    Casanova
    Brett N.

    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

    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.

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

    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

    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!

    I ate there for brunch today for the first time and it was so good! Service excellent, dont let the frontage fool you the decor inside is so fun!

    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!

    Shroom Burger

    Went back recently and I had never tried the burgers. The shroom burger was awesome! If was so tasty. And went with the sweet potato tots, great choice. So many things in the menu and have some wonderful options.

I ordered the B Major, and unfortunately I didn't enjoy it. My main issue was the meat--it tasted low quality to me, and the texture was off. There was a good amount of it, but overall it just didn't work for me and I ended up not really finishing the sandwich. Based on my order alone, I would rate it around 3 stars. My husband ordered the Reuben and, on the other hand, he really enjoyed his and had no complaints, which is part of why I've given a slightly higher overall rating. The service and atmosphere were fine, but based on my experience with the food, I personally wouldn't return. There are just too many other places on our list to try, and this one didn't stand out enough for me to revisit.

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.

    Cutting across Texas to New Orleans, I knew we would be skimming the shore of the Gulf of Mexico…read more Shut up. My review, I can call it what I want. That being said, it had been some time since I've gotten some proper fish-n-chips. I had to remedy that. Especially since the BBQ fiasco the other day, I was going to go on a hunger strike, but once I made the sign, I got potato chip fingers on it and started to eat it. So, I decided to fight fire with fire, and figured I would eat myself happy again. Which I'm never mad about. Sometimes I make myself angry just so I can eat myself happy. And now, the rest of the story. I have learned that I enjoy Cod fish for my fish-n-chips. And I think also Haddock. I am not a fisher nor a fish. So it's hard for me to say. But I know Cod is one for sure. I also sometimes have baby mouth and am afraid of new things. I do know I love my fish battered and deep fried. I also know that Shark Shack had good reviews for their fish, so, that was all I needed to hear. Plus, it was a perfect little eatery with bar seating, table seating, and gifts! So you can bet your bottom dollar tomorrow I ordered the English fish-n-chips. Boy oh boy. Just like how Britain colonized all those countries back when it was the cool thing to do, these fish and chips colonized my taste buds. Respectfully. This plate came with FIVE logs of fish. FIVE! Maybe they were tubes of fish? Honestly, I don't care what shape they came in, they looked perfectly crunchy and perfectly brown and perfectly fish. The super cool extra bonus? These fish came with CRISPIES! I've only ever seen crisps with fish from Long John Silvers, whose fish is probably as far from Cod or Haddock as legally possible. I actually think one of my pieces of fish from there had shoelaces. Didn't matter. Still ate it. Respectfully. (If you aren't privileged enough to know what fish crispies are, there little batter pieces that fry or fall off the fish as they cook. Basically little crumblies. If you make a wish over a fork of them and get the forkful in your mouth without dropping any, your wish will come true). Homemade tartar sauce was good, but there was a certain flavor profile that I wasn't a fan of. It was still good to use on the fish rods, it just tasted a little too much out of the tartar sauce field for me. The meal was wrapped up nice and tight with lovely square-cut fries. Perfect doneness. Perfect Ketchup vessel. I could just stare at a pile of them all night. Mostly because I'm weird.

I decided to lean more toward the 4-star side, so here we are. While in Galveston for a quick weekend getaway, we wanted to go out for dinner. Katie's was my first choice, but the wait was too long, so I pulled up Yelp to see what else was recommended. Shark Shack had great reviews, and when we arrived there was zero wait, so we went for it. The one area where I docked a star was the service. We were seated immediately but waited quite a while for our server to appear, and then even longer to get our drinks. I was so excited for a margarita, but when it arrived in a plastic cup, I was immediately disappointed. Plastic cups are for the beach and nightclubs, not a restaurant with a bar. And that's not where the awful drink experience ended -- it was so weak and just not good at all. Our server seemed so disinterested in everything: taking our order, answering questions, and when it came time to pay, we had to wait ages to see him and wave him down. The food was decent with no major complaints. It wasn't "blow your mind" amazing, but it was good. The owner -- well, I assume he was the owner -- came and spoke to us when he found out my husband was military, and he was really nice, friendly, and very supportive of the military community, offering a very generous military discount. That definitely raises the rating and is much appreciated, so thank you. Overall, the big fixes for me would be the service and the drink situation. I can't say we would rush to come back just because we love Katie's for the service, food, and drinks..
