Galloway's Sandwich Shop

I literally ate there every day it was open last week. Often times I got two meals. One for lunch and other for dinner.My favorite meal was their chicken and dressing. Dressing is legit. Greens are good. Like you're at home and can eat a plate of dressing and greens.Service is polite and fast. I love that I get in and out. I can't keep eating here or all the working out won't do me any good.P.S. I think it's time to upgrade the tablecloths.

Amazing, tasty, spicy, with a good dose of great seasonings! Many of my team had the fried catfish I, mash potatoes, catfish patties with cabbage, macaroni $ cheese. You can't go wrong with anything here!

To-Go-Lunch: 2 Fried pork chops flavored and tendered, cabbage sautéed and tasty and fried okra with yummy cornmeal batter with a slice of corn bread. Delicious and large portion with a great price point ($14 including 20% tip)! This black owned business is a local staple for soul food on 12th street. To top it off, I was pleasantly surprised to find a complimentary banana pudding with entree. The owner is a sweet gentleman with genuine spirit that I will continue to support with my $$$$. Strongly recommend this place for lunch.Angelita

After getting my haircut, the plan was to get some BBQ across the street from the barbershop but my barber Ruben told me that it was closed and suggested that I check out Galloway Sandwich Shop. Well this sandwich shop turned out to be an old skool soul food restaurant. When I entered, I noticed a patron eating some nice sized fried catfish that made my mouth begin to water but instead I ordered the Cajun chicken, rice, greens, and some real cornbread. Although I thoroughly enjoyed the savory Cajun Chicken, I wish Steve's hand could have been a little heavier on the portion. Next time, I'll order the catfish. They talked me into ordering the banana pudding which reminded me of my grandmother's banana pudding and again, I should have ordered a double portion. All in all, I was well pleased with Ruben's recommendation and I will be returning for the catfish.

The food was unbelievable. It was so delicious and the portions were huge! This is a family owned place and you could tell there was a lot of TLC poured into the food. We were all watching Jerry Springer while eating and it was hilarious and I'll treasure that memory forever. My only complaint is a small one and that is that there were no posted prices. It was very reasonable but I didn't know until after I had eaten and was ready to pay. Come get some soul food from a true East Austin Staple you won't regret it. Also , I didn't use the restroom so I sadly can't comment on that .

The best Soul food in Austin. My two favorites are the meatloaf on Wednesdays and the fried catfish on Fridays. When you walk in you are immediately met with a greeting and a smile. The place is old Austin and there isn't much of that left.

Talk about southern home cooking! It doesn't get much better than the hands on, kind, customer service that greets you as soon as you walk in the door... but then you taste the food! Cooked with love, you are instantly comforted from the first bite. It feels you are dining with close family and friends when eating with other patrons. Their daily specials give you a plethora of combinations of entrees and sides and the owner/staff take care of you with the portions; I left with a clean plate and a full belly. I will definitely make this a go-to spot when showing friends and family around Austin because THIS is what southern home cooking is all about; love, full bellies, and good times!

Ribs fell off the bone! Catfish is DELICIOUS! I made a yelp just to review! I feel like I'm getting home cooked food and the price ... I would've paid double!!! I'd add a pic but I ate too fast!

Delicious, comforting food. Hit the spot! The chef and employees are very kind, great service. Iced tea is very very sweet and large servings altogether. Beef stroganoff, cheese broccoli and mashed potatoes pictured

Wow old school soul food. Fried pork chops were awesome. The mashed potatoes were smothered in chicken gravy I will be back for sure.
