I absolutely loved this place! Cute, quaint little spot with a lovely staff. The owner was super friendly and the waitresses were so nice and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was sooo good. I ordered a few entrees to go and each one was delicious! I'll definitely be going back the next time I'm in the area. read more

This is one of the few places on the island that offers vegan options that are more than just a simple salad. Every time I order from Eatcetera, I get the vegan Thai Beef Sandwich which is pretty much like a Banh Mi and each time, it is delicious. In the past, it was a bit too sloppy for me because of the sriracha mayo they put on it but this time I asked for it to be put on the side and it was perfect! This place is a little pricey but I will say the quality of the food makes up for it. read more

Eatcetera - Vegan Thai Beef Samdwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Galveston, Texas

My partner and I needed a last minute get out dodge weekend from Austin, TX. We booked it on Thursday and were in Galveston on Friday night. We drove in kinda late so we woke at noon and needed to eat before hotting the pool and beach. We both ate gluten free so I looked up gluten free restaurants near me and this was the first one that appeared that was not sponsored. The menu looked interesting- not the standard shrimp- shrimp- shrimp so I said let's do it! Wonderful service! Tasty food. Women owed. Saw the frames magazine reader favorite 2023 behind the bar. Our server, Gwen, brought us the tastiest gluten free cracker with a red pepper dip complimentary after she put our order in. Wow were those crackers good! I inquired of the brand and she brought me out a box and I took a picture of them. They did not taste like cardboard. Yay. Our lunch was great. Jasmine blackberry ice tea, and we both ordered the special combo. Choice of bowl of home made soup (Tomato Thai) wow was that flavorful. A nice size garden salad and a 1/2 of sandwich or panini. I ordered the gluten free Angus beef and mushroom with cheese panini and Ben ordered the gluten free Cuban. There is an up charge for the gluten free bread, however, worth it. It too was a tasty bread for gluten free. My emotional support dog, Luca, was welcomed with a smile there as well. Much appreciated because he travels with me. Very clean front of the house and back of the house from what I saw. I was in the restaurant business for years and i appreciate all of there touches. Bravo!! I give this place a 6 star. Thank you for having a place for us with food allergies. We will be back on our next get a way. read more

My salad dressing is something worth dying for, i almost want to drink it. The beef is very tender and juice. I will definitely come back if i ever come to Galveston again. read more

Halloween night we went to the railroad museum in which Eatcetera supplies all the food there in the little restaurant. We went for a tour and hayride and stopped to eat; we had a panini and a all beef hotdog...both delicious! Museum is cool...haven't seen it since I was a kid...lots of history. Circa 1929 I think. read more

Eatcetera - Salmon Lox Bagel - Sandwiches Near Me - Galveston, Texas

We have eaten at this location many time over the last twenty eight years including when it was in the original old building. The last few years the food quality has been on the decline. Enchiladas are always cold, chips are dead, service is bad. El toro is the worst fajitas in Brazoria County. Basically chicken jerky (taste like cardboard) on a skillet with almost no veggies and a tablespoon of guacamole. Last night we tried again as there are no other choices for Tex-Mex near Lake Jackson. The main competitor is worse than El Toro. I had a cheese enchilada dinner, my spouse had only beans and rice. We both got sick last night, we are both still sick. This is the last time we visit this restaurant. read more

Was so glad to find a place in Galveston that has vegan options. They are super knowledgeable and careful with food allergies which is so rare! The food was great and the location is convenient to downtown Galveston. They have games that you can play while waiting for your food. Prices were decent and the portion sizes were good. Highly recommend! :) read more

This place is great! The service is super friendly, and the food was really good. I got a combo with a grilled eggplant panini, cream of poblano soup, and a house salad. My husband got a Thai beef sandwich. We were so happy with it! The restaurant itself is really cute and has free books available to take whenever you want. It passes the vibe check for sure! read more

The service was great and they were able to cater to my food allergy very well. I felt great after a delicious meal! Will definitely be back! We had the tomato basil soup, BLT panini, tofu sandwich with daikon, and then the cookies and the chocolate cake. read more

I nabbed a zucchini sandwich that was delicious! They gave me a choice of chips or salad as my side. I got the salad which had a homemade dijon dressing that made me want more. After passing so many little food spots still closed after being flooded a few days ago, I was excited to find this comfortable hole in the wall sandwich shop; open. Looking forward to going back. read more

I am shocked at how the high the reviews were for Eatcetera. I was excited for a great sandwich. We are quite disappointed with our experience. * Only a few tables were seated, but service was painfully slow. * Ordered 2 paninis and 1 salmon cream cheese bagel which took 45 minutes to make. (Being one who has worked in the service industry, sandwiches should not be taking that long.) * The server could tell we were getting impatient and dropped off a complimentary snack of some sort.. toasted white bread with tomato jam? That's our guess because she literally didnt say anything when she dropped it off. * Server was not pleasant, did not smile once and there was not great communication overall. * The cheese on our PANINIS were cold/unmelted which is an absolute SIN in the panini world. * I had also ordered a cup of coffee. Which was $3 for half a cup and a lipstick stain on the rim. When I asked for a new cup the server didn't say one word not even sorry, and got me a new one. * Coffee was not freshly brewed, it tasted like VERY bitter instant coffee. The food was mediocre for a sandwich shop, but the hostility of the server was the reason why me and my friends are disappointed. Overall 2/5 stars. read more

The owner was so kind and outgoing. We had 4 different sandwiches and all were great. Cozy space with great and unique food.

We've been here twice because it's one of few Galveston joints boasting of vegan options. I know there's a couple of others, but Eatcetera is simple and reliable (well, thus far), so I'm all about it. The sandwiches (some of which seem to be faintly Thai inspired) boast of fresh flavorful ingredients - although the bread versus filling ratio is perhaps not ideal. There's often a very scant amount of filling compared to the immense bread ratio. But there's tofu! And it's not just a bland slab of tofu! Maybe it's unfair, but I had a preconceived notion that tofu might be in extremely rare supply in Galveston. So admittedly, my rating for this place might be lower if it was located in a major city. The orders have always arrived very quickly and staff has always been attentive. The restaurant itself isn't the largest space, but there's always been seating the couple of times we've been here. Will probably be by the next time we're in Galveston! read more

This is in a prime location of Galveston, very close to the Strand. The outdoor seating is nice and the sandwiches were good. The bagels left much to be desired (they tasted just like a pre-packaged bagel from a supermarket), but I give them credit for offering vegan cream cheese. The servers were pleasant too. read more

Tasty food! Vegan options! Nice location! Clean! Service is good! We come here once a month after our monthly surfing day. Always look forward to the vegan lemon cake and chocolate chip cookies! Seriously the BEST lemon cake I've tasted besides my Great Aunt Trudie's- (but hers is nonvegan). We usually get the Thai Beef sandwiches vegan option (sub tofu) it's so good!!! I'll add pics next time I'm there! Again- try the lemon cake! Perfection! read more

This was some of the beat service I have ever had on the island! They also had SO MANY delish vegan and vegetarian options- also tough to find on the island! My waitress was super helpful with knowing exactly what was in each option! This was so tasty and so clean! Having healthy restaurant options is so important and they accomplish it beautifully! read more

Why 4 stars? Because it was tasty, but the service was a bit off. --- --- --- A family trip to Galveston led to me immediately turning to Yelp to learn about the best of the area. Despite growing up in Friendswood, the last time I'd been to Galveston was definitely in the days before Yelp, so I was curious to see what was high on the list down here. It turned out, Eat Cetera definitely had the best reviews of any restaurant around, so it was one of our first stops after we got settled in! We enjoyed our meal, but were expecting a bit more, from the highest rated restaurant in Galveston. First off, there were only a couple other diners in the restaurant, but we would go prolonged periods of time being seeing our server. I ordered a black angus roast beef salad with thai peanut-chili dressing. I planned on ordering a panini, but I thought that the combination of roast beef and peanut dressing was just too interesting to pass up. It ended up being pretty "simple" in its taste, but I enjoyed it. We ordered the creme brulee cheesecake for dessert, because, um... it's creme brulee cheesecake! It was solid! If I find myself in Galveston again, I would definitely make a return visit to try out one of those Panini's. I'm going to guess we caught them on a weird day/time because the high overall rating says that service is not normally an issue here. read more

Ate here for lunch while in town for work. It's quaint and welcoming, plus the food is pretty good. The menu isn't very big, but you're bound to find something in the unique list of options. I ordered the roast beef sandwich that had a blue cheese sauce on it and a side order of the soup of the day, which was red miso ramen. The flavors were fresh and comforting. The bread for my sandwich was a little too much for me to manage as it was thick and crispy. I had a hard time getting a bite with bread and all the sandwich contents. Other than that, I really enjoyed my lunch. We also got some vegan chocolate chip cookies to go. They were soft and chewy! There were several vegan and vegetarian options on the lunch menu and the dessert menu. I'll definitely be back! Ps. I only saw a paid street parking, so plan accordingly! read more

My husband and I enjoyed this adorable restaurant for lunch the week before Christmas. The sun-dried tomato and cream cheese started with bread was AMAZING! I also really loved the lentil soup with bread. The flavor was unique, and highly satisfying! I had a kale salad with a bit too much dressing, but healthy and delicious! We had coffee- decaf and regular- even received our own personal French presses for the table! A wall of music in CD form are available with Latin/African music. Colorful and beautiful! Bathroom- two individual bathrooms available and on a private hallway. Clean and modern. We will be back! read more

Super cute little spot. They brought out some little crustini type bread with a delicious bleu cheese butter spread. Delicious. The tomato soup with sour cream was super yummy and very thick. I ordered the ahi tuna salad. The ahi tuna tasted very fresh & basically melted in my mouth. At first I ordered the prickly pear iced tea and although several of my lunch companions liked it I didn't enjoy it. The regular iced tea was much better in my opinion. I really liked how cute this place was. They seem to have a good attention to detail. Our servers were very friendly and made sure to keep all of our drinks full. read more

Placed my first order here yesterday. We ordered two of the paninis and a salad. This food is GOOD, well...actually excellent. The Greek Salad was incredible.

We love Galveston, and one of the best parts of every visit is Eat Cetera. A small place yet a religious soup and sandwich experience. I subscribed to their face book page to show after our last visit; I can't look anymore. Food envy ensues and the urge to drive 3 hours for Turkish Lentil & Eggplant soup; Pomegranate Coulis & Greek Yogurt. They have black toilets, doesn't that scream upscale? This was our second visit and once again we were in love. Blue cheese cream and toasted bread accompanied my our lunch adult beverages. We both had EC's version of a tartine. Sliced pears, shaved ham, caramelized onions, and cambezola on crisp bread. A delicately dressed mixed greens salad accompanied possibly one of the best flavor combinations since sliced bread was invented. We still skipped out on dessert to visit the juice bar across the street; making the wife think she's eating healthy. Only two repeat visits from our previous trip to retry what we thought was exceptional dining. This visit paid off with five stars. All the chains now advertise a AYCE soup, salad, and a half sandwich lunch for seven bucks. I'd pay twenty for the same and I wouldn't hesitate once. Great food, service, and atmosphere. Ol' Rooster recommended. read more

Nice clean small salad and sandwich place. Seems pretty new and looked like behind the bar (not alcohol) was still waiting to be finished out with some paint. Just seven tables and it's only open for lunch six days a week closed Sunday. I got the salmon Salad. It looks great and tasted even better. It was nice to get a salad that was not too big of a portion and not swimming in dressing. The service was good and the presentation was excellent. The restaurant seems to have WiFi but you need a password and I did not inquire. Overall try this place out it's a little off the beaten path but worth the walk or drive for sure read more

From one Vegan to another...go here if you are in Galveston. They turned a classic building into quite the lunch spot. Everything on the menu (pretty much) can be made full vegan for you. They have w few indoor seating spots and a couple out front overlooking the street. Super cool and super chill. read more

The service was prompt and friendly. They got me in and out quickly (I was eating alone at an off-peak time). The crostini with blue cheese spread was delicious. I wasn't expecting the flavor, but I definitely enjoyed it. I ordered the Greek salad and it was good, but it really wasn't anything special. The buttermilk pie was the best thing I had there. It was just so dang good. Slightly warm and perfectly baked. Yum. I really wanted to like this place, the food just wasn't memorable. I probably won't be back. read more

Wow... I haven't been to EATcetera in at least 8 years but this is a place that I often think about still to this day! When I was in school, I used to go there 2 or 3 times a week to order the Norwegian Smoked Salmon Sandwich with extra Caper Cream, a side salad and a Lavendar soda. It was absolutely delicious...so much so that I still think about it. I am going to take a drive down one day just to have that order again because it was just that good! If you are a Smoked Salmon and a Caper fan then this sandwich is a MUST have. read more
