Jerk chicken Sam
Kelly O.

They get super busy at lunch time! A good sign, of course. I got the jerk chicken sandwich. I was expecting chicken breast, but it was deli style meat. I was most looking forward to the jalapeno cheddar bun. I'm Not sure if they were out of these buns or they were very mild in flavor. I couldn't taste either the jalapeños or the cheddar. Regardless, of these minor things, my sandwich was really good. It had a lot of flavor. It was warm, the bun was nice and toasted, and the cheese was melted over everything. Yum. They are a bit pricey, maybe that's the going price for the area? At least it was a decent portion with a lot of meat. When in town, I wouldn't mind eating another one of their sandwiches.

Build your own turkey sandwich
Kasey Y.

Made a day trip down to Galveston and stopped by Old Moon Deli to grab some sandwiches for a beach picnic--definitely the right move! We got two build-your-own turkey sandwiches and both were a hit. Super fresh ingredients, great portion sizes, and packed perfectly to take on the go. The inside of the deli is a fun little spot with a unique vibe and plenty of seating. The staff was friendly and helpful, making the whole experience easy and enjoyable. If you're planning a picnic on the beach or just want a solid deli sandwich in Galveston, this place is a must. Already looking forward to coming back!

Custom Chicken salad salad with spinach, tomatoes and cucumbers
Lisa V.

Funky, locally owned and staffed offering sandwiches, salads and more. We've mainly stuck to the custom made sandwiches where you can pretty much build your own sandwich but this time I got the chicken salad salad. Huge portion for $12 that I made into two meals! Thanks Benji & everyone else! Plenty of seating, including upstairs and if you want a wine with your meal, it's available next door at Proletariat.

Hot pastrami
Justin P.

Hidden gem with amazing food. Sandwiches are huge and can be shared, I now know better for next time. Local kombucha is on tap and you can take home if you wish. Old school deli vide with great service and even better food. Definitely don't miss out on this amazing opportunity if you get the chance.

Inside

Always on the lookout for a local spot to grab a sandwich for lunch. Found this gem knowing we would be in Galveston. It's small, but they pack a lot into their panini sandwiches. I went up to the counter to order and changed my mind when I saw the special. I am a sucker for Italians, but then when I saw muffuletta, olives are my love language. Sandwich was good. The only complaint I had was the middle was cold on both halves. I opted for chips as my side, I am basic like that. I would go back and try it again for sure. It's a cute little deli.

Island time
Courtney Ann R.

Finally got a chance to come back to Old Moon Deli, and I was not disappointed! This sandwich was everything I dreamed of and more. I'm pretty sure the bread is cooked in house.. it's very fresh and perfectly toasted. I loved the combination of fresh ingredients on the Island Time sandwich. The staff was very sweet and kept the restaurant very clean. Absolutely amazing highly recommend and I will be back!!

Gluten free bread. Vegan cheese/mayo. Turkey, ham, bacon, avocado
Lisa M.

Gluten free bread option. Vegan cheese and mayo option! They have a little paper where you can build your own sandwich. By the time I built my sandwich with substitutions and add ons, it ended up being $20 but the portion is GENEROUS. They really give you a lot of meat. I actually ate half and saved the other half for the next day. Great flavor!

Hot Pastrami

Came in for a quick lunch sammy.. and I'm glad I found this place on the Island!! First time here and went with the Hot Pastrami and this sandwich is fire!! Stay tuned.. I will be back!!

The door.

I love this place! I was at a stop light in Galveston about two weeks ago, and I saw a sticker that reads "Old Moon Deli" on an electrical panel box. Made me curious if it was a restaurant on the island. I googled and sure enough two weeks later I went. My parents, my wife, and myself all enjoyed it. I had a Reuben sandwich. They make a very good Reuben. I wish I got pics of the food but I didn't this time. I hope this restaurant lasts a long time, the island hasn't had a nice little family owned deli restaurant like this in years. I also like the cat pics on the walls and the old school country music playing. I plan to go back.

Waited over 45 minutes for two sandwiches on 1pm on Saturday. It wasn't even busy. 3 people working I have no idea why it took that long.

Good sandwich shop in downtown Galveston. Outside can look a little sketchy but the sandwiches were packed with meat and made fresh for us.

This is a pretty eclectic place that fits in well here in Galveston. During Spring Break, they…read morewere a little busier during the weekday than normal. Lots of good options on the menu, and I was craving their famous cinnamon roll pancakes, but then a server brought out migas to a table and I immediately knew I wanted that instead. Here, it's a little opposite from most places, you gotta pick your seat first then order as the seats, especially the tables, are hard to come by at times. There are plenty stools along the window but the tables are better and most tables are family style so you'll likely be meeting someone new. I also added a chocolate bread pudding for myself which looked really good. The rest of my group ordered the granny's breakfast with sausage, 2 scrambled eggs and Benny's tostadas. The food comes out surprisingly quick for as busy as they are. Everything was so delicious! I ate a little of the bread pudding at the restaurant, then eventually ate the rest over the course of the next few hours. Yum! This restaurant is highly recommended!

I saw this place from a Galveston influencer. He really hyped this place up. I see nothing but…read moregood reviews so It pains me to say this but this was the worst meal my wife and I ever had. People rave about the service. The service is fine. You order at the counter and get your own silverware and drinks. The food is another story. I had the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and corn. Mash was fine. Corn was whatever. From can to plate. Nothing added. The CFS was atrocious. It was like breaded & over salted shoe leather. See the pictures. I couldn't eat all of it. The best thing on the plate was the toast. Oh, and they charge $19 for it. Whether frozen or homemade, which I doubt, to deliberately serve this to a customer, shame on you. My wife got the BLT. $13.50 for bread and lettuce with a little bacon. No mayo or mustard. Plain and bland. We realized later that you have to procure your own condiments, I think. Still, it was not good. The fries were undercooked and tasted baked. Sorry, but I feal betrayed by social media and what must be friendly reviews. This review is honest. The place is cool and I had high hopes but was sorely disappointed. Oh, I had a piece of cherry cheesecake. It was good.

Wow. Glad we checked this out while in the r Galleria area. We saw this restaurant on TV as a top…read morerated NY deli. Lots of seating, great wait staff, and the sandwiches are gigantic--as they should be for the price. $30 for a sandwich on average. We split an open face pastrami (which they brought an extra plate) and we are glad we did. The potato salad is tiny. Too much sandwich for one but not enough potato salad for two! The pickles they provide before your sandwich arrives are yummy- not like a traditional out of the bar pickle. These are what I remember from NYC. Garlic and not sweet. We also had the apple pie alamode. Also pricey and gigantic. It was warm and delicious. Glad we tried this icon. We went at lunch and they get quite the crowd. You are not rushed at all. You can even take some bakery items to go--if you are too full to eat there. Amazing selection of cookies, rugala, black and white cookies and more.
