    the outside of a restaurant
    Robert S.

    I was not leaving this city until I found a local food joint, so I drove away from the freeway on a major street and ran into Gills's. I made an excellent choice. No crowds (it was after lunch), the chicken was crispy and tasty, the service friendly. If I was staying in the area, I'd return to try the gizzards, liver, catfish, bread pudding et al.

    Fried chicken for lunch.

    I will say very fast service and good location. I loved the tenders fresh and crispy. The mash potatoes were well whipped. The gravy and biscuits I could eat by their self. Great food all the way around.

    So greasy, just wasn't impressed but people love this place from what I hear. It just didn't live up to the hype.

    Great chicken in big spring. You get what you pay for but if they are busy you are going to have to wait for what you paid for.

    Hands down the best chicken in town. Not always the friendliest or quickest but the best. Steak fingers are good as well.

    Want some great fresh chicken? Gills is the place. My personal favorite restaurant in Big Spring. While you're there, try the bread pudding.

    Gill's hasn't been good since Vicki Fontana quit. Keith Gill should have learned how she did things before he let her go. Just saying

    Fantastic mashed potatoes and gravy, the best tea, it's just great and a very good value for the money.

    Ok- this place is super cute! Lots of outdoor seating, neat vibe, fun decor. There are indoor…read moretables as well. You order at the counter and then they call your number or bring it to you. It wasn't too long of a wait... they were pretty busy. I wish I had taken pics. I ordered the French Dip. It was DELICIOUS. Nice and hot, perfect amount of au jus to dip in and the cheese and bread was great! But it was $15 and it was very very small. It doesn't come with anything other than the sandwich. That made me expect a large sandwich. It didn't even fill the little paper boat thing they serve it in. We got sweet tea and a bag of chips. Hubby got the turkey sandwich. Was also grilled- the turkey was nice, but the cranberry jam overpowered any other flavor. It was really small as well and was $18. The two bags of sun chips and a drink should have been included in that price, but it wasn't... we knew that, so it's cool, but expected larger meals for walking out with a $38 bill. They also don't have any burgers any more, so the menu here should be updated. Sweet tea was over steeped, and that wouldn't be a big deal either except again.... $$$! Lovely spot, pretty tasty! Still hungry.

    What a gem. Traveling thru and stopped because of Yelp reviews. We both ordered their chicken…read moresandwiches. The sandwiches are served warm with buttered toasted bread.. that was a hit... plenty of chicken thin sliced (not paper thin but just right) add the dill mayo and cheese and you have perfectly tasty sandwiches. They also have some delicious sides along with a small pickle bar. Next trip thru we will stop again and this time try the French dip and turkey sandwiches with a side... we look for unique local restaurants to visit and Locals was perfect.
