Old Moon Deli was fantastic to work with for a catered event at my workplace. They made the whole process easy from start to finish -- communication over email was simple, pickup was a breeze, and paying through an emailed invoice was quick and convenient. The sandwiches were absolutely delicious. I was also very impressed that they prepared the gluten-free sandwiches in separate containers from the rest of the order. That extra level of care really stood out. I highly recommend Old Moon Deli for anything from a single sandwich to catering for 30 people. They're great. read more

I guess I may be the odd one out when it comes to Old Moon Deli. We visited based on the Yelp reviews, which are very clearly positive, so I was expecting a really great experience. 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. read more

Stopped in for a bite between parades (Mardi Gras weekend). We had a party of 8 with us. The staff was great. Fast and friendly. The food was made fresh. I did a create your own sandwich, so I can't speak for menu items. My sister got the Monte Cristo and said it was great. Side note: They have gluten free bread and sweets! read more

Why 4 stars? Because the sandwiches were good, despite the circumstances. --- --- --- We were staying in Jamaica Beach about 25-30 minutes away and I happily volunteered to make the trek into town to get good food for lunch, as the family I was staying with had made plans to go to a tourist trap for dinner. Bad food for both lunch and dinner while on vacation can't happen! I heavily debated which sandwich I wanted to order for myself as there were several different interesting options. I ultimately settled on a Cuban, and the rest of the family gave me their order, which I called in when I was about 20 minutes way. When I arrived, the place was pretty busy and the girl bagging up my food seemed like she'd had a bit of a chaotic day to that point. I thought to myself, "I really should check to make sure everything's right so that I don't get all the way back to the beach house before we realize there's a mistake." But it would have been really annoying to sort through our big order, so I opted to just lean on trust. My drive back took more like 35 minutes because Galveston's lights along the seawall are not timed up. At all. 3 minutes of red light, 2 minutes of driving, 3 minutes of red light, repeat, repeat, repeat. As I sat in this mind-numbing traffic, I thought, "maybe I really should have checked the order. What if they messed up and put mustard on my Cuban? THAT would suck." I like almost everything, but I hate mustard. And I specifically said "mayo instead of mustard" on my sandwich. So, naturally, when I got back to the beach house, everything else was correct, but my Cuban was absolutely slathered in mustard. Joy. I ended up giving half of it to my sister in law and took half of her reuben, which was pretty solid. I ended up braving half of my Cuban, despite the mustard being on it, and it ended up being tolerable. I realize human error just happens sometimes, but man, that was disappointing. However, despite that, it was obvious that these sandwiches are made with TLC and that the 4.5 star rating is well-deserved. PS: I grabbed a slice of coconut pie for dessert and despite it being vegan, it was fairly enjoyable. But it would have been even more enjoyable with dairy :) read more

They get super busy at lunch time! A good sign, of course. I got the jerk chicken sandwich. I was expecting chicken breast, but it was deli style meat. I was most looking forward to the jalapeno cheddar bun. I'm Not sure if they were out of these buns or they were very mild in flavor. I couldn't taste either the jalapeños or the cheddar. Regardless, of these minor things, my sandwich was really good. It had a lot of flavor. It was warm, the bun was nice and toasted, and the cheese was melted over everything. Yum. They are a bit pricey, maybe that's the going price for the area? At least it was a decent portion with a lot of meat. When in town, I wouldn't mind eating another one of their sandwiches. read more

Made a day trip down to Galveston and stopped by Old Moon Deli to grab some sandwiches for a beach picnic--definitely the right move! We got two build-your-own turkey sandwiches and both were a hit. Super fresh ingredients, great portion sizes, and packed perfectly to take on the go. The inside of the deli is a fun little spot with a unique vibe and plenty of seating. The staff was friendly and helpful, making the whole experience easy and enjoyable. If you're planning a picnic on the beach or just want a solid deli sandwich in Galveston, this place is a must. Already looking forward to coming back! read more

Funky, locally owned and staffed offering sandwiches, salads and more. We've mainly stuck to the custom made sandwiches where you can pretty much build your own sandwich but this time I got the chicken salad salad. Huge portion for $12 that I made into two meals! Thanks Benji & everyone else! Plenty of seating, including upstairs and if you want a wine with your meal, it's available next door at Proletariat. read more

Always on the lookout for a local spot to grab a sandwich for lunch. Found this gem knowing we would be in Galveston. It's small, but they pack a lot into their panini sandwiches. I went up to the counter to order and changed my mind when I saw the special. I am a sucker for Italians, but then when I saw muffuletta, olives are my love language. Sandwich was good. The only complaint I had was the middle was cold on both halves. I opted for chips as my side, I am basic like that. I would go back and try it again for sure. It's a cute little deli. read more

Finally got a chance to come back to Old Moon Deli, and I was not disappointed! This sandwich was everything I dreamed of and more. I'm pretty sure the bread is cooked in house.. it's very fresh and perfectly toasted. I loved the combination of fresh ingredients on the Island Time sandwich. The staff was very sweet and kept the restaurant very clean. Absolutely amazing highly recommend and I will be back!! read more

Gluten free bread option. Vegan cheese and mayo option! They have a little paper where you can build your own sandwich. By the time I built my sandwich with substitutions and add ons, it ended up being $20 but the portion is GENEROUS. They really give you a lot of meat. I actually ate half and saved the other half for the next day. Great flavor! read more

Good sandwich shop in downtown Galveston. Outside can look a little sketchy but the sandwiches were packed with meat and made fresh for us.

I love this place! I was at a stop light in Galveston about two weeks ago, and I saw a sticker that reads "Old Moon Deli" on an electrical panel box. Made me curious if it was a restaurant on the island. I googled and sure enough two weeks later I went. My parents, my wife, and myself all enjoyed it. I had a Reuben sandwich. They make a very good Reuben. I wish I got pics of the food but I didn't this time. I hope this restaurant lasts a long time, the island hasn't had a nice little family owned deli restaurant like this in years. I also like the cat pics on the walls and the old school country music playing. I plan to go back. read more

The food is incredible. So many vegetarian options! The pie is amazing and the people are so nice! Come here!!!

Best sandwich I have had in a long time! I got the Hot Pastrami, and my daughter got the turkey club. My husband had a very fresh and tasty Greek salad, and we all split a DELICIOUS lemon bar! Want something other than Seafood here in Galveston? This is the place! Great staff! Super nice and kind! Really liked talking with the guy who was working the counter. The place is kinda small, but very eclectic and super quiet and chill! Best place we have eaten in Galveston so far! read more

The main lady at the register was very rude, and didn't respect me at all. People really don't realize it but kindness goes along way, I was really excited to try this sandwich shop, as was looking forward to it all trip, but that just ruined my day. read more

Amazing atmosphere and sandwiches. The service was fast and the staff was super friendly.

The best sandwich I have had in a long time. The Monte Cristo was AWESOME. Perfect in everyway! Top that off with some chocolate cream pie (Outstanding). Truly an exceptional experience! The gentleman behind the counter was friendly, helpful and makes one hell of a sandwich! KUDOS!! The place was spotless! This was my first time in the Old Moon Deli....It will not be my last! read more

Maybe I went on a off day, but I ordered the hot pastrami sandwich and it was really that good. It was terrible. Gave me heartburn for one thing and the woman behind the counter. Seems very distracted in a very bad mood. Normally she's not like I said, maybe I went on a a bad day but I'll give it another chance but it wasn't very good that day. Sometimes we have a off day. I understand I normally get the turkey. I didn't like to put strong at all well anyway that's my take of it. I guess not every day is perfect. Like I said normally the lady who is the owner is usually pretty nice but she wasn't in a very good mood and she seemed very very distracted. I might give it another shot. read more

The sandwiches are absolutely delicious. I had the monte Cristo. Perfect amount of meat and cheese. My husband had a sandwich with a few different things going on...it smelled delicious and I snagged a bite. 10/10! If you want yummy food, stop by. You won't regret it. read more

What a hidden gem of a deli. My family and I found this place online and finally gave it a try, absolutely outstanding creativity with the sandwich menu and quality definitely is there. We've come back and appreciate the consistency of their food as well as service. Very friendly staff, great experience. read more

After hanging out on the Strand, we stumbled upon this gem. We stopped for lunch and was not disappointed. We shared a Muffuletta and it was ok. There was plenty of meat, but wished there were more olives. It's a nice quiet place with a great atmosphere. You order your food at the counter and they bring it to your table. The staff is super friendly. read more

I've never had such a good sandwich. The ingredients were so fresh. I got the regular turkey sandwich and I added tomatoes, avocado, and pickles. The sweet fig spread really elevates such a simple sandwich. I'm gonna be thinking about the sandwich until I come back. It's really quiet in here and I really enjoyed the atmosphere with the blinds shut. This is such a good little hole in the wall. I'm definitely coming again. The kombucha was amazing although it was six dollars for the one cup without a refill. I probably wouldn't get it again, but it was still really fresh and worth trying. read more

Old Moon Deli - the interior of the restaurant - Delis Near Me - Galveston, Texas

My husband and I enjoy coming here for lunch dates. The upstairs seating is usually quiet and a good spot to chat. The acoustics mean that it never gets too loud. My favorite is the blueberry lemonade. It's the perfect pairing of tart and sweet. I also love to order the tuna melt. The bread is nice and soft, the tuna isn't overpowering, and it all works. If you're looking for the taste of a sandwich minus the bread, they do offer a salad option. This is a great place to try when you're downtown and want something light, filling, and delicious read more

I have been here a few times before but I don't frequent because I find the prices to be a bit much for a sandwich shop. The best thing about this restaurant is that there is something for everyone. Vegan, vegetarian and meat options are all available. I also like that they sell kombucha. I usually order the black bean burger. This time I added cheese to it. Combo with chips and a drink was about $17+. There was nothing special about the black bean patty, it tasted like it was probably premade. I do plan on going back whenever I am in the mood for a sandwich again and will probably try something different. read more

This place exceeded our expectations! It started with the service - I called and asked for a whole blueberry pie, which was apparently not a current offering, but the response we received was, "Sure, I will make a blueberry pie for you!" and we scheduled to pick it up at a time convenient for me! Our family has not had a pie with a vegan crust before and did not know what to expect. The pie was THE BEST blueberry pie we have ever had! (note: we are pie experts) So Good! The service and pie were tops!! Thank you, Old Moon Deli! read more

Sandwiches were delightful! Bread was freshly baked and protein stacked high. Some classic flavors, islands flavors and other unique sandwiches. Large sandwich menu! Fountain drinks, kombucha, teas, chips, other sides like potato salad, fruit salad, kale salad made it a full meal. To top it all off with desert - several options to choose from. Super friendly staff. Loved the historic building. read more

The sandwiches are just so dang good, and the people who work their are awesome. This place is a GEM!

Disclaimer: If you want a *cheap* sandwich, go to jimmy johns. If you want a unique, tasty sandwich, keep reading. For an $11 sandwich, it better be damn good... & it is. Old Moon never disappoints. Premium price for premium product. My friend had the Turkey bacon ranch. I had the Apple/Brie (Southern lady) and both were Devine. The chips are unique and funky and ever so tasty. Kombucha is amazing & local BUT $6 is insane for one cup. I'll pass on it next time and just pickup some from the farmers market. The blackberry is the perfect combo of funky, tangy & sweet for me. Sandwich, chips & drink was $20+! Steep but I'll be back, less the 'buch. The atmosphere is funky hip vibes. Quirky art, moody tones, cool friendly staff, etc. a local fav, for sure! read more

I recently ordered a Greek Salad to go and I found it lacking. It had plenty of fresh mixed greens, which was nice. However, the only toppings were sliced cucumbers, black olives and crumbled feta cheese. It was missing red onion, tomato and actual Greek dressing. It was served with balsamic & oil. My preference would also be to have a 3oz container of dressing rather than the 1oz. My expectations were met halfway, so I gave 3 stars. read more

My Husband and I stopped by to grab some sandwiches to go and wow did they hit the spot. We both got the turkey sandwiches with the fig spread & 10/10! Loved the girl working the front taking orders. She was so kind! read more

We ordered 2 sandwiches - looked good from menu - great variety and pies for dessert. As they brought my husbands sandwich they told us they' didn't have the special cheese for MY sandwich! Why didn't they tell me AS they were making the sandwiches. Why wait until delivering the food - that's too late. Don't know how long this place has been open or how such sloppy customer service is acceptable. The sandwich my husband ordered was passable and the amount of raspberry jam we had for the monte Cristo was barely a tablespoon and you couldn't dip the sandwich innthe tiny thimbleful of the jam ! You're supposed to be able to dip your monte cristo in the jam and slather it on. Not worth going back. read more

Found this place by searching YELP for some gluten free vegetarian options in galveston. We had planned on eating at our campsite the last night but plans changed and we had not researched out any options. Cons: parking is challenging. There is not really much available right on the street. I am not very familiar with galveston but it seemed like the only option would be to go park in the pay lot. We were trying to do galveston less expensively so my friend dropped me and my daughter off while she went and got her food. so we did not end up actually having to find a spot to park. Pros : 1. staff super friendly! was greeted warmly even though we came in 15 minutes prior to closing. He explained about their menu and also how to do a build your own salad or sandwich if we were not sold on something on the menu. 2. lots of food choices for vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters! 3. kombucha on tap! and it was so good! we thoroughly enjoyed this! 4. they have indoor and outdoor seating. so if you are not ready to sit inside yet because of covid there are some spots outside for you. 5. they do have GLUTEN FREE bread if you want a sandwich and have that need. my daughter was SO happy to be able to have a sandwich. She got a beyond meat burger with vegan cheese and some lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, and ketchup. she was ecstatic! i made a build your own salad and got a fruit cup but i was wishing for her sandwich. she gave me a small taste and it was very good! Give this cute little local shop your business they are definitely worth it! great food and great service! you wont be sorry! read more
