Rum Shack

Made a quick detour through Galveston on the way to the airport and came to the Rum Shack at the Spot. Very cool venue, beach views and great food. Kaely was awesome and made great drinks! I had the mahi mahi tacos, and they were sooooo good! My boyfriend had the fried fish, shrimp and chips. It was also delicious. The waffle fries are bomb! Would definitely recommend this place and will be back if we visit Houston again!

The view is great! Service was amazing and they were busy! Food was so good! I had the happy hour cerviche and the hubs had the chicken quesadilla. Both were delicious! Drinks were soooo weak and found out they do half ounce pours even in a regular drink. If I'm paying $11 for a drink it better have a full shot. Just saying lol. But happy hour has beer so stick to that or do a double for a few dollars more.

every time I'm in Galveston, which the last time was last week always go to the rum shack at the spot very good service excellent food and drinks

Started down stairs in the Tiki tequila bar fried calamari and tequila. We ventured up stairs to the third floor rum bar. Friendly staff and drinks. Dana made a delicious rum old fashion and we had to try the Tiki Wheat Beer. Great night to start our vaca in the AM

The atmosphere is great, so enjoy. I will continue to go here and I am so damn glad ya'll survived the pandemic. You all hang in there and I'll be by soon! Take care and God bless!

Found a shard of sharp glass the size of a dime in my fish tacos. Our server spent 10-15 minutes on a slow Monday (07/29) trying to find the manager to remedy the situation. The only reason I am not leaving 1 star review is because the food was good, and our server was really nice and professional. My girlfriend ordered the chicken nachos and I ordered the fish tacos. After taking my first bite I noticed something very hard and sharp in my mouth, only to discover a large shard of glass. I was very lucky to have not cut anything in my mouth or to have not swallowed it. Not sure why there was even any glass in the kitchen. After serving 10 years in restaurants, I know kitchen prep should only have metal or plastic containers for that reason. Pretty careless on prep or kitchen side to have not deep cleaned or tossed any containers that could have been compromised by a glass-breaking accident. That could have been fatal if I swallowed it. I count this as a blessing, and the restaurant should too that nothing worse happened. I think back of the house staff could take this as an opportunity to properly retrain staff and probably not stock any glass in the kitchen and prep areas. To be honest, I would have wanted to go back, but this incident would shake up anyone.

This place is absolutely delicious , they also have great customer service! There's plenty of free parking! It's an ocean view restaurant and bar, there's actually 2 adult bars , and the kid friendly bar with Restaurant. It's pretty neat because once you enter it they see you with kids they guide you to the correct place. Once you enter the restaurant part of it you take a few steps, you look at the menu and make like to order after you order you find a chair and we were able to get an ocean view seat. We went on a Tuesday evening around 6pm and it was packed but not overwhelming. There's plenty of seating and a lot of staff working. They have a huge drink selection they look awesome! They also have delicious shakes for kids and adults my kids had the Nutella and Oreo shakes and you can upgrade to the kids menu for $2.99 more. We also ordered a sampler it literally had wings, onion rings , fried pickles, mozzarella sticks andbacon wrapped fried shrimp ! It was amazing ! Shrimp cocktail was also sooo good. And the sweet and spicy burger was unbelievably delicious ! Literally mouthwatering perfection it had bacon bits and fried jalapeños with cheese ! So good and huge! Overall, clean crowded place. Excellent customer service and fast as well! It does get packed as soon as we were leaving we saw a huge line just to order. Went at the right time. You can call ahead just to ask what the wait time is.

The wait staff and management are excellent, professional and very attentive. The ambience is perfect. However, I may personally not go back because my two favorite menu items are no longer available, the frozen Mojito and the fish and shrimp combo. Also the food and drink portions have become quite smaller. I guess that is happening most places though. Also, from what I recall, most of the tropical drinks used to be served in a jumbo mug. Now they are served in more of a smaller cylinder mug. In any case this review is not to deter anyone from going. The food still tastes decent and the ambience and service are great.

The food was great!! we ate inside then we went to have a drink at the Rum Shack bar. The drinks were amazing and our bartender Mo was so sweet and hilarious! Definitely best service we've had in Galveston while visiting for spring break. We will be returning!!!

Been here many times so I somewhat already knew what to expect. But this time was different. First of all the food was pretty good. Had the blackened snapper, which was good. My only complaint on the food was that the hush puppies didn't have any flavor and was just big spongy ball of cornmeal. Other than that, the rest was delicious. My biggest complaint was the service. First it took forever to get our server to take our order. We came later in the day so the big crowd was pretty much gone. The only REAL service was the bus boy who came around quite a bit just to ask if we were okay or needed him to take anything off the table. The server came around once after taking our order then one other time before I asked for the check. I was more impressed by the bus boy because he had a visible disability and was noticeably busting his ass making sure empty cups, bottles or plates were cleared. I was so impressed that I made sure to give him a 20 dollar tip for wasting no time in taking my plate when I was done. I watched the servers chatting amongst themselves and other customers. JUST AN OBSERVATION. Servers need to do better .. jus sayin
