The Essence of Galveston's Culinary Scene
Food in Galveston is more than what’s on the plate. It’s the families who run the kitchens, the chefs who put their care into every detail, and the gathering spaces where neighbors and visitors alike feel at home. The 1839’s restaurant series highlights the very best of the island’s dining scene—not just for flavor, but for the heart behind it. These are the places we love, the ones that make Galveston feel like Galveston.
