What People Are Saying About The Diner

The Editor

Joshua Hinsdale

In Short – Big appetites are no problem at The Diner, one of Galveston's friendliest and most popular spots for breakfast and lunch. With whimsical decor that helps ease diners awake as much as the coffee does, this Island favorite serves up delightfully large portions of such home-cooked standbys as biscuits and gravy, chicken-fried steak, fried shrimp, burgers and waffles. A series of blue plate specials means there's always something new, which keeps the regulars happy.

We cant come back

by dinergirl77551 at Citysearch

Hello all I am the grand-daughter / daughter of the owners. I had to run the place until the end when we were faced with Ike. It is terrible and quite frustrating that we wont be coming back as we so miss all of our friends and family we have known to love . As with many others we never expected Ike to come like it did so we were in a sense "unprepared" and could not believe the devastation. I saw first hand of the damaged left behind and wanted to crawl in a corner and cry. The saying is so true I put my blood,sweat,and tears into this place and it was almost like my baby and now everything you worked so hard for is gone. I was never a morning person and always had to wake up at 4am (mostly running late :) just to get there and find myself for the longest waking up at 4 now thinking two things 1. oh now i get it up in time 2.I would be driving to work right now. This has taken its toll on our family and we will miss all of our new found family members terribly . If you would like to write a review and leave your email we would love to here from you! As for the comment left by a dissatisfied customer,Sorry we cant win them all.

  • Pros:  Friendliest little place
  • Cons: Sad we wont return

We ate at The Diner last Sunday (9/7/08) I don't know if it is still there or not. It is sad to see such a beautiful city turned upside down....but Galveston will return!
