Galvez Seafood

The atmosphere wasn't great. The food was good, but I got some sort of food poison right after eating there.

This place is near where I live. I was so surprised to see that it was a sports bar. It has a relaxed atmosphere on the restaurant side. And I would recommend it any day of the week. I even took my mom after church one Sunday. Everything I have eaten there was really good, and the  service was excellent!

My favorite appetizer is the oysters baked with cheese, bacon, and jalapeño peppers on top of bruschetta bread. Their half  shrimp or oyster po boy is enough for even a heavy eater. The sandwich is served open faced because the seafood is falling off the bread and actually surrounds the sandwich on the plate. In order to close my po boy I had to take more shrimp or oysters off the sandwich. Then I had to mash it down so it could fit in my mouth. The seafood is fried just right too! And I forgot to mention the sweet potato fries which aren't fried hard, but are very sweet and tasty with a little batter crust on them.

There is a bakery connected to the restaurant called magnolia bakery. They share the same owner. I tried a slice of the Italian creme cake. It was devine!

On the road, places begin to blur together into a drab shade of Meh. While visiting family in BR, we needed a quick lunch and ended up at Galvez Seafood.

I couldn't decide on which po'boy and got two halves. One crawfish and the other fried oyster. My companions also ordered the boudan balls as an appetizer. All of our meals came prompt, hot and quite tasty. The po'boys had just the right mix of veg to meat and the buns were perfect for the support role.

Driving past you might think this is a strip mall fish shop. Stepping in, you might think it's more a sports bar with a restaurant. Tasting the food and you will know they got it right. I'm a fan and if I'm ever driving through Galvez again, I'll stop by for a visit.
