Tommy’s shucks approximately 7,000 oysters per week and has recycled 60 tons of shells to date in conjunction with the Galveston Bay Foundation reclaim program. Tommy’s has a full bar with a specialty martini list and an extensive wine list. The restaurant features two banquet rooms that seat up to 50 people, and a large bar area with fresh oysters shucked in front of customers.
