    Grilled chicken. Bertie's & candied nuts salad

    Several creative, fresh salads. A nice cocktail selection as well as baked goods. Had the grilled chicken and fruit salad. A taco salad and a very fresh slice of banana bread.

    Why 5 stars? Because the BBQ chicken pizza might be the best I've ever had. --- --- --- I've had Gypsy Joint bookmarked forever, but I am not in Galveston often, but I finally got to check it out after way too long. The menu is... wild. It's enormous and there are lots of incredibly unconventional items on it. I was really tempted to order something super unique, but I chickened out (pun intended) in the end, and went with a bbq chicken pizza. I'm so glad I did because it was amazing. It seemed like there were multiple kinds of cheeses on it. I'm not sure if it was more that or more the sauce, but it really was perfect and a big hit with everyone. We also had the Casanova pizza, which was basically like a meat lovers. It was solid but paled in to the bbq chicken. And for dessert, we got 3 different things: Strawberry Cake: 5-stars. It tasted very much like everything you'd hope it would be. Peach Cobbler: 4-stars. In fairness, I am not really a big peach cobbler person, so maybe others would think it was a 5. Carrot Cake: 3-stars. It was fine, but a bit dry. Overall, I could have hated everything else and would have given it 5-stars for the BBQ chicken pizza alone. But I thought it all ranged from good to great, and I'm happy I was finally able to visit! I'd happily go back again.

    The only issue that I had with the Gypsy Joint is that I hadn't been there sooner. I'm a sucker for unique decor and this restaurant has truly outdone itself. The menu is filled with everything from coffee, to pastries, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The staff were extremely friendly and answered all of my questions and made us feel extremely welcome. It's the type of place that takes you out of Galveston but still fits right in. I ordered the cinnamon roll French toast and if you're thinking of doing the same make sure you grab a to go box or bring friends to help! I'm actively looking forward to returning.

    Bacon cheeseburger with friend onions
    Matthew M.

    There is something for EVERYONE on this menu! It was huge with tons of variety and options. Different cultures foods all with a custom twist! This place is awesome from the cool hip and wild psychedelic interior to the hand crafted local and delicious food! I had ordered the bacon cheese burger that day because that what I was dead set on eating but I went back recently again for another great experience and I ordered a P A N C A K E T A C O! Yeah you heard me right, a pancake taco with bacon eggs and cheese and let me tell you for $11 this pancake was MASSSSSSSIVE and it was enough of a meal to take plenty to go and eat on the road. The breakfast here is next level but everything I saw go out onto peoples tables had me drooling! Can't wait to keep trying new options when I go back to visit these kind friendly people

    Delicious seasonal salad

    Listen to meeee..this place is awesome. Very eclectic decor and the staff is amazing!! Everyone is so welcoming and helpful. The food is delicious! The cinnamon rolls are huge and soooo good. They have a plethora of pastries so there's a lot to choose from but I highly recommend the cinnamon roll . My salad and Brussels sprouts were delicious as well...gotta have balance right. Overall, this was a great experience. This will definitely be a go-to whenever I'm in the area. Check this place out.

    A technicolor explosion, with friendly staff and unique creations. On my travels, seeked a breakfast spot that was close by but not too far off. I found this place in my search, and made the trek. I had to go past more than a couple graveyards to get here. Coupled with the dreary grey and gold morning made for a quite macabre scene. Then I wander into this place that looks like a gypsy tent. Tons of fabrics, linens, rock albums, and random Christmas decorations. It was loud and cobbled together but made a beautiful mural of 70s free love and 80s rock. The second thing I get slammed by is the overwhelming scent of cinnamon. The team was building the cinnamon rolls that day, had they smelled heavenly. So I had an idea of what I wanted to get. The man up front was very much the picture of rock back then. Longer hair, glasses, thin, long beard. Very rocker-esque. He took my coffee order, but had to call someone else for the food order. Then comes over a super friendly shorter lady to help with the food. She was very energetic but not oppressively so, and gave off the gypsy vibe of the duo. I was enamored by this, and pretty much bought whatever they recommended. I love supporting businesses like this. Weird but passionate. making their place the way they like it, and inviting you into their space to share that passion. I needed up getting the honey bear latte and a cinnamon roll French toast. The latte was sweet, but the coffee was strong. The cinnamon French toast was gigantic. Soft, cinnamon packed, with a rich frosting coating the top. The only criticism is that the cinnamon roll was too fresh for French toast. It didn't soak up the batter and ended up leaving a bit of egg wash around the outside . It was a great cinnamon roll, but not great French toast. Price was reasonable, and I adore the location. It's a lot to take in, but if you can relax and take it all in it's a really cool place with good coffee and food. Give them a try if you can.

    What a great pizza menu!!! I had the Fred Darling it was so good covered in honey drizzle and pine nuts

    The cutest best fun restaurant in Galveston nice break from fried seafood on the seawall the menu here is huge and everything sounds good

    Very cool aesthetic

    Amazing atmosphere, very friendly staff, the food is fantastic! We are in town for a cruise but will have to make it here every trip so I can try the whole menu!

    Amazing food. Amazing environment. Lemonade was sour and coffee was sweet. And OMG they have a bar now too!!!

    Breakfast sandwich..... huge!

    OMG! I'm in love with the eclectic atmosphere of Gypsy Joynt. There is something new to see everywhere you look. You order at the counter and your food is brought to your table. Everything was wonderful from the staff to the food. Definitely worth a stop in sometime!

    Lentil burger w/sweet potato tots
    Maria W.

    I'm so surprised that the fact that Galveston has vegan options in their local restaurants. That is very rare is what I found in other places that I've visited that was considered a traditional area for families. I'm with very thrilled to find out that Gypsy joint have vegan food. For the burger I opted for the lentil patty and it was well seasoned it was not crumbly and it definitely stayed together at that ate it. I've never been to a burger joint that actually has sweet potato tots. So the sweet potato tots were very delicious because they were a bite size of sweetness each time I ate into one. The bread that was paired with the lentil burger with slightly sweet not bitter soft and delicious I just wanted to eat more and more of that. And I was really surprised to find out the prices wasn't overly expensive like most of the island. The service was pretty nice considering the cashier was very personable she gave good recommendations. I absolutely loved the ambience as it was eclectic impaired well with the decorations of the restaurant. I actually want to return three or four times just to check it out a lot more they even had infused water which most places don't even do I've only been to one other hotel that had infused water and that was in Dallas. Very tasty and did not disappoint! I suggested this restaurant to another vegan and told them to check it out!

    If you're cruising the seawall looking for a solid meal with a side of ocean views, Nick's Kitchen…read moreand Beach Bar should be on your radar. We discovered it through Galveston Restaurant Week. They offered three course meals so diners could get a feel for what they offer. The portion sizes are insane. I never finish my meal, always take it to-go. You'll never leave hungry. Service is always warm and friendly. Our waiter, Aaron on our first visit was an absolute character. He kept the jokes coming. Nick's is part of the legendary Gaido family, an iconic seafood dynasty.

    We came here for appetizers after a long morning of driving 5 hours. We had the shrimp Mickey,…read morechilled shrimp, calamari, spinach & artichoke dip, and my youngest had the sliders. The shrimp Mickey was amazing and an unexpected flavor. I was expecting something closer to scampi flavor but it had way more depth. The dipping bread was also spectacular! The artichoke dip had huge chunks of artichoke in it so they did not skimp! Chilled shrimp was nice and fresh! My older kids didn't love the calamari but I think they were just overwhelmed by the tomatoes. The creamy tomato sauce that came with it was so delicious I would buy it jarred! My youngest reported loving the sliders and the fresh fruit cup was good fruit not cheap fruit. The sole reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the hostess humiliated my oldest, albeit unintentionally. He has a brain issue and is small. When I tried to give him an adult menu the hostess was questioning him on his age and was visibly surprised he is a teenager. I tried to shut her up but it ruined the experience for him bc he doesn't want to discuss medical info to make people stop talking. I could see if I were trying to get an older child a cheaper kid's meal but that wasn't the case. I think she just needs better training to not grill people. Just let them eat. The waitress was amazing and the bartender made the drinks PERFECTLY!

    This is a pretty eclectic place that fits in well here in Galveston. During Spring Break, they…read morewere a little busier during the weekday than normal. Lots of good options on the menu, and I was craving their famous cinnamon roll pancakes, but then a server brought out migas to a table and I immediately knew I wanted that instead. Here, it's a little opposite from most places, you gotta pick your seat first then order as the seats, especially the tables, are hard to come by at times. There are plenty stools along the window but the tables are better and most tables are family style so you'll likely be meeting someone new. I also added a chocolate bread pudding for myself which looked really good. The rest of my group ordered the granny's breakfast with sausage, 2 scrambled eggs and Benny's tostadas. The food comes out surprisingly quick for as busy as they are. Everything was so delicious! I ate a little of the bread pudding at the restaurant, then eventually ate the rest over the course of the next few hours. Yum! This restaurant is highly recommended!

After you finally order you get to try and find one of their dirty tables to sit at then wait way too long for terrible food. The food could not be more terrible, this is what they call biscuits and gravy and it tasted as bad as it looks, I think the best way to describe the color of the gravy is orange, which is weird. I had one bite of the biscuit and gravy and it was so bad that the stray cat that jumped on our table did not even want it, but it could have also been because of all the flies because the little fly fan at our table did not work but it also might have been from the constant smell from the sewer drain located right in the seating area. My wife had a chicken bagel egg sandwich- not good....all our food went in the trash. This is not a restaurant it is a disaster, do not believe the positive reviews.
