    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.

    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.

    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!!

    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

    The cutest best fun restaurant in Galveston nice break from fried seafood on the seawall the menu here is huge and everything sounds good

    Very cool aesthetic

    Amazing atmosphere, very friendly staff, the food is fantastic! We are in town for a cruise but will have to make it here every trip so I can try the whole menu!

    Breakfast sandwich..... huge!

    OMG! I'm in love with the eclectic atmosphere of Gypsy Joynt. There is something new to see everywhere you look. You order at the counter and your food is brought to your table. Everything was wonderful from the staff to the food. Definitely worth a stop in sometime!

The wait staff was super friendly, and very attentive. I liked the fact that there were appetizer options that you could as a half order, as many times the appetizers are so large that once you're finished, you have no room for your meal. We decided on a half order of the hush puppies. They came out hot, crispy, and so delicious! For our meals, I got the fried shrimp, and my boyfriend got the fish and chips. Both of us enjoyed our meals, but I have to give a special shout out to my side of mac & cheese. This can be iffy at most restaurants, as you never know if it's going to be dry from being under a warming oven in the kitchen. This was probably the best side of mac & cheese I've ever gotten in any restaurant! It was moist and delicious!! The parking lot at Miller's isn't large, but we were lucky to get a spot. It is also well located on the seawall, so it is only a short walk to other shops and attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed our birthday celebration at Miiller's!

The food was extremely bland. Nothing we ordered had seasoning or any flavor. Husband and I had the lump crab Benedict with scalloped potatoes, which turned out to be large chunks of potato with melted cheese on top and mushy cakes with no seasoning. The Gouda grits were just plain grits with a slice of cheese laid on top--very underwhelming. The house-made sangria was subpar, though I did enjoy the fruit chunks. The restaurant itself is cute, but it's very small with limited seating. Overall, the experience did not match the price, and we left very disappointed.

When we walked through the doors, we were shocked how large a space it was, but it is very open, bright, and inviting. We were seated in one of the semi circular booths, which was enjoyable. We ended up deciding to order a variety of appetizers, so that we would have room for dessert. We had no idea that even appetizer portions were huge! We ordered chicken wings, onion rings, and a garlic shrimp appetizer. We were not enthralled with the garlic shrimp appetizer, the garlic was so overwhelming that it made it hard to enjoy the dish. The onion rings were huge, and there was an enormous amount of them. We could barely make a dent in that appetizer. The real star was the chicken wings. They were extremely well done, and the Thai chili sauce topping was excellent. Despite being overwhelmingly full, we decided to go forward with splitting the crustless pecan pie dessert. It comes out warmed, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was chuck full of pecans, and was absolutely excellent. The ice cream was a delicious counterpart to the pie. Our server was super friendly, and we enjoyed our experience at Nick's immensely. We would highly recommend!
