"Everywhere on the island, someone is claiming to have the best seafood gumbo. It’s up to you whether or not to believe them, but the Gumbo Diner is the perfect place to kick off that quest. If gumbo isn’t your thing, the Gumbo Diner also has seafood platters and po’ boys, as well as an all-day breakfast." - Lane Gillespie, Brittany Britto Garley

Me and my son are here now and the service was great and the food is awesome! Daniel made our chocolate chip pancakes! He was the best and so kind. The wait wasn’t long and the food was HOT!

Lisa was so amazing and attentive! Very lovely, sweet and funny. She made me and my friends feel very comfortable as it was our first time eating here and made wonderful recommendations. Lisa your attitude alone is so outstanding. The experience of her being our server made we want to come back off that. Though i will say the food was very delicious and reasonably priced. 10/10 would come back and the beignets were delicious!

Hmmm... very disappointed. We came here due to the raving reviews. But it's a meh!!! Not worth it! The gumbo roux is burnt. And their etouffee, hmmm... I don't even know what to say. They do not taste like etouffee nor gumbo, but they are salty though. We are from Lafayette, Louisiana and wanted to see if this place is up to far. Beignets are good though, since they serve it fresh. I give them that.

Delicious Shrimp Po-Boy and Gumbo. The sandwich was so overstuffed with shrimp that I had to remove half the shrimp to even try to close it. Great food is not cheap! If you want cheap, eat at the gas station.

The Gumbo Diner is one of those spots that makes you feel like you’re eating at a friend’s house—if your friend could whip up amazing Cajun food and Southern comfort classics. It’s locally owned, and you can tell. Everyone’s super friendly, and you’re treated like family from the moment you walk in. The gumbo? Packed with flavor.l✨ The chicken & waffles? Crispy, savory perfection. And don’t even think about leaving without trying the beignets—seriously, they’re worth the mess. Whether you’re craving breakfast, lunch, or a late-night bite, this place hits the spot every time. Cozy vibes, good people, great food. ❤️

Absolutely FABULOUS! The food arrived piping hot! I cannot remember the last time I saw steam rising up from my omelette! I ordered two cheese and spinach omelette and it was absolutely delicious. I requested grilled onions on my hash browns and I'm here to tell you the smell was heavenly! Truly the food here is next level! Great service, and very clean! Highly recommend.

We have been trying so hard to find and get a real Diner experience in Galveston over the years, and we finally hit the jackpot! The food was everything you could imagine, you can't beat all day breakfast options, and our server Yvonne was awesome. We will be back in a few days!

I had the combo breakfast with the pancakes. If you like real thick pancakes, this is the place. For me they were to thick and dry. Make next time I'll have lunch and try the gumbo
