The portions of the food was super big. Luke C read more

I was here for brunch on Sunday August 9, 2026. The experience was not good. My review will be the good, bad, and the ugly. The good is that the room is well lit with lots of windows and a lot of natural light. The restroom was also clean. Unfortunately this was the best part of the experience. The bad: service. Our server was young , inexperienced, and inattentive. Waited forever for water and drink service. The ugly was the meal. There were three of us. We ordered grilled cheese, eggs Benedict florentine , and the house Gaston Benedict. Each meal came out at different times. There was a 15-18 minute gap between the first meal served and the last meal served. The timing was unacceptable, especially since the place was empty. All meals came out Luke warm. Even the grilled cheese and fries. First off the grilled cheese came first, 7-9 minutes later came the Benedict with spinach and tomato. 10 minutes later came the Gaston Benedict. The grilled cheese was good; albeit served lukewarm warm and not hot. Seriously how can anyone mess up a grilled cheese and fries? In both Benedict's the poached eggs were over cooked, poached hard and served luke warm. The potatoes were charred and cold. The bacon and chicken breast on the Gaston were cold. The florentine skimped on the spinach and it was lukewarm warm at best. In both Benedict's, the hollandaise appeared to have been out of a jar, had no flavor, was watery and was served cold. Finally we ordered ice tea. It had that funky taste ice because it is likely left out and they add new tea to yesterdays tea. It was gross. This meal sucked! The manager or owner came over and said sorry. Said he would take off both Benedict's. But then only took off the Gaston Benedict. He was too busy entertaining and eating with what appeared to be family or friends on the patio to follow up and left it to the young inexperienced waitress to explain. Regretfully, I paid for what was supposed to be taken off my bill as both Benedict's were inedible. I didn't want to make a scene and wanted to leave. I now know why on a Sunday morning the place was empty and why this restaurant is struggling. Too many other breakfast places in the area. I don't think I will ever return. read more

Tried this establishment tonight for the first time. Everything we ordered was excellent! We ordered the Beef Bourguignon, chicken Florentine, chicken panini, calamari, home made crab cakes, cheese burger and grilled cheese. We will definitely be coming back here more often! Service was excellent as well. Pricing is very fair and affordable. The owner even came out to thank us for coming in. Definitely took some desert to go as well. read more

Service was really good and wasn't busy at time we went so we could talk to each other. The music was good. We will go again saw a few things we would like to try. read more

Food is served in big portions. Servers were friendly and service was fast. The owner was friendly as well.

We had a party of nine for lunch on Friday. We were greeted by Adam and Patrick. The food was outstanding! I had the cheese platter. It was on a charcuterie board. It had fresh strawberries, walnuts, 4-5 different types of cheese. It was topped with roasted Italian bread drizzled with honey. My brother had an amazing beet salad. He traveled from the north side of Chicago. It was huge with enough to take home for dinner. Other entrees included salmon patties, beef bourginion, chicken salad on croissant, a huge bacon cheddar burger with fries, and an omelette. The service was 10 out of 10. The young lady was very pleasant and professional. The have lots of homemade desserts to try. creme brûlée, tarramusu and others. we will definitely be back to this place. read more

This place has been here for 20 years and I had never heard of it. We read a news story about it and decided to give it a try. And we are so glad we did! I ordered a special so its not on the menu. It was the Scallop Pasta. My experience in the past with this type of dish is that they are usually flavorless. You just get to enjoy the scallops. But low and behold not here! The flavors in this entree were over the top crazy delicious! A 5 out of 5 rating! The ingredients were so fresh and the flavors so bold! The scallops, as well as the other items, were cooked to perfection. The chef knows his business! I had a difficult time selecting my entree as every item on the menu was very appealing. My wife had the Fruity Blast Crepes. She is a crepe coinsure and she was not happy. Her claim is that the crepes were too thin, flavorless and hard. She also feels that the blueberry's were frozen and not fresh. And that there were not enough fruits inside the crepes. The order comes with two crepes which she consumed entirely. She usually has to take some home. She is picky so take that with a grain of salt. 3 out of 5 rating. The owner here gives every customer personal attention which I like and my wife doesn't. But he is a great guy. As I mentioned before the service is friendly and professional. But the food takes a long time to arrive. So they should provide a complementary appetizer to hold you over until your entree arrives. Also the place has poor ventilation and they compensate with fans. The fans are VERY annoying and can ruin your experience if you don't take charge as we did. Overall this is a MUST try venue. I loved it and the wife liked it. But I know better! Go there, you will be glad you did! read more

My sister said Gastons had a good write-up in a local paper with good reviews, so we went there for lunch. I ordered the Corned Beef Hash and was disappointed with the portion size. I asked the waitress if the cook could add a little more, but a few minutes later, the assistant manager with the same plate without anything added said that I must have been mistaken and had probably seen the "Corned Beef Skillet." Whether it was my version of the corned beef hash or the skillet, it didn't make a difference. My sister ordered their Crab Cake Benedict; what a disaster! I'm sharing a photo of the entree and one from the restaurant's images. The hollandaise sauce in the restaurant photo is smoother than my sister's. However, the eggs are broken, which is far from the smoothness of the restaurant photo. Also, the crab cakes were puny. read more

The turkey pot pie was so delicious! They make it from scratch and is the very best I have ever tasted. BYOB is a plus and the staff is friendly. I would highly recommend Gaston's! read more

We went to Gaston's Bistro for first time on 4/13. I ordered the Crispy Eggplant and my husband ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger. The burger was huge and my husband said it was very good. I had one of his fries and they were really good The Crispy Eggplant was one of the best dishes I've ever had. The portion was large enough that I had leftovers for 2 days. The eggplant was fried perfectly, the ratatouille was perfect, and the polenta was creamy and delicious. I really can't give this dish enough praise. The staff was friendly and attentive as well. We definitely will be dining here often, but it will be hard for me to try something new. read more

Stopped by Today for lunch with my mother and daughter while we were in town. The place was warm and inviting, I really enjoyed the seating of the open booths with leather pillows. Everything we ordered was so good, but I particularly recommend the crab cakes & chicken bow tie pasta. Service was fast and attentive, on a rainy day it was a great spot for a warm lunch. We will definitely be back read more

Everything !from the time I entered until the time I left. Service was great people were friendly. Will be there again

We have been visiting this place for years , our favorite is the blackened chicken on a croissant and the Gaston salad and Greek salad but everything we tried was good especially the pastas. The owner takes pride in his food and often walks around and asks if everything is to your liking. The inside is done nicely and comfortable and the deserts are homemade and special. I say try it. The ladies seem to like lunching there , it's not loud and crowded like the other Orland restaurants. read more

Gaston's of Orland Park catered a memorial we held at our home yesterday. The delicious food was delivered on time and in a very friendly manner. We had the beef bourguignon, home made mashed potatoes and beautifully prepared fresh green beans. Our guests loved everything, especially the savory beef and gravy. We've always enjoyed dining at Gaston's and having them cater our private memorial was a huge success. Thank you! read more

The worst crab cakes ever. Small flat just a hot mess . What can improve close down the restaurant was clean it took 50mins to be served the worst crab cakes and the salmon honey was also nasty the mustered sauce from the crab patties I put on the fish it tasted like oily fish skin, use the parking lot to turn around. No read more

Just got seated. Bathroom is clean and very nice. the tall plant by the register has trash next to it. Overall cleanliness 7/10. Food is good!

Went on 3/23 today is 3/25 she hasn't eaten it yet but says she still wants it though. Ewww. I was going to toss it but she protested. I will go back for breakfast another time. read more

The chicken salad sandwich was great.. HOWEVER... our server, Jihad informed me that the chicken salad sandwich was not $7 as it says on the menu, but it was $13. When I asked go speak to the owner, he said it was $13 & if I counted down the number of prices written, I would see that the $7 was for the grilled cheese, and not thr chicken salad sandwich...a printing error. I shouldn't have to play some kind of a game when it comes to their prices!? I found that to be a bit of a sparky answer, which they should have honored the $7.. Nope! He charged me $13. Sooooo.. We were a table of 6 and because of this nonsense, we will not return. I hope it was worth it.. No wonder we had the place to ourselves for almost 2 hours. read more

The turkey pot pie was not on the regular menu. It was delicious, great crust, generous amount of meat, with peas, carrots and celery, all in a creamy sause. The chicken and turkey pot pies are only in the winter. I'll be going back for chicken next time. read more

Gastons has a very nice atmosphere with an owner that cares for freshness and quality, Often he comes out and checks how you are enjoying your order even in the afternoon. We have stopped here for years and I recommend it to my lady friends for a nice more personal lunch out to meet and talk. My husband and I enjoy the salads and the Blackened Chicken croissant and Avocado Toast Salad and Gastons Salad . Pasta dishes are good and Desserts look very amazing too. read more

Located close to the Orland Square Mall, I was able to try Gaston's. The restaurant has plenty of seats / tables for all party size. I like that I can pick any table I want. Gaston's has a vast menu of sandwiches to choose from which I like and I ended up with the roast beef panini ($12) and it came nice and tasty as how I like it. The roast beef with melted mozzarella and tomato on a pesto spread - Very nice!. Highly recommend. read more

Ordered through Grub Hub at 6:23 pm. Due to arrive by 7:01-7:16. Ordered chicken bow tie Mediterranean chicken wrap and French onion soup. Order did not arrive until 7:51 pm. Soup was barely warm. Pasta I could not find more than a couple small diced pieces of chicken. Both soup and pasta needed seasoning. They were very bland. Wrap was pretty good. I opted for dressing on the side to avoid being soggy. When tracking order it looked like my food took a detour to another stop before mine. Requested refund from grub hub. But if restaurants are behind times indicated on delivery site should be updated. read more

This place is tucked away in a strip mall, but is well worth looking for! It has indoor and outdoor seating and ample parking. The indoors is beautifully appointed and cozy; the outdoor patio has plenty of tables with umbrellas. The owner is gracious and friendly. His waitstaff is very much the same. The food was awesome and the desserts were even better! Highly recommend this place read more

After reading recently that this place is struggling to stay open, I thought I'd try them again. It's been years since I was here! I had a cup of the tomato Florentine soup. Great flavor! Next, I opted for the croque monsieur sandwich...which is a twist on the grilled hand and cheese It's served on a baguette with Dijon mustard and the cheese is melted on top! Very good! The chef/owner came out to every table and he asked how everything was. I enjoyed my lunch and I would consider a return visit. read more

I ordered the classic turkey sandwich with a side of pasta salad. I ate half of the turkey sandwich in the photo above , so portions were generous. No deli turkey meat here! Fresh roasted turkey sliced from the bone to order. Delicious! French bread was soft and chewy. Sandwich trimmings were fresh and tasty. Pasta salad tasted fresh and homemade and had peas and diced peppers and some celery. Clean, cozy atmosphere. Nice to eat food from a small business that loves what they do rather than put together on a corporate assembly line! read more

Lovely outside area , and cozy inside area. Very friendly feeling . The manager greeted us and everyone else, he very friendly and welcoming . Three of us for lunch. We split chicken Quesadillas, which were wonderful and tasty. I ordered New Orleans shrimp and penne pasta, it had a delicious sauce that also had sun dried tomatoes, each portions / entrees were Flintstone size . The sauce was great , everyone at the table loved it. Another entree was a cheeseburger , and again it was huge , but more importantly flavor was delicious and perfectly cooked (med rare) . Last was a huge salad with blackened chicken and beets , also very tasty. So , everything ordered was absolutely delicious and I thought portions TOO BIG , WE WANTED TO ORDER SWEETS AND CAPPUCCINOS BUT NO ROOM . We left with doggie bags as did everyone else in the restaurant. AND one problem. Our very sweet waitress spoke so quickly we couldn't understand her, she never cleared off our table , there wasn't enough room all the dishes ( which were BIG) so we put them on the spare chair or the next empty table . We asked for water, and she brought out only for one person. We asked for plates and flatware and I don't think she knew what flatware was until my friend said utensils. That was our only complaint , perhaps she was new . NOW THE BUSBOY, he was excellent, he did bring us what we asked for , he cleared the table without us asking. Spoke clearly and was friendly. He was really hustling, so we also tipped him. We will definitely come back , especially for the savory crepes. Go there , you won't be disappointed. Next time we will sit outside , it was so cute out there , unfortunately it was raining during our visit. read more

We've been going to Gaston's since they opened and we enjoy all the dishes! We went twice last weekend. My husband ordered the Florentine Benedict both days and is in love with the dish. The pasta primavera was so good on Saturday. I had the chicken bow tie pasta on Sunday and it's my favorite dish. Gaston's is the best! read more

Gaston's Bistro - Chicken panini very tasty - French Near Me - Orland Park, Illinois

This place was on Restaurant Impossible a while back. I actually didn't learn that until I'd ordered from them a few times. The menu is expansive, but I recommend sticking with the beef burgundy or the Hunter Chicken as those have always been consistently really good. The other items can be good or not and some I'm not sure why they're served at a place with a French name. I can't comment on service as I've only ordered carryout. But there have been no issues in any case, the food arrived on time and was hot. Stick with the two dishes I mentioned and you can't go wrong. read more

Food was great, had an egg and cheese crossaint, some spinach, avocado, mushroom, and cheese crepes, the house veggie burger, and crispy eggplant with polenta and goat cheese. The crepe came with only the cheese on the inside and other ingredients on top, and was more of a crispy rather than soft or spongy texture, so somewhat different than I had pictured but they were good. I'd order all of it again! Service was good and attentive. Food was a little slow to come out at times given that the place was pretty empty, but I wasn't in a hurry and was taking my own time, so I didn't mind that. Will definitely return! read more

I had the crab cakes and my friend had the blackened salmon. We loved both of them! The sauce for the salmon was especially tasty that we asked for seconds! Both came with delicious fresh mashed potatoes with gravy & fresh steamed green beans and carrots. The veggies were cooked to perfection! I also had the cafe mocha with almond milk. It was delicious! Friend had the crème brûlée for dessert and I had the limoncello cake. These were the best desserts we ever had in our whole life! Cake was so moist & creamy! The brûlée was made to absolute perfection! I've been here several times in the past and I've yet to be disappointed. It has been renovated since I last visited & they have tons of outdoor seating now & a very cute decor inside with white lights everywhere. Service was excellent, too! Server was so sweet, friendly and very attentive! Can't wait to return! read more
