I wish I would have taken pictures. I've been here so many times in the last 14 years. The food is too good to stop and snap. The recipes stay the same, delicious and feels like home. My favorite dish is the Crawfish Etouffee. I always get it. Our server was friendly and kind and he has a great smile. I love this place. Never has it failed me. I came in for my birthday today. Because this is what I wanted. I recommend everything. But especially the etouffee.

I have been going to the Gumbo Diner in Galveston for a very long time. It feels like home to me. The food that they serve you feels like they took that extra time just to make it perfect for you. I absolutely love the customer service. Karen is the waitress I ask for many times. I will personally wait in a line if I have to so that I get her. You just don’t find good people that work extra hard to please you such as Karen and the other employees. I highly recommend you try...
