Galley Seafood Restaurant Review

: Casual seafood restaurants are a dime a dozen in south Louisiana, but those offering consistent quality are not. The Galley fills the bill with admirable fried seafood and boiled crabs and shrimp, which are delivered warm to the table. A soft-shell crab po’ boy and a properly swampy seafood gumbo are winners, too. Home-style daily specials can prove rewarding, especially the ones topped with fresh lump crab meat. Homemade bread puddin’ and a brownie à la mode are the top desserts. The wine list deals in big-name standards. Kids have their own menu with items like a seafood “basket.” An alternative to the unremarkable, often-crowded dining room is a covered seating area out front, ideal for the often-messy exercise of shelling hard crabs. PS: The parking lot is a little tight and service might be a bit sluggish, but you won’t mind when you see the bill. Reasonable is an understatement.
