Editorial Review for The Diner – by 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 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!

Good food, good friends, lots of coffee, get to know everyone from waitstaff to cooks to owners. Specials for lunch every day are terrific. Open menu lets you have lunch for breakfast or breakfast for lunch. Once you try it you will come back.
