Proudly serving Gulf shrimp

A Taste of New Orleans on the Texas Coast

Little Daddy’s Gumbo Bar is a proud member of the Galveston Restaurant Group (GRG), a locally owned and operated collection of restaurants founded by brothers Johnny and Joey Smecca, along with their partner Danny Hart. Since 1997, GRG has been committed to bringing the art of great eating to Galveston, deeply embedding itself within the island's rich culinary tapestry. Our mission extends beyond serving exceptional food; we are dedicated to fostering community connections and celebrating the vibrant spirit of Galveston Island.

At Little Daddy’s, we bring the rich flavors and time-honored techniques of New Orleans cuisine to every dish. Inspired by the legendary kitchens of Louisiana, our menu is a celebration of bold Cajun flavors, fresh Gulf seafood, and the art of steam kettle cooking—a signature technique that infuses every bite with deep, slow-simmered goodness. Whether it’s our award-winning gumbo, shrimp, oysters, or crawfish, we’re dedicated to serving up authentic, from-scratch cooking that captures the true essence of the Big Easy.
