We came here accidentally while looking for Gypsy Joynt, but we were happily surprised. The interior is upscale and beautiful but there isn't an expected dress code. The BLT with an added egg was definitely the best meal. We were obsessed with it and left nothing on the plate. The biscuits and gravy was also super scrumptious and had an excellent seasoned gravy with tons of flavor. read more

New hidden gem in Galveston!! Came to Leeland House tonight with a large party of about 25, and the staff was extremely accommodating and made the experience smooth despite the group size. We ordered our food and drinks at the bar, and everything moved efficiently. I ordered the seafood pasta, steak with risotto, and truffle fries, and every dish hit the spot. The seafood pasta was flavorful and fresh. The steak and risotto was amazing -- the mushrooms complemented the risotto perfectly and really elevated the dish. The truffle fries were a great side and tied everything together nicely. The staff was friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout the night. Overall, a great experience and definitely a new hidden gem in Galveston. Would absolutely come back. read more

The place is really cute. Nice atmosphere. The food was great and the drinks awesome! The weird part was we felt like the staff was doing us a favor by waiting on us. Weird vibe. read more

I'm not gonna lie... This hamburger was delicious! They told me how they grind their own beef from three different cuts and you can tell! Super wonderful! The cheese is rich, so just know that... But I loved it! Perfect fries as well! The ambience of the place was really welcoming as well as the staff. I can't recommend this enough if you're looking for a good burger on the island! read more

Leeland House - Obviously a hamburger! A big ass hamburger at that! - Restaurants Near Me - Galveston, Texas

Came here two years ago and it was absolutely amazing. However, after coming back after two years, the food was honestly disappointing and severely lacking. The fried cauliflower was delicious! Great for sharing and still tastes as great as it used to. The rest of the food, however, was just lacking in flavor. The sweet potato bowl had huge chunks of unripe tomatoes and the cheese wasn't melted. I had to use copious amounts of salt and chalula just to eat half of it before giving up. The ambiance itself is loud and uninviting. What used to be a charming brunch spot is now almost like a morning club. The music is very loud so that everyone has to raise their voices. No comment on the service since you have to go up and order yourself (which is completely fine). It was disappointing to say the least. I'm hoping this was just a one time experience and hope others have a better shot. read more

I was in Galveston in early April and I ate there a couple of years ago and the food is amazing. I currently live about 5 hours away and I am thinking about a road trip to come back there just to eat at Leeland House. Wonderful food. read more

We came in for brunch on a Saturday and the crowd was not too crazy which was nice. They have a few outdoor seating in the front as well as a spacious dining area inside. You can grab a menu and seat yourself. When you're ready to order, you walk up to the bar to put in your order. Don't forget to take note of your table number to let them know where you're sitting. We ordered the honey chicken biscuit, brisket hash, and eggs benedict. The brisket hash dish was rich and filling. It had a good amount of meat and was flavorful. The honey chicken biscuit was also nice. The biscuit was moist and the chicken was fried perfectly. We didn't like that the syrup ran into the fried potatoes though. The star dish was the eggs benedict.The perfectly poached eggs were plated on top of big pieces of ham that sat on top of avocado toasts. They have a variety of drinks as well. I opted for a banana cold foam matcha and it was so good. I personally wasn't too fond of the coffee drinks that I got to sample from my family members. I found the coffee too acidic, but I would definitely get the matcha latte again. Cool place to grab a nice breakfast/brunch before heading off to our cruise! read more

Leeland house is a chic and welcoming place nestled in the neighborhood. Everyone was friendly and welcoming upon our entry and the decor was crisp and inviting. They have an open seating and bar ordering system which some people balk at but, it was easy and more efficient than waiting for someone to come take your order. Our family of six was easily accommodated and instantly serviced with drinks. We ordered a variety of dishes and everyone left completely clean plates which anyone with kids knows is a miracle alone! The gravy for the biscuits and gravy is one of the most unique and tasty ones I have had with its andouille sausage twist. Be sure to add brisket for the true chef's kiss experience. Overall, very tasty and cool vibe place. Definitely recommend for anyone visiting Galveston. read more

There's plenty of free parking out on the street and the location is very close to a lot of nice places on the west side of the strand. We came in to get a quick bite to eat before going to our Red Light District tour and the staff was friendly and quick to have our food out. When you come in, it does feel like a nicer spot but with casual feels! As for the food, I will say that the pizza was very delicious! Crunchy on the outside with fresh ingredients! Definitely recommend this to people just want to try something different. read more

I think this place could have been 4 or even pushing 5 stars but I just did not like the service model. We went during brunch on Sunday, around 10:30 am. There is a sign at the front that says it's open seating, grab a table. Not ideal during a brunch rush, but we scoped out the tables and found one that would work for us with a high chair. Then, a manager came to greet us and talk to us about table we could take, which was confusing. Either have a host or don't, but don't have an awkward middle ground. We were able to sit pretty quickly which was great. But, they only have 2 highchairs for the entire restaurant and both were being used, so we had to wait a bit. They do not have booster seats. I went to the bar to order a drink and coffee. My husband later went to the bar to order our food, which came out quickly. The food was delicious, but I was a little disappointed with the portion size. I ordered the biscuit and gravy and added fried chicken, and I'm glad I did because the lack of plural in the dish title is no accident. The biscuit and gravy entree was just one biscuit and some scrambled eggs with shredded cheddar sprinkled on top (not melted). I am someone who loves cheese and would have preferred no cheese to it just sprinkled cold on top. The gravy was absolutely delicious, but the biscuit was kind of sad and flat. The fried chicken was excellent. My husband loved his steak omelette. I wanted another drink and, of course, had to go to the bar to order it. This is when I realized how truly annoying this service model is. My foot got cold while I waited during the brunch rush behind people ordering food for their table. You wouldn't have only two servers for all of brunch typically, but that is the model here. There were two bartenders taking care of the bartop and orders for the entire restaurant. It made me not want to order a second drink, which is going to hurt drink sales or result in tables sticking around longer after eating to get a drink. We also didn't have anyone check on us after the food was delivered, so I assume we would have to get any condominents, etc. from the bartender and wait in line for that. I don't understand operating a full-service restaurant like a bar where there is no table service and you self seat and order at the bar. There is a reason other restaurants don't do this. It's not a good dining experience. That said, the food was good and it was a nice vibe. read more

Service was amazing. Hands down. Pistachio matcha latte was also a winner. The migas were okay. We were told it was homemade brisket which I think knowing they made it more sad. It wasn't really a stunning brisket flavor and more so just flakes of beef. There were SO MANY CHIPS in my migas. It was three layers of chips that covered the entire bottom. read more

One positive thing about this location is that it's far enough away from the Strand where you can avoid the parking kiosks. If you plan on coming here, you should know this is a cashless business where you place your order at the bar and they'll bring it out to you. They do have a decent list of cocktails, some mocktails, wine, but just a handful of craft beers. If you do prefer a beer, everything is canned, nothing on draft. We ordered a couple of cocktails along with the brisket hash and double smash burger. Both were what I would consider exceptional for the money. If you love a good burger, this place serves it up. When it's time to settle up, you'll head back up to the bar where that handheld device will be waiting for you with the predetermined tips. Definitely worth a revisit. 9 photos included to round out the review. read more

I am a busy teacher getting ready for school to start Monday, so when they said we had a lunch break today some coworkers wanted to try this place. I had them bring mine back to school for me so I can get some more work done. I chose the brunch burger (fried egg, bacon, caramelized onions, smoked Gouda pimento cheese, I think arugula and a great aioli sauce that comes with fries for $16, but I paid $3 more to get truffle fries. I cannot pass up ordering truffle fries if they are on the menu. The bun was particularly delicious too. I loved the truffle fries here - skinny like frites and a yummy truffle sauce - not too strong but flavorful! Especially for a to go meal, this was very, very good. And large portions, so I have half of everything for tomorrow now too! read more

My husband and I ate at Leeland House on Saturday for brunch. Ayse was the bartender and our server and I have to say she was excellent. All of the staff was very friendly. I ordered the shrimp and grits and they were fantastic. My husband ordered the steak and eggs and everything was good with his dish except for the steak tasted like propane, but it was cooked exceptionally well. Had that steak not had that flavor I would've given this restaurant five stars. We will definitely be back again. Sadly, I was too hungry to take any pictures. read more

Leeland house is one of my favorite restaurants on the island. As a medical student, it was the perfect place for us to get brunch or destress after a tough exam. I have a couple of favorite items on the menu. For starters, the brussel sprouts are delicious. It features a tamari glaze that leaves a nice caramelization and hides any bitterness from the brussels. For the entrees, I love the BLT sandwich and the honey chicken biscuit. Both entrees are made with extremely fresh ingredients and seasoned very well. This is a brunch place that is actually very delicious and definitely worth a try and a chip at your wallet. At Leeland, there is a semi-self serve service where you walk up and order at the bar. The interior is decorated well and is very cute for pictures. read more

First of all Leeland House is in a beautiful building. You know it's pretty when I am taking pics of the bathroom! On a Saturday afternoon there was a decent crowd but lots of tables to choose from. Leeland House has such a laid back vibe. We snagged a patio table which was delightful because it was a beautiful sunny day. The menu was diverse and prices were reasonable for the island. We split a smash burger which was good and the green pizza (pesto, arugula, and white cheeses with a chewy fresh crust)) which was great! I love unique pizzas. They had a decent selection of wine too. Such a great spot to eat/drink and relax on the island! read more

The place was really cute but the food was just okay, it was fine until i had a spider in my salad that was moving so it kind of ruined my appetite honestly....they gave me a new one but I would've appreciated an apology or discount of sort. My experience was kinda ruined from this. It was also a little confusing with no direction whether to order at the table or the bar. read more

This is your go to spot for brunch if you're ever in Galveston. It's self seated and you go up to the bar to place your order when you're ready. The brussel sprouts don't even taste like brussel sprouts -- it's like you're cheating and not really eating a vegetable. It's not what you're expecting. It carries a super savory/tangy flavor which I personally enjoyed but if you're someone who cannot handle too much flavor on a vegetable, it may not be for you. 100% approve the chicken biscuit sandwich. I could tell that they were using fresh ingredients for both the entree and side salad. The restaurant is open door but cool and well ventilated inside. However, I went before the mosquitos got bad for the summer so I can't speak on that aspect. read more

The bar service was great. Thanks to Ayse!!!! The food was great especially the shrimp and grits. The steak was cooked over propane so it had a slight fuel taste but it was cooked perfectly. If you go sit at the bar and ask for Ayse. read more

Fantastic little place! We ordered a LOT... salads, salmon, dates, brussel sprouts, queso, cocktails... and all of it was excellent. The queso is on the thicker side. Great variety of drinks - be sure to check the bar menu for specials that aren't on the regular menu. The service was perfect, very friendly and attentive. Only thing that got annoying were the flies since the doors were open. They worsened as we were headed out or I would've suggested closing them. They had those swirling table fans that keep flies from landing but they don't stop them from buzzing around. Looking forward to trying their brunch soon! read more

this weekend was our second time here. the first time we came on a rainy day with our dogs, not knowing it was going to rain and unfortunately we had to sit outside but the server was still very sweet and attentive. this second time was even better. we got to sit inside, we left the pups at home and we sat at the bar. the bartenders were very attentive. the food was amazing and the mimosas were delicious !! the chairs were super cute and comfortable! we asked the bartenders if they recommended any bars in the area since it was our anniversary and we were just visiting for the weekend. and she was knowledgeable on a lot of places. we are definitely going to come here again when we come and visit! read more

Beautiful and quaint restaurant near downtown with lots of great food and drink options! You order at the bar and they bring out your food to your table. The ceiling lamps, wall art, and furniture give this place an elegant feel. The spinach dip was a great appetizer to share! Lots of chips and bread pieces for a large table. My favorite appetizer was the cauliflower, which was drenched in a sweet yet savory sauce! The salmon bowl is my go-to entree here! I love the combination of sweet potatoes, garlic, spinach, mushrooms, and lemon! The salmon is always cooked perfectly too. Parking is free along the street, but they also have a lot on the right side of the restaurant! Would highly recommend giving this spot a try! read more

Leland House has great food and a really nice atmosphere. The menu delivers, and the space itself is inviting and well done. That said, the service model was awkward for our experience. There are no servers and it's not full service, so you have to walk up to the bar to place your order and again anytime you need refills or anything extra. With a party of eight, this made the meal feel disjointed...people were getting food at different times, and someone was always getting up to ask for something. Overall, it's a great spot for food and ambiance, but the lack of table service made the experience less comfortable, especially for larger groups. read more

I wish this had gone better because I had high hopes. The place is cute for sure. It's a good looking dining room. There aren't any soft surfaces though, so the ambient noise and music bounce like crazy and it gets very loud. That can be fixed with some absorption panels in discreet places. If you're with someone who doesn't hear well they will not get any of your conversation. There is a serious gap in the service. We sat and weren't acknowledged for a long time. Finally we ordered food. And waited. And waited. Finally the server who was also the barista told us that our ticket had been "lost". So she has to take our entire order yet again. And we waited. Food arrived. All the food coming out is very pretty. I wish I had looked at other people's plates before choosing my entree. But that's on me for not choosing the right thing. This place has so much going for it but if patrons leave confused and underwhelmed they won't come back. I won't come back. I can give myself bad service with scrambled eggs at home. read more

We had the spinach and artichoke dip to start. Flavor and presentation was great! All the waitstaff was super friendly and nice. My sister ate the Boss BLT with truffle fries and a side salad, and I had the Sausalito sandwich with a side of truffle fries. We were impressed with the flavors; nothing tastes artificial and we did not feel bloated or sick after, which is a HUGE plus! If we are in the island again, we would definitely return and try other food. read more

Food. Both our meals were lukewarm at best and we were right outside the kitchen door. My wife had the brisket hash. It was lukewarm and not too her liking. I had the honey chicken biscuit. Again, lukewarm. I was hungry, so I ate most of it, but it really wasn't that good. The coffee we were able to get was also lukewarm. Coffee. Lukewarm. The service model is odd. You have to order everything through the bar and pay in advance. I guess that's so they have your money before you get the food. Then you serve yourself the coffee. Servers deliver the plates, I guess because the health department doesn't want the public tramping through the kitchen. All this for meals that start around 15.00 for most plates. Drinks extra. Try the lukewarm coffee. Don't worry about burning yourself, but you might get a chill. Oh, and on ambience they stream boomy dance music that I had never heard of, and never want to hear again. One big TV on Vice, one on Bob Ross channel. I don't know who this place is for, but it ain't me. read more

This was my second visit and Leeland House did not disapoint! We were a party of 7 and everyone's was fantastic. The only thing I don't care for is that you have to go to the bar to order and also you have to get your own coffee. I think it would be nice if they had carafes of coffee so you didn't have to keep making trips back over to the back wall. They also did not have creamer so I had to keep asking at the bar for some. I think they could also make it more obvious that you have to go to the bar to order. If I hadn't read it online, I wouldn't have known. My guest thought the music was too loud, but one of them had a hearing aid so it really bothered him. We were also in the back corner by the speaker. Personally, I think the music creates a fun atmosphere for young people to enjoy brunch. The staff was extremely friendly. Everyone was pretty helpful and had smiles on their faces. It did take me a while to get the attention of the bartender who was cleaning glasses when I needed more creamer. read more

Cool place with a good vibe. Initially confused by the seat yourself (clearing a table seemed to be necessary) and order at the bar but ended up being super efficient and a good way to get seated fast. Had a whisky smash, v. dirty chai and a boss blt. Food was very good, drinks were amazing, coffee was mid. My bf had the breakfast plate, eggs were good but the toast and blackberry preserves was some kind of voodoo magic. read more

The decor in Leeland House is great to look at. Modern furnishings and a revolutionary ordering concept. You go up to the bar to place and pay for your order. Then, after the food is ready they will bring it to you. The only thing they don't do is come around to place your order. We arrived a little before 9:00 on a Sunday and we were the only ones there for a little while. Then it got pretty loud because there were a bunch of ladies there for a bridal or baby shower and the acoustics were off the charts. The food was just OK. Hubby and I ordered the same thing - the breakfast plate that comes with 2 scrambled eggs, 2 strips of bacon (not all the way cooked through), diced potatoes that were very good and the 2 slices of sourdough toast (yuck!). Those that ordered the French toast didn't eat it all so I don't think they liked it very much. read more

This place was very hot and cold for me. While the food was terrific, the service system wasn't great in my opinion. Personally I don't care about service as much as long as the food is good, hence the 4 star rating. This place is self seating and order at the bar. While I appreciate the efficiency they are looking for, it causes a lot of chaos and people standing around. The bar is slow to take the orders and was rude, which made the experience start poorly. The cauliflower was a saucy goodness topped with micro greens. It seems like they added they sauce really early so it got kind of saucy and didn't have the crisp that I would hope to have, but the flavor was great. I don't feel like microgreens were really necessary but it fit the aesthetic they were trying to go for. The brisket has was good with no complaints. It's exactly what I was hoping for: moist potatoes, filling potatoes, and a runny egg with sauce to flavor. Wasnt anything spectacular, but very solid. The Sausalito was a chicken pesto sandwich that was quite tasty. We also upgraded to garlic aioli fries which was very much worth the extra $4 for me. read more

We went to Leland House for brunch and loved it! It's more casual than I expected - seat yourself and order at the bar. That could have been a little difficult if they were busier, but it worked out well. We just had a short 5 minute wait until a table opened up. I had an Iced Latte with oat milk, which was great and well balanced. We both had the Brisket Hash which was sooo good it was a good portion with lots of brisket and a perfectly fried egg. The cilantro aioli was perfect as well. Overall, we had a great brunch and will return next time we are in Galveston! read more

We went on a Saturday mid afternoon. The service was slow. Took the server long to greet us. Once we placed the order, it took 20 min just to get our coffees. The food came 10 min late and it was cold. For a restaurant that automatically adds 18% gratuity I'd expect excellent service. Not going back! read more

I Wish I could've gave this place a 5 star rating because food was truly great but service wasn't so good, I had to get up twice for the waiter while they ate or went across to the coffee shop they also didn't have $31 in change which is kinda weird to me as they are a buisness. Dinning hall was was very relaxing me and my girlfriend enjoyed the atmosphere unitl we got tired of waiting for the check. read more
