Trolley Depot-Local Island Eatery

First a note: from the street it’s hard to tell that this place isn’t the old place that used to be in this spot. Don’t let that scare you away! The location is at the corner end of a small strip mall.
The burgers here are awesome!!! The burgers were topped with freshly chopped lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. The buns are also really delicious. It does take a bit of time for this kind of freshness, but it’s definitely worth it! They come with crinkle cut fries that I loved and I don’t normally like crinkle cut at all — fried to perfection!
The atmosphere at the moment is pretty basic, but we did get to talking to the owner and like with the food, you can tell he really cares about this business and is working hard on it every day. I can’t wait to come back and visit again!

Returned this weekend for my «Philly Fix» — these guys can do no wrong, in my opinion! Again, consistent fabulousness of this sandwich is a testament to their attention to detail… See y’all again VERY SOON!

Maybe it was just a bad night… but got the shrimp po’boy… SUCKED!!! Frozen, stale shrimp, no seasoning. Thank goodness got the onion rings… only thing that saved the meal. Didn’t have a burger, probably should’ve…those actually looked fresh, cooked to order… stay away from their seafood…

Philly cheese steak was great. My friend had the shrimp basket with fries and they were great as well. Hard to find as there is not a sign on the outside and it is very laid back, folding tables and chairs. Definitely worth the time. I would go back again.

If you’re looking for a fast service or a fancy surroundings this is definitely not your place.
There is literally no decoration anywhere in the restaurant. You see are boxes stored all over the restaurant.
I ordered the fish po boy and my wife had the burger. Both came with fries which were the highlight of the meal.
The bread was very fresh and soft and also one of the better parts of the experience. The fish was ok and the burger was also just ok. Nothing remarkable to cause us to come back to order again.
As we left there were jumbo shrimp going by that actually looked pretty good. Maybe one more try for the shrimp.

Great burgers!!! Paradise burger with all the veggies tasted delicious! The Bacon cheese burger was wonderful and seasoned well. The Philly cheese steak is AWESOME! Fries are seasoned and fried to perfection!!! Brisket is slow cooked and tender. We will definitely be back! Per the owner, crab cakes may soon make a debut on the menu ;-)

The best burgers on the island. If you’re looking for a well priced quality burger this is the place to go! I got the bacon cheese burger and it was stacked with crispy bacon. Absolutely delicious!

Best burgers in Galveston! Quality ingredients and cooked perfectly. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly. This will be one of the restaurants I go to every time I come to Galveston!
