The atmosphere was fun. Our server was pretty good for how busy they were. I ordered the catfish dinner and hubby ordered the plate that had a little of everything. For the most part, the food was good. The catfish was good, but a little bland. You couldn't eat the fries that came with it unless you like drinking grease, but overall I think the fish made up for it. The Hubs said his was good the étouffée was really great, but the gumbo was not. You would think a place with gumbo in the name would be better. Overall, I would eat here again and enjoy it. You can't have things perfect every single time.

We were in Galveston for one night pre-cruise. My SIL was craving shrimp & grits. A Yelp search lead us to the Gumbo Diner. The menu offers lots of fried, blackened, and baked options as well as the shrimp and grits. Our table of five had shrimp and grits, a fried fish platter, a fried seafood platter, onion rings, and jacked up jalapeños.Everything was hot, fresh, and very tasty. Our server was very attentive.If your are looking for fancy, this is not your place. However if you want great food at a very reasonable price, the Gumbo Diner is your place!

So to date within the last 2 months I have been here twice, came upon on it for a "quick" lunch and it was quick, very very tasty, good seasoning. Staff have been there for some time, and know recommendations and good offering if you tell them what you're looking for. When I'm down on the island and looking for a Cajun flavor definitely will try this place more often now. So many things to explore on their menu can't wait, w/o gaining 100lbs ;)Enjoy!

We had a party of 7 people yesterday. The fried seafood platter was fried nicely. The oysters weren't overcooked.The etouffe was pretty good. Not super flavorful but nice flavor.3 of us got the bourbon street platter and we all thought that a lot of the things were overwhelmingly salty. The green beans were sooo salty. The gumbo was salty too. The jambalaya was fine. The bacon wrapped shrimp were good. My mom got the chicken fried steak and it was a bit tough. Not our favorite.Our server was also not very friendly. He seemed annoyed. We would ask for things and then he'd have kind of rude responses. He kind of threw down the straws for us which we thought was strange. He seemed especially rude to my mom for some reason. Most likely won't be back based on the service.

We stopped here after a day at the beach after searching for a casual place. It's right across just about from pleasure pier and it's kind of small but it is a diner so that's expected. We ordered the lil daddy gumbo which was huge and coming from a New Orleanian, was tasty with a rich dark brown roux. We also ordered the half and half shrimp/oyster po boy which came dressed with cabbage, spicy mayo and pickles. It was a good size and the seafood tasted fresh. I ordered a Mac and cheese which was good, and my hubby got a Greek salad with blackened shrimp--it was fresh and delicious. We finished with an order of beignets which weren't exactly Nola style but we still gobbled them down.The service was great; our server Brandon was friendly, helpful and funny.

This was the first time my partner had Gumbo in his life, and though it was tasty, it was a little bit on the salty side, so we were not really able to finish it. The greek salad was good, and so was the platter (though the gumbo in the platter was even more salty than the Main course one). My favorite taste was the crawfish etoufee, which was absolutely brilliant and will go back just to get that! Service here is fantastic! They kept checking on us a d refilling our coffees. The place is on the small side, so a few people were waiting outside by the time we had finished.

If you're looking for a hidden gem, this little hole-in-the-wall is a must-visit! We stopped in because my dad was craving gumbo, and it did not disappoint. My mom and I shared a breakfast dish, and the portion sizes were more than generous. The wait for a table was a bit long, but totally worth it once we dug into the delicious food. The service was fantastic, and the cozy vibe made it all the more enjoyable. So glad we decided to stop by! Highly recommend!

The staff was pleasant and courteous. The Resturant appeared clean and today. Our orders came out fairly quickly and certainly hot and freshly prepared. One of our members ordered the blackened fish. It was not desirable. It was exceedingly to salty. He had to scrape off the extraordinary amount of seasoning in order to try to consume it. Somebody please tell the kitchen. I've had breakfast here before with no issues.
