This is probably our 7th time here since it opened. The food had been good every single time. We have started coming here at least 1 time a week. We have tried several items on the menu and all were good though the hamburger stands out as the best in town. read more

Food was cold and service was not great- ordered a Corona and did not drink it - it was skunked- added 20% tip for 8 people - not worth it at all. Will not return read more

Jon, Courtney and staff are absolutely awesome. The vibe is fantastic and the food is even better. I will definitely be going back!

My new go to place for lunch or dinner. Service is improving. Food is good especially the Orange Chicken plate and the tacos. It will be really busy once the weather permits. I bought a Bocce Ball set because there is a bocce ball pit outside the sitting area. A welcome choice from Boomer Jacks which has never figured out customer service. It will take more than $2 beer to ever go back to Boomer Jacks. read more

This new bar is actually real nice. Pros: Beer is priced well, Glasses are always frozen. Pool table is only a $1 a game, and the best part is the bar top is granet stone with an underlight. Very cool and unique. Cons: The Quesadillas are not too good. But they make up for the quesadillas with good pizza and enchiladas. Get the enchiladas with rice and beans. The beans are kind of a Brazilian style. Reminds me of Lil Brazil restaurant in Miami. Just with a Texas hint. read more

Great service & Great atmosphere! Good place to watch sports too. Oh & the food is phenomenal, especially the sour cream chicken nachos! Yum

The place is super small and cramped. Definitely not somewhere to go with a family. The food was amazing and the drinks were awful. The team is still new so I don't blame them for not knowing much. They really should laminate their menus because they hand you a paper menu and they are DISGUSTING covered in food and germs read more

Great new location with nice atmosphere and staff. Awesome service and the best "Sammich" I ever had!! Will. read more

Cafe Gecko Fairview - New location in Fairview, come check it out! - American Near Me - Fairview, Texas

I would give no stars if I could. Service was awful. Food was awful. Nachos disgusting. Watery and soggy. Sent them back. Zero service. Zero silverware. Random patrons all walking back in the kitchen. No manager. This place is a huge disappointment. Will never return. A waitress literally stated, " we are so swamped we let regulars go in the back and help us." There was nobody in there! read more

Alexia was my bartender. She always remembers my drink and makes me feel special (because I am) - she's extremely attentive and caring. I love visiting her! read more

Really nice outdoor space. The food was average, but prices were reasonable. I'd definitely go back just for a place to sit outside for a drink. read more

We arrived and it was seat yourself . We sat outside and the waiters took a few minutes. We ordered food and Lauren was not knowledgeable about the menu and told us the wrong ingredients. Wrong ingredients for the quesadilla (said it was only cheese and chicken....it was not) and seafood nachos which included scallops and not lobster like Lauren said...we found out we ate scallops at the end of the meal. Lauren was not technically our waiter, Jessica was. We also saw Lauren who is 19 take shots with customers. We also watched Jessica taking shots with customers instead of checking on us. Lauren put in my order and forgot part of it. They did not provide water when they came to as for our order. The cussing and profanity while speaking to us was unnecessary as well. The manager never came either. read more

Waitresses are badass and the food is awesome. You can't go wrong. They have it all from chicken, mushrooms quesadillas, brunch, seafood soup (yummm) pizza, wings etc. everything good. Great patio and cocktails. Oh and um let's not forget my favorite seafood and chicken sour cream nachos! You won't regret read more

I've been a longtime Gecko fan for past 10 years! I frequent the Addison and Plano locations... was SUPER excited for this location to open up since it's by my house... and it definitely did not disappoint! Got the sour cream chicken nachos (my absolute favorite) and they were perfect as always! Was out on the patio today and enjoyed the great weather! My waitress was on point with my service today and recommended me the "Lizarita" margarita, which was top notch! Will definitely be back! Can't wait to have more patio days here and for all of the concerts to start up this spring! Definitely a "must go" place! read more

Very pleasant outdoor dining. Good music. Attentive and friendly staff. Stuffed jalapeños are delicious, as are shrimp nachos. Steak & cheese sandwich is delicious. Docked 1/2-star for waffle fries being a bit over-fried & oily. But, otherwise, an excellent restaurant. read more

A great find. We eat out for lunch almost every day. It was our first time at Gecko but will not be our last. The patio dining was perfect. Lots of umbrella shade on a warm sunny day. Our menu choices were excellent and the service was top notch. Looking forward to next time! read more

First time in this cute and quaint establishment and I must say the food and service we're BOTH phenomenal!! The country music tunes filling the atmosphere only created a richer ambience. This definitely will not be our last time dining here!! read more

I use to love this place the food is typically good! Lately gone wayyyy down hill. My family tried to give this place multiple chances but every time I drag them here or they try and give it one more shot the service sucks! Tonight we were trying to have a few drinks for my and my brother birthday. We sat there for a good 10-15 minutes made eye contact with two of the girls that were working not one of them came over and asked if we wanted anything. I ended up walking over to Gloria's and asking for a table we got sat right away. Needless to say this place lost customers who were here the day the opened but loyalty means nothing to this place. There is another location in plano girls there are much better and attentive just a fyi read more

Wife and I tried carry out while watching entertainment sponsored by Cafe Gecko at Fairview TownCenter Friday evening May 7. Cafe was very busy. My order of Santiago Beef Fajitas was very disappointing. No Tortillas, guacamole,sour cream. Meat had no flavor and seemed water logged. It came with rice, side of beans and Pico De Gallo. Wife's Seafood pasta salad ordered cold came heated. Just OK. We went back the next evening for another concert and just ordered take out dessert. Wife had coconut ice cream with Kaluha. Very good. I had Triple Chocolate Brownie topped with Coconut Ice Cream. Excellent!!! We will try them again when indoor dining is safer. read more

I'm glad to have a place in Fairview with such a nice patio area. The bar is well stocked and they have a wide selection of beverages to choose from. The food was pretty good too. I had a roast beef sandwich and my wife got blackened fish. We both left happy. Easy on the wallet too. Great food and drinks at a fair price. Will definitely be back. read more

The manager Courtney was super disrespectful to my friends and I and admitted that she was a rude person after my friends and I didn't tip the amount she was expecting! I would go to the Plano location I have never had a problem there! read more

Alexia is the best bartender ever! Every time I come in she makes sure that I am taken care of. 10/10

LOL ! This place is awful. The frozen margarita I ordered tasted like thick syrup poured over a 7 eleven slurpee. I wasn't pleased with the service either. Almost everything on the menu contained "jerk" seasoning. As a Caribbean this was a poor example of jerk. They should just call it "spicy". Actual jerk has several layers of herbs and spices, my chicken sandwich tasted like a regular spicy chicken sandwich. Can easily be topped by Popeyes. I was super disappointed especially after reading reviews. If you have a mature and experienced palate, don't waste your time. Honestly, upon walking in my gut told me to go to Gloria's right next door, always go with your gut folks! read more

If you are into frozen food this is your place! Ordered the roast beef and cheddar. The meat was from frozen, overcooked and not flavorful. We also ordered the Philly and was also not flavorful and not full like most philly sandwiches are. The owner was onsite and sat behind us - super cringe. He stared at us the whole time. He was taking up most of the area we were sitting in (brought in some friends and kept making the waitresses bring them food). When we went to leave chairs were in our way and as an owner you would assume he would move the CC airs or say sorry as we squeezed by he just continued staring. Will not return. Food was subpar. Gordon Ramsey would not approve. It would make for a great episode of Kitchen Nightmares. read more

I met a friend there for lunch today. I had the steak sandwich with waffle fries and he had the chicken enchilada. The steak sandwich was awesome. The prices are fair and the restaurant has a nice bar and TV screens. There were other menu items that I can't wait to try. I will be back. The service was great too. I forgot my mask(left in the car) so the server just went and got one for me. Very cool. You made a friend today! read more

My husband and I are regulars and love the place. The staff is amazing. There food is amazing. The chicken enchiladas and beans are one of my favorites. We have met some great people who have become friends. We are so glad that we find them. Go and see them you will not be disappointed. read more

My husband and I love this place! It is a perfect spot to watch the game or hang out with friends. Their food and service are fantastic! We love the tortilla soup and the quesadillas. They also have a great grilled chicken spinach salad if you are trying to eat healthy. All of the servers and bartenders are super friendly and work together to make sure you are taken care of! They also have a good wine selection, which is nice on Wednesdays when the bottles are half off! read more

Love this place!!! Delicious food, wide variety. Staff is always friendly and inviting. They have events and live music. Great place for that after work drink read more

I'd been seeing the reviews and wanted to try this place. Not impressed. Service was slow. But Ok, we weren't in that big of a hurry. I wanted a quesadilla. There were 2 options, one was chicken, spinach and mushrooms. The other said Raul Chicken. I asked what Raul chicken was. She said a spicy blacken chicken. Ok,I order Raul chicken quesadilla. When it arrives I take a bite and notice spinach and mushrooms. I do not like mushrooms. And what was that horrible sauce? I wait trying to flag down the waitress. Finally get her attention. I ask her if I got the right Raul chicken, she says yes. I said it has mushroom? She says they both do (no where on the menu does it say the Raul chicken quesadilla has mushrooms). I mention I don't like mushrooms, she shrugs, says 'sorry' and walks away. I picked the mushrooms out. And eat it. My date got the poblano chicken. He said it was just ok. I really wanted to like this place, but probably won't be back. read more

Cafe Gecko Fairview - American Near Me - Fairview, Texas

Poor service. In 20 mins that we waited there, hostess came ones to give plates and once to give cutlery. No waitress to take order, we had to go pick menus ourselves and wait. Left without eating, maybe they are short staffed but the place wasn't crowded either. Unfortunate. read more

The food and service at this restaurant this afternoon was terrible. I had to ask to check on my soup which I waited 20 minutes for and was clearly sitting under the heat lamp in the kitchen longer than it should've been.I guess they don't need new business. I won't go back - there are too many other options in this area. Cafe Gecko in Richardson is much better. read more

I spent my entire twenties going to the old The Colony location, heck I even got my wife's number there. Now that I'm older and going more for food than drinks, the food is just the same. Pizza, chicken strips, Cheesesteak and the sour cream chicken nachos are our goto orders. Family friendly atmosphere during the day, fun spot for drinks with friends at night. read more

Food was not good, no flavor to the queso, chips were store bought, no flavor on the chicken for quesadillas, literally plain flat top grilled chicken and a few pieces of shreddeD cheese for 7$ at lunch. Diet Coke didn't have enough syrup and they didn't offer to fix it. Pablano chicken had a canned green Chile and a canned tomato on top instead of pablano. This place won't last long. read more

Love their patio atmosphere! Have ordered the turkey sandwich, chicken enchiladas & pizza on several visits. All were so yummy!!!! Totally recommend this place! read more

We stopped by here the first week they opened and man what a great find!! We split the sour cream chicken nachos as an appetizer and they were awesome! I had a blackened grilled chicken salad and my partner had the grilled chicken sandwich they both were very juicy and and flavorful.. The bar was very clean and the staff very friendly.. We will be back soon to try the pizza the customers next to us were raving about and to take advantage of their big patio for some drinks!!! read more

Amazing food and great atmosphere! Seafood nachos are the best! Definitely a great new restaurant! I will be back!

My friends and I discovered Gecko's during the time a lot of businesses were beginning to open after the Covid shutdown. We were headed to Gloria's, but they had no seating whatsoever allowed at their bar. We walked away, wearing our masks, and noticed Cafe Gecko. There were a few people in there and we thought, heck let's give it a shot. Well, since then, it has been our go-to place for cocktails and conversation at least 2-3 times a week. Lots of "regulars" and the staff is always awesome. It's like hanging out with friends. They must treat their employees well, because they are always cheerful and know exactly what we want the moment we walk in. Their drinks are awesome, and you will pay half of what you would pay at high end steakhouses where they give you a good pour. Geckos is the BEST. OH, and if you are hungry? Order their pizza. Any of them. They are thin crust and absolutely delicious. They have a huge patio as well as karaoke on Monday nights. (On the patio). Lots of tv's in the bar to watch your favorite games as well. Love this place and clearly, can't say enough good things about it! read more

First time coming here, and it was amazing! I had the sour cream enchiladas and stuffed jalapeños. Amazing food and service!
