I can’t say enough good things, every experience I’ve had here has been great. I’m gluten free and visit family in Galveston a couple of times a year but just found this place. Everyone has been so helpful when I’ve had questions. I’ve tried the gluten free pop tart, gluten free cinnamon roll, gluten free key lime pie, and gluten free vegan meatball pocket and gf v curry pocket and it’s all been soooooo delicious. It’s all so flaky and moist and some of the best gf pastries I’ve ever had. Their matcha is fine, kind of bland and too sweet but their iced tea is tasty especially when paired with a nice sweet treat.
Cannot recommend this place enough and I’m so glad it exists!
My husband and I are from Houston and visit Galveston often, but this spot is officially going on our must-visit list every time we’re in town.
From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, cozy, and inviting. The restaurant was packed, but we were seated quickly by the sweetest staff member, Sherry, who made us feel genuinely welcome. Our server, Blanca, was an absolute gem—kind, attentive, and quick to bring me a full gluten-free menu the moment I mentioned my food allergies (gluten and dairy). I had called ahead to ask if I could bring my own dairy-free alternatives, and the staff was incredibly accommodating. And the best surprise? They have gluten-free bread! For anyone with celiac or dietary restrictions, you know how exciting that is.
The food was absolutely phenomenal. Every bite was flavorful and clearly made with care. On top of that, every staff member we interacted with was so friendly and quick to strike up a conversation. We never once felt like we were just another table to turn over—there was so much heart in the service and it truly made the experience stand out.
We left full, happy, and already looking forward to our next visit. Can’t recommend this place enough!
Mario’s Seawall has a great atmosphere and delicious food, but unfortunately, my experience as a celiac girlie wasn’t the best. While they do offer gluten-free options, I ended up getting glutened, which was really disappointing. The flavors were amazing, and I wish I could confidently return, but if you have celiac or a severe gluten intolerance, I’d recommend being extra cautious and double-checking with the staff.

I ordered the shrimp burger and it was fabulous. My sister who is celiac and allergic to fish was with me. She ordered a simple burger patty, but as they make sure the grill was clean. They must’ve done just that because she enjoyed every bite and had no flareups. Really enjoyed this restaurant and we’ll go back to try something new next time.
Took FOREVER. We got the wrong pizza & had to figure out ourselves whose it actually was. The pizza was so burnt & dry. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone. The gluten-free pizza was good but the other pizza took another 50 mins to come out so my family couldn’t eat together. My mom had to go ask about our pizza and then they finally brought it out.
Super cute atmosphere, a few allergies in the party and chef alberto came out to the table to help and made the BEST food-steak was so good and the redfish tacos were out of this world!!!!!!!!! I'm celiac and it was totally safe for gluten free :) also the cheddar grits were fab
Super friendly, cute hole in the wall place. If you love Greek food, this is the place! Adam was our server, he was extremely accommodating and attentive. He recommended mostly what we got 😅
This place is great for family’s! Calamari and crab cakes were yummy! Lamb chops were delicious, kids loved the pizzas, gyro platter and gyro pita was perfect👌🏼 platter had SO much food on it. The rice was a fav.
The meat lover pizza was perfectly made with gyro, mozzarella, feta, marinara, tomato, red onions 🤤
He talked us into the chocolate cake and OMGGGGGG 🤌🏼💋
Definitely check it out if your into little locally owned places! Gluten free options too!
Gaidos is a standard in Galveston and it's clear why! The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. They assisted with any questions I had regarding gluten free items on the menu and were able to make great recommendations. Our appetizer and dessert were amazing, I'm still dreaming about the soup of the day made by the chef! I was a bit disappointed for my entree as the sides and the meat used the same seasoning so the dish lacked depth, but everything else was amazing. The gift shop inside is also very cute.
Food was delicious! They offer gluten free pasta, buns and pizza crust. I have celiac and they made sure to take the extra precautions so the food was safe for me to eat. Great flavor. Crème brûlée was so so good! Our waitress was very friendly and sweet.
A cozy restaurant for cozy food! They had all gluten free options marked on their menu. I ordered the catfish tacos and they hit just the spot! I definitely recommend this place for a reasonably priced, tasty meal.
For being celiac they went above and beyond--from the server to the owner. Nathan our server knew the menu so well and directed me with the gluten free options that would be safe. Nathan made our experience amazing. The owner was also so friendly and welcoming. Since it was our wedding night the owner and Nathan made it very special for us and we couldn't have picked a better place to enjoy our evening. Hands down one of the best places I've ever been. I will definitely be coming back here!
Really delicious! Every family member was happy with their choice. The yogurt bowl with fruit and granola was particularly attractive and yummy. Pastry on my ham quiche was flaky and not tough as some can be. I only wish they had a couple gluten-free options, such as muffins, pancakes, etc. We sat on the patio on a comfortable spring morning, and we highly recommend this place.
$7 will get you a huge breakfast burrito with your choice of filling, on homemade tortillas. This the only place I've ever eaten that will make a burrito on corn tortillas. Very helpful if you're #glutensensitive.
The service was friendly and helpful. I love supporting small businesses and it's even better when the food is great!
Spike is an amazing owner. The tamarind margarita is the best margarita I have ever had.
He was also very accommodating to a gluten free diet. Will definitely be the spot to come when we come to Galveston.
This is a great spot to cool off and have a great meal. Chef Eric is one of Galveston' best! The burgers are excellent, and they gladly accommodate with gluten free options. Pricey? Yup. Spend the money. You only live once.
I liked the atmosphere of being at someone's house, especially with the relaxed way of ordering and sitting yourself, but the food was just okay. There were not very many gluten free options.
Super fun and funky restaurant here in Galveston. Everything we ordered for our family was delicious and reasonably priced.
Side note: Someone in our party has Celiac disease and the staff was super helpful in advising what would and would not be safe to eat, along with accommodations for them.
We will definitely visit anytime we’re on the island
Celiac friendly
