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. read more

We came during restaurant week for dinner. Decor is eclectic with a Mardi Gras theme. You order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. It's a decent sized restaurant and there is plenty of seating. I ordered the grilled catfish with vegetables (pic attached) from the "Restaurant Weeks" menu. It was decent and I got a pretty good amount. I want to come back and try their breakfast. read more

I guess every restaurant has a off night and tonight was that night I think it's better during the week when the owners there first of all the burger I order was the American classic onion rings. The burger was super undercooked. It was so soggy and it just didn't taste good at all and the onion rings weren't even cooked and soggy wet with grease so today gypsy joint gets a one star. I'll be back during the week and I'm gonna talk to the owner like I said today was a bad day for gypsy joint did not for the $20 burger in my money read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Food quality has hit rock bottom. Ordered burgers with fries & onion rings and the fries & rings were barely warm. They replaced the onion rings and forgot about the fries. The burgers bun are about 4 times bigger than needed for that scrawny patty of meat! I'm done... read more

I'm so surprised that the fact that Galveston has vegan options in their local restaurants. That is very rare is what I found in other places that I've visited that was considered a traditional area for families. I'm with very thrilled to find out that Gypsy joint have vegan food. For the burger I opted for the lentil patty and it was well seasoned it was not crumbly and it definitely stayed together at that ate it. I've never been to a burger joint that actually has sweet potato tots. So the sweet potato tots were very delicious because they were a bite size of sweetness each time I ate into one. The bread that was paired with the lentil burger with slightly sweet not bitter soft and delicious I just wanted to eat more and more of that. And I was really surprised to find out the prices wasn't overly expensive like most of the island. The service was pretty nice considering the cashier was very personable she gave good recommendations. I absolutely loved the ambience as it was eclectic impaired well with the decorations of the restaurant. I actually want to return three or four times just to check it out a lot more they even had infused water which most places don't even do I've only been to one other hotel that had infused water and that was in Dallas. Very tasty and did not disappoint! I suggested this restaurant to another vegan and told them to check it out! read more

I was working on a job In Galveston and the superintendent recommended me the Gypsy joint. The restaurant was next door from where I was working at so I decided to go for lunch . Just walking in is pretty cool seeing all the decor on the walls. I ordered the Al Capone sandwich with an order of onion rings . The sandwich was huge and delicious till the last bite . So flavorful and the onion rings were also very good and nicely battered. The bread that was used on the sandwich was amazing. If you're in the area check this place out .

This is a must stop if you are in Galveston! It is a rare place that makes everything from scratch. Literally everything including the salad dressings. I always make sure to get a salad with whatever I'm ordering just so I can get the pear dressing they make. The menu is fairly large and every single item is something that you want to try. I have not had a pizza yet, but that's on my list. I've had a burger and a Poboy and highly recommend them. Nice casual service. read more

I got the goat toast - berries goat cheese prosciutto with hot honey - came on two huge slices of toast. SO DELICIOUS OMG! I could only eat one slice cause I also had a scramble egg and cheddar biscuit. Biscuit was home made and so tasty. Hubs got the hula sandwich - had pineapple jalapeno onion and Sunnyside up egg. He LOVED it - except the big slices of raw onion that he removed easily. He also had sausage and gravy biscuit that was devine. We also had a slice of their banana bread. Needless to say we had leftovers to take. Decor was cool but uh maybe dusty? Imagine it's hard to maintain. Staff was great. We will return when we're visiting the island! read more

I had the grilled caprese sandwich. Absolutely divine...homemade bread, homemade pesto, fresh avocado, gooey mozzarella and the thickest crispy bacon ever. My husband had a breakfast plate with delicious eggs, potatoes, that stupid good bacon and the best pancake ever. Also bought the famous cinnamon roll to go. Y'all...get that cinnamon roll....omg read more

Holy Toledo, this place is everything I want in a restaurant in more. The atmosphere is 10/10 but even better is the food! We spent probably 20 minutes studying the menu only to discover that you can order anything and it'll all be delicious. We opted for a sausage biscuit, breakfast potatoes, kids cheeseburger with fries, cheesy bread, breakfast bowl #4 (potatoes, bacon, cheese, egg & sausage gravy). Loved every bite! We also tried the mocha chocolate cake and WOW was it incredible. Very much looking forward to visiting next time we're in town - striving to make our way through the entire menu! Honorable mention for the 'order at the counter' system. This place is the ultimate chill in the best way. read more
