The Gumbo Diner - Galveston

UPDATE I was immediately contacted about the previous problem. We were provided with a gift certificate. We went in for breakfast today. The food was excellent. Especially good we’re the waffles grits. Our server took great care of us. Our drinks were never empty. We did not tell them we had a gift certificate until the end of the meal, so that we would get a true representation of food service. I’d now go back and try dinner again. Thank you Gumbo Dinner for the excellent customer service! Food was ok, we had Shrimp Grits , no spices or real flavor at all; crawfish etoufee was just ok, I’ve had much better; fried seafood platter was good but they only brought shrimp it took forever to get the oysters fish filet that was supposed to come on the platter. Service was poor, had to ask for a spoon three times, no drink refills, very inattentive especially since they were not busy.

My husband and I have traveled to Galveston two Summer 's in a row, from Northwest Arkansas, over 9 hours away. Both times we made it a point to eat breakfast at this charming little place. The views are incredible and the service is top notch. If I could give them 6 stars, I would. This past week we made not 1, but 2 stops at the Gumbo Diner. The first time we came in, we had coffee and breakfast. When we finished our meal we asked for our ticket, to which our waitress promptly replied: The couple who sat next to you paid for both of your meals, you are good to go. I had noticed a couple to our right, staring at me, I thought perhaps my wild Jeep hair was giving them something to grin about; however, I was immensely suprised. This was more than kind, this was a blessing. The world is full of good people and many of them live, work, and visit Galveston Island. This giving couple paid for our meals and theirs and left before we even knew. Wow! Thank you for your hospitality, attention to detail, and delicious food. All the way from Arkansas, I appreciate you! Keep doing what you 're doing!

The food was amazing and the service was even better! Me and four kids all had separate meals and everything was delicious and our waiter was a Sweetheart. I would definitely recommend this place As the food and service was great and the price was also right in our budget..

Excellent food! Our party of 9 ate there for breakfast and it was delicious. Best meal we've had in Galveston. Lewis was an awesome server. You can't find good service like he provides anymore. We will definitely be back and will recommend to everyone!

The food and service were both awesome! Prices are reasonable and the Gumbo is no joke! I’ll definitely be back and I highly recommend this place! Oh and the menu has a lot of different foods for all folks.
