18 Best Restaurants & Bars On Galveston Island

"As far as muffulettas go, Maceo’s Spice & Import Company, an Italian deli just off the Strand in downtown Galveston, might make the best one on the Gulf Coast (but don’t tell New Orleans we said that). The soft, olive oil dressed bread—baked in nearby League City using Maceo’s recipe—dressed in a schmear of sweet and briny olives, with a near Goldilocks ratio of sliced deli meats and cheese, is a thing of beauty. Grab a sandwich for lunch or brunch, along with an armful of groceries and dried pasta." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
