What the Heck Tots
Rachel H.

Came here to try something while on vacation. We were greeted immediately. The atmosphere is very casual, fun and family friendly. Our food came out in a timely fashion and everything tasted really good. Super fun place. Would certainly be back again to try more things.

This was my first time at Gypsy Joynt on July 25,2026 at 9:47am. I was recommended to get the breakfast bowl 2 and I added queso. I can say I was not impressed. The food lacked flavor, and the potatoes did not taste cooked through completely. I was very disappointed and probably will not be back. Service was good tho

Speacialty Blueberry Pancake

My kid loved the blueberry pancakes!!! We also loved the Nutella pancake and the regular pancakes!! Amazing food, fun atmosphere, and great service!!

Casanova

Why 5 stars? Because the BBQ chicken pizza might be the best I've ever had. --- --- --- I've had Gypsy Joint bookmarked forever, but I am not in Galveston often, but I finally got to check it out after way too long. The menu is... wild. It's enormous and there are lots of incredibly unconventional items on it. I was really tempted to order something super unique, but I chickened out (pun intended) in the end, and went with a bbq chicken pizza. I'm so glad I did because it was amazing. It seemed like there were multiple kinds of cheeses on it. I'm not sure if it was more that or more the sauce, but it really was perfect and a big hit with everyone. We also had the Casanova pizza, which was basically like a meat lovers. It was solid but paled in to the bbq chicken. And for dessert, we got 3 different things: Strawberry Cake: 5-stars. It tasted very much like everything you'd hope it would be. Peach Cobbler: 4-stars. In fairness, I am not really a big peach cobbler person, so maybe others would think it was a 5. Carrot Cake: 3-stars. It was fine, but a bit dry. Overall, I could have hated everything else and would have given it 5-stars for the BBQ chicken pizza alone. But I thought it all ranged from good to great, and I'm happy I was finally able to visit! I'd happily go back again.

Grilled chicken. Bertie's & candied nuts salad

Several creative, fresh salads. A nice cocktail selection as well as baked goods. Had the grilled chicken and fruit salad. A taco salad and a very fresh slice of banana bread.

The only issue that I had with the Gypsy Joint is that I hadn't been there sooner. I'm a sucker for unique decor and this restaurant has truly outdone itself. The menu is filled with everything from coffee, to pastries, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The staff were extremely friendly and answered all of my questions and made us feel extremely welcome. It's the type of place that takes you out of Galveston but still fits right in. I ordered the cinnamon roll French toast and if you're thinking of doing the same make sure you grab a to go box or bring friends to help! I'm actively looking forward to returning.

Bacon cheeseburger with friend onions
Matthew M.

There is something for EVERYONE on this menu! It was huge with tons of variety and options. Different cultures foods all with a custom twist! This place is awesome from the cool hip and wild psychedelic interior to the hand crafted local and delicious food! I had ordered the bacon cheese burger that day because that what I was dead set on eating but I went back recently again for another great experience and I ordered a P A N C A K E T A C O! Yeah you heard me right, a pancake taco with bacon eggs and cheese and let me tell you for $11 this pancake was MASSSSSSSIVE and it was enough of a meal to take plenty to go and eat on the road. The breakfast here is next level but everything I saw go out onto peoples tables had me drooling! Can't wait to keep trying new options when I go back to visit these kind friendly people

Delicious seasonal salad
Nina J.

Listen to meeee..this place is awesome. Very eclectic decor and the staff is amazing!! Everyone is so welcoming and helpful. The food is delicious! The cinnamon rolls are huge and soooo good. They have a plethora of pastries so there's a lot to choose from but I highly recommend the cinnamon roll . My salad and Brussels sprouts were delicious as well...gotta have balance right. Overall, this was a great experience. This will definitely be a go-to whenever I'm in the area. Check this place out.

A technicolor explosion, with friendly staff and unique creations. On my travels, seeked a breakfast spot that was close by but not too far off. I found this place in my search, and made the trek. I had to go past more than a couple graveyards to get here. Coupled with the dreary grey and gold morning made for a quite macabre scene. Then I wander into this place that looks like a gypsy tent. Tons of fabrics, linens, rock albums, and random Christmas decorations. It was loud and cobbled together but made a beautiful mural of 70s free love and 80s rock. The second thing I get slammed by is the overwhelming scent of cinnamon. The team was building the cinnamon rolls that day, had they smelled heavenly. So I had an idea of what I wanted to get. The man up front was very much the picture of rock back then. Longer hair, glasses, thin, long beard. Very rocker-esque. He took my coffee order, but had to call someone else for the food order. Then comes over a super friendly shorter lady to help with the food. She was very energetic but not oppressively so, and gave off the gypsy vibe of the duo. I was enamored by this, and pretty much bought whatever they recommended. I love supporting businesses like this. Weird but passionate. making their place the way they like it, and inviting you into their space to share that passion. I needed up getting the honey bear latte and a cinnamon roll French toast. The latte was sweet, but the coffee was strong. The cinnamon French toast was gigantic. Soft, cinnamon packed, with a rich frosting coating the top. The only criticism is that the cinnamon roll was too fresh for French toast. It didn't soak up the batter and ended up leaving a bit of egg wash around the outside . It was a great cinnamon roll, but not great French toast. Price was reasonable, and I adore the location. It's a lot to take in, but if you can relax and take it all in it's a really cool place with good coffee and food. Give them a try if you can.

What a great pizza menu!!! I had the Fred Darling it was so good covered in honey drizzle and pine nuts
Wendy J.

My boyfriend got their sandwich that was similar to an Italian sub, which comes with the olive spread on it. He liked his sandwich, but felt the olive spread was overwhelming and scraped most of it off. He later said that had there been less of it on the sandwich it probably would've been better for him. My stomach was a little upset, so I was looking for something milder. So I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich off of the kids menu. Maybe it's just me, but a grilled cheese sandwich is American cheese on white bread, grilled. Here, apparently children eat cheddar and Swiss on a grilled roll. I asked to hold the Swiss, and went with straight cheddar as American was not an option. It was OK, but nothing to write home about in my opinion. Apparently this is a popular spot, as the tables were full both before we arrived and after we left, but unfortunately, we did not have an overwhelmingly positive experience.

We traveled to Galveston to visit the store and restaurant firsthand. For years, we followed Ronnie Maceo's story and were saddened by his passing. Thankfully, his daughter, Concetta, has continued the family legacy. We were fortunate to meet her during our visit. She was incredibly gracious, and spending time with her made the experience even more memorable. The food was absolutely delicious, and we couldn't leave without stocking up on spices and sauces. It's amazing how much history, culture, and tradition are packed into this one place. The gumbo roux is the perfect rich, dark color, and the flavor is everything you hope for--authentic, hearty, and reminiscent of New Orleans. Concetta also shared the weekly specials, giving us even more reasons to return. Needless to say, every future trip to Galveston will include a stop at Maceo's. I highly recommend adding Maceo's to your bucket list. See you there!

My only dislike about the Muffuletta was the meat and cheese portion is small- it's very bread heavy.

I would not miss the chance to come here while you're visiting Galveston. I can't wait to try other items on the menu!

I wasn't a fan of the vanilla latte, as it was much too sweet for my taste, and the regular coffee was just okay--it lacked the bold flavor or kick I was hoping for. Others at my table ordered the steak and eggs and the migas, and both cleaned their plates, which is always a good sign. Overall, it was a nice breakfast spot with plenty of menu items I'd like to try, and I'd definitely go back.

I had one bite of the biscuit and gravy and it was so bad that the stray cat that jumped on our table did not even want it, but it could have also been because of all the flies because the little fly fan at our table did not work but it also might have been from the constant smell from the sewer drain located right in the seating area. My wife had a chicken bagel egg sandwich- not good....all our food went in the trash. This is not a restaurant it is a disaster, do not believe the positive reviews.

Cutting across Texas to New Orleans, I knew we would be skimming the shore of the Gulf of Mexico…read more Shut up. My review, I can call it what I want. That being said, it had been some time since I've gotten some proper fish-n-chips. I had to remedy that. Especially since the BBQ fiasco the other day, I was going to go on a hunger strike, but once I made the sign, I got potato chip fingers on it and started to eat it. So, I decided to fight fire with fire, and figured I would eat myself happy again. Which I'm never mad about. Sometimes I make myself angry just so I can eat myself happy. And now, the rest of the story. I have learned that I enjoy Cod fish for my fish-n-chips. And I think also Haddock. I am not a fisher nor a fish. So it's hard for me to say. But I know Cod is one for sure. I also sometimes have baby mouth and am afraid of new things. I do know I love my fish battered and deep fried. I also know that Shark Shack had good reviews for their fish, so, that was all I needed to hear. Plus, it was a perfect little eatery with bar seating, table seating, and gifts! So you can bet your bottom dollar tomorrow I ordered the English fish-n-chips. Boy oh boy. Just like how Britain colonized all those countries back when it was the cool thing to do, these fish and chips colonized my taste buds. Respectfully. This plate came with FIVE logs of fish. FIVE! Maybe they were tubes of fish? Honestly, I don't care what shape they came in, they looked perfectly crunchy and perfectly brown and perfectly fish. The super cool extra bonus? These fish came with CRISPIES! I've only ever seen crisps with fish from Long John Silvers, whose fish is probably as far from Cod or Haddock as legally possible. I actually think one of my pieces of fish from there had shoelaces. Didn't matter. Still ate it. Respectfully. (If you aren't privileged enough to know what fish crispies are, there little batter pieces that fry or fall off the fish as they cook. Basically little crumblies. If you make a wish over a fork of them and get the forkful in your mouth without dropping any, your wish will come true). Homemade tartar sauce was good, but there was a certain flavor profile that I wasn't a fan of. It was still good to use on the fish rods, it just tasted a little too much out of the tartar sauce field for me. The meal was wrapped up nice and tight with lovely square-cut fries. Perfect doneness. Perfect Ketchup vessel. I could just stare at a pile of them all night. Mostly because I'm weird.

Why 5 stars? Because it will be hard to come to Galveston again without stopping here…read more --- --- --- In general, I find myself to be more disappointed with Bagels than not. So when my wife suggested we make this our final stop before leaving town, I was just kind of along for the ride. It turns out, the ride was amazing. I was visiting NYC a few months earlier and went to a place that was wildly considered to have the best bagels in the city. They were perfectly fine but not really remarkable. But GBC served the kind of bagels we were still thinking about the next day. I think it was the softness that really separated them. Said softness was easier to detect from the snickerdoodle bagels we ordered with strawberry and honey butter cream cheese. Both were no doubt 5-stars. But for my "main course" was the Pelican Island, which was a hodgepodge of deliciousness all crammed betwixt two blueberry bagels. I really enjoyed it, but if I returned for a second visit, I would order something else only because there were like ten other things I wanted to try. By the way, I also enjoyed stealing a few bites of my wife's ham, egg and cheese bagel. Earlier I said "if I returned for a second visit", and I'd like to correct the record. We will 100% be returning for a second visit. We might even go as far as a visit here being an excuse for why we need to come back to Galveston a few months from now.

I placed an online order for pickup, but when I arrived, I was told my order had already been picked up. Since I hadn't requested delivery, that obviously wasn't possible. Thankfully, a very kind employee at the other counter took the time to verify my order and got everything sorted out. What stood out to me was that I wasn't the only customer dealing with this issue. There were several people waiting on orders that had apparently already been picked up. It seems like the pickup process could use some improvements. I think adding clearer signage to direct guests and having one employee dedicated to managing the pickup area and traffic flow would make a huge difference. I also think staff should verify pickup orders with a confirmation code or order number before handing them out. I also paid extra for cold foam on my coffee, but I was simply told they were out. I wasn't offered a refund or a substitute. It's a small detail, but if customers are paying for an add-on, they should either receive it or be given another option. Overall, the bagels are excellent and absolutely the reason I'll come back. The staff was friendly despite how busy they were, but the pickup process and communication around unavailable items could definitely be improved to match the quality of the food.
