- Sasha GMarch 22, 2013We asked a local about where to go for authentic Galveston seafood. We were not disappointed. Amazing Cajun Seafood platter. Really enjoyed the fried oysters & crab cakes. We will be going back!Upvote3Downvote
Had a bad experience here a couple years back. Their sign about Stone Crab Claws lured me back. I have to admit I had a very nice meal. I have even since my first visit returned for fried oysters.Upvote1Downvote
DanieRaeJuly 6, 2013Their patio is friendly for small dogs that can be lifted over the wall but there isn't a gate I get a big dog on to the patio. That's a bummer since my dog weighs 85lbs. There is always next timeUpvote1Downvote- Lynda MaroneOctober 7, 2012The shrimp and oyster poboy was awesome. But the one dish that was amazing was the bread pudding!! Probably the best bread pudding I have ever had in my life.Upvote3Downvote
- Brandon AllenFebruary 10, 2011I got the cajun seafood platter and my girl got the etoufee. Both were some of best seafood I've had, plus it was fairly cheap. Ate al-t's for lunch and this place blows them out the water.Upvote3Downvote
Sandy WieberJune 30, 2010The oysters in Galveston are generally top notch--but at Benno's, they're even better. Get the cajun oyster platter (or the cajun dinner if you like more variety in your seafood)...they're fat and juiUpvote1Downvote
Modest but FANTASTIC! Add it to your Galveston goto list.Upvote1Downvote

- Karen S.June 19, 2012Tried fried oysters for the first time....GROSS. stick with shrimp and catfish!UpvoteDownvote
You can ask for half tails and half etouffe for crawfish. Not on menu but a good option.Upvote1Downvote
Selena StairNovember 10, 2012Only been there once. The manager was really rude to my mother-in-law when she asked questions about what would fit her 'heart diet..' Haven't been back in the 7 years since.UpvoteDownvote
