The owners/chef and the staff were gracious enough to let us dine there even though they were closed for a private event. We were leaving town and had missed dining there two times already during the course of our stay. I'm so glad they let us barge in and dine! First let me say that the difference between a chef and a cook becomes apparent quickly when dining here. Not only do they make everything - including non gmo, gluten free options - but the presentation of the dishes (my salad especially) takes the enjoyment factor even higher. They also created a vegan and gluten free cookie that is the best we have ever eaten. In fact we brought some home with us in a cooler for our 5 hour drive! When in Galveston make dining here a PRIORITY! You won't regret it. read more

So on my recent trip down to Galveston, we were wandering around the strand historical district and were starving for food, so pull up the yelp app and what is near by? A place with a 4 1/2 star average? AND a raving 5 star from one of my favorite foodies, yeah, I'm looking at you Gretchen, and I was sold. It was just a few blocks over from where we were. When you enter, you would not expect this type of restaurant down in Galveston. It seemed like a place that would fit right into a Montrose/Westheimer location. It's quite small inside with about 10 tables. We came for lunch and I had the smoked salmon sandwich and my gf had the smoked mozzarella with grilled eggplant. Usually the only time I've had eggplant is deep fried, so I liked how they were able to present it in a healthier way and still keep all the flavor. It was a great dining experience, without being pulled into a tourist trap. read more

I don't give out 5 stars lightly. But this place is always consistent. As you can tell from my other reviews, I always look for "fresh". Eat Cetera has very fresh ingredients, freshly prepared and it looks as good as it tastes. I believe that food should appeal to all of your senses, and at this restaurant that is very true. One of the great things I like about Eat Cetera. is that they always have several good vegan options. There is usually at least one vegan soup, plus several options on their normal menu. They also have specials on the board that often include vegan options as well. read more

Wow! Cowabunga dude! Amazing! I was walking around searching on yelp.. i wanted a sammie and something fresh! I hit the jackpot on this cute little gem. I sat at the bar because I was having a "me" day and I was greeted by all the smiley faces that work there... The menu is a great size and offers a ton of different things. Fresh ingredients is always a plus to me! If I had more people with me..... i so would of ordered a ton of different things to share. I got a complimentary appetizers, Bleu cheese spread on little mini baguettes! Super yummy! Now let's get to this beast of a sammie! Thai Beef, Carrots & Daikon Radish : W/ cucumber, Sriracha mayo, cilantro & sesame dressing Kettle Chips were super dope! It is served on Cuban bread and a side of kettle chips (made in house) or side salad. You can have this sandwich on a Gluten free Bagel as well. Also if you are Vegan you can get marinated tofu and soy mayo! I literally could not stop or put this sandwich of amazinginess down. I believe the owner was there and I as she walked by I told her! She was very pleased! Try the foodies from here! You will not be disappointed! Amazing staff and super cute! Have a glass of wine and chill out from busy Galveston!

Small establishment with the best staff! My waitress was extremely sweet and guided me through the menu. The sun dried tomato spread was AMAZING and was served before my meal as an appetizer followed by a incredible and creative meal. The Mexican corn soup was to die for and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone! read more

Small sandwich shop located in downtown Galveston. Parking is limited. Don't park in the empty lot next door because you will get towed. The menu has a selection of sandwiches, paninis, salad, and soups. I had the turkey panini which came topped with bacon and white cheddar. For your side you have the choice of salad or kettle chips. The panini and salad were very good. Service is quick and friendly. read more

Me and my best girlie pal went in to the Star Drug for food but it was 3 and they were closing. The owner lady nicely turned us away and told us to go to Eat Cetera. We went in to Eat Cetera and my friend says.. there's no one here. I said its 3, its rainy and cold, and October so not a huge tourist crowd. c'mon, I'm cold. WOW.....I will be visiting here often. Great sandwiches. Two soups made daily from scratch. We had the tomato basil and it was fantastic. I had some sort of pesto chicken mozzarella tomato panini that was great. Sandwiches come with a small, good salad on the side. Also there are several good options for vegetarians in this place. If you are a beer drinker, the owner of Eat Cetera is from Germany and takes her beer seriously. They have German beers I can't pronounce but want to try. There was also an apricot ale that sounded yummy. I didn't dare eat dessert when I knew in a few hours I would be eating dinner at my mom's house but someday that chocolate cake with raspberry coulis shall be mine. Go visit!

Food and service was great. We really enjoyed it. There is 2 hour street parking. It is not foo n to be good for groups. There are only 10 tables (only 4 seat four people the rest are two tops ), bar seating, and some bistro Yankees outside. The only reason I wouldn't go five stars is it took a little longer than expected. Which if you have time or don't have starving children it would be fine. It wasn't an absurd amount of time and they did bring bread and a cheese spread after some time. The other reason is it is one of those restaurants that you walk into and don't know what to do. Do I seat myself or wait?! I really hate that feeling and it wasn't clear. Otherwise, it was great! We love trying something different when we're in town and we'll be back. read more

I use to love this place when I lived off post office st and would go there all the time! Unfortunately, the new owners have ruined the atmosphere for sure. As you will see in some reviews below they are very rude to you if you walk in with young children. Something that was never an issue before. As soon as I walked in with my daughters they mean mugged us and acted like we were a huge inconvenience. Ridiculous eye rolls, huffing and puffing, talked to a rude tone of voice, and would not accommodate us at all. Of course, we just walked right out after that behavior. Nothing but negative energy in a space where you would like to enjoy a meal with your family? No thanks! Instead we went to Maceos down the street and were quickly reminded how a genuine and authentic business owner runs their restaurant. He had the warmest greeting and immediately threw some tables together for us (even though they were busy) smiled at the children and accommodated everyone! Their food was WAY WAY better too! Skip the new and underwhelming eat cetera and head for Maceos! read more

Came here just because of the yelp reviews rating it #1 in Galveston. Decor, interesting, real small, glad we didn't have to wait. Great drinks, great pressed coffee, EXCELLENT Prickly Tea! Food came fast, owner was in a suit, lol. Very hipster/modern joint. I had the Salmon Sandwich (gluten free bread) Only reason I didn't vote it 5 stars was due to the fact they couldn't make a Gluten Free Panini, wish more places would accommodate gluten free, I am highly allergic, it is not a "fad" for me. Otherwise, this restaurant was delicious would def be back, uploaded my sandwich on the photos =) read more

All around fabulous! The environment was perfect for my solo Saturday lunch & the service was impeccable. I started with a cup of the soup if the day, a chick pea & sweet potato mix. I asked if it was cream based and was informed it was vegan. It arrived plated beautifully with two crispy grilled toasts and surpassed my expectations on flavor. Next to arrive was the complementary blue cheese spread and more toast. I wanted to lick the dish when I reached the bottom! So delicious! Then my main course was promptly presented including a fresh tossed salad (sans iceberg...thank goodness) and a warm panini. Once again ordering the special of the day, the panini had slow roasted onions, fresh asparagus, cambozola, and applewood ham. Ingredient proportion was nothing short of perfect, each part complementing the other. I reluctantly turned down dessert but will save room for it on my next visit! read more

Food: 4 Value: 4 Uniqueness: 5 Came here during my week off (and being stuck in Galveston). Haven't tried their more "exotic" salads or sandwiches yet, but food is definitely a notch above most of the selections on the island, and wasn't expensive at all (a high $ or low $$). Customers seemed mostly Galveston locals today, though I've heard tourists, UTMB employees, etc also stop by. Service was busy but friendly, though there weren't that many people here today. The 5 is my request to bring more of these types of places to Galveston. Having been in the SFBay area for 4 years, this place really reminds me of the places over there in California, which is a great departure from overcooked, fried, greasy stuff that's all over the restaurants and tourists traps over here. Oh, and Putayamo rocks. I like their music selection. read more

Eatcetera - Thai beef sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Galveston, Texas

This is my third time. The first two times would be 5 stars easily. Food and atmosphere are great. However this time I came with my family, which includes a 3 year old and a 1 year old. Immediately I received unhappy looks by one of the waiters when walking in. After we sat down and ordered drinks another server said to us they have no kids menu. This is fine with us and I already knew this. What's not fine is there was no comment about not having a high chair when I'm clearly struggling holding my one year old in my lap. They brought us drinks for the kids with no lid and after I asked for straws, the waitress quickly informed us there were no straws. After waiting another 10 minutes, no one came over to get our order. I have no problem if you want to be a child free establishment. But don't be fucking passive aggressive about it. Just state it clearly. Otherwise this was the worst customer service I have ever received at any restaurant. I have waited tables and worked in different style restaurants and would have handled this issue much better. You don't have kids, go and enjoy the sandwiches. You do have kids under 5, this is not the place for you. I won't be coming back with or without my kids. Too bad because the Cuban was pretty solid. read more

Went to have lunch and enjoy the artsy atmosphere but ended up waiting over 40 minutes for a soup, sandwich combo. Had to get my good to go and was surprised when I sat down to eat it. For $15.00 I got what looked to be a quarter a sandwich, less than half a cup of 'salad' (lettuce with dressing) and a small container of soup that was missing the topping. Flavors we're okay, definitely nothing to write home about and definitely not worth $15.00. Disappointed because I really wanted to like it and and sad I won't be going back. read more

Stopped in today. Excited about trying it We got our bread appetizer with the sour cream butter and found a long blond hair in the butter. No apology. No I am sorry. We left without ordering. Update. How dare you imply the hair was mine. My husband found it in the butter you had just brought out. My hair was no where near the butter. Seriously. I give plenty of 5 star reviews but that you have tried to shift the responsibility for the hair to me is utterly pathetic. No I will never return. read more

Wonderful service. Great food. We had the roast beef wit blue cheese sandwich and the zucchini sandwich along with the soup of the day. This is an excellent little hidden gem. We will be back read more

I came here for lunch with a coworker and immediately remembered being here for lunch a couple of years ago. It's a small, quaint little place with a varied menu of sandwiches, paninis, and salads. My coworker told me, which I remembered, that the sandwiches and paninis are mostly bread with little filling, so we each ordered a salad. He got a fancy kale salad and I got the sobu, which was arugula, noodles, seared tofu, carrots, and snap peas with a ginger miso dressing. It takes awhile for the food to arrive, so beware. While we were waiting, our server brought us some toasted bread with a blue cheese cream cheese dressing, which was good. The presentation is beautiful, but the salads are small for the price ($10) and hard to eat. My salad was more noodle than salad, which was disappointing. Our server was nice, so there's that. I just wasn't really impressed and I remember having the same thought the last time I was there. But the place was clean, and the food was fresh and healthy, so it gets an extra star for that. read more

Everything is good here. I got the ratatouille panini. Excellent! Also love the little toasts with blue cheese spread that they serve as an appetizer.

Amazing with flavors! Everything was fantastic with unique, delicious flavor profiles! Wish we could have tried everything on the menu.

We spent two lunches of our vacation here. read more

Nice place for lunch. Sandwiches are great, just wish the portion sizes were a little bigger to reflect the pricing.

There is a scene in the movie Chocolat towards the end where all friends and family divulge in a dinner that is prepared with joy, love, and smothered in chocolate. Absolutely SMOTHERED in chocolate everywhere! They are licking fingers, smacking lips, souls are "Mmmhhmmmm" from deep down and the most animalistic, wholistic, and love intense way.. Cutting, biting, licking, tasting, dipping, squeezing.. Everything interactive and all consuming.. That is what it is like to eat at EATCETERA! The most delicious and soul fulfilling experience caged in with floor to ceiling cathedral doors gateway to life wrapped in sunlight being bounced off of the most aesthetically pleasing music and lighting! Exotic ingredients mixed with simple pleasures carefully and intentionally placed to fill your eyes before your tongue and soul with delight. A must, must try! P. S. I only had the salad and hot tea.. I can't imagine the tears that would fall if I had ventured further into the menu.. read more

Service was great, and the food was fresh and hot. Can't ask for anything anymore!! I ordered the beef, onions, and shiitake mushroom panini and had the prickly pear tea to wash it down. Nothing special about the tea. The panini was good. They have some great specials for the kids. My daughter had the turkey and Swiss and my son had the egg and bacon. They both demolished their meals and chips. For dessert we had the creme brûlée cheesecake which was delish! read more

This eatery was a treasure of a find during our trip to Galveston Island. The food was outstandingly delicious and very Vegan friendly.

I'm only reviewing the BLT here. Score: 5/10 - bread: regular size, lightly toasted. Nothing special. - Bacon: soft but crispy, enough - Lettuce: specialty lettuce, not enough or crunchy like I like. - Tomato: warm cherry tomatoes. A nice alternative to cold sliced. But not necessary. CONCLUSION: it's trying too hard to be fancy but doesn't amaze me with the changes made to get there. read more

Wow! So glad I finally stopped by, they're open 11-4 every day but Sunday. Marty was awesome and informative. I had the salmon tartine - 3 generous slices and mounds of salmon, boiled egg, pickled onions and dill spread on toast - it was enough to share but I gobbled it all. They are mainly vegetarian but do serve some meat sandwiches and paninis, many with an Asian fusion theme. Full service, games to play, I'll be back! Their house Dijon salad dressing was stellar! I poured it over my salmon!! No liquor/wine.... read more

My family and I are visiting from NY and had a great filling, delicious meal today! The owners were so nice and even served us our food bc their waitress was given the holiday week off to spend with her family. What an awesome example of the kindness and appreciation of the owners to their staff. They accommodated is and our munchkins graciously! I would definitely recommend this spot for a good wholesome meal. It was great to have games to play with our 6year old instead of the typical coloring sheet to occupy her before food arrived ( which was maybe 10mins) read more

Small cafe with friendly service. I dined in for lunch recently and enjoyed the soup of the day (cream of asparagus) and a sandwich with olive tamponade and vegetables. The rolls they use for the sandwiches are excellent - crusty baguette. The server brought out complimentary bread with a blue cheese spread which was a nice way to start the meal. read more

How have we never been here?! Our loss. I'm always excited when the menu has at least 3 things I REALLY want.

Oh, I had ham and cheese with apple. read more

Great food and friendly service. Love the vegan options. Definitely recommend to anyone.

Favorite place on the island. A lot of thought goes into each flavor palette they create for each dish. All the food is so vibrant and fresh here. They carry gluten free bagels that can be used on both the sandwiches and paninis! I wish I could get a delivery service of their soups of the day to my house. I'd be in heaven. They serve gluten free crackers with the soup as well. Grab a dry soda or some iced tea and settle in to their clean, modern, but comfortable space, with some tasty food. read more

It's an overpriced sandwich shop. We had a group of six and their quaint shop couldn't handle that many so they split us up. For the price you would expect a hardier sandwich, not enough meat or flavor. Two orders were messed up and once delivered, the eggplant in the sandwich was well undercooked. No one experienced a better than average meal and frankly, overwhelmingly disappointed. Because of the party of six, a gratuity of 20% was applied to the bill for a meal that should not have been half its price for service you could get at a fast food restaurant. Much better places nearby. read more

I know five stars is a bit much, but I'm counting this meal plus the last. This is the freshest food in town. I can't believe there's not a line of foodies and others outside their door. For today's lunch, the absolute star of my plate was the chilled tomato basil soup w/ feta (I asked for a sub for the goat cheese). I wish I could make this soup at home. Divine as walking through a garden and picking small heirloom tomatoes and basil and eating them from your hand. I cannot imagine a better tomato basil soup. Now, the side kick of my side of soup was excellent as well. I ordered a Bacon, Mozzarella, & Tomato panini. Came w spinach as well. Simply delicious! Crispy and cheesy gooey with bacon and tomato flavors. Quite nice warm follow-up to the chilled soup! TRY EATCETERA! You will not regret it. read more
