Marlin Grill
Spend your date night at the romantic Marlin Grill in Baytowne Wharf. The 5-star restaurant is located in the heart of the village. If the weather is nice during your visit, enjoy people-watching from their front terrace or revel in the elegant, white-tableclothed interior. The service is top-notch and the food is excellent. We recommend indulging in their aged-to-perfection steak and a buttery lump crab cake if you’re craving a delicious surf and turf meal.
Cannery Lane Cantina
It’s hard to miss the Key-lime green Cannery Lane Cantina in The Village of Baytowne Wharf. The Jamaican-style hut serves dishes filled with extraordinary flavor. The concept at Cannery Lane is simple—pick your base, your protein, and your toppings for your perfect Caribbean creation. If you’re really hungry, snag an order of their renowned avocado fries. This is the perfect spot to grab a quick lunch on the go.

This brightly decorated pizza shop is an ideal family outing. Split a bottle of red paired with a crispy Tuscan pizza and unwind from your day in the sand. Don’t forget about dessert! Roberto’s has some of the best cannolis around.
Poppy’s Crazy Lobster
Poppy’s Crazy Lobster is one of the Wharf’s most popular restaurants. The Cedar-planked walls are reminiscent of Baytowne Wharf’s old fishing village roots. The string-lit patio overlooks the waterfront and supplies live music.
The food at Poppy’s is unpretentious in the best way. Order a freshly steamed whole lobster or a pot of peel-and-eat shrimp and forget the utensils. Kids and adults alike will adore Poppy’s so be sure to accent your vacation with a trip to this lobster house.
