While visiting the casino, we decided to eat at Gilley's. I am a huge fan of Urban Cowboy and thought the place was really nice. Seating was fast, they did not have a crowd. Brittany was our waitress and was friendly. They have a wide selection of menu items, from chicken to fish to tacos. I ordered the chicken quesadilla with green beans and fried mushrooms. The mushrooms were my favorite. Very good meal. Great portions, I was so full. My friends got fried fish and chicken wings. Also a side salad which was more like a meal. Two people could eat on that salad. They had a live band coming around 930 that night. We were not staying, we had gambling to do. The place was fancy and would make for a good time of eating, drinking and listening to live music. Definitely recommend. read more

We visited Gilley's for dinner on 3/14/16. It is located in the Choctaw Casino. It has a dance floor and even live music later in the evening. We ordered the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and bacon green beans. Yummy!! Great, good ol' southern food. Spot on for what you would want from a chicken fried steak meal. Food arrived hot and fast. Staff was great. 10/10 Ambiance was fun. We went for an early dinner so I'm sure it's more fun when it's busier. 9/10 Food 10/10 We went back later in the night (after 10pm) just for drinks and the live music. We sat at the bar and loved it. read more

Fun atmosphere. Dance floor. We had a DJ, but as we were leaving, a live band was setting up. Service was great! I had the pulled pork sandwich, and it was too good. I spent half my meal trying to force myself to eat it because k couldn't just put it down - and I know, if I fall asleep before MR., my leftovers will be GONE! Mr. Had the catfish and a side of coleslaw. He really enjoyed his food. No leftovers of his food! So now, I know my last 3 bites of my sandwich will be gone by morning. read more

This was my first time back at this gilley's in years. I got buffalo wings for my entree, something I remember being great which thankfully still was! I really wanted a caesar salad, but was a bit thrown off by them only offering a full entree version (even without protein added, it was huge.) I started with fried pickles which were great, but came out without the chipotle ranch which truly made them so much better when I did finally get it. Our server was sweet, but was less than informed when we had questions. Things came out in a timely manner & the venue was clean with friendly staff. The food was generally overpriced, but unfortunately that's to be assumed at a casino. read more

Food was horrible. Fried mushrooms needed some seasoning. Sirloin steak texture was more like chopped steak. My husband finished a fourth of it. Outer edges were well done, when med rare was ordered. Chicken on the chicken sandwich was like a shoe sole. I couldn't bite through it and cutting it with a knife was like sawing a log. We could have gone to the steak house and spend just a tad more for an excellent meal. Our server Maddie was AWESOME though. her. read more

Stopped in on a Thursday evening when we were wandering around the casino and saw the sign for bar trivia--yes! They were on the 4th question so we joined in with no expectations. Got our table and cocktails, ordered fried pickle appetizer because I have a type and these did not disappoint--crispy, pickly, and served with a side of ranch. The room is open to the casino with a mini Gilleys vibei can't see Bud and Sissy falling in love two stepping around that tiny dance floor but the ambience was there. Answered a few trivia questions and gained a few trivia points. Let's do this! We both ordered the chicken tenders--he asked for onion rings and I asked for a double salad instead of the dinner salad that came with the dinner. A few more questions, a few more points ... and we were no longer in last place despite our late start! Yes! Salad came out and instead of a bigger bowl, I got two dinner salads--eh, no big deal, just enjoyed my big salad in two bowls, lol. The chicken arrived and it was a pile of chicken indeed! No way we were going to finish it all but we did our level best. And we came in third on the trivia out of a field of about 10 teams. Not too shabby! The only ding is that the $25 we won was not actually put on our players card--sad trombone. read more

Horrible place if you want service. If you want to just sit and not drink or eat, then no problem. The servers never came to our table after being in there for an hour, they just kept walking by and congregating around the bar. I asked a server if anyone bothers to come around my particular area and she stated she served a different area but would let someone know. Still nothing. On the way out I addressed the manager about the issue. All she did was apologize instead of saying well if you would come back in I will offer a comp drink or something. This isn't the first time experiencing poor service here but figured would give it another shot. SIT AND LISTEN TO MUSIC ONLY SPOT read more

Absolute must have on your visit!!! Kristie B. was an amazing bartender, her ability to multitask is something to be recognized. Her clear communication and happy demeanor was highly appreciated. She had a full bar and ten tables to serve. Way too much on her plate But managed well. We had blackened catfish and ribeye. The ribeye I ordered rare which came well done and the catfish was too seasoned but overall very good. Kristie's service was what will bring us back. read more

Would not let two 20 year olds dance, parents present. Literally no one on the dance floor. Not mentioned on website.

Wow, I want to recognize Kristie B. for busting her ass and making everyone happy. Watching her work was amazing she really good with customer service and consistent communication to all patrons, you can see by the way she works that she loves her job. She definitely had more tables then she should have and a full bar on top of it. Myself working in the service industry for 15 years, I understand and appreciate her struggle, hustle and effort. I've been a manager for 13 years and rarely see such work ethic. This place is so lucky to have her! read more

This is a cool spot inside the Choctaw Casino and Resort. We had dinner on a Saturday evening and there was no wait. The food was ok. I had a salad with grilled chicken. The chicken was slightly over cooked. The drinks were good. There was a Garth Brooks cover band that played from at least 10-midnight. We enjoyed listening and watching as people two stepped and twirled on the dance floor. If you are looking for food and drinks and a good time you might find that at Gilley's! read more

This place is a joke for food or service- $5 for a "salad" that was actually burger toppings. Oh and the manager brought it out; I had no silverware and then had to wait while the bartender walked past me, and spoke to the manager in the kitchen line, then exited the other way. Do not go here if you want quality food. This place must only be for drunk dancing in the middle of a casino. The bartender did comp the salad so there's an extra star. read more

Gilley's - "Salad" - Bars Near Me - Durant, Oklahoma

Since we had a table of "20!!!" I knew the waiters were gonna be mad. They were talking about us, and my uncle changed his meal while everyone was getting their food so the waiters may have spat in our food. The French fries I got had a very bad flavour and crunchy. The chicken had a good crunch but didn't taste that good. read more

NEVER AGAIN! We checked in for a table at 7:10pm and were told the wait was about 20-25 minutes. They sent us a text which never went off again to alert us that the table was ready. We checked back in after waiting 25 minutes and were able to get seated. We ordered immediately and got our drinks immediately. Then, we waited 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes, 70 minutes after ordering we received our food. The Waitress said it had been a bad day for them. The Assist Manager, who I went and found, said the host was new and it was his fault. Then I found the restaurant manager, she also blamed the new host and when I asked why they are seating tables knowing the kitchen is on an hour back up, she blamed Choctaw. The manager finally brings out the food. It was COLD. How do I wait for 70 minutes for food and then it gets delivered cold? I wondered the same thing and the manager agreed that she would bring me out replacements for everything cold. It's been almost 24 hours and I would still be there waiting! By the time we left, it was almost 9pm and there were only 5 parties in the entire place. NEVER AGAIN. Save your time and save your money. read more

Great bar inside the Choctaw Casino. They had Metal Shop, a Dallas 80's rock band, playing after the Scorpions concert. Fantastic music and beers. read more

I wanted to watch the Dallas game and I had heard the food was decent here. I had a burger of generous size and it was quite good, but a bit pricey. My server/bartender (Adrian) was very busy but he was attentive and efficient. I ended up giving up on the game because it was storming and the satellite kept losing the signal, but that couldn't be helped. Overall a good experience, though. read more

I really wanted to like this place because it's convenient being in Choctaw when you want to sit down and eat, and especially when the service this time was really fast and awesome. My favorite thing were the mashed potatoes because they were mashed with the skin and that's my preferred choice versus when you can tell they came from a box of dried potato purée.. The chicken fried steak itself was so chewy I almost choked it was so hard to eat unless I drownedddd it in gravy. Wouldn't recommend overall. Twice been here and disappointed with the food. First time was with burgers and fries. Don't recommend that either. read more

I finally got to eat here and it did not disappoint. Everything was excellent. I had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and it was awesome. Already wanna go back for another one. We started with the fried mushrooms and they were great. Not too breaded. We also had the frito pie. It was great. The chili was perfect. Going back to try ribs. read more

So, it's busy. I get that and the waitress and cooks turned out our salads in great time - but if you could only see WHAT they turned out. They took my wilted salad with brown avacado off our bill. But please be more professional and don't let junk leave the kitchen. This should have never made it to my table. read more

ZERO STARS!! Horrible service, mediocre food, server was the rudest person we ever met. This restaurant was one of the worst places in Durant don't waste your money. read more

We placed our orders and waited for an hour and a half for our food, nothing! We asked the waitress how long it would be, she couldn't give an answer so we told them we were leaving, they did comp our teas. What is up with that? We were pretty hungry and ended up eating in food court. read more

Went on a Sunday afternoon. Cute atmosphere. Server Jordin was the best. Would recommend the Smoked Beef Brisket and the Chicken Fried Steak. Prices are decent for a hotel restaurant. Fun atmosphere, great service, and good food. Bull riding is free for ages 19 and up. Kids do get to pose for photos while sitting on the bull. read more

Poor food quality and low value on drink prices. Wish I'd looked up reviews ahead of time. Skip the stop and hit Subway instead. Better sandwiches and salads available at Subway for a fraction of the price. Husband skipped the cornbread, ate only half the chicken fried steak and barely touched the mashed potatoes. That's saying something. #cookedyesterday read more

I love this bar but when the mechanical bull is gone it breaks hearts. I love riding the bull and it's a major bummer when it's not here.

We went to Gilley's to grab a bite before a concert and it was not a great experience at all. We ordered ribs, and while one order was enough to feed 3 people, they were hands down the worst ribs I've ever had. They were dry and so salty!!! The cole slaw was also very salty and the sweet tea was instant. Really? It takes too much effort to brew tea I guess. The waitresses were pleasant but when it came to splitting the check between 2 cards, even the manager couldn't do it. That's never happened to me in an eating establishment before. I realize Gilley's is supposed to be a bar and not a restaurant but if you are going to serve food to the public at least make sure it's something you yourself would eat. read more

This is a nice little restaurant inside of the Casino that serves traditional American food (burgers, wings, etc). I got the smoked half chicken which was very flavorful and came with BBQ sauce. I also got mashed potatoes and green beans. The mashed potatoes and brown gravy were awesome! Full of flavor. The green beans were sautéed with diced onion and bacon which made them very flavorful! My wife got the steak chili which moderately spicy and VERY good! It was served with diced red onion and shredded cheddar cheese. Excellent chili! (Also came with a cheddar biscuit). The service we got was good and the prices were reasonable. For casual food this restaurant was excellent. Would recommend! read more

We went here to see a few concerts while at the casino for the weekend. We should have gotten there sooner as the place filled up around 10:00 pm and there was nowhere to sit. We stood against a rail to watch the band. The dance floor is right in front of the stage which takes up the better part of the room. The next night we got a table a few hours earlier and were good to go! The service was better than average from a friendly local girl. The crowd wasn't too rowdy and everyone seemed to be having a good time. I ordered some cheese sticks which came out as cheese patties. They didn't look as good as they tasted, pretty darned good!! They serve them with salsa and ranch dressing. My mother in law had quesadillas and she said they were very good. Bathrooms were clean and overall easy to get to when the place got crowded. read more

If you want good bar food, this is a good place. The catfish and chicken fried steak are really good as are the hamburgers. The food comes out hot and freshly made. The hostess allowed us to wait for a booth and we didn't have to wait long. No complaints here. read more

Went to Gilleys for a drink while we were visiting the casino. I ordered a draft beer that was very overpriced in my opinion. However, the bathrooms were very clean, the service was quick, and they had a great band playing. read more

If I could give it less than one star I would wish I had read the review before we waited an hour to be seated. Took 15 minutes for a waitress to take our drink order. Took 30 minutes for an appetizer that was supposed to be chicken nachos. Watched the guy carry it by our table three times so by the time it got to us, we were right by the kitchen, it was cold. Waited another 25 minutes for our dinner. The waitress never checked on us. I ordered smoked pork chops, loaded mashed potatoes, green beans and jalapeño bacon cornbread. The pork chops were some thin version of a pork steak. Inedible. The green beans were not cooked and hard as a rock. The loaded mashed potatoes were cold and tasteless. My hubby ordered a two meat plate of brisket and ribs, baked beans and fries. It also came with the dry cornbread and no butter. The brisket had the nasty fat line that was about half an inch between the meat. Nasty. The ribs were not edible. He said the baked beans were ok since they came out of a can. The only positive was the tea. It was good. Wasn't refilled but it was good. Not one person from the waitress to the hostess asked how everything was. If they had we would have let them know. Instead we paid the 52.00 and chalked it up. read more

Overcooked, under flavored. Gilleys, go for the drinks and the atmosphere. Skip the food.

Decided to sit in the bar for drinks but found out all tables(and mean ALL tables) were reserved. No where online did I find notification of this. Cost was 100.00 to sit. The waitresses said we have made no money because all tables are empty until band starts. No good business. read more

This restaurant is not as bad as the reviews might have you believe. The atmosphere is great for a sports/dance bar and the food was good. I've never seen cheese sticks so big! They call them "jack sticks" and they come with salsa and ranch, which I thought was weird, but they were good. The few bites of my hubbie's prime rib I enjoyed were flavorful, and my chicken tortilla soup was abundant with chicken and southwest veggies. Very tasty. Now the sweet potato fries, they were mostly tasteless. And it took a few minutes to get a server and our drinks, but service was attentive after that. read more

Had 3 parties seated before us that came after us in our number or larger. Annoyed. Hosting sets the tone of your restaurant if you can't start off on a good foot it ruins the majority of your experience. read more

The food here was pathetic. I ordered catfish with fries and a side salad and my wife ordered a dinner salad w/ chicken fried chicken. First off the dinner salad was nothing more than iceberg lettuce with cucumbers and tomatoes. The waitress never came around to check if we needed anything. Crackers would have been a nice option for the salad but no one came anywhere near us after serving the salad. Then the catfish came out and I'm not quite sure this was catfish? It was mediocre at best, the fries were lukewarm, the jalapeño cornbread was hard as a rock (no butter to help soften it up), the two hush puppies were ok I guess. The highlight of my meal was a $6 pint of Michelob ultra! My wife's dinner salad was just a larger version of my side salad with COLD fried chicken on it! If you're at Choctaw casino I would recommend walking past Gilleys and try something else at the casino, i haven't had anything else at the casino but I promise you they would have to really work at it to suck worse than Gilleys! read more

This place is terrible. The service is terrible. They didn't know how to cook a steak. The food was cold when we finally got it. They weren't busy at all and it was still terrible. read more

Food was good not great once we finally got it. Service abysmal. Waited almost an hour after waitress took our order. She came back to say she forgot to put it in and forgot what it was. The only good thing was she forgot how many drinks we had and charged us for too few. read more

Worst experience ever. Had to stop a waitress to take our food order, then a few minutes later she asked if we wanted something to drink. Never came back to our table. A guy brought our food and another girl took our money. Nachos were stale and watery. read more
