I got the goat toast - berries goat cheese prosciutto with hot honey - came on two huge slices of toast. SO DELICIOUS OMG! I could only eat one slice cause I also had a scramble egg and cheddar biscuit. Biscuit was home made and so tasty. Hubs got the hula sandwich - had pineapple jalapeno onion and Sunnyside up egg. He LOVED it - except the big slices of raw onion that he removed easily. He also had sausage and gravy biscuit that was devine. We also had a slice of their banana bread. Needless to say we had leftovers to take. Decor was cool but uh maybe dusty? Imagine it's hard to maintain. Staff was great. We will return when we're visiting the island! read more

Update! I can't get enough of this place. The food never disappoints! I swear I've gained 5lbs in the last few months thanks to all their goodies I can't resist. The atmosphere is so fun and different. A true gem on the island that is family owned and operated. Customer service is always great and the overall vibe can't be beat. Be sure to try an iced honey bear, you won't regret it! read more

Gypsy Joynt - PMS Burger PMS With Blue Ball Burger - Cafes Near Me - Galveston, Texas

Let's just put it out there that we're vegetarian (and WOW is it difficult to find vegetarian food on the island) who also avoids alliums (onions, garlic, leeks, chives, etc)... and the youngest member of the family is allergic to wheat, nuts, eggs, avocado, and kiwi. The first thing you need to know is most of the items on the menu here are wheat-based but they do not have gluten-free substitutes other than chips, so if you're gluten-intolerant or have celiac's disease, your choices are vastly reduced to a side of fruit. Or at least that was my youngest's only choice after we went through the menu and a few trips to the kitchen. Also, all of the sauces contain alliums, so we avoided those. (Sad, because I love sauce.) This is a super casual, hippie place. You enter through the doors and there are menus, which you peruse before stepping up to the counter to order. You'll receive a number that you'll put on your table and they will bring your food out to you. Surrounding the counter are a lot of baked goods but we were busy with the menu. Especially since the line grew up to the door shortly after we arrived. The lady at the front is pretty nice but not knowledgeable about their food. She suggested macaroni and cheese after I told her we had a member who was allergic to wheat. At one point, she seemed reluctant to go to the back to ask questions. I'm guessing the place doesn't get too many people with food allergies since they do not have a binder with ingredients ready at the front. We ended up getting: CUSTOM PIZZA - This is large (~12 inches?) and a shareable size cut into 8 slices. You choose from a base, cheese, and 3 toppings. I chose a base of sliced tomatoes, mozzarella because we were sharing and the rest of my family doesn't like adventurous cheeses, topped with broccoli, mushrooms, and pineapple. The crust was great and the pizza delicious. Hubby thinks they use fresh pineapples! They did miss the broccoli though so we sadly had no greens on the pizza as we wanted. Maybe they thought the sliced tomatoes was a part of the toppings? My daughter loves pizza crust and she was very happy this. This isn't thin crust pizza. CHURRO CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES - This comes in a set of 2 the size of your dinner plate for $8 with a side of syrup and butter. Not too much cinnamon. Fluffy. Yum. Because of the size AB's my daughter ordered it, we had leftovers that we doggy bagged. PANCAKE TACO WITH EGGS AND CHEDDAR - This is exactly what it sounds like and I have no regrets. A fluffy pancake filled with eggs and topped with shredded cheese. It was wrapped up and because the cheese was on top, a bit of it got stuck to the paper, so I wish they stuffed the cheese on the INSIDE so some melted cheese wouldn't be wasted, but I was still very much content with it. This was mine. PINEAPPLE LEMONADE - This was on the countertop and I got it on a whim. I liked how the tropical sweetness of the pineapple cut through the tart lemonade. Overall, the food was great! HOWEVER, it took a long time to get the food. I think we waited around 30 minutes and it was only slightly better that we weren't the only ones - and it wasn't even THAT crowded yet (Thursday night at around 6 pm) though the place is clearly a favorite. In addition to dine in customers, they had a steady stream of phone orders for pick up. I can't imagine the wait time if it was on the weekend during busy hours! Funky decor come to the rescue! My daughter started asking where the food was at the 5 minute mark, so I started a game of "I Spy" with all the paraphernalia on the ceilings and walls. We actually started running out of things to look for towards the end. We'll likely return, maybe during slow hours, because the wait is a bit long for us and young kids. (Luckily, our youngest fell asleep or we'd have 2 unhappy kiddos on hand plus sad puppy eyes as he watches the rest of us eat.) If you're in a hurry or have plans, keep that in mind. I was there when a phone order came in and the wait time for that was 45 minutes. Because of the wait and lack of food substitutions/allergy friendly options, I teetered between 3 and 4 stars but decided to round down because though the staff there is fairly nice (but tired) and we enjoyed the food, they didn't seem to know much about food and that is potentially disastrous. We'll likely bring food with us for our youngest if we return. read more

Gypsy Joynt - Pancake taco with eggs and cheese - Cafes Near Me - Galveston, Texas

Man oh man! This is a hidden gem! My sister was the one that had mentioned this place the last time we had visited Galveston so I had to try it. When you arrive and see the outside of the location you do not think much of it until you walk inside and it feels like you are in a completely part of the world! The decorations are unique and make the place. I loved it! It is a self order and seating place which wasn't bad at all. The service was great, friendly and very welcoming. The food options are quite different so I decided to step out of my comfort zone and tried a new sandwich that consisted of chicken tenders, bacon, muenster cheese, PEACHES, and pineapple salsa. I am not one to mix sweet and salty at all but the sandwich was delightful. The serving size was huge that I couldn't finish it. My husband ordered the spicy chicken sandwich which was also amazing. I always have to try his food. The best item we ordered and shared were the onion rings. They were more like onion strings but the batter used was mouth watering tasty! I loved that they make all of their own sauces including their ranch which I loved!! I highly recommend coming away from Seawall and checking out this Joynt! Come with an open mind and palette of trying new things. Next time I return, I want to try out their bunch and their iced coffee as I saw others getting it and wanted it but was too full to try. read more

Holy Toledo, this place is everything I want in a restaurant in more. The atmosphere is 10/10 but even better is the food! We spent probably 20 minutes studying the menu only to discover that you can order anything and it'll all be delicious. We opted for a sausage biscuit, breakfast potatoes, kids cheeseburger with fries, cheesy bread, breakfast bowl #4 (potatoes, bacon, cheese, egg & sausage gravy). Loved every bite! We also tried the mocha chocolate cake and WOW was it incredible. Very much looking forward to visiting next time we're in town - striving to make our way through the entire menu! Honorable mention for the 'order at the counter' system. This place is the ultimate chill in the best way. read more

First off, the ambiance and service at this place was great. Lively, eclectically decorated, and colorful w plenty of tables for groups. We walked in and were immediately greeted by a friendly hostess behind the counter who told us to grab 3 different menus, choose our table and come back to order. One menu was breakfast, one menu was deli, and the main menu was a 3-4 page spread. So yes, there's a gigantic menu that has pretty much everything other than pasta. My kids ordered the pancakes, husband ordered the burrito and I got the grilled shrimp salad. We also got bacon on the side and decided to try the jives sweet potato "fries" recommended by the hostess. Our food took a while to get to our table. Overall we felt that it was nothing special taste wise. With such a humongous menu I was a little worried that the food wouldn't be that great, so it was better than expected. My shrimp salad wasn't very well balanced, super tangy and salty with the bacon and olives. The ingredients were fresh though and my shrimp were cooked perfectly. Pancakes were really doughy/cakey and it seemed quite stingy on the toppings. The Nutella pancake appeared to just have a squirt of Nutella on top. My husband didn't really like his #2 burrito although he ate it all bc he was hungry. He said it was rather dry and that the stuffing didn't seem to mesh well together. The jives sweet potatoes were a major disappointment, basically thinly sliced sweet potatoes in a chip style, completely flaccid and no seasoning. Also a smaller portion than expected. Not sure why this was recommended to us when I asked what were the most popular fries, almost wondered if they brought the wrong order. Overall though it's a fun atmosphere, with such an extensive menu including a huge variety of desserts and baked goods I'm sure there are winners in there that we didn't get to discover. Would recommend for those looking for a fun casual restaurant w a variety menu including breakfast items, sandwiches and pizza, and for groups w kids in Galveston. read more

Awesome food, love the ambiance. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Galveston. The service is good as well.

This place has so much potential. The only reason it has any stars is that the food is pretty good. We got the muffuleta pizza, caprese grilled cheese with sweet potato tots, and the fried brussel sprouts. I really enjoyed all of the food a lot. I thought the grilled cheese was a little greasy but the flavors were there and I really appreciated the freshness of the pesto, tomatoes, and avocado in a deliciously dense sandwich. I thought the muffuleta pizza was a delicious combination of flavors, and we added some banana peppers, which elevated it to a different level (highly recommend if you have some at home). Now the reason why this place has 2 stars is the service. It's an order at the counter style diner, and it took us about 5-10 minutes to order, which is fine. After we ordered, we sat down and proceeded to wait AN HOUR for our food. The wait was so long that we ended up taking our food to go because we needed to handle other things in the day. It wasn't just us either; of the ~20 tables that were sitting there waiting, 1 table had their food. I then proceeded to ask the waiter if there was something happening but she said that nothing out of the ordinary was happening, meaning that they were this backed up on a Sunday during lunch hours. If you are to come here, I would recommend calling ahead and ordering to go so you hopefully won't have to go through what I went through. Again great food, would definitely give this place another try, but the speed is abysmal. read more

5 star rated! Food was AMAZING! Such a variety menu of options. Great for breakfast and lunch. Very unique and one of a kind. Very laid back and friendly feel to this place. As you walk in you are welcomed by friendly smiles and the smell of cinnamon rolls and other delicious baked goods. The jumbo chicken wings are awesome, highly recommend! Everything on the menu looked amazing. The manager / chef was making his rounds to check on his customers, new and local regulars. Looks like a locally owned, one of a kind restaurant, that's very unique with great menu options. Definitely worth trying this place if you haven't yet! read more

Maybe changing location changed their horrible service. They screwed up my birthday meal 2x and yet I gave them a 3rd try when I brought folks fron north Houston. 3 strikes your out! Never again.

We decided to try this place this weekend. Folks were extremely friendly and helpful with recommendations. We tried a couple different items. My surf and turf Quesadilla was great and the wife enjoyed her meal as well. I tried her sweet potato tater tots. They were great. We definitely want to come back to try breakfast. read more

Went here for the first time and we will be back. Absolutely delicious and perfect service. The owners even came up to introduce themselves and see how we liked the food. I had the grilled caprese sandwich. Absolutely divine...homemade bread, homemade pesto, fresh avocado, gooey mozzarella and the thickest crispy bacon ever. My husband had a breakfast plate with delicious eggs, potatoes, that stupid good bacon and the best pancake ever. Also bought the famous cinnamon roll to go. Y'all...get that cinnamon roll....omg read more

The atmosphere is so fun and electric. New Orleans, Mardi Gras vibe. Lots of stuff on the ceiling and walls. This is a great place to bring kiddos for a family meal. You order at the counter and the staff brings our your food. Service was super friendly and helpful. It seems to get pretty busy for lunch and we waited a bit for food but that makes sense of their busy! The menu has a lot of options, southern and American food. My pizza was soooo good. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food. read more

I recently visit Gypsy Joynt for lunch with family. The menu is massive with a variety of different bar type foods (even though this is not a bar). After much deliberation I ordered the Jumbo Wings and Cheesy Bread. The Wings were large, meaty, and lightly spicy. The Cheesy Bread was soft and topped with nicely gooey cheese. Overall, this was a nice stop for lunch. read more

Had Al Capone and shrimp quesadillas, both were delicious. Staff were super sweet. Decor gives a great vibe.

My fiancé and I LOVE Gypsy Joint. Everyone is always so nice and the burgers are to die for! The restaurant is also so cute inside.

Need a cinnamon rolls the size of your face? Need some cookies to polish off while you wait for your meal? I'm not exaggerating! At Gypsy Joynt you order at the counter where all of the amazing desserts distract you from the impressive menu. Once you finally decide on your main course, you pick your table and the staff brings you your food order. As you wait you can soak in all of the eclectic decorations. There is a lot to look at and all of it is so much fun! Their menu is as eclectic as their decor. It's a great place to eat at if you aren't sure what you want, when you want solid vegetarian options, or want a unique local eatery. It is a popular place to eat, for good reason, so go at off times if you're hoping to avoid a line. There are tables that can accommodate a larger group and great corner tables if you want to enjoy a meal alone. read more

Re-visited at the new location and Gypsy Joynt has unfortunately gone very much downhill. Only one cashier for a large restaurant means long waits to order and ridiculously long waits for food. We waited over an hour for breakfast to come out of the kitchen. It's breakfast food...it's not hard to make. The kitchen appears to be very disorganized and in the weeds. The restaurant is full of tables with no food. The decorations can only take this restaurant so far. Without quicker and more streamlined service, we won't be back. An overall disappointing experience. read more

We stumbled upon this place by accident while searching for another spot, and we were pleasantly surprised! Unbeknownst to us, we had discovered a hidden gem. The ambiance as soon as you walk through the door is fantastic. It's hard to pinpoint whether it's Mardi Gras, Christmas, LGBTQIA, or NOLA, but whatever it is, it exudes sheer joy! And we absolutely loved it! You place your order at the counter where the cashier is extremely nice, friendly, and ready to take your order. I ordered the Moooo and my husband had the Hey Jake, in Jamdung. Let me just say that we had no idea what we were ordering, but we were quite excited to try something new. When I tell you that no matter what we would have expected, it couldn't compare to what we got. The mix of sweet potato chips, some type of beef roast, and all kinds of other flavors was beyond what I could have expected! My husband and I hardly spoke because we were just so in love with our food. I also ordered a slice of strawberry cake to go, and it was pure heaven. I can't wait to go back and try something else on their menu. They offer such amazing mind-blowing flavors! I really can't wait to return. read more

I really want to like this place. They have a great atmosphere, friendly workers and fun decor...but their food is just not good. I had the mushroom Swiss burger. It has a great presentation when they set it on the table. It's massively tall, however, that's about all it has going for it. It honestly tastes like imitation meat? You would have no idea it was "grilled". A giant rubbery burger. I also got the onion rings. They would have been good (crispy batter!) except the amount of salt on them made it inedible. I had one and threw the rest away. I probably ate two bites on hamburger and one onion ring and ended up chugging bottles of water on the way home. I Will not eat here again unfortunately. read more

Quirky and Eclectic, the Gypsy Joint's flavors will catch you off guard. Hailing a menu six to pages long, you can find anything from breakfast to dinner and everything else in-between! Whether it's the homemade sweets catching your eye at the register or the wall decorum, the Gypsy Joint is definitely a must to try while in Galveston. NYE 2021, led me to Galveston where we stumbled upon the Gypsy Joint by recommendation of my AirBnB host. Chill vibes, plenty of space with massive flavors, I was pleasantly surprised. The Fried Brussel Sprouts are a HIT! The biscuits are HUGE, the homemade JAM IS FIRE!!!! Flavors & chill vibes, pull up on the Gypsy Joint for large portions and even bigger taste! read more
