Hands down, the best restaurant in Galveston . If you're with a large group, call ahead for a reservation so you're guaranteed a table to sit at after you order. Breakfast , lunch , + dinner all amazing!

Evets Xela

BBQ pulled pork , slaw with pecan apple slides were very good. Definitely a nice restaurant for a lunch in Galveston TX. Staff was helpful. Pick up a menu and order before sitting down.

Megan Ramey

It's a Hidden Gem & Dog friendly on the patio . I got the warm goat cheese salad and also the pumpkin soup . The filet mignon tacos are amazing. Beer on tap & great coffee .

Joel Luks

Dessert shouldn't be an optional course here. Local favs are the lemonade dream cake (enough for 2), lemon bars , peach cobbler and cookies . Dogs are welcome in the patio , too.

Rachel Baldock

The specials are awesome! The quesadilla , turkey sandwich , and Caesar salad are all great choices. Also the desserts come from Patty Cakes which means you have to get something!!

Myra Fearn

The shrimp taco is excellent! Plump and flavorful. You can't go wrong with any if the fresh sides, either. I can easily see why it's an island favorite!

Melissa Thames

All the food is super fresh and scratch made. I had the breakfast bowl and I was light, fresh but hearty. I will be back.

Rene Hart

The food was incredible...great fresh food and awesome combinations. Any of the salads would be the perfect choice. Pulled pork was great

Gulfscapes

Great omelets and sandwiches . Fresh seafood , too. Just opened a bakery next door called PattyCakes. Had great 1/2 price beer and wine on certain nights. Locally owned - lots of family history.

Laura

Definitely recommend the green chile burger . They're burger buns are made from the bakery across the street, which I thought was great!

Heath Haynes

You can't go wrong here. Breakfast , lunch , or dinner are all great. Don't forget to check out Patty Cakes Bakery next door.

Liz Torres

Usually can't complain, love this place but ask for dressing on the side! Forgot to today & salad was drenched in dressing & made the lettuce very wilted. Fried goat cheese was also a little soggy.

Frank

Super BBQ Pulled Pork und Tuna Sandwich . And a famous tripple chokolade cake .

Jim Cordell

The menu offers something for everyone, from soups and simple salads , through more complex and pricey dishes. Atmosphere is casual and friendly .

The Island Slammer with macaroni potato salad was delicious. A bit pricy but this place is great.

Mike M

Best breakfast on the island , all the pastries are made in house. Highly Recommend

Wow. Eggs benedict huge delicious rich, breakfast for two. Excellent, well prepared food, nice interior, perfect breakfast spot . Coffee above average, but nothing special

Hank Lawence

Great homemade food ! Recommend for travelers!

Great restaurant offering casual atmosphere , good service & great food. Leave room for dessert b/c they have a wonderful selection. The lemonade cake is delicious.

Cristina Rojas

Brunch is amazing, as is everything else on the menu!! Try the meatloaf for example

NICK SAUM

Almost Ruben sandwich with macaroni potato salad . $10. Very good but not really worth the price in terms of what you get (size etc)

David Blankenship

Great food, great service, Marci is one of the best servers around.

Kevin N.

Looks really popular, they have a pitcher of water outside the front door for the line that wraps onto the sidewalk.

Eric Hinman

Get the breakfast bowl - amazing!

Mary Horsch Tritsch

Great food and atmosphere. Casual dining with a homey feel.

Lylac Hell

It's good! But, they do have an odd policy of requiring an 18% tip for parties larger than 5. Not unheard of but this is not a sit down restaurant !! Wait in line . Walk up. That makes it an odd policy.

Lexi Soffer

Try the Napa Salad and Lemonade Dream Cake ! They're Amaze Balls!!!

Nick Blish

Nice cafe for lunch ! St. Arnold's Lawn Mower on tap is good.... Pulled Pork tacos were good! Friendly staff !

Mindy Nghiem

Try the Bacon , Green Onion , Potato , And Cheddar Scone - (via @Foodspotting)

Breanne S

The salad with goat cheese , sun dried tomatoes , and figs was amazing! I want to eat it every day.

Rachael Gass

Best.Food.Ever. Be sure to get dessert ! The owners are bakers and are actually opening up a Bakery across the street! Ask for the Rennicks and tell them that I sent you! :) Read more

Mosquito is one of the top 5 restaurants in Galveston ! Everything on the menu is excellent.

The burgers are delish, the salads are divine and they offer vegetarian food too!

Be prepared to box your meal, but don't miss the Warm Goat Cheese Salad with figs and pine nuts , nor the Lemonade Cake .

Amanda Tyner

Great salmon and apple walnut salad for those paleo eaters!

Dustin

Shrimp taco and bacon burger was excellent.

Stephanie S

The pancakes are delicious! Dogs are welcome on the patio .

Michael Earthman

Try their tri-cheese Mac'n'cheese!

Michael Anderson

Nice local beers on tap

NICK SAUM

Food is good but I always leave hungry. Portion sizes are a bit on the small size while prices are a bit higher than you would expect for what you get.

Jerry Scott

Breakfast bowl

Haloise Redding

Turkey Divinity sandwich ...yum!
