    Great View!

    This was a pet friendly business with a great view of the Gulf. Location, location, location! It has a limited menu, but the food is basically bar food.

    Great place and great service

    let me start by saying even when it’s 95° outside they will not only will they take care of you but your four legged friends also my friend and I walked over to order while my boyfriend waited at the table and by the time we got back they had Brought over a bowl of water for our pooches the food was great and the drinks as well the only down fall everything was quite expensive and that’s why I only gave it four bones but all and all it was a great experience they had a live band and plenty of shade

    Great view, good food

    We took our dog to Tipsy Turtle today and sat out on the deck. Staff gave us a water bowl for our dog, which was great. Coconut Shrimp and the Alligator Bites were great.

    Great view

    Simple food, some seafood, and a bar. They have dog dishes that they will fill with water for you. You are surrounded by the bay, which is beautiful.

    Beautiful spot to watch the sunset!

    Super pup friendly with direct access to the beach for a stroll or a good round of long leashed fetch with your pup afterwards! I arrived in Galveston and headed here just as the sun was about to set and sipped a pineapple margarita (that wasn’t on the menu) that the bartender whipped up for me. Had a shrimp po boy and watched the waves crash on shore as the sun’s light dimmed out. Special moment made better by the presence of my lil pup!! 🐕

    Very friendly

    Shaded outdoor venue with cool breeze off the ocean. Great ocean view. Very dog friendly, they provide dog bone shaped water dishes.

    Not worth it!!

    Yes, they’re dog friendly. But is a 2 hour wait for bad food worth it just because my pup can come?? No!!
    There weren’t dog bowls and water available without jumping thru hoops to get it. Go ANY where else!!

    Very dog friendly.

    We had a late lunch here on a Friday after a long morning at the beach. They seemed understaffed with only two women running everything, and the place was crazy busy when we got there. But they still provided great service, and we felt very welcome with the dogs. I was immediately offered a fresh bowl of water for our pups when I placed our food order. And when things slowed down they came over to say hello and offer dog treats. Loved the patio and the view. Will visit here again.

    Overall great experience!

    The patio was super cute with a nice breeze. The staff was so friendly and welcoming towards our dogs. They brought us fresh ice water and there’s even a couple post to tie your dog on.

    Great for dining with our puppy!

    This was the perfect place to have lunch with our puppy! Outdoor deck (with options to be in a shaded area to get out of the sun), great view, and friendly staff. One of the staff members brought our puppy a bowl of water, and our pup happily lounged under the picnic table and watched people and other dogs while we ate. After lunch, we went down to the water and let the puppy splash around. Perfect day!

    wow!! i will return- again and again!

    trying to find a place for dinner where i could bring my pup and i called to see if they were dog friendly and had wheelchair access... mike answered and said 'sure are/ do!' and we headed that way. upon arrival mike came to my table and asked if i had just called and where was my fur baby. she is 3lbs. and i carry her in a pouch. he brought over water for her and was super friendly. when i left, he stepped right in and pushed my mom down the ramp- this after on the phone he said to call if i needed help getting her up the ramp. the food and drinks and atmosphere were all so awesome! i will plan my next beach vacation around staying close to the tipsy turtle!!

    Awesome place

    After a long day of traveling, we stopped here, hoping to get a bite to eat. Although they were 30 minutes from closing, they welcomed us and served us a great meal. They gave our sweet dog a treat and a bowl of water. Definitely a must stop on your trip to Galveston!

    Great Everything

    Some places claim to be dog friendly and they just mean your pet will be tolerated outside. This place they love dogs and immediately asked if my dog needed water, if he wanted any treats, and the other guests were like minded wanting to pet him. People asked before petting him, which I appreciated even though he is a little guy. The bar, kitchen, and restrooms were clean, and the service was speedy & friendly. Great Buffalo tossed chicken and fries made fresh with a spectacular view of the beach and ocean. They also have cornhole and other games available as well. My gf and I will be bringing our little man back this weekend again as well. This is our favorite spot to go in Galveston now after our first visit because the experience was exceptional. Have fun and try it out, you won’t be disappointed!

    Not fast food,...Good food!

    My wife and I (and our Golden Retiever Lucy) enjoyed the on-the-beach setting, some cold brews, a delicious Tipsy Burger as well as their house made onion rings. We have eaten here twice in so many years and have enjoyed the views and food both times. This year we called ahead to make sure they would welcome our 6 mo old traveling companion. They not only welcomed her, Mike brought Lucy a milk bone treat too! The ocean deck, friendly staff and good food makes for a perfect beach lunch or dinner with your favorite fido,...and its worth the wait!

    Awesome location on the beach!

    Had lunch on the patio. Mike brought us water & a cookie for Cobber. The drinks & food were good! Apparently if you rent a beach chair they will serve you all day down on the beach as well! Fabulous afternoon!!
