"It’s one of the newest restaurants on this list, but Sugar and Rye has already made a big splash in the Galveston community. Here, diners can find indulgent Cajun-influenced dinner entrees and Southern brunch items, such as biscuits and gravy with maque choux — a saucy, Cajun-inspired corn and pepper mix — and a bright brisket skillet breakfast, featuring potatoes, cotija, a sunny-side egg, and Mexican crema. Situated within one of Galveston’s renowned Victorian buildings, the restaurant’s interior decor reflects the same classy, Southern vibe as the food." - Brianna Griff
