    Pulled pork sandwich and catfish
    Asli A.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fun atmosphere. Dance floor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    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.

    Yes please--fried pickles

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    "Salad"
    Tara E.

    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.

    Rockin and dancing

    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.

    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.

    Chicken Fried Steak
    Michelle N.

    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.

    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.

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

    Who knew that Durant, Oklahoma, had a upscale restaurant? They just celebrated their 1 year…read moreanniversary. The manager helped us out first, Chandler. He took his time to explain the menu, answer our questions, and made sure that we had our appetizers and drinks. Grace was our waitress, she was attentive, checked on us multiple times and made sure that our table had whatever we needed. I was celebrate my birthday so it was a nice treat to enjoy the ambiance and really enjoyed all of their food for an appetizer. We shared the okra spears. The batter is really good, I do wish they were fried just a little bit longer, but that's just personal preference. I got there espresso martini to drink and it was made very well. For my meal, I tried the savory mushroom and swiss crepes and was even more impressed when I found out that that almost everything that they make in the restaurant is made fresh, including chopping the mushrooms and making the gravy. It was so flavorful and seasoned perfectly. I also got a side of fruit and I really enjoyed the pears and the apples. I also got a side of the truffle fries, and they were some of the best i've ever had. Of course I had to get dessert because it's my birthday. I chose their seasonal tart, which was a bourbon peach tart. The peaches were flavored really well. I added vanilla ice cream, and it took it to another level. The only critique I have is that the crust could have been cooked a little longer. But overall, my meal was exceptional. If I come back to Choctaw casino, I will come back here. Also above the restaurant, they have a boutique hotel. I definitely want to come check out a suite as well. Just so you're aware, they do charge an 18% gratuity. So be mindful when you're tipping, but we gave extra, because Grace did such a good job.

    Let me begin by saying that the customer service and overall experience was FIVE STARS!…read more You walk into a space that has an intimate charm to it and a menu that has some creative options. We got seated and Chandler came over to greet us. He made some suggestions and went above and beyond to make sure that our visit was a memorable one. Grace was our server and she made sure that our cups were never empty and plates didn't stack up on the table. We started with the okra spears. Whole pieces of okra that are battered and served with a ranch dipping sauce. Now this is totally about preference but for us, the okra needed to cook a little longer, especially the larger pieces, but the seasoning was on point. I got the meat lovers omelette and it came with potatoes however I was looking for something lighter. I was given options of truffle fries, sweet potato fries or fresh fruit. I opted for the fruit (slices of apples, pears, oranges). They use a thick cut bacon and I personally prefer my bacon cooked harder so there were some pieces that were chewy and not to my liking. I also felt that the eggs were cooked a little too hard. However with that said, everyone else at the table really enjoyed their food and as I mentioned we were checked on numerous times and I was asked if I wanted them to replace it (at this time I was almost done so no need for that). Everything mentioned in this review was also discussed with Chandler and I appreciated that he took constructive criticism as well as positive feedback well. Overall we had a great experience and we would definitely come back. Note that they give a discount for paying in cash and gratuity is added to the check however you have the opportunity to change it.
