About
You'll find a mix of tourists and locals at The Spot, a Galveston restaurant built from three salvaged houses in 1998. The casual, family-friendly spot serves American, breakfast, and seafood dishes, with nearly everything made in house — from hand-dipped onion rings to breaded gulf shrimp. There's a full bar, outdoor seating, and free wifi.
The Spot is part of a larger complex called Island Famous, which includes five concepts including Tiki Bar and RumShack. Happy hour runs daily, and the crowd skews mixed ages. If you're looking for a quieter breakfast, Mosquito Cafe is a nearby alternative.

We had good calamari and Caesar salad, but everyone there was straight.
