I cannot see how much my family and I absolutely love this place. We are from out of town and we're…read morelooking for a decent (and by decent, I mean edible not hotel) breakfast. We did not know that they made all of their food to order. We waited around 30 minutes to get our food, but well worth it! Please note that there is a sign warning you that because they are a small business, that when they are busy, wait times to get food can't take a while. If you do not feel like waiting and are in a rush, this is not the place for you. Please come back when you have time to enjoy the atmosphere and the amazing food. I was telling one of the servers to please pass along my compliments to the chef and the owners. I was having a rather rough morning on our first visit. The best way I can describe the deliciousness of the food was that I went from being a little bit meh, to a strong to feeling like I was having a warm hug. I ordered the biscuits and gravy my other half ordered the berries and cream cinnamon French toast, and my little ordered the Mickey Mouse pancake with cinnamon. We came back another day and all ordered the same thing again, and it was just as amazing as the first time. The inside of the building is quite rustic. Even though you are waiting a bit for your food, there is so much to look at that time just passes by. Even in the bathroom will keep you occupied, and not just with the normal activities . The staff was amazingly friendly. On the second day, the gentleman server did not know whether the Mickey Mouse pancake should have the cinnamon bun toppings on it (you know,...because kids might start bouncing off of the ceiling), or sprinkles and whipped cream. We requested the latter and he came over and put on a tiny show for my little. The gentleman made a fun little show of putting whipped cream on Mickey and let my little decorate his own pancake. Definitely a 10/10 experience and we will be returning when we are around these parts again.

They were extremely busy with a wait, so it was understandable. If you're looking for a quick breakfast, I'd recommend going on a weekday rather than the weekend. AMBIENCE: Such a cute Southern breakfast café! It was packed when we went, but the space still felt surprisingly open and comfortable considering how many people were there. Overall, it has a really cute, casual breakfast atmosphere.

On the first visit, my dining partner ordered the omelette which looked amazing! You're able to choose your own ingredients. My chicken salad sandwich on a croissant was mediocre. The chicken salad was very boring, and the croissant was not super tasty. The next day the Eggs Benedict I ordered was excellent! The potatoes were cooked pretty well. Service was a bit lacking that day though, and I noticed several flies buzzing about next to us by the window. We didn't have to wait to be seated either day, so that is really nice. They have a separate bakery section with baked goods on display. Honestly, they didn't look super appetizing... oh well.

Located in the heart of The Strand, just blocks away…read morefrom the cruise terminal, it has the charm of an old historic building that has been beautifully rehabilitated--and they did a fantastic job with it. The parking situation can be a little annoying because of the high traffic and the location, but the valet service is a well-oiled machine, so no complaints there. Once you enter the hotel, everyone is ready and willing to help. You're greeted by a gorgeous lobby filled with intricate details and beautiful decorations that make you feel like you've stepped into an exquisite venue. We came for a wedding and stayed for two nights, and overall, it was a very nice experience. Our room was beautifully decorated with a minimalist touch. The high ceilings made the room feel inviting and spacious, and the large windows with shutters were such a beautiful detail. The Sky Bar could have been a little bigger, but it had a quaint, cozy, and friendly atmosphere. My biggest disappointment, however, was that there is **no pool**. I was counting on having one since I was traveling with my daughter. I honestly don't think I've ever stayed at a hotel without a pool, so that was definitely different for me. And knowing the Galveston waters, I decided we would just stay put, relax, and enjoy some downtime in the room. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely come back--especially with a group of adults. If you're traveling with children, just keep in mind that there's no pool or water feature to entertain them.

We stayed for 4 mornings and each morning they woke us up by being incredibly loud. And i'm not talking just the carts moving or speaking softly , i'm talking about loudly speaking to each other down the hallways, singing and laughing loudly, and loud banging. I've stayed in many hotels and have never had less respectful cleaning crew. I never review places, I made a yelp specifically to warn people about this issue, it seriously impacted our vacation. If you would like to sleep past 8:30 pick a different hotel.

My wife chose the place and mentioned grabbing a breakfast burrito. I assumed this meant there would also be breakfast tacos. We arrived, and it turned out, there were no breakfast tacos. Is this the only place in America that serves burritos, but not tacos? What an unexpected twist! But my disappointment didn't last long, as I read the ingredients of the most popular item: the aptly named, Bronco Burrito. It had everything I love for $8, so I was happy to order it. As it turns out, it was close to everything I dreamed of, minus one detail. I felt the potatoes were a bit too prevalent, and each bite was overwhelmingly starchy. I still enjoy it overall, but if I returned, I would order minimal potatoes and extra bacon in its stead. Otherwise, this proved to be a great pre-schlitterbahn carb up spot.

My most recent visit was for lunch with family and this may have been my best visit yet. We split a Margherita Pizza and a Fungi Pizza and I also ordered the Limone Pasta. The pizzas were phenomenal! The crusts were airy and soft with just a hint of crispness. The Margherita was topped with gooey mozzarella, fresh flavorful tomato and aromatic basil. The Fungi was topped with rich creamy gruyere, sweet caramelized onions and juicy rich earthy mushrooms. I dream about these pizzas now. The pasta dish was just as exceptional! Perfectly al dente noodles were mixed with flavorful smoked salmon, juicy peas and a super heavenly creamy lemon dill sauce. Overall, Gonzalo's is the best place to eat in Galveston and a must visit.
