While visiting Michigan, I stopped into Gilley's and ordered a custom breakfast plate because I'm on a special diet. It was so good that I came back twice. I've jokingly started calling it the "El San Diego" breakfast plate. The pork was flavorful, the food was fresh, and everything was cooked perfectly. What really stood out was the service. On my return visit, the owner remembered my order and personally whipped up the same El San Diego breakfast plate for me again. It was just as incredible the second time. Friendly staff, great food, great ambiance, and genuine 5 star hospitality. As a Southern California Mexican food snob, I can honestly say Gilley's exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be back a third time before I leave.

They do need some type of number system, as we saw lots of confusion delivering food to tables. You can pick out your drink while you wait in line. The ambiance is clean, hip, bbq light, gender neutral bathrooms. The surf and turf taco was great...smoky brisket and snappy shrimp. The queso and chips was also very good, sturdy chips and a real nice cheese queso, not velveeta. Overall excellent...I''ll come back.

We were the only people there which was sad because the food was great. I got the smoked chicken taco it was tender and the apple salsa on top was perfect . tortilla was also very tender and delicious.

WOW!! This is all I can say when I eat from this place! The food is seriously authentic! You're not…read moregetting Taco Bell or some Mexican restaurant same ole same ole, the seasonings are legit, I couldn't even replicate or tell you what or how they do this!! So far I've tried their tamales, enchiladas, soft/puffy tacos, and the huge chimichanga. ALL are amazing, but what really sticks out to me is their enchilada sauce, it's green and almost a gravy texture but it's the best damn enchilada sauce I've ever EVER had! Also let's talk about this huge chimichanga, this thing is big, it's this fried tortilla stuffed with cheese and a huge amount of your choice of meat (chicken, pork, or beef) and then doused in their enchilada sauce and topped whatever toppings you like. I can eat a lot but by the time I got to the middle of this thing, I was so full I couldn't eat anything for the rest of the night. It fills you up big time. Anyways, obviously I could write a novel about this place, so go try it, it's awesome, I'm surprised this place hasn't put Taco Bell out of business in this town lol!

I really had high hopes for this experience but not only did they forget about my To-Go order but…read morethey also didnt read the ticket and prepared it on a plate then flipped it upside in the box once someone corrected the cook. Its ABSOLUTELY NOT worth the $22 that I paid nor the 20% tip that I gave. And to add insult to injury, the grilled peppers & onions are still on the entree after I requested NO Peppers or Onions. I would ask for a remake but Im afraid Id get something that I doesnt come on the menu. Good thing I tried it before I brought my hubby for a dinner date. I will not be promoting this restaurant to anyone in the near future. Y'all need to get your shit together for what you are charging.

I ordered the brisket sandwich. I've eaten a lot of brisket at a lot of places but I've never had it charred over fire. It shockingly good. I would say maybe the best brisket I've ever had. The meat itself was super tender but still moist, then the char brought out all the flavor. I tried the sauces, all of which were good but the meat was the star of the show. I honestly didn't care for the mustard potato salad but didn't mind because there was so much meat on the plate. I'll stop here every time I'm in the area. 10/10

For example, their Bahn Mi sandwich isn't traditional, but who cares right? It was new, cool, fun, and tasty. Be sure to test out their yummy tacos and one of their hotdogs. Good people and good food, my favorite things.

Now they will give you a half of a bag, and the chips are store bought. I do not recommend this place to anyone anymore. Beware...
