I love the breakfast, ambiance and service. I wish they still offered their homemade biscuits, complimentary (as part of the plate) like they used to. Their biscuits were one of the main reasons my best friend and I used to go. Because they now offer white toast instead, I now hesitate on going back. read more

We were in the Valley visiting my Dad and was searching for a breakfast spot, I found this hidden gem in Elsa, Texas... I highly recommend this place!! Great service, super friendly, nice atmosphere and the food was amazing! I had Tres lechas French toast with a Latte and my husband had Green eggs and ham meal. Need to go back to try their hummingbird cake as it wasn't ready :-( Definitely going back again when I'm visiting my Dad again read more

Fantastic, friendly service. The food was amazing with generous servings. We opted for the breakfast selections. I had chilequiles! My wife had the green eggs and ham! Boys had the potato with eggs and the chicken fried steak with eggs. All bread made in house. Chicken fired steak was very tender!. And by the way the setting is quaint with a warm home feeling, decorated inside out for Halloween. Owners told us, it would be decked out for Christmas next. This place is worth the drive! read more

I was pleasantly surprised of this place and why I'm actually writing this review. Their customer service was outstanding, and the place feels like you're eating at home. Bread and sauces is homemade. Will not break your wallet and a plethora of desserts. I loved their chicken fried chicken with a side of three cheese Mac and mashed potatoes with country gravy. I highly recommend. I'm definitely coming back. read more

Gigi's Restaurant & Cafe - Chicken fried chicken with a side of three cheese Mac, mashed potatoes with a side of gravy and homemade toasted bread. - Southern Near Me - Edcouch, Texas

Do yourself a favor and take whatever road leads you to this amazing little gem. With a menu that would get Guy Fieri's attention, this little diner has something for everyone. Looking for breakfast? Great! They serve breakfast all day. Hoping for a sandwich? Hope no more, they've got you covered. Were you craving a classic monte cristo? Say. Less. Do yourself a favor and drop into this family-owned eatery. You won't be disappointed (and yes they do bake their bread daily, make their own dressings and many of their own sauces - you really shouldn't take my word for it, though). read more

Hands down the best breakfast I've ever had. Everything homemade. We shared 4 different plates and EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING. Also service was the best. Perfect 10 for yall. read more

One of the best breakfast spots I've ever been to! Everything my family and I have tried has been delicious, high in quality, and obvious that a lot of care was put in. The tres leches french toast and vanilla latte are absolutely next level and have been my favorite to order, however their savory meals never disappoint either. We also love the soft jazzy music they play; to me it tastes just like the food you eat there. The service is always very kind and welcoming, and every small detail from the quality maple syrup to the fresh strawberries makes the experience one of a kind. Definitely worth the drive out read more

A hidden gem! Really nice ambiance . Cute decor. Got there after the lunch crowd . The perfect example of excellent home cooking. Menu is real extravagant but all meals are prepared by hand and individually. A lot of love in the food ordered. Can't go wrong with any item on the menu. The mustard-type sauce for the onion rings was amazing read more

A charming little cafe only 20 min away from me. It's in Ed Couch and well worth the drive. Shabby-chic decor all bright & Christmasy. Sure put me in the spirit! We went for brunch. I had the monte cristo. So delicious!! My sister said the pancakes were great too! Everything is freshly made. All from scratch. The owner is hands-on. Very friendly place. I want to go back and have breakfast. They have wonderful deserts too. Strawberry lemonade! I recommend the cucumber lemonade. So refreshing!! We suggested adding tequila or rum..... read more

Always great service and delicious food. The sourdough bread is to die for. Comfortable setting. A very enjoyable meal

OMG! How to even find the words to describe Gigis. This charming diner offers an array of only the most delicious dishes. To name a few there's Tres Leches French Toast, Chicken Fried Steak, Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich, 3 Cheese Mac... now I feel like should've snapped a pic of the menu cause basically everything listed is mouthwatering. The owner were amazing and walked us through the menu and suggested a few fan faves. We stopped in on our drive to South Padre and are tempted to drive back everyday for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Oh! This place serves breakfast all day. Bottom line, if you find yourself passing through Edcouch, you HAVE to go to Gigis! read more

This is def a hidden gem in south Texas ! I will definitely go again, and hear great things about their breakfast. My meatloaf was so good. My family ordered the chicken Alfredo and chicken fried chicken and man their plates were amazing . The only reason it isn't getting a five star is because the food was a lil pricey to me with upcharges for tons of stuff. Flavor wise the only negatives where my mash was a lil bland, and my extra side of veggies was a lil too oily. The owner however did take the time to make conversation which was very pleasant and thoughtful. You can tell she definitely wants everyone who walks in to have a welcomed experience. read more

And don't miss talking to the owner. She's a hoot and will make sure you're well taken care of. Definitely a place we'll add to our regular spots. read more

This small restaurant was quite a pleasant surprise. When traveling in the Valley, great Mexican food is so very abundant. This restaurant is a refreshing break with multiple choices of breakfast and lunch and salad options. The poppyseed dressing is to die for. Thank goodness you have the option of buying a bottle to take with you. I will definitely be returning when I return to the Valley. The owners, Gigi and Margie are doing a fantastic job with their restaurant. read more

Absolutely delicious breakfast! Mimosas are delicious too! Great place for Sunday brunch!

Great food even if it's costly. Amazing 3 cheese Mac. Worth visiting at least once in your life. Definitely will be back for the max and cheese. read more

Outstanding! Food is excellent. Pancakes, waffles, fried chicken and meatloaf are my favorite. Huge portions

We were seated quickly and staff was friendly. We ordered and the food took over 30 minutes to get to our table. The food needed salt and spices to have better flavor. Food looked pretty but due to lack of flavor I wouldn't go again. read more

Great food, you have to try their Monte Cristo if you go there. The cakes were excellent. They make their own sourdough bread. The restaurant is small but was very well appointed. The owners were very friendly. We've been there several times and will definitely go back again. read more

Strawberry salad is delicious. They make their own vinaigrette. Homemade desserts look incredible! We'd definitely go back next time we're in town. read more

I have recommended this locally owned restaurants to over 20 people and everyone has LOVED the Cafe. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, however if your asked what you want as your last meal, order the pancakes. Any flavor you order will stop you from ever going anywhere else for pancakes. Mari and her cook create miracles in the kitchen. The chicken fried chicken , the chicken & waffles , the chicken fried chicken, their omelets , ok everything is delicious. That includes their homemade lemonade & home brewed tea. One of these days I am going to have room for a slice of cake. Weekend toasted biscuits - no words read more

Happened upon GiGi's while traveling. What a gem food was fabulous and the service is nothing short of stellar southern hospitality. Mari makes her sourdough from her own starter and it is heavenly! read more

This place is a gem. The owner is so gracious, friendly, and welcoming. The burgers are excellent. The sourdough buns are made in-house. The Cajun Pasta is delicious.

If you're looking for a cute clean place to eat Gigi's is the place. My favorite is the meatloaf with mashed sweet potatoes. They serve large portions so if you're not a big eater you'll have enough to take home. The cheese and cracker tray is perfect and filling with a glass of wine. My friend had the strawberry salad with spinach which was delicious. Can't go wrong at Gigi's with her homemade desserts either. read more
