Governor Abbot has allowed Texas restaurants to reopen this Friday. We hope to see you and want to assure you that the health and well-being of all involved is our priority. With that said, we will be implementing the following protocols in order to keep everyone safe:

Parties will be seated at least 6 feet distance apart from other parties.
We will make a hand sanitizing station available upon entry to the restaurant.
No tables of more than 6 people.
No condiments, silverware, flatware, glassware, or other traditional table top items will be left on an unoccupied table.
Condiments only upon request, and in single use (non-reusable) portions.
Disposable menus (new for each patron)

We understand this is a transition for all of us and we will do our best to make it an enjoyable experience for you. Hope to see you Friday.....

We still will be accommodating carry-out and delivery to those that can not make it in.....Thank you ALL for your support!!!!!

At 11:59 tonight, Galveston will have a shelter-in-place order in effect. Please note this DOES NOT include food establishments. You all have been so kind to us and the rest of the restaurants in Galveston. We ask you all to be safe, enjoy some quiet time, and please think of us and the rest of your Galveston restaurants when you get hungry.

We can now sell our margaritas to-go and for delivery.....that should help when you're quarantined :) Stay safe everyone!!!
