Nate's West End

We had a late lunch around 3 p.m. on a Saturday at Nate's West End, and it was the perfect spot to relax. The restaurant was quiet, which worked out great for us since we snagged our favorite table by the bar. Our waitress, Nanette, was friendly and attentive, making our experience even better.We ordered the chicken-fried chicken and the chicken-fried steak--both came in huge portions and were absolutely delicious. The food was flavorful and satisfying, just what we were hoping for.If you find yourself in Galveston, I highly recommend checking out Nate's West End. Great food, great service, and a laid-back vibe. Definitely worth a visit!

Absolutely amazing food and amazing service. We were greeted by Stephanie and she made our party feel like family. She made sure our experience was delightful and never missed a beat when making sure our drinks were refilled. Food was so delicious we had to meet the chef, Dante. Dante was very friendly and can tell he has the passion to ensure the food he makes is top quality. This restaurant has that "Mom & Pop" feel and it wasn't really a "divey" atmosphere. Very clean and spacious so you feel comfortable enjoying your meal. Highly recommend starting out with their Shrimp Kisses. Who can resist bacon wrapped shrimp stuffed with mozzarella cheese and jalapeños. Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs as The Works Burger was more than we can handle. Made an attempt to finish it because it tasted great but ended up leaving Nate's with left overs and a happy feeling from our experience. Recommend asking for Stephanie if you ever try Nate's and Dante as well to prepare your meal.

Decent. We stopped for lunch on the way back to Galveston on a Saturday around noon. We were seated promptly and our drink orders were taken and brought quickly. We shared the Chicken Fried Chicken. We chose Mashed Potatoes and a Side Salad as our sides and added a Caesar Salad side as well. The salads were 'okay'. Bagged salad on the side salad. A bit over-dressed on the Caesar. The Chicken Fried Chicken was the stand-out. We enjoyed it. The Mashed Potatoes we're a bit thin but okay. The cream gravy was good. All and all - a decent lunch and we'd stop here again.

Been coming here 15 yrs. I was worried when they had a change of owners awhile back but the food and service still good. Shrimp Poboy has a lot of shrimp and love the steak fries seasoning. Always nice a quiet on a weekday. We love Coopers also!

Awesome!! This is the second time we've eaten there and the first time with our dog, Beaux. They have patio seating and brought my Beaux a bowl of water right away. Our server was Tabitha and she was wonderful. The manager was hands-on too! I ordered the Crab Cake starter and Fried Okra which was perfect. My guy ordered the Double Burger and WOW! He is a healthy eater and that burger was too much and my goodness the flavor! Like the perfect homemade burger if you were really good at it. There was enough to share with Beaux too! If there is ever a contest for the best burger in Galveston, Nate's would win!On our vacation every year we go down to Terramar Beach. We've tried a couple of restaurants down that road and didn't have anything good to say about them, Nates is our stop now.I would absolutely recommend Nates!

We dined here after driving by the location a few times. We were excited to have some seafood. First issue was, when we walked in, it was very warm inside. The AC was broken.. we should have left but we stayed. They were out of a few items that we wanted for dinner--- once again, should have walked out. So we go ahead & order onion rings- Expensive for the crappy, burnt, Small onion rings. Pics included. The fish & chips were pleasantly big & fresh. I wish the experience would have been great so I could want to take my family there again..... but....... We won't be back. PS.... I am getting tired of restaurants NOT updating their menus online. The prices I saw online were NOT the same prices on the menu.

So, the staff was friendly and this seems like a loved local spot. Everything looked good coming out of the kitchen but I ordered to go... I was starving and let go of the lack of any flavor but I was beyond disappointed when I realized my fried catfish isn't cooked thoroughly. Decided to call and ended up going back to the restaurant and they made it right and were open to feedback

On this past Tuesday, a friend of mine talked me into trying this place again. Save yourself the time and money and eat somewhere else. They were out of most food I wanted to order and the shrimp I ordered was not good at all. It was rubbery and definitely not fresh shrimp. Went in bathroom after an employee, name unknown but she had dark brown hair and later my friend told me she was the new manager, and she was vaping in bathroom it smelled like weed and trust me I know what weed smells like. So unless you want frozen shrimp and to get high I wouldn't waste my time.

Today ordered for takeout the fried or grilled seafood platter. The site listed on their Google search is places.singleplatform.com for the menu. Price listed is $25.99. I was charged $36.00 + $1 each for mashed potato's and grilled vegetables for a total of $38.00 - $12 MORE THAN THE POSTED PRICE!!In addition the description lists catfish filet, 4 shrimp, 4 oysters and 2 crab balls. Received catfish filet, 6 shrimp, 0 oysters, 0 crab balls and 1 soft shell crab. Ordered on phone - server did not indicate substitutions were being made.

It's a place to go to if you are hungry and don't need any atmosphere. Sea food is good but sides are just regular, nothing special.
