🏼 platter had SO much food on it. The rice was a fav.
The meat lover pizza was perfectly made with gyro, mozzarella, feta, marinara, tomato, red onions 🤤
He talked us into the chocolate cake and OMGGGGGG 🤌🏼💋
Definitely check it out if your into little locally owned places! Gluten free options too!
The food,service and prices were good. Our, server Micah was wonderful. Very caring and accommodating to all our meal needs. I'm Gluten free, my meal came gluten free.
Loved the nice visit we had with Micah.
Truly, he cares about who he serves. Thank you Micah!
Food was delicious! They offer gluten free pasta, buns and pizza crust. I have celiac and they made sure to take the extra precautions so the food was safe for me to eat. Great flavor. Crème brûlée was so so good! Our waitress was very friendly and sweet.
For being celiac they went above and beyond--from the server to the owner. Nathan our server knew the menu so well and directed me with the gluten free options that would be safe. Nathan made our experience amazing. The owner was also so friendly and welcoming. Since it was our wedding night the owner and Nathan made it very special for us and we couldn't have picked a better place to enjoy our evening. Hands down one of the best places I've ever been. I will definitely be coming back here!
Was very good food. Has a Gluten free pasta option and sauce, for me. Lasagna was beautiful for my husband. Atmosphere was wonderful. Service, clean and all great
Easy to book, initial service great. Asked about a gluten free bread option for a patty melt and it all started to fail from that point. Initial order ok, some alcohol, an appetiser for 2, and patty melts (one regular, one with gluten free bread). Patty melts never arrived after an hour and we asked and they re checked our initial order. Blamed the kitchen for being confused, but I think they forgot to put the orders through. They arrived 5 mins later. No swiss cheese, looking overdone. Taken away to sort and arrived later. Other cheese mix was used, non-gluten free patty melt meal had burnt patty and burnt bread and some odd cheese mix that had set like rubber. Complained again but past feeling hungry. Given them their due, we only paid for alcohol in the end. However, it was the worst meal I can recall in many years. Warning: make sure they fully understand what’s required for gluten free as you order. We won’t be visiting again…
I’ve now altered my review (overall star rating) based on a discussion I’ve since had with the Gen Mgr, and I believe it was a one off issue, and he has already used it as the basis for training and I thank him for offering credit and moreso for reaching out to me.
Angel did an incredible job of answering all of my gluten allergy questions. He ensured that I felt safe with my meal and the service was wonderful! We truly enjoyed our experience and will be going back! There is no gluten free menu but most items are already gluten free. The chips are not gluten free but that was fine by me!

Great for beach side casual food and drinks. Staff very attentive and helpful. Made my gluten-free lunch enjoyable and were careful about cross contamination.
Really delicious! Every family member was happy with their choice. The yogurt bowl with fruit and granola was particularly attractive and yummy. Pastry on my ham quiche was flaky and not tough as some can be. I only wish they had a couple gluten-free options, such as muffins, pancakes, etc. We sat on the patio on a comfortable spring morning, and we highly recommend this place.
Incredible service, top-notch fresh seafood & attentive staff. Eric seated our party of NINETEEN without a reservation or any available support runners and gave us the best service we've had on the island this weekend. Knowledgeable of Gluten Free options and was very easy to work with. Worth every penny, and better fish quality than other place for the price.
This is the best lunch spot in Galveston. The fish is fresh and delicious, and the counter is manned by extremely kind and talented folks who love what they do. Their menu is celiac and gluten-free friendly, so just ask what is available that day!! Just be sure to get there promptly at open because they WILL sell out! Highlights include: corn cup, Baja taco, Korean taco, and Empire taco!!
There is a non handicap dark black car that ALWAYS parks in the one handicap spot next to the ramp where you can't even access it. Nobody has done anything about it for months, so assuming it is a worker. Makes it near impossible to get my wheelchair to the Papa John's. It's literally the only complaint I have about this place.
***There gluten free pizza is the best one yet and super safe as long as you click the clean cut option.
Spike is an amazing owner. The tamarind margarita is the best margarita I have ever had.
He was also very accommodating to a gluten free diet. Will definitely be the spot to come when we come to Galveston.
This is a great spot to cool off and have a great meal. Chef Eric is one of Galveston' best! The burgers are excellent, and they gladly accommodate with gluten free options. Pricey? Yup. Spend the money. You only live once.
I liked the atmosphere of being at someone's house, especially with the relaxed way of ordering and sitting yourself, but the food was just okay. There were not very many gluten free options.
Excellent food, service and atmosphere!
We ordered the flautas to start, and birria tacos/quesadilla for mains. Will be a mainstay for all Galveston trips going forward. Plenty of gluten free options as well.
Celiac friendly
