I do love the location, and the concept. And I've been here a few times. The people are really nice. But the service is UBER slow. The dessert is delicious! But the food is ehhh Jambalaya is so salty it's instant high blood pressure in a bite. The last time was kinda cut throat... coconut shrimp had NO coconut, it if fried in fish fry batter and the dip os coconut pudding. Y'all. I just can't. I'll eat here with you, but I'm getting water and pie... then I'm out. Sorry, not sorry. read more

When we first walked in the staff didn't acknowledge us and stood around talking for awhile. When we were seated it seemed like a bother. No smile. Food was delicious and we tried a few different things. Recommend if only for the food. Place seemed clean and food came out quickly. read more

Gayle's - Fried pickles, mozzarella and chicken tender. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Bonham, Texas

A group of 5 of us regularly meet for lunch here as we try to solve the worlds problems. We're appreciative towards our servers, pray before each meal and don't ask for much. We've never had any issues and thank you for providing good food. Recently the service has declined and decision making. I personally can understand it gets busy at times and delays happen. The food has always been OK but, recently 1 of our members took his wife there and didn't receive his food. He finally spoke up after a long period of time and was told their order would be "fast tracked." As others were getting their orders and my friend and his wife weren't, they left hungry. Yesterday when our group of 5 visited, we sat waiting for over an hour before asking "where is our orders?" Our server informed us there was a problem with the rice cooker. As one of our members said "this is unacceptable" our server immediately responded by saying "do you want me to cancel the whole order?" To me, that was a rude thing to say. 2 in our group had ordered a dish which includes rice and because of that, nobody would get their order. Because of this, we will never visit Gayle's again nor will we bring our families. I can think of many situations that could have made this better. 1. Inform the customers there is a problem with the rice cooker and offer an alternative instead have all of us waiting over an hour before finding out there's a problem. 2. Boil rice in a pot. 3. Send someone to a store or have someone deliver minute rice (nobody would know the difference.) 4. Apologize for the long wait. 5. Offer a discount or a free food item. Nothing was conveyed to us in the form of wrong doing and we were inconvenienced in time. I can't be sued for lost revenue from this review because there's no contract stating I can't leave a honest review regarding the service or practices of this business. read more

Good food and great people. Enjoyed the chicken fried steak and a huge loaded bake potato. Carry out, but I was short my appetizer when I got home. I should have checked it 1st. Good place though. read more

I absolutely love this restaurant, I have been here several times with friends on lunch break and I have NEVER had a bad experience. The food is always delicious, fresh, and honestly comes out picture perfect every time. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and very homey, trendy farmhouse chic vibes, and always clean! The waitresses are sometimes super busy, but greet you with a smile and I always receive amazing service - great place to come especially for a chill lunch for comfort food! read more

Gayle's - Name on the wall - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Bonham, Texas

The service was fantastic! The waitress was very nice and attentive. The fried pickles was amazing and had a slight kick to them. I ordered the chicken fried steak mashed potatoes and beans. The steak was tough to chew and even to cut and had no flavor. The mashed potatoes were also bland and the gravy was water. I ordered beans with my meal as a side and they gave me refried beans with cheese. Who eats refried beans with chicken fried steak? The food was terrible except the fried pickles. The place was clean though and very welcoming. Great atmosphere but how can you mess up chicken fried steak being in texas. Smh. I might consider giving them another chance. read more

Food is always good. But tonight. We had the nicest most interactive waitress. If you get Emily she will let you know the scoop on the menu and keep your cup full. Great addition to the staff. read more

The atmosphere was amazing it gave off a home feeling. The waitress was very friendly and very attentive. The food was not up to par, it was good don't get me wrong but it wasn't what I was expecting. Most of the people that eat there rave about the food. I guess I just ordered the wrong thing from the menu. Pass on the Philly cheese steak. read more

Awesome. The food is great I am a regular and have never had a bad experience. I highly recommend it!

We have been eating at Gayle's since shortly after they opened. The food was always good until tonight. We have been bragging about the place to my brother-in-law. We finally got him to go tonight. The chicken fried steak was over cooked. It is usually delicious!! The rolls were hard. We could only eat the center of them. They are usually the best rolls I have eaten at a restaurant. My burger was burned. It looked like they tried to cut the charred part off. Even though it was burned, it was cold. The fries are usually hot and delicious, but they were cold tonight. I hope this was a fluke and not a sign that the quality of the food is going down hill. We will try again. read more

The ladies there are so hard working. Their food is always consistently good. Place is clean and cute

Gale's is one of the most delightful restaurants you could visit in Bohnam. The Cajun food is absolutely delicious not to mention they Have the best burgers in town with fries crispy to your specifications. My husband and I enjoy eating at this restaurant and enjoy the company of the people who run this restaurant. read more

Foods great. Étouffeé and jambalaya are both excellent. Service is worn thin at noontime because of a big crowd. Parking can be difficult at noon also. Try it. read more

Always great service, the food is always hot and fresh, and very tasty! I can never pass up the small sampler plate and Jambalaya.

Looking for some comfort food in Bonham and came across Gayle's. Had the smothered steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. It was great.

We had guests in from Des Moines and we took them to Gayle's for dinner. The special that night was crawdads and shrimp, so I was nervous about ordering something different. We all had Chicken Fried Steaks. Wow!! It was fantastic and our guests were impressed!! The staff was on top of everything and very friendly, even though it was swamped with customers hungry for the special. I'd recommend Gayle's to anyone who wants a great meal at a great price. read more
