Great gluten free options for me (gluten free crackers, bagels - so I could even have a sandwich)!!!! good beer for my husband. ;) food and service was awesome. I would highly recommend for a light lunch or good sandwich! read more

I absolutely loved this place. Delicious, fresh food that is made with care and an awesome laid back ambience. We waited a little longer for our food than I would have preferred, but they brought out crostinis and dip to tide us all over. I can handle waiting a little extra for food so long as the waitstaff is friendly and accommodating and the food is delicious once it comes. I was not disappointed on any front and will definitely be coming back on our next trip to Galveston. read more

Absolutely loved this place! I am a vegan and they have great choices!! Couldn't wait to take my hubby so we are on our way now!

A lovely and quaint cafe just off the Strand. Delicious sandwiches and salads with vegan options. Hooray! Ordered the Thai vegan sandwich (the adaptation of their Thai beef sandwich), and it is probably one of the best vegan sandwiches I've had - light enough for lunch, and hearty enough to hold you over. Good service, decent pricing. Will come back again! read more

This is seriously one of my favorite places to eat! The sandwiches are delicious and the salads are amazing. I almost always get the Thai Beef sandwich and it's probably my favorite sandwiches I've ever eaten. The bread is always fresh and the sauce they put on it is delicious. My boyfriend gets the feta and roasted red pepper salad (he usually doesn't like vegetables or salad) and he eats everything on the plate! The Blue cheese spread and crostinis they bring out before your meal are amazing too. Also the service we receive is always phenomenal! I have never been disappointed by anything here and I recommend it to everybody. read more

Eatcetera - Thai beef sandwich and kettle chips, with the sundried tomato spread and crostini in the back - Sandwiches Near Me - Galveston, Texas

Had lunch with my son and friends while visiting Galveston. The decor was very plain but the food was wonderful. I had one of the best paninis ever and the gazpacho was absolutely delicious. At first the waitress seemed less than friendly but warmed up during conversation. I would definitely return there for a meal. read more

Great service. Amazing fresh taste. Healthy menu items. Each item served with beautiful presentation.

Our favorite place to eat in Galveston, enough said. All items are delicious. We have never been disappointed with any item on the menu.

Great lunch place. Nice atmosphere, very clean. Quality ingredients and obviously made mostly in-house -- make sure you have plenty of time for your meal because the cook is actually taking the time to make it well. I've tried several of their specials (daily specials depend partly on what produce is in season, which I respect) and loved every one. This place is kind of small and there isn't a ton of parking, so if you're there at a busy time of day in the tourist season you may just be out of luck. read more

Delicious spot. Ate lunch here had the turkey/chipotle sandwich. Cool small space near the strand. Free 2 hour parking on the street. Everything smells good, has a great presentation and is tasty! Highly recommended. read more

Well the food was yummy! The Thai sandwich was great and the roast beef with blue cheese was too! The service was a bit slow. However the young people working were doing the best they could! You could tell the one making the sandwiches was hustling. The waitress was running around too! The two older ladies just kinda stood around not sure why!?? Overall good food though! read more

Be prepared to spend an hour waiting for the food. We were seated right away and place the order within five minutes. Thirty five minutes later, we ask for our food and were told another fifteen minutes. Considering this is a soup, salad and sandwich place, not worth waiting. The good is nothing special. read more

I stopped here for lunch the other day. The whole restaurant only has a handful of tables and bar, with a modern decor and great atmosphere, but the food speaks for itself. Grilled bread and sundried tomato spread came with our meals and was really tasty. I ordered the bacon, mozzarella, and tomato panini, with baby spinach and habanero aioli, which was delicious. The tomatoes tasted very fresh and the salad alone was fantastic. I tasted the Cambozola and mushroom panini as well, which was incredible. read more

Delicios food. Very friendly owners & staff. Very reasonable prices.

If you're yearning for something light and fresh, Eat Cetera should be explored. Attention to detail, innovation, simple, elegant, clean. The key word to this non-touristy eatery is FRESH. Everything here is carefully crafted, from the sandwiches to the salads and dressings to the desserts. We started with toast points from the kitchen, served with two spreads of either tomato basil or bleu cheese, both yummy with the tomato being the preferred. I had a taster of Thai coconut squash bisque that was yummy. Their artisinal menu beckons to my foody spirit. My $8 panini of fresh thin asparagus with Portobello mushrooms had a delightful Cambozola dressing. A what, you say? This taste treat seems to be trending, a combination of Camembert and Gorgonzola cheeses which made the simple asparagus panini into something special, would make any sandwich sparkle actually. Cambozola, give me a vat to dive into for my tastebuds' delight. I'm in love. You can add ham to this asparagus panini for a couple bucks more. I washed my meal down with refreshing prickly pear tea. Really, where else can you drink prickly pear tea? And next time I'll try the soda of rhubarb, a rare treat in the rhubarb-deprived South. My motto: If it's rhubarb, it's going to be good. My normally conservative father, who doesn't veer far from white bread and beef into adventurous fried chicken, ordered the Thai beef sandwich on brown bread with slivers of radish and carrots slathered with a cilantro-sriracha-cucumber mayo etc. sauce [I think this is where the Eat Cetera comes in] and declared it was really good, leaving not a crumb on his plate. My other dining companion had the sandwich of thinly sliced roast beef piled high on good brown bread, almost tempting to this non-cow eater. The plates come with a choice between a tender arugula salad and store-bought kettle potato chips = no contest! Now if the chips were hand-made... His only disappointment was that his arugula salad did not have French dressing available. Our waiting person told us that all their dressings are homemade, but alas French was not among them that day. It spurred a short discussion of the differences among Red French/Orange French/Russian/Catalina dressings which are oddly not on Southern menus. It was a satisfying meal, not too bulky, but as this repast was just a quick lunch, we skipped the tempting desserts. Aaah, next time. We left feeling spoiled, both from the chef and the attentive wait person. read more

A friend and I were looking for a place to eat in an area we are not familiar with so she looked on yelp. (first time I had ever used or heard of yelp) We actually found a review for a different lunch spot that recommended eat cetera over that place so we came here. SO GLAD we did. Not only was the food great but atmosphere as well. My only complaint is that it's not anywhere close to where I live :( I had the Bacon, spinach, Mozzarella panini. read more

This is one of our regular haunts on the island. Excellent service, great food and a chill atmosphere make this place fantastic!!!

Delish sandwiches. Crusty amazing breads and the flavor combos were inventive and very tasty. Soups very good and pineapple upside down cake very moist. We will be back soon! One of the best places we ate on our trip, and very very low key. read more

Super cute place to eat with a great food selection and nice staff. Uniqueness!!

One of the best places on the island to eat. Nice ambience and the food is always amazing. I love the extra detail they pay to the overall presentation of the meals. It's inexpensive and EVERYTHING on the menu is great! read more

I had to Thai beef sandwich and it was wonderful. I would also recommend the side salad with their house vinaigrette - which is delicious.

The food here is good, and the ambiance is stellar. Eat Cetera is a sleek and inviting little cafe with a French feeling about it. The main draw back here: the service. As others have mentioned, the service is not only slow, but unresponsive. We waited an awful long time before even being acknowledged, even though we were sitting at the bar right in front of a waitress and the restaurant is small. Refills and orders take a lifetime. We ordered the blue cheese and mushroom panini and also the chicken and sundried tomato panini. The food is fresh and flavorful. We enjoyed our time, but come expecting to wait. read more

Me and my girlfriend stopped in to Eat Cetera for lunch today. It was our first visit. We were greeted kindly by our server, who showed us to a two top table. Fast forward... drinks (prickly pear tea - AWESOME).. complimentary crostini with sun-dried tomato spread (AWESOME)... order.. i ordered the thai beef sandwich with a salad.. Jenna ordered one of the special salads that had sweet corn, blueberries, feta, and arugula.. and she added shrimp... while eating the crostini and waiting for our food... I dropped my fork, and, hoping no one saw, wiped it off with my napkin because i didn't want the server to have to get me another one... busted.. she brought me a new fork and grabbed the "dirty" one.. then jenna dropped a hunk of the sun-dried tomato spread on the table.. using the 5-second rule, she quickly grabbed it and put it back in the bowl.. now our food is here.. Jenna drops some of her shrimp on the table and, again, using the 5-second rule, she emergently scooped them up and place them to the side so she could cut them up.. she cuts her salad up and drops her knife on the floor.. one of the other servers quickly grabs the knife off of the floor and jenna apologizes and says not to bother bringing another one, as she has already cut her salad up... now that everyone in the restaurant is aware that we are here.. and clumsy.. we start eating eachothers food... stunning.. whatever, i'm sure that is pretty standard :) anyway, to make a long story slightly less long, the food was the best i have had on the island... best i have had most places, actually.. we will definitely be back.. over and over again.. stay tuned for more food follies.. read more

My friend and I were visiting from Houston, and wanted to eat at Oasis, but were disappointed upon finding out they were remodeling. We saw Eat Cetera across the street - we hadn't ever been, but since we were hungry, decided to just give it a try. I'm vegan, so I pretty much felt resigned to eating something blah since I assumed there probably weren't going to be many vegan options. What a pleasant surprise I got! Not only did they have lots of great vegan/vegetarian options, it was all delicious! I ordered the sweet potato soup to start. It was fragrant and well spiced, and the crispy sage garnish on top really brought out the flavors in the soup. It came with a few pieces of bread, which were perfectly toasted - just crisp enough while still being soft. Next, I had the soba noodle salad with arugula and tofu. Our waitress highly recommended it but I wasn't sure if I'd like it - I'm Asian and I tend to not expect much of Asian style dishes at non-Asian restaurants. Again, I got a lovely surprise - It was SO delicious! My friend loved the sandwich she got as well. It was apparent that all the food was prepared with care and love - you can just tell by how beautiful the presentation was and how well the flavors of all the ingredients both balanced and accentuated each other. I'm so happy we stumbled upon Eat Cetera and will definitely be coming back next time I'm in town! read more

very cool little place with interesting selections. decently priced.

Love this place!! I have to come here every time we come to Galveston. Recommend any and all of the food! Happy place!

Good selection of fresh salads, soups, sandwiches and paninis. Plan a leisurely lunch here and enjoy the freshly prepared food. They also had good choices for kids. read more

My friend and I stopped in here for an afternoon snack and it was just what we were looking for. The Thai pumpkin soup was delicious (and tiny--the cup, that is). There was one guy working there (we were the only customers at that odd time of day) and he was really nice. He set out a free sample of crostini and sun-dried tomato spread as an appetizer. If you're looking for a big, filling meal, you might want to go somewhere else, but for a light, tasty lunch, this is perfect. read more

One of my favorite places to eat for lunch on the Island. The menu serves up very creative sandwiches, salads, and soups. The salad dressing on the side salad is delicious! With anything you order, you get a little sample of bread and spread. The blue cheese spread and tomato cheese spread are really good. I also love that this place is pet friendly, allowing your dog to be with you on their little front patio. They also give your fur baby a bowl of water to drink will you dine. read more

We chose to eat here based on other yelp reviews. I have to agree with another yelper, service was AWFUL! We love to eat local and support small business but from the minute we walked in it was as if they didn't want the business. They didn't great us, drinks took forever (4 of us) refills took forever. Nobody smiled. It's sad. It's a cute restaurant and paninis we're good but service and rudeness made it not great. read more

Try the Spicy Indonesian Sweet Potato soup! It is hearty & tasty. Nice presentation. Very friendly service.

Great downtown lunch spot, clean, minimalist, classy - pretty much the polar opposite of what you'll find down the street at the Seawall. I had the Norwegian salmon sandwich and a bowl of cucumber-yogurt soup (special), both were excellent. I plan to visit again and try more of their fare; excellent, friendly service, to boot. Highly recommended read more

Lunched here with a friend and ordered the Thai Beef, Carrot, Radish Sandwich and the Black Angus Roast Beef with Blue Cheese Cream. The Thai Beef was fresh, and flavorful but for me the Sriracha mayo could have had more zing. I may ask for a side of Sriracha next time. The Black Angus sandwich was fabulous. My next order will be that or the salmon with caper cream. Love the contemporary decor and historical building. read more

This place had so many vegan options to choose from and the food was all amazing. Eat Cetera has outdoor seating and is very dog friendly. If your looking for a healthy and delicious place to eat on a day in Galveston, Eat Cetera is definitely the way to go read more

Great choice for upscale lunch in downtown Galveston. Broad menu with lots of vegetarian options. Save room for dessert!

Eat Cetera is very quaint. My sandwich came with a salad and there's also complimentary bread. I've been there twice now and both sandwiches that I've had were very intriguing and tasty. I'm not sure how they think of their sandwiches but they just work! read more

Prickly pear tea is amazing. Blue cheese spread was a nice mild spread and perfect compliment to the crostini. Mushroom barley soup was very flavorful. My husband and daughter both loved their paninis. Great find just a few blocks off the Main Street in the strand read more

Just amazing. I've had a lot of lentil soups and most of them are just plain boring, but theirs was exceptional. A wonderful blend of flavors. One of the specials was a plum, goat cheese and wheat berry salad. It was a delightful harmony of flavors and generally underutilized ingredients. The service could not have been better--warm and attentive. read more

Fresh and delicious food every time. This is my favorite place to eat in Galveston. The food is elegant but casual. I recommend their soups, paninis and all their desserts. You can't go wrong with eating here! read more

Website showed hours until 7:00 PM. Showed up at 6:10 on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, only to be told that they closed at 6.00. If you plan on giving this place a try, I would confirm their hours before you make the effort. read more
